MONEY GREED RUINING THE AMERICAN RACE "Parents Burned Out Children Worse; Wealth Sapping Nation’s Vitality,** Says William Muldoon.

In session at the University of Chicago. The alphabet said to have the ap­ proval of type manufacturers and typewriter houses. Is Intended to re­ duce tbe modern English alphabet by nine characters and do away with com­ binations which are cumbersome, wasteful and complicated and do not express clearly the thought of the speaker or writer. Simple vowels are represented In the plan by a dash, while rounded vowels would be marked by a circle, with the open vowels heavy and closed ones light. A horizontal dnsh, for Instance, placed In. front of the stem would mean a '.Imple vowel, while the back position would be rep­ resented by a vertical dash and the Intermediate position by an inclined dash.

Shanghai, China. Dec. 30.—Sun Yai Sen was elected president of the re­ public by the Nanking conference. Thia means that the peace con­ ference between Wu Ting Fung and Tang Shao Yl is closed. The president will assume charge of all negotiations. The continuance of these negotiations with Yuan Shih Kai as the representative of the retiring Mancbu royalty will depend entirely upon the Immediate withdrawal of ail the so-called - Imperial troops from points of contact with the revolution­ ists. .Under these conditions tbe armis­ tice will be extended ten days. In or­ der to give President Sun time to is­ sue the terms under which the Manchus must lay down their arms and .to decide upon pensions and other preliminary details. Court as Thing of Past. Tbe president, or head of the milk tary government established, with tbe capital at Nanking, will treat tbe court as a thing of the past, because eighteen provinces have already voted in favor of a republic in a properly constituted convention, and the edict recently lasued at Peking says that if a representative convention favors a republic the throne will abdicate. Will Accept thu Presidency. immedl-tcly after the receipt of word from Nanking that he had been elected president of the republic of China, Yat Sen handed the following statement to tbe press, with the re­ quest that it be transmitted to his friends In the United States: ”1 consider it my duty to accept tbe presidency. My policy will be to se­ cure peace and r stable government by the promptest methods possible. My single aim is to Insure the peace and contentment ot tbe millions of my fellow countrymen.” No Recognition From America. Washlugton, Dec. 30.—Tbe ‘United States will Qot recognize the new Chinese republic formally at this mo­ ment or until it becomes clear that the imperialists are no longer capable of maintaining themselves in power. But this attitude will not prevent the representatives of the state de­ partment In China from doing busi­ ness with the provisional republic to the extent of safeguarding American lives and property and in doing any needful thing to assist In tbe restora­ tion of peace. ■ The point of interest at present is whether Wu Ting Fang, who has been acting as the mouthpiece of the revolutionists. Is prepared to recog­ nize Dr. Sun as president. It is assumed that Dr. Wu’s Instruc­ tions will be to reject tbe last proffer of the Imperialists to allow a nation­ al assembly to decide the form of the permanent government of China. Nothing less than tbe Immediate rec­ ognition of the new republic *s likely to be accepted. Called “Enlightened Reformer." London, Dec. 30.—"Sun Yat Sen Is a genuinely enlightened reformer, well qualified by talents and training to be the Garibaldi of China” This Is tbe opinion of Dr. James Cantlie. famous London surgeon, and probably tbe best friend the Chinese republican leader has in tbe world. It was Dr. CantUe who was the means of releasing Sun from the Chinese le­ gation in London In 1896. where be bad been imprisoned after being kid­ naped on the streets by three legation attaches. There was a price on Sun's bead in China, and it was the Intention of tbe legation authorities to smuggle him aboard a chartered ship for Peking, where ne would promptly have been beheaded. Sun got out a note to his friend through the medium of a coal scuttle,’bis case was brought to- the attention of the British foreign office, and tbe u lease followed. WILL of thh order, tar SLra’k-.

The chief cause for fear Greet the New Year With Renewed Energy We realize that many of you failed to come up last year to the mark you had set. We know that some of you fully intend­ ed to get started right during the year, but you put it off and the year slipped away before you knew it, leaving you but little better off than you were the year before. Whose fault was it? You know, just as well as we do. It was that little thief of time we call procrastination. You intended to make the import­ ant move, but somehow you failed to get started. You just waited around and saw the other fellow gobble up that piece of property you wanted and make a good thing on it, and then kicked yourself for not grabbing the chance. Don’t do it again. Make 1912 make good for you. Take hold and get started. There never were better opportunities in this old state of Michigan for fellows of7push, grit and energy than there are right now, this very minute, while 1912 is a baby. You can’t look over our real estate lists as we publish them from week to week without knowing that there are opportunities there which you ought to seize before some one else gets them. You know what real, estate in this section is, and you know that on almost any sort of a farm deal you simply can’t lose. If you can find one single farm which has changed hands in this section in the last ten years at a loss in price, we will give you a handsome pic­ ture of Peck Wenger and his new son. You can’t find one. Every farm which has been sold has brought increased prices. And at that the increase has just started. When you can buy a good farm at $60 to $75 per acre, you are buyingit for less than it is worth, and you know it. And you know in your own mind another thing, and that is that it won’t be long before you will have to pay $100 per acre if you want to buy the right kind of a place. When farms in Montcalm, Gratiot, Isabella and other counties north ot us are selling at $100 to $125 per acre, do you think you can lose money on Barry county farms at $65? Sounds foolish, don’t it? Do you think you can buy any One of Ed Liebhauser*s farms at the price he paid for it? Try it We don’t happen to have any of Ed’s farms for sale, but we have a number of others which we think are just as good, and we would like to sell you one. If you don’t find something here which just suits you, let us know what you would like and see if we can’t find it for you. Whether we do or don’t, our time won’t cost you anything. We are mis­ sionaries and we live on faith and fresh air. Come in and get a calendar, and tell us what you have on your mind. Puzzle Picture—Find One that is not a Bargain 8.817 Who wants a stock farm? We have 320 acres in Assyria town­ ship, owned by outside parties, and they will exchange for good city property or a smaller farm, and give buyer a good opportunity to pay bal­ ance. There is about 120 acres of this farm now under cultivation, and the balance is woods and pasture Some low land. Timber is good for wood—mostly second growth oak There is a good frame house and a new basement barn, 40x80. Now if some one wants a good stock farm, this place ought to suit them, as it can be bought on reasonable terms, and you can turn in other property to start with. D. 427. One acre with a good -house, just outside of Vermontville. Is owned by Mr. Dilley, and he wish­ es to sell, so has made the price $500, although It is worth much more. The place ought to sell quickly at this price. There Is other land joining it which can be bought reasonably if more land is wanted, and it is a fine place of 20 acres. Better look this up if you want a small place close to town. 8. 215. Eighty acres 4 miles north of Harbor Springs. Emmet county, Mich. 50 acres rolling, 30 acres level. 50 acres timber. 30 Improved.

T A YOUNG LADY By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY Booth Adams was in Europe when his widowed mother bought her coun­ try place, and about all she wrote him in regard to it was the price paid and the fact that It was four miles from the village of Smithtown. Two months later, when he returned to the States and wrote his mother that he would motor down on a certain date, his sis­ ter Kate answered, the letter. Her information was a little more particu­ lar. She wrote. "It’s a lovely place and you will be charmed with it. Stop at* tbe railroad station in Smithtown to meet a young lady who is to visit me." Until the young man was gliding over the turnpike on Lis thirty-mlie run he was calm. Then he began to think of the young lady he was to meet Would she be at the ■ station when he arrived? Was she coming down from the city on one cf the six trains a day? Which particular one? What was her name? Would she be expecting to be met? When a young man Is asked to meet a young lady there are some little points he should be posted on. ’ . Mr. Adams bad started at an early hour in the morning. The young lady might not start until a late hour in the afternoon. There might be two ladles there to be met, and it was on the cards that-he would mix them up. Even if there were only one young lady she might ask him to Identify himself before taking a four-mile trip in bis company.' What seemed a mere trifle at first began to grow In. bulk. A train had just left passengers at Smithtown and rolled on when Mr. Adams motored up. There was a fat man walking up and down tbe plat­ form: there was a tall, lean woman Bitting on a long, thin trunk; there was a young woman looking out of the depot door and tapping her Toot in an impatient way. She was a good­ looking young woman and wore a fashionable traveling suit She was just such a young person us sister Yours for business, DOWNING PROPRIETOR 1-4 OFF SALE Beginning January 1st, we offer everything in our stock of coats and furs at 1-4 off marked price Owing to the unfavorable season we still have several beautiful coats and a fairly good line of furs.

Real Estate Bargains, page 3 A Circuit of Eight Miles. Kate would invite down to spend a muuin. oue gave a start as she saw the auto and then came forward. Mr. Adams was about to raise his cap and introduce himself and mention Bister Kate when the young lady said: "That's my trunk over there. I have been here two long hours. Didn’t they know by what train I was coming?" “I—I don’t know." "Some mistake somewhere. I do hate waiting around an old depot. I'll sit with you. Sure you got the right trunk?” “Oh, yes." "Well, move along, then," There were no less than three roads leading away from the depot. Mr. Ad­ ams didn't know which to take, and he didn’t believe the girl had ever been there before, but it came over him to keep to the right, and away be went No objections were made, but after two or thre." minutes he was asked: "You are used to autos, are you?” "Fairly so.” "I met with an accident through an Incompetent chauffeur, and I don't want another. It’s a pity that so many of them drink." "Are there many guests at the bouse?” *1 don’t think there are any as yet." Mr. Adams hadn’t been quite sat­ isfied about the young lady, and now he was sure that there was a mistake. It was time to ask questions and settle doubts, but before he could begin, the auto struck a stone and skidded. It did not .get away from him, but It frightened his passenger, and she screamed out and exclaimed: "You must have been drinking!** "Not a drop, misa” "Then you are not a competent driver. I wish I had started out and walked!” Mr. Adams was very red in the face and very much perturbed, but the mo­ ment for explanations bad passed. He proceeded with the utmost care, but thia was not a turnpike. It was a farmers' road. Despite the chauffeur's vigilance there were bumps and jumps, and at each one came a reprimand from the girl. At length she Mid: "I am simply afraid of q»y life! That mti«t be the honss yonder and I will walk tbe rest of the way." “Put Mies—.” began Mr. Adams, when be was cut short with' It was an awful cut on Mr. Adsura, but he had to stand it.' He must land the trunk if not the girl, and so be stopped and pretended to tinker at the machinery until he saw her reach the house ahead. Then he went forward with a dash and deposited the trunk Inside the gate and fled for his life. Two miles further on a farmer told him that be would have to make a circuit of eight miles to get back to the depot In making the circle the auto got stuck In a mudbole and it balked at a hill, and for half an hour a farmer with a load of hay refused to give half the road. When the depot was reached the only one in sight was the agent and there was a grin on his face as he said: ' "Carried off the wrong one, didn’t you?" “I sure did." ’ "The other one came down on the next train. She said a young man was to meet her?’ "But I wasn’t here." “No! Didn’t make much difference to her, though. She hired Elder Spoon­ er’s horse and buggy and a boy to drive her over the Widow Adams’ place. Left word that you needn’t worry nor be in a hurry. Said that you might linger along and see the scenery."’ "But who was tbe girl I took away?" asked Adams. •■What? * didn’t you even get her name? I don’t know It myself, but she’s a high flyer from town on a visit to the Draytons.” "And the other young lady? What sort was she?" . "Another high flyer. Say. young man, if your name is Adams I want to con­ gratulate you.”" “But I don’t see—” “Oh, yes, you do. Tbe first high flyer probably took you for a chauf­ feur, and she’ll be mad about it, and you weren't here to meet the second, and she’ll be madder yet. Things mixed up! Got to be straightened out Apologies to be made. Two high fly­ ers—one young man. Take the left­ hand road this time." From bis mother and stater the son and brother; received two long and very caustic lectures, each one ending with:. “Why, we wanted you and Lottie Morton to meet, because—because— and that old horse fell down and pitched her out of the buggy and skinned her elbows, and now she'll always be mad at you!” But mother and daughter were not true prophets. After a day In bed Miss Lottie got up to say that no­ body was to blame, and Mr. Booth Ad­ ams felt himself forgiven. He had come down for a stay of two days, snd he remained two weeks. In fact, he was so Interested in "home affairs" that when the other "high flyer" sent pology 1be just him a letter of ax._„_ skimmed through It. He had even forgotten the station agent when be drove up to make inquiries about trains, having Miss Lottie with him: “Yes, they've put on an early morn­ ing train," was the reply. "I've heard all about that flyer at Drayton's, but—" “But what?" "It wouldn't interest you for a cent —not now!” And Mr. Adams turned away with­ out even calling him an impudent man. you cannot—8.

The squirrels in Fairmount park already are laying In their winter’s supply of nuts—an unfailing sign of a long, hard winter, according to an old weather tradition. Now, Is it too early to get a line on the corn busks and goose bones. If the busks are heavy and cover the ear; If the goose bone is thick and takes on a bluish color, why, then, of course, the winter will be1 cold. But there still is lacking entire con­ firmation. Even with all these signs "right," we will have to wait until the leaves fall to be dead sure. If the leaves fall early and remain evenly distributed on the ground, look out! That means that the grass roots will need protection. Cold weather with­ out much snow is Involved in that kind of capers on the part of the leaves. Or, if you belong to that class of doubters who take no stock in the squirrels, the corn husks, the goose bone or the falling leaves, pay some attention to tbe birds. If you notice a disposition on their part to hike out for the south earlier than usual, then look for an early winter.—Kan­ sas City Times. Origin of “Plagiarist." To brand one who appropriates, that is, steals, the literary work of another to use it as his own thought, tbe child of his own brain Is plagiarism, as ev­ erybody knows, yet few are acquaint­ ed with the derivation of tbe word or know that the plagiarist is literally a child-stealer. Among a certain class of criminals tn Rome In tbe timt of tbe earlier Caesars, there existed tbe damnable custom of stealing children and selling them as slaves. According to Roman law, the child stealers, when detected, received as a part of tbe penalty for their crime, a severeflogging. As the Latin word plaga signifies a stripe or lash, tbe ancient kidnappers were termed "plaglari"— that is, deserving of stripes. So both the crime and the criminals received their names from tbe castigation in­ flicted. Ths Reason. The Drummer—Would you believe It, each sample costs us ten cents apiece. Fri nd—Indeed?

Big Rapids.—Walter Newton, six­ teen years old, and Clarence Cook, thirteen years old, both farm j boys living In Big Rapids township, ■ i they broke through the ice while skat­ ing on Muskegon river, three miles south of here. One of the lads was skating a little ahead of the other when the first one came upon a hole about ten feet wide. He was going so fast that he could not skate around it ; and broke through while close to Its edge. The boy following tried to avoid the hole also, but plunged Into the water. Their yells attracted the attention of a fanner living about half a mile from the spot He, with oth­ ers, rushed to the river, but did not arrive in time to effect a rescue. As they reached the shore of tbe river they saw the head of one of the boys above the surface of the water, but It disappeared when they reached th® edge of the broken ice. Pontiac.—That Pontiac Is again encountering an epidemic of thiev­ ery was demonstrated when the home of .D. W. Connell, 78 Fairgrove avenue, was entered, a kitchen win­ dow being pried open. A purse con­ taining 1100 had been left on the kitchen table. The thieves took the money, but disturbed nothing else. A few days ago the homes of Dr. H. 8. Chapman, Dr. J. J. Murphy and D. H. Power were entered in a similar man­ ner and ransacked. Besides these thefts there have been numerous cases of clothing stolen from board­ ing and rooming bouses.

The new channel will enable boats proceeding down the Detroit river to escape the shallow limekiln crossing on their way to Lake Erie. Tbe new channel enables steamers to proceed along tbe Detroit river Into Like Erie and remain in American waters all tbe way.

It was apparent to anyone- -be he scientist or layman— that the serpent was in a white heat of fury. Woe betide tbe human flesh that came within reach of that eager, death­ dealing venom. Britz, though he was known the length and breadth of the department as. the coolest proposition under Man­ ning’s command, frankly shuddered as he watched the undulating menace of the serpent’s body, and the staccato play of the tongue that seemed to mock him with the deadly humor of a flend. He was willing to risk his life, if need be, to prevent tha escape of the dark, subtle enemies tfhose de­ moniacal Ingenuity had caught him in such a trap, for trapped he seemed to be beyond the possibility of escape.* That they had matched their cunning against bls cold, hard.

At last he nipped the smooth ambgr of the pipestem's mouthpiece between the tips of his first and second fin­ gers. It was the slightest of grasps: but so steady were the nerves of the Headquarters man that although the cobra tn its swaying seemed to ap­ proach ever nearer the arm and naked wrist that shrank involuntarily from the fancied death-thrust of those gleaming fangs, still he did not flinch. He clung , to the pipestem, his fingers steadily drawing it toward him until he bad a firm clutch on the rubber tube. Then with a powerful upward and backward heave, he regained his position on the chiffonier, the twisting hose gripped in his hand. The other end of tbe pipestem still was attached to the bowl of the Darghlleh. As the tube festooned between the table and the chiffonier, it went close to the head of the cobra. Lightning-like, the head dashed toward It, fangs bristling, and only a quick twitch of the detec­ tive’s fingers snatched the stem be­ yond the reach ot those poison-freight­ ed Ivory needles. That jerk freed the other end of the tube from the pipe bowl, and Britt quickly looped it in his hands. Holding both enas of the long stem, he knotted a single loop in the mid­ dle and flung it like a double lariat upon the tabky-beside the pistol. Slow­ ly dragging the pipestem back, he pulled it, after several trials, about the chamber of the weapon. Then, banding one end of the tube to the doctor, Britz took hold of the other, explaining his purpose to Fitch in a few words. The detective stretched his arm away from the chiffonier at one end; the physician did the same at the other, and they stool pulling in opposite directions, thus tightening the loop about the ptstoL When the grip of the tube on the weapon was firm enough, it was comparatively easy to swing the revolver from the table to the chiffonier. Britt gripped the gun with an intake ot breath that betokened satisfaction. “Now, then, doc,” he said briskly.

BROWN empty cartridges and only one that held the potentiality ot release from their dangerously uncertain refuge on the chiffonier. Crooking his left arm, he used the angle made by his elbow as a rest and leveled the long blue barrel of tbe big-calibered weapon steadily. Pausing until the swaying ot the serpent diminished as much as it apparently was going to do, he fired. A writhing, twisting snarl was tbe result. The cobra coiled and uncoiled with electric rapidity, traveling in cir­ cles ail over the space between the chiffonier and the table whence Britz had !assoed the pistol. Plainly the reptile was hit—mortally wounded, he thought, but as he started to descend Impatiently. Fitch selzdd him and lit­ erally flung him back on the chiffon­ ier’s smooth top. “Not yet.” said the doctor, nervous­ ly. "Let’s wait a minute.” It was profitable patience. For after probably a minute of terrible struggle, the cobra returned to its coll and once more reared its head. The gray body throbbed fiercely, but closer scrutiny showed the man the snake hod not been hit with fatal result. Suddenly the physician seized Brits’ arm in a nervous grasp. "By Jupiter! ** he exclaimed. •'You’re shot out its tongue!” True enough. The fifth bullet had passed between the gaping jaws of the reptile and taken off the greater part of that darting sqarlet thread as neatly as a sharp instrument could snuff a candle. While tbe wound doubtless caused agony to the snake, ft did not lessen Its an.rer. The poi­ son-charged fangs remained in its mouth, and the cutting off of its tongue swelled Its fury to the ultimate degree. Britt dropped the pistol on the chlftbnier and thrust both hands in his pockets. “Up a tree for fair," he said. “Noth­ ing more doing in the artillery line." “That was your last cartridge?" Britt bent his head affirmatively. An expression of slow wrath gathered force in the Headquarters man’s face, as he stared at the swaying serpent such a short distance below. One could see he was angry enough to take the desperate chance of spring­ ing from his perch and trying to strike the cobra with his heels, or, failing that, seizing it by the neck, seeking to throttle It The instinct of self-preservation, however. was stronger than rage. Britt was willing enough to risk his life in the fulfill­ ing of his duty, so long as the risk meant a fighting chance to him. He was too sensible absolutely to throw his life away, and something told him that in spite of all thcs-courage in the world, no min would have an appreci­ able percentage of opportunity In a battle at close quarters with so ven­ omous a serpent Yet he must get out of that house. He felt he was the only man on the police force who could be sure of heading off the Ori­ entals. In that vAry moment they might be beyond the city’s limits, bearing the booty he had pursued for weeks. It was more than his self­ poise could st^nd. He gave rein to his anger, anjLfor the first time in all the doctor>a&uajntance with him be swore hard and Cast and long. Hts Cow of profanity 'itopped as suddenly as it had commenced.

Britt in a moment or two realized the doctor spoke true. Tbe swaying, neutral-tinted body was no easy mark for the most practiced marksman. His first shot went wide. The bullet imbedded Itself in a leg of the table with a rasping sound that only Infuri­ ated the cobra the more. Britt his nerve slightly shaken by the miss, fired again quickly, shivered the bowl of the narghlleh, and caused the snake to oscillate more and more vio­ lently. It became apparent be would gain nothing by aiming at its head. “I’ll have a try at him 'midships,“ he said.

FASCINATION OF THE SHOE Both Sexes in History Have Shown Vanity in the Selection of Their Footwear. Solomon, perhaps, like Restlf de la Bretopne, knew the fascination of a well-made little boot, for a woman’s boot Is a fetich to certain amorists, whether It be new or old, bronze, black, tan or white. There Is a mania or a disease for stealing women’s shoes, and Germans, who taka life leisurely, name it "FrauenschuBtehle —monomanle.” Women themselves have been capricious and inexorable in the shape and the material Queen Mary restricted the width of the too to six inches. The stern Spartans af­ fected red shoes. But the wife of bimon Eyre, representing the women of her period, exclaimed in the play: "Roger, thou know’st the size of my foot; as it Is none of the biggest, so, I thank God, it is handsome enough; prithee, let me have a pair of shoes made, cork, good Roger, wooden heel, tpo." But men have shown a like care. An Englishman of renown in the time when it was fashionable to dine at ten a. m. gave his undivided attention to the extension of toe­ points twisted like a ram’s horn. The magistrates of Rome were also fussy. At Athens when Alcibiades set the fashions, shoes were named after him, as Henry Clay, Robert Burns, William Cullen Bryant and Chester. A. Arthur gave their names to cigars; as cravats have been named after popular actors. The American woman may be pardoned after all for pre­ ferring a boot to dazzling bareness, for over a century ago the London Chronicle stated that shoes for women were mode at Lynn.

ON By CLAR A INEZ DEACON When the sign of "‘Charles .Blais­ dell, M. D.." appeared over tbe door of u modest little office In the village of Stoneham, there were those wbo said that unless Providence Interfered the new-comer would fetch up In the poor-house within a year. Stoneham was not ’ only one of -the healthiest places In the state, but it had more physicians per capita than any other. It wasn't the doctors who kept the town so healthy, but ’ it was the healthy people who kept the doctors without -practice. . Doctor Blaisdell was young. The people, who might possibly fall sick and need his services said his sge was against him. It wouldn't inspire confidence. He was also a good-look­ ing young man. They also said that was against him. He must be vain and flighty. It was rumored that he was athletic, but be made no friends through that. The idea in Stoneham was that a doctor should be at least forty years old. gruff of speech and manner, and that When not sitting in his office and waiting for patients he should be walking about with his hands behind him and his head down. The big man In Stoneham was known as Old Harper. He was not yet fifty years aid, but they gave him the title because he employed many men, and was very brusque and blunt. Mr. Harper was rich. He also had a daughter Minnie. He 'was also a bit ebcentric. Had Doctor Blaisdell been told these things when he hung out his sign he might have asked what dif­ ference ft could have made to him, but he wasn't told. He was left to find It out for himself, which was the better way. ' He was sitting In his of­ fice one morning when Old Harper walked In on him and roughly began: "Young man, what fool advised you to hang out your shingle In this town!" “I am not chummy with fools, sir!’* was the reply. "You know me, don’t you?" make him trouble, and I don't want to. I rather like him. ’ “Oh, I guess jou needn't worry." The doctor took his walks and tbe girl took her gallops. They met and passed by. All tbe time they pretend­ ed not to be interested, but they were pretenders. When things had gone along In this unsatisfactory way for two or three weeks a bug stepped In to help solve the problem. Old Harper went to the city, one morning, and an hour after- bls departure from tbe house a wandering bug wandered Into Miss Minnie’s ear. Of course she screamed and pushed him in further. Then It was the mother and a match—cold water—hot water—camphor—but that bug had a mission to perform. When be couldn't be coaxed out there was nothing to do but call the doctor for the sufferer. There were Doctors Ag­ new, Wharton and Davis, but Miss Minnie dismounted at the door of Doctor Blaisdell's office. "Something In the ear? We'll have it out in a moment. Ah. a bug! Good thing you came at once. The father’s hand is well again, I hope. Please allow me to help you to the saddle.” "So he's as good at bugs ns he is at slivers?" laughed the father when he returned at night and heard of the incident. “Mother, help me keep an eye on that young man. He's sure nervy. Bet you two to one bell call and see if there wasn't a bug he over* looked." "Father, how silly!” chided the daughter. But he laughed at her the next day. Doctor Blaisdell called. He happened to be going by. and he just ran in to see if there was any inflammation. No. not a bit, and then he sat down and talked for twenty minutes—not of ears and bugs, but-of other things. ‘It’s coming, girl,” said the father. "What a silly old goose!" “You’ll have a pimple on the nose next thing, and itll be another call at his office. Then he must drop in here to see if the nose is there yet, and —and----- " “Don't plague her," said the moth- "But there’s trouble coming.

I'm a bit of a scraper rayself. If I do you "But you can't." Tbe two prepared themselves and began. Old Harper meant to knock that young doctor's head off. He liked him, but he wanted to settle the question of who was boss. He was a powerful man, and he sailed in for all be waa worth. When he came to his bead was lying on a sofa pillow, and some wine had been forced be­ tween hia teeth. "Wu4 it a knockout.

"These fools of doctors around here call it blood-poisoning, and I have got to go to the city to find out." Doctor Blaisdell pushed bls visitor into a chair and proceeded to remove the bandage from his band. When he had examined It he got out his case of Instruments and pi-epared ban­ dages. ‘Young man, what do you think you are going to do!" asked the caller with a grim look. "You’ve stuck a sliver or bone into your palm and it's- raised a row. Just hold still a moment" Old Harper grinned. If it had been the amputation of a finger he would have grinned. He watched the young doctor and continued to grin. He liked a nervy man, and he de­ tected no sign of trepidation. A tougb ash sliver an inch long was removed, some soothing ointment applied, and the hand bandaged. With a grunt the patient rose up and laid a flvodollar bill on the table. "Fifteen more, please," said the doctor. , Old Harper looked at him with a scowl, but banded out three more fives and backed out without a word. It was when he had turned the corner that he smiled and said to himself. "He’ll get on. Always aak a good price for good work, and when you meet the big man of the town don’t let him bluff you.” Doctor Blaisdell ’ had a punching Indian clubs tn the back room of his office.

TROUBLE AHEAD. One. of the mo’t exciting and bit­ terly contested suits ever pulled ofi in this section is brewing, and trou­ ble looms large upon the horizon. Supervisor Smith sold Lew Pratt a horse, stating that the horse was all right in every way and perfectly safe for anybody to drive. Pratt claims he paid for the horse with this understanding, although It was not so stated on the check while he paid Smith. Now the horse, after being on his good behavior for some time, suddenly developed anarchistic tend­ encies and proceeds to kick over the traces, spills the seat out of the wagon, takes Lew across the neigh­ bors’ yards promiscuously, without Lew's consent and almost withom his knowledge, and in spite of bls most strenuous efforts, spoiling Lew's rep­ utation as a horseman, of which be was very proud, and almost ruining his religion and a suit of clothes Lew got the nag stopped after a time, before everything in the east end of town was wrecked, but he Is vow.ng vengeance in big chunks against the supervisor, and proposes to make it mighty hot for him. He has already retained Arthur Kidder in the case and says he will also em­ ploy the services of Colgrove & Pot­ ter. it would probably be cheap­ er in the long run for Smith to settle the affair out of court, but he abso lately re-fuses to settle if he has to take the horse back. So There the matter stands at present, with friends of the contesting parties taking sides according to which side of the story they hear first, and volunteering -.heir service* as witnesses, so as to get in on the fees. Bill Woodard, Hl Vincent, "Ella'' Wolcott and Walt Hurd have already applied for plac­ es on the jury, but Pratt wants Walt MASON’S PLAN A GOOD ONE. We publish in another column a communication from Harry Mason, one of our progressive farmers, in re­ gard to the establishment of a monthly horse sale day. We know that In several other states these sale days are held regularly, and are proving of much benefit. Even if no outside buyers ever came in to at­ tend the sales, the show would be of benefit, for it would bring local buy­ ers and sellers together. If a man wanted to purchase a certain kind of a horse, he could get a pretty good line-up on what was for sale in the vicinity without driving all over the country, and the man who had horses for sale would be able to show his animals to a number of prospec­ tive buyers with very little trouble. We hope Mr. Mason's suggestion may be taken up by the farmers and that the first sale day will bring out a good showing of animals, so that there will be an incentive to make it a regular thing. There is no ques­ tion but that in a short time outside buyers would find out about it and make it a point to attend the sales. EATON COUNTY INSTITUTE.

Wenger Bros, Farm For Sale GEORGE FRANCK a Greet the New Year With Renewed Energy We realize that many of you failed to come up last year to the mark you had set We know that some of you fully intend­ ed to get started right during the year, but you put it off and the year slipped away before you knew it, leaving you but little better off than you were the year before. Whose fault was it? You know, just as well as We do. It was that little thief thiet of ot time we call procrastination. You intended to make the import import-­ somehow you failed to get started.. You just waited around and saw ant move,but ' * . the other fellow gobble up that piece of property you wanted and make a good thing on it, and then kicked yourself for not grabbing the chance. Don’t do it again. Make 1912 make good for you. Take hold and get started. There never were better opportunities in this old state of Michigan for fellows of push, grit and energy than there are right now, this very minute, while 1912 is a baby. You can’t look over our real estate lists as we publish them from week to week without knowing that there are opportunities there which you ought to seize before some one else gets them. You know what real estate in this section is, and you know that on almost any sort of a farm deal you simply can’t lose. If you can find one single farm which has changed hands in this section in the last ten years at a loss in price, we will give you a handsome pic­ ture of Peck Wenger and his new son. You can’t find one. Every farm which has been sold has brought increased prices. And at that-the increase has just started. When you can buy a good farm at $60 to $75 per acre, you are buying it for less than it is worth, and you know it And you know in your own mind another thing, and that is that it won’t be long before you will have to pay $100 per acre if you want to buy the right kind of a place. When farms in Montcalm, Gratiot, Isabella and other counties north ot us are selling at $100 to $125 per acre, do you think you can lose money on Barry county farms at $65? Sounds foolish, don’t it? Do you think you can buy any one of Ed Liebhauser’s farms at the price he paid for it? Try it We don’t happen to have any of Ed’s farms for sale, but we have a number of others which we think are just as good, and we would like to sell you one. If you don’t find something here which just suits you, let us know what you would like and see if we can’t find it for you. Whether we do or don’t, our time won’t cost you anything. We are mis­ sionaries and we live on faith and fresh air. Come in and get a calendar, and tell us what you have on your mind. Puzzle Picture—Find One that is not a Bargain 8.817 Who wants a stock farm? We have 320 acres In Assyria town­ ship, owned, by outside parties, and they will exchange for good city property or a smaller farm, and give buyer a good opportunity to pay bal­ ance.

Timber Is good for wood—mostly second growth oak There is a good frame house and a new basement barn, 40x80.

London is a great consumer of oysters. The cheapness of the deli­ cacy half a century ago created a de­ mand for It. which has hung with the appetites of the people as tenaciously as the habit of smoking a pipe has among the men. It is estimated that London consumes a billion a year, and the record shows that in 1864. when prices were very low, 700.000,000 were eaten. DECIDE YOURSELF. Want Column An Interlude.

The strong­ est opposition to these advanced ideas of making our judiciary more amenable to the popular will are the recordfl for long and faithful public service made by men of Judge Smith’s appreciation of the responsi­ bility and trust reposed In men oc­ cupying official place. Twenty active years are quite apt to lesson the prestige and popularity of public men more or less political­ ly prominent but with Judge Smith tbe situation is quite the reverse. He commences his fourth term with the happy knowledge of being the unanimous choice of the electorate of his circuit—official proof of the high esteem In which Judge Smith is held by the people In Eaton and Barry counties. A few years ago the judge was tendered a federal Judgeship in New Mexico, further proof of yis recognised standing in judicial circles. Mr. Smith declined tbe appointment following a person­ al visit to the territory, since admit­ ted to the Union. Judge ijmith was elevated to the bench by appointment of Governor John T. Rich, January 3, 1893. In the following spring he was nomi­ nated by the Republicans without op­ position and elected for the'remain­ der of the term and for the new term commencing January 1, 1894. In those days the circuit included Cal­ houn county. Judge Smith carried all the counties In the circuit, de­ feating Hon. James M. Powers, then a resident of this city, by a majority of 1529. In 109'he was again nom­ inated without opposition by tbe Re­ publicans and defeated his former opponent a second time, increasing his majority to 2281. In the spring of 1900 Calhoun was made a circuit, the fifth circuit to consist of Eaton and Barry counties. In the spring 1905 Judge Smith Was again the nominee of bis party without oppo­ sition and in that election was oppos­ ed by the late Robert Dawson, of Hastings. In that election he carried every voting precinct In the circuit except two and was elected by a ma­ jority of 8173. Last spring he was nominated under the primary nomi­ nation system by the Republican, Democratic and Prohibition parties, polling the combined vote of the three parties with the exception of thirty-one scattering ballots. Under the law he was required to elect up­ on wfiich party ticket his name should be placed and he elected the Republican. At the election there was no op­ position, he receiving 6498 votes out of a total of 6512, or all of the votes but 14. The completion of this term will give Judge Smith a quarter ot a century on the bench; we all hope it will be our fortune and his privi­ lege.—Charlotte Republican.

IS HELD IN JAIL Doctor Accused of Murdering An­ other Woman Will Be Questioned a* to Crime In Windy City—Trial Will Begin January 22. Chicago, Jan. 9.—Dr. Harry Elgin Webster, now In Jail in Oregon, 11L, accused of the murder of Bessie Kent, his bigamous wife, stands suspected, it was revealed here, of the murder of another woman. The Chicago phy­ sician, whose trial will begin on Jan­ uary 22, may be responsible for the killing of Mrs. F. E. Mize of the Del Prado hotel, who was shot in front of 5748 Washington avenue on the night of August 22, 1905, according to re­ ports being investigated by Inspector Nicholas Hunt The information connecting Dr. Webster with the 1905 murder was given to Inspector Hunt by Mrs. Lettie ' Moulton, 1508 East Fifty-fifth street, who formerly conducted a boarding house at 6316 Madison avenue, and with whom Dr. Webster resided at the time of the Mize murder. In a statemenf Mrs. Moulton de­ clared: Accusation of Mr*. Moulton. “I believe Dr. Harry Elgin Webster murdered Mrs. Mize. 1 did not say anything about my suspicions before, because 1 felt before I read of his con­ fession of the murder of his wife that my belief might be groundless. When 1 learned that Dr. Webster had ad­ mitted the murder of his wife I be­ came convinced that be killed Mr*. Mize. “I was residing at 6316 Madison avenue and keeping roomers at the time ot the murder of Mrs. Mize, and Dr. Webster was one of them. About a year ago Dr. Webster and a young woman, whom he introduced as his wife, came to my bouse and rehted two rooms tor light housekeeping. They remained about two weeks. "Two months after their departure. Dr. Webster returned to my home and engaged a room for himself. When I asked him where his wlLj was, he said she bad gone to visit relatives. On several occasions I noticed three or four women's watches on his dresser and I asked him to whom they be­ longed. He told me they were his wife's, but I noticed they had differ­ ent monograms. Says Dr. Webster Nseded Money. "Dr. Webster was always hard pressed for funds. He appealed to me about his financial condition an$ 1 gave him a room at a price much less than I ordinarily charged for it “The day after the murder of Mrs. Mize I read in the papers a descrip­ tion sent out by the police of the mur­ derer. This dlscrlption tallied exact­ ly with Dr. Webster and I was 'so struck by the similarity and tbe man­ ner in .which be had acted the night previous that I remarked to him: 'Well, I »ee you're not arrested yet.' “He turned on me with a frightened look and, trembling, said to me: ’What do you mean?’ “I replied In a Joking sort of way: ’W’by. for the murder of Mrs. Mize.' "He did not reply and seemed stunned. Immediately he rushed to his room." • January Clearance Sale WILL COMMENCE THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11.

McDERBY’S Beautifying the Home "1 suppose," said the girl who likes to .talk, "that there really were women once^wbo could gild roilingpins and paint snow scenes on them and hang them up on the parlor wall. Without doubt, there were also clever crea­ tures who could crochet circles of heavy cord and dip them in glue and dry them In the shape of baskets when those'ltems of fancy work were popu­ lar. However, I have strong doubts of women’* ability nowadays to accom­ plish the feats advised in family mag­ azines and columns of household sug­ gestions. “When I gazed at the old style, bat­ tered furniture in our extra bedroom last spring I remembered an article 1 had read on refurnishing the home. With a can of enamel paint and a brush and a devout spirit of duty, the article said, it was easy for any intel­ ligent person to transform utterly anything in the house. The two chairs were birch, the table bird's-eye maple and the dresser walnut; but I had sudden visions of an entirely white enamel room, so I bought the paint. Just then the weather turned hot. "Whenever I have a special burst of energy the weather always turns .hot. The best lurks around corners and lies low. holding its breath, just waiting for me to get ready to do something. Then when I get ready it pouners upon me and reducts me to a wilted rag. But. having started the painting bee. I had to keep on, be­ cause we had company coming the following week. After I had applied one coat of paint Mrs. Ringsted dropped in. Mrs. Ring­ sted is one of those appalling persons who, apparently, without the slightest effort on their part, know bow to do everything, thereby increasing lhe en­ vious dislike of all their acquaint­ ances. In this case Mrs. Ringsted threw up her hands and wailed be­ cause I had not first removed all the old finish on the furniture before J be­ gan painting. "She said it was very simple.

When Give tbe masses nothing to do and I inquired if my dress and complexion they will topple down thrones and cut would do the same If they got spatter­ throat*; give them the government ed with lye. as they undoubtedly would, she got mad and went home. “It was still hotter tbe next day when I put on the second coat of white .whip*. DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT paint, and, really, ! was somewhat dis­ couraged to see how the original color showed through. The dresser was a murky white, the birch chairs were streaky and the maple table was speckled. With the worry and the heat, J looked like a combination of all three of the conditions that afflicted the furniture. " "When I turned from the dresser I found the puppy sitting upright in the rocking chslr wagging his tall expect­ antly over Its freshly painted surface. When I went to chase him out of the room I stumbled over the straight­ chair aad grabbing it wildly to bal­ ance myself, covered my hands with its fresh surface. You know when white paint dries on your skin It turn* dark gray and has to wear off. "Each successive day I devoted three solid hour* to putting on another coat of the paint. Thus I missed one pic­ nic. one matinee and one luncheon. “The family would come and stand around and tel! me how much better the things would have looked had I put In a little- yellow or blue or cerise into thi white enamel to get what they call a tint Once father absent­ mindedly sat down on a chair and stuck there. He took most of it* sur­ face away with him, thus making me a lot of extra work. The morning aft­ er the enamel was on I found that the dresser drawers were stuck tight from the paint on their edge*. In pulling the lower one out by main force I went over backward and hurt my head, also losing my coll of false hair In the open can of paint on the floor. “When Uncle John and Aunt Sue ar­ rived I conducted them to the guest room and gave them full directions. I told them that on no account most they sit on the chairs, because the weather was so hot the paint refused to harden. I told them also that they must not think of ^hutting the dresser drawers because they might never be able to open them again with­ out blowing up the whole thing with dynamite and wasting my handi“Aunt Sue. who I* a good house­ keeper of the old fashioned sort, was greatly annoyed at the open drawer* and from force of habit shut the top one before she thought She had to stay at home from a tea party given for her because all her front hair was in the drawer and she couldn't go without it. Uncle John broke his pen­ knife trying to pry it open and took off his coat to work more easily, throw­ ing it carelessly back of him on the rocking chair. They eventually got the coat off by sopping on turpentine, but they must have been careless, for they ruined the surface of the chair and 1 shall have to do ft all over again. "Uncle John was so concerned over the condition of his coat that be never even apologized for spoiling tbe chair -but then some people never appro­ bate the little esthetic touched that mean so much In Ufa."

Panic-stricken though he had been at first sight of the cobra, he bad the pluck common to the humblest member of “the finest.” and he plain­ ly meditated taking tbe serpent from the rear. He would not trust to fils revolver, lest his alm, spoiled by tbe liitenclty of the situation, should fly high and hit one of'the two refugees atop the chiffonier. But Britz saved the patrolman from what would un­ doubtedly have been a foolhardy act of courage. Hastily breaking his re­ volver open, be made a swift exam­ ination of the cartridge, saw that its rim was not dented by the hammer, and, concluding an accident for which the shell was not to blame bad pre­ vented an explosion, set the chamber once more, and fired again. This time a crack followed. The great cobra shot Into the air, and’then fell squirming to the floor. Its coils un­ bent as at full length if writhed In Its death agony. Britz leaped to the far Bide of the table, seized a heavy book and hurled It on the serpent’s bead.

The widow was not yet dis­ posed for slumber. It had been an exciting night Her fancy had been stimulated so greatly by her brief talk with the Swami In the ballroom that she was unable to turn it from the mysterious Oriental history of the Maharanee diamond. She knew no more of the jewel’s past than she had related to the sage, for her bus­ band had not acquainted her with all the details connected with his acquisi­ tion of It Something In the Swami’s manner caused her to regard the stone with more or less aversion. She be­ gan to doubt tbe purity of Its record. Fond though she was of gems, even to the point of being a Jewel worship­ er, she was American to her finger­ tips. and would shrink In terror from any bauble that came to her stained with the tiniest drop of human blood. She had loved her husband In a spectcd and admired him. It seemed impossible he would be a party to wrongdoing. Yet she could not shake off a sensation />f dread whenever she remembered how Intimately tbe Jewel had nestled In the snows of her throat, and rivaled tbe brightness of her eyes.

A Poor Weak Woman The board of supervisors of Barry County by a vole of sixteen to two submitted to the voters of this coun­ ty the question as to whether or not we shall in the future build our high­ ways under the county system. The vote of the supervisors ii a fair Index of the sentiment of our people. The writer addressed Pomona Grange on the afternoon of the third day of January, setting forth his views of the county system. Much discussion followed, and a vote tak­ en. forty-two for the county system and two against it. This grange Is composed of representative farmers, and 1 believe, is a fair index to the sentiment that exists In this county. Tuesday, January 2, In response to the call of the mayor of the city, a good roads meeting was held ut xhq court house, the board of supervisors attended in a body. Nearly every township was represented and the court room Was Ailed with enthusias­ tic good roads men, ail seeking infor­ mation. That the meeting was emi­ nently successful was shown by the vote taken later by the board of sup­ ervisors when the question was sub­ mitted to them.' This meeting was addressed by Mr. Alvah Brown of Grand Rapids, chair­ man of the Kent County commission­ ers, Mr. W. M. Bryant of Kalamazoo, who has served on the commission since the sytem "was adopted in that county, and Frank F. Rogers, deputy state highway commissioner. The writer extended to these gentlemen an invitation to address this meeting because of their eminent fitness to advise our people on the subject in which we are most interested. Kala­ mazoo County Is our neighbor, and for two years has been working un­ der the county system,and Mr. Bryant during this time has been one of its most faithful servants. Kent County is also our neighbor, and Mr. Brown occupies a like position In his county. I felt sure that the voters of this county were anxious to be advised as to how the system is working in these counties. Mr. Rogers was selected because of his evident fitness and fairness and many yoartj of'experlence. . . Just at the present time I find a feeling In some of the townships that It will be the purpose of the commis­ sion to build the roads under .the CO. system in one place or locality, and that each of the'townships will not have their share. The question was. fully discussed before the board of supervisors, and if I believed for one moment that this was true, 1 would not be so strong an advocate of the system. The truth of the whole mat­ ter is that the roads of Barry County to be hereafter built by the commis­ sioners if the question carries will be indicated by a map.or diagram,show­ ing all of the roads necessary to be built in order to complete a perfect system joining together every village and city In the county. When all of these roads shall have been finally completed, we shall have a perfect system covering the entire county, and not a part of it. It is evident that all of these roads cannot be built in one year. Our board of supervis­ ors will do- just the same as every other board has done where the sys­ tem is in vogue, give each township its share, and finally when the roads are all completed we shall have a perfect system of good highways. Every township will have its just share, but these roads will be built as indicated by the commission and approved by the board of supervis­ ors, so that in the end they shall come together, forming a complete whole. . While the board of supervisors will have the power to levy a 3-mill tax, it is very evident that a much smaller sum will be levied, at least in the be- : gluing. A one and a half mill tax will raise 121,000, and we should have added to this amount, under the itate award system, for the construc­ tion of twenty miles of gravelled road, 110,000. It therefore appears that a tax of 81.50 on every 81.000 assessed valuation would enable us to build 20 miles or more ofgrav^lled road each year with award we would receive from the state. The city of Hastings with its 82,200,000 assess­ ment, and the villages of the county with, nearly a like amount, now pay nothing toward the building of the highways. Under the present sys­ tem the burden is all on the farmer; under the county system the cities and villages will pay nearly onethird, the state one-third and the farmers one-third. These figures may not be exactly correct. It Is not bard to make computation. Figure it out for yourself, Barry county is assessed 814,000,000, and the city of Hastings and the villages are assessed a little more than 84,000,000. A 1 Vi mill tax, aa 1 have said, will raise ' 821,000, or 81-50 on every 81,000 of valuation. This amount, togeth­ er with the amount received from the state, will build more than twenty miles of good road each year. • The writer positively knows that in many of the townships these roads can be built for less than 81200 per mile. Assuming that it will cost 81,590 per mile, w© can readily see that a 1ftmlll tax. together with the state award, in case we build twenty miles a year, would give us 831,000. If the board of supervisors should levy what the law permits them to levy/ a 2-mlll lax, we could build between forty and fifty miles each year. A 2-' mill tax will build two miles in every township each'year. continued on page 3. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S phyMa IT MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG, SICK WOMEN WELL.

We shall, have no hap-hazard road building-under this system, and the work will be done by experienced men, thus saving thousands of dollars that are now being squandered. Mr. Rogers, deputy state highway commissioner, who addressed the meeting January 2, said in part: "It is none of our business whether We try to satisfy our customers you build roads by townships or by the.county system, but it is our busi­ by keeping a full line of all ness whenever called upon to give you kinds of good, appetizing meats all the Information we have, or as . and by giving prompt and much of it as you want at least, and courteous service.

This Is along the idea of going to the people with every subject of public Interest. Briefly, the county road system is a plan whereby the roads of the county are put in charge of a commission - - r' - and built by a general tax spread over all the assessable property of the ORDER FOR PUBLI CATION county, real and personal.

If the board votes to submit the ques­ three *uccm«Iw weeks previous to Mid day of hear­ ing. in the Nashville News, a newspaper printed tion and the people vote to carry It, •nd circulated in said county. then three temporary county road commissioners are appointed, similar to the position that Mr. Brown holds. ‘Probate.

These commissioners will hold office un­ 1912. til the next regular election, the spring of 1913. By a regular elec­ tion we mean a spring election fol­ lowing a session of the legislature, this is in the odd years. The duty of these temporary com­ missioners, is to do just what Mr. Brown and his associates have done— pick out the roads to be improved.

The supervisors after re­ ceiving this report can accept it in full or In part, or reject it in full or in part. They haven’t the power to cut off a mile here and substitute a mile there, the commission is the only one that can take roads and make them county roads.

It will only be three or four years before there will be a continuous good road from Battle Creek to Kalamazoo. They are working out a plan Impossible to the Township system. They intend to connect every city and village in the county by good roads. We have 83 counties In Michigan, and 37 have the county road system. Last October boards in nine counties other than these 37, voted to submit the question to the people at the next April election, and I am pretty well satisfied that nine more will submit it at the present January session.

I the state at that time was ahead of all others in road building). I visited at the country home -of one of the state road Inspectors. In the after­ noon they were gathering peaches, and after supper timy loaded the peaches and started to drive 30 miles to Newark to market them, there was a. railroad station only a short dis­ tance away, and I said, "How can you afford to drive to market?” He said "We got Into a fight with the railroad company over rates and said we would haul to market, and with our good roads we found we could put our pro­ duce on the market Just at the right time in the morning and without ex­ tra handling, more advantageously than by shipping." The railroad company conceded-their demands but the farmers-still continued m haul to market. That is only one illustra­ tion. . The little village of Bear Lake is situated almost in the center of Man­ istee County. The nearest railroad was six miles away. All freight was teamed In over the hills. and a ton was all that could be loaded. They built a road from Bepr Lake toward Manistee and asked the railroad com­ pany to put In a station at the inter­ section of the country road. This they refused to do. After two years they got the gravel road20miles Into Man­ istee, and could haul 3 tons. They got their freight from Manistee. It was­ n’t two months until there was a station, Goodrich, at the intersec­ tion of the county roads. . In Oceana County just the contrary is happening. The towns of Shelby and Hart are rivals, and their town­ ships are building roads, each with no view to accommodation of the other. They cannot get together and build roads for the benefit of the whole community. The township unit in too small to overcome this. In Wexford County the first thing the commissioners did was to build three miles over the hills on the di­ rect road between Cadillac and Man­ ton. This road was so bad that one could hardly get over with an empty wagon. These hills would have stood there until we were in our graves if it had not been for the county system. It makes It possible to take care of difficult pieces of road that the town­ ships could not build. in Kalamazoo County there was Cooper Hill, with grades 8 and 10 feet to ‘the hundred. It was pretty nearly impossible to get up this hill with a load. It. was on the main road. The commissioners graded down to 6 feet. It is now a good road. These pieces of road are nearly always neg­ lected under the township system, because of the difficulty of fixing them. The commissioners, after the tem­ porary commission, will be elected for two, four and six years. So there are always two members of the board who are experienced. It means n continuous board. Even if the new member Is inexperienced, things will go right. The board Is self-perp?tuating. It means that the work Is always In schooled hands. We can go further and say for the county system that it is an economy. In Oceana County five townships have purchased steam rollers and rock crushers, where under the county sys­ tem one-third could do the work that this machinery is doing. A man asked me what were the principal objections to the county­ system. and I told him it was only In counties where they didn’t have it. No county has ever built roads under the county system and abandoned it. I could take you over into Saginaw County where they have built 80 miles and they are getting so enthusiastic over the road system thht the county cannot build roads fast enoqgh for them, and some of the townships are bonding themselves to build roads to supplement the county road system. 1 want to say this, that under the county system you can build more road than under any other system. The state pays the award under the county system just the same as under the township system. Any tow-nshlp can build if it sees fit, and has the privilege of taking care of these roads, except those that are county roads. Bay County was the first county to build roads under the county system. It has 100 miles of stone road. Most of her main roads are macadam, and cared for by the county, which makes the money raised by the townships for repair purposes very low, and en­ ables them to keep their side roads in good condition. The money rais­ ed by Bay County for road purposes is but a fraction of that raised by oth­ er counties. In the first five years of the State Highway Department’s existence 55 per cent of all the mon­ ey disbursed went to 20 counties un­ der the county system. I do not want you to think that we can’t do this with townships, but I do want you to know that I think the cheapest way that any rural com­ munity can Improve its roads is to go into the county system and get the benefit of the assessed valuation of the entire county, and the benefit of a perpetual commission and State aid.—Hon.

If every man adopted this as his life motto, and made a practice of doing the thing he knows he ought to do, atjust the time he knows he ought to do it, 99% of them would be better off, mentally, physically and financially. Take it right home to yourself. Don’t apply it to your neighbor, for this means you. Take it and study it right now. If you realize and believe that it would be a good thing for you to make a change, to get a place of your own, or to get a larger place, do it now. There will never be a better time. Ask your­ self why you should wait—why you keep putting off and put­ ting off from day to day, from week to week and from year to year the thing you know you ought to do now. Make a start. Do it now. Next year, next month, next week, to­ morrow may be too late. Dorft be an oyster. An oyster never moves. Get a move on. Do the thing you know you ought to do and do it now.

BLOM OB SUN BISEASE "SEVEN BARKS’ “Yes," he agreed. "I don't mind tell­ ing you that I'm almost aS eager to get those fellows as I am to recover the..widow’s jewels. They got just a little bit too gay with me for their own good.” He flushed slightly as he recalled how utterly he had been at the mercy of the Hindoos when he lay like a holiday turkey on the floor of that bare room in the unoccupied uptown apartment. "The Hindoos," said’ Britz, “went through the apartments of Sands and Griswold with what Sam Weller would call a double-million-magnify­ ing microscope. They didn’t leave a postage stamp unsearched. They looked Into every hole- and corner, ransacked every drawer, and turned every place inside out I caught ’em at ft—two of them, anyway—tn Sands' room, and they're now in the West Thirtieth Street Station. They must have gone through Griswold's apartment first for It was there. I guess, they found this note from Mil­ licent to ‘Curtis dear,’ and it was this note that gave me a line on how brother Griswold stood With the lady of the Hotel Renaissance. I knew Griswold was In the habit of visiting that hotel, but I didn't know whom he went there to see.. I felt pretty certain when I got the note that it came from somebody In the Renais­ sance. and I got Rawson to send the bunch out on the hunt so that I .could make certain I'd made no mis­ take. "One of the men reported there was a Mme. Delaroche at the Renais­ sance. That looked good enough to me. 1 went there that same night, with the doctor on the sidewalk, as the lookout. I did a little burglary stunt that would -have landed the jewels if the Hindoos had not got there ahead of me. In sottae way or other, those fellows learned about the acquaintance between Griswold and the Delaroche lady about the same time I did. or perhaps a little earlier. One of them got Into her apartment by the fire escape route ard sneaked the jewels from under her pillow. What's more, he content­ ed himself with the diamonds them­ selves, and didn't even take the casket they were in. The jewel case was still under her pillow when I got there, and it wasn't until after the lady, under the impression the gems were In the case, gave herself away more or less, that I found the little box was empty. When I looked out on the fire escape. I saw the handker­ chief the dark-skinned cracksman had dropped In his hurry. That sent us hot-footed to the Swami's house.” When Brits had sketched the his­ tory of the Missioner case. Manning and Fitch looked at him admiringly. Both his hearers were thoughtful 'for a minute or two. Then the ' Chief, ~ ' '. though he realized Britz had solved the mystery, could not refrain from picking flaws. "You have not expained fully," he said, "how Griswold contrived to ■muggle the small diamond into Mias jHolcomb's room." “Nor how the old curiosity dealer had the visiting card of 3ruxton Sands," suggested the doctor healtabtly. He disliked to seem overcritical of a man who had done bo much for Elinor. "Neither have you worked out an explanation of the fact that it was a -woman who gave the order to the three French firms for the manufac­ ture of the false diamonds, and that she gave the name of Elinor Hol­ comb.” Manning pursued. "You'll have to make that clear to Mott, I’m thinking." “I don’t quite understand why the Hindoos kidnaped you, lieutenant," added Fitch tentatively. Britz smiled. "Mere details." Britz replied. "First, Griswold did not smuggle the dia­ mond into Miss Holcomb’s room. That little trick was pulled off by AIL He was the only one who could have done It, and bis reason for want­ ing to throw suspicion on the young woman is plain. He was In the house to get the necklace and he also want­ ed to make a sure getaway. There­ fore. he figured. If the jewels should be missed before he was able to get them out of the house. It would help his chances of escape to have suspi­ cion thrown on the secretary. Ths diamond that was found among her things did not belong to the collarette. But its size and luster matched any one of a dozen of the stones In that magnificent setting, to that all of us took It for granted it was Mrs. Missioner's property." -very good." parried the chief. “How about the other points?** “It needs no vivid Imagination/* said Britz, “to picture Curtis Griswold employing a young woman to take the drawings to the French manufactur­ ers and telling her to introduce her­ self as Elinor Holcomb, or by any other name he desiredManning nodded reluctantly. Fitch approvingly. “As for old Martin's possession of Sands* card," continued the lieuten­ ant, “1 see no explanation about that except that Griswold banded It to him. There seems to be a streak of malicious mlrcbk-f In our club frleud. As a side exploit In pulling off a bfg crime, he would enjoy making trouble -for another—especially for a man he had reason to fear as a rival* which was the case with Satadi. It may be be even hoped to cast suspicion per­ manently on the millionaire, though ’hat seems hardly possible. Even when Sands acted so mysteriously in regard to that letter he recovered from the Hindoo burglar, he did not make me suspect he had stqjen the diamonds, the strongest suspicion I had was that he might be shielding the thief, and that didn't last long.** • "And your own little adventure?” asked the chief <5f detectives with a trace of malice. "Ch, that was only a precaution on their part.. They took the chance I might have recovered the Maharanee, I suppose. Maybe they expected to find In my possession something that would give them a clue to the where­ about« of the stone. Then, once they got me, they thought they might as well keep tae.but of the running until they got what they wanted. It was no part of their plan to let me find the jewels and turn them over to Mrs. Missioner." "You bad a close call there, lieu­ tenant," observed the physician. “Close enough.” said Britz calmly. “But it's all in the day's work.*' As Britz finished there was a timid tap on the door. In response to Man­ ning’s curt "Come In!" Donnelly and Carson crossed the threshold, and did their best to stand at ease In front of the lieutenant's desk; “You sent, huh, for us. Chief?" "Yes,” said Manning. "Lieutenant Britz wants you to attend to a little matter for him." "Yes, Donnelly." said Britz coolly; “if you have nothing better to do judt now, suppose you run up to Curtis Griswold's apartment, and tell him the Chief wants to talk to him." • “Suppose he won't come," said Don­ nelly, who evidently did not yet sus­ pect It was desired that the clubman be taken into custody. "Bring him, then," said Britz. "You haven't forgotten how to show a gen­ tleman down to Headquarters, have you?" Donnelly winced under the lieuten­ ant’s scorn, and Carson turned gray. "And you. Mr. Carson.” said Britz, renewing his Instructions, "be good enough to take a ftp to the Hotel Renaissance, and ask Mrs. Delaroche to come down to see us for a little while." Carson, in the crisis, felt he could not be too precise. "Suppose she declines?” he asked. "Bring her!" said Britz. Fitch laughed aloud at the con­ sternation In the faces of the two de­ tectives. It was manifest both Don­ nelly and Carson were so far from the facts tn the mystery that not only had neither of them dreamed of ma­ king a prisoner of Griswold, that ■uave society man who had volun­ teered sb much assistance to them In their efforts to weave a web of cir­ cumstantial evidence against Elinor Holcomb, but that they were abso­ lutely Ignorant of the existence of such a person as Mllllcent Delaroche. They shuffled their feet with Increas­ ing nervousness as they felt the eyes of their chief upon them. Donnelly shot a glance of fll-repressd hatred at Brits as the lieutenant, at ease in his revolving chair, faced the crestfallen detectives with a satirical smile. Once or twice Donnelly essayed to ■peak. but each time he caught the frozen expression on the faces of the Chief and Britt, and the words died tn his throat Nothing remained save for the two brilliant crime hunters to carry out the lieutenant's orders. As they turned to go their discomfiture was augmented by the real detec­ tive's mock solicitude. "You’ll find it an easy job, boys. Just ask the two of them to come down here quietly, and if they don’t want to come, u.ake 'em. Show them your shields, you know, and all that sort of thing." When they had gone, Britz In­ dulged bls amusement to the extent laugh; Fitch joined him, and of ’ _‘ Manning, after a brief attempt to keep his face strtZght, also laughed heartily. CHAPTER XXV. The Attack on the Yacht Britz, Manning and Fitch walked briskly around the corner and board­ ed at Bleecker Street a subway train. At Fourteenth Street they caught the first uptown Van Cortlandt express of the morning, and they made good time to Two Hundred and Twenty­ fifth Street. There they left the train, and walked quickly along the edge of a grassy bluff overlooking the government cut that now con­ nects the Harlem and Hudson rivers by a more direct route than the ok* Spuyten Duyvil creek. A few hun dred yards beyond the low fence that separates the meadow from the street they came upon a man standing dose behind a large tree. He was screeneo from the little street and from the bridge that spans it by thick under brush. When he sighted Britz he lifted his hand warningiy and beck oned. The three men went within the shelter of the bush. "Anything new, Gordon?" inquired Britz. "Yes," -said the other detective. “They have gone aboard.” “Where's Hicks?’’ ’ "Down th-re near the water, piping them off.” ' . “Ape they on deck?" "No, in the eabln; they seem pret­ ty busy. too." Gordon looked at the sky. It was growing brighter every minute. Stepping with most solicitous ten­ derness on the grass, and avoiding every leaf and twig that might give forth a slight crackle, the four men made their way slowly among the bushes to the spot where Hicks, lying at full length with his head only a little way abovv the ground, war waiting and, at the same time, watch­ ing a naphtha yacht of more than ordinary size. After a whispered conference with Hlcka, Britz slipped bis hand Into a 'side pocket of his coat, and took o«. something that glittered Im the sun ■shine. At a single word from Britz. Gordon and Hicks wormed their way along the bank until they were at the bow of the yacht. Britz, F^tch aud Manning qtnyed near the stern. Sud­ denly the lieutenant fired a shot over toe yacht that echoed - metallically from the cliffs, and at the signal, all five of the attacking party leaped aboard the yacht, their feet striking the polished deck with a concerted thud that must have made those with­ in the cabin think they were feeling the first shock of a landslide. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR GOOD STOMACH. This Offer Should be a Warning to Every Man and Woman. The newspapers and medical jour­ nals recently nave Lad much to sayrelative to a famous millionaire's of­ fer of a million dollars for a naw stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condition of his slomAch. Ho allowed his dyspep­ sia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became incurable. His misfortunes serve as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dysyepsia for a few years will give all he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia is commonly caused by an abnormal state of the gastric juices, or by lack of tone in the walls of the stomach. The result is that the stom­ ach loses its power to digest food. We are now able to supply certain missing elements — to help to restore to the gastric juices their digestive power, and to aid in making the stom­ ach strong and well.

Von W, Fumiss "THE REXALL STORE" Under the auspices of .the Michi­ gan State Good Roads association, a good roads meeting will bo held at the Nashville opera house on Satur­ day afternoon, February 17, at which time it is hoped that all the cltixens of Nashville and the surrounding country who are interested in the question of good roads will be proaent. The. proposed county system will be discussed by Hon. Philip T. Colgrove of Hastings, president of the Michigan State Good Roads associa­ tion. Rev. H. H. VanAuken of Char­ lotte, Richard Bates and John C. Ketcham of Hastings. No matter whether you are In favor of the county system or not, you should be present, qs the matter will have a full and free discussion. This question is of great impor­ tance, for if Barry county adopts the county system it will mean a great change from present methods. Ev­ ery farmer and every citizen of cit­ ies and villages is Interested in this question, and the opera house should be packed tp hear the discussion of the question, so that they may be prepared to vote intelligently. If the county system is the right thing, then that is what we want. If it is not, then we should know it, in order to know which way to vote. W’e arc all interested in good roads, but we are not all of one mind as to which is the best method to obtain them. Let us get all the information we can in regard to ways and means, and then we shall know what we want to do. Attend the meeting, ask questions if you want to, take part in the discussion if you so desire, and you will be better posted on the good roads question than ever before. MASONS HA ITS BIG NIGHT, School of Instruction, Work in Third Degree and a Feast Attended by Large Concourse of Breth­ ren. Tuesday night was a gala night for the Masonic fraternity of Nash­ ville, and they all claim they bad a good time. Grand Lecturer Gilbert of Detroit was present and held a school of Instruction, 3rd degree was conferred on one candidate, tnd about 125 of the brothers ot the square and compass enjoyed a spread which put them all in the best hu­ mor. The banquet was served by the ladies of the Eastern Star, in the hall of Ivy lodge, Knights of Pythias, just across the hall from the Masonic quarters, and those who were fortu­ nate enough to be present say it was one of the finest they ever sat down to. The banquet was at 6:30, and immediately following the banquet the company repaired to the Mason­ ic hall, where the school of instruc­ tion was held. The third degree was conferred by Nashville lodge, the candidate being Frank Sage of Hastings. A large number of visitors were present from Hastings, Vermontville, Charlotte. Kalamo and other places, and the lodge room was filled to its capacity to see the work, on which Nashville lodge received many com­ pliments: NEW REBEKAH OFFICERS.

Flourishing New Organization Opens Headquarters in the McWTia Building on South Main Street. A new organization, under the name of the Nashville Athletic club, has rented the McWha building on South Main street, which is being fitted up for a gymnasium and club room. The first meeting was held Tuesday evening and the following officers elected: President—Fred Reynolds. Vice President—Freel Garllnger. Secretary—Carl Lent*. Treasurer—Kent Nelson. Athletic Manager—Seth Graham. Amos Hinkley and Newt Trautman were appointed trustees for a term of six months. The new gymnasium has been equipped with a temporary,, wrestling mat, two set* of boxing gloves, chest weights, striking bag, platform punching bag, dumb-bells, Indian clubs, etc., and It is expected more equipment will be added from time to time. It is the intention to have the club conducted along the right lines, with strict rules in regard to smoking, drinking, and profane language, and in such a manner as to deserve the approbation of the people of the village. A committee has been ap­ pointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, to be adopted at a later meeting. The hours for closing have been set for ten o’clock except on Saturday nights, when'the rooms will be open until 11. Each mem­ ber is to be taxed for his share of the monthly expenses. The rear room is to be fitted up as a reading room, and only the better class of literature will be permitted. The association starts, out with about 45 members, and hopes to ex­ tend that by a considerable number. CHANGE IN ATTRACTIONS. Philadelphia Opera and Concert Par­ ty Conies in Place of Washington Brothers Colored Quartette. Nashville people are In luck. The Alliance Lyceum Bureau, which furnishes the Nashville entertain­ ment course this season, happened to have an open date for the Phila­ delphia Opera and Concert Party, one of the best and highest priced attrac­ tions in their list, and they have agreed to send this attraction to Nashville in place of the Washing­ ton Brothers colored quartette. This transfer necessitates a change in dates. The colored quartette was booked for February 22. but the date tor the Opera and Concert Party has been arranged for the evening of February 14, St. Valentine’s day. The Philadelphia company is com­ posed of five people, all great musi­ cal artists. They present all that Is best and most popular in vocal music, current and classic. Their en­ tertainments are of a high order, and of such variety that an interest­ ing and satisfying program is as­ sured. ' Their programs are uncon­ ventional and unusual. They con­ tain novelties that meet the approv­ al of the most critical and educated musical tastes. A special feature of their entertainments is the presen­ tation, in rich and appropriate cos­ tumes, of grand and light operas. One of the distinct features is the presentation of the Japanese comic opera, “The Mikado,” for which their costumes were imported direct from Japan. Solos, duets and oratorio excerpts are interpolated between the opera scenes. This is the only company in the lyceum which pre­ sents complete operas. The mem­ bers of the company are Theodore Burkart, basso, Walter LeRoy Ponti­ us, lyric tenor. Miss Lotta CotteraH, mezzo contralto. Miss Caroline B. Schrenk, dramatic soprano, and Hor­ ace Hokanson, musical director. Season tickets admit as uqual and to the single reservations. Sin­ gle admissions will be 35 cents; children 25 cents. Remember the date, Wednesday evening, February 14. NASHVILLE TO HAVE LAUNDRY. Since Will Hoisington sold his laundry in the fall and went to Illi­ nois, Nashville has had plenty of laundry troubles. H. R. Fuller, who knew absolutely nothing about the lauAdry business, bought the outfiton a contract and tried to run it, but made such a dismal failure of It that his customers nearly all became dis­ gusted and sent their work out of town. About a month ago Fuller pulled his freight and since then the place has been closed. New E. C. Vrooman of Hastings has leased the building and Is put­ ting in an entirely new outfit, part of which has arrived and the rest has been shipped, so that prospects are good for our having a perfectly good laundry within a short time. Mr. Vrooman is a practical laundry man. having been “brought up” in the bus­ iness, and with new machinery throughout will be in shape to do as good work as can be done any­ where. The old machinery will be moved out and the place cleaned up thoroughly before Mr. Vrooman op­ ens the place for business. SUNDAY TRAFFIC HELD UP. The derailment of a car of coal, In the middle of a freight train, which happened between Vermont­ ville and Chester Sunday morning, held up trains for -several hours. Train 101, due here at 5:00 a. m. did not arrive until 10:00, No. 103, due here at 7:55 following it about half an hour later. The accident was a fortunate one, a* no one was hurt and about the only damage done aside from the delay to traffic was the spilling of a car of coal. DR. CULP TONIGHT. The third number of the Nashville Entertainment course will be given at the opera house tonight by Dr. W. T. Sherman Culp, whose lecture of last year on “Uncrowned Kings” was almost unanimously voted the best that ha* ever been heard in Nashville. His lecture this year will be on a different subject, but we have no reaeon to doubt will be fully as interesting.* Dr. Culp will be greeted by a full house, that is cer­ tain. Single admissions 25 cent*. ABAS CLOTH SIGNS. The state fire marshal is notify­ ing all fire department chiefs, mayors of cities and presidents of villages that cloth signs must be done away with in all cities and villages of the state. The state insurance depart­ ment has become satisfied that the use of such signs in front of stores, vacant, buildings, on bill-boards, etc., is a decided fire hazard, and the of­ ficials are directed to see that all such are promptly removed and that this method of advertising discon­ tinued. 1912 NUMBER 24 LOCAL NEWS.

Professor of Soils Michigan Agricultural College Considerable areas of so-called muck land are found throughout the drift region. Because of tbe fact that these lands are lowlying and are frequently diffcult to drain, and because, also, in moat cases they behave differently from upland soils both in tbe crops they will produce and In the freedom with which they will produce, owners of such lands are frequently uncertain of their management. First of all muck soils should be thoroughly drained; and until they are drained it is practically Impossible to grow the common crops upon them. Frequently the fall is so slight that the work of tile draining must be done with great care in order to insure a system that will work.

Don’t apply it to your neighbor, for this means you. Take it and study it right now.

Children Cry CASTORIA 9oo Drops The Hill Auditorium. Building operations on the new $200,000 auditorium, bequeathed to the University by the late Regent Hill, will soon be under way. Arch­ itect Kahn's plans and specifications have been accepted and the contract has been awarded to James L. Staurt, of Pittsburg, who agrees to complete the structure within seven months after ground is broken. Hugh Tallant, the greatest acoustics engineer In America, will have charge of the Interior arrangements so far as they affect the sounding properties of the hall. With a seating capacity of 5500, the auditorium will, when completed, be large enough to meet every de­ mand when great crowds are enter­ tained. as during the May Festival series of concerts and commencement week, occasions when University hall, the present auditorium, proves whol­ ly Inadequate. Naturally enough, fond parents who have Journeyed .weary miles to Ann Arbor to witness the graduation of a son or a daughter, are some­ what disgruntled to learn, upon their arrival, that the Incapacity of Uni­ versity Hall will make It necessary for them to linger outside while the ceremonies are in progress. Mere friends and sweethearts might bear their disappointment with fortitude, and some have done so. but parent’s sense of the general fitness of things is sure to be outraged by such a prohibition. Time was, however, when the 3000 seats in old "U Hall”, as it is familiarly called, afforded ample ac­ commodations. In those earlier days, when the graduates filled on­ ly a few front seats and their par­ ents and friends had plenty of room in the remaining space on the main floor, the gallery was available to the promiscuous small boy, who munched peanuts during the solemn procedure and wondered what it all meant. But times have changed. The graduating classes from the sev­ en great departments—there were a thousand graduates last year— now nearly fill the entire lower floor, the Faculty being crowded upon tbe small platform and in obscure cor­ ners about tbe hall, while tbe seats In the gallery are apportioned, through an elaborate process of elim­ ination, to a few choice individuals who happen to be lucky. Hence the urgent need for the new hall. The Hill auditorium will be 171 feet wide and 174 feet deep, and will contain a stage 74 feet wide and 30 feet deep, large enough for the stag­ ing of grand opera, or for accommo­ dating the large choruses that sing In the Choral Union concerts. The great Columbia organ will occupy a gallery just above the stage on a level with the balcony. In general shape, the assembly hall will resem­ ble the longitudinal section of a megaphone, an arrangement which Insures the best results in acoustic properties. A foyer, 25 feet wide and 170 feet long will afford oppor­ tunity for the delightful intermission promenade of the continental thea­ tre. The one regret is that this splendid structure will not be ready for use next June, when the Univers­ ity celebrates the seventy-fifth anni­ versary of Its founding. ' A Doable Victory. Last Friday night Michigan de­ baters won a double victory, one team defeating Chicago, the other, Northwestern. The question was, 'Resolved, That the Recall should be Adopted for all Executive State and Municipal Officers, except Judges." Tbe Michigan team at Chicago sup­ ported tbe negative of the question and won a unanimous verdict, while the team which represented Mich­ igan against Northwestern In Uni­ versity Hall defeated Its opponents in a two to one decision on the af­ firmative side of the same ques­ tion. Besides gaining eligibility to membership in Delta Sigma Rbo. the honorary debating fraternity, each member of the two teams will re­ ceive the Alger debating medal, end a testimonial wf fifty dollars. A Revolution in University Courses. A complete readjustment of the undergraduate courses in the Liter­ ary department of the University of Michigan, with a consequent change In tbe requirements for graduation, will probably go into effect with the opening of college next fall. The proposed plan contemplates tbe sub­ stitution ot a "group system” of courses for the present unrestricted freedom of election, with a differ­ entiation in the degrees available to the student body. The change will be made in the interest of a better co­ ordination of studies than can possi­ bly be obtained under a system that permits the student a promiscuous choice from a wide range of sub­ jects. At present only six out of the 129 hours required for graduation are prescribed. ’ Under the new arrange­ ment one-third of the 120 hours will be deflnately prescribed by groups, which are divided into the following: the English and Language group, the Natural Science group, the Social Science group, and the Mathematics and Philosophy group. Moreover, sixteen hours of two foreign languag­ es (to be selected by the student) will be required of all graduates, which is equivalent to four years of high school work in each of the two languages or two years devoted to each in the University, or a propor­ tionate division between high school and college. It is probable that the committee, in charge of the revision of under­ graduate work will recommend that at least two, possibly three, degrees be offered, the degree to be determ­ ined by the "group" in which the student carries his major require­ ments. it is believed by many that this restriction on elective courses, to­ gether with a proper co-ordination ot studies as it has been worked out at Harvard and elsewhere, will prove markedly beneficial to students and will, at the same time, give real sig­ nificance to the respective degrees awarded. Along this general change, there is a movement on foot seeking the adoption by the Arts department of some sort of marking system which would enable students to work for honors. The plan suggested employs the letters a, b, c, d, and e, corres­ ponding respectively to 3, 2, 1. 0, and -2 units of credits. Since the requirements for graduation are 120 points or units, a "c-grade" would be necessary to graduation. Any mark .above tbe passing grade would lessen the requirements for gradua­ tion, thus furnishing a real incen­ tive for scholarly work. Under pres­ ent plans no distinction of scholar­ ship grades is made among the stu­ dents who "pass" their courses. NO REASON FOR DOUBT. A Statement of Facts Backed by a Strong Guarantee.

Th IHYm Han Atop fought Bears tbe HOME stated she had all her gems. What do Tho five men on the deck gave those below little time for analysis of their sensations. ’ Gordon and Hicks raced around the wheelhouse to the starboard aide of the craft, and dashed down the companionway from that direction, while Britz, Manning and Fitch hurled themselves Into the port entrance to the cabin, alighting on a richly carpeted floor a dozen feet below the deck. Two shots followed before the police party could seize Prince Kananda and All, who, facing in opposite directions, stood at bay tn tho center of the cabin. Britz and Gordon struck upward the revolvers of the Indians as the triggers were pulled. The bulleta flew high, harm­ ing no one. Behind Kananda and All, using a table as a breastwork, stood two mote Hindoos, both of them strangers to Britz. They were un­ armed save for wicked-looking Malay krises they gripped nervously as they crouched in waiting for an attack. Britz and Manning jammed their pis­ tols into the faces of the men with the krises; but the Indians, undis­ mayed, made savage slashes st them with their razor-edged long knives. Gordon and Fitch sprang upon the kris-bearers, Hicks with a pistol in each band standing off Kananda and Ail. Again and again the Hindoos slashed at their assailants, and that they did- not split at least one head was due to the wary agility of the four who attacked them. Shots from the detectives' revolvers would have brought them down at-such short range, of course; but the policemen seemed bent on capturing them alive, and Filch was not a man to have re­ course to bloodshed until he could be certain it was Inevitable. Britz and Manning waited their chance. After futile swings at tbe Indiana, they closed with them, clubbing their re­ volvers and bringing them down with crashing force on the gaudy turbans of the Orientals. A few seconds of that vicious pounding stunned the Hindoos, and it was then but the work of a moment to slip handcuffs on them. Kananda and All, in tho meanwhile, had made no further- at­ tempts to use their postals. They read death In Hicks’ eyes as he con­ fronted them with his long, blue gleaming barrels aimed .straight at them. Their hesitation was fatal to their hope of escape. For even as All. doubtless at a whisper or signal from the Prince, swung himself about ta interpose himself between Hicks and the petty potentate's son, while Kananda turned for a dash to the deck. Britz. Fitch and Manning, leav­ ing Gordon in charge of the captured Indians, surrounded the other two and disarmed them. Breathing heav­ ily from the short but sharp struggle, the captors marched their prisoners to the far end of ths cabin and seated themselves between the Hindoos and the doors. They ^ere still on tho alert to prevent an attempt to es­ cape on the part of Kananda or Alt The other two Indians being hand­ cuffed. ft was less likely they would make a spurt for liberty, but the po­ liceman took no chances. "Now, Mr. Kananda," said Brits to the Prince cheerily, "I reckon we'll have those diamonds." “Perhaps you will be good enough to explain." parried the Prince with his most blase Cambridge manner. "Explain nothing!" shouted Britz. ’Tro fenced with you fellows long enough. We've caught you now and we want the goods." "Sinoe you are resolved to carry this miserable farce farther," said the Prince, '1 suppose we shall have to submit" “You’ll submit to a search, that’s what you’ll do!" Interrupted Man­ ning. "I don’t blame you, Britz, for losing your temper with this crowd; fresh Is no name for IL" The Chief nodded to Gordon and Hicks; Lid they began a search of tho four prisoners that left nothing undone to find the diamonds. When they had examined every article of the Indians' apparel, from the Orien­ tal costumes of the low-caste Hin­ doos to the conventional attire ot the Prince, they looked to Manning for further Instructions, for they had found nothing. Then all four of the detectives, with the Chief and the doctor, ransacked the cabin, fore and aft and from star­ board to port, as thoroughly as'the Indian burglars had gone through the apartments of Griswold and Sands. They even lifted tbe carpet on all sides, rolled tho heavy furniture about, and prodded every locker. In vain. If the diamonds were on board tho yacht, they were not tn tho saloon. Gordon went to the wheel, while Hicks, who had some knowledge of machinery, watched and regulated tbe feed of the motor. Silently as a giant swan, snd as smoothly, tho yacht threaded the cut to the broader stretch beyond the Spuyten Duy*vT creek and. passing under tho long railroad bridge on which the f -nous little Doily Varden train toddled from bank to bank, swung downstream in the Hudson and headed for the Bat­ tery. The yacht was off Grant’s Tomb before an idea occurred to Fitch, for which Britz not only gave him full credit, but blessed him heartily, “Bee if any one of these men is wounded, lieutenant," Fitch suggested Mrs. Delaroche was brought tn by private of the detective ■ force, snd Britz, with elaborate politeness, bowed her to a chair.

He watched closely the effect of hls words on the high-strung woman facing him, and saw that he had touched a re­ sponsive chord. Her eyes flashed as If her very soul vibrated with jealous rage. Her breath came and went in short gasps. Her fingers twisted and untwisted nervously, and she seemed to be on the point of a-violent revela­ tion when the situation was interrupt­ ed by a knock on the door.

(TO BE CONTINUED.) GOOD NEWS. Many Nashville Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. "Good news travels fast,” and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Nashville are glad to learn that proiupt relief Is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back Is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here Is an example worth reading: Milton Bradley, Gregg St, Nash­ ville, Mich., says: "I have received great benefit from Doan's Kidney Pills. My kidneys troubled me for years, the secretions being highly colored, too frequent in passage and filled with sediment. I suffered in­ tensely from backache and in the morning upon arising my back was lame and weak. Learning of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a supply from Furniss’ drug store and the contents of two boxes Improved my condition In every way. I am now free from backache, rest well and have but little trouble from my kid­ neys.” , For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

HELPFUL HINTSON HAIR HEALTH Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally Caused by Carelessness. Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also pro­ duces baldness. Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else. No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be Infected with microbes, which will Infect your scalp. It is tar easier to catch hair microbes than It Is to get rid ot them, and a single stroke with an in­ fected comb or brush may well lead to baldness. Never try on anybody else's hat. Many a hat-band Is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldness, we have a remedy which we believe will completely relieve these troubles. We are so sure of this that we offer It to you with the understanding that It will coat you nothing for the trial if It does not produce the results we claim. Thia remedy Is called Rexall ”93” Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it to be tbe most scientific remedy for scalp and hair troubles, and we know ot nothing else that equals it for ef­ fectiveness, because of the results It has produced In thousands of cases. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and make the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It docs this because It stimulates the hair follicles, destroys the germ mat­ ter, and brings about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nourishes the hair roots, causing them to tight­ en and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble with hair or scalp to know that we think that Rexall ”93" Hair Tonic Is the best hair tonic and restorative In ex­ istence. and no one should scoff at or doubt this statement until they have put our claims to a fair test, with the understanding that they pay us nothing for the remedy If It does not give full and complete sat­ isfaction in every particular. Two sixes, 50 cents and >1.00. Remem­ ber, you can obtain Rexall Remedlee In Nashville only at our store—The Rexall Store.' VonxW Furniss. The Accompaniment.

Tuesday evening about forty Mas­ ter Masons from this city attended the lodge of instruction at Nashville, called by Grand Lecturer Gilbert, and witnessed the conferring of the third degree upon Frank Sage, a Fellowcraft of Hastings lodge. . At about 6;30 o’clock about 125 of the brethren of Vermontville, Nashville, Hastings and other lodges had assembled In the lodge room and escorted by Nashville’s Worshipful Master, John Lake, were conducted Into the Knights of Pythias lodge room, which adjoins the Masonic lodge room, where tables were heavily laden with provisions, prepar­ ed by the ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star. Words fall to express the satisfaction the boys got out of the supper, but we will say for all of them that it was fine and touched £he spot and was very nicely served. After supper the lodge was called to order and the work put on in a very creditable manner by the offi­ cers of Nashvlle lodge, Worshipful Master Roy Andrews of Hastings lodge being called upon to give the lecture and the Worshipful Master of Vermontville lodge the charge. After the work some of the broth­ ers being more weary than the rest sat down and refreshed themselves again. And by this time they probbly are at home again, or soon here­ after will be, or a searching party will be sent out. If everyone didn't have a good time It is no fault of Nashville lodge or the ladles of the O. E. S.—Hastings Journal Herald. * NASHVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The operation disclosed a serious condition and the physicians were fearful that she would not survive the ordeal, but at last accounts the little one was still alive and doing nicely, and It Is now thought that barring complications she will recover. The next few days will take her through the most cru­ cial period, and everything possible is being done for her, two nurses be­ ing in constant attendance. COLLIDED WITH CAR OF COAL. The evening train from Grand Rap­ ids, due here at 5:49, mixed up with a car of coal on a siding Monday evening and the engine was put out of commission temporarily. The train had started to pull out of Hast­ ings, but a car of coal which a freight had left on a siding was not far enough on the siding to clear, with the result that the passenger engine and the baggage car were “side-wiped” and rather badly used. The disfigured engine was pulled In out of the way by the engine of the fast train which came along c few minutes later, and the two trains were combined for the rest of the run to Jackson, arriving here about eight o’clock.

A certain Nashville couple was in­ vited out to dinner with friends last Sunday, the Invitation coming over the phone. Greatly pleased, they put on their best bib and tucker, and each supplied with a clean ker­ chief started out early so as to be In time. Arrived at their destination, they rang the bell, and as their hos'css came to the door, took off their wraps and went In and made them­ selves at home, awaiting the dinner Hinouncement. As it happens their host has a brother living in the vil­ lage, and it was his wife instead of he brother’s wife, who had invited ■ompany to dinner, and part of her •ompany had arrived and she won­ dered why Mr. and Mrs. E. V. didn’t show up. She was* sure she had seen them coming, but they must have turned off and gone somewhere else, in the meantime, her sister­ in-law, who had not expected compa­ ny for dinner, was wondering what In the dickens she was going to do if the unexpected company remained for dinner, as they evidently intend­ ed to do. Finally, a little son of the real hostess arrived and informed the guests that they had got in the wrong house, which relieved the embarassment of their hostess, but add­ ed somewhat to their own, and they hastily resumed their wraps, made their excuses and withdrew on their way to the homo of the people who really had invited them to dinner. It was sure a funny little mix-up, but It turned out all right In th© end, only it’s too bad that "Fike" found out anything about it. 1912 NUMBER 25 LOCAL NEWS.

In 1904 there were only twentyfour University of Michigan alumni organizations. To-day there are an even hundred, with others still form­ ing.' No other fact is needed to indi­ cate the far-reaching Influence of Michigan's greatest institution. • Flourishing alumni organizations exist, not only in all the largo cities of the United States from a New Eng­ land association in Boston and the large and exceedingly enthusiastic organization in New York City, to San Francisco, Portland, and Los Angeles, but in Porto Rico, the HawiIan Islands, the Philippines, and Ja­ pan. The recent alumni dinner in New York City was the largest event of the kind ever held 'in the United States. There were almost a thou­ sand alumni in attendance, and among them were twenty members of Congress. Within the past year the Universi­ ty has taken steps to effect the organ­ ization of all the counties in the state. Over forty of these local associations have been organized, and in every in­ stance some representative e of the University has met with them at their first meeting, in many cases Presi­ dent Hutchins, himself. There re­ main only twelve counties to be organized. This work will undoubtedly be completed before the end of the present year. These county organizations primarily intended to bring the great body of Michigan’s alumni within the state in closer touch with the University; to let them know what the University Is accomplish­ ing; to ask for their moral support and interest. There are nearly ten thousand graduates within the state of Michigan. -Once definitely or­ ganized, these alumni will exert a powerful influence for good in help­ ing the University to achieve its high­ est efficiency, in serving the state. Within the past two years the Gen­ eral Alumni Association of the Uni­ versity has organized an Alumni Ad­ visory Council, which is made up of members elected by the various local Alumni Assoclaions that have fifty members or more. This council has already expressed Itself as heartily in favor of carrying forward the cam­ paign for fGnds for the erection of the new home tor the Michigan Un­ ion. • An annual athletic tax of five dol­ lars to be added to the regular en­ trance fee, was adopted by the Re­ gents at their meeting last week. This fee will admit all students to ev­ ery game or contest and will be im­ posed upon women as well as the men. Three-fifths of the tax paid by the women will be credited to the improvement fund for Palmer Field, the girls’ out-door play-ground. A permanent fund will be provided for the maintenance of Ferry Field, the men’s athletic grounds. Any stu­ dent who objects to the additional tax may petition the Regents to have the fee abrogated In his own case. Governor Chose S. Osborn will de­ liver the address on the occasion of the Washington birthday celebration. Student Infirmary. . The "Michigan Daily", a student publication, is advocating the estab­ lishment of an infirmary to provide special medical attendance for stu­ dents of the University. While the plan has stimulated much favorable comment relative to the benefits to be derived from such an Institution, there seems to be a general disposiion to doubt the feasibility of impos­ ing upon all students an anual medi­ cal tax In addition to the regular Un­ iversity fees. At present any stu­ dent is treated at the University hos­ pital free of charge. Of course he must pay for his room and board. It frequently happens, however, that the hospitals are crowded with out of town patients, so that inconveniences are sometimes experienced by the stu­ dent patient. Moro than that, the feeling that he is a ward of the state. In a sense a dependent, while under medical treatment at the hospital, often makes a student somewhat hes­ itant in seeking the medical advice that may be bis for the asking. A student infirmary, supported by a student tax, would remove this ob­ jection, for every student would feel that he was justly entitled to the health Insurance to which he had con­ tributed his share of support. Plans for the celebration next June of the seventy-fifth annive-sary of the founding of the University have been adopted by the Board of Regents. The universities of this country of approved standing, will be invited to send official representatives. Though the ceremonies will extend through­ out commencement week, the princi­ pal event* will occur on Wednesday, Commencement day. At nine o'clock the invited guests, the official dele­ gates and the Michigan Faculty will form a procession and march to Uni­ versity Hall, where an address will be delivered. Following this ad­ dress, President Hutchins will give a reception and luncheon in honor of the Invited guests. Governor Os­ born, the Regents, and the adminis­ trative officers of the University will be In the receiving line with the President. The afternoon will be de­ voted to alumni reunions, automo­ bile drives, sports and the march in costume. After the parade a Mich­ igan Union Opera will be presented under the Campus trees. Class dinners, the evening promenade, an open-air concert, followed by the an­ nual Senate reception in Memorial Hall, will complete the day’s pro­ gram. On February 22 the Medle.1 Col­ lege will commemorate the found­ ing of the department in 1850. Dr. Lewis S. Pilcher, '66 M. D., LL. D., 1900, of Brooklyn, will deliver an ad­ dress on "Antitoxin for Medical Com­ mercialism.” Dr. PHsher if Uw ed­ itor of the "Annals of Surgery." one of the leading medical journal^of thii Professor W.

Bera, the Sunfield postmaster and merchant, hgs been sued for 15,000 by Mathias Strauss, of Battle Creek, who alleges that he was knock­ ed down and badly Injured by Mr. Bera's automobile last summer. The postmaster's son was driving the car at the time. Nashville has been very fortunate this winter in not having a coal fam­ ine, such as many neighboring towns are experiencing. There has been a shortage here In some kinds, but no one has to 'suffer from the cold, and there-is more coal coming from day to day so that we need have no feir, unless something entirely unexpect­ ed happens. Barry county will be well repre­ sented at the Lincoln club banquet at Grand Rapids next Monday night. Hostings -republicans have arranged for 59 tickets. Nine Nashville peo­ ple already have their tickets, and quite a number from Middleville and other points about the country will attend, probably enough to bring the number up to 100 from this county. Don't be a knocker. Hide your little hammer and try to speak well of others no matter how small you may really know yourself to be. When a stranger drops In, jolly him. Tell him this-is the greatest town on earths— and it is. Don't discourage him by speaking 111 of your neigh­ bors. There’s no end of fun mind­ ing your own business, it makes other people like you. Nobody gefs stuck on a knocker. Lowell people have figured out a cheap way to pave their'main street, They propose to issue bonds, the first oY which will not be due for20 years. Thus another generation will be pay­ ing for the improvements which thia generation will enjoy. It isn’t a bad idea, after all, as the present genera­ tion is building up a town for others to enjoy 20 years from now. It Is all right for those' who come later to pay for part of the Improvements A meeting of the new Nashville Athletic club was' held Monday eve­ ning at the rooms in the McWha building, and the new constitution and by-laws read and adopted. Thom­ as Copeland was elected the third member of the board of. trustees, and a committee was appointed to look up the matter of securing a wrestling mat. Jack Downing, C. E. Gutch'ess and Otis Gokay were ap­ pointed members of the finance com­ mittee. Many people do such a crazy thing as pour kerosene on live coals that are not ablaze, to start a fire. These hot coals at once form a gas that ris­ es very rapidly and when very much has formed will explode. Here is where all the fault lies: When want­ ing to kindle a fire, should the stove be hot or contain live coals, light a paper and place in the stove before pouring the'oil. thus the flames will burn the gas as fast as it rises and avoid an explosion. A Pewamo man took his sweetheart to a dance and noticed what appear­ ed to be a raveling sticking out of her sleeve. He pulled on It and as it kept coming he wound It,up into a small ball, the lady not noticing the operation. She surprised her mother next morning with the remark that something awfully funny happened to her last evening. She was sure she wore her union suit to the ball and when she got home she found It had disappeared—Portland Re­ view. Wm. Coulter, of Belding, saw an adv. in a poultry paper concerning blooded eggs and sent to Battle Creek for some. Incidentally the name of the man whom he addressed was Coulter and Wm. added to his order the postscript: "Didn't know there was another Coulter In Michi­ gan but me.” The correspondence which followed showed that the men were brothers. They had not seen each other In 25 years, but they got together In Belding and had a fine talkfest. Clare Pennock, aged 17. son of Ernest Pennock, was arrested Tues­ day evening on a statutory charge, on complaint of Supervisor E. V. Smith. Officer F. J. Whitq made the arrest and the young man was placed in the village jail over night In default of bail In the sum of 13,000. Yester­ day .morning he waived examination before Justice Kidder and was re­ manded to the county jail to await trial In circuit court. The case is a particularly atrocious one, about which the less said the better. ‘ As will be seen in an article In an­ other column, Hon. P. T. Colgrove, president of the Michigan State Good Roads association, offers prizes amounting to >30 In gold to the stu­ dents of Barry county schools for the best article written by them on “The Value of Good Roads." We hope the boys and girls of this vicinity will read the article and get busy, for we should like to see at least one of those prizes come thia way.

' Dr. Robert Bell of Portland, who was arrested some time ago on a charge of violation of the local option law in selling liquor to his 'patients, bad his trial in circuit court last week and was convicted. The case will go to the supreme court, which was expected from the first, as Dr. Bell wanted to make £ test case of it. It was shown at the trial that the Portland drug stores did not sell liquor, even on a physician's pre­ scription, and the doctor contended that under the law he had a right to supply his patients with what liquor he considered necessary.

Second prize—Five dollars in gold. Tbe merit of these papers will be based upon composition, English and penmanship. Papers to contain not less than two hundred words. All papers lb be handed In not later than March 1st. I have appointed a committee, con­ sisting of Ernest Edger, County School Commissioner, John C. Ket­ cham and Richard Bates, to pass up­ on the merits of-these papers. Each principal in the schools will be notified at once of the committee's report, which will be in writing and signed by every member of the Com­ mittee. The district schools will have a flrat and second prize, and the vil­ lage and city schools above the eighth grade will also have a first and sec­ ond prize. Each contestant will be required to use what is known as "legal cap” paper, write on one side of sheet and with black Ink. As soon as your pa­ pers are prepared, mail them to me with a certificate of your teacher, stating what school you are a stu­ dent tn, also your grade and age. It is my earnest hope that every boy and girl attending the schools of Barry coynty-wlll try to win a prize. Good Roads appeal to us all because they are civilizers and educators, binding us together in industry, Intel­ ligence and patriotism. No monu­ ment is more enduring than a good highway, and no community can be better advertised than by saying,"We stand for good roads.” I want the boys and girls of Barry county and of Michigan with me in this great work. Don't be afraid, do your level best and your reward will be certain. The County System Is just now a live wire and I hope will be consider­ ed—not necessarily, as the subject will................................ be the "Value of Good’ ~ Roads””.

Number of men Inspected. 1015; number of ‘men without underclothing, 374;. without shoes, 386; without blankets, 65; without overcoats, 4gl; without tents, 281; without socks, 675; without pants, 295; without coats, 186. 1 myself had no overcoat or socks: It should be remembered, too. that ail other comforts and ne­ cessities were equally short, and that the cavalry, compelled to be at the extreme front, was In even a more deplorable condition. One reason why we were in such a des­ titute condition was that John Mor­ gan bad cut off our supply train. All that we had was what the mules carried, and that cut us down to quarter rations. General Long­ street on one side and Morgan on the other held all Eastern Tennessee practically in a state of seige. Not one soldier in a thousand thought of a pension as a reward for his ser­ vices. I for one did not, and I never got any money from the state or county toy. going. The pension is justly a payment due the old soldiers, for services rendered their country. The brigade above mentioned had gallantly borne Its colors In the Army of the Potomac, before Vicks burg. In the Mississippi campaign, East Tennessee campaign, then re­ turned to the Potomac. The writer was with this command from August, '62 until the close of the war. No one knows how these men suffered except those who were there, especially in Mississippi, on account of hot weath­ er and bad water; in east Tennessee nothing to eat except corn in the eat and coffee and sometimes a little "sowbelly". We were in that condi­ tion from September until March, but during the last four months the suf­ fering was the’ worst, as we were very short of clothing. The third divi­ sion was commanded by Gen. O. B Wilcox, the 9th corps by General Burnside. We are getting old and gray, boys, But If our country needed men, We’d sign the roll "age 21” And serve the flag again. . George J. Long, Co.

It Is located on section 35, Hastings township, first farm west of Scott McIntosh’s place, and just west of Bachellor's corners, on main road, * 4 H miles east ± of Hastlugs, Falrly good buildings and very pleasantly located. Part of Iles_____ level,_______ balance______ rolling. farm__ _ _It raises good crops and Is worth a lot more money. The owner has put the price down to $3,200 and has asked us to make an effort to sell It by April 1. If you want a farm in this locality and are ready to buy, we would like to have you see this. We have seen the farm at different times during the past year and we know there were good crops on it. We were surprised to get the letter from the owner allowing us to sell it at this very low price, but we think he must have got tired of Michigan win­ ters and wants to go south. The man who buys this farm and fixes things up a little can pretty nearly double his money in a couple of years. Nashville Real Estate Ex­ change. NORTH KALAMO GRANGE.

Furniss Interest in the coming banquet which the Barry County Republian Club Intends to hold on March 15, is beginning to be aroused in earnest, and many are looking forward with eager anticipation. It Is planned to’ make this the big political event of the pre-campaign season, and accord­ ing to indications there will be no disappointment if plans are carried out as Intended. Since announcement of the date set at the recent meeting, the committees tor the banquet have been appointed, and all will begin work at once. The first banquet of the club was held two years ago, and it was one of the most successfulevents of the kind ever held In th,Is county. Governor Osborn, Amos Musselman, Patrick Kelley. W. W. Wedeineyer and others were here to speak. This banquet did a great deal to awaken party spirit, and to concentrate effort In electing nearly the whole ticket. That the club stands tor the best In politics is shown by the following resolution adopted at its organiza­ tion: "The objects of this club shall be to advocate, maintain and promote the principals of republicanism, to di­ rect and Interest in politics those who have hitherto been more or less in­ different to tbelr polictical duties; to encourage attendance at primary meetings in order that honest and capable men may be nominated and elected; to guard and defend the pur­ ity of the election laws; work In har­ mony with and to carry out the plan of permanent club organization, and to perform such other work as may­ best conserve the interests of the par­ ty. national, state and local, there­ by exerting the most potent influence for good government."

ODD FELLOWS ENTERTAIN. Great Gathering of Three-Linkers from Neighboring Towns Feast and Make Merry. One of the best times in the history of Nashville lodge, No. 36, I. O. Q. F., was the verdict of all who were pres­ ent at the big meeting held by that body Thursday evening. Nashville lodge had-invited their f raters from Charlotte. Vermontville and Hast­ ings to be their guests on that oc­ casion, and Charlotte lodge was in­ vited to confer the third on a class of novices. The incoming trains from east and west that evening were met by reception committees, accompa­ nied by the Nashville band, and the guests were escorted to the Nashville Club, which was turned over to the Odd Fellows for the evening. The banquet, which was prepared by the Odd Fellows themselves, was served at 6:30, and more than 180 of the three-linked brethren sat down to a most delectable feast. There were forty present from Charlotte, 25 from Vermontville and thirty from Hastings. In addition to the members of Nashville lodge, and a Jolly bunch it was which devoured the sumptu­ ous array of edibles, while the band discoursed sweet music. After the spread, the guests were invited into the club parlors, where they enjoyed themselves at billiards and cards until the tables were clear­ ed and removed from the Auditori­ um. which was then transformed in­ to a lodge room and the third de­ gree was conferred by the team from Charlotte lodge. The work of the visitors was impressive to a marked degree and was highly praised by all present. After the work, the guests listened to remarks for the good of the order from many of the visiting brothers, the talk given by attorney Ross L. Sowers of Charlotte being particularly fine. The festivities lasted until the train at 12:36, when the Charlotte brethren were escorted to the train, while a number of the local members stuck with the Hastings delegation until the five o’clock train in the morning, making a night of it in earnest. Nashville lodge now has upwards of 140 members, and its growth this winter is highly satisfactory. A THRILLING EXHIBITION. Nashville people experienced a thrill yesterday morning that was all the more thrilling because so entire­ ly unexpected. No one who knows him would suppose that O. M. Mc­ Laughlin.ordinarily staid and sedate, would become a driver of fast horses or anything of that sort, but it seems lately to be the unexpected that hap­ pens. Perhaps it’s the weather that’s to blame. Anyway, about nine o’clock the people along Main street were astonished by the sight of a tall man with flowing robes, a jocky cap and a grim air of determination, driving a flying team of horses up ffom the south, the driver standing up in the sleigh and hanging on to the reins like a modern Ben Hur. Many thronged out Into the Streets, thinking it was a runaway coming, but they waved their hands and hats In vain, for the flying chargers neither slakened speeed nor waver­ ed, but with ever-accelerating speed fled onward, their heroic driver skillfully guiding them past every obstruction. They turned east on Washington street and swept around the corner of Queen street and home to their Arabian tents in swell form, with flashing eye and an air of unconquered determination. "Mac" was said to have been so exhausted by his magnificent drive that he was obliged to lean against the stable for support while willing hands released the chargers and cared for them, but a short rest sufficed to restore the victorious driver to his usual equilib­ rium. Some of his enemies are try­ ing to have Judge Wellman issue a warrant for "Mac" for violation of the ordinance against fast driving, but the Judge is a friend of the long fellow and the matter will probably be dropped. KNIGHTS WILL HAVE BANQUET. Their recent attendance contest having closed, with Captain Town­ send’s aide an easy winner, Nashville Knights of Pythias will enjoy a ban­ quet on Monday evening, February 26. The Knights rarely do things by halves, so they will invite their ladies to enjoy the occasion with them, and they expect to have one of the most Enjoyable times of their lives. Ivy lodge has about 140 mem­ bers, many of whom, however, live away from the old home, but it is likely that there will be in the neigh­ borhood of 150 to 175 to enjoy the banquet and the social evening which will follow.

Many Nashville Citizens Have Dis­ covered it. Just what to do when the kidneys are affected, is a question that con­ cerns both young and old. Weak kidneys neglected in childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of ad ▼anced years, with less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth or age, languor, backache, urinary irregularity, dizzi­ ness and nervousness make life a burden. There is one remedy that acts di­ rectly on the kidneys. Doan’s Kid­ neys Pills owe their world-wide fame to the fact that they have cured thou­ sands of cases of sick kidneys and cured them permanently. Follow the example of this Nashville citizen. John Means. Phillips St., Nash­ ville, Mich., says: "My back trou­ bled me so badly that I was unable to work for several weeks. I suffered from severe pains across my kidneys and my back was extremely lame. I doctored and took a number of reme­ dies, but was no relieved until I used I an’s Kidney Pills, prolured from Furniss* drug store. You are wel­ come to use my name as a reference for the merit of Doans Kidney Pills." For sale by all dealers. Price, SO cents. Foster-Milburn Co..

HAIR HEALTH. If You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble, Accept This Offer. When we promise your money back for the mere asking if Rexall "93'' Hair Tonic does not do as we claim it will, you certainly have no rea­ son for- even hesitating to try it. We do not ask you to obligate your­ self in any way. We could not afford to so strongly endorse Rexall "93” Hair Ttnic and continue to sell it as we do, if It did not do all we claim.

We honestly believe that Rexall “93” Hair Tonic will do more than any other human agency toward re­ storing hair growth and hair health.

If you are con­ templating making a change that you realize will be of practical financial bene­ fit to you, why do you delay? Many men who are poor today might have been well off but for T delay. Their worst fault was indecision. It took them so long to make up their minds and screw up their courage that before they got around to do something the opportunity was gone. The men who win are the men of decision and of action. When they see a thing they know they ought to do, they do it We want you to ask yourself, squarely, fairly, candidly, if your opportunity is not here. We know there are some rare bar­ gains shown in our list this week. You will know it too, if you look it over carefully. Some of them wont stay in the list long. The time to act is now. FIKE’S FARMS.

DEMANDS A FEDERAL PROBE "Villainy Muit Be Unearthed," Texaa Representative Insists, "Before Congress Accepts the Aldrich Cur­ rency Plan.” Washington, Feb. 19.—Representa­ tive Henry of Texas, chairman of-the house rules committee, made a sensa­ tional speech in the house in which he attacked the money power in Wall street and demanded an Inquiry Into "the black hand methods of the finan­ cial mafia in this country." He coun­ seled a thoroughgoing investigation before congress accepted tbe Aldrich plan of currency reform. ' Chairman Henry was the author of a money trust investigation resolution, which was beaten in caucus by Demo­ cratic Leader Underwood and Speaker Clark. A substitute, by Chairman Pujo of the house banking and curren­ cy tommlttee, which was opposed by the Bryan Democrats, Chairman Hen­ ry and William J. Bryan himself, was agreed upon. Henry’s Speech Bitter. Some portions of Mr. Henry's speech were very spirited—almost bit­ ter. "Is it not time,” asked Mr. Henry, "to inquire into those black hand meth­ ods of the financial Mafia which exist in this country?" He attacked the alleged money mon­ opoly In Wall street and assumed that "no effective Investigation can be made into the ramifications of either Quality Store RUST PROOF CORSETS Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription EMBROIDERY WASH SILK Economy always has full sway at our store.

"Shouldn't we know something of the depth of villainy to which this financial mafia will descend," Mr. Hen­ ry continued, “before we rewrite our currency laws?

WOMEN’S PHYSICAL CULTURE "Sweet feminlnil ddered Incompatible with vigor of mind and benith of body. Time wan when feminine attractiveness was popnlsrly associated with languid imaslvIty and clinging dejK-ndence, but all that nonsense has been stamped out by the coeducational movement in our higher institutions of learning. Girl* the world over are being taught that a woman's -UHpfulneHH to society, her en joyment of life and the charm of her personality are measured by the com pletencss with which her mental and physical powers have been developed Especially la this true at a great co educational institution like the Univer alty of Michigan, where girls are given an equal change with men to make the most of their possibilities. In scholarship the women easily hold their own with the men. This is well known to the general public. But wliai Is less generally known is that a splen­ did senice Is being rendered by the university In the physical training of women. Under the efficient direction of Miss Catharine L. Bigelow and her two assistants. Miss Evelyn T. Derry and Mrs. Minnie George, together with the co-operation of medical specialists In tbe university hospitals, this work has gone steadily forward in the inter est of good health. Upon entering the university each student.is given a thorough physical examination. This examination, the result of which is carefully tabulated Includes heart and lung tests, resist ance strength, body measurements, etc If it Is found that her physical condl tlon is average normal the student b then assigned to regular class work Id the gymnasium. If her health is belov, the average normal condition—that 1s. if her heart action Is not quite perfect or her lungs are weak—she is assigned to a class specially adapted to her needs. Should it happen, as Is fre quently the case, that a student has a curved spine or a narrow chest or round shoulders or is-otherwise defertlve in posture, she is given corrective exercises under tbe careful supervision of one of the directors. Every girl at Michigan Li required to take a certain amount of gymnasium work, the minimum being three period-* a week for one year. Most girls, real izlng the importance of systematlc pbysical exercise, continue the gymna slum work during all four years of their college course. There can be. no doubt that a great many girls are saved from nervous breakdown and other serious illness by tbe attention thus devoted tojhe care of the body. The Gymnasium. The equipment in Barbour gymna­ sium Is as complete as could be desired. Tbe gymnasium proper Is a light, airy room 80 by IX) feet in size. It is well supplied with climbing ropes, Swedish booms and stall bars, ladders, travel­ ing rings, horse vaulting box, stand ards for jumping, hand apparatus clubs, dumbbells, foils and a running track. The large basement contains 400 lockers, 30 dressing rooms, 14 ■bower baths and a while tiled swim mlng tank 20 by 30 feet. Then there is the large swimming tank, where tbe girls learn all sorts of fancy strokes and Incidentally acquire a most valuable accomplishment A fencing class is a very recent in­ novation, but it is growing rapidly in popularity. It is under the direction of a past master In the art of fencing. 1 Basketball. The chief Indoor game is basketball. The interclass contests, which stimu­ late a healthy class spirit among the girls, and the rigorous training rules, to­ gether with tbe opportunity of a wide acquaintanceship, make this sport at once highly popular and extremely beneficial. Certain requirements must be fulfilled, however, before any girl is eligible for a place on her class team. First she must be physically able to play.

Analyses of State Waters Used For Drinking Purposes—Experiments In immunization—Wide Range of Cases Treated in the University Hospital. Nearly Six Thousand Every Year. HE greatest service thot the medical department of the Uni verslty of Michigan is render­ ing not only to the people of this state, but to tbe nation os a whole, consists In properly educating its stu dents. Every skillful physician whi. does his full duty in caring for his pa­ tient renders an even greater servlet to the public. Medicine bus always* been a social service. No doctor taker care of any infectious disease without rendering a service to the public. Ht does the best he can for a patient, and he depends upon tbe patient for bis pe cunlary reward, but at the same time b large part of bls service consists lr preventing the spread , of tbe infection to others. Even medical discoveries In matters of pure science ultimately an used for the public good. The medlca. department of tbe University of Michl gan, being a state institution, has en deavored to serve the people of tin state. It is the purpose of this com munication to point out some of tb( most notable ways in which this serv ice has been rendered. In the sixties of tbe lust century Dr. Green, then professor of surgery in tbe University of Michigan, was tbe first man to operate "upon a human being for goiter.. This oitcration was con­ ducted in tbe upper amphitheater of the old medical building. Tbe opera­ tion did not at that time meet with tbe approval of the most eminent sur­ geons. It is re|»orted that Dr. Gross of Philadelphia, thje most renowned sur­ geon in the United States st that time, after listening to Dr. Green’s report of his operation criticised it by saying. "You may call that surgery, but I call it butchery.” Butchery or not, tbe pa­ tient recovered. The fact that a dis­ eased thyroid gland could be removed with safety was demonstrated, and now in every large hospital in tbe civilized world goiters .are removed, greatly to the benefit of tbe patient. In the early eighties Dr. Henry Bew­ ail, then professor of physiology In tbe University of Michigan, immunized pigeons to tbe venom of the rattle­ snake. There could scarcely have been any subject with apparently less prac­ tical Importance than this at that time What possible good could come from immunizing pigeons with the venom of the rattlesnake? But great good has come from It. Thia was the first dem onstratlon that an animal could be Im­ munized to a venom, and from these experiments has come the discovery of diphtheria antitoxin and other anti­ toxins. / A few years ago a company of three distinguished French scien­ tists came to Ann Arbor, making in­ quiry as to where Sewall had made these experiments. They had made this pilgrimage, they said, largely to see the place where these fundamental investigations had been carried out. Now. bv the discovery of diphtheria antitoxin, founded upon these early ex­ periments by Sewall. the death rate in diphtheria has been reduced from 8o per cent or more to nearly zero when the antitoxin is used within twentyfour hours after the appearance of the disease. No one could hare predicted at that time that matters of such great and vital Importance would grow out of tbe discovery made without any spe­ cial reference to its application. Tbe story is told that some one once asked Benjamin Franklin what was tbe uae of a scientific discovery, and he re plied: “Whit is tbe use of a baby) It is likely to grow into something.” This certainly is true of tbe experiments made by Henry Bewail In the early eighties In the old medical building at Anu Arbor. About the same time that Sewall was at work, fooling away his time, as some said, on snake venom, others In the medical department were studying tbe formation of poisons in cheese, milk, lee cream and other milk prod­ ucts. As a result of tbeae studies It was first shown that bacteria may and do generate ixflsons when allowed to develop in milk. It has since been found that summer diarrhea, cholera' Infantum and kiudred diseases are due to milk poison. it had long been known that infantile mortality was higher in tbe summer months than at any other time of the year. In June the mortality begins to increase, and'it rises with tbe thermometer, becoming higher and higher In July and August, and as the mercury falls tbe mortality among children falls. The cause for this seasonal influence upon infantile mortality had been sought for in vari­ ous directions. Some doctors believed that it was due to the south wind, others that It came with the north wind and still others that it was borne in from the east or the west. Physi­ cians dug for the cause in the earth, and they even looked tor it in tbe sun spots, but now It has been demonstrat­ ed that tbe high infantile mortality In the hot months of the year is due to pulsuDous milk. Bacteria grow in T milk, and they can only grow an* om- ‘ tlp’y when the trmfwrature lx high. j In growing they elaborate cbemkai -] poisons, and these poisons kill t ■ child. 'Them.* studies led to the sterilization of milk and. what is of more Uujwr-' tance. led people nil over tbe world to ’ give greater attention to. cleanllnesa In providing milk. It la quite Ibijm-hsIhie to estimate the great life saving factor in these discoveries. Of course no one wllF claim that these studies । were completed in the medical depart- . ment of the University of Michigan, but it Is perfectly within the bounds of truth to mate that the demonstra­ tion of [xiisuus Id milk, cheese and other milk rpodneta made at Ann Ar­ bor In the early eighties of the last century did much to establish tbe fact that the high Infantile mortality of the summer months is due to jwlsonous milk. Within- more recent years certain studies by Dr. Navy have contributed much to medical science. While the Infectious diseases in temperate cli­ mates are largely due to bacterial In­ fection. those In the tropics are prin­ cipally caused by protozoal parasites. This Is true of malaria, sleeping sick­ ness. yellow fever. Delhi bolls and other tropical diseases. Dr. Novy was the first to succeed In growing any of these protozoa In artificial .culture media, and now they are grown in all the protozoal laboratories In the world. This gives an opportunity for studying the^e protozoa which could have been secured in no other way­ In 1888 the hygienic laboratory of th< University of Michigan began to makt sanitary anlyses of drinking water fot health officers and others. This ha? been continued up to the present time and now there is on file in this laboni tory a complete record of more that LOGO such analyses. When typhoid fever appears In any locality in th( state all the possible water sources ol this infection are investigated. Sam pies are sent to the hygienic laboratory and within two or three days nt most the analyst is able to tell whether ol not any of tbe samples may cause dis ease and which one carries the infec­ tion. The largest service, however, that the medical department of the Uni varsity of Michigan renders to the state is accomplished in its hospital From small beginnings the hospital has grown until now tbe university hospital alone provides 280 beds, or. with the psychopathic wanl. 322 beds This does not include tbe hoineoimthi* hospital, which provides sixty addition­ al beds. The university hospital is one of the wisest charitable institutions which tbe state has provided for its citizens. It is charitable in this waythat it is not tbe purpose of the hospl tai to serve those who are able to pay for medical treatment. At present ad mission to the hospital Is limited to tbe following classes: (1) Students who are in actual attendance at the uni­ versity: <2» those whose admission is provided for by statue; (3> those who are sent or brought to the hospital by any legally qualified physician; (4) all not Included in any of the above class­ es must make affidavit that they are not able to pay the ordinary fees charged by physicians. Any student in t^e university, rich or poor, if his physician thinks better service can Im* rendered him. may be carried to the hospital. When b** reaches the hospital remuneration for the physician stops. Tbe sick man is cared for, medically or surgically, free of charge. Of course he pays for hl« room and ooard. The statutes provide for state imtients and for county pa­ tients. The inmates of the various state institutions, if the institutional physician thinks they may be benefit ed thereby, may be sent to the hospl tai for treatment. There are always in the university hospital a number of children from the school at Coldwater and from other state institutions. The suinrrintendent of the poor hi any -county has the right by law to send any sick Individual to tbe hos­ pital at county expense. Lust year there were patients from every county tn the xtate. and the number coming under this brad Is considerable. The superintendents of the poor of the counties recently had a m»*etlng tn Ann Arbor, visited the hospital and by resolution decided to aid the boa pltal in securing larger aecommoda tions. The majority of the patients filling University hospital are people of very moderate means, who are sent -to the hospital ’ by their physicians. Some of them need 'operations, which conid not be performed at their homes with out great danger to the life of the pa tlent Tbe local physician Is glad to bring or send such patients to Univer­ sity hospital. The total number of patients in University hospital annual­ ly now runs up to nearly 0,000. These people come to tbe hospital Incapaci­ tated. and a large number- of them return to their homes able to do more or less work. But in all cases, ex­ cept severe and fatal diseases, the ef­ ficiency of tbe individual Is raised, and the state profits thereby. Medicine Is to become more' and more of a social service. The time will come when no sickness and no deformity that science can remedy will be allowed ’to go without help. The profession of medicine must take Into consideration the conditions un­ der which individuals live. It is use less to prescribe a digestive tonic for n man who cannot get enough to eat It Is useless to give medicines to -a tubercular patient whose home sur­ roundings are insanitary. The world needs scientifically educated physi­ cians. and with the help that social workers may render them much will be done to lessen sickness and prolong life. It Is in the forefront of this great forward movement that the uni­ realty has taken its place.

An Eaton Rapids dispatch says the committee appointed by the local fruit growers* association to ex­ amine the orchards in this section of the state, finds, after an investigation of two weeks, during which many or­ chards In Eaton, Ingham, Jackson, Clinton and Barry counties have been visited, that the peach buds have been almost completely destroyed by the extreme cold weather. Plums and all rarities of small fruits have shared practically the same fate. The apple orchards visited, showed that only small damage has been done to buds of most rarities, but some of the less hardy ones have suffered to a considerable extent.

After a fight which lasted seven years and cost mim approximately a million dollars, C. W. Post of Bat­ tle, Michigan, issued, February 1, his final announcement on labor topics. He considered that his views have been vindicated by the McNamara confessions, the Indictment of many labor leaders and advisers and the revulsion of public sentiment on labor Issues. Post began his spectacular fight on militant labor unions seven years ago when a boycott was declared against his food product because he bought advertising space in Los Angeles newspapers operated under the "open shop" rule. During the seven years he has issued thirty-one paid announcements through the principal newspapers of the United States al an approximate cost of $350,000. His contributions to the Citizens' Industrial Association and The National Trades and Workers' Association, both opposing militant union methods, have approximated $150,000. He has given a building valued al $450,000 as a home for the decrepit and Indigent members of the National Trades and Workers' Association. Incidental expenses in connection with his tight easily exceed $50,000. THE WAY 14689604 IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH.

Reports from the Island Indicate that the unrest temporarily quieted by Sec­ retary Knox's recent note of warning is about to break out anew as a re­ sult of the Cuban supreme court decis­ ion invalidating the law ousting office­ holders who were Spanish sympathis­ ers during the revolution. " Literal execution of the court's de­ cree would involve the reinstatement of a large number of displaced office­ holders and dismissal of the so-called veterans who were put In their places. With this In prospect, the leaders of the veteran association are said to. bo in an ugly humor, and If they, should attempt to resist the decree se­ rious trouble would ensue. The veterans, who are both numer­ ous and powerful, abated their de­ mands for complete expulsion from government positions of all Spanish sympathizers only under pressure of the implied threat of American Inter­ vention contained in Secretary Knox’s note, Informing the Gomez administra­ tion that the United States would in­ sist on the maintenance of a republic­ an government In Cuba. Developments are being awaited with keen interest In official circles here. It Is believed the situation will tax the resources of President Gomes to the utmost - MINE CONFERENCE IS BEGUN Workers and Operators of the An­ thracite Region Are Discussing Demands of the Former. New York, Feb. 27.—The first con­ ference of committees representing the mine workers and operators of the- anthracite regions began here to­ day, opening the discussion of the de­ mands of the mine workers which were adopted at the national conven­ tion of the United Mine Workers at Indianapolis lust month. The old contract between miners and operators, fixing (he existing wage scale, length of work day and other working conditions, will expire on March 31, and If today’s confer­ ence does not result in the framing of a new contract satisfactory to both sides, there Is a strong probability that April 1 will see this country plunged into the worst coal strike It has experienced in years. The strike would Involve no fewer than 180.UU0 mine workers, the loss of something like IIO.OOU.OUO a month in wages to the coal districts affected, and would throw out of work thousands of rail­ road men who are now employed in the freightage of coal. In the demands over which the miners and operators are now con­ ferring. the miners ask that the con­ ditions in the new contract allow for a 20 per cent Increase In wages, an eight-hour work day and recognition of the union. The miners also ask the coal companies to collect the union dues of the mine workers, that the conciliation board be abolished, that payment for mined coal be made on a weight basis Instead of by the carload, and that the contract go into effect April 1, 1912, and expire March 31, 1913.

Furniss The republican caucus was held at the Auditorium Monday evening and was largely attended, upwards of ninety votes being cast on several ballots. Von W. Furniss was elected chair­ man of the caucus and E. B. Town­ send secretary. C. H. Tuttle and J. F. Wolcott were appointed tellers, and the officers were sworn in by C. A. Hough. The following is the ticket nomi­ nated: President—Von W. Furniss. Clerk—E. L. Schantz. Treasurer—H. H. Bennett. Assessor—E. V. Smith. Trustees—F. C. Lentz, R. C. Town­ send, Fred Brumm. The only contests were for clerk and the last trustee. For clerk. Kent Nelson had 37 votes to 44 far Mr. Schantz. For the position of third trustee, the first ballot stood F. K Bullis 17, G. W. Gribbln 33, Fred Brumm 34, Mr. Bullis, whose place was being filled, had said that he didn't want to be. returned. The final bal­ lot stood Bullis 7, Gribbln 35, Brumm 46. The village committee, consisting of Von W. Furniss. E. B. Townsend and Dr. F. F. Shilling, was retained for another year. REPUBLICAN CLUB BANQUET. Tickets are now on sale for the coming banquet of the Barry County Republican club, and are being taken with an avidity which Indicates that they will be in demand before the date of the banquet, which is March 15. F. K. Bullis, Von W. Furniss, E. V. Smith, R. C. Townsend and Len W. Feighner have the tickets on sale in Nashville, and they are meet­ ing with good success, while in Hast­ ings and other places around the county the sale Is going splendidly. The banquet Is to be held in the basement of the new Methodist church at Hastings, and it is an Ideal place for it, the room being large enough to seat from 4 50 to 500, with kitchen and serving rooms handy by and everything In good shape for checking wraps, etc. The music committee has Its work well looked after, and the committee on speakers pledges that the orator­ ical part of the program will be ful­ ly up to the high standard set by former banquets given by the club. Those from this part of the coun­ ty will be able to go on the 3.51 train and can get home at midnight, w’hlch makes it very convenient. It Is hoped that at least a hundred from Nashville and vicinity will be in at­ tendance. MIX-UP ON LECTURE DATE. An aggravating mistake occurred in the date of the last entertainment on the course, which was billed for last Saturday night instead of last night. The original date for Miss Randle's appearance was set for March 2, and it was put down in the book that way. A few days later a change in the date was received, but the fellow whose business it was to look after those matters simply neglected to make the change of date in his book and consequently the ad­ vertising was put out for the 2nd in­ stead of the 6th. The audience was greatly disappointed, of course, and so were the members of ttib commit­ tee, and it was not until Sunday morning that the trouble was located. The athletic club, which had an en­ tertainment advertised for the 6th, very kindly changed their date to a week later, to allow the entertainment course the use of the opera house for last night, and the mix-up was finally straightened up. The fel­ low who was responsible for the mixup hopes to he forgiven for It, for as a newspaper man be has enough oth­ er sins to answer for, without having this added to the rest in the final accounting. ed for seeing that the township should maintain the highways leading into and through the village, in accord­ ance with a law which has been on the statute books for many years, thus saving the village a great deal of money which it has been accus­ tomed to paying for many years past, but. which it will never pay again aa long as the present law remains on the books. Thus we get some­ thing bacX for the thousand or >1500 which we of the village pay into the township highway fund every year. I, for one, think the present ad­ ministration has been a very satis­ factory and economical one, and I can see no reason for a demand for a change at the present time. Taxpayer. WRESTLING EVENT POSTPONED. The athletic entertainment ad­ vertised by the Nashville Athletic club to take place at the opera house last night has been postponed -one week, the club very graciously con­ senting to the postponement on ac­ count of the mix-up In dates on the lecture course. The athletic enter­ tainment promises to be highly in­ teresting, Introducing a number of wrestlers who have not heretofore made a public appearance, and some of the contests are sure to be very in­ teresting. The fact that a time limit of 30 minutes has been set on the wrestling bouts will Insure fast work in all of them, with no "stall­ ing," and the sparring contest be­ tween Seth Graham-and Emmet Gib­ son will be well . worth seeing, foi both of the boys are said to be very fast for amateurs. Turn out and patronize the boys. You will not on­ ly be well repaid for your time and money, but it will help to encourage ’.he boys In- furnishing and main­ taining their gymnasium and club rooms. MRS. FRINK PASSES AWAY. Mrs. Della Frink, who has for many years been a loved and respected res­ ident of Nashville, passed away at her home ou the south side Friday eve­ ning at seven o'clock, at the age of nearly 85 years. She had been an Invalid for a number of years, dur­ ing all of which she had the tender care of her daughter, Mrs. L. 0. Crocker. The funeral was held at the res­ idence Monday afternoon at half past two. and the services were conducted by Rev. I^eonard J. Dunne of the Baptist church. The remains were taken to Marshall Tuesday, for In­ terment by the side of her deceased husband, N. P. Frink, in the lamily burying ground near that city, and were accompanied by Mrs. Crocker.

If it doesn’t pay, return to us the empty packages and we will r-efund your money. Feeding Dr. Hess Stock Tonic is just like applying fertilizer to the soil. Fertilizer makes the soil yield; Dr. Hess Stock Tonic cakes the digestive organs convert more feed into growth. Sometimes 50 per cent of the food a healthy animal eats is found undigested in the manure. - If this wasn’t true how could we -fatten our hogs on the corn that passes through the other stock un­ digested? Feeding medicinal ingredients will reduce this waste. Every medical writer in the universe says so. । Saving a part of the wasted nutrition by increasing digestion is known as the Dr. Hess Idea of Stock Feeding. Get this idea firmly in your mind. Do not allow the system to waste half of your feed—save a part of this waste. Every particle you save means profit to yourself.

Mur­ rell's face underwent a swift change. “You’re a bold fellow to force your nay into a lover's quarrel,” he said quietly. Carrington’s arm dropped at his side. Perhaps, after all, it was that Juvsrifmavs ByD.Melv/u “You're fortunate in being so near­ ly home," he observed. "I'm going on to Memphis." Betty exclaimed: "Why, I am go­ ing to Memphis, top!" "Are. you? By canal to Cumber­ land, and then by stage over the Na­ tional Road to Wheeling?" Betty nodded. "It makes one wish they'd finish their railroads, doesn't it? Do you suppose they'll ever get as far west as Memphis?" she said. "They say it's going to be bad for the river trade when they're built on something besides paper," answered Carrington. "And I happen to be a flatboatman, Miss Malroy.” No more was said just then, for Betty became reserved and did not at­ tempt to resume the conversation. A day later they rumbled into Washing­ ton, and as Betty descended from the coach Carrington stepped to her side. "I suppose you'll stop here. Miss Malroy," he said, indicating the tav­ ern before which tbe stage had come to a stand. "Yes," said Betty briefly. "If 1 can be of any service to you—” he began, with just a touch of awk­ wardness in his manner. ' "No, I thank you, Mr. Carrington,” said Betty quickly. "Good plght . . . good-by." He turned away, and Betty saw his tall form disappear in the twilight. • ••••••• A month and more had elapsed since Bob Yancy's trial. Just two days later man and boy disappeared from Scratch Hill. Murrell was soon on their trail and pressing forward in hot pursuit. Reaching the moun­ tains, be beard of them first as ten days ebead of him and bound for west Tennessee; the ten days dwin­ dled to a week, the week became live days, the five days three; and now as he emerged from the last range of bills be caught sight of them. Yancy glanced back at the blue wall of the mountains where it lay along the horizon. "Weil, Nervy," he said, "we've put a heap of distance between us and old Scratch Hill." For the past ten days their journey had been conducted in a leisurely fashion. As Yancy said, they were seeing the world, and It was well to take a good look al it while they had a chance. Suddenly out of the silence came the regular beat of hoots. These grew nearer and nearer, and at last when they were quite close. Yancy faced about. Smilingly Murrell reined in his horse. "Why—Bob Yancy!" be cried in apparent astonishment “Yes, sir—Bob Yancy. Does it hap­ pen you are looking fo' him, Cap­ tain?” Inquired Yancy. “No—no. Bob. I'm on my way west" Murrell slipped from his saddle and fell into step at Yancy’s side as they moved forward. "They were mightily stirred up at the Cross Roads when I left wonder­ ing what had come of you,” be ob­ served. ’That's kind of them." responded Yancy, a little dryly. There was no reason for it. but be was becoming distrustful of Murrell, and uneasy. They went forward in silence. A I CHAPTER VI. Betty Sets Out for Tennessee. Bruce's first memories had to do with long nights when he perched be­ side his father on the cabin root of their keel-boat and watched tbe stars or the blurred line of tbe shore where it lay against the sky, or the lights on other barges and rafts drifting as they were drifting, with their wheat and corn and whisky, to that com­ mon market at the river’s mouth. Bruce Carrington had seen the day of barge and raft reach its zenith, bad beard tbe first steam packet's shrieking whistle, which sounded the death-knell of the ancient order, though the shifting of the trade was a slow matter and tho glory of the old did not pass over to the new at once, but lingered still in mighty Geels of rafts and keel boats and in tbe Ho­ meric carousals of some ten thousand of the half-horse, half-alligator breed that nightly gathered in New Orleans. After the reading of the warrant that morning. Charley Balaam had shown Carrington the road to the Forks, assuring him when they sep­ arated that with a little care and decent use of his eyes would be possible to fetch up « Hid not pass plumb through • tl tlement without knowing where he was. He was on his way to Fayetteville, where he intended to spend tbe night, and perhaps a day or two in looking around, when the meeting with Betty and Murrell occurred. The girl's face remained with him. It was a face bo would like to see again. He was still thinking of the girl when he ate bls supper that night at Cleggett's Tavern. Later, in tbe bar, he -engaged his host in idle gossip. He bad met a gentleman and a lady on I the road that day! be wondered, as j he toyed with bls glass, if it could I have been the Ferrises? Mounted? Yes, mounted. Then It was Ferris j and bis wife—or it might have been i Captain Murrell and Miss Malroy. Miss Malroy did not live in that part of the country; she was a friend of Mrs. Ferris', belonged in Kentucky or Tennessee, or somewhere out yonder —at any rate she w/.b bringing her visit to an e. ' for' Ferris had in­ structed him to reserve a place for her in tbe north-bound stage on the morrow. Carrington suddenly remembered that he bad thought of starting north in the morning himself. Tbe stage left at six, and as Car­ rington climbed to bls seat the next morning Mr. Cleggett was advising the driver to look sharp when he came to tbe Barony road, as be was to pick up a party there, it was Car­ rington who looked sharp, and almost at the spot where he had seen Miss Malroy tbe day before be saw her again, with Ferris and Judith and a pile of luggage bestowed by the way­ side. Betty did not observe him as tbe coach stopped, for she was in­ tent on her farewells with her friends. There were hasty words of advice from Ferria, .prolonged good-bys to /uditb, tears—kisses—while a place was being made for her many boxes and trunks. Carrington gathered that she was going north to Washington; that her final destination was some point either on the Ohio or Missis­ sippi, and that her name was Betty. Then the door slammed and the stage was in motion again. All through the morning they swung forward in the beat and dust and glare, and at midday rattled into tbe shaded main street of a sleepy village and drew up before the tavern where dinner was waiting them. Betty saw Carrington when she took her seat, and gave a scarcely perceptible start of surprise. Then her face was flooded with a rich col­ or. This waa the man who saw her with Captain Murrell yesterday! There was a brief moment of irreso­ lution and then she bowed coldly. It was four days to Richmond. Four days of hot, dusty travel, four nights of uncomfortable cross-road stations, sudden turn in the road brought them where Betty suffered sleepless nights to the edge of an extensive clearing. and the unaccustomed pangs of early Close to the road there were several rising. She occasionally found her­ buildings, but not a tree bad been self wondering who Carrington was. snared to shelter them and they stood She approved ot the manner In which forth starkly, the completing touch to he conducted himself.

"Howdy?" he drat-led. *;Howdy?" responded Mr. Yancy. “Shall you stop here?” asked Mur­ rell, sinking his voice. Yancy nodded. "Can you put us up?” inquired Mur­ rell. turning to the tavern-keeper. T reckon that's what I'm here for," said Slos□on. Murrell glanced about tho empty yard. "Slack." observed Slosson languidly. “Yes, sir, slack's the only name for IV It was under­ stood he referred to the state of trade. He looked from one to the other of tbe two men. As bls eyes rested on Murrell, that gentleman raised the first three fingers of his right band. The gesture was ever so little, yet it seemed to have a tonic effect on Mr. Slosson. What might have developed into a smile bad he not immediately suppressed it, twisted his bearded lips as he made an answering move­ ment. "Eph, come here, you!" Biosson raised his voice. This call brought a half-grown black boy from about a corner of the tavern, to whom Murrell relinquished his horse. "Let’s liquor," said tbe captain over bis shoulder, moving off in the direc­ tion of the bar. "Come on, Newy!" said Yancy fob lowing, and they all entered the tav­ ern. "Well, here’s to the best of good luck!” said Murrell, as be raised his glass to* bls lips. “Same here,” responded Yancy. Murrell pulled out a roll of bills, one of which he tossed on the bar. Then after a moment's hesitation be de­ tached a second bill from the roll-and turned to Hannibal. "Here, youngster—a present for you,” he said good-naturedly. Hanni­ bal, embarrassed by the unexpected gift, edged to bis Uncle Bob's side. "Thank you, sir," said the boy. "Let's have another drink,” sug­ gested Murrell. Presently Hannibal stole out into tbe yard. He still held the bill in his band, for he did not quite know how to dispose of his great wealth. After debating this mutter for a moment he knotted it carefully in one corner of his handkerchief. In the tavern the three men were drinking—Murrell with the Idea that the more Yancy came under the in­ fluence of Slosson's corn whisky the easier his speculation would be man­ aged. Mr. Yancy on bls part believed that if Murrell went to bed reason­ ably drunk he would sleep late and give him the opportunity he coveted, to quit the tavern unobserved nt break of day. "When yo’ get to feelin' like sleep, young boss, Mas'r Slosson he says 1 show yo' to yo' chamber.” It was Slosson's boy Eph. "Yes, you can show me my cham­ ber." Hannibal said. Eph secured a.tin candle-stick with a half-burnt candle In it and led the way into the passage back of the bar. They mounted a flight of stairs and passed down a narrow hail. This brought them to tho back of the building, and Eph pushed open the door on his right. "This beah's yo' chamber," be said, and preceding his companion in­ to tbe room, placed the candle on a chair. The moon was rising and Hannibal went to the open window and glanced out For a moment he considered the night, not unaffected by its beauty, then, turning from the window, he moved bls bundle and rifle to the foot of the bed, where they would be out of his way, kicked off his trousers, blew out the candle and lay down. Yaucy had become more and more convinced as the evening passed that Murrell was bent on getting him drunk, and suspicion mounted darkly to his brain. “Have a drink with me!” cried Blosson, giving way to drunken laughter. 'The captain's dropped out, and I 'low it’s about time fo* these here festivities to come to an end. I'm thinking some ot going to bed my­ self,” said Yancy. He kept his eyes fixed on Murrell. He realized that if the latter could prevent it he was not to leave the bar. He never shift­ ed his glance from Murrell's face. Scowling now, the captain's eyes blazed back their challenge as he .thrust his right band under his coat. “Fair play—I don’t know- who you are, but I know what you want!” said Yancy, the light in his frank gray eyes deepening. Murrell laughed and took a forward step. At the same mo­ ment Slosson snatched up a heavy club from the back of the bar and dealt Yancy a murderous blow. A single startled cry escaped the Scratch Hiller; be struck out wildly as he lurched toward Murrell, who drew his knife and drove it into bis shoulder. Yancy dropped heavily to tbe fleor. How long the boy slept be never knew, but he awoke with a start and a confused sense of things. It was evidently very late, probably long after midnight—but where was hla Uncle Bob? He sank back on his pillow Intent and listening. A chilling terror that gripped him fast and would not let him go, mounted to his brain. Where was his Unde Bob? Why didn’t he come to bed? Memories ot idle tales of men foully dealt with in these lonely taverns flashed through hla mind. He alid from the bed, and for a long moment stood cold and shaking, his every sense on the alert With Inflslte caution he got Into bls trous­ ers and again paused to listen, since he feared his least movement might betray him. Next he secured his pack, and was ready for flight Encumbered by hla belongings, but with no mind to sacrifice them, he BEWARE OF SUDDEN ATTACKS THAT MAY PROVE DEADLY.

A Foundation of Dimes It was a good many centuries ago that the wise men cautioned against the despising of small things. It is a homely and familiar topic «n which to point a moral. Over in New York there is in course of construction the highest building in the world on a foundation of dimes. The man who is doing this is the man who dis­ covered and developed the 5 and 10 cent stores. He has shown that he was practical and he was probably ambitious to become one of the world’s merchant princes. Necessity led him the longer and less conspicuous route. He did not “despise the day of small things;” of a moderate start, and the business world has marveled at the large things accomplished. <.

When your blood is impure remember that this is one of the most satisfactory blood ana skin remedies in existence. We do not claim it to be a specific but it comes the nearest to it of anything we know. It cleanses the blood of all impurities—destroys disease-pro­ ducing germs—makes good rich red biood-stirs up the sluggish blood—increases the circulation and supplies nutrition to the body tissues. Keep the Blood in a Healthy Condition The blood doing its full duty and the skin will remain dear and healthy. The blood must be pure in order to nurish the skin—it's the foundation of health. This is the foundation, the base upon which the success of Nyal’s HotSprings Blood Remedy is built—it purifies the blood and keeps it pure.

Lybrook to prosecute a suit tor damage tn the sum of >7,050 against the Standard Oil Co., whose agent it is claimed was re­ sponsible for the recent, fire which consumed the general store at Alnger and an adjoining residence. It appears that an employee of the Standard Oil Co. was deliverlug t quantity of kerosene oil at the Alnger store and in endeavoring to thaw out a frozen pipe to permit tbe oil to run to the tank caused tbe conflagration. The point to be threshed out by the courts will be whether or not, in this case, the Standard Oil Co. can be held responsible for the damage oc­ casioned by alleged carelessness of Its employee and many fine points of law are involved. It is claimed that when the Standard Oil Company's de­ livery man suggested thawing out the pipes with a torch the manager of the store protested, and that while he was busy with a customer the de­ livery man proceeded to thaw out tbe pipe with some waste or other flimsy material, thereby starting k blase which laid the property waste retched with Yet right here In Noohville. much Interest and Mr. Dear, is conflare nefiectin* or Injuring thair Ibtte Republican. hair to snob an extent that it la only VILLAGE HOME FOR SALE. teriy ruined.

Foster, a professor of Olivet college. “That "the whole nation Is going toward idiocy through the marrying of mentally and ph’yhslcally unsound persons, and that there is bound to be a smash within a hundred years if there is not some check made against the bringing of unsound per­ sons into the world,’’ was tho state­ ment made bjr Dr. Frank H. Foster, head of tbe department of history of Olivet college, iu a lecture yes­ terday on "The Family." “People apply common sense in the breeding of live stock and the same application should be made to human beings," said Dr. Foster. "Underbreedtngs, underfeeding and disease are causing our race to de­ generate and as yet there has been little attention paid to checking the tendency. I believe that Michigan should have a law requiring the sterilization of all feeble minded, dis­ eased and Insane people and I shall within a short time try to have a bill of this kind brought before our state legislature. Dr. Foster spoke strongly against any person marrying who had any kind of a physical disease which might, be transmitted.

Badly Handicapped by Severe Storm, WM Still a SucceHftful and Enjoy­ able Affair. A Foundation of Dimes About forty . Nashville people journeyed ‘to Hastings Friday after­ noon of last week to attend the ban­ quet of the Barry County Republican club. They - were well repaid for their trip, In spite of the fact' that the severe storm seriously delayed train service and kept two of the speakers from being present. Sena­ tor William Alden Smith, who made the trip from Washington to Mich­ igan especially for the banquet, was bottled up In Grand Rapids and was unable to get. a train out in time-to attend. Secretary of State Martin­ dale was also unable to be present. Many Republicans from various parts of the county who had expected to be present were unable to get in on account of highways in the coun­ try being blockaded. In spite of the unfavorable circumstances, there were upwards of three hundred peo­ ple In attendance and they were all well repaid for their time and trouble. The banquet, served in the basement of the new Methodist church by the Methodist ladles, was excellent in every way and was served promptly and systematically. Railroad Commissioner Glasgow was toastmaster, and was at his best, his witty sallies at the expense of the various speakers putting the audi­ ence in good humor, while his prac­ tical talk along the lines of party harmony apparently touched a re­ sponsive chord In the minds of a great majority of those present. Milo D. Campbell took for bls top­ ic, "Shall William H. Taft be denied renomination for a second term in order to nominate Theodore Roose­ velt for a third term?” Crltizing the tendency of politics, he deprecated the idea of the recall of judges, as a will-o'-the-wisp which will not be heard of after the elec­ tion until another campaign. "What really great progressive principle has not been taken up by William H. Taft? What great issue has Roosevelt championed that Taft has not?” he said. Mr. Cambell said he was in.favor of presidential primaries and would favor one for this state at this time could one be had without violating the plain terms of the constitution. "Our constitution is Michigan's ark of the covenant. It was made by and belongs to the people. Neith­ er the legislature, the governor, the president nor an ex-president has any right to lay vile hands upon It." Congressman Hamilton, who came all the way from Washington to at­ tend the banquet, dismissed the polit­ ical issues of the day with a few face­ tious remarks about what the Demo­ cratic majority in the bouse had fail­ ed to do in constructive tariff legis­ lation, and then devoted himself to the historical development of the American constitution and some of the general political and social con­ ditions of the times. He advocated a tariff large enough to equal the difference between the cost of produc­ tion'home and abroad as determ­ ined by a tariff board. It was a good many centuries ago that the wise men cautioned against the despising of small things. It is a homely and familiar topic on which to point a moral. Over in New York there is in course of construction the highest building in the world on a foundation of dimes. The. man who is doing this is the man who dis­ covered and developed the 5 and 10 cent stores. He has shown that he was practical and he was probably ambitious to become one of the world’s merchant princes. Necessity led him the longer and less conspicuous route. He did not “despise the day of small things;” of a moderate start, and the business world has marveled at the large things accomplished. , THE SMALL DEPOSIT IN THIS BANS IS TREATED WITH THE SAME CONSIDERATION AS THE LARGER ONE.

Furniss twelve years and were faithful at­ tendants at the Methodist Episcopal church at that place. In 1868 the family returned to the United States, moved to Sebewa, Ionia county, Mich­ igan, and united with the First Bap­ tist church at that place. On April 21-, 1901, her beloved companion and faithful husband was taken home. He passed way rejoic­ ing in God and singing, "Safe In the Arms of Jesus.” Mrs. Leak has al­ ways made her home with her young­ est daughter, Elvira Edith Braden, and moved with her to Nashville, Burry county, In 1907. Last July she was taken sick and never really regained her health. She attended the Christmas service at the Baptist church, but the exceptional­ ly severe cold of the winter prevent­ ed her from again going to church. About five weeks ago she became ser­ iously ill and grew steadily weaker While there was much pain her clos­ ing hours were without suffering and on March 16, 1912, she went home to her Saviour, happy and peaceful In the consciousness of His abiding love and mercy. There were, nine children, seven of whom are still living; John Francis Leak, Zerean Collier, Ell Leak, Sarah Ann Braden, Jeraido J. Leak and El­ vira Edith Braden. Besides these there are eleven grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren and many other relatives. At the funeral service, which was held in the First Baptist church at Sebewa, Leonard J. Dunne, pastor of the Nashville Baptist church preach­ ed from the text, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” Mrs. Leak was a kind hearted, gentle, loving mother, a faithful wife and an earnest and consistent Christ­ ian woman. The family have the sympathy of their many friends in their bereavement. WRESTLING TOURNAMENT. The wrestling and boxing tourna­ ment which was held at the opera house last Wednesday night proved to be a success. The four wrestling bouts which took place were fast and exciting, and the boxing match was to be a good exhibition. The first bout was between Otte Gokay and Fay Sheldon. Gokay got the first fall in four minutes, and the second In eleven minutes, his weight prov­ ing too much for Sheldon. The second bout was a handicap, Amos Hinkley agreeing to throw Howard Messimer and Wayne Mitchell three times In 30 minutes. The first fall Hinkley got in two minutes and the second he easily won in one minute and thirty seconds. The third fall was someyhat harder for Hinkley, taking him six minutes to pin Messi­ mer's shoulders to the mat. The boxing match between Seth Graham and Emmett Gibson was full of ex­ citement, both men being in good form and of about the same weight The third wrestling bout U’as the main bout of the entertainment, be­ tween Robert Smith and Robin Clifford, the men weighing In at 175 pounds. The first fall went to Smith in five minutes. The second was Smith’s in eight minutes and thirty seconds. In both cases Clifford was thrown with full nelson. The fourth bout was between Guy Hummnll ENROLL ANY TIME. and Newton Trautman.

You cannot be over-careful In the selection of medicines for children. Only the very gentlest bowel medi­ cine should ever be given, except in emergency cases Ordinary pills, cathartics and purgatives are apt to do more harm than good. They may cause griping, nausea and other dis­ tressing after-effects that are * quentiy health-destroying. We personally recommend and guarantee Rexall Orderlies asthe __ safest and most dependable remedy, which we know, for constipation and associate bowel disorders. We have such absolute faith In the virtues of this remedy that we sell it on oar guarantee of money back in every instance where It falls to give entire satisfaction, and we urge all in need of such medicine to try It at our risk. Rexall Orderlies are eaten just , like candy, are particularly prompt and agreeable In action, may be tak­ en at any time, day or night; do not cause diarrhrea, nausea, griping, ex­ cessive looseness, or other undesir­ able "fleets. They have a very mild bat positive action upon the organs with which they come In contact, ap­ parently acting as a regulative tonic upon the relaxed muscular coat of the bowels to more vigorous and healthy activity. Rexall Orderlies commonly corm pletly relieve constipation, except of course when of a surgical character. They also tend to overcome the necessity of constantly taking laxa­ tives to keep the bowels in normal condition. Three sizes of packages, 10 cents, and 50 cents.

"We men of the ministerial profession should put the weight of our influence in the right' place and should take our place among the men of the world as cPlsens.

Now local women are doing considerable talking about tbe inci­ dent. "Standing, on one’s head Is a preventive, if not a cure," said Doc­ tor Otis. “It gets the weight off your feet and puts more brain In your head."

Mr. Mahaffy glanced at the jug. at tbe half-emptied glass, lastly at the judge himself. “You seem to be raising first-rate bell all by yourself.” “Oh, be reasonable, Solomon. You'd gone down to the steamboat land­ ing,’’ said the judge plaintively. By way of answer. Mahaffy shot him a contemptuous glance. “Take a chair —do, Solomon!" entreated the judge. "When did I ever sneak a Jug Into my shanty?" asked Mahaffy sternly, evidently conscious of entire recti­ tude tn this matter. "I deplore your choice of words, Solomon,” said the judge. "You know damn well that if you’d been here 1 couldn’t have got past your place with that jug! But let’s deal with conditions. Here's the jug, with some liquor left in it—here's a glass. Now what more do you want?” Mr. Mahaffy drew near the table. “Bit down,” urged the Judge. "I hope you feel mean?” said Ma­ haffy. g "If It’s any satisfaction td you, I do," admitted the judge. "You ought to." Mahaffy drew for­ ward a chair. Tbe judge filled his "What’s the news from tbe land­ Ing?" Mahaffy brought his fist down on the table. *T beard tbe boat churning away round back of the bend, then 1 saw the lights, and she tied up and they tossed off the freight, luen she churned away again and her lights got back of the trees on the bank. shore, and I was left with the half­ dozen miserable loafers who’d crawled out to see the boat come in. That’s the news six days a week!” By tbe river had come tbe judge, tentatively hopeful, but at heart ex­ pecting nothing, therefore immune to disappointment and equipped for fail­ ure. By the river had come Mr. Ma­ haffy, as unfit as the judge himself, and for the same reason, but sour and bitter wltn ’the world, believing al­ ways in the possibility of some mir­ acle of regeneration.

"You were like this once before,’ trophlzed the jail. Presently the crowd drifted away in the direction of the tavern. Han­ nibal meantime had gone down to the river. He haunted its banks as though he expected to see bls Uncle Bob appear any moment. The Judge and Mahaffy had mingled with the others In the hope of free drinks, but in this hope there lurked the germ of a bitter disappointment. After a period of mental anguish Mahaffy parted with bla lost stray coin, and while his flask was being filled the judge indulged in certain winsome gallantries with the fat landlady. "La, Judge Price, how-you do run on!" she said with » coquettish toss of. her curls. "That’s the charm of you, ma'am," said the judge. He leaned across the bar and, sinking his voice to a husky whisper, asked: "Would it be perfect­ ly convenient for you to extend me a limited credit?” "Now. Judge Price, you know a heap better than to ask me that!" she answered, shaking her head. "No offense, ma’am,” said the Judge, hiding his disappointment, and with Mahaffy he quitted the bar. The sudden noisy clamor of many voices, high-pitched and excited, float­ ed out to them under the hot sky. "1 wonder—began the judge, and paused as be saw tbe crowd stream into the road before the tavern. Then a cloud of dust enveloped It, a cloud of dust that came from the tramping of many pairs of feet, and that swept toward them, thick and impenetrable, and no higher than a tall man's head in the lifeless air. *T wonder if we missed anything?” continued the judge, finishing what he had started haffy quitted his chair, and crossing the room, drew the . quilt aside. A glance sufficed to assure him that in part, at least, the judge spoke the troth. There was a hoof-beat on tbe road. It came Dearer and nearer, and pres­ ently sounded just beyond the door. Then it ceased, and a voice sold: "Hullo, there!" The Judge scram­ bled to his feet, and taking up the candle, staggered into the yard. Ma­ haffy followed him. .

Royal BAKING POWDER Used and praised by the most competent and careful pas­ try cooks the world over The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of grapes ATTRACTIONS AT POWERS-. The Bachellor's Baby. When a play has been before the public for three seasons, there is every reason to believe that it is a good one-and that is the general con­ sensus of opinion regarding Francis Wilson’s comedy-farce, "The Bach­ elor’s Baby." The first sanaon wa­ spent practically In New York, for at the Criterion theater, it -enjoyed a most successful engagement of eight months and since . then has played a return engagement at the same theater. ‘ As Thomas Beach, the child-hating bachelor, the com­ edian is said never to have had a part that suits him better. The story is about one Thomas Beach, a bachelor. In love with Winifred West (Miss Edna Bruns) who has an im­ possible mother. Beach is a hater of children, due largely to the tact that he makes no effort to under­ stand them. His twin brother dies at sea and makes him guardian of his little daughter Martha. He de­ termines not to accept the trust des­ pite the fact that a large inheritance goes with it, but is willing that the child's other uncle, it’s mother's brother, shall accept the charge. An accident brings the little one to the house before it is expected and the balance of the play tells how the youngster winds herself around this bachelor’s heart and eventually brings'to his side the woman he wants for a wife. The supporting company is in the main the same as has been with tbe comedian for the past three seasons. Charles Frohman will present Francis Wilson in "The Bachelor’s Baby," at Powers' Theater, Wednesday, March 27. The Spring Maid. Baron Rudi was standing at tbe Sprudel spring in Carlsbad with hit sweetheart Annamlrl, a spring girl, when the dashing Prince Aladar a«ived from Hungary for the annual festival. Aladar had a fondness for spring girls, openly declaring he preferred them to Princesses, and de­ manded an Introduction. Fired with Jealousy, Baron Rudi sought out his charming cousin. Princess Bozena. and acquainted her with th-> designs of the royal flirt. For an instant the Princess be­ trayed a plebeain frown. Then a look of mischief danced In her pret­ ty eyes and she exclaimed: . "So Prince Aladar prefers a spring girl! Well, he shall have her and a lesson with her. I shall go to the spring in one of Annamirl's dresses, you shall Introduce me to His High­ ness and we shall see." Thus it was the saucy Princess be­ came the spring girl. Prince Aladar met her and was captivated. She danced the seductive "Day Dreams" waltz with him, sang the gay "Foun­ tain Fay” song to him and lured him on with the "Two Little Love Bees” duet until his princely head was in a whirl. Finally he declared he could not live without her, spring girl though she be. Then he learned she was a real princess who had only been flirting. She boxed his ears before the crowd and sent him away. But the willful Princess discovered her heart had gone to him. That night, standing at her balco­ ny window, she sang “Day Dreams” with a sob in her throat, while below in the garden the haughty Prince was hiding and caught the rose which the Princess kissed and threw out into the night. The next day—but the rest of the story is told in that beautiful operet­ ta, "The Spring Maid,” with its en­ chanting melodies, charming ro­ mance, joyous scenes, pretty dances and gay atmosphere of springtime In every bubbling note of it.

She is the piquant Prin­ cess Bozena at Carlsbad—a willful sprite with mlscheif in her heart. Her pretty face and royal graces as tho Princess have won a success that places her among the foremost Amer­ ican light opera singers. "The Spring Maid" will be at Pow­ ers’ theatre March 29, 30 and 31, with a Saturday matinee. Want Column.

' DRUNKENNESS cordance with Act No. J 81, Public 279. Public Acta of 1911, the Board of Enrollment of the Township of Castleton, (Precinct No. 2) County of Barry, State of Michigan, will be in session at' Red Ribbon Hall, Mor­ gan. Michigan, Monday, April 1, A. D. 1912, from 7 o'clock a. m. until 5 o'clock p. m. of said day, for till- pur­ pose of'enrolling the names of all persons, members of whatever politi­ cal party, who make pers-nal appli­ cation for sueb enrollment. Hon- Electors can Secure Enrollment. Following is a brief statement of the different ways in which enroll­ ment can be had in townships during the year 1912: 1 By personal application on en­ rollment day, April 1, 1912, 2 By a written request accompa­ nied by affidavit, an elector can en­ roll any day, but can not vote at any primary held within two months. This affidavit and application must be delivered to the township clerk or other officer in charge of the enroll­ ment books. 3 An elector who was sick or una­ voidably absent on enrollment day or who became 21 years of age or an elector after enrollment day can have his name enrolled on primary elec­ tion day and vote at that election by taking the necessary oath. 4 If an elector,who has been du­ ly enrolled as above- changes his res­ idence from one precinct in the state to another he can be enrolled in the new precinct by obtaining a proper certifiate from a member of the En­ rollment Board of the precinct where­ in he formerly resided stating that he is duly enrolled in the precinct from which he has moved and is en­ titled to enrollment in the new pre­ cinct, or by taking oath. No person can vote at any primary in Michigan unless bls name has been enrolled under Act No. 279, Public Acts of 1911: all enrollment prior to August 2, 1911, is void, an entirely now enrollment is required. But a person whose name was enrolled Jan. 27th or at any time since Aug. 2. 1911, need not enroll again, unless he has changed his residence. April 1 Is the last Enrollment day for 1912, but enrollment can be had any day by request and affidavit, as stated above, but this must be done two months before August 27th to en­ title an elector to vote at the Gen­ eral Primary Election on that date. An elector who neglects or refuses to give the name of his political par­ ty cannot have his name enrolled. Dated this 20th’ day of March, A. D. 1912. E. L. Schantz. Clerk of said Township.

The combination of bad weather and bad roads was too much for the rural voters Monday, and the result was the lightest vote polled in Castle­ ton township in many years, there be­ ing but 357 votes cast in the first precinct and 67 in the second pre­ cinct, a total of 42-4, which is 104 less than that one year ago, and 195 less than two years ago. Combined with the bad weather and the bad roads was a lack of Interest, it being generally conceded that the Republi­ cans had a walk-away except on high­ way commissioner, which was gener­ ally conceded to the Democrats, Mr. Felghner having given such general satisfaction in the past that many Republicans supported him. His majority was 94. The county road system is defeat­ ed in the county by more than two to one. Castleton gave It 101 yes and 316 no. Maple Grove, did It st[!l harder, giving 17 yes and 169 no. Evidently Barry county is not yet ready for the county system. For the first time In several years the Democrats have a working ma­ jority on the county board, having ten supervisors against eight for the Republicans. In the first precinct of Castleton the Republicans cast 80 straight votes and 156 splits, the Democrats 55 straight and 4 8 splits, while 18 bal­ lots had no heading marked. \ • THE SMALL DEPOSIT IN THIS BANK IS TREATED WITH THE SAME CONSIDERATION AS THE LARGER ONE.

DIED ALONE, AS HE LIVED. Ambrose Childs, Vermontville Re­ cluse, Found Dead in Fields, Where he had Lain Five Days. A peculiar case comes from Ver­ montville township this week, one of those peculiar cases which causes a wave of sympathy to go out to an un­ fortunate. no matter how little known he may have been. Ambrose Childs, a man upwards of sixty years of age, and who was more or less of a misanthropist, was found dead in one of his fields Sunday morn­ ing, .where his body had evidently lain for four or five days. His team, with the harness on. and still hitched together, was also in the fields, and had evidently wandered aimlessly about the place in search of food and drink. Hid dog, a fierce bull-dog, was found locked in the house, and was so nearly starved when found that he was unable to bark. The house was devoid of eatables, and It is surmised that Childs was getting ready to go to town for some­ thing to eat when stricken by death. He lived in a little house on a piece of ground back from the highway, and this accounts for his not being missed by the neighbors, who fre­ quently saw nothing of him for weeks. ' Coroner Benedict of Vermontville was called and made an investigation of the case, but at last advices had not decided to hold an inquest. Childs was unpopular, becabse of. his crabbed disposition, and had fre­ quently had trouble with the young men of the surrounding country, who seemed to take a peculiar enjoyment in tormenting him, but the circum­ stances of his death takes away alt feelings of animosity and leaves lu the minds of all naught but sympa­ thy for the lonely old man.

"I didn't come here to see Belle Plain.” “Then you expect to remain in the neighborhood?” "I've given up the river, and I'm going to get hold of some land."

In the midst of her activities Betty occasionally found time to think of Bruce Carrington. She wls sure she did not wish to see him again! But when three weeks bad passed she be­ gan to feel Incensed that he had not appeared. She thought of him with hot cheeks and a quickening of the heart. It was anger. Then one day when she bad decid­ ed forever to banish all memory of him from her mind, he presented him­ self at Belle Plain.

' "Oh. Mr. Carrington—" and Betty stopped short, while her face grew rather pale and then crimsoned. Then she advanced boldly and held out a frigid hand. "I didn't know— so you are alive—you disappeared so suddenly that night—" “Yes, I'm alive,” he said, and then with a smile, "but I fear before you get through with me we'll both wish I were not, Betty. “Do you still hate me. Betty—Miss Malroy—is there anything I can say or do that will make you forgive me?" He looked at her penitently. But Betty hardened her heart against him and prepared to keep him in place. “Will you sit down?" she Indicated a chair. He seated himself and Betty put a safe distance between them. "Are you staying In the neighborhood, Mr Carrington?" she asked, rather unkindly. “No, I’m not staying In the neigh­ borhood. When I left you. I made up my mind I'd wait at New Madrid un­ til I could come on down here and “And It’s taken you all 'this timer’ Carrington regarded her seriously. “I reckon I must have come for more time.

They kept to little frequented byways, and usually It was the early hours of the morning, or tbo cool of late after­ noons, when they took the road. A certain hot afternoon brought them Into the shaded main street of a straggling village. Near the door of the principal building, a frame tavern, a man was seated, with his feet on । the horse-rack. There was no other ■ sign of human occupancy. । "How do you do, sir?" said the । judge, halting before this solitary in­ , dividual whom he conjectured to be I the landlord. "What's tbo name of j this bustling metropolis?" continued the judge, cocking his head on one I side. । As ho spoke, Bruce Carrington ap­ I peared In the tavern door; pausing there, he glanced curiously at the shabby wayfarers. "This is Raleigh. In Shelby county, Tennessee," said the landlord. “Are you the voice from the tomb?” Inquired the judge. In a tone of play­ ful sarcasm. Carrington, amused, sauntered to­ ward him. “That's oi.e for you, Mr. Pegloe!” be said. “I am charmed to meet a gentleman whose spirit of appreciation shows his familiarity with a literary allu­ sion," said the judge, bowing. "We ain’t so dead as we look," said Pegloe. “Just you keep on to Boggs’ race-track, straight down the road, and you'll find that out—everybody's there to the hose-racing and shooting­ match. I reckon you've missed the boss-racing, but you’ll be in time for the shooting. Why ain't you there, Mr. Carrington?” "I’m going now, Mr. Pegloe,” an­ swered Carrington, as he followed the judge, who, with Mahaffy and the boy, had moved off. . "Better stop at Boggs’1” Pegloe called after them. But the judge had already formed bls decision. Horse-racing and shoot­ ing-matches were suggestive of that progressive spirit, the absence of which he had so much lamented at the j»U raising at Pleasantville. Mem­ phis was their objective point, but Boggs* became a side Issue of Im­ portance. They had gained the edge of the village when Carrington over­ took them. He stepped to Hannibal's side. “Here, let me carry that long rifle, son!” he said. Hannibal looked up into his face, and yielded the piece without a wor>. Carrington balanced it on his big palm. “I reckon it can shoot—these old guns are hard to beat!" he observed. ‘She's the closest shooting rifle I ever sighted," said Hannibal prompt- Carrington laughed. ’ There was a rusty name-plate on the stock of the old sporting rifle; this caught Carrington's ey®. “What's the name here? Ob, Turbervlhe." The judge, a step or two In ad­ vance, wheeled In bis tracks with a startling suddenness. “What?” he faltered, and his face was ashen. “Nothing, I was reading the name here; it Is yours, sir, I supposeT* said Carrington. A spasm of pain passed over the judge’s face. "I—I've heard it The name is on the rifle, you say?" "Here on the stock, yes.” The judge took the gun and exam­ ined it in silence. . "Where did you get this rifle, Han­ nibal?” be at length asked brokenly. “I fetched it away from the Barony, sir; Mr. Crenshaw said I might have it" The judge gave a great start, and a hoarse, inarticulate murmur stole from between his twitching lips. "What do you know of the Barony, Hannibal?” "I lived at the Barony once, until Uncle Bob took me to Scratch Hill to be with him," said Hannibal. “You—you lived at the Barony?" repeated the judge, and a dull wonder struck through bls tone. “How long ago—when?" he continued. “I don't know how long * It were, but until Uncle Bob carried me away after the old general died." The judge slipped a band under the child’s chin and tilted his face back so that he might look Into It For a long moment be studied closely these small features, then with a shake of the head he handed the rifle to Car­ rington, and ‘without a word strode forward.

CASTORIA What is CASTORIA GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS The Kind Yon Have Always Bought Children Cry Although Indigestion and Dyspep­ sia are so prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and cure. There is no reason why most people should not eat anything they desire—If they will only chew ft carefully and thoroughly. Many act-' ually starve themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good­ looking,' good-smelling, and good­ tasting food, because it does not agree with them. The best thing to do is to fit your­ self to digest any good food. We believe we can relieve Dyspep­ sia. We are so confident of this fact that we guarantee and promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to every one who will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied with the re­ sults which It produces. We exact no promises, and put no one under obli­ gation whatever. Surely, nothing could be fairer. We are located right here and our reputation should be sufficient assurance of the genuine­ ness of our offer. We want »»very one troubled with Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form to come toiour store and buy a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reason­ able trial, according to directions. Then, if not satisfied, come to us and get your money back. They are very pleasant to take; they aid to sooth the Irritable stomach, and strength­ en and invigorate the digestive or­ gans, and to promote a healthy and natural bowel action, thus leading to perfect ant’. healthy digesting and as­ similation. A 25c. package of Rexall Dyspep­ sia Tablets furnishes 15 days’ treat­ ment. In ordinary cases, this is suf­ ficient to produce a cure. In more chronic cases, a longer treatment, of course, is necessary, and depends up­ on the severity of the trouble. For such cases, we have two larger sizes which sell for 50c. and $1.00.

President Here’s a pointer for Makes His Position President Taft in a speech before the Massachusetts legislature a few days ago, made clear his position on presidential primaries. The president struck from the shoulder and did not mince words In answering the charges of Roosevelt managere that the Taft people were fighting the primary. The president said that he was for a fair primary but that he was against the "soap box” methods of choosing presidents. Here are some striking remarks from the speech of the president: "The continued iteration of the proposition. ‘Let the people rule' • • • is intended- to be a reflection on the government." “I do not heeltate to say that the history of 135 years shows that the people have ruled." "The attack on the judiciary and the recall of judicial decisions (would) destroy its independence snd take away from the arch of govern­ ment the keystone." "Judicial reform • • • depends not upon changing the character of the judges, but upon the change of pro cedars.” Gov. Osborn’s statement that "Whatever is right is constitutional,” and his quotation of Lincoln's words to sustain this, were attacked in the following language: "The meaning of such a view is that the plain construction of tbe constitution is to be perverted. • • • The quoted words of Lincoln have here no application. It Is not true that ‘whatever is right Is constitu­ tional' unless tbe declaration of right is contained in the constitution or not forbidden by it,” TAFTS STRENGTH IN MICHIGAN Shown Conclusively In a Poll of the State Legislature. President Taft’s strength in Michi­ gan was brought forcibly to public attention just before the adjournment of tbe first special session, when a poll of the House of Representative* and of the State Senate was taken. The result was surprising to many friends of Theodore Roosevelt who looked for an entirely different out­ come of the test In the House Mr. Taft received 42 votes, Mr. Roosevelt 34, Wilson 6, LaFollette 1, Clark 3, and Harmon 3. In the Senate poll Mr. Taft wat given 20 votes while Mr. Roosevelt received only 4. The result Is especially significant because the members of tbe House and Senate represent a wide constit­ uency whose sentiments tbey in a great measure reflect Significant also is the result because Roosevelt had been promised the state of Mich­ igan by some of bis friends and-ard­ ent supporters, who represented that this state was ablaze with enthusi­ asm for Colonel Roosevelt. Tbe sen­ timent given voice to* in Lansing is but an indication of the waning Id terest in Roosevelt's campaign and emphasize* the reaction Id favor of Mr. Taft. In view of the increasing sentiment for Taft tbe poll may be accepted as a true index to the pre­ vailing condition In this state and to the growing confidence in the Na­ tional administration.

Thtq policy was announced by Ger­ rit J. Dlekema, Chairman of the Mich­ igan campaign committee directing the work for Mr. Taft in this state, at the beginning of the work. The spirit of fairness which has characterized tbe Michigan campaign thus far has commanded the respect of many who are not altogether in sympathy with the Taft movement The reaction which bas become pro­ nounced during the past few weeks is greatly stimulated by this method and Mr. Taft Is accorded an un­ bounded respect for his purpose' to give his opponent the benefit of a elean campaign.

DEPOSITORY FOR UNITED STATES AND STATE FUIDS. SMALL ACCOUNTS There are many persons in this community who feel, pos­ sibly, that their business does not warrant the keeping of a bank account, but who would, in reality, be greatly benefitted thereby. • This is a mistaken idea. A bank account is val­ uable to every person who transacts business. You are enabled to keep your money where it is safe yet it is available in part or whole at any time. You pan pay all bills by check. This gives you a receipt for eveiy dollar paid, for all checks are returned to you after having been paid by your bank. The fact that you possess a bank account gives you a bet­ ter standing with business men and enables you to establish a credit with your bank when you have need of it. , We welcome small accounts at this bank. 4 PER CENT INTEREST QUARTERLY.

Don’t you really feel just a little bit ashamed of that old suit when you go out to spend the evening with your friends?

Now that Osborn has declared positively that he will not be a candi­ date for a second term as governor of Michigan, Railroad Commissioner Glasgow’s friend* at home and all over the state are anxiously awaiting his permission to start things going for him for the nomination. There Is hardly a doubt but that If be would allow his name to run he would be nominated and elected, for no man in Michigan has more friends and fewer enlmles, and be is not only the logical but the ideal candidate. While . working in the machine room of the Nashville Lumber Co. last Friday afternoon Wesley Moore received a bad injury.

Very few people In the state have ever heard of the summer camp of the botany and biology students of the University of Michigan, whlcn opens for eight weeks, si the begtning of the summer session, near the Bogardus Engineering camp of the University on Douglas lake. The reservation on which the camp is located comprises 1,666 acres of land, and Is owned by the Universi­ ty. it stretches from Douglas lake to Burt lake in Cheboygan county, seventeen miles south of the straits of Mackinac. The great variety of floral and faunal conditions affords an ideal place for the field work of * '*>' reaearch undent., or whom there were twenty-two last summer. The camp is under the direction of Jacob Relghard, Ph. B., professor of. zoology and director of the Zoologi­ cal laboratory in the University of Michigan. Five other teachers make up the faculty list, while Dora Stamats Smith, Ph. B., serves as women's advisor. The camp Is under a semi-military sort of - discipline, which prescribes the day’s program to the minutest de­ tail. The day is ushered in at six o’clock with tho.reveille; breakfast is served at 6:30. Classes begin at 7:45 and continue until 4 p. m., af­ ter which an hour or more is devoted to swimming or other recreation. At 9:30 taps are sounded, lights are ex­ tinguished, and the camp becomes quiet. No one Is permitted to leave the tents after this hour. A rejuvenated log cabin serves as a first-class laboratory. The equip­ ment consists of the necessary scien­ tific apparatus, a launch, row boats, nets, traps, cameras, field-glasses, mi­ croscopes, books, tents and cooking utensils.. One of the interesting experiences of the last session was a four days' walking trip Into the Mackinac re­ gion to Temperance'PoInt, a distance of 50 miles. A complete camping equipment was carried by the pedes­ trians, seven in number. Much wholesome knowledge of the great out-of-doors Is thus acquired by stu­ dents who have always lived in cit­ ies and whose previous acquaintance with nature was limited to dainty little parks shut In by sky-scrapers. It Is not the purpose of the camp to duplicate the courses of study of­ fered at the University, but to pro­ vide facilities for field work that can­ not be so well carried on uqder urban conditions or with the limitations imposed by a college schedule. The training In self-reliance ac­ quired by students at this camp, though Incidental, is Invaluable. The boys chop their own wood and do their own washing and care for their own tents. The girls help with the cooking and direct the domestic ac­ tivities. And as they stand knee­ deep In the underbrush and tramp through marshes and ground pine, these summer camp students come to: realize something of pure animal Joy of living.

If you are paying rent, you are practically throwing away most of the rent money. - The right thing for every man to do is to own his own home. We know men right here in Nashville who have paid out money enough for rent to have bought two or three houses and lots.

You don’t need to have enough money to pay cash down in all cases. On some of these places we can make very reas­ onable terms.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly up­ on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature In doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in Its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that It falls to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

Sylvester Greusel. THE OLIVER No. 26 SULKY is distinctly an Oli­ ver creation. It is one of the younger members of the greater Oli­ ver family and to be that is to be either an improvement over a plow now on the market or to fulfill a want heretofore unanswered. This inimitable power or ‘"horse” lift stands as one of its big­ gest improvements. It is operated by a foot trip when riding, or a hand latch when walking. The operator’s work is diminished by at least one-half, for simply by pressing forward lightly on the foot trip the plow's action Is easily controlled. This sulky further dif­ fers from the average, In that the land wheel is equipped with a lifting device that permits of a great range of travel, which adds to its qualifications for finishing a field —, the stumbling block for most sulkies. The No.-26 overcomes still another difficulty. With the average sulky in turning sod, the furrow is cracked and broken. On the 28, a compressed spring on the land wheel makes it possible to plow sod without breaking it, In extremely rough land. In rough fields it can be easily backed up because of the stiff pole and the two wheels. Sold by O. M. MoLAUGHLIN. OBITUARY.

SMALL ACCOUNTS There are many persons in this community who feel, pos­ sibly, that their business does not warrant the keeping of a bank account, but who would, in reality, be greatly benefited thereby. This is a mistaken idea. A bank account is val­ uable to every person who transacts business. You are.enabled to keep your money where it is safe yet it is available in part or whole at any time. You can pay all bills by check. This gives you a receipt for every dollar paid, for all checks are returned to you after having been paid by your bank. The fact that you possess a bank account gives you a bet­ ter standing with business men and enables you to establish a credit with your bank when you have need of it.

New Orleans, La., April 15.—Great property damage has been ’ rought In northern Louisiana as a result of the sudden breaking of the west levee of the Mississippi near Aisatla. It is feared that many lives may be lost In the onrushing waters. It Is estimated that 800 square miles are flooded, with prospects that twice that amount of territory will be Inun­ dated by night Thousands of families will be made homeless.

April 15.—The Mis­ sissippi Ib pouring through two gaps In the levee at Panther forest in Arkan­ sas and near Roosevelt. La., over fer­ tile flat lands of the Louisiana-Arkan­ sas delta. Before many hours have passed it Is estimated that a thousand uqyare miles In east Carroll and Madi­ son parishes. Louisiana, and Chicot and Desha counties. Arkansas, will be flooded. The river has paused In its assault on its east banks and prospects of bolding the dikes on the Mississippi side have brightened. At Greenville and as far south as Vicksburg the wa­ ter is fi Hing. The breaks are regard­ ed as the most serious that have oc­ curred since the flood period set In. The territory which will be inundated is populous, villages are numerous and Arkansas City and Lake Village. Ark., and Lake Providence. Tallulah and Delhi, La., and other important towns are directly in the part of the over­ flow. Special Trains to the Rescue. When the levees collapsed couriers were sent from every point reached by telephone to warn those living tn re­ mote sections and special trains went from Vicksburg, Greenville and New Orleans to take abroad refugees. All the steamboats available in the Vicksburg and Greenville harbors were dispatched to points along the river to take off those who held to the levee, and small craft began an exploration of the territory flooded with the first rush of the water. Preparations have been made at Vicksburg and Green­ ville to care for the refugees. SAYS NOVELIST STILL WRITES Professor Asserts Frank B. Stockton's Stories Come Through Another Person. New York, April 16.—Prof. James H. Hyslv*. head of the American Society for Psychical Research, will publish in the journal of that society for April an extensive and detailed account of bls experiments with Miss Etta de Camp and Mrs. Ch eno worth, a medi­ um, which he holds tends to establish the fact that the spirit of Frank R. Stockton, an American novelist who died in 1902, has written and Is at­ tempting to write more stories through Miss de Camp, who was not many years ago a business woman and never familiar with Stockton's work. The experiments, which have been carried on for almost three years, are brought down to March of this year.

NASHVILLE LUMBER CO. ? parents to Sunfield, Eaton county. May 7, 1867, she was married to Jac­ ob Smoke, and to them two daugh­ ters, Jennie and Carrie, were born. November 23, 1878, Mr. Smoke died, leaving her with the two little girls. August 7. 1879. she was married to Henn- Hecker, and* to this union one daughter. Belle, was born. She has been a member of the Advent Christian church in Nashville for more than twenty years, having been converted and baptized by the late Elder Philip Holler. - She leaves a husband and three daughters, Mrs. John Tyler of Woodland. Mrs. Norris Perkins of Sunfield and Mrs. Dorr Everett, living near her home; also two grandsons, four stepsons, Geo. of Maple Grove. Jerry of Ohio, Frank of Nashville and Chester of Wood­ land. and fifteen grandchildren, four sisters, Mrs. Mary Hill of Chippewa, Mrs. Warren Hopkins of Washington, Mrs. Chas. Williamson of Ldnslng and Mrs. Chas. Harrendon of De­ troit; two brothers, Andrew Rupe of Missouri and John Rupe of Castle­ ton, besides many other relatives and friends. Mrs. Hecker had been a resident of her neighborhood for many years and will be greatly miss­ ed, not only In her home, and by the children but by her many neighbors and.friends, and the church as well. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder E. C. Manville of Delaware, Ohio, who had come to Nashville to hold a few services in the church. The funeral was held Sunday from the Kilpatrick church. The text used was found in her still open Bi­ ble, where she had last read in St. John 3-7. Her death came very suddenly, as she had been in town with her husband in the afternoon, and was getting supper ready when she fell dead. The sudden shock fell heavily upon the aged husband and three daughters. Mr. Hecker is the gentleman who freely donated the timber from his woods to build the A. C. church at this place. A quartette of singers from this church accompanied the minister and sang some of Mrs. Hecker's favorite hymns. The church was filled to overflowing with sympathetic people. The bur­ ial was in tbe family lot In the Bap­ tist cemetery. Those from away who attended the funeral were Mr. apd Mrs. Will­ iamson of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Harredon of Detroit; Wm. Addison and mother, Mr-.*Mary Hill, of Mecosta county; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Snyder of Ionia; Mrs. L.

Furnlaa. the popular druggist, has succeeded in getting Dr. Howard Co. to make a special half-price introductory offer on the regular flfty-cent size of their celebrated specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia. This medicine is a recent discovery for the cure of all diseases of the stomach and bowels. It not oaly gives quick relief, but it makes permanent cures. Dr. Howard's specific has been so remarkably successful in curing con­ stipation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that Von W. Furniss is will­ ing to return the price paid In every case where it does not give relief. Headaches, coated tongue, dizzi­ ness, gas on stomach, specks before the eyes, constipation, and all forms of liver and stomach trouble are soon cured by this scientific medicine. So great is the demand for this speciflc that Von W. Furniss has been able to secure only a limited supply, and every one who is troubled with dyspepsia, constipation or liver trou­ ble should call upon him 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.

GENUINE CASTORIA ■ ALWAYS Taft Urges an Immediate Appropria­ tion of Amounts Aggregating Near­ ly $788,000 for Work. Washington. April 16.—President Taft sent congress a special message urging Immediate appropriation of amounts aggregating nearly $788,000 for use tn controlling (he floods of the Mississippi river and in aiding flood sufferers. Soon afterward the rivers and har­ bors committee of the house voted to report favorably a bill appropriating <300.000 lor work on the Mississippi river and tributarits, in addition to $350,000 already appropriated. Mr. Taft's message asked for $300,­ 000. In addition to the $350,000 appro­ priated for strengthening the levees; $275,000 for expenses of the quarter­ master general's department in fur­ nishing shelter, forage for cattle and horses and transportation, and $212,­ 897 for rations for destitute persons. Secretary Stimson estimated that $500,000 will have been expended by the war department for rations and supplies for Mississippi river flood sufferers before the river subsides.

Charley Norton’s good offices did Dot end . when bo bad furnished Judge Price with a house, for Betty required of him that be should supply that gentleman with legal business as well. Thus It happened that Judge Price, before be had been three-days in Raleigh, received a civil note from Mr. Norton asking him to search tbe title to a certain timber tract held by one Joseph Quald. Tbe judge, power­ fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be­ ing understood and appreciated. The Immediate result of Norton’s communication had been to send the judge up tbe street to the court bouse. He would show bls client that he could be punctual and painstaking. Entering tbe court house, be found himself In a narrow halt He entered the county clerk’s office. He was al­ ready known to this official, whose name was Saul, and be now greeted him. "A little matter of business brings me here, sir,” began tbe judge, with a swelling chest and mellow accents. “I am In some haste to look up a title for my client, Mr. Norton.” Mr. Saul scrambled up out of tbe depths of bls chair and exerted him­ self In the judge’s behalf. "This Is what you want, sir. Better take the ledger to the window, the light In here ain’t much.” He drew Office up stair* In the Gribbta block.

Sud­ denly the movement of his hand was arrested. “Found itr asked Mr. Saul. But the judge gave him no answer; he was staring down at the open pages of the book. "Found the entry?” re­ peated Mr. Saul. “Eb—whafs that? No—” ho ap­ peared to hesitate. "Who is thia man QuintardT" “He's tbe owner of a hundred-thou­ sand-acre tract In thia and abutting counties," said Mr. Saul. “Who has charge of the land?” “Colonel Fentress; be was old Gen­ eral Ware’s law partner. I’ve heard it was tbe general who got this man Qulntard to make the investment, but that was before my time." The judge lapsed into silence. A step sounded in the narrow hall. An instant later the door was pushed open, and grateful for any interrup­ tion that would serve to taka Mr. Saul’s attention from himself, tbe judge abruptly turned bls bacx on the clerk and began to examine the record before him. Insensibly, how­ ever, the cold, level tones of the voice that was addressing Itself to Mr. Saul quickened the beat of bis pulse, the throb of his heart, and struck back through th© years to a day from which be reckoned time. He turned slowly, as if in dread. What he saw was a man verging on sixty, lean and dark, with thin, shaven cheeks of a bluish cast above the jaw, and a strongly aquiline pro­ file. Long, black locks swept tbe col­ lar of bls coat, while bU tall, spare figure was habited in sleek broadcloth fled to bls side. "Who was that man?" he asked thickly, resting a shaking hand on tbo clerk’s arm. “That?—Oh, that was Colonel Fen­ tress I was just telling you about" "Has be always lived here?” "No; be came into the county about ten years ago, and bought a place called Tbe Oaks." -Has be—a family?” The judge ap. peared to bo having difficulty with bls speech. “Not that anybody knows of. Some say he’s a widower, others again say he’s an old bachelor; but be don’t say nothing. The colonel's- got his friends, to be sure, but he don’t mix much with the real quality. One of his particular Intimates is a gentle­ man by the name of Murrell.** The judge nodded. “I’ve met him,” be said briefly. Acting on a sudden impulse, the judge muttered something about re­ turning later, and hastily quitted the office. In the hall tbo judge’s steps dragged and bls head was bowed. He was busy with bis memories. Then pas­ sion shook him. “Damn him—may God—for ever damn him!” ho cried under bls breath, in a fierce whisper. They finished cupper, the dishes were cleared away and the candles lighted, when the judge produced a mysterious leather-covered case. This he opened, and Mahaffy and Hannibal saw that it held a handsome pair of dueling pistols. “Where did you get ’em,- judge?— Oh, ain’t they beautiful!" cried Han­ nibal. circling about the table in ills excitement. "My dear lad, they were purchased only a few hours ago,” said tbe judge quietly, as be began to load them. Norton bad ridden down to Belle Plain ostensibly to view certain of those Improvements that went so far toward • embittering Tom Ware’s ex­ istence. "Do you think Belle Plain is ever going to look as It did, Charley?—as we remember it when we were chil­ dren?" asked Betty. "Why of course, it is, dear, you are doing wonders!” Ware stalked toward them. Hav­ ing dined with Betty as recently as the day before, he contented himself with a nod In her direction. His greeting to Norton was a more am­ bitious undertaking. “I understand you've a new over­ seer?" "Then you understand wrong—Car­ rington's my guest," said Norton. “He’s talking of putting In a crop for himself next season, so he’s willing to help me make mine.” “Going to turn farmer, la he?” asked Ware. "So he says.” Norton was extreme­ ly disappointed when the planter manifested a disposition to play tbs host and returned to the bouse with them, where his presence was such a hardship that Norton shortly took his leave. Issuing from the lane be turned his face in the direction of home. He was within two miles of Thicket Point when, passing a turn In the road, be found himself confronted by three men. One of them seized his horse by the bit Norton bad not even a riding-whip. “Now, what do you wish to say to me?” he asked. "We want your word that you’ll keep away from Belle Plain.” "Well, you won’t get It!” respond­ ed Norton. In the same Instant one of the men raised his fist aud struck the young planter in the back of the neck. “You cur!” cried Norton, as he wheeled on him. "Damn him—let him have it!** It was mid-afternoon of the day fol­ lowing before Betty heard of the at­ tack on Norton. She ordered her horse saddled and was soon out on the river road with a groom In her wake. Betty never drew rein until she reached Thicket Point.

"You needn’t distress yourself, Tom. I don't know that I shall go there again,” said Betty indifferently. At Thicket Point Charley Norton, greatly excited, bobbled tnto the li­ brary to search of Carrington. He found him reading by the open win­ dow. “Look here, Bruce!” ho cried. “It’s settled; she’s going to marry me! Can't you wish me joy?” Carrington held out his hand. ’•You are not goln$ to take any risks now, you have too much to live for,” he said haltingly. “No, I’m to keep away from Belle Plain,” said Norton happily. "Bhe in­ state on that Everything is to be kept a secret until we are actually “It’s to be soon, then?” Carrington asked, still haltingly. There was a brief silence. Carring­ ton, with face averted, looked from the window. *T am going to stay here as long as you need me,” he presently sald. "Miss Mairoy asked me to, and then I am going back to the river, where 1 belong.” Betty ate supper with big Bteve standing behind her chair and little Steve balancing himself first on one foot and then ou the other near the door. The long French windows, their curtains drawn, stood open. She wandered down to the terrace. There was the sound of a step on the path. Betty turned. It was Carrington who stood before her, bis face haggard. Without a word be stepped to her side and took her bands rather rough­ ly. “What am I to do without you?”— his voice was almost a whisper. "What Is this thing you have done?” Betty's heart was beating with dull sickening throbs. “If you bad only come!" she moaned. “Now I am going to be mar­ ried tomorrow. I am to meet him at the Spring Bank church at ten o’clock." “How can I give you up?" he said, his voice hoarse with emotion. He put her from him almost roughly, and leaning against the trunk of a tree buried his face in his hands. Betty watched him for a moment in wretched silence. “It's good-by—“ he muttered. She went to him, and, as be bent above her, slipped her arms about hi* Deck. “Kiss me—" she breaued. He kissed her hair, her soft cheek, then their lips met He had reached the edge of the iks when from the silent depths of le denser woods came the sharp rejrt of a rifle.

He had left bls bed as the pale morning light crept across the great fields that were alike bls pride and his despair—what was the use of trying to sleep when sleep was an impossibility!

His own inclination toward evil was never robust; ho could have connived over a long period of years to despoil Betty of her property, but murder and abduction was quite an­ other thing. Three miles from Belle Plain be en­ tered a bridle path that led toward the river. A growth of small timber was standing along the water's edge, but as he drew nearer, those better­ ments which the resident of that lonely spot had seen fit to make for his own convenience, came under bls scrutiny; these consisted of a log cabin and several lesser sheds.

SMALL ACCOUNTS There are many persons in this community who feel, pos­ sibly, that their business does not warrant the keeping of a bank account, but who would, in reality, be greatly benefitted thereby. This is a mistaken idea. A bank account is val­ uable to every person who transacts business. You are enabled to keep your money where it is safe yet it is available in part or whole at any time. You can pay all bills by check. This gives you a receipt for every dollar paid, for all checks are returned to you after having been paid by your bank. The fact that you possess a bank account gives you a bet­ ter standing with business men and enables you to establish a credit with your bank when you have need of it.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED. Baldness is too Generally Considered ’ a Sign of Advanced Age. A bald-headed person does not have an equal chance with one bless­ ed with a healthy head of hair, be­ cause baldness is too generally ac­ cepted as an indication of age. Many large corporations have established an age limit, and refuse to take men over 35 years of age as new em­ ployees. Probably 65 per cent, of bald-head­ ed people may regain a good h^ad of healthy hair if they will follow our advice and accept our offer. We have a remedy that we positively guarantee to grow hair on any head, unless the roots of the hair are en­ tirely dead, their follicles closed, and the scalp has become glazed and shiny. We want people to try this remedy at our risk, with the distinct understanding that unless it does ex­ actly what we claim it will, and gives satisfaction io every respect, we shall make no charge for the remedy used during the trial. We know exactly what we are talk­ ing about, and with this offer back of our statements no one should scoff, doubt our word, or hesitate to put our remedy in an actual test. We want every one in Nashville •who is suffering from any scalp or hair trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or baldness to try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We want them to use it regularly—say until three bottles have been used—and if it does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse and re­ fresh the scalp, tighten the hair in Its roots, and grow new hair, we will return every cent paid us for the remedy for the mere asking. There is no formality expected, and we exact no obligation from the user whatever. We are established right here in Nashville, and make this offer with a full understanding that our busi­ ness success entirely depends upon the sort of treatment we accord our customers, and we would not dare make the above offer unless we were positively certain that we could sub­ stantiate It in every particular.

People who have farms they want to sell have their spring work well under way and don’t want to give possession until after harvest time. But it is not too late to plan right for another year. We have many farms we can sell now, to give possession this fall. That will give you the best chance in the world to make next year a big year. You can get wheat in, fall plowing done, get moved and settled, and plenty of time to get everything in ship shape for spring. You won’t have to pay all the money down—just pay enough so we know it is a sale, and pay the rest when you take possession. Get busy looking around now. Pick out what suits you, and be ready to get located and into the harness this fall. It will be a load off your mind. You will know what is ahead of you for the future, and you will have all summer to be making your preparations. We have two or three places on which we could give im­ mediate possession, if desired, but not many. Anyway, it is a good plan to get the habit of reading our advertisements, be­ cause we always have some good bargains ready for you, and frequently an exceptional one, in which there is a chance to make money right from the jump.

April 23.—Vice-Presi­ dent P. A. S. Franklin of the Interna­ tional Mercantile Marine company told the senate Investigating committee how be bad asked to have the earlier reports of the Titanic disaster held up to avoid unnecessary alarm. He denied any knowledge of the message addressed to Representative Hughes of West Virginia, aboi - c— ship being towed to Halifax, au't-o^ other details. V Bit by bit be contributed to the evi­ dence the senate is seeking to throw light on—the catastrophe that sank the Titanic, the pride of the seas, sent almost 1,600 people to their death and plunged the world Into mourning. After denying that officials of tbs White Star line had any knowledge of a misleading telegram to Mr. Hughes, it was acknowledged by Mr. Franklin that’ he bad issued reassuring state­ ments when he bad no facts on which to base them Capitalized at 1100,000,000. Mr. Franklin described the business operations and extent of the Interna­ tional Mercantile Marine. "What is its capitalization ?” asked Senator Smith. “One hundred million In common and preferred shares, 152,000,000 in 4% per cent bonds, >19,000.000 In 5 per cent bonds, and about >7,000,000 of un­ derlying bonds.” “Did you know Capt.

We did not hear from him in any way or shape.” Mr. Franklin said be had received no communication from Mr. Ismay except one by cable from Southampton. Senator Smith then showed Mr. Franklin the telegram received by Con­ gressman Hughes of West Virginia from the White Star line, dated New York. April 15, and addressed to J. A. Hughes, Huntington, W. Va., a> fol­ lows: 'Titanic proceeding to Halifax. Pas­ sengers probably land on Wednesday. All safe. THE WHITE STAR LINE.” "I ask you,” continued the senator, "whether you know about the sending of that telegram, by whom it was au­ thorized and from whom it was sentT’ “I do not, sir,” said Franklin. “Since it was mentioned at the Waldorf Satprday we have had the entire passen­ ger staff examined and we cannot find out. We appreciate the fact that on last Monday there were many junior clerks at work and there was great confusion. It is possible that someone who had no absolute information might have sent 1L T wish you would have the tele­ graph company turn over all the White Star messages to you so that we can see just what happened." Asked when he first knew' that the Titanic bad sunk, Franklin said he first knew it at 8:27 p. m. Monday. The reassuring statements sent out by the line in the early hours of the disaster were made the subject of in­ quiry. . “Tell the committee on what you based those statemenu," directed Sen­ ator Smith. “We based them on reports and ru­ mors received at Cape Race by Indi­ viduals and by the newspapers. They were rumors and we "could not place our finger on anything authentic." “Had you beard from the Carpathla at that time?” “No. sir." ’ la-nay Reaches Washington. Washington, April 22.—J.

Harold 8. Bride, who was relief op­ erator on the Titanic, said that when Chief Operator Phillips sent out the call for help the first answer came from the Frankfurt of the North Ger­ man Lloyd line. The operator on the Frankfurt, according to the witness, apparently considered the call trivial, for half an hour after receiving the imperative appeal he called the Ti­ tanic to inquire specifically Just what was wrong. "Mr. Phillips said he was a fool." Bride testified, "and told him to keep out, but did not tell him the Titanic was sinking." No effort was made to re-establish communication with the Frankfurt, al­ though Phillips felt certain the vessel was much nearer than the Carpathla. with which communication had been established. Bride Ignored Californian's Cali. Another phase of the laxity of the wireless service was developed when Chairman Smith drew from the wit­ ness an acknowledgment that Sunday evening Bride was sitting, the tele­ phonic apparatus strapped to bls ears, adjusting bls accounts, while the steamship California, seeking to warn the Titanic that icebergs were invad­ ing the lines of ocean travel, called in­ cessantly. Bride said be beard the call, but did not answer because he was "busy." It was not until & half hour later that the Californian, striving to reach the steamship Baltic, reached also the Titanic, whereupon the warn­ ing that three great icebergs had been sighted was noted by Bride and verbally communicated to the Titan­ ic’s captain. Both Bride and Thomas Cottan. wireles operator on the Carpathla. were mere boys, neither being over twenty-three years old. Ismay Tries to Escape. An effort on the part of J.

She clenched her elderly fists and grit her elderly-teeth and betook herself to the purser’s office. "There’s a woman in my stateroom." she announced acridly. ”an’ you can jest put her somewberos else. I don’t want to have a stranger in the room with nje.’ Tm sorry, madam, but it cant be helped. The boat Is so ciowded," said the purser. “I wouldn't of come at all ef I had a-known I’d have some other horrid passenger in the room with me," sulked the wizened little woman. “Oh, she isn’t a horrid paseanger," soothed the purser good naturedly. •'You’ll like her when you know her.” "Think sor sniffed Mia Betts sar­ castically. "You don’t know me." "Perhaps not "‘responded the purser, who knew Miss Brown’s father. “But there are few ladles who could help liking the captain’s daughter." "The captain’s daughter!” exclaim­ ed Miss Betts, somewhat mollified. “It might be an advantage to know the captain’s daughter." “It will be a great advantage,” said the purser confidently. “Shell ait at the captain’s table, of course, an’ she’ll know all the ship’s officers, I s’pose. An* maybe she’ll take me round an’ show me the whole ship an’ I never wes through a ship in my life." remarked Miss Betts, mus­ ingly. 'Oh, well, I guess she can stay," concluded the little woman, now completely restored to good humor. Then she bobbed away with her lit­ tle mincing steps and returning to her stateroom made herself pleasant in her own peculiar way to Miss Phillis Brown, whom she found sitting on the edge of the lower berth, groping in her handbag for a box of candy. “It’ll be real nice to have company,” re­ marked Miss Betts ingratiatingly. "I s’pose you won’t mind taking the up­ per berth. I ain’t so spry as I was.” “I won’t mind at all," assented Miss Brown. “Do you think your father’d approve of your eatin’ that candy just before puttin’ out to sea?" “I don’t think he’d mind," replied Miss Brown. "Won’t you have some?" "Oh, Lof, no! rd be sick as two cats ef I was to eat it Does your father ever git seasick?" “I believe be does sometimes," re­ sponded the young lady, looking cur­ iously at Miss Betts.

Prof. Appleton attended the Super­ intendents’ meeting at Lansing last week. Brave Soldiers. The week began with bright and sunny weather. It was In that season of the year that made every one feel like doing his best. The week was to decide a great battle. About 9:00 o’clock Monday morn­ ing the forces were drawn up. The Irreslstable student body of the N. S. H., with their flag, "The Blue Book” and motto, "If I can't finish high school In 4 years I will take five”, against the Irreproachable faculty, with their unfathomed resources in gray matter (called brains). / Of course the wonderful faculty, having unmeasured resources, could take ft easy while the army of the “Blue Books'* were planning attack. The "Blue Book” army was divided Into four divisions. 1st the Regi­ ment (namely Seniors), 2nd the Bat­ talion (namely Juniors), 3rd the Squadron (namely Sophomores)' and J lastly the Cavalry (namely Freshmen). The movements of the army the first day were: from early morn, In the forenoon____ ,, . __ while the regiment remained in camp preparing for the afternoon attack, the battalion, squadron and cavalry put three strongholds of the enemy to ruin, namely, “Fort English Hist­ ory”, "Mount Physics”, "Geometry 10", and the freshmen, with their "ponies”, raided "Castle of English In the afternoon while the brave senior regiment was battling with Col. Appelton's "Reviews”, the jun­ ior battalion and sophomore squad­ ron put both "Chemistry” and Eng­ lish 10” to flight, although this bat­ tle raged until the dusk of evening put an end to the fighting. The cavalary of freshmen still rushing their "ponies", divided in­ to halves and put an end to "gallla” and "botany”. The long and hard fought battles ended the first day’s fighting. Thus raged the battles for three days. Tho regiment suffered great­ ly from Col. Appleton's "American History Brigade". At the grand review, which follow­ ed on Thursday and Friday, the "Blue Books" ranks were found to be con­ siderably thinner. However, true to their motto, they will soon be back in the ranks.

If you happen to be walking on a New York street, and a man ap­ proaches you. wearing a shiny hat and a V-shaped beard, do not address him as “Little Whiskers," no matter how merry you may feeL For It is just possible that he may be Mayor Gaynor. Everyone knows that Mayor Gaynor believes in the complete liber­ ty of the citizen, and abominates the misuse of power by the police. Just the same, Horace, have a care. He had just completed writing an Impas­ sioned letter one recent day. in which he hung the police force by a hair over the bottomless pit because one of their number bad arrested a man without evidence for a conviction. And then Mayor Gaynor, who is a fond pedestrian, stamped out of bls office and across the Brooklyn bridge on bls way home. He encountered one Poco Charlie, who desired to be comforted with food and drink. "Get away," snapped his honor. “Aw,” said IJr. Poco Charlie, “yuh ain’t sore, are yuh. Little Whiskers7 Lemme rub youh'r brush for luck." Mayor Gaynor’s eyes are peculiarly cold and gray. Mr. Poco Charlie hastily abandoned his desire to stroke the mayor’s whispers. "They was bristlin’ so I think they'd a cut me,’* he confessed later, “and I’d likely come down wit’ blood poisonin'.” Mayor Gaynor went his way—which led to a police telephone on the bridge. Five minutes later the measured clomr of flat feet might have been heard approaching the spot. The plain clothes men were ordered out, to reprt a mendicancy in general, and in particular to lead Into grief and desolation the gent called Poco Charlie, who had addressed the mayor of our fair city as “Little Whiskers." For the remainder of the winter Mr. Charlie will be provided with quar­ ter* on Blackwell's Island. And the mendicants who had begun to swarm through the streets until they were almost as common as in Genersl Bing­ ham’s term as police commissioner, have largely faded. One mathematic­ ally inclined police officer discussed the event. “Poco Charlie," said he, “had 5,000,047 chances—according to the latest census of New York city— to win and one to lose. And when he called the mayor 'Little Whiskers' be picked that one chance and lost”— New York Letter to the Cincinnati Times-Star. Use For Over Thirty Yeers CfiSTORIA WHY BE SICK? WHY NOT HAVE GOOD HEALTH? Chiropractic Is the science that Is revolutionizing the healing of the sick. Chiropractic is the only science that removes disease. It upsets the old theories of disease and tho Chiro­ practor proves it by actual demon­ stration. You NEVER will have good health as long as there Is any pressure on your nerves, and NERVE FORCE Is cut off from various parts of the body. That is a condition that no drug will reach, and no medicine will cure. Chiropractic will remove the cause of disease, and will restore the body to its normal condition, s.nd NATURE does the curing. If interested, I would be pleased to have you call at my office for free analysis of your spinal column and I will tell you what organs or parte of your body are affected. In recommending the chiropractic adjustments, Fred Bush, a well known resident of Hastings says: "For a long time I was troubled with my stomach and also with rheu­ matism. I went to many doctors and took many kinds of medicine without obtaining satisfactory results. I have been compelled to diet and to put up with many of the inconveniences of 111 health. From doctors 1 obtained no relief. After receiving chiroprac­ tic adjustments from E. A. Simon, D. C., my condition became much im­ proved. My stomach became so much better that it was no longer necessary for mo to diet, and I can now eat anything. I am well pleased with the chiropractic adjustment for it has done wonders for me.

A half-hour elapsed and a mqp issued from the scattering growth of bushes that screened the shore. The newcomer crossed the clearing and entered the cabin. He was a young fellow of twenty-four or five, whose bronzed face wore a reckless expression. “Well, captain, what's doing?" he asked. “If anything's to be done, now is the time, Hues. What have you to report?" “Well, I’ve seen the council of each Clan division. They are ripe to start this thing off.” Murrell gave him a moment of moody regard. "Twice already I'vo named the day and hour, but now I’m going to. put it through!” He set his teeth and thrust out his jaw. “Captain, you're the greatest fellow in America! Inside of a week men who have never been within five hun­ dred miles of you will be asking of each other who John Murrell is!" Murrell had expected to part with Hues then and there and for ail time, but Hues possessed qualities which might still be of use. "Hues, you must start back across Tennessee.

"Did you walk out. Judge Price?" asked Betty kindly. "Nothing more than a healthful ex­ ercise—but we will not detain you. ma'am; the pleasure of seeing you Is something we had not reckoned on!" The judge's speech was thick and unctuous with good feeling. He wished that Mahaffy might have been there to note the reserve and dignity of his deportment. “But you must let me order lunch­ eon for you," said Betty. At least this questionable old man was good to Hanhlbal. “I couldn't think of it, ma’am—" “You’ll have a glass of wine, then," urged Betty hospitably. For the mo­ ment she had lost sight of what waa clearly the judge’s besetting sin. The judge paused abruptly. He en­ dured a moment of agonizing Irreso­ lution. "On the advice of my physician 1 dare not touch wine—gout, ma’am, and liver—but this restriction does not apply to corn wbtaky—In moderar tlon, and as a tonic—either before meals, immediately after meals or at any time between meals—always keeping in mind the Idea of Its tonic properties—" The judge seemed to mellow and ripen. This was much better than having the dogs sicked on you! Hte manner toward Betty be­ came almost fatherly. Poor young thing, so lonely and desolate in the midst of all this splendor—be surrep­ titiously wiped away a tear, and when little Steve presented himself and was told to bring wnlsky, audibly smacked his Ups—a, whole lot better, surely! “I am sorry you think you must hurry away. Judge Price," said Betty. She still retained tbe small brown hand Hannibal had thrust Into hers. "The eastern mall gets In today, ma’am, and I have reason to think my share of it will be especially heavy, for it brings the bulk of my professional correspondence.” In ten years the judge had received just one communication by mall—a bill which bad fallowed him through four states and seven counties. "I ex­ pect my secretary—" boldly fixing Solomon Mahaffy’s status, "Is already dipping into it; an excellent assist­ ant, ma’am, but literary rather than legal” Little Steve reappeared bearing a silver tray on whies, was a decanter and glass. "Since you insist, ma’am,” the judge poured himself a drink, "my best re­ spects—” he bowed profoundly. ”If you are quite willing, judge, 1 think I will keep Hannibal. Miss Bowen, who has been here—since—" her voice broke suddenly. "I understand, ma’am,” said the judge soothingly. He gave her a glance of great concern and turned to Hannibal. “Dear lad, you’ll be very quiet and obedient, and do exactly as Miss Malroy says? When shall 1 come for him, ma’am?” “I’ll send him to you when he is ready to go homo. I am thinking of visiting my friends in North Caro­ lina, and I should like to have him spend as much time as possible with me before I start for the east” It hud occurred to Betty that she had dore little or nothing for the child; probably this would be her last opportunity. The state of tbs judge’s feelings was such that with elaborate ab­ sence of mind he poured himself a second drink of whisky; and that there should be ’no doubt the act was one of inadvertence, said again, "My best respects, ma’am," and bowed as before. Putting down the glass, he backed toward the door. “I trust you will not hesitate to call upon me if I can be of any use to you, ma’am—a message will bring hie here without a moment's delay.' He Was rather disappointed that no allusion had been made to his recent activities. He reasoned correctly that Betty was as yet in ignorance of tho somewhat dangerous eminence ho had achieved as the champion of law and order. However, he reflected with satisfaction that Hannibal, in re­ maining, would admirably serve hla ends. Betty Insisted that he should bo driven home, and after faintly protest­ ing, the judge gracefully yielded the point, and a few momenta later rolled away from Belle Plain behind a pals of sleek-coated bays, with a negro in livery on the box. He was conscious of a great sense of exaltation. Ho felt that he should paralyze Mahaffy. He eveq^temporarlly forgot the blow his hopes had sustained when Betty spoke of returning to North Carolina. This was life—broad acres and nig­ gers—principally to trot after yoq toting liquor—and such liquor! " ' —'he lolled back luxuriantly with halfclosed eyes. “Twenty years in the wood if an hour!” he muttered. "I’d___________ just such a taste in my mouth when J come to die and probably she has barrels of it!” be sighed deeply, and searched his soul for words with which adequately to describe that whisky to Mahaffy. But why not do more than paralyze Solomon—that would be pleasant but not especially profitable. The judge came back quickly to the vexed prob­ lem of his future. He desired to make some striking display of Miss Malroy's courtesy. He knew that bls credit was experiencing the pangs ot an early mortality; he was not sensi­ tive, yet for some days he had been sensible of the fact that what he called the commercial class was view­ ing him with open disfavor; but he must bang on in Raleigh a little long­ er—for him It bad become the abode of hope. The judge considered the matter. At least be could let people see something of that decent respect with which Miss Malroy treated him. They were entering Raleigh now, end he ordered the coachman to pull his horses down to a walk. He bad decided to make use of the Bello Plain turnout in creating an atmos­ phere of confidence and trust—espe­ cially trust To this end he spent the best part of an hour Interviewing bis creditors. It amounted almost to a mass-meeting of the adult male pop­ ulation, for be had no favorites. When he invaded virgin territory hebelleved in starting the largest pos­ sible number ot accounts without de­ lay. The advantage of bia system, as he explained its workings to Mahaffy, was that it bred a noble spirit of emu­ lation. He let it be known in a general way that things were looking up with him; just in what quarter he did not specify, but there he was, seated tai the Belle Plain carriage, and the in-| ference was unavoidable that Miss! Malroy was to recognise his activities in a substantial manner. (TO BE CONTINUED.) IT LOOKS LIKE A CRIME To separate a box from a box of Buckten's Arnica Salve.

"Good news travel fast,” and the thousands of bad back sufferers !n Nashville are glad to learn that prompt relief is within their reach. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are tell­ ing the good news of their experience with the old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading. Milton Bradley, Gregg St., Nash­ ville, Mich., says: "I have receiv­ ed great benefit from Doan's Kidney Pills. My kidneys troubled me for years, the secretions being highly colored, too frequent in passage and filled with sediment. I suffered intensely from bacKUcbe and in the morning upon arising my back was lame and weak. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply from Furniss’ drug store and the contents of two boxes improved niy condition in every way. I am now free from backache, rest well and have but little trouble from my kidneys." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

PHONE 1B0 FOR PRICES ON YOUR PRODUCE Professor Filibert Ruth Will Not Go­ to C-onwO. Professor Filibert Roth, who re­ cently accepted a call from Cornell] to assume direction of the forestry work there, has reconsidered bis de­ cision and will remain at the Univer­ sity of Michigan. He has already tendered his resignation from the Cornell appointment. AH - those who realize how serious would be the loss sustained, not only by the University, but by th© state at large, in the event of Professor Roth's resignation from the Michigan facul­ ty, received the news of his deci­ sion with much enthusiast. When It is understood that the Cornell offer carried with it a very substan­ tial increase in salary and that Pro­ fessor Roth will remain at Michigan at his former salary, his devotion to the Forestry School which ho has placed in the front ranks of th-s. world's greatest schools, stands out' as a splendid thing to contemplate. It was pretty generally under­ stood that many of the forestry stu­ dents intended transferring to Cor­ nell, so that they might continue their work with Professor Roth. President Hutchins and the Re­ gents were thoroughly alive to the gravity of the situation and took im­ mediate action for the purpose of saving Michigan’s great Forestry school. As a result of their efforts, more adequate facilities will be pro­ vided for meeting the increased re­ quirements of forestry work. First of all, the teaching staff will be enlarged, so that at least five men will comprise the forestry faculty. Further, more commodious quarters for the conduct of the work will be, provided. It is rumored that the Tappan school building, located acros from tbe campus on East Uni­ versity street, will be purchased for the purpose. To enable the forest­ ry students to carry on more ^exten­ sive field work a "school forest,” containing at least 1000 acres of both wooded and cleared land, will be added to the present forestry farm of eighty acres. An effort will be made to secure land near Ann Arbor, so that students may have ready occess to the field work. , More than all this, it is contem­ plated to conduct a forestry exten­ sion service in the interest of for­ estry conservation throughout ' . the state. It will be Professor Roth's purpose, not only to maintain the high professional efficiency. -which lias characterized the “ work of the school 1 nthe part, but to ex­ tend the influence of the school in an effective public service. The University Forestry School was established by Professor Roth in 1913 with only nine regular forestry students, though there were twenty men in the University who signified their Intentions of making forestry their profession. Two men, gradu­ ates of Cornell, received the A. M. degrees that first year. In 1905 there were 4 1 students in attendance, thirteen of whom were graduate stu­ dents. This year there are over 150 men in the Forestry School, which Is now the largest school in America and one of the very few large schools in the world. The present graduat­ ing class numbers twenty-eight men. The Scope of the Work in Civil En­ gineering to be Enlarged. Preliminary plans for the rear-* rangement and consequent enlarge­ ment of the University have alreadv been drawn up. Five new sub-de­ partments of structural, hydraulic, and geodetic engineering will be created. This proposed reorganization is in keeping with the rapid progress made during the past few years in the engineering world. The work in structural engineering will com­ prise stress in framed structures, roofs and bridges, etc. River and harbor engineering will be included under hydraulic engineering. Trans­ portation engineering takes up the problems of electric railways and road construction. Water supply and purification will be studied in connection with municipal and sani­ tary engineering, while general sani­ tary science and municipal engineer­ ing problems will be taken up in the geodetic department. The plan will go into effect next fail. It is confidently believed that this broad extension of work will make a wide appeal to prospective engineering throughout the country.

OPPORTUNITY TT IS NOW TOO LATE to A buy a farm for this season. People who have farms they want to sell have their spring work well under way and don’t want to give possession until after harvest time. But it is not too late to plan right for another year. We have many farms we can sell now, to give possession this fall. That will give you the best chance in the world to make next year a big year. You can get wheat in, fall plowing done, get moved and settled, and plenty of time to get everything in ship shape for spring. You won’t have to pay all the money down-~just pay enough so we know it is a sale, and pay the rest when you take possession. Get busy looking around now. Pick out what suits you, and be ready to get located and into the harness this fall. It will be a load off your mind. You will know what is ahead of you for the future, and you will have all summer to be making your preparations. We have two or three places on which we could give im­ mediate possession, if desired, but not many. Anyway, it is a good plan to get the habit of reading our advertisements, be­ cause we always have some good bargains ready for you, and frequently an exceptional one, in which there is a chance to make money right from the jump. Master of human destinies am I; Fame, Love and Fortune on my footsteps wait; Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late, I knock upbidden, once at every gate.

I :<:.t 5£ The time has passed when automobiles can be sold to you on their appearances or claims. This is a day when you and every purchaser must be shown what the car for which you pay your money will actually perform; what it will do. w Beware of an automobile salesman who attempts to beguile you with a pleasing story. Tell him to show the goods and prove to you that his cars are Werth the money. Find out whether his car is a real car or only an assembled automobile built to sell. You have a right to your money's worth, but it is up to you to see that you get it Deeper than, all appearances, there are a few expert tests which ought to be applied to every car. Who makes the car? Is it an as' mbled car or made from top to bottom by one manufacturer? What kind of a guarantee is on it? Does the manufacturer respect his own product with a real guarantee, or does he want you to take the chance? What do parts cost you and how conveniently can you get them ? How many cars of this make are in service and how many are giving satisfaction? Questions like these go deep into the heart of the case, and if you put them rigorously upon any car you will find out with a certainty whether or not that car is worth its price. We are selling Studebaker E-M-F ‘‘30” and Flanders “20 cars because we know that, dollar for dollar, their equal is not sold in the market today. The records of many thousands of cars in all kinds of service have convinced us absolutely. Studebaker E M-F“30"and Flanders “20” cars are built to run. and because they run they sell. If we cannot prove to you under the most searching test that Studebaker cars are absolutely the best automobile values in the market, we do not want your business; but we can prove it. and your neighbors who drive these cars will tell you the same thing. Be an expert when it comes to buying a car. You can, by getting from us some further ideas on real tests of an automobile. Clip the attached coupon and send it to us now because we have something new to tell you which you ought to know, whatever car you have in mind.

NUMBER 38 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1912 VOLUME XXXIX We make them satisfac­ Why have some stranger charge you several prices when our charges are reasonable and we are always here to make them right? Von W. Furniss A joyous air of prosperity, min­ gled with the music of hammers and saws, Is emanating from the Hardendorf addition this week. The pres­ ent month promises to be a very one for local masons and carpenters, they being taxed to their utmost to keep up with the demand for new homes. Houses for sale or rent have been scarce in the village for some time, and a majority of the families who have recently located here have purchased lots in the new addition and are building homes of their own. In fact the town has been steadily growing in that di­ rection tor several years, the plotting of the land last summer aiding to a great extent the present boom. Roy Bivens was one of the first to erect a home in the addition. His house is located on the corner of Lents and Gregg streets, and with the exception of some inside finish­ ing, is ready for occupancy. Lyman Brown, a retired Castleton farmer, is building a seven-room house on the corner of Reed and Lentz streets. He has bis barn completed and is occupying the same until the house is finished. The frame work is «up and the carpenters are progressing rapidly. Harvey Troxel owns the lot just east of Lyman Brown’s on Reed street, and has the wall completed for his house. He has his barn erected. Sam Varney has purchasd the lot east of Mr. Troxel’s, and is plannng to build a house there. H. F. Remington has bought the lot south of Mr. Bivens’, on the cor­ ner of Lentz and Gregg streets, and Is building a house. He has the wall completed and the carpenters have commenced work. ELEVATOR CHANGES HANDS. J. B. Marshall, after 23 years in the elevator business in Nashville, has decided to retire, and has sold his • elevator to Willard Vlemaster and John Martin of Bellevue. Pos­ session Is to be given June first. Nashville people will be glad to learn that Mr. Marshall will not leave Nashville, but will devote his time and attention to other matters, and will continue to make his home here, where he and his family have a large number of friends. The new owners o£ the elevator are the sort of men any town may be glad to welcome. Mr. Viemaster, who will movt?here at once, has been for many years a farmer of Bellevue township, and is not a stranger to Nashville people, and his wife, who was forerly Miss Sylvia Klnne, is a Nashville girl. Mr. Martin is high­ way commissioner of Bellevue town­ ship. and will not come to Nashville just at present, as he wishes to com­ plete the season's work which be has laid out. W. H. Ackett, for the past several years in the employ of Mr. Marshall, will remain with the new firm in his former capacity. The sale of the Marshall property was made by the Nashville Real Es­ tate Exchange, and Is the second large deal which they have closed up within the past two weeks. SUNDAY CONCERT. The summer season at Putnam Park was auspiciously opened Sun­ day with a concert by the local band. Light showers threatened In the fore­ noon but soon passed over and the afternoon was as rare as a day in June. A goodly number of Nash­ ville Deople, as well as a few from our neighboring villages, were pres­ ent to enjoy the music. These Sun­ day concerts, as manifested last sum­ mer. help arouse the people to the beauties of the local park, which has just commenced to assume its sum­ mer cloak of green, and also furnish an excellent diversion for those who are compelled to remain In the vil­ lage over Sunday. The enjoyment derived should warrant some moans belna provided for continuing them at intervals during the summer months. The band boys have made excellent progress in the past year and are a credit both to their organi­ zation and to the village. HARVEST FE8TIV\L MEETING. A harvest festival meeting will be held at the Nashville Club Auditor­ ium, Monday evening. May 13, 1912. Now, let every one. Interested or dis­ interested, be present and express his views. Then whatever the major­ ity wants should be worked for with all our might. It is your festival, if you are a resident of Nashville, and you should be interested enough to attend, especially if you have any criticisms to make. The meeting is open to all. Be sure and attend. President H. F. Ass’n. NASHVILLE BOY INJURED. Ivan Surine, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Surine of this place, who has been working for some time past in a creamery at Shultz, was caught in the machinery one day last week and his body -badly mangled. He was taken to Kalamazoo where be is being cared for at the home of his sister Cornelia. The doctors consider an operation necessary for his recovery, but as yet he has not decided to sub­ mit to one. CLEAN UP DAY IN MICHIGAN. Realizing and appreciating the inestimable good accomplished by our “Clean Up Day In Michigan" of last year and desiring this year to get the full benefit of an earlier date, we have designated May 15th as "Clean Up Day" for 1911. The fire losses in Michigan,.for the past eleven months, as reported to this department, will exceed 34,000,­ 000.00. With this appalling loss to property in mind, will you not use your best efforts on this day, in the elimination of hazardous conditions, and In securing the co-operation of of all the people of this state, in such work, so that this fearful loss to property may be materially reduced? To "clean up” does not mean sim­ ply the removal of rubbish, but it means the seeking out and removal of anything that tends to increase the fire hazard. Make this day a special occasion for the use of your authori­ ty In the matter of inspections; do not be satisfied with superficial work, but seek out the hidden dangers, and secure their removal; let this day je not less fruitful in results than the “Clean Up Day” of last year.

Each class and variety has a characteristic shape peculiar to Itself. For example, Silver King corn has an ear of me­ dium length, large in circumference, while the Golden Glow has an ear con­ siderably shorter and finer in cob and general conformation. The most desirably shaped ear is cylindrical from butt to tip. Where ears are Inclined to taper, it will bo noticed that two or four rows, as a rule, are dropped near the middle of the ear. In scoring corn, take Into consideration the soil and climatic con­ ditions in which the corn is grown. The shape of a desirable ear for cen­ tral Illinois would differ in many re­ spects from the shape most desirable for Wisconsin. The shorter growing season in Wisconsin demands a shal­ lower kernel and a smaller ear to en­ able the corn to mature in a short season. The color of the grain should bo uni­ form and true to the color standard for tbe variety, free from missing or discolored kernels. • The color of the cob should bo a bright cherry red for yellow corn and J pure white for white corn. The color of the corn varies with I the breed. The Silver King corn has a cream color, while the Boone Coun­ ty White has a pearly white color. Where these shades predominate they become characteristic of the breeds. Yellow breeds vary slightly In color from a pale yellow to a deep orange, and can only be known by a thorough acquaintance. A bright cherry red cob denotes health and vigor in corn and a pale or dark red cob denotes lack of constitu­ tion or vitality. The white corn cobs should be a glistening white and aot a dead pale color. Some farmers prefer to grow corn of certain colors. From tests made by breeders of corn, and by experiment stations, it has been found that in general, color makes no difference so far as feeding value is concerned, and it is merely a matter of choice of the grower as to the color of corn he de- Hamstead Heath may yet contain a precious relic of Charles Lamfe- “One • summer’s evening,” writes Hone, "I was walking on Hampstead Heath with Charles Lamb, and we had talked ourselves into a philosophic contempt of our slavery to the habit of snuff tak­ ing, and with tne flrm resolution of never again taking a srngle pinch we threw our snuffboxes away from the hill on which we stood, far among tbe furze and brambles below, and went home in triumph; I began to be very miserable, was wretched all night; in the morning I was walking on the same hill; I saw Charles Lamb betow, searching among tne bushes; be looked up laughing, and saying, “What, you are come to look for your snuff­ box too!’ " ’Ob, no,’ said I. taking a pinch out of a paper in my waistcost pocket, ’I went for a halfpenny worth to the Market condition means general ex­ first shop that was open.’ ’’—London cellence and the degree of ripeness or Chronicle. maturity.

Corn will gradually become accus­ tomed to its surroundings and will ad­ just itself to varying conditions of soil and climate. By selecting those ears for weed that show good market con­ dition, even if there be but a few in the entire field, the earllness of the corn can be improved materially. Tbe kernels should extend over the tip of the ear In regular rows, and be uniform In size and shape. They should extend over the butt of the ear tn reg­ ular rows and be well developed and uniform. A perfect tip has a central kernel called the cap, which is completely surrounded with uniform kernels. A perfect tip la rarely found, but those which come nearest to the ideal should be chos’n, provided it Is Dot at tbe ex­ pense of other more important factors. ly mature. All ears which have butts improperly filled should be rejected. Corn breeders in desiring to get a large proportion of corn to the cob, often choose ears with too small un at­ tachment for the shank. The butt and the tip kernels are rejected for plant­ ing, because they are more likely to bo mixed with other varieties and owing to their peculiar formation, they are not uniform, and interfere In tbe planting. They also seem weaker in germination and are more tardy in , , . Type* of Good Eara.

Kernels should bo of perfect wedge shape, narrower or wider at the point, according to the variety characteris­ tics. They should be uniform in shape, size and color and true to the type or variety. The crown or big end of the kernel should be such that the edges of the kernels slope from tip to crown. Tbe tip of the kernel, which is tbe part attached to tbe cob and contains the germ is rich in protein and oil and of the highest feeding value. For this reason a plump tip usually Indi­ cates vitality. The kernels on the cob may be ir­ regular, being deeper at tbe butt than at the tip. This makes the kernels non-uniform in size and renders the corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No machine will plant kernels of this type so as to get a uniform stand. Kernels with weak or shriveled tips should be discarded, no matter how well the outside of the ear may look. At least 85 per cent, of the oil in the kernel is in the' germ, hence corn with well formed germs is desirable. Tests by tbe Illinois experiment sta­ tion show that the oil In corn may vary from 2% to 7% per cent, and protein from 6ft to 16 per cent. It seed corn contains a largo amount of protein and oil the crop grown from this seed will be high In these desir­ able features. Standard measurements for corn produced in northern, middle and southern Wisconsin, are as follows: Length, northern section 8 to 9 inches, central, 8 ft, to 9ft inches, southern 8ft to 9ft inches. Long ears are objection­ able because they usually have poor butts and tips, shallow kernels and hence a low per cent of grain to the ear. In general the circumference should be three-fourths the length. The standards for various sections in Wisconsin are: Northern 6 to 6ft inches, central 6ft to 7 Inches, south­ ern 7 to 7ft Inches.

May 6.—With the prob­ ability of war with Mexico and possi­ bly with Japan staring the country in the face, comprehensive and spec­ tacular plans for the organization of a great aerial army powerful enough to defend the entire coast line of the United States, the Philippines, Ha­ waii and Panama are now complete at the department of war. In addition to coast defense and the defense of the Island possessions, the plan as drawn up by tbe war depart­ ment comprehends tbe organization of at least three aerial squadrons for each division of troops in tbe regular army and a squad of extra powerful machines for long distance reconnols sauce in connection with each general army that may take the field. ’ Provide Special Aeroplanes. A number of special machines are provided for use with tbe field artil­ lery.

Following one of the shock rows they hurried to tho mouth of the lane. "Hannibal.

Miss Betty, if they knew ■what she’d done?" speculated the boy. It occurred to him that an adequate ex­ planation of their flight would require preparation, since the judge was at all times singularly alive to the slight­ est discrepancy of statement. They bad issued from the corn Held and went along the road toward Raleigh. Suddenly Betty paused. “Hark!” she whispered. “It were nothing, Miss Betty," said Hannibal reassuringly, and they hur­ ried forward again. In the utter still­ ness through which they 4oved Betty heard tbe beating of her own heart, and the soft and all but Inaudible pat­ ter of the boy's bare feet on the warm dust of the road. Vague forms that resolved themselves into trees and bushed seemed to creep toward them cut of the night's black uncertainty. Once more Betty paused. “It were nothing, Miss Betty," said Hannibal as before,,and he returned to his consideration uf tbe judge. He sensed something of that Intellectual nimbleness which his patron's physical make-up in nowise suggested, since his face was a mask that usually left one in doubt as to just bow much of what he heard succeeded in making its impression on him; but the boy knew that Slocum Price’s blind side was a shelterless exposure. “You don't think the carriage could have passed us while we were cross­ ing the corn-field?” said Betty. “No, I reckon we couldn’t a-mlssed hearing it,” answered HannlbaL He had scarcely spoken when they caught the rnttle of wheels and the beat of hoofs. These sounds swept nearer and nearer, and the darkness disgorged the Belle Plain team and carriage. “George!” cried Betty, a world of relief in her tones. "Whoa, you!" and George reined in his horses with a jerk. “Who’s dar?” he asked, bending forward on the box as he sought to pierce the darkness with bls glance. "Hold on, nigger!" said a rough voice out of the darkness. "What yo’ doin'?” tbe coachman gasped. “Doo’ yo’ know dis de Belle Plain carriage? Take yo' han’s offen dem bosses* bits!” Two men stepped to the side of the carriage. "Show your light. Bunker," said the same rough voice that bad spoken be­ fore. Instantly a hooded lantern was uncovered, and Hannibal uttered a cry of terror. He was looking into the face of Slosson, the tavern-keeper. CHAPTER XIX. Prisoner*. In the face of Betty’s indignant pro­ test Slosson and the man named Bunker climbed into the carriage. "Don’t you be scared, ma'am," said the tavern-keeper, who smelt strongly of whisky. "I wouldn’t lift my band ag'in no good-looking female except in kindness ” “How dare you stop ray carriageT‘ cried Betty, with a very genuine an­ ger which for the moment dominated all her other emotions. She struggled to her feet, but Slosson put out a heavy hand and thrum her back. “There now,” he urged soothingly. “Why make a fuss? We ain’t going to harm you; we wouldn't for no sum qf money. Drive on, Jim—drive like hell!” This last was addressed to tho man who bad taken George’s place on the box, where a fourth member of Slosson’s bond had forced the coachman down Into the narrow space between the seat and dashboard, and was bolding a pistol to his bead while he sternly enjoined silence. With a word to the horses Jim swung about and the carriage rolled off through tbe night at a breakneck pace. Betty's shaking bands drew Hannibal closer to her side as she felt the surge of her terrors rise with­ in ber. Who were these men—where could they be taking her—and for what purpose? The events of the past week linked themselves in tragic se­ quence in her mind. What was it she had to fear? Was it Tom for whom these men were acting? Tom who would profit greatly by her dis­ appearance or death! They swept past the entrance at Belle Plain, past a break In the wall of the forest where tbe pale light of stars showed Betty tbe cornfield she and Hannibal bad but lately crossed, and then on into pitchy darkness again. She clung to tbe desperate hope that they might meet some one on the road, when she could cry out and give tbe alarm. She held herself in readiness for this, but there was only the steady pounding of the big bays as Jim with voice and whip urged them forward. At last he ab­ ruptly checked them, and Bunker and Slosson sprang from their seats. "Get down, ma'am!" said the lat“Where are you taking me?” naked Betty, in a voice that ebook in spite of her efforts to control it "You must hurry, ma'am,” urged Sloseon impatiently. “I won’t move until I know where you Intend taking me!” said Betty. Mr. Slosson laughed loudly and in­ dulgently. "You ain't If you don't want to walk, I’m man enough fo’ to tote you. We ain't far to go, and I've tackled jobs I'd a heap less heart fo* In my time," he concluded gallantly. From the opposite side of the carriage Bunker swore nervously. He desired to know if they were to stand there talking all night. "Shut your filthy mouth. Bunker, and see you keep tight hold of that young rip-stover,” said Slosson. “He’s a perfect eel—I’ve had dealings with him afore!” “You tried to kill my Uncle Bob— at the tavern, you and Captain Mur­ rell.

A moment later Betty -- —reared and plunged. I but none of ’em was like him—1 trained 'em up to the minute!" Mr. Slosson seemed to have baased com­ pletely under tbe spell of bls domes­ tic recollections, for he continued with just a touch, of reminiscent sad­ ness in his tone. 'There was all told four Mrs. Slossons: two of ’em was South Carolinians, one was from Geor­ gia, and the last was a widow lady out of east Tennessee. She'd burled three husbands, and I figured we could start perfectly even." The in­ trinsic fairness of this start made Its strong appeal. Mr. Slosson dwelt up­ on it with satisfaction. “She bad three to her credit, I had three to mine; neither, could crow none over the other.” . As they stumbled forward through the thick obscurity he continued his personal revelations, the present en­ terprise having roused whatever there was of sentiment slumbering tn his souL At last they came out on a wide bayou; a white mist hung above it, and on tbe low shore leaf and branch were dripping with the night dews. Keeping close to the water’s edge Slosson led the way to a point where a skiff was drawn up on the bank. ^‘Step In, ma’am,” be said, when be had launched IL “I will go no farther!" said Betty in desperation. She felt an over­ mastering fear, the full horror of the unknown lay hold of her, and she gave a piercing cry for help. Slosson swung about on his heel and seized her; For a moment she struggled to escape, but the man's big hand pinioned her. "No more of that!" he warned, then he recovered himself and laughed. "You could yell till you was black tn the face, ma’am, and there'd be no one to hear you." "Where are you taking me?” and Betty’s voice faltered between tbe sudden sobs that choked her. "Just across to George Hicks’s.” “For what purpose?" "You'll know in plenty of time.” And Slosson leered at her through the darkness. ! "Hannibal is to go with me?" asked Betty tremulously. “Sure!” agreed Slosson affably. "Your nigger, too—quite a party.” Betty stepped into tbe skiff. She felt her hopes quicken—she was think­ ing of Bcm, whatever thetgirl's mo­ tives, she had wished her to escape; She would wish it now more than ever since the very thing she had striven to prevent bad happened. Slosson seated himself and took up tho oars, Bunker followed with Han­ nibal and they pushed off. No word was spoken until they disembarked on the opposite shore, when Slosson ad­ dressed Bunker. "I reckon I can manage that young rip-staver; you go back after Sherrod and the nigger," he sold. He conducted his captives up tbe bank and they entered a clearing. Looking across this Betty saw where, a cabin window framed a single square of light. They advanced to­ ward this and presently the dark out­ line of the cabinet itself became dis­ tinguishable. A moment later Slos­ son paused, a door yielded to his hand, and Betty and the boy were thrust Into the room where Murrell had held his conference with Fentress and Ware. The two women were now its only occupants, and the mother, gross and shapeless, turned an ex­ pressionless face on the intruders; but the daughter shrank into the shadow, her burning glance fixed on Betty. "Here's yo* guests, old lady!" said Mr. Slosson. Mrs. Hicks rose from the three-legged stool on which she was sitting. "Hand me the candle, Bess,” she ordered. At dne side of tbe room was a steep flight of stairs which gave access to the loft overhead. Mrs. Hicks, by a gesture, signified that Betty and Han­ nibal were to ascend these stairs; they did so and found themselves on a narrow landing Inclosed by a par­ tition of rough planks; this partition was pierced by a low door. Mrs. Hicks, who had followed close at their heels, banded tbe candle to Bet- “In yonder!" she said briefly, nod­ ding toward the door. "Wait!” cried Betty in a whisper. "No,” said the woman with an al­ most masculine surliness ot tone. “1 got nothing to say." She pushed them into the attic, and, closing the door, fastened it with a stout wooden bar. Beyond that door, which seemed to have closed on every hope, Betty held the tallow dip aloft, and by its uncer­ tain and flickering light surveyed ber prison. Tbe briefest glance sufficed. The room contained two shake-down beds and a stool; there was a window in the gable, but a piece of heavy plank was spiked before it “Miss Betty, don’t you be scared,” whispered Hannibal “When the judge “Miss Betty, if we could just get out of this loft we could steal their skiff and row down to the river; 1 reckon they got just the one boat; tke only way they could get to us would be to swim out, and if they done that we could pound ’em over the head-with the oars—the least lit­ tle thing sinks you when you’re in the water." But this murderous fancy of his failed to Interest Betty. Presently they heard Sherrod and Bunker come up from the shore with George. Slosson joined them and there was a brief discussion, then an interval of silence, and tbe sound of voices again as the three white men moved back across the field in tbe direction of the bayou. There suc­ ceeded a period ot utter stillness, both in the cabin and in the clear­ ing, a somber hush that plunged Bet­ ty yet deeper in despair. Wild thoughts assailed her. thoughts against which she struggled with all tbe strength of ber will. In that hour of stress Hannibal was sustained by his faith in the judge. He saw his patron's powerful and picturesque Intelligence applied to solving the mystery of their disap­ pearance from Belle Plain; it was in­ conceivable that this could prove otherwise than disastrous to Mr. SlosBon, and he endeavored to share the confidence be was feeling with Betty, but there was something so forced and unnatural in the girl’s voice and manner when she discussed his con­ jectures that he quickly fell into an awed silence. At last, and it must have been some time after midnight, troubled slumbers claimed him. No moment of forgetfulness came to Bet­ ty. She was waiting for what—she did not know! The candle burnt low­ er and lower and* finally went out and she was left In darkness, but again she was conscious of sounds from the room below. At first it v;as only a word or a sentence, then the guarded speech became a steady monotone that ran deep Into tbe night. Even­ tually this ceased and Betty fancied she heard sobs. “Betty!” the single word fell softlyfrom his Ups. He stepped Into the room, closing the door as he did so. _>■ The girl’s eyes were dilating with a mute horror, for by some swift. In­ tuitive process of the mind, which, asked nothing of the logic of events, but dealt only with conclusions, Mur­ rell stood revealed as Norton's mur­ derer. Perhaps he read ber thoughts, but be bad lived In bia degenerate ambitions until the common judg­ ments or the understanding of them no longer existed for him. That Bet­ ty had loved Norton seemed inconse­ quential even; it was a memory to greater passion. So he watched her smilingly, but back of the smile was the menace of unleashed impulse. "Can't you find some word ot wel­ come* for me, Betty?” he asked at length, still softly, still with some­ thing qf entreaty in his tone. * “Then it was you—not Tom—who had me .brought here!” She could have thanked God bad it been Tom, whose hate was not to be feared as she feared this man's love. “Tom—no!" and Murrell laughed. “You didn't think I’d give you up? 1 am standing with a halter about my neck, and ail for your sake—who'd CHAPTER XX. Murrell Shows Hla Hand, At length points of light began to show through chinks in tbe logs. Han­ nibal roused and sat up, rubbing his eyes with the backs of bls hands. "Wasn't you able to sleep none?” he inquired. Betty shook her bead. Ho looked at her with an expression ot troubled concern. “How soon do you reckon the Judge will know?” be asked. “Very soon now, dear." Hannibal was greatly consoled by this opinion. "Miss Betty, he will love, to find "Hark! What was that?" for Betty bad caught the distant splash of oars. Hannibal found • chink In tho Jogs through which by dint of much squint­ ing be secured a partial view of tbe bayou. "They're fetching up a keel boat to the shore, Miss Betty—It’s a whoop­ er!" he announced. Betty’s heart sank; she never doubted the purpose for which that boat was brought into the bayou, or that it nearly concerned herself. Half an hour later Mrs. Hicks ap­ peared with their breakfasL it was in vain that Betty attempted to en­ gage her in conversation. Either nhe cherished some personal feeling of dislike for- her prisoner, or else tbe situation in which she herself was placed had little to recommend it, even to her dull mind, and her dis­ satisfaction was expressed in her at­ titude toward the girL Betty passed the long hours of morning in dreary speculation con­ cerning what was happening at Belle' Plain. In tbe end she realized that the day could go by and her absence1 occasion no alarm. Steve might rea­ sonably suppose George had driven her into Raleigh or to the Bowens’ and that she had kept the carriage. Finally all her hope centered on Judge Price. He would expect Hannibal dur­ ing tbe morning; perhaps when the boy did not arrive he would be tempt­ ed to go out to Belle Plain to dis­ cover tbe reason of his non-appear­ ance. She wondered what theories wcrild offer themselves to his in­ genious mind, for she sensed some­ thing of that indomitable energy which in the face of rebuffs and laugt.er carried him Into the thick of every sensation. At noon Mrs. Hicks, as sullen as in the morning, brought them their din­ ner. She had scarcely quitted the loft when a shrill whistle pierced the si­ lence that bung above the clearing. It was twice repeated, and the two women were heard to go from the cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed, then a step became audible on the packed earth of the dooryard. Some one entered the room below and be­ gan lo ascend the narrow stairs, and Betty's Angers closed convulsively about Hannibal's. This was neither Mrs. Hicks nor her daughter, nor Slosson with his clumsy shuffle. There haffy will try to find us. They’ll go right off to Belle Plain—tho judge la always wanting to do that only Mr. Mahaffy never lets him—but now be won't be able to atop him.” ’ Oh, Hannibal, Hannibal, what can was reached, but it was only momen­ tary; a hand lifted the bar, the door there?" And a dead pallor over­ was thrown open, and its space spread the girl’s face. To speak of framed the figure of a man. It was the blind groping of her friends but John Murrell, Standing there he regarded Betty in served to fix the horror of their situ­ silence, but a deep-seated tire glowed ation tn her mind. “I don't know.

She was the inspiration for “Then It Was You—Not Tom—Who Had Me'Brouflht Here!" risk as much for love of you?” He seemed to expand with savage pride that thia was so, and took a step to­ ward her. "Don't come near me!” cried Betty. Her eyes blazed, and she looked at him with loathing. "You’ll learn to be kinder," bo ex­ ulted. “You wouldn't see me at Belle Plain; what was left for me but to have you brought here?” While Murrell was speaking the sig­ nal that had told of his own presence on the opposite shore of the bayou was heard again. This served to ar­ rest- his attention. A look of uncer­ tainty passed over his face, then he made an Impatient gesture as If he dismissed some thought that had forced Itself upon him, and turned to Betty. "You don't ask what my purpose is where you are concerned; you have no curiosity on that score?” She en­ deavored to meet bls glance with n glance as resolute, then ber eyes sought the boy's upturned face. “J am going to send you down river, Bet­ ty. Later I shall Join you In New Un leans, and when 1 leave the country you shall go with me—" “Never!" gasped Betty. “As my wife, or however you choose to call it I’ll teach yon what a ma’-'! love Is like," he boasted, and extend­ ed his hand. Betty shrank from him, and his hand fell at bls side. He looked at her steadily out of his deepsunk eyes, in which blazed the fires of his passion, and els he looked, het face paled and flushed by turns. "You may learn to be kind to me, Betty,” he said. "You may find it will be worth your while." Betty made no answer; she only gathered Hannibal closer to her side. "Why not accept what I have to offer, Betty?" Again he went nearer her, and again she shrank from him, but the madness of his mood was in the ascendant. He seized her and drew her to him. She struggled to free herself, but bls fin* gers tightened about her. “Let me go!” she panted. He laughed his cool laugh of triumph. (TO BE CONTINUED.) How's Thia?

Finding they could not ex­ tinguish. the fire, they went into the casement and released tbe horses, said then went home to awaken their mother, who they found had disap­ peared. Their fears were aroused, as she was subject tb temporary at­ tacks of insanity, and had been an inmate of the KaUm&zop asylum not long ago. Still her sous did not think that she would become violent­ ly insane and commit anything des­ perate. Shortly after tbe fire was discov­ ered, Fred Geiger, a son of Andrew Geiger, appeared but found It Im­ possible to get into tbe basement where the cows were tied. At about eight o'clock the fire had died down so that it was possible to search among the debris, and efforts were made to discover whether the miss­ ing woman had been cremated. In the basement were found the charred remains of six cows and one vsal calf, also part of a human skull, the bin joints, a portion of the stomach and one jaw bone. A few buttons and hairpins- also confirmed their fears. It seems that tbe Mast boys had purchased some gasoline to go fish­ ing with, and about two gallons were left in the can. The cover of the can was found in the road between the Mast hon\e and the burned barn aud the empty can was found among the debris. A note left in the Mast home, probably written by Mrs. Mast and referring to her father’s drinking, together with the other clroumstan*.c-s connected with the case laaves >io doubt but that the unfortunate wo­ man became violently Insane and committed the deed. In order to clear up the matter as much as possible, Justice J. N. Covert has impanelled a jury and will hold an Inquest Tues­ day. The sympathy of the community goes out to the three young men, who are now left alone in the world, their father having died about three years ago. They have a fine home and pleasant surroundings, and nothing but a diseased mind could have caus­ ed their mother to commit such an act. It should also act as a warning to others that when a person is in­ sane or subject to temporary attacks ot insanity the only safe place for ' them is an asylum. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

An excellent ruling has recently been made by the postal- authorities at Washington for which they are en­ titled to the united thanks of the mail carriers. It has been ruled that where a man keeps a vicious dog about his premises that makes it dan­ gerous for a carrier to deliver mail, such delivery may be omitted.

The one-half cent piece will be considerably smaller than the dime, and the edge will be scalloped. THE ONLY WAY. Many Nashville Citizens Have DIcovered it. Juc< what to do when the kidneys are affected, is a question that con­ cerns both young and old. Weak kidneys neglected In childhood lead to life-long suffering. People of ad­ vanced years, with less vitality, suffer doubly. In youth or age. languor, barkache, urinary Irregularity, dizzi­ ness and nervousness make life a bur­ den. ' There is one remedy that acts di­ rectly on the kidneys. Doan's Kid nty Pills owe their world-wide fame to the fact that they have cured thou­ sands of cases of sick kidneys and cured them permanently. Follow-the example of this Nashville citizen. John Means, Phillips street, Nash­ ville, Mich., says: "My back trou­ bled me so badly that I was unable to work for several weeks. I suffered from severe pains across my kidneys and my back was extremely lame. I doctored and took a number of reme­ dies, but was not relieved until I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured from Furniss’ Drug Store.

While the citizens of Michigan are Justly proud of the steady grow tn ot the University, which ranks second to none in this country, little is gen­ ©tally known concerning rhe development of the Graduate Department of the University. This department. however, has been making substan-, tial gains during the pant few yearn Unlike many of the other graduate echools, such as those at Columbia and Harvard, the Michigan school has had no special appropriation with which to carry forward its work. By selecting its faculty from among reg­ ular teachers of the University, it has gradually evolved from a scattered group of advanced students into a well organised department. TLo Board.of Regents, realizing the need tor a "further extension of the worn, recently authorized the reorgani s »tlon of the Graduate School so as to include graduate work in all Depart­ rnents of the University. The action of the board provides for a Dean and an Executive Board of seven members to be appointed by the Board of Re­ gents. It is probable that the reorganization will b« perfected by the opening of the next university year. At present.there are 212 students in the Graduate School, a gain of 4 1 over the enrollment of last year. It Is quite probable-that the fifteen new fellowships, recently provided by the Regents, will materially increase the registration for next year. Seventy-sei en graduate degrees will be awarded in June, a gain of nineteen over the number conferred last year. There are eight candi­ dates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, twenty-two for the de­ gree of Master of Science In Forestry, and forty-seven for the degree of Master of Arts. Fresh-Soph Contests. The annual spilng contests between the freshmen and sophomores will be held Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18. These contests were insti­ tuted several years ago to displace the annual "fresh-soph” rush, which was regarded as physically hazard­ ous. They represent an organized, test of the physical prowess of the two classes. The Friday contest will be the tugof-war, which differs from the con­ ventional match only in the detail that requires that the rope span the Huron river, with the two teams oc­ cupying opposite shores. The vic­ tors enjoy the satisfaction of giving their opponents a good ducking In the purling stream. The Saturday engagements consist of the "push-ball" contest, the re­ lay-obstacle races and the "cane spree". In the first event each class may enter as many men as it wishes. Victory is awarded the side that suc­ ceeds in pushing the huge ball across Its opponent's goal line. Three re­ lay races, run by teams composed of sixteen men each, comprise the sec­ ond contest. Each member of the op­ posing teams sprints an eighth of a mile, his course being obstructed nt intervals by fences which he must climb and prostrate barrels which he must crawl through, meanwhile clutching his class banner, which is transferred by each contestant to his successor during the progress of the race. The cane spree partakes of nature of a wrestling match conduct­ ed at arm’s length by each pair of contestants. The two classes ate represented in this contest by indi­ viduals whose muscular development inspires the greatest confidence in the possessor's ability to wrench a cane from a tenacious opponent. As all these contests are conduct­ ed under the supervision of upper­ class men who serve as officials.rough play is eliminated, and the battle is to the strong and the well disciplined.

At the present time, according to the witness, conscientious Inspectors regard their presence in packing houses a* something merely perfunctory. "Whenever we made an objection or protest we expected to be overruled by our superiors,*’ said' Burroughs, “Meat was passed as suitable for food as long as it would hang on a hook. There was a feeling of helplessness among us, and I may say a sort of contempt for those above us. That ww the feeling of the rank and file of the service when I left it last March.’* As he made the last statement Bur­ roughs turned and looked directly at bls former superior, Georg© P.

Lansing.—When the gong sound­ ,ed an alarm of fire at central fire station Edward Talmadge, like some of the other firemen, hopped from his cot in the dormitory and hur­ riedly began dressing. He had no more than stuck his feet into his boots and pulled his suspenders up over his shouldeis before there was a loud noise'and he was enveloped In a cloud of dust When the air had cleared away he saw that a huge piece of plaster covered the pillow where his head had lain but a few minutes before. A spot about four feet square had become loosened from the cell­ ing and fallen upon the cot. Talmadge carted away two bushels of the heavy plaster. If it had not been for the alarm of fire Talmadge would have been seriously injured, if not killed. VEN if you haven’t now, it’s ten to one you will some day, and the longer you put it off the more it will cost to cure it If property continues to rise as it has in the past, it won’t be long until it is out of your reach entirely. This “back to the farm” movement is prob­ ably the most sensible movement ever started in America. As it is, the towns and cities are over­ crowded, while good farmers are scarce. And who is more independent or more sure ot a living than a farmer? It’s true he has to work, but he doesn’t have to watch some other fellow pocket the profits as most working men do. Consider the opportunities and come in and talk it over with us. We have a large number of bargains, any of which is worthy of your inspec­ tion.

Nashville, May 14. 1912. Dear Readers:— 1 don’t suppose many of you missed the "Old Man” of The News last, WMtk for fnr the fhe boys hnvn got rot out a paper naoer, week, fully up to the standard as far as I' am able to judge, but 1 sure had some’ trip, and I want to tell you a little' about it. I left Nashville on the morning train, May 6th, and1 leav­’ ing the'Michigan Central at Jackson1 went to Toledo over the Lake Shore.; I didn’t notice much worth speaking• about until wo struck old Lenawee■ county, which apparently raises lots of good stock. Nearly ail of the land1 one secs from the'train is flat, butr has evidently been well underdrained1 and looks productive. The farm1 buildings are splendid, fine houses,I large barns, nearly every one with aJ silo connected, and'the whole coun­’ try wearing an air of undoubted[ prosperity. This is. the country . where Dr. Morns was born, which: makes it quite sure they raise good1 stock there. I pulled into Toledo in time for lunch before the train left’ for Philadelphia. I had my shoes1 polished by an old darky at the sta­ tion, and I tried kidding him a little, but found I hadstrucka tartar, for ho' was as quick-witted as an Irishman1 and had me going at every turn.■ Leaving Toledo, which seems to be' some town, but which I had no time; to look over. I was soon on my way through northeastern Ohio, which has done a lot for this part of Michi­ gan. I passed through Tiro, which furnished us with Dr. Shilling, for which our thanks are due to Tiro: , also Massilon, which palmed * ’ off we' “BlUy" Smith on us. Whether ___ should be so grateful for that or not I am not .sure. A little farther on is Canton, the birthplace of many noted men. It was at this place on; the map that the writer of these1 lines first saw the light of day. some1 umphty-uraph years ago. The town! has apparently survived my coming1 away, for it seems to be a prosper­' ous and thriving city. But just■ think what it might have been by this1 time if my unfeeling parents had on­; ly stayed there instead of bringing: me to the then wilds of Barry coun­' ty. Poor Canton. I had never seen1 the town since my people brought me• away at the tender age of four months, and it has grown so that 1 hardly think I should have recog­’ nized it except for the label on the‘ station. One thing which I particularly’ noticed In traveling through this part■ of Ohio, and the same thing is true' to a large extent in Pennsylvania and Now York, and that Is tbo absonco of stock from the pastures. Ono Seos beautiful farms, with large and sub­ stantial buildings, but rarely a herd of stock in field. I commented on this fact to a passenger who got on at a station east ot Canton, and he told me that nearly all of the stock was kept closely in the barns. There are more cattle raised than sheep, and mostly of the dairy breeds, and my acquaintance told me that many cattle never saw the outside of the Etable. being strictly stall fed. I arrived In Philadelphia nt 7 o’clock Tuesday morning, after a night tn which I got very little sleep, as there was a youngster of about six or seven years of age In the next section who was evidently putting In his first night In a sleeping car. The novelty kept him awake and his end­ less chatter to his mother, which could be heard all over the car, kept everybody awake. I like children, generally, but if this particular one had fallen from the berth and broken his jaw I should not have been in the market for a bolt ot crepe. My week in Philadelphia was a pleasant and profitable one, but I was too busy to go sight-seeing much and as I told you last year about most of the noticeable peculiarities of the old Quaker village, I shall pass It up this time. On Friday, which produced the first clear day of the week, I went out to Sbibe ball park In the afternoon, saw the raising of the championship flag which the Athletics won last year, and saw Cleveland give them a most beauti­ ful drubbing. As I was “rooting” for Cleveland. I went back well pleas­ ed with my afternoon off. Saturday afternoon, the textile show which I was attending having closed, I grabbed a Pennsylvania train, in company with Harry Shields, for little old New York. It was my first visit to the metropolis, and they were awfully glad to see me. I had no more than stepped off the train than half a dozen men and boys tried to take my grips and coat and carry them for me, but as I had had a good long rest on the train I hung on to them and so I still have them. We got into the city about six o’clock, and after securing hotel accommoda­ tions and getting cleaned up a bit. we started out to see the sights. I don’t know how they found out so soon that, we were In town, but they had Broadway all lighted up for us and it looked real bright and nice. They had an automobile parade, up one side of the street and down the other, and I won’t attempt to' tell how many machines there were out. for they were still going by when we went to bed. Then on the walks there was a tremenduos gathering of all the swell people of the city, some of them wearing their best clothes, and some of them with as few as the law would permit. Oh, it was a grand sight, and I am much obliged to them for the honor they showed us. I asked a policeman if they would keep Broadway open for us on Sunday, and he said that was the Mayor’s orders. Sunday we were up bright and early, but the pa­ rade of the night before must have been too much for them, for there were but very few out. So we took a car and went down Broadway to see the tall buildings. They are running a race down there to see who can get to heaven first. The Flatiron building and the Singer building had a good start toward It. but there are many others climbing away past them. They have poor old Trinity church spire complete­ ly overshadowed, and that would be some church, too. out in a Jersey meadow. One skyscraper, completed three years ago, is now receiving a twenty-atory addition, sixteen on top and four below. We went down to Battery park.

Arrived at Buffalo In the morning, called on Ed. Klelnhans, a brother of W. H. Klelnhans of this place, and who runs the largest clothing house In Buffalo, and after a brief visit took an interurban car for Medina, where I spent the day with O. A. Keil and family, who recently moved there from Grand Rapids. Mr. Kell is manager and part owner of a large manufacturing establishment which makes leather-upholstered furniture exclusively. They have a large plant, comprised of two three-story build­ Ings, besides warehouses, shipping room, exhibition room, etc., and are doing a fine business. I noticed that In this section of New York the farmers are devoting their attention al­ most exclusively to fruit-growing. The old orchards are all trimmed up and clean, and young orchards are beIng set out every year, so. that the country is coming to be one vast fruit country. Apples predominate, al­ though there are many pears and peaches. The pear trees are kept cut out at the top, so that they look like stubby paint brushes, but they are one solid mass of bloom and give promise of an immense crop. The best of the fruit crop is sorted out and placed in cold storage ware­ houses, and one can buy right now the most delicious winter apples, as fresh and crisp as when they were picked from the trees last fall. I was Interested In the work being done on the old Erie canal, which is being enlarged and deepened. The canal runs through Medina, and I had opportunity to see it at Lockport and along the interurban tracks between the towns. It Is a stupendous undertaklng and will cost the state a great many millions of dollars, but will undoubtedly prove a good in­ vestment as a means of cheap transportatlon. This is a great manufacturing district, every village and city having factories in plenty. Where water power is-not available, electric power from Niagara is easily and cheaply obtainable, and the proxlmity of the market of the big eastern cities is also a drawing card.

Proudfoot was the hus­ band ot a suffragette, a fact well known to himself and to the neighbor­ hood In which be resided. Nobody ever had an opportunity to forget who wore the bifurcated garment in the household. It had been many round, pale moons since Mr. Proudfoot had been able to tear himself away from his fireside in the evening. Upon this eventful evening he had decided to is­ sue his declaration of independence. ' “I will be out this evening,” he remarked quit* casually to Mrs. " Proudfoot. It was his plan to break the thing gentl/ but firmly, and to stand by his colors to the bitter end. *!• that so?” she asked with a slight touch ot polite sarcasm. "May I ask why, pray?” "I have a directors’ meeting." “No you haven't Your board of di­ rectors always meets in the after­ noon. Mr. Jones told me so.” “Well—er, then I have an old col­ lege friend from out of town, and I promised to spend the evening with him.’’ “Old stuff!" snorted Mrs. Proud­ foot “You act as though I was a tenrtwent’-thlrt’ vaudeville audience, ready to bite on anything. If you have an old college chum in town you can phone him to come up here." "But I have got to meet our senior partner at six o’clock and go to the train with him," said Mr. Proudfoot, desperately. “Your senior partner went away yesterday. You told me so your­ self." “Well, even at that" said he, in a final attempt to get by gracefully, "even at that, I promised to make the fourth in a game ot whist over at Mr. Podsnap’s tonight, and I’ve got to go." “Mr. and Mrs. Podsnap are up at Charlevoix and have been there ever since July 1. Your work is really course, Erasmua." "Well, you know I never deceived you in my life. Matilda," said Mr. Proudfoot, weakening. "I know perfectly well that you have never deceived me, Erasmus, and you are not deceiving me now. You had better get out your slippers and remain at home this evening." And he remained.

Poultry Pan-ace-a has an established reputation for gapes, indigestion, leg weakness and the like, and ’ to promote digestion. You can’t raise poultry and not fight lice. You can’t employ a more effective remedy than Instant Louse Killer. Then there is Dr. Hess Roup Remedy for the older chickens that are so susceptible to r3up at this season of the year. Remember. Dr. Hess Dip and Disinfectant is not only one of the best sheep dips but is also of great value for disinfecting bams, outbuildings, sinks, drains, etc. Then too it is excellent for spraying the interiors of chicken houses.

May 14.—The Mexican rebels, be­ lieved to have lost 600 killed and wounded tn a battle, burning bridges behind them, today continued their retreat northward before the federal army of Gen. Huerta, victorious in the last three days' fighting. Five bridges scanning wide arroyos were destroyed by the insurgents, causing delay to government troop trains. No fighting is expected for twenty-four hours, as both sides were occupied in caring for their dead and wounded from yesterday’s engagemenu. Yesterday's fighting was on the des­ ert plains 300 miles south of the Amer­ ican border between a force of 5,000 rebels under Gen. Oroxco and an equal­ ly strong body of federals under Gen. Huerta.

Have you no reward for patience such as mine? A whole sum­ mer has passed since I saw you first—" There was the noisy shuffling ot feet on the stairs, and releasing Bet­ ty, Murrell swung about on his heel and faced the door. It was pushed open an inch at a time by a not too confident hand and Mr. Slosson thus guardedly presented himself to the eye of bls chief, whom he beckoned from the room. . "Well?" said Murrell, when they stood together on the landing. “Just come across to the keel boat!” and Slosson led the way down stairs and from the house. “Damn you, Joe, you might have waited!” observed the outlaw. Sloeson gave him a hardened grin. They crossed the clearing and boarded the keel boat which rested against the bank. As they did so the cabin tn the stern gave up a shattered pres­ ence in the shape of Tom Ware. Mur­ rell started violently. "I thought you were hanging out In Memphis, Tom?" he said, and his brow darkened, as, sinister and forbidding, be stepped closer to the planter. Ware did not answer at once, but looked at Mur rell out of heavy bloodshot eyes, his face pinched and gbastly. At last he said, speaking with visible effort. “I stayed In Memphis until five o’clock this morning.” “Damn your early hours!" roared Murrell. "What are you doing here? I suppose you’ve been showing that dead face of yours about the neigh­ borhood—why didn’t you stay at Belle Plain, since you couldn’t keep away?" "I haven’t been near Be(le Plain; 1 came here instead. How am I going to meet people and answer ques­ tions?" His teeth were chattering. “Is It known she’s missing T’ he added. “Hicks raised the alarm the first thing this morning, according to the instructions I'd given him.” "Yes?” gasped Ware. He was drip­ ping from every pore and the sickly color came and went on his unshaven cheeks. Murrell dropped a heavy hand on bis shoulder. “You haven't been at Belle Plain, you say, but has any one seen you on the road this morning?” "No one, John," cried Ware, pant­ ing between each word. There was a moment’s pause and Ware spoke again. "What are they doing at Belie Plain?" be demanded in a whisper. Murrell’s lips curled. "I understand there is talk of sui­ cide,” he Mid. . "Good!” cried Ware. "They are dragging the bayou down below the house. It looks as though you were going to reap the rewards of the excellent management you have given her estate. They hare been trying to find you in Memphis, uo the sooner you show yourself the better," he concluded significantly. “You are sure you have her safe, John; no chance of discovery? For God’s sake get her away from here as soon as you can; it’s an awful risk you run!” "She’ll be sent down river tonight,” said Murrell. "Captain," began Slosson. who. up to this had taken no part In the con­ versation, "when are you going to cross to t'other side of the bayou T’ “Soon." replied Murrell. Slosson laughci. T didn't know but you’d clean for­ got the Clan's business. I want to ask another question—but first I want to say that no one thinks higher or more frequent ot the ladles than just me; I’m genuinely fond of 'em, and I’ve never lifted my hand ag'ln ’em except In kindness.” Mr. Slosson looked at Ware with an exceedingly virtuous expression of countenance. He continued: ”Yo’ orders are that we’re to slip out of this a little afore midnight, but suppose there’s a hitch —here’s the lady knowing what she knows and here's the boy knowing what he knows.” "There can be no hitch,” rasped out Murrell arrogantly. ”1 never knew a speculation that couldn’t go wrong: and by rights we should have got away last night.” "Well, whose fault la it you didn’t?" demanded Murrell. “In a manner it were mlns, but the ark. got on a sandbank aa we were fetching tt In and it took us the whole damn night to get clear." "Well?" prompted Murrell, with a euUen frown. “Suppose they get shut of that no­ tion of theirs that the lady's done drowned herself; suppose they take to watching the river? Or suppose the whole damn bottom drops out of this deal? What then? The lady, good looking as she is, knows enough to make west Tennessee mighty onheoithy for acme of u*. I say, sup­ pose it’s a Cash in the pan and you have to crowd the distance in be­ tween you and thia part of the world. you can’t tell me you'll have any use for her then.” Slosson paused Im­ pressively. "And here's Mr. Ware feeling bad, feeling like hell." he re­ sumed. "Him and me don’t want to be left in no trap with you gone God only knows where.” "I'll send a man to take charge of the keel boat I can’t riak any more of your bungling, Joe.” That’s all right, but you don’t an­ swer my question,” persisted.Slosson, with admirable tenacity of purpose. “What is your question. Joe?" “A lot can happen between this and midnight—" “If things go wrong with us there’ll be a blaze at the head of the bayou; Does that Mtlsfy you?” “And what then?" Murrell hesitated. "What about the girl?” insisted Slosson, dragging him back to the point at issue between them. "As a man I wouldn't lift my hand ag'ln no good looking woman except, like 1 said, in kindness; but she can’t bo turned loose; she knows too much. What’s the word. Captain—you say it!" he urged. He made a gesture of appeal to Ware. "Look for the light; better still, look for the man I’ll send.” And with this Murrell would have turned away, but Slosson detained him. "Who'll he bet’ "Some fellow who knows the river.” "And if it’s the light?” asked the tavern-keeper in a hoarse undertone. Again he looked toward Ware, who, dry-lipped and ashen, was regarding him steadfastly. Glance met glance, for a brief instant they looked into each other’s eyes and then the hand Slosson had rested on Murrell’s shoulder dropped at his side. CHAPTER XXI. The Judge Meets the Situation. The judge's and Mr. Mahaffy’s cele­ bration of the former’s rehabilitated credit had occupied the shank of the evening, the small hours of the night, and that part of the succeeding day which the southwest described as soon in the morning; and as the stone jug. in which were garnered the spoils of the highly confidential but entirely misleading conversation which the judge had held with Mr. Pegioe after his return from Belle Plain, lost in weight, it might have been observed that he and Mr. Mahaffy seemed to gain in that nice sense of equity which should form the basis of all human re­ lations. The judge watched Mr. Ma­ haffy, and Mr. Mahaffy watched' the judge, each trustfully placing the reg­ ulation of his private conduct in the hands of his friend, as the one most likely to be affected by the rectitude of his acts.

The judge shook the jug, it gave forth an empty sound, and he sighed again; he attempted to peer into iL closing one watery eye as he tilted it toward the light. “I wonder no Yankee has ever Try Squeezing It Price," Said Ma­ haffy. thought to invent a jug with a glass bottom,” he observed. “What for?" asked Mahaffy. “You astonish me, Solomon," ex­ claimed the judge.

Aged 69 years, 4 months and 4 days.. Most of his boy­ hood days were spent on. a stock farm. When a mere lad of 17 years he enlisted with the three months troops in our war for the preserva­ tion of the Union. He then returned to his home. But about a year later he re-enlisted and served until pros­ trated by fever, and after a few weeks of continual decline he was sent home unable to walk. Jt was near­ ly two years before he recovered from this sickness. Later he came to Mich­ igan and bought a farm in Maple Grove. This he sold and bought another farm in Assyria township. He then returned to Ohio, and, No­ vember 22, 1866, was united in mar­ riage with Miss Elvira Stephenson, at Medina, Ohio, and with his wife, returned immediately to their farm in Assyria, where they resided until 1875, when he removed with his fam­ ily to Nashville and took i’he manage­ ment of a saw mill, in which business he continued for about eight years. He then gave his attention to the bus­ iness of stock-buying and shipping. In connection with this business he will doubtless best be remembered by the older residents. It was sev­ eral years ago that his noble and pa­ tient wife passed to her rest. Mr. Furniss was the last of a large family In departing this life, his father, mother, brothers and sisters all having preceded him. Of his im­ mediate family there remain six children, ten grand-children and a goodly number of more distant rela­ tives. The funeral service was con­ ducted by the pastor of the M. E. church at the home of his son. Von W. Furniss, on Friday afternoon. In­ terment In the Lakeview cemetery. MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM. Sunday, May 26. the Post and all ex-soldiers of the Civil and Spanish war are requested to assemble at the Post room at 9:30 o'clock in the fore­ noon and march to the Evangelical church, where Union Memorial ser­ vices will be held.

Exercises—By Grade Pupils.. Song, "Our Flag"—School. Address—Rev. Smith. Song, "America”—Audience.

C. Ketcham. Song, "America”—Audience. Benediction—Rev Atchison. LOCAL LAD RETAINS TITLE. Amos Hinkley still holds his title as champion wrestler of Barry county by winning two out of three falls from Rex Wilson of Hastings at the opera house last Friday evening. The Hastings lad was acompanled by a loyal bunch of rooters who seemed determined to carry the honors home with them. But they were doomed to disappointment. The first fall went to Hinkley In twenty minutes with a bar bold and head lock. Wilson came back In the second with a half nelson and pinned Hinkley's shoulders to the mat in one minute. Amos won the third and deciding fall with a full nelson, the time being about five minutes. The other events on the evening's program consisted of amusing wrestling and boxing match­ es by youngsters, and a three round boxing match between Eddie Kyser and Seth Graham. SCHOOL CONCERTS. The local schools will give two concerts at the opera house on Mon­ day and Tuesday nights of next week: Monday evening the program will be given by the pupils of the lower grades, assisted by the high school. On Tuesday evening the high school students will render a pro­ gram of songs, instrumental solos and orchestra music. This will be an excellent opportunity to note the progress made by the schools along this particular line. The scholars have been exceptionally dili­ gent the past year and with their ex­ cellent teaching should be able to give highly enjoyable entertainments. Attainment in this line is Invaluable, no matter what the person's vocation may be, and should be heartily en­ couraged. See hand bills for pro­ grams and don't fail to attend. Your patronage will be appreciated. DR. GKISEL'S LECTURE. Fortunate, indeed, were the peo­ ple who were able to attend Dr. Gelsel’s lecture last Friday night,.for if the Doctor was not at her best, it Is hard to imagine what her best may be. Announcing her subject as “The Home Behind the Man" she wittily explained that she knew noth­ ing of the "Man Behind the Home” on account of having no man. She said the first essential was the home itself, next a mother in it, and de­ scribed homos of rich and poor that lacked "mothering", for the child­ ren. She told of the 25000 monkeys In London, near which no one was allowed because, as a guard ex­ plained. people fed them things that disagreed with them .so they could­ n’t think good, and contrasted this care In regard to feeding monkeys with the care in the average home, concerning the diet of young child­ ren. Then followed a lesson on food values that caused every youug moth­ er in the audience to resolve to know what elements were needed by her children and to determine to furnish such food as shall make a man of her boy. She said work instead of mon­ ey was needed to bring out the man­ hood of American boys, and our "laughter” to her, nit, was close to tears, which filled our eyes at the thought of the 1700 girls who disap­ peared this year between New' York and Chicago, their fate worse than death. We left the church with heads and hearts full, and It is a safe guess that more potatoes cooked with the "jackets on" have been eat­ en since in this town than for a long time before. M&ny have expressed a wish that Dr.Geisel might be Induc­ ed to return to us twice a year, so long as she is able. This last lecture was her free gift to Nashville peo­ ple, as she asked nothing of the W. L. C., not even expenses. Her only re­ ward was the good she hoped to do us. She has the thanks, both of the club and the public, for her efforts, and we all cordially Invite her to come again soon. . - PRICE OF PAPER RISES. Publishers and other users of pa­ per throughout the country have re­ ceived a prize package the past week in the shape of a notice of a ten per cent, raise In the price of all kinds of paper. The cause is said to be the Increased price of raw materials and the advanced cost of labor. The truth of the matter probably is. how­ ever, that the paper trust, which poses under the head of a "gentle­ men’s agreement", having such a mo­ nopoly that they can raise prices,at will, have decided that they need larger dividends. And •this is one case where the "ultimate consumer" doesn’t have to foot the bills, as it will be impossible for the publishers and printers to raise prices accord­ ingly. If you have did paper to sell, you ought to get a bettor price for It, but you won’t, because the paper trust Is so firmly Intrenched that it makes prices at both ends of the route, which makes it very pleasant for the members of the trust. Ohe of the Industries which Nashville people could establish, with absolute certainty of liberal returns, would be a paper mill. There Is no better paying business in the country today, not even excepting the automobile industry. MAPLE GROVE CEMETERY CIR­ CLE. The regular meeting of the Maple Grove Cemetery Circle will be held at the cemetery Decoration Day. The gentlemen are to bring shovels to work with and the ladies will furnish dinner, which will be served at noon. All are Invited to attend and also bring flowers.

Last Sunday evening James Scheldt and family of Lake Odessa were victims of a lucky accident, serious enough in a way, but the participants were Indeed lucky to es­ cape without even a slight body In­ jury. They had been visiting at Chas. Scheldt's in this village during the day. and were returning home In their new Ford automobile: When near the cemetery just this side of Lake Odessa. Jim lost control of the machine and it turned turtle over an embankment. All of the occupants were caught beneath the car but In some miraculous manner escaped without the slightest injury. Con­ siderable damage was. done to the car. however. The top, wind-shield and headlights were smashed and the radiator and front axle bent out of shape. Again the local high school team met defeat at the hands of the Bellovue high school at that place Satur­ day. The game was a fast one from start to finish, and ended in a score Of 5 and 3. The local team showed much better team work and as a whole played better ball, as Bellevue has one seasoned star, Mahoney, who is their whole team. AH of their scores were brought in by his long hit and while Nashville was batting he was located in the box. He struck out 13 men, while Jack struck out 10 of theirs. The boys eamc home with many compliments for the umpire, and all say they never had a more square deal given them. The game at Hastings last Wednesday was cancelled on account of rain but, nevertheless, they will be here next week. Decoration Day, on the home grounds. Turn out and give the boys your support and help them win. The dancing party given at the Auditorium Monday evening under the auspice* of the Pythlans, was a most enjoyable affair in every way. This will be the last of the Pythian parties until next fall. NUMBER 40 LOCAL NEWS. Get. a lawn mower at Pratt's. Wall paper bargains. Brown’s. James Seeley was at Jackson last week.

For instance, Sunday evening when he went to milk his cow which is pastured on Henry Roe’s farm just south of the village he was charged by an ugly bull. Vern picked up a rock and hurled It at the animal, which only seemed to enrage It the more, so Vern took to his heels and made record time to the nearest tree. The bull was a close second, and the force with which It struck the tree stunned It. so Vern ventuwd another sprint to the fence. The bull re­ covered in time for the last lap and with another rod to go would proba­ bly have won out. The Ackett fami­ ly missed their pall of milk that night. �TfrrEewf.

Fright from a burglar's visit bu ciuuod the death of Mrs. Lucius F. Fear of thieves had always hausted ’Yes, air, that’s me." The judge passed nimbly around the desk and ahook the Scratch Hiller warmly by the hand. “Where's my nevvy, sir?— what's all this about him and Miss Betty?” Yancy's soft drawl was sud­ denly eager. “Please God we’li recover him soon!” said the judge. By the window Carrington moved Impatiently. No harm could come to the boy, but Betty—a shudder went through him. •They’ve stolen him.” Yancy spoke with conviction. “I reckon they've started back to No’th Carolina with him—only that don’t explain what’s come of Miss Betty, does It?*’ and be dropped rather helplessly into a chair. “Bob are just getting off a sick bed. He’s been powerful porely in'conse­ quence of having his bead laid open and then being throwed into the Elk river, where 1 Ashed him out,” ex­ plained Cavendish, who still contin­ ued to regard the Judge with unmlxed astonishment, first cocking his shaggy head on one side and then on the other, his bleached eyes narrowed to a slit Now and then he favored the austere Mahaffy with a fleeting glance. He seemed intuitively to un­ derstand the comradeship of their degradation. “Mr. Cavendish fetched me here on bis raft. We tied up to the sho* this morning. It was there we met Mr. Carrington—I’d knowed him slightly back yonder in No’th Carolina,” con­ tinued Yancy. “He said I’d And Han­ nibal with you. I was counting a heap on seeing my nervy.” Carrington, no longer able to con­ trol himself, swung about on his heel. “What’s been done?” he asked, with fierce repression. “What's going to be done? Don't you know that every second is precious?” "I am about to conclude my inves­ tigations, sir,” said the judge with dignity. Carrington stepped to the door. After all, what was there to expect of these men? Whatever their Interest, it was plainly centered in the boy. He passed out into the hall. As the door closed on him the* judge turned again to the Scratch Hiller. "Mr. Yancy, Mr. Mahaffy and I hold your nephew in the tenderest regard; he has been our constant companion ever since you were lost to him. In this crisis you may rely upon us; we are committed to his recovery, no matter what it involves.” The judge’s tone was one of unalterable resolu­ tion. “I reckon you-all have been mighty good and kind to him," salg Yancy huskily. “We have endeavored to be, Mr. Yancy—Indeed I had formed the reso­ lution legally to adopt him should you not come to claim him. I should have given him my name, and made him my heir. His education has already begun under my supervision," and too judge, remembering the high use to which he had dedicated one of Pegloe’s trade labels, fairly glowed with philanthropic fervor. “Think of that!" murmured Yancy softly. He was deeply moved. So was Mr. Cavendish, who was gifted with a wealth of ready sympathy. He thrust out a hardened hand to the judge. “Shake!” he said. "You’re a heap better than you look.” A thin ripple of laughter escaped Mahaffy, but the judge accepted Chills and Fever’s proffered hand. He understood that here was a simple genuine soul. "Price, isn't it important for us to know why Mr. Yancy thinks the boy has been taken back to North Caro­ lina?” said Mahaffy. “Just what kin is Hannibal to you, Mr. Yancy?" asked the judge resum­ ing his seat “Strictly speaking, he ain’t none. That he come to live with me is all owing to Mr. Crenshaw, who’s a good man when left to himself, but he’s got a wife, so a body may say he never is left to himself," began Yancy; and then brlefiy he told the story of the woman and the child much as he had. told it to Bladen at the Barony the( day of General Qulntard's funeral. | The judge, his back to the light and his face In shadow, rested bis left el­ bow on the desk and with bls chin sunk in his palm, followed the Scratch Hiller's narrative with the closest at­ tention. "And General Qulntard never saw him—never manifested any Interest in him?" the words came slowly from the judge's lips; he seemed to gulp down something that rose to his throat. "Poor little lad!" he mut­ tered, and again, "Poor little lad!" The Judge drummed Idly on the desk. '•What impincable hate—what Iron pride!” ho murmured, and swept fils hand across his eyes. Absoibed and aloof, ho was busy with his thoughts that spanned tho waste of years— years that seemed to glide before him in review, each bitter with Its hideous memories of shame and defeat Then from tho smoko of these lost battles emerged the lonely figure of the child as ho had seen him that June night His ponderous arm stiffened where It rested on the desk, be straightened up in bls chair and his* face assumed its customary expression of battered dig­ nity, while a smile at once wistful and tender hovered about his lips. “One other question,” he said. “‘Un­ til this man Murrell appeared you had no trouble with Bladen? Hq was content that you should keep the child—your right to Hannibal was never challenged?" "Nover, sir. All my troubles began about that time." "Murrell belongs in these parts," said the judge. “I’d admire to’ to meet him,” said Yancy quietly. The judge grinned. f ”1 place my professional services at your disposal," he said. "Yours is a clear case of felonious assault." “No, it ain’t, sir—I look at it thls-aways; it's a clear case of my giving him the damndest sort of a body beat­ ing!" "Sir,” said the judge, "I’ll hold your hat while you are about it I” Hicks had taken his time in re­ sponding to the Judge's summons, but now his step sounded In the hall and throwing open the door he entered the room. .Whether consciously or not he had acquired something of that surly, forbidding manner which was characteristic of his employer. A curt nod of the head was bls only greet­ ing. "Will you sit down?" asked the judge. Hlcka signified by another movement of the head that be would not. "This is a very dreadful busi­ ness!” began the judge softly. “Ain’t it?” agreed Hicks. “What you got to say to me?” he added petulantly. “Have you started to drag the bayou?” asked the judge. Hicks nodded. “That was your idea?" sug­ gested the judge. “No, it wa’n’t,” objected Hicks quickly. “But I said she had been actin* like she was plumb distracted ever since Charley Norton got shot—" “How?” inquired the judge, arching his eyebrows. Hicks was plainly dis­ turbed by the question. “Sort of out of her head. Mr. Ware seen it, too—" "He spoke of it?" ’Yes, sir; him and me discussed it together.” The judge regarded Hicks long and intently and in silence. His magnifi­ cent mind was at work. If Betty had been distraught he had not observed any sign of it the previous day. If Ware were better informed aa to her true mental state why had he chosen this time to go to Memphis? ”1 suppose Mr. Ware asked you to keep an eye on Miss Malroy while he was away from home?” said the judge. Hicks, suspicious of the drift of his questioning, made no answer. “1 sup­ pose you told the house servants to keep her under observation?" contin­ ued the judge. “I don’t talk to no niggers." replied Hicks, “except to give ’em my or­ ders.” "Well, did you give them that or­ der r "No, I didn’t.” The sudden and hurried entrance of big Steve brought the judge's exam­ ination of Mr. Hicks to a standstill. | “Mas’r, you know dat 'ar coachman George—the big black fellow dat took you into town las’ evenin’? I jes’ been down at Shanty Hill whar Milly, bls wife, is carryin’ on something scan­ dalous ’cause George ain’t never come home!"

"Sure,” agreed Hicks, mollified by the judge's altered tone. ‘Therefore I do not hesitate to say that I consider you a damned scoun­ drel!” concluded the judge. Mr. Cavendish, accepting the judge's ultimatum as something which must debar Hicks from all further consid­ eration, and being, as he was, exceed­ ingly active and energetic by nature, If one passed over the various forms of gainful industry, uttered a loud whoop and threw himself on the over­ seer. There was a brief struggle and Hicks went down with the Earl of Lambeth astride of him; then from his boot leg that knightly soul flashed a horn-handled tickler of formidable dimensions.

The judge’s heavy face, ordinarily battered and debauched, but infinitely goodnatured, bore now the markings of deep passion, and the voice that rum­ bled forth from his capacious chest: came to their ears like distant thun­ der. This friend of Gatewood’s had a. wife—’’ The judge's voice broke, emo­ tion shook him like a leaf; be was tearing open his wounds. He reached.' over and poured himself a drink, suck­ ing it down with greedy Ups. "Thera was a wife—" he whirled about on his heel and faced Fentress again.

"At a later day I met this man who* had been betrayed by bls wfre and robbed by his friend.

He wondered, if she had lived, and married—" Once more the Judge pkused. • “What’s aU this to me?” asked Fen­ tress. "Are you sure it’s nothing to you?” demanded the judge hoarsely. “Un­ derstand this, Fentress, Gatewood** treachery brought ruin to at least twoUves. It caused the woman's father to hide his face from the world; to wasn't enough for him that hl» friends believed bls daughter dead; ae knew differently, and the shame or that knowledge ate into his soul, to' cost the husband his place In the world, too—In the end It made of himi a vagabond and a penniless wan­ derer."

POSTOFFICE PHARMACY, C. H. BROWN, Pharmacist DRUGS WALL PAPER BOOKS Nasbville Schools. Under Direction of Mrs. E. R. Wiginman, Enter­ tain Large Audiences. Pride in the local schools received great stimulus.this week as a result of two .fine concerts given at the op­ era house on Monday and Tuesday evenings, under the direction of Mrs. E. R. Wightman, teacher of music. Both concerts were well attended, and those present were both sur­ prised and delighted with the high class of entertainment offered. The concert of Monday evening was given by the grades, assisted by a number of the high school students, and the high school orchestra. The program given by the little folks was diversified enough, to suit everybody, and every part was taken so well that It would be an Injustice to mention particular numbers. The entire program was fine, and the evening was thoroughly-enjoyed by a capaci­ ty house. The concert of Tuesday evening was given by the high school, and consisted entirely of chorus numbers, with the exception of a cornet solo by Lisle Cortrlght, which yjas fine and was heartily encored. The second part of the program was the cantata. '•The Lady of Shalott”, and the ren­ dition was wholly creditable In every­ way. The evening’s program was brought to a close by singingtheHlgh School song, written by Miss Zaida Keyes, the audience being invited to join In the singing. Much credit Is due Mrs. Wightman for the success of the two entertain­ ments. which demonstrated unmislakeably that she has been doing ex­ cellent work as supervisor of music in the schools.

When we realize that the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow, we should feel that no time is lost, or labor is in vain which Influences them to strive for higher and better things. Then be on hand with the "young­ sters”. They will all want to hear Kenzall's band which will furnish music for the day, to enjoy the speech by Mr. Ketcham, who knows the direct route to the hearts of the boys and girls, and they will wish to participate in the sports of the after­ noon. „ The program is as follows: Forenoon. 10:00—Music by the band.

A large congregation gathered at the M. E. church last Friday evening to listen to a ^masterful address by Rev. Atchison on the Cival War.

Every dollar you invest should represent a definite, safe purpose that will not require spending additional dollars, for repairs and re-building. The Imperishable Silo is permanent and enduring because it is built of vitrified clay blocks which can never decay. This silo is storm-proof, acid-proof, moisture-proof and the walls are fire-proof. Better than concrete, which is porous and unsatisfactory in preserving silage. Our silos possess incalculable strength. Patent channel blocks in which steel bars are burled in mortar, concealed from view and not exposed to air and chemical influences, contribute so much strength that the silo could be filled with wheat and stand the test perfectly. The Imperishable Silo is Warranted! Buyer cannot lose in such an Invest­ ment. NATIONAL FIRE PROOFING COMPANY Money Trust She Knew.

FIREMAN ON DUTY WHEN TITANtC HIT ICEBERG GIVES SEN­ ATE HIS IfcORY. HELD AN IMPORTANT CLUE Senator William Alden Smith Takes New Testimony Aboard the White Star Liner Olympic at Her Dock In New York City. New York, May 27.—New evidence purporting to show that the Titanic was going at full speed with fire un­ der all but five of Its 24 boilers the night It sank was obtained here aboard the White Star liner Olympic, by Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the senate Investigating committee. Senator Smith, accompanied by Rear Admiral Watt, chief of the bu­ reau of construction In the navy de­ partment boarded the liner to take the testimony of Captain Haddock and Ernest Moore, the wireless opera­ tor. He also questioned. Fred Bar­ rett, who was chief fireman of the Titanic, but now Is employed on the Olympic. Both Captain Haddock and Moore testified that a message was received from the Carpathla at 2:35 p. April 15, saying: “Bruce Ismay under opiate." Tells How Comrades Died. A dramatic scene occurred when Senator Smith took Barrett's testi­ mony In the engine-room in the for­ ward part of the Olympic. As Bar­ rett told his story he stood In virtual­ ly the same spot where be had been on the Titanic when It collided with the Iceberg. "I was talking to the second engi­ neer when we got the danger signal.” explained tho fireman. “A red light came up In the hold and we sung out to close the dampers. There was a crash just after we sung out." Barrett described how he saw a vol­ ume of water rush through the ship’s side two feet above the floor. He re­ treated through the adjoining section, No. 5, In the engine-room. He said a water-tight door was closed from the bridge a few minutes later, imprison­ ing the stokers and engineers In com­ partment No. 5, where they went down with the ship. Barrett escaped to the boat deck and got in lifeboat No. 13. Says Signals Showed Speed. Barrett then explained that the sig­ nal had shown white, Indicating full speed. “How many boilers were lit?" asked the senator. “All but five of the twenty-four," said the fireman. "I don’t know, though, whether they were all con­ nected up or not" Senator Smith said later this testi­ mony was the most significant he bad obtained on the question whether the Titanic was trying to make a speed record. Senator Smith said that in his speech before the senate tomorrow he Would say that Captain Smith knew soon after the Titanic struck the Iceberg that the ship was doomed and that In reply to an inquiry from J. Bruce Ismay he said: “ We are gone." In questioning Captain Haddock, the senator showed he was eager to ascertain how Haddock handled the first message that came to him show­ ing that the Titanic was lost The captain said he had not sent ashore Lis first message from the California, telling of the finding of Titanic wreck­ age. because he wished to be accurate. The ’’Islefrank’’ message from Bruce Ismay to Vice-President Franklin, he said, had not been relayed through the Olympic. Captfiln Haddock told of having got one message from Ismay from the Carpathla. telling him to keep the Olympic out of slgfit of the rescued passengers, as there would be no transferring at sea. BARES SCHEME TO KILL TAFT Story Told by Man Convicted of Send­ ing Bomb to Pittsburg Million­ aire to Extort 15,000. Pittsburg, Pa., May 25.—William Pastorlous, who was convicted here last Wednesday on a charge of having sent a bomb to Alexander R.

RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES That’s the way you have to do sometimes in order to win. When things are going slow, and you realize that the years are flying past and you are not accumulating wealth as rapidly as you should, that the best years of your life are passing and that you are not improving them as you should, it’s a good plan to get into condition, jump into the ring of opportunity and take a good knock-out punch at your old enemy—indecision. Put him down and out at the first smash and proclaim yourself champion of your own field. Get in the game. Get started for yourself. Don’t be some other man’s man all your life or wear your life out on forty acres when you can make yourself independent in a few years on a larger farm. The men who win are the men who take a chance; who go in debt when necessary in or­ der to win; who pay their debts and buy more land. Look around you. You don’t have to go out of your own neighborhood to prove it. Wake up. Get in the game. and see us. Do it NOW. We can help you. Come FARM BARGAINS BIG CALHOUN FARM.

Wl—uia CoZkr* •/ Atri^ The watchword of the present 1 seems to be connervatlnn. This appar­ ently may be applied to all lines of work. Not only is this true In the commercial world, but It will hold true In rural pursuits. The farmer Is exerting every effort In obtaining more efficiency from bls activities and to do this he Is gathering about him every kind of modern machine or con­ venience that Is obtainable. Concrete on the farm Is becoming an Important factor and with the ad­ vent of this new medium of construc­ tion, feeding floors, troughs, racks, fence posts, silos, farm buildings and many useful necessities are being add­ ed to the farm equipment Many of these useful things may be construct­ ed by the farmer himself or his regu­ lar help. All that Is necessary Ir a working knowledge of concrete and Its reinforcements. In the construc­ tion of large buildings a knowledge of the reinforcement of beams and gird­ ers is required and such construction should be submitted, to an architect or a bridge engineer who Is acquaint­ ed with these problems. Materials used In the construction of concrete work are usually propor­ tioned 1-2-4 or 1-2V4-5, 1-2-8, 1-4-8, de­ pending upon their character. That Is, 1 part cement, 2H parts sand and 5 4 a layer °r mud OT clV Bettles over the sand, do not use IL Gravel or stone should be free from sticks, leaves or any foreign sub­ stance which would In any way de­ stroy the action of the cement upon the sand and gravel. If clay is pres­ ent, always wash it out by pouring wa­ ter over the sand or gravel which is to be spread over an inclined screen. Spread the cement upon the sand and gravel If they are In combination on the water-tight platform and mix until the whole mass la of uniform color. Then add water unless screened gravel or crushed stone is being used, in which case place the cement upon the sand, mixing until a uniform color; add gravel or crushed stone and mix thoroughly, and then add enough water to produce the proper consistency. Hoes or shovels can be used to mix the concrete, but the latter are more often employed. Concrete should be mixed in small quantities, only such amounts being prepared as will be used up Immedlately. Concrete -hardens so rapidly that lumps often begin to form throughout the whole mass before It can be used. Under these conditions the whole amount should be discard­ ed.

Table No. I. shows the materials necessary for one cubic yard of con­ crete. In order to determine the amount of cement necessary for any amount of concrete, estimate the number of cubic yards and multiply that number by the figure in the table opposite, “Bbls, cement per cubic yard of con-XjMe," and under “mixture to be used.” The amount of sand and of stone Is determined tn the same way. Bat-h mixing, as Indicated by the name. Is an intermittent process and is the one most used in silo construc­ tion. Under certain conditions the continuous mixing process may be em­ ployed. Continuous mixing is done by machinery, the materials being fed into the machine without interruption during the mixing process, which may continue for four or five hours. Batch mixing may be done by machinery if It seems more desirable. Simple me­ chanical mixers have been very suc­ cessfully constructed from an ordi­ nary kerosene barrel. Water should be added until a slop­ py mixture Is obtained. This will per­ mit the material to be readily poured. The concrete should be prepared upon a water-tight mixing platform, usually about 10x12 feet. - In placing the ma­ terials upon this platform, some meth­ od should be used to get the proper proportions; that is, if a 1-2-4 mixture is used, some simple measure for the materials should be employed where­ by this may be easily determined. Weighing is accurate, but somewhat meat la first wet, without being placed. In placing concrete, the most impor­ tant thing to be observed is the man­ ner of handling. The materials must not be separated when poured into the forma. Pouring from a considerable height should not be practiced, as tho W. B.

INTERVENTION IS NOT PLAN President Aaserts Marines Were Sent to Aid the Cuban Government in Quelling Disturbance on Island­ Ships to Awe Negroes. Washington, May 28.—The-United States government will not intervene in Cuba unless American lives are menaced or American interests suffer more heavily than they have up to date in the negro uprising. President Taft sent a cablegram to President Gomez assuring him that this government has no present Inten­ tion of intervening in Cuban affairs, and that warships and troops are be­ ing sent merely as a precautionary measure. President Taft telegraphed the message from Jersey City to Washington and it was officially cabled through the regular state de­ partment channel from this city to Havana. The message was an answer tb President Gomez’s cable to President Taft assuring him that the Cuban gov­ ernment Is able to cope with the situ­ ation there, and that there is no call for interference at -present Protection, Not Intervention. President Taft’s message was as follows:' ’ 4 "I am sincerely gratified to learn of your government’s energetic measures to put down the disturbances and to know you are confident of being suc­ cessful. Ab was fully explained to the Cuban charge d'affaires here this gov­ ernment’s motive In sending ships to Key West, just as in sending the Prairie to the Guantanaipo naval sta­ tion. was merely to be able to act promptly in case it should become necessary to protect American life and property by rendering moral sup­ port or assistance to the Cuban gov­ ernment. As was made quite clear at the time, these ordinary measures of precaution were entirely disassociated from any question of Intervention.” Message Carries Threat. The message of President Toft clearly carries the threat that if the Cuban government is unable to carry out its policy of pacification this coun­ try will act. "Americans must be protected," is the policy which the United States will follow. Protection will also be given to other foreigners in Cuba, to avert any diplomatic imbroglio with the European powers whose subjects bold large interests in the Island. .Warships to Awe Negroes. This government is of the opinion the presence ot nine great fighting ships within five hours of the Cuban coast and 15 hours of Mexican terri­ tory will have a most salutatory effect upon the revolution now in progress In both countries. If the moral effect of the dreadnoughts Is not sufficient they will be ordered to “maneuver'' off the Cuban or Mexican coasts while the news they have on board some 2,­ 000 marines armed and ready for in­ stant service, will be given widespread circulation. No News From the Paducah. Up to noon no news had been re­ ceived from the gunboat Paducah, which is supposedly at NIpe bay, Cuba, where there are large American fruit and iron interests, which would be threatened by the rebels. Besides “the Nebraska, Georgia, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Mississippi and Washington, which will arrive at Key West Wednesday night, it Is thought the Louisiana, Kansas, New Hamp­ shire and South Carolina now enroute to Hampton Roads—supposedly to meet the German fleet on Thursday of this week—will be rushed to the same place, and that later these ships will be joined by the Utah and Florida, to­ gether with some smaller ships. In case this is done, the United States will have 15 warships in Cuban wa­ ters—more than operated there dur ing the entire Spanish-American war. Cubans Are Relieved. Havana, May 28.—The message from President Taft deelaring that the movement of American troops was "entirely disassociated from any question of Intervention." caused a feeling of relief in government circles. President Gomez’s advisers asserted that it would greatly help him in crushing the revolt, because it showed that he had the moral support of the United States.

DETECTIVE UP FOR CONTEMPT Bitter Controversy Between Prosecu­ tor Fredericks and Counsel for De­ fense Over Foster's Alleged Dis­ closures —Lockwood Resumes, Los Angeles, Cal., May 28.—After, a bitter controversy between District Attorney Fredericks and counsel for the defense'in the Darrow bribery trial here Monday, Judge Hutton Is­ sued a citation for contempt against Robert J. Foster, chief detective for the National Erectors' association, based on allegations made in affidavits signed by Earl Rogers, Horace Appel, Harry Dehta and H. G. Giesler, attor­ neys for Darrow. Foster is to appear and testify, at which lime other witnesses will be heard in regard to. an interview pub­ lished in a morning paper and report­ ed In an afternoon paper in a modi­ fied form, in which Foster discussed evidence which it was alleged he helped secure against Darrow by means of the dictagraph, Foster being under subpoena as a witness at the time. Admits McNamara Bribery Testimony. Subsequent to the issuance of the citation. Judge Hutton gave his for­ mal ruling concerning the admissibil­ ity of testimony connected with the bribery of jurors and witnesses. His ruling gives a sweeping victory to the prosecution, as he decided that testi­ mony and evidence relating to any bribery connected with the J. B. Mc­ Namara case is admissible in thia trial. This gives the state all it baa asked for. Under the ruling Captain Fredericks will Introduce a vast amount of cor roboratlve material which the defense had hoped to keep out Rogers claims the effect of the decision is not ao sweeping and la not final, but the state is entirely satisfied with the court’s language. The court denied the motion tc strike out an answer made by Wit ness -George N. Lockwood to the effect that Bert Franklin had told him that one juror was already bribed. Jury Bone of Contention. The affidavits against Foster were presented - at the beginning of the court session. Captain Fredericks Im mediately asked that the jury be sent out while the matter was under dis cussion. Rogers contended that a de liberate attempt had been madt through the Foster interview to reach the jury, and demanded that the mat ter of contempt be discussed fn the jury’s presence. "But, Mr. Rogers,” said Judge Hut­ ton, "this effort. If there was one failed, for the bailiffs assure me that no juror has seen the printed inter view. Why make that effort success ful now by discussing it before th< jury?" Captain Fredericks asked to be re lieved of the prosecution in the con­ tempt proceedings against Foster, and the court appointed George Beebe, deputy attorney general, to act for the state. George N. Rockwood resumed the stand and, under the examination oi Captain Fredericks, continued the story ot the offer of a bribe to him by Bert Franklin, his report of the matter to District Attorney Fredericks, fur­ ther negotiations with Franklin under the direction of Captain Fredericks, and in the hearing of detectives from the district attorney’s office, and the final passage of the bribe, followed by the arrest of Franklin himself and C. E. White, whom Franklin had chosen as the stakeholder for the |3,500 which was to be paid following Lockwood's promised vote for McNamara's acquit­ tal Darrow Named In Testimony. Darrow was directly connected with the scene of the arrest in Lockwood's testimony. “As we walked along Main street, after the 1500 bill had been given to me,” said Lockwood, "a block and a half from Third and Los Angeles streets, where the money was passed, I saw a man start across the street toward us. Franklin said: *Walt a minute; I want to see that man.’ Just as they met, Detective Brown stepped up to them, brushed this man aside and arrested Franklin.” "Do you know who that man was?" asked Captain Fredericks. “He was Mr. Darrow, the defendant," answered Lock wood. Cashier H. T. Jeffery of the First National bank of Washington has ar­ rived here under subpoena ar a witness for the state. It is understood that he will be used to testify concerning the funds for the McNamara defense, col­ lected in the east, deposited in his bank and later sent to Darrow for use in the McNamara defense.

Stir yourself. Gatewood, or by God, Ill hold so fierce a reckoning with you—” The- sentence remained unfinished, for Fentress felt his overwrought nerves snap, and, giving way to a sudden blind fury, struck at the judge. “We are too old for rough and tum­ ble,” said the judge, who had dis­ played astonishing agility in avoiding the blow. "Furthermore we were once gentlemen. At present I am what 1 am. while you are a hound and a blackguard! We'll settle this as be­ comes our breeding." He poured him­ self a second glass of liquor from Fentress' decanter. • "I wonder if it is possible to insult you,” and he tossed glass and contenta in Fentress' face. The colonel’s thin features were convulsed. The judge watched blm with a scornful curling of the lips. "1 am treating you better than you- de­ serve," he taunted. "Tomorrow morning at sun-up at Boggs' race-track!" cried Fentress. The judge bowed with splendid cour- “Nothing could please me half so well,” he declared. He turned to the others. "Gentlemen, this Is a private matter. When I have met Colonel Fentress I shall make a public an­ nouncement pt why this appeared necessary to me; until then 1 trust this matter will not be given pub­ licity. May I ask your silencer* He bowed again, and abruptly passed from the room. His three friends followed in his steps, leaving Fentress standing by the table, the ghost of a smile on bls thin Ups. As if the very place were evil, the judge hurried down the drive toward the rood. At the gate he paused and turned on his companions, but bls features wore a look of dignity that forbade comment or question. He held out bls band to Yancy. "Sir," he said, “if I could command the riches of the Indies, it would tax part of my obligations to you." "Think of that!" said Yancy, as much overwhelmed by the judge's manner ns by his words. "His Uncle Bob shall keep his place in my grandson's life! We'll watch blm grow into manhood together" The judge was visibly affected.

At about the same hour that the judge was burling threats and insults at Colonel Fentress, three men were waiting ten miles away at Lbe bead of the bayou which served to isolate Hicks* cabin. Now no one of these three had ever heard of Judge Slocum Price; tho breath of bls tame bad never bloNn. however gently, in their direction, yet they were preparing to thrust opportunity upon him. To this end they were lounging about the opening in the woods where the horses belonging to Ware and Murrell were tied. At length the dip of oars became audible in the silence and one of the trio stole down tho path, a matter of fifty yards, to a point that overlooked the bayou. He was gone but a mo ment. "It’s Murrell nB right!” be said In an eager whisper. "Him and another fellow—the Hicks girl is rowing them.” He glanced from one to tn^> other of his companions, who seemed to take firmer hold of themselves un­ der bis eye. "It’U be all right,” he protested lightly. "He’s as good as ours. Wait till I give you the word.” And he led the way into an adjacent thicket Meantime Ware and Murrell had landed and were coming along the path, the outlaw a step or two in ad­ vance of his friend. They reached the horses and were untying them when the thicket suddenly disgorged the three men; each held a cocked pistol; two of these pistols covered Murrell and the third was leveled at Ware. "Hues!” cried Murrell in astonish­ ment. for the man confronting him was the Clan's messenger who should have been speeding across the state. 'Toss up your hands, Murrell," said Hues quietly. » One ot the other men speke. "You are under arrest!” “Arrest!" "You are wanted for nigger-steal­ ing,” said the man. Still Murrell did not seem to comprehend. He looked at Huet in dull wonder. "What are you doing here!" be asked. “Walting to arrest you—ain’t that plain?” said Hues, with a grim smile. The outlaw’s hands dropped at bls side, limp and helpless. With some idea that be might attempt to draw a weapon one ot the men took hold of him, but Murrell was nerveless to his touch; his face had gone a ghast­ ly white and was streaked with the markings of terror. "Well, by thunder!" cried the man in utter amazement Murrell looked into Hues* face. ened on his tongue, becoming an in­ articulate murmur. “It's all up, John,” said Hues. "No!" said Murrell, recovering him­ self. "You may as well turn me loose —you can’t arrest me!" “I’ve done it," answered Hues. 'Tve been on your track for six months." How about this fellow?" asked the mar. whose pistol still covered Ware. Hues glanced toward the planter and shook his head. "Where are you going to take me?" asked Murrell quickly. Again Hues laughed. "You’ll And that out in plenty of time, and then your friends can pass the word around if they like; now you’ll come with me." Ware neither moved nor spoke as Hues and his prisoner passed back along the path.

Presently the distant clatter of hoofs was borne to Ware's ears—•only that; the miracle ot courage and dar­ ing he had half expected had not hap­ pened. Murrell, tor all his wild boast­ ing, was like other men, like himself. His bloodshot eyes slid around in their sockets.- There across the sun­ lit stretch' of water was Betty—the thought ot her brought him to quick choking terrors.

(TO BE CONTINUED.) z WELL WORTH THE WHIPPING Adventurous Small Boy* Determined to See Cause of Commotion, and Had Their Reward. Ed Howe, the great Kansas editor of Atchison Globe fame, tells the fol­ lowing story In the American Maga­ zine: “So little that is really exciting or worth while has, happened in my life that I am greatly interested in Jim and Dan Ayers, who run a restaurant tn the town where I live. Something really happened to them onoe upon a time, and when I go to their restau­ rant I enjoy hearing them tell' about IL "When they were boys, they lived on a farm in Virginia; I have heard them say their post office was Sudley Springs. One Sunday morning their father started them to Sunday school, and after they had loitered along the way a mile or two Jim Ayers re­ marked a commotion over be­ yond what they called the Big Woods. ’"What's thatT Jim asked, stop­ ping. "It was getting late by this time, and Dan replied: “ 'I don’t know, but we’d better hurry and get to Sunday school, or we’ll get a whipping.’ , "Then,they hurried on. but the com­ motion over beyond the Big Woods broke out again, faintly, but it was very unusual, and Jim stopped and listened. He had never beard anythlnk like it before, although he was a big boy twelve years old and. listen­ ing a while, be said: “ Tm going over there.’ “'Better not,’ Dan said. *You know father whips hard.’ “But the strange commotion contin­ ued, so Jim said he was going, whip­ ping or no whipping. Dan followed, but kept saying they would catch it when they returned home. "They walked and walked and walked; all the time the commotion over beyond the Big Woods became more pronounced, but they couldn’t tell wha’. It was. They forded streams, and were chased by strange dogs, but kept on from ten o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon. They had nothing to eat, and they didn't know that they could ever find their way back, because they were in a country strange to them. But they kept on, and a little after three o'clock, as a reward for their perseverance, they walked into tho battle of Bull Run. I never before heard of boys going anywhere and finding anything an great as they ex­ pected.” Fatal French Blank Cartridge. A strange and sad accident occurred in the course of drill maneuvers at Montreuil-sous-Bols, in the suburbs of Paris, where a soldier was killed by a blank cartridge discharged at him by a fellow soldier. A company ot the Thirty-first regiment was taken out to Montreuli for maneuvers. At three o’clock in the afternoon the lieuten­ ant in command decided to order a sham attack on a fort, which his sol­ diers were to storm. Some of the sol­ diers were posted as sentries, and the others were told that in storming the imaginary fort they were to try spe­ cially to take the sentries prisoners, but a formal order was given to the soldiers that they were not to load their rifles. In spite of this a shot was suddenly heard, and a soldier fell with a groan. He was a young recrult called Laurent, and near him stood another soldier who had acted as sentry and was completely dumfounded by what had happened. Either he did not know that there was a cartridge in the weapon or be fired thinking that it was only a part of the sham fighting. Laurent was taken to the hospital at Begin, and soon after­ ward expired. He had been killed by the packing of the blank cartridge, which, being fired within only a yard, or two of him, acted like a bullet The unfortunate soldier was the eldest son of a widow, who has three smaller children to bring up.—Paris Corre­ spondence London Telegraph.

A man who went half way around the world on a wild-goose chase for a supposed burled treasure continued from New York to Salt Lake for the pleasure of thrashing the man who told him the story of a great cache which did not exist. If he will now employ somebody with an adequate sized boot to take care of bls own case the Incident will have reached tbe logical conclusion. The name "Puritan" suggests whiteness and pureness and cleanness. It con­ jures up a picture of the demure Puritan maid bending over her own needle­ work. It conveys the idea of the de­ pendable fabric and exquisite workman­ ship which characterizes these increas­ ingly popular garments. Ask to see them. NOTICE.

A horses height 1b measurer’, in | “hands” (4 Inches) from tbe summit ; of the withers to the ground. A typi-; cal, ideal draft horse stands over 16 i hands (5 feet 4 inches) and under 18 ■ hands high. Tali, leggy horses, if de- j flcient in weight, width and quality,! are undesirable. Such horses often are found affected with St Vitus' i dance. Exceptionally tall horses (over 17.2 hands) are difficult to match in I pairs and therefore may not meet I with ready sale ou the market Such! horses are chiefly used for single work l or as the middle horses of three horse • teams. A draft horse should weigh 1,600 j pounds, or more, tn ordinary flesh. I Weight In a draft horse is absolutely I necessary for the hauling of heavy ■ loads. It enables the horse to derive' full benefit from tbe strength of his muscles, adds to the effect of his mo­ tions and gives him a flrm grip upon the ground. Heavy weight is a use­ less burden when not associated with adequately developed frame and mus­ cle. It should be accompanied by vigor and energy. Tbe form of the draft horse should be broad, deep, massive, evenly pro­ portioned and symmetrical, the entire makeup suggesting groat strength and weight The body should be blocky, and compact, with short, broad, clean, well set legs showing fine skin, large joints and prominent tendons. The entire appearance of the draft horse should be indicative of strength for heavy hauling. A massive body, set squarely on sturdy legs Is re­ quired. Good quality is shown by fine, bright silky hair; soft, pliable skin; clean, well defined tendons; smooth well developed muscles; strong, smooth bones. It usually is associated with style, spirit and intelligence in­ dicative of ••breeding.” • A draft horse does most of his hard work at the walking gait It is there­ fore Important that he should be able to walk fast without tiring. He should be able to walk four miles an hour with a load. To do this the action must be perfectly regular, straight and level. Joints must be quickly and fully flexed; feet must be advanced and set down without deviation from a straight line. Soles of the feet should turn up and show the shoes plainly as the horse moves away from the observer, at both walk and trot The feet should be lifted quick­ ly, evenly and be set down squarely and firmly. There should be n»> "paddling,” “dlshlpg," or "winging" In or out, cut­ ting or interfering, mr should the fore legs swing out or "roll," or the hind legs be carried too close together or too far apart. In judging of the ac­ tion the observer must note the move­ ments of each leg and foot, tbe handling of each joint and the car­ riage of the entire body, as the horse walks and trots. Watch closely tor lameness. The hocks should be car­ ried well together when in motion. Rolling, or waddling to'front Is due to too great width ol chest Knee and hock action should both be free and comparatively high. Perfection ot ac­ tion at the walk is ot highest impor­ tance in the draft horse. The draft horse should show a vig­ orous, lively, energetic disposition, yet be docile, tractable and intelli­ gent He should be neither sluggish, nor irritable, nor excessively nervous. Noticeable vices, as cribbing, wind sucking, weaving, tall switching, shy­ ing, biting, kicking, head shaking, etc., are undesirable. Sluggishness associated with fat should be avoided, as it induces disease. Stupidity, clumstores, meanness or excessive nerv­ ousness are objectionable and should discount the animal. The head should be large, propor­ tionate in size to the body and well formed, clean, tree from coarseness and irregularities. Strength may be shown in'the bead as well as tbe rest of the body. 1' should be carried well up and balance* properly upon the neck. The shoulder of a draft horse should be moderately sloping, smooth and extending well back. A majority bf poorly formed draft horses have shoulders which are too steep. Occa­ sionally the shoulders are too sloping. Either extreme in n draft horse is ob-’ Jectionable. Trouble with collars comes from these causes when the horse Is doing heavy'pulllng. The cor­ rectly laid shoulder should form a smooth,’ comfortable bed for the col­ lar. Straight or upright shoulders de­ tract from easy, free action of the forelegs and generally are found asso­ ciated with upright pasterns. The shoulders should be smoothly and deeply covered with muscles and be free from coarseness, roughness, sores and tumors. The withers should be well covered and moderately high. Tbe forearm, extending from the el­ bow to the knee, should be long, wide, heavily muscled and free from coarse­ ness. This portion of the body of the draft horse, together with the lower thigh (gaskin) of the hind leg, cannot be fattened, but is cdtaposed chiefly of lean muscle-and bone. The muscles should be prominent in front and above and the entire part clean and free from puffiness and coarseness. The knees should be straight, wide, deep, strongly formed and smooth. So long as these and other joints are free from puffs, bony growths and meatiness, they cannot well be too large or too strongly developed. Knees should be straight and so set as to perfectly carry the weight of the body. Sprung knees, or "buck knees," bent in tbe forward direction are as objectionable as those of the reverse typo which are known as "call kneds.” Examine the knees for blem­ ishes and the cannons for splints dose up to the knees.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE Dutch Cookies have no equal for that “so home­ like taste.” Crooked or “Sickle” Hock. likely to cause lameness., Blemishes may Indicate tendency to falling. The hoofs should be ample in sixe, sound, smooth and symmetrical in shape. Tbe chest encloses the heart and lungs; it should be roomy in every respect A narrow, shallow chest de­ notes poor constitution, lack of endur­ ance and deficient breathing organs. If too wide the action tends to wad­ dling or rolling. A narrow chest and high knee action often go together. An ample, wide, deep chest denotes vigor, power, strong constitution and easy keeping qualities. Poor hocks are a common fault to draft horses. It is Important to im­ prove this deficiency. To that end breeding animals should have good hocks and for work horses this also is imperative. Tbe hock (not “hind knee") is commonly the seat of some one of such diseases as bone and bog (not "blood”) spavin, thorough pin and curb. These should be avoided. The joint should look and feel firm, bard and with each bone well defined, free from meatiness and of great sise. The point ot tbe bock should be prominent, clean and sharp and the tendons un­ der it strai>;t, distinct, but free from bulging.

"It sounds well, Price, but where's tbe money coming from to push a law­ suit’” CHAPTER XXVII. Beas Leads to Betty. Just where be bad parted from Ware, Carrington sat bis horse, bls hrows knit and his eyes turned In the direction of the path. He was on his way to a plantation below Blrard, the owner of which had recently import­ ed a pack of bloodhounds; but this unexpected encounter with Ware had affected him ctrangely. He still heard Tom’s stammering speech, he was still seeing his ghastly face, and he had come upon him with startling suddenness. He had chanced to look back over his shoulder and when h’o faced about there had been the plant­ er within a hundred yards of him. Presently Carrington’s glance ceas­ ed to follow the windings of the path. He stared down at the gray dust and saw the trail left by Hues and bls party. For a moment be hesitated; If the dogs were to bar used with any hope of success he bad no time to spare, and this was the merest sus­ picion, illogical conjecture, based on nothing beyond his distrust of Ware. In the end he sprang from ♦be saddle, and leading his horse into tbe woods, tied It to a sapling. A hurried investigation told him that five men had ridden In and out of that path. Of the five, all coming from the south, four had turned south again, but the fifth man—Ware, In other words—had gone north. He weighed the possible significance of these facts. "I am only wasting time!" ho con­ fessed reluctantly, aud was on the point of turning away, when, on the very edge of the road and just where the dust yielded to the hard clay of the path, his glance lighted on tbe print of a small and daintily shod foot Tbe throbbing of his heart Quickened curiously. •’Betty!’’ The word leaped from hia Ups. That small foot had left but the one Impress. There were other signs, however, that claimed his attention; namely, the boot-prints of Slosson MEATS - MEATS He Was as Securely Gagged as He Was Bound. With the first approach of darkness Carrington made hia way to the shed? Hidden In the shadow he paused to listen, and fancied be heard difficult breathing from within. The door creaked hideously on its wooden hinges when he pushed It open, but as it swung back the last remnant o£ the day's light showed him some dark object lying prone on the dirt floor. He reached down and his hand rested on a man’s booted foot “George—” Carrington spoke softly, evitable discovery that these tracks but the man on the floor gave no sign that he heard, and Carrington's ques­ They began suddenly and as eudden- tioning touch stealing higher he found John ‘Ackett A carriage had turned CASTOR IA n.(HYalmJUn)>lo<tM ently h© caught his first glimpse of ths bayou and his legs shook under him; but tbe path wound deeper stlH into what appeared to be an un­ touched solitude, wound on between the crowding tree forms, a little back from the shore, with an intervening tangle of vines and bushes. He scanned this closely as be hurried forward, scarcely conscious that be wlb searching for some trampled space at the water’s edge; 'but the verdant wall preserved Its unbroken continuity, and twenty minutes later he came withhi' sight of Hicks’ clear­ ing and the keel boat, where It rested against the bank. A little farther on he found the spot where Slosson had launched the skiff the night before. The keel of his boat had cut deep into the slippery clay; more than this, the Impress of the small shoe was repeated here, and just beside it was the print of a child’s bare foot He no longer doubted that Betty and Hannibal had been taken across the bayou to the cabin, and he ran back up the path the distance of a mile and plunged Into the woods on his right, his purpose being to pass around the bead of the expanse of sluggish water to a point from which he could later approach the cabin. But the cabin proved to be better defended than he had foreseen; and as he advanced, the difficulties of the task he had set himself became al­ most Insurmountable; yet sustained as he was by his Imperative need, he tore his way through the labyrinth of trailing vines, or floundered across acre-wide patches of green slime and black mud, which at each step threat­ ened to engulf him in their treacher­ ous depths, until at the end of an hour he gained the southern side of the clearing and a firmer footing within the shelter of the woods. Here- be paused and took stock of his surroundings. The two or three buildings Mr. Hicks bad erected stood midway of the clearing and were very modest Improvements adapted to their owner's somewhat flippant pursuit of agriculture. While Carrington was still staring about him, the cabin door swung open and a woman stopped forth. It was tbe girl Bess. She went to a corner of the building and called loudly: “Joe! Oh, Joe!" Carrington glanced in the direction of the keel boat and an Instant later saw Slosson clamber over Its side. The tavern-keeper crossed to the cab­ in, where he was met by Bess, who placed in his hands what seemed to be a wooden bowL With tills he slouched off to one of the outbuildlags, which he entered. Ten or fif­ teen minutes slipped by, then he came from the shed and alter securing the door, returned to the c^bln. He was again met by Bess, who relieved hldl of the bowl; they exchanged a few words and Slosson walked away and afterward disappeared over the side of the keel boat This much was clear to the Ken­ tuckian: food had been taken to some one In the shed—to Betty and the boy!—more likely to George. He waited now for the night to come, and to him the sun seemed fixed In the heavens. At Belle Plain Tom Ware was watching it with a shuddering sense of the swiftness ot its flight But at last the tops of the tall trees obscured it; it sank quickly then and blazed a ball of fire beyond the Arkansas coast, while Its dying glory spread aslant the heavens, turn­ ing the flanks of the gray clouds to violet and purple and gold.

He was turning over this astonishing statement of the slave over in his mind. "Well, no. Mas’r; seems like they ain’t, so thick here recently." "I reckon you’d better keep away from the big house yet a while,” said Carrington. "Instead ot going there, stop at the Belle' Plain landing. You'll find a raft Ued up to the shore; it be­ longs to a man named Cavendish. Tell him what you know—that I’ve found Miss Mglroy and the boy; tell him to cast off and drift down here.

Mr. Hill was engaged In logging when In some way he was struck on the back of the head by a piece of timber, crushing the skull. A physician who was hastily sum­ moned said that the only hope foe him was to get him to a hospital where the fractured skull could be operated on, and the unfortunate man was conveyed to the hospital at Petos­ key, but the trip was made In vain, for he expired about .five minutes af­ ter reaching the hospital.

CALLS COMBINE A MONOPOLY J. Pierpont Morgan Realized the Enor­ mous Profit of 4636,000,000 for En­ gineering Big Consolidation, Says Committee. Washington, June 10.—The Stanley committee, which made an exhaustive Investigation into the United States Steel corporation, will file Its report with the house of representatives within the next ten days. The report will directly accuse J. Pierpont Mor­ gan, leading spirit tn the steel trust, of being the arch enemy of the Sher­ man anti-trust law and of the inde­ pendent steel business In the United States. It will show that in the or­ ganization of this one company Mr. Morgan and his personal associates reaped the unprecedented profit of 1636.000.000. Report Recommends Dissolution. The report will recommend legisla­ tion for the dissolution of the United States Steel corporation as a monop­ oly on raw material within the defini­ tion of the Sherman anti-trust law un­ der the recent decision of the Su­ preme court and as a holding com­ pany In defiance of a former decision In the case of the Northern Securities company, a railroad combination. It will also recommend: Federal Incorporation and registra­ tion of all Industrial corporations do­ ing an interstate business with the right of federal Inspection, such as Is now exercised over federal banks. That the states be given the right to control the tax to be levied on corpor­ ations and the character of Its busi­ ness.

Says Morgan Fled Country. Delay In the presentation of the re­ port was directly due to the hope of Chairman Stanley that J. Pierpont Morgan would return to the United States In time to testify. "Mr. Morgan purposely fled the country to escape appearance before the committee." said Chairman Stan­ ley. '3 am not without hope that we will be able to summons him.” Mr. Morgan, It will be stated In the report, consolidated sixteen com­ panies on more than 200 subsidiary concerns Into the giant corporation be now controls. The steel corporation Is the bolding company for concerns capitalized at >1.119.000.000. Steel Trust Profits Enormous. According to the report made to the Stanley committee by F R. McRae, chief accountant, as totaled In the Stanley committee report, the sales of the steel trust aggregated up to December 31. >5.404.631.046 and the net earnings >905.039.607. The net earnings per ton on steel products has been >13, or about 40 per cent on cost Mr. Morgan reaped a profit of >630.000.000 from the promotion of the steel corporation In addition to >6,800,000 out of a bond conversion scheme presented by George W. Perkins, one of Morgan's partners. From April 1. 1901, to December 31, 1910, It has derived an Income of >801.369.481. It has paid In dividends on preferred stock >269,414,628 and In common stock >124.511,660. The report will show that the steel trust is a monopoly In its control of workable Iron ores in the United States.

Mr. Slos­ son, who clearly regarded his relation WHEN YOU to the adventure as being of an offi­ GO FISHING cial character, continued to stand at Carrington’s elbow. "What have we between l^re and the river?" inquired the latter.' It was best, he felt, not to give Slosson an opportunity to ask questions. “It narrows considerably, pardner, but It’s a straight course,” said Slos­ son. “Black in yonder, ain't it?" he added, nodding ahead.

OUR Ain John Ackett CASTOR IA TM IM YttHmAhnp Boaght Her cob-pipe was not suffered to go out and with Connie’s help aqekept the six small Cavendishes from risk­ ing life and Umb in the keel boat, to­ ward which they were powerfully drawn. Despite these activities she found time to caU to Betty and Han­ nibal on the cabin roof. "Jump down here; that ain’t no nttin’ place for you-ail to stop In with them gentlemen fightin'!" An instant later Betty and Hanni­ bal stood on the raft with the little Cavendishes flocking about them. Mr. Yancy’s quest of his nevvy bad taken an enduring hold on their Imagina­ tion. For weeks It had constituted their one vital topic, and the fight be­ came merely a satisfying background for this interesting restoration. “Sho’,' they’d got him! Bho’—be wa'n't no bigger than Richard! Bho'I” “Oh!" cried Betty, with a fearful glance toward the keel boat. ‘'Can't you stop them?” "What fo’?’’ asked Polly, opening her black eyes very wide. ’’Bless yo' tender heart!—you don’t need to wor­ ry none, we got them strange gentle­ men licked like they was a passel of children! Connie, you-all mind that fire!" She accurately Judged the outcome of the fight. The boat was little bet­ ter than a shambles with the havoc tuat had been wrought there when Yancy and Carrington dropped over Its side to the raft. Cavendish fol­ lowed them, whooping his triumph as he came. CHAPTER XXIX. the wide-flung branches of the trees which here met above his head, Car­ rington caught sight of the starspecked arch of the heavens beyond. They were issuing from tho bayou. He felt the river snatch at the keel boat, the buffeting of some swift eddy, and saw the blunt bow swing off to the south as they were plunged into the black shore shadows. But what he did not see was a big muscular hand which had thrust itself out of the impenetrable gloom and clutched the side of the keel b aL Co­ incident with this there arose per­ fect babel of voices, high-pitched and shrill. ••flho’—l bet it’s him! Bho’—it’s Un­ cle Bob’s newy! 8ho’, you can hear ’em! Sho’, they're shootin’ guns! Sho'l" Carrington cast a hurried glance in the direction of these sounds. There between the boat and the shore the dim outline of a raft was taking shape. It was now canopied by a wealth of pale gray smote that faded from be­ fore his eyes as the darkness lifted. Turning, ho saw Slosson and his men clearly. Surprise and consternation was depleted on each face. The light increased. From the flat ■tone hearth of the raft ascended a tall column of flame which rendered visible six pigmy figures, tow-headed and wonderfully vocal, who were toll­ ing like mad at the huge sweeps. The light showed more than this. It showed a lady of plump and pleasing presence smoking a cob-pipe while sho fed the fire from a tick stuffed with straw. It showed two bark shanties, a line between them decorated with the never-ending Cavendish wash, it showed a rooster perched on the ridge-pole of one of these shanties in the very act of crowing lustily. Hannibal, who bad climbed to the roof of the cabin, shrieked for help, and Betty added her voice to his. “AU right, Nevvy!" came the cheer­ ful reply, as Yancy threw himself over the side of the boat and grap­ pled with Slosson. "Uncle Bob! Uncle Bob!" cried Hannibal. Slosson uttered a cry of terror. He had a simple but sincere faith in the supernatural, and even with the Scratch Hiller’s big bands gripping his throat, be could not rid himself of the belief that this was the ghost of a murdered man. "You’ll take a dog’s licking from me, neighbor," said Yancy grimly. “1 been saving It to' you!” Meanwhile Mr. Cavendish, whose proud spirit never greatly inclined him to the practice of peace, had pre­ pared for battle. Springing aloft he knocked his heels together. "Whoop! I’m a man as can slide down a thorny locust and never get scratched!” he shouted. This was equivalent to setting his triggers; then he launched himself nimbly and with enthusiasm into the thick of the fight It was Mr. Bunker's unfortu­ nate privilege to sustain the onslaught of the Earl of Lambeth. The light from the Caveqdlsb hearth continued to brighten the Not the way they went—’’ and Betty glanced out Into the black void where the -keel boat had merged into the gloom, "No, no—but we can’t get the raft back’up-stream against the curre*~, so the best thing Is to land at the Bites’ plantation below here; then as soon as you are able we edn return to Belle Plain,” said Carrington. There was an interval broken only by the occasional sweep of the great steering oar as Cavendish coaxed the raft out toward the channel. The thought of Charley Norton's murder rested on Carrington like a pall. Scarcely a week had elapsed since he quitted Thicket Point, and In that week the hand of death had dealt with them Impartially, and to what end? Then the miles he had traversed In bls hopeless journey up-river trans­ lated themselves Into a division of time as well as space. They were Just as much further removed from the past with its blight of tragic ter­ ror. He turned and glanced at Betty. He saw that her eyes held their steady look of wistful pity that was for the dead man; yet in spite of this, and in spite of the bounds beyond which be would not let his imagination carry him, the future, enriched with sudden promise, unfolded itself. The deep sense of recovered hope stirred with­ in him. He knew there must come a day when be would dare to spepk of his love, and she would listen. "It’s best we should land at Bates' place—we can get teams there," ho went on to explain. "And, Betty, wherever we go we’ll go together, dear. Cavendish doesn't look as if he had any very urgent business of his own, and 1 reckon the same is truo of Yancy, so I am gnlng to keep them with us. There are some points to be cleared up when we reach Belle Plain —some folks who’ll have a lot to ex­ plain or else quit this part of tho state! And I intend to see that you are not left alone until—until t have the right to take care of you for good and all—that’s what you want mo to do one of the^e days, isn’t it, dar­ ling?” and his eyes, glowing and in­ finitely tender, dwelt on her upturned face. But Betty shrank from him in in­ voluntary agitation. "Oh. not now, Bruce—not now—wo mustn't speak of that—it’s wrong— The Raft Again. Yancy and Cavendish threw them­ selves on the sweeps and worked the raft clear of the keel boat, then the turbulent current seized the smaller craft and whirled it away Into the night; os Its black bulk receded from before his eyes the Earl of Lambeth spoke with the voice of authority and experience. "It was a good fight and them fel­ lows dono well, but not near well enough.*’ A conclusion that could not bo gainsaid. He added, “No one ain’t hurt but them that had ought to have got hurt Mr. Yancy’s all right, and go’s Mr. Carrington—who’s mighty welcome here." The earl's shock of red hair was bristling like the mane of some angry animal and his eyes still flashed with the light of battle, but be managed to summon up an expression of winning friendliness. “Mr. Carrington's kin to me, Pol­ ly,” explained Yancy to Mrs. Caven­ dish. His voice was far from steady, for Hannibal had been gathered into his arms and had all but wrecked the stoic calm with which the Scratch Hiller was seeking to guard bls emo­ tions. Polly smiled and dimpled at the Kentuckian. Trained to a romantic point of view she had a frank liking for handsome, stalwart men. Caven­ dish was neither, but none knew bet­ ter than Polly that where he was most lacking In appearance he was richest in substance. He carried scars hon­ orably earned in those differences he had been prone to cultivate with less generous natures; for bls scheme of llf< did not embrace the millennium. “Thank God, you got bore when you did!” said Carrington. “We was some pushed fo’ time, but ■I Was Quite Peevish After Ho Throw we done IL" responded the earl mod­ Me In the River. estly.

Uncle Bob?” cried the little Cavendishes in an excited chorus. “Sho'—did you for- get that?" They themselves had for­ gotten the unique enterprise to which Mr. Yancy was committed, but the allusion to Slosson had revived their memory of it "Well, he begged so piteous to be allowed fo’ to keep his hide, I hadh’t the heart to strip it off,” explained Mr. Yancy pleasantly. “And the winter's comln* on—at this moment I can feel a chill in the air—don’t^you-all reckon he's going* to need it fo* to keep the cold out?

"But I'm right pleased to be able to say that I’ve got over all thorn oncharltablo thoughts of mine.” "And you seen the judge. Uncle Bob?” questioned Hannibal. . “Yes, I’ve seen the Judge.

He felt that was a secret to be revealed by the Judge himself when he should see fit “Uncle Bob, who'm I going to live with now?" questioned Hannibal anx­ iously. “That p’lnt’s already come up, Newy—him and me’s decided that there won’t be no friction. You-all will Just go on living with him." “But wha’. about you. Uncle Bob?" cried Hannibal, lifting a wistful little face to Yancy’s. “Oh, me?—well, you-all will go right on living with me.” "And what will come of haffy?" "I reckon you-all will go right on living with him, too.” "Uncls Bob, you mean you reckon we all are going to live in one house?" “I How It will have to be fixed thata-ways," agreed Yancy. (TO BE CONTINUED.) LETTUCE WHILE YOU WAIT Dinner Guests Msy See It Grow on the Tsble for Their Salad. When at a dinner in Rome a tourist was served with strawberries, still growing on the parent vine. In a com­ mon earthen pot which was concealed by a sash of wide ribbon, she thought this was the last word with regard to serving food at the dinner table. It remains, however, for a New York florist to work what seems like a mir­ acle. He claims to be able to grow lettuce while you wait—crisp lettuce for dinner to eat with your broiled spring chlckeu. When asked !o reveal his secret be said: ”1 take a bandful of lettuce seeds that have been soaked over night In alcohol and I plant them In a box containing three Inches of loam add quicklime. I water this well, and in ten minutes the seeds burst In twenty minutes two tiny leaves push through the earth. The leaves grow and multiply. In an hour they are as big as dollars. Then you may pluck and eat them. They are delicious—a fairy salad. Sometimes when I give a dinner party I have one of these Httle prepared lettuce beds In the center of the table. The guests see the let­ tuce grow, and when the time comes for the aalad course there is their salad blooming before them all ready for them to pluck." Considering what marvels in the way of cooking are accomplished with the chafing dish and denatured alcohol stoves, and scientific marvels like this, we may reasonably expect to see the lamb driven In alive, slaughtered, and cooked before our very eyes.

NO ONE STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH. The celebrated Dr. Abernethy of London wa» firmly of the opinion that disor­ ders of the stomach were the most prolific source of human ailments in general. A recent medical writer says: “ every feeling, emotion and affection reports at the stomach (through the system of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly. It is the vital center of the body He continues, " so we may be said to live (through) the stomach.” He goes on to show that the stomach is the vital center'of the body. For week stomachs and the consequent indigestion or dyspepsia, and the multitude of various diseases which result therefrom, no medicine can be better suited as a curative agent than /’/epee’s Golden Medical Discovery. “ Several months ago I suffered from a severe pain right under the breast-bone,” writes Mbs.

GLASGOW FOR QUICK RESULTS Try a Want Ad. lz- spoke BETTY, the LOBBYIST Betty Grierson rose from her seat on. a rock and walked to her car which stood at the roadside. From It she took a large flog bearing the words: "Votes for Women.". She fas­ tened the lettered banner, spread to its widest extent, across the side of the car tn full vkw of the road. Then she returned to the rock. An automobile whirled down the road. As it drew near the car at the roadside and the girl on the rock its rapid speed was checked.. But when It came opposite the banner the brake was suddenly released and the car passed on more rapidly, than it had come. Many more cars came down the road, moderated their speed as they approached the glrl and her car, and when the flag flapped its great letters before them, dashed ahead at an ac­ celerated pace. With her back to the road, Betty sat gazing at the wide river, at the bills beyond it and at the purple and golden mists that hung above the hills. "is there anything wropg with your car?" Betty turned. Behind her stood a young man with his hat in his hand. “Do you refer to the badge of lib­ erty that flaunts upon it?" “No, indeed. I mean the engine, or the tires. Are they cut of order?" "My car is in perfect condition." "But I thought, as you were sitting here alone, your car by the road, that you might have had an accldent.” "I have had no accident” There was a note of exasperation In her voice.

The equal suffrage bin,” he ex­ plained, nodding toward the car. “It was introduced in the house a week ago and referred to the committee of which I am chairman. When a bill is In the hands of a committee all persons are privileged to appear at the. committee meetings and present their arguments for and against the measure. We have been expecting the advocates of the suffrage bill to come before us with their pleas for U- I see that you are aa avowed cham­ pion of the cause. As chairman of the committee, I am anxious to have as much information as possible on the subject Will you not give me some of your opinions on it, some of your reasons for desiring lu pass age?" Betty looked hard at the river. Her Ups were tightly compressed. When she spoke there was an uncertain lit­ tle catch in her voice. “I want the ballot" she said. “I am deeply interested in the meuure before the committee of which you are cnairman. The young man sat down on a Jog beside the rock. For two weeks Richard Allerton, chairman of the committee on revi­ sion of laws, gave his attention to the suffrage question. Or, to be more ex­ act, he gave his attention to Betty Grierson. The other women who were actively Interested in the passage of the bill appeared at various times be­ fore the committee and presented their arguments. But Betty Grier­ son never came into the committee room. Whatever arguments she n^gde were presented to the chairman in the parlors of the hotel at which she was staying, in the visitors' gallery of the bouse ofc representatives, on golf links and on the automobile roads about the capital. “I suppose, Allerton," a fellow mem­ ber remarked one day, "that you wMl vote against the bill to buy and close the plant ofc the Merley Powder com­ pany.” "I shall vote for the bill." “Mis* Betty is very beautiful and yov—" . ••What has she to do with ItF' “The slate wants to turn the Merley to do » lb, M.rlw Po-rd.r comPW will !.»>■<. to b. doprlTed, br act Gt the legislature, of the use of the current of ths river.

The other man stepped back out of reach ot Allerton's clenched fist. "Your charges are cruel." said Betty, when be had finished bls ar­ raignment “And—and part of them are true. I am a deceitful, dishonest person." She turned .her face away from him and went on speaking. Her voice was unsteady and occasionally she choked and the words refused to come. “I am not a suffragette. I don't know anything about the subject When 1 was a little girl I lived here. There was a spot I loved better than anything else in my little world. It was a big rock at the turn of the road above the bend In the river. The road was not an automobile thorough­ fare then. It was a quiet, country lane. I used to sit on the rock and watch the river and the hills and dream all the wonderful things that only children can fancy. "We moved away. The day you saw me on the rock was the first time I had been there since I was a little girl. I had come back to the capital to see about some farm lands I ownhere. I went to the bld rodk to see if the dreams would come back. "Every automobile that came along stopped" and the occupants asked if I was having trouble with my car. I could not dream with those interrup­ tions every -five minutes. A suf­ fragette friend had that day left a ban­ ner in my car. I fastened it on the car, thinking that men would hurry by at sight of IL They did. "Then you came. Your eyes were big and brown and your mouth was flrm and beautifully shaped and your hair crinkled adorably, and—and I wanted to talk to you. I let you think I was a suffragette because I want­ ed you to stay—" ' "But the Merley Powder company? Is that your real reason for being here? Are you lobbying for it?" "No—ho. I am not I haven’t a dollar in it ' Tsuly I have not. But I did have. Must I tell you any more? Won't you trust me, Richard, and not ask me to tell you—" “Go on. Tell me everything." ’ "A few days ago some one said that you Intended to. vote to close the Powder company and hinted that 1 was trying to Influence you in favor of the company. I did not want you to think that I was trying to get your vote and—and so I sold my stock. I was in such a hurry to disposed of it that I let it go for a mere fraction of its value—" "You sacrificed your property be­ cause you feared I should think—” The amazement in his voice stung her. She whirled toward . him. "I have plenty of money. Don't flatter yourself that I have beggared myself for the sake of your opinion—” She looked at him for the first time since she had begun her confession. The look in his eyes stopped her irate words. “Betty, you're—you're the dearest, the best— Let’s go to the rock by the river and dream a new dream, the sweetest one in the world. Don't turn you face from me, dear, unless you want me to kiss the back of your head." SOUR MILK FOR THE AGED Doctor Gray of Mexico Advises It for Those "Who Crave It, Not for Those Who Don't. • The most striking example of the utility ot sour milk is afforded by Dr. Robert Gray of Mexico," says a writ­ er in the Dietetic and Hygienic Ga­ zette. “On a diet of buttermilk and clabber this remarkable man, over 80 years old and practicing in a climate not conductive to physical or mental activity, is doing a practice that would be burdensome to a man in his prime In Minnesota. A daily walk of twen­ ty-five miles is usual to Dr. Gray, and. be travels many more miles over the Mexican excuses for roads on muleback. "The secret lies in the fact that Dr.Gray has always craved these foods. This craving is not a matter of appe­ tite, but its roots go deeper, Into the physiologic needs of the body. I do not believe that these articles would prove as useful to one who disliked them and could not taste them without a shudder, even after faithfully par­ taking of them daily for weeks to get the palate and digestion accustomed to them. “But if such a one felt the same craving for sweet milk or cream, crav­ ing existing from infancy and never sated, I fully believe that these should prove better fitted to his needs than the articles that were distasteful. The fact that the administration of arsenic favors the formation of lactic acid and maintains the acidity of the blood may be one reason why it has proved use­ ful, in the treatment of the aged.” Trick of the Trade.

The judge lay still and thought deeply as the light intensified itself. What was It that Mahaffy bad said he was to do at sun-up? The very hour accented his suspicions. Prob­ ably It was no more than some cheer­ less obligation to be met, or Mahaffy would not have been so concerned about it. Eventually he decided to refer everything to Mahaffy. He spoke his friend's name weakly and In a shaking voice, but received no answer. “Solomon!” be repeated, and shift­ ing bls position, looked In what should have been the direction ot tbe shake­ down bed his friend occupied^ Neith­ er the bed nor Mahaffy were there.

Then all In a flash he re­ membered Fentress and tbe meeting at Boggs', something of how tbe eve­ ning had been spent, and a spasm of regret shook him. “I bad other things to think of. This must never happen again!" he told himself remorsefully. He was wide-awake now. Doubt­ less Pegloe had put him to Led. Well, that bad been thoughtful of Pegloe— he would not forget him—the City Tavern should continue to enjoy his patronage. It would be something for Pegloe to boast of that Judge Slocum Price Turbervllle always made bls place headquarters when in Raleigh. Feeling that he had already conferred wealth and distinction on the fortu­ nate Pegloe the judge thrust his lat legs over the side-of bis bed and stood erect. Stooping he reached lor his clothes. He confidently expected to find them on the floor, but his band merely swept an uncarpeted waste. Tbe judge uas profoundly astonished. "Maybe 1 ve got 'em on. 1 don't recall taking them off!” he thought hopefully. He moved uncertainly In tbe direction of tbe window, where the light showed him bls own bare extrcmitles. He reverted to bls orlgInal idea that his clothes were scat­ tered about tbe floor. He was beginning to experience a great sense of haste; It was two miles to Boggs' and Fentress would be there at sun-up.

The sun was clear of the treetops, be could even feel the lifeless dust grow warm beneath hls feet; and wrapping the quilt closer about him he broke Into a labored run. Some twenty minutes later Boggs' came In sight He experienced a mo­ ment of doubt—doubtless Fentress had been there and gone! It was a hideous thought and the judge groaned.

KLEINMANS’ STREET CLEANING LONG AGO Franklin's Autobiography Tells How He Promoted the First Contract Job In Philadelphia. Recently at one of the luncheons at the City Club of Philadelphia there was read an extract from the auto­ biography of Benjamin Franklin which was said to describe the first Instance of street cleaning by con­ tract tn Philadelphia. The Incident is interesting also, however, as illustrat­ ing citizen co-operation in its original simplicity. • “One day.” Franklin wrote, "I found a poor Industrious man, who was will, ing to undertake keeping the pave­ ment clean by sweeping It twice a week, carrying off the dirt from be­ fore all tbe neighbors* doors, for the sum of six-pence per month, to be paid by each bouse. I then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the ad­ vantages to the neighborhood that might be obtained by this small ex­ pense. ... I sent one of these papers to each house, and in a day or two went around to see who would sub­ scribe an agreement to pay these six­ pences; It was unanimously signed, and for a time well executed. This raised a general desire to have al) the streets paved, and made the people more willing to subscribe to a tax for that purpose.”—Tbe Survey.

When the industrial history of the twentieth century is Anally written, its most thrilling chapters will al­ most surely be those that .tell the story ot the motor car—its sudden dash to popularity, its marvelous manufacturing successes, and its costly tactical failures. So say men learned In the lore of the business world. Certain It is, at any rate, that no department ot the world’s manufacturing history has yet fur­ nished so great an amount of indus­ trial romance. News of the latest feat of this kind comes, as one has learned to expect, from Detroit. In one week, a Arm manufacturing annually an out­ put marketed at $50,000,000, com­ pletely reorganized the executive per­ sonnel of its system of distribution and then, with the new organization In charge, scored the Bales success during the Arst month, that eclipsed all its former records for a similar period. How this was done, without In the least disturbing the progress of a busy selling season, is a story of vi­ tal interest to every business .man. The Arm is the Studebaker Corpor­ ation whoso mammoth automobile division, manufacturing E-M-F "30" and Flanders "10" cars, maintains a round dozen plants. The Studeba­ kers market their produce through a system of forty branch warehouses and service stations in the main trad­ ing centers. Each of these supplies cars direct to that part of tbe 2,200 Studebaker dealers in its territory. The branch managers make all con­ tracts and, to practical ends, each Is the Studebaker Corporation in his own region. A combination of circumstances made it advisable. In the judgment of the Studebaker management. to eliminate a certain element In its sales department. Tbe change In­ volved the sales manager, his assist­ ant and the managers of nearly a third of the Arm's branches. To the automobile world the en­ ergy seemed unexpected. Such was, however, far from the truth. When Germany decided to go to war with France, General Von Moltke took from a certain pigeon-hole in his desk a complete plan of campaign, drawn up months before. When his emergency came. General Manager Gunn of the Studebaker Corporation did virtually the same thing. An. experienced sales manager, Ernest R. Benson, was already in waiting. With him, as assistant, came Arthur I. Philip, also a man pe­ culiarly Atted for his work. For every branch in which a change was necessary, there was ready the as­ signment of a manager, every ap­ pointee carefully schooled for his par­ ticular job. The change was made during tbe Arst week of May. Almost on that exact date, the automobile buying public made a concerted onslaught on Studebaker dealers, which disposed of virtually every car on their Aoors, and this despite the fact that the com­ pany had made most generous provi­ sion fbr the expected rush. Several of the branches where changes were made, were among the sales leaders for the month. Incident to the revision and har­ monizing of the sales department. Sales Manager Benson announces a complete list ot the new branch man­ ager appointments. All these men are now Armly es­ tablished in their new positions, the change haring been effected without, so far as known.

The imperative need of harmony In home surroundings as well as tn busi­ ness life is being felt by thinking more every day. It is Impossible to do our best work in any atmosphere of confusion, and It is an almost In­ variable rule that illness and dis­ turbed nerves are the penalty exacted If we allow ourselves to be drawn in­ to conditions that do not spell har­ mony. Our home la our castle, and nothing should be allowed to enter therein that makes us unhappy. If one is obliged to take strangers into the home on account of financial consideration it is wise to make sure that they are not antagonistic in any way that will affect the family rela­ tions, otherwise it is better to give up the extra profit and do with less if it means peace of mind. There is no price too great to pay for harmony, for it means health, happiness, finan­ cial success to you and yours, the ability to help others, and all through the gaining and holding the mental poise which is the peace of under­ standing. Some of us have to be beat­ en with many stripes before we real­ ize the need of and grasp the knowl­ edge of harmony, but those who have already felt a longing for it and pause to listen will get tbe revelation and receive its gosv«l Uk» ^uedlction.

The Giant Admiral Wood mower is one of the strongest built and easiest running mowers sold. Its wide truck keeps the large wheels from traveling on the mown grass, and the floating balanced frame makes it easy to handle and operate and avoids all side draft. THE CROWN:—We have it in the single and double speed gear. The single speed is the’ fast speed which is used on all mowers and which is too fast in many places. But the Crown mower can be changed in a second to low speed, making light draft and resulting in longer life to the mower. Come in and look them over. C. L.

When your feet are not right—paining you—corns continu­ ally on edge—makes you hate to put your feet down solid, it makes life just about unbearable—you’re wrong all over, day in and day out. One of the simplest yet most effective methods of removing coms is to apply NYAL’S CORN REMOVER That'* all there is to it—just apply it and don’t hiss with bandages It relieves all pain, banishes discomforts and removes the corn when you’ve forgotten you ever had one.

Furniss REMARKABLE ELECTRICAL STORM. The electrical storm “which swept over our village last Friday evening was unusually tevere, but fortunate­ ly doing little damage In thia vicinity. Jt was travelling in a northwesterly direction and was rather narrow in breath, a considerable quantity of the much needed rain falling in the village while practically none was noticed'to the east or west. Aa the thunder clouds approached the electri­ cal display was remarkably brilliant, the sky being continually streaked with blinding flashes ' of lightning accompanied by pealing crashes. When fairly overhead the detonations became terrific, bolts of lightning striking repeatedly about -the town. In Maple 'Grove the only damage thus tar reported was at Lee Lap­ ham's, where lightning struck one end of the house, followed a Aire clothes line through, the attic and stripped the siding from the other end of the building. Mr. Uapham was protected by insurance and the loss has already been adjusted: lu the village bolts struck the school house, and also the dwelling houses of E. B. Townsend and Mrs. Simmons in the east part of town and Chaa. Brumm's house across the river. Aside from stunning the occupants the damages were nominal, several windows being broken and meters and telephones burned out. The loss of two lives at Mulliken is reported. The Sliver Family Circus, which, was here last Tuesday night, was showing at that place and during the perfor­ mance the tent was struck by light­ ning and the two actors jvho walked the tight wire were killed.. ASSYRIA FARMERS CLUB. The Assysrla Farmer's club met June 22 at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry-Stevens. Over one hundred were present to partake of the bountiful spread, which all seem­ ed to enjoy. After dinner President Mayo called the club to order. The club then sang "Our Flag", follow­ ed by devotional by Rev. Roy Wolfe. Secretary’s report was then read and approved. The program committee selected were H. L. Thompson, Anna Jones and Mabel Moore. Mrs. I. W. Cargo read a fine selection entitled, "Home from a child's standpoint", which brought out many fine points for parents to think about if they wish to keep their boys and girls at home. The should surround the children with all the happiness their means will provide. A recitation by Harry Jewell was good and enjoyed by all. Master Krantz Keller favor­ ed the club with a fine recitation, which was very much appreciated. The addresa by Rev. Roy Wolfe, "Progress of the twentieth century" was fine. He mentioned many im­ provements in machinery and means of locomotion, which we enjoy that our fathers did not know anything about. Dane Benson then favored the club with a fine recitation, which was enjoyed by all. Lewis Norton was asked to tell what he saw at the fairs. He told of some of the things he saw and said that he would tell more at another time. Mrs. Kate Cox recited a temperance poem which just suited every body. The ciub gave Rev. Wolfe a rising vote of thanks. The club then sang, "God be With you till we Meet Again", and adjourned to meet with Mr. and Mrs. William C. Brown the fourth Saturday in July. SCRAPPING GYPSIES SKIP. A band of horse-trading gypsies struck town Tuesday, and while clus­ tered about the corner of Main and Washington streets got Into an al­ tercation with some of theby-standers when the age of one of their colts was called in question. Clarence Bachellor, who was sitting on a box at McDerby’s was drawn into the af­ fair, and was assaulted by one of the gang. Clarence raised his foot and pushed the fellow away, whereupon one of the gypsy women took a hand In and tried a regular Jack Johnson punch at Bachellor. Clarence very properly refused to scrap with a fe­ male, even if she wanted a fuse ever so badly, so the row ended In a tor­ rent of hot words. Officers were summoned, but before they arrived the outfit was on its way toward Eaton county. At first, steps were taken to apprehend them and bring them back, but upon sober second thought it was thought best to let them beat It if they would, calling it good riddance. THE FREE TUITION LAW. Many boys and girls in the state of Michigan were deprived of a year in high school because parents, guar­ dians and School officers were not fa­ miliar with the free tuition law in which important changes have been made recently. In order to secure the tuition It Is necessary for the parent, guardian or person who stands in parental control to make a written application to the board in the district of which he or she is a resident. The application is to state the name of the child for whom it is made and must? be presented In writ­ ing on or before the fourth Monday of June. It must be made each year that the child desires to attend a high school situated outside of his own district. When the proper application is made, the board of a district which does not maintain a high school must pay up to |20 a year to any one of the three nearest high schools, the parents making the selection. The money must be paid by the treasurer of the district to the treasurer of the high school district at any time the latter district demands it. The law defines a high school as a graded dis­ trict maintaining twelve grades of work with at least two teacher^ de­ voting their entire teaching time to the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades, but also permits primary schools maintaining ten grades of work with at least one teacher de­ voting his or her entire teaching time to the ninth and tenth grades. These are the only two classes of schools to which districts may pay high school union. The districts main­ taining a ten-grade school do not have to pay tuition on their own pu­ pils until the latter pass the tenth grade. The students eligible for this tui­ tion are only those under 20 years of age who have passed the eighth grade state examination conducted in each county and secure a diploma; those who passed the eighth grade in a graded school and have written state­ ment to that effect from the superin­ tendent and those who made applica­ tion for tuition under the 1909 law.

MAN AND THE SOIL. Dr. R. V. Pieroe of Buffalo, author of the Common Sente Medical Adviser, says “ why does not the farmer treat his own body as he treats the land he cultivates. He puts back in phos­ phate what he takes out in crops, or the land would grow poor. The farmer should put back into his body the vital eietrrots exhausted by labor, or by ill-health induced by some chronic disease.” Further, be says, “ the great value of my Doctor Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in its vitalizing power.

PLNEAPPLE There was no particular excitement when the Hon. John Watkins and his son James arrived- at the mountain resort on an August day. The Hon. John was sixty-five years old and rich and a widower. His son was twenty years old and confiding and fat. But for the son’s confiding na­ ture It would not have been known to all the guests within three days that the governor, meaning his old man, was on the lookout for a second wife, qnd he wanted a young one at that. The Hon. John neither denied nor confirmed tho , story. He simply lookud about like a man who would marry if he found the right woman. There were mammas who secured in­ troductions to him when they heard of his wealth, and there were a very few daughters who looked at him from afar off and wondered If they wanted another grandpa. It was when the Widow Savage ar­ rived that the flutter began. She was fair and forty. She had the inde­ pendent toss of thd head that goes with widowhood after the first year. She had little ways with her eyes and mouth that made all the other worn-, en jealous the very first day. Of course, the stupid men simply looked upon her as a widow, but it was ber own sex that unmasked her. When one of them said: "That widow has come here to catch a man!" all re­ peated,it in chorus. There were plenty of young people at the resort. Some widows, as soon as hearing that the Hon. John was wife-hunting, would have gone man­ hunting In return. The Widow Savage didn’t She eluded him. She didn’t coddle the fat son. as some women did. She forced father and son to keep their distance and se­ lected only after three or four days. Her victim was a young man. He had already tangled himself up with a blue-eyed girl a year younger, but that fact did not sway the widow the least bit. When she got ready to ap­ propriate him she did so.

John was giving ber all his attention. They sat together and walked together and talked together, and the fat son saw things and took his father to task by saying: "Now, gov, don’t make a fool of yourself. That girl won’t make a mammy for me. Why don’t you go for the widow F" "James, the widow is blase," was the reply. "The second time a wom­ an marries she marries for money. She marries to boss the resort. She marries hoping her husband will soon get off the earth and give her a third show.” "But she’s a staver, gov. Fine looker, and what a walk she has on her! If you are elected to congress next year what a team you’d make!” "But the Widow Savage. James, has almost snubbed me. I will confess that I had an eye on her for a day or two, but Bhe Is cold and distant—cold and distant She may argue that I would outlive her." But, as If to prove that the Hon. John’s diagnosis was all wrong, the Widow Savage threw herself in his mother had said it didn’t matter in the,least, but it did matter. It mat­ tered ’just the dlfferenoe between And then the Widow Savage sud­ denly appeared and took ber arm and walked bur up the path to the Outlook, and when they were seated on the rocks she softly said: "I am not your enemy, but your friend. You don't wish to marry that old man. do you?" . '"Mercy, nol” was the reply, as Miss Smith forgot ber desire for revenge. "Well. I do." "But you—you got Frank away from me." "And Tm going to give him back. I was just Using him as a means to and end. I called him a booby a moment ago. and he’ll be on his knees to you tomorrow. Tho Hon. John Is to be my pext husband." "But bow—how do you work things Check off the things you need in the following list of specials. "By being a widow. Now, listen to The.evening came on with a full, clear moon. The moon so worked on the sentimental nature of the Hon. John, as well as the surrounding corn crop, that he Invited Miss Smith to wander with hhn. To bls great joy she accepted his arm. They walked as far as Seal Rock and then sat down and gazed at the moon. Porpoise Rock. Fish Rock and Whale Rock also were near at hand. After the silence had lasted four or five minutes the Hon. John cleared his throat The noise set the frogs In tho pond a-piping. After another Interval he took Miss Smith’s hand In bls. There came a third intervaL and then he begun to tell her. his life history. It was a sad one. It was full of step-fathers and step-mothers and boils and colic and kicks from sows that cared not for his forlorn condition. He had married and not been happy, and lost his wife and not been happy over that, and for years and years had lived a lonely life with only a fat son to cheer him. He was rich, but lonely. He was rich, but ho yearned. He wanted a fireside with a cat and a wife. He wanted to come home after a hard lay’s work in seeing the district lead­ ers of the Tenth ward and have some one call him hubby. At Intervals of about a foot, as marked off on a tape measure, Miss Smith sighed and cuddled, but that was all. As the Hon. John brought his story down to date and his voice broke and he had to use his hand­ kerchief to wipe away the scalding tears. Miss Smith’s own handker­ chief got away from her and the night breeze carried it to Porpoise Rock. She twisted away her hand and van after it and even disappeared behind the rock for an instant. She had returned and taken her seat again and surrendered her hand by the time the Hon. John had chased the tear away and was ready to say: "And now, love. It is for you to say whether this lonely life shall con­ tinue or not." The hand he held squeezed his. "I have loved you since the first moment I saw you." A harder squeeze. . "And I ask you to be my wlferi "I win, John!" "By thunder, it’a the widow!" ex­ claimed the Hon. John, as he scram­ bled to his feet "And we’ll say a month from to­ day if that will please you!" The Hon. John hurried away to the hotel to consult his fat son. “She’s got you tight gov. and you'll have to go through with It," was the Information extended. "Putup Job, but breach of promise and aU that If you don’t stand by your word. Splendid looker! Splendid dresser! Superb walker! Bay, parent you just missed making an ass of your­ self.

The intake for cold air is located In the bake room, and when the flames had destroyed the oxygen in the room the lights in the fore part of the shop died down. The trouble was soon discovered, and a bucket brigade formed. The cistern, fortu­ nately stood near the back door and they soon had the fire under control.

Certain trifling peculiarities sur­ vived with tbe judge even after he bad entered what be bad once been prone to call the Portal of Hope; for while his charity was very great and he lived with the splendid air ot plen­ ty that belonged to an older order, it required tact, patience and per­ sistence to transact business with him; and his creditors, of whom there were always a respectable number, discovered that he esteemed them as they were aggressive and determined. He explained to Yancy that too great certainty detracted from the charm of living, for, after all, life was a game— a gamble—he deaired to be reminded of this. Yet he w^s held in great re­ spect for his wisdom and learning, which was no more questioned than his courage. Thus surrounded by his friends, who were devoted to him, he began Hannibal’s education and the prepara­ tion of his memoirs, intended primar­ ily for the instruction of his grand­ son, and which he modestly decided to call "The History of My Own Times,” which clearly showed the magnificence of his mind and its out­ look. THE END. _____ Patrolman’s Brave Act. A New York patrolman of the East 126th street station, sent thrills up and down the spines of several hun­ dred persons in Third avenue the oth­ er afternoon when he leaped for the head of a runaway horse, missed the bridle, fell sprawling, and then picked himself up in time to get a grab at the end of the flying wagon. Such was tho speed at which the outfit was moving that the policeman, to the ad­ miration of onlookers, was hoisted in­ to the wagon. He found It impossi­ ble to stop the horse, but calmly sat in the driver’s seat and waited until the animal was halted by a string of street cars at 138th street Tbe horse had run more than three miles. Bought to Swallow Will. A curious scene occurred recently in a lawyer’s office at Castanet, near Toulouse, France. The lawyer was reading the wlil of a landowner who recently died, in the presence of the relatives of the deceased. The de­ ceased left practically his whole es­ tate to his widow, and this fact so in­ furiated a cousin that he suddenly jumped up, snatched the will from the lawyer's hands, tore it into fragments and, cramming them into his mouth, endeavored to swallow them. He was seized by the throat and finally forced to disgorge the bits of paper, which were afterwards gummed together.

But he could not think what he had done to produce the gathering storm. They . had been in the park and there had enjoyed themselves like a couple of children playing truant Everything had been merry until Justbefo: j they took the car for home. Then Mrs. Joyce had suddenly froze up. Joyce had made numerous efforts to thaw her out but be had met with no encouraging signs of success. He decided to try again. "You don’t know how much prettier you are when you smile,” be said with a labored attempt at a Joke. Silence greeted this remark. "Do you know you have two deep wrinkles when you frown like thatT” he asked. A withering glance was the only acknowledgment of this remark. ’I’ll say ’maka' If you will say 'up'." Joyce tried again. Mrs. Joyce gave not the slightest in­ dication that she meant to say “up" or anything else. Joyce surrendered and went to reading an evening newspaper which he drew from bis pocket They rode several blocks with no change in their attitude. Then Mrs. Joyce, glancing out of the window on the opposite side from her and inci­ dents stealing a look nt her husband, was dumfounded to find him deeply immersed in bis newspaper.

A beautiful wedding took place at the home of Mr. andMrs.E. 8. Redding June 27, 1912, at four o’clock, when their daughter, Mertle M. was united in marriage to Carl L. Brat tin of Sid­ ney, Mont. Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by W. J. Miller, an­ nounced the approach of the bridal party. The bride met the groom at the foot of the stairs and they pro­ ceeded through an aisle of« ribbons to the north end of the porch, where the ring service was performed in the presence of near relatives and friends of the bride and groom, by Rev. C. D. Thornton, of Grand Rapids, before a bank of daisies and fems. A bright picture they made as they stood before this bank of white and green and as the words were spoken which united their lives in one all felt that the future held many bright promises for them. The ring was concealed in a ttny wheelbarrow decorated with white ribbon and daisies and wheeled by little Ruth Redding a niece of the bride. Tbe gifts were especially beauti­ ful und numerous, including a piano from the bride's parents. Mrs. Brattin Is well known in Gobleville, having spent most of her girlhood here. She is a graduate of the GobleviHe high school, where she gained many friends by her charm­ ing personality. ’ Mr. Prattin is a ofM. law * "Well," said Mrs. Joyce, on the de­ fensive, “she thought you were look­ ing at her and that kind of woman always thinks she can get any man's admiration." "She does, does she? Well, she’s got several more thinks! I have right here a little woman that has all the blondes from here to Helena faded to a frazzle." Joyce beamed on his wife. Mrs. Joyce smiled and pulled her skirts closer to her as she said: "I wish you wouldn’t sit so far out in the aisle. You look awfully uncom­ fortable that way." • Pasture to rent. John Ehret.

A WORD TO COAL USERS. We wish to make a statement in regard to tbe shortage In the out­ put of hard coal. In the July num­ ber of the “Coal Man”, a coal deal­ er's magazine, published in Minneap­ olis, the output of hard coal July 1, 1912, was between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 tons short, and that owing to some of the mines not working full time and many of them being short of mines to work. It would be Impossible to reach a normal condi­ tion for at least 12 months It Is a fact that but few coal companies are making any shipments at the present time. We sincerely believe that all who possibly can. should place their coal orders at once, and fill their bins early this summer. All orders to us will be appreciated’ and given our prompt attention. Respectfully yours, Townsend Bros. McCormick Binders and Mowers are the strongest and best tools made—no others meet the requirements of so large a number of farmers.

LENTZ AVOID RHEUMATISM Those almost insignificant pains in the small of the back mean trouble—it’s a warning of kidney weakness—inability to separate the poisons from the blood. The action of the kidneys is incessant—they work constantly and in company with the liver and bladder strive to purify the blood and keep the system free from poisons. They should have help—if they become weakened and neglected it means Rheumatism or Bright’s disease. If you would avoid these dan­ gerous diseases use NYAL’S STONE ROOT COMPOUND Start with the first symptoms and make sure that the kidneys are restored to their normal strength and activity. Nyal’s Stone Root Compound was devised for that very purpose—to assist the kidneys, bladder and liver in their functions and rid the system of Uric Acid andjjther poisons. Does it, too.

Charlie, again, but the latter, who Is fully able to care for himself, tackled the old fellow and took the knife away from him, and told him he would have him arrested, whereupon the old man ran out the back way and started down the alley. Charlie called up Justice Kidder and swore out a warrant, charging the father­ in-law, whose name Is Paul Separratp, with assault with intent to kill. Marshal Caley caught Separrato on the railroad track, west of town, headed for Hastings, and brought him back and locked him up In the village jail for safe keeping until Monday morning, when he was taken to the county Jail In default of ball in the sum ot $1,000, Deputy Sheriff Furniss making the trip to the coun­ ty seat with him. Separrato is to have a hearing next Monday, when he will undoubtedly be bound over to circuit court for trial. When Mar­ shal Caley locked Separrato up In jail, he went through his pockets and relieved the old man of a choice se­ lection of cutlery, including four ra­ zors and another pocket knife. Nashville’s annual Harvest Festi­ val, which is to be held this year on August 15 and 16, will be augmented this year by a band tournament, the first one ever held tn Nashville, and the first one in this part of the state for a number of years. Invitations have been sent out to' twenty bands In this vicinity, and it Is thought that probably half of them will accept, as the prizes offered are very liberal and the local expenses of all bands will be paid by the committees. Three MAPLE LEAF GRANGE. prizes are offered, 1100.00 first prize, Maple Leaf Grange, No. 940, will $60.00 second prize and $40.00 third prize.

The legislature at that time will elect two United States senators, one to fill the vacancy and the other to succeed Senator Cullom. Discussion of the possibility of Sen­ ator Cullom's election to serve out Senator Lorimer's unexpired term has been revived as a result of the senior senator’s vote against Lorimer. Sena­ tor Cullom's term will expire March 4 next year. Lawrence Y. Sherman is slated to succeed him. If at that time Senator Cullom should bo named for the Lorimer vacancy be would serve until March 4/1916. Solemn Scene at Voting. The voting on Senator Lorimer's right to retain hla seat was a solemn proceeding. There was a deathly si­ lence In tbe senate chamber while the roll was being called. When the an­ nouncement of the vote was made there was no sound of approval or dis­ approval. Senator Lorimer concluded his speech at 1:30 o'clock While the vote was being taken be aat in his seat In the back row on the Republic­ an side of tbe chamber. His faoe was flushed and for the first time since he began his long, game fight be seemed to grow nervous. He appeared dejected and depressed. No one spoke to him while the roll call was in prog­ ress. When the announcement of the vote wao made Mr. Lorimer arose slowly He braced hie shoulders, threw his bead Id the air, allowed a strange sort of a smile to come over bls face and walked toward the door. As Mr. Lorimer reached the door Senators Smoot, Crane and Bailey, three of those who stood by him to tbe last, shook his band. Senator Smoot threw his arm over Mr. Lori­ mer's shoulder and walked a few steps with him. Mr. Lorimer went to bls rooms In the senate office building. He was ex­ hausted from his three days* speech and a physician was summoned by one of bls friends. After resting a few hours be went to his hotel In an auto­ mobile with David L. Frank and Wil­ liam J. Cooke, Chicago friends, and Charles E. Ward, his secretary. Plana to Ce.itinus Battle. During bis final speech Mr. Lori­ mer reiterated bls Intention to keep up the fight He declared repeatedly that as long as his strength holds out he will devote himself to spreading the truth regarding bls case through­ out the nation. Mr. Lorimer closed bls speech by declaring In most dramatic fashion that he would be a coward if he avert­ ed expulsion by resigning. He assert­ ed that if the evidence had shown that even one vote tor him was pur­ chased he would have promptly of­ fered his resignation, but under the circumstances he would not do so even if he knew that every senator would vote against him. After Senator Lorimer sat down Senator Dixon of Montana. Rooeevelt's campaign manager, arose to deny the charges contained In affidavits pre­ sented by Mr. Lorimer relative to al­ leged promises of money to Taft dele­ gates if they would swing to Roose­ velt ' Tillman's Plea for Lorimer. Before the roll call waa started Sen­ ator Tillman of South Carolina asked permission to explain bis vote. He sent a statement to the reading clerk which was read. Senator Tillman voted for Lorimer last year and did so again tn the final ballot He is running tor re-election In bls state and has serious opposition, but de­ clared be would go down to defeat before be would vote against Lorimer. fl ROOD flME I If you are interested in any particular farm, right now is a splendid time to look it over, for you can tell not only what kind of soil it is, but the sort of crops it actually produces, which after all is the important factor.

Into the Maelstrom. They say that coming events cast their shadows before, but certainly I had no intimation when I left my office in the afternoon of April twelfth, of the maelstrom of mystery and tragedy Into which I was abodt to plunge. I was worried and anxious, it Is true, but only as every young man is who finds himself for the first time deeply in love. There was no pprtent of evil, no foreshadowing of tbe terrible chain of events that all but destroyed my belief in my fellow-man, and ’left its mark so deep upon my memory that I do not believe time ever can wholly efface IL Even now that it is all ended, and tbe shadow which hung so heavily over the household of my sweetheart ha® been dispelled and thp band whose devilish Ingenuity brought shame and grief and wreck to so many Innocent lives is paying tbe penalty behind prison bars—even now I. shudder at the sight of anything yellow. A scrap of yellow paper vividly recalls—and I fear always will recall—the painful events of the last few weeks. £had been waiting ever since my re.turff* from court for a telephone mes­ sage that had not come—tho word from Loui-se which I felt would decide my fate. I bad written to her the night before, asking if I might go to her in the afternoon to speak on a sub­ ject of Importance. I knew she would understand the object ot my letter, though all that 1 hud asked was that she would telephone me earlier than four whether she would be at home. From my window I had watched tho great hand on the Metropolitan tower clock creep slowly to twelve. As the chimes began to sing the hour of four I felt that I could bear the suspense no longer. Message or no message, 1 would go to her at once. . Before the vibrant note ot "On-n-n-n-e” had died away I closed my desk with a bang. Aa the fourth stroke reverbeiated I stood with hat and overcoat on, my hand on the knob of my office door, hoping yet to hear my telephone ring. Impatiently I waited a' minute and then dashed toward tbe elevator. The telephone, I learned afterward, rang almost tbe minute I was out of the room and Louise's voice called fran­ tically for me, but I was not there to bear. It was only a short walk up Madison avenue to the home of General Par­ rish, the father of Louise. With the doubt tbat possesses every lover on such a mission as this, I walked It, now laggardly, as misgivings filled my heart, now quickening pace as hope routed my fears. I turned tbe corner into the syreet where the Farrlsh home is situated my steps were leaden. What right had I to ask Louise Farrlsh to be my wife? Tbe daughter of a man worth many mil­ lions, a girl of exquisite beauty and of many accomplishments, oza who could choose a husband where she willed—what right had I to hope that she would ever consent to become the wife of a struggling young lawyer of the besL With my earning^ and the modest little fortune my father had left me I would be able to provide for her. But aa yet, though my pros­ pects were bright, I amounted to noth­ ing in my profession. It would be years before I could hope to give my wife the luxuries to which Louise Farrlah had been accustomed. On tbe other hand, I felt that with Louise as my wife I could do great things. I loved her with a great love. I felt that her affection and companion­ ship would be inspiration enough for any man to conquer the world. I hoped that she loved me. I recalled the triflei which seemed to show, at least, that she found pleasure in my society. I tried to comfort myself, too, by remembering that General Parrish was a self-made man, that when be married he was as poor as I, if not poorer. I knew that he liked me and had confidence in me. Was it then, after all, I asked myself, presuming in me to hope that Louise would lis­ ten to me and that her father would consent to her becoming my wife— yet, why had she not telephoned? As I dragged my hesitating feet across the street I was aroused from my reverie by the rush of an automo­ bile that all but knocked me over. With an angry imprecation at such reckless driving I glanced up and recognised the man who occupied IL He was standing beside bls chauffeur, tor Wilcox, a noted practitioner who attended tbe Farrlsh family, and whom I had met at their home. 1 plunged forward in anxious dismay as I saw tbe machine halt before the Farrlsh door and the doctor jump out and run up the steps. My first, my only thought was of Louise. What could have happened? She must be ill—desperately Ill, as the doctor’s haste suggested. Did not this explain her failure to telephone? Could l.t be that ebe was dead? What thoughts flashed 'through my mind I cannot analyze further. I only know I reached the house but a step behind the doctor. He had hardly passed through the door when I, too, flung myself into the hall and stood there swaying, with not voice enough to ask a question of the. white-faced, horrorstricken maid who had answered the doctor's ring. "Where is she?" I heard the doctor ask as he flung his coat to the maid and started up the stairs. Before she could answer him there were hurried foot steps on tbe upper landing and Louise peered down, the anxiety in her face lessening at tbe welcome sight of the doctor. I gave a silly cry of joy and started up the stairs. Doctor Wilcox was ahead of me, three steps at a time, and, following Louise's silent direc­ tion, had disappeared in a room on the second floor, when I, with out­ stretched arms, approached ber. I did not think*to ask what had happened or who was ill or what the matter was. My only thought was one of joy that she was alive and well. What mattered if Louise was safe? And the emotion that filled me was still more intensified when she ran to me, and throwing herself into my arms, cried out: "Oh, Harding, thank God, you’ve come!" ■ It was almost the first time she had called mo by my name, certainly the first tbat she ever had given herself to my embrace, and I held her close­ ly, thrilled through at the thought that it was to me she turned in time of trouble. Then, all at once, I was aroused by the opening ef the door through which Doctor Wilcox had gone and tbe appearance of a maid, who ran along the ball. "What is it? What has happened?" I asked. "Katharine," moaned Louise, “Kath­ arine—she has killed herself!" For a moment I was stunned. The first thought that came to me was the impossibility of it What place had tragedy in this happy, quiet home? Familiar enough, though I was, with deeds of violence, with selkmurder as it thrust itself forward in the courts and in tbe lurid head-lines of tbe newspapers, that such a thing could Intrude on the peace of this well-or­ dered household seemed beyond my comprehension. “ I telephoned to you, but you were not in your office," sobbed Louise, still clinging to me in the abandon­ ment of grief. "When did you telephone?" I asked, even under such circumstances rejoic­ ing to learn tbat she had telephoned. “Just after she did it—I don’t know when it was—it seems ages ago. I couldn’t—get you and—I thought—you would never come—then—then—I tele­ phoned for the doctor and father." Just after she did it! I had been trying to make myself believe it must have b»en an accident, though from Louise's manner I feared the worst Yet Katharine Farrlsh was the last -Oh, Harding, Thank God, You’ve Cornel” person in the world of whom one would think in connection with sui­ cide. A quiet, reserved girt of great strength of character, several years older than Louise, her dignity and her well-considered actions had led me to believe ber far less emotional than ber younger sister. "It was an accident, of course," 1 said, though doubtfully. . "No!” gasped Louise, shuddering anew at tbe thought of the horror she had just witnessed. "I heard the shot and found ber on the divan in her room. The revolver was still in her hand—her own revolver." For the first time it came to me with sudden vivid foroe that tn the elder sister's life, behind the smiling mask of reserve she always wore, ras hidden some secret sorrow. I un'ers’.ood, now, that far away look in ... _ did I suspect whither my efforts to find why Louise’s plater had shot herself would lead me. Little did ‘I imagine in what a web of criminal cunning, of baffling crime, of hidden evil, 1 would find myself. , As I strove to soothe Louise’s agitatlon the doctor appeared at the door­ way and Imperiously beckoned me. I tiled to persuade Louise to wait out­ side, but she clung to me like a frightened child and Insisted on ac­ companying me into the room. "Here,” said the doctor In the curt tones of authority, "I want you to help me carry her Into a quieter place before I operate." “This way,” said Louise, recovering herself as soon as she-saw the oppor­ tunity to be useful, “Into my rooms. They are off the street and much qui­ eter." I saw the look with which she tried to read the doctor's face and put the question she dared not ask. “Will she live?” Doctor Wilcox shook his head gravely. "She is just alive and that Is all. I can not tell yet whether or not we can save ber. There must be abso­ lute quiet I am going to probe for the bullet and see what course it has taken. Please telephone at once for these two men. They are my hospi­ tal aides. As soon as they arrive I will operate.” As quickly as we had laid the sense­ less girl on Louise’s bed, I telephoned for Doctor Wilcox's assistants, and was fortunate in being able to reach both immediately. Louise and the maids meanwhile were kept busy by the doctor preparing for the operatlbn, so it fell to my .lot to break tbe news to General Farrlsh when he arrived. Louise had merely told him over the telephone that Katharine had met with an accident, so he entered the bouse almost wholly unprepared for the shock my news gave him. I had before seen strong men in grief, but never bad I witnessed such a wave of heartrending agony as swept over the general. He came into his home erect, military, slightly per­ turbed, but still in manner and bear­ ing the vigorous old soldier, fully master of his emotions. My ---J“ words that told him as gently tns was _possible what had happened1 seemed Seemed to sap all his vitality. His face became ashen pale, bis lips quivered, great tears coursed down his cheeks, his shoulders bent under tbe weight of his grief and he tottered as if about to fall. While he was fond and proud of both his daughters, the elder had al­ ways been his favorite. As is often the case with fathers who have no son, Katharine had been both son and daughter to him. Since her mother's death some years ago she had been practically bead of the household. It was on her that he relied tor every­ thing, and it was with ber tbat he discussed all his business affairs. Such association -between them naturally had strengthened the bonds Into far more than the ordinary father-anddaughter affection. "My poor little girl—Katharine—my little Katharine," he moaned in tones of agony that wrung my heart for him. His first thought was to go to her, but the doctor forbade his presence in the room. I persuaded him to go to bls own apartments, leaving him in the hands of his valet and promising to keep him informed as to Katha­ rine’s condition. , Deeply as I felt for him. It was of Louise 1 thought most I wanted to be with her constantly, to give her the succor of my presence. As soon as Doctor Wilcox’s assistants arrived, bringing with them a nurse, Louise and I were both banished from the room. Gently I drew ber into a little sitting-room, where, with the ‘ door ajar, we waited to see if our aid might be needed. Tearless sorrow now weighed heavily on her. “Tell me everything,” I said, with my arm about ber. "Why did she do nr •1‘don’t know," she cried out "I can't understand it at all! There is some mystery, ■’ome terrible mystery that I cannot faiAom.” “When did you b's your sister last?” "We had lunche« u together. She was sweet and kind, as she always was, but I could see that something was worrying ber. We were to have gone shopping together this afternoon but she told me tbat she bad an er­ rand that would make it Impossible for her to go with me. I had re­ ceived your note, so I told her that it would suit me much better to put the shopping off until tomorrow. Right after luncheon she went out—where, I do not know. She did not use the car or call a taxi. All I know is that she was gone about two hours. When she came in I was arranging the flowers In the dining-room. I beard her enter and came out into the halt She walked right past me without a word and wont up-stairs to her own room. I ran up after ber, thinking she might be ill, but just as I got to the door I heard her turn the key. I understood that she wished to be alone. About half an hour later I heard a sound like a shot and rushed np-stalrs, calling to the servants. We found tbe door still locked and we could hear ber groan­ ing. I had the butler burst open the door and there we found h®r, just as death, with her own little revolver clutched in her hand." "What do you suppose made ber change ber mind about going shopping with you?" I asked. "Did she receive any letters or telegrams today?” Louise thought for a moment be­ fore answering- her slender fonn still shaken with silent sobbing. Gently I her head was-pillowed on my shoulder. I doubt that if in her distress she no­ ticed my action, save in the scuse of ■•omfort that it brought ber. How ter­ rible it is to see tbe woman that you love suffer so much and to feel power­ less to do anything to help her! “No." said Louise, “I am positive Katharine received no letter or tele­ gram today- except an invitation or two that we read’at breakfast. We were together practically all the time until after luncheon.” "Perhaps some one telephoned to her,"’I suggested. Louise did not recall any message. We summoned her sister's maid, who was crouching outside the door like a faithful animal, and put tbe question to her. She was in such a hysterical state that it was difficult to make her understand what'we wanted, but final­ ly she remembered . that there had been a C'lepbone call just before twelve. . "Who wanted her?" asked Louise and I together. Tbe girl -ehook her head as. If be­ wildered. "Think, think," I commanded. "What was tbe name? Who was it? If you “Was It Mr. Crandall?" Asked Louise. wh®et answered the telephone, whoever It I WQS must have given his name." Stiinlitlv she (ho shook shrink her h*r hgad hr«.ul again. arr Stupidly "Was it Mr. Crandall?" asked Lou­ ise. Light came into Hilda’s face at once. “Now I remember," she exclaimed. ••Dot was him. It was Mr. Crandall." The name meant nothing ta me and I turned to Louise for explanation. Though there were many callers at the Farrlsh home, 1 never bad met a Mr. Crandall, nor had I even heard tbe name mentioned. "It must have been Hugh Crandall," said Louise. "I was afraid that it was »»■ Her remark puzzled me. The only Hug& Crandall 1 knew anything about was a prosperous young broker whom I never had met personally, though 1 had seen his name occasionally in con­ nection with exchange and club affairs. "Do you mean Hugh Crandall, the broker?" I asked. Louise nodded, and leaning against my shoulder, told me ot a chapter of the family history with which I was wholly unfamiliar. This man, it seemed, had met her sister two years before cn a steamer on which they were returning from Europe. After that he had been a frequent visitor at the Farrlsh home. Katharine was very food of him, and he had been in high favor both with tbe general and Loulee. Though no formal announcement of an engagement had been made, Crandall was looked on by every one as Miss Farrish's most favored suitor. About three months ago, just prior to the time when I first met Louise, his visits to the bouse had suddenly ceased. *T» sure," Louise explained, "that Katharine cared for him very much. She and father had a bitter quarrel about him, though why, I never could understand, for father had always seemed to like him. There was some­ thing strange about the way his visits ended. Father came home one day at noon looking worried. He called Kath­ arine into the library and shut the door. I coulu hear Katharine pleading with him and once or twice I heard both their voices raised as if in anger. When my sister came out her eyes were red as if she had been weeping. She went at once to her room and did not come down to dinner. When Mr. Crandall called that night she camd down to see him, but he stayed only about ten minutes. He demanded an interview with father, and father re­ fused to see trim. He left the house in heat ano. never has been here since. For several days Katharine seemed much depressed but she volunteered no confidences and I hesitated to ask her any questions. She seemed after a while wholly to have recovered her spirits, and I was convinced that she had made up ber mind to let Mr. Cran­ dall go out of ber life.** “What effect did this have on the re­ lations between your father and sis­ ter?" I asked, seeking in vain for a mo­ tive that would have caused Katharine to attempt her life. "None whatever that I could see. Through it all, except for that one aft­ ernoon, Katharine’s attitude toward fa­ ther has been most lovable. If any­ thing, it seemed to me that she was tenderer toward him afterward than before." “Do yon suppose she has been meet­ ing Crandall surreptitiously?" Louise quickly and indignantly drew herself away from me. “You don’t know Katharine as I do," she said reprovingly, "or you never would have said that She is the soul would hare done » op-nlr ~ “But be Ulepton«l ber lode,.- 1 pw slated. "That’s so," admitted Louise. "And fore yesterday, too. Some one celled her. and she went out just as she did today. Generally we tell each other where we are going, and 1 thought it peculiar at the time that she said noth­ ing to me.” In deep perplexity we both saL si­ lently pondering the mystery of Katha­ rine’s action. What could have mad® her do it? Was it, I wondered, because her father bad learned something dis­ creditable about her suitor and had forbidden him the house? Had Cran­ dall been trying to persuade her to continue to see him despite her fa­ ther's wishes? Was the conflict in her1 heart between love and duty too much for her? Louise turned to me and laid her hand gently on my arm. "Harding," she said, "there is some deep mystery behind all this that has been creeping Ilka a black shadow across the lives of both Katharine and my father. In some way Hugh Cran­ dall is concerned tn it I know it I feel K It is something more than mere­ ly the refusal of my father to .permit her to marry CrandalL I have watched them both and I know. I have see a this mysterious specter hovering over my father, gradually crushing the very soul out of him. I have seen Kath­ arine's life, too, blighted by its con­ stant presence. Whether -Katharine lives or whether she dies, I must find out what it is. I must, before it kills my father, too. You’ll help me, won’t you?" There have Been strange wooing) and strange betrothals in love's his­ tory, but never before has any man been brought to a fuller realization of the depth of a woman’s affection for him or her confidence and trus^. in him than 1 was at this moment when Lou­ ise put this question to me My arms went about her and my Ups met hers in one long kiss that was a pledge—a pledge that henceforth my life, my heart, my mind, my powers, my every­ thing were hers. All my abilities would be devoted to clearing this mystery that was stealing the joy from her years, when they should be the pleas­ antest But this was no time for love dalliance. The mystery must be solved. Suicides generally left letters. Perhaps— Hand In 'Land, Louise and I went into Katharine’s apartments, where tho room's disorder still told of the tragedy so recently enacted there. In one corner stood a little open desk. Its contents bore evidence ot a recent careful sorting that hinted very plain­ ly of premeditation, but there was no note or letter there. I looked next on the mantelpiece, hoping to find among the photographs and cotillion favors that Uttered it some clue which might solve the mystery, but there was noth­ ing there, either. My eye fell to the grate below, where a Are burned cheerily. Here again was evidence of premeditation in the ashes of burned letters and the charred corner of a photograph. A blackened bit of paper that had fallen through the grate before it burned caught my glance and I stooped to pick it up. It was just a scrap of yel­ low, torn from a folded lerter, with its edges burned to fragileness. Careful­ ly Louise and I unfolded it, for it seemed the only thing in all tbe room that might yield some explanation. As we pored over the meaningless frag­ ments of sentences, an exclamation of horror cam? from the doorway. Look­ ing up we saw the tall form of General Farrlsh tottering on tbe silL Clad in a dressing-jacket, his white hair in wild disorder, be pointed with accusing finger at the yellow scrap of paper in my hand. Never in mortal in his. His eyes, dilated, seemed bulg­ ing from their eockeLi. His counte­ nance was white as chalk. His jaw had dropped in the paralysis of terror. From his throat came horrible mumb­ lings, as be tried to speak and could not Louise and I sprang to his side, but with almoaf maniacal strength he shook us off and, with finger still pointing to the yellow scrap I had let fall to tbe floor, be managed to gasp: "That yellow letter. Where did—” Before he could finish tbe sentence he fell stricken to the floor, his voice choking, his eyes glaring, paralysed by some hidden terror—we knew not (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The Misses Stella Graves and Lil­ lian Mead entertained the Misses Bertha Huwe, Lethe Coolbaugh, Ruth Heath and Gertrude Hoffman at an informal party at their rooms at 425 Hornbeck Court, Kalamazoo, Friday evening, July 11. Ice cream and wafers were served. Don Perkins, who has been work­ ing at Sprague's barber shop, was compelled to return to his home near Coats Grove Sunday, by illness, and it is feared that he will have to un­ dergo an operation to overcome the effects of an injury received while jumping, while in school last year. Robert Cook, elder son of M. L. Cook of the Hastings Banner, was married on the Sth Inst, to Miss Florence E. Harper of Hastings. Both young people are well and fav­ orably known, and have many friends in Nashville who extend con­ gratulations and good wishes. Before giving your order or buy­ ing a range of any kind from a pedllng wagon, go to your home mer­ chant and let them show you what they can do for you on a steel, cast iron or malleable range, and save you from $10 to $25 over their price. If you don’t believe it, try it. C. L. Glasgow., Mr. and Mrs. George*Huffman were at Ann Arbor Sunday visiting the latter's brother, Floyd Oversmith, who went there some time ago for an operation for appendicitis. Floyd was getting along nicely and was about ready to leave the hospital when taken suddenly worse and was confined to his bed for about a week, but he is again rapidly improving and his many friends hope to see him home soon. The Kalamazoo Grand Circuit Race Meeting has attracted 327 horses to their meeting. This being the larg­ est list of entries ever had by any as­ sociation in the state and the only ex­ planation that can be made is that the horseman know the Kalam­ azoo track Is the fastest Itrack in the northern country and they go there to make the fast ords on their horses. No one make a mistake in attending this meeting. The home coming committee and __ the business men of Eaton Rapids have secured Lincoln Beachey, the world famous aviator, to make two flights in that town on Wednesday, July 24, as the headline attraction for the citizens’ day and home com­ ing celebration on that date. Every­ thing In the way of outdoor attrac­ tions will be free, and Ehton Rapids Invites everybody to come and see the bird man navigate the air in his aeroplane. About thirty of the friends of Mrs. A. C. Siebert gave her a genuine surprise at her home Tuesday eve­ ning, and spent a very Jolly evening at "500", Mrs. Ray McMillen win­ ning the honors and the impromptu hostess the booby prize. She was compensated, however, by being pre­ sented with a handsome band-paint­ ed plate by her guests. Tbe party adjourned at an early hour Wednes­ day morning, after partaking of de­ licious refreshments. Now is the time to paint, and Mas­ ury’s paints are the best to use. If you will stop to figure that fully half of the expense of painting is in the labor, you will see how foolish it is to use a cheap paint, which costs really more to apply than good paint, and will not last half as long, and will likely render your building unfit to use good paints on afterward. Buy good paints, for they are much cheap­ er in the end, and you know as well as we do that, Masury’s are the best of tbe good ones. Pratt. Last Friday was the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Brooks ot this village. Mr. Brooks came to Castleton township in 1860, and located on the farm near Castle­ ton center now owned by Mrs. N. F. Sheldon. On July 12, 1862, he was married to Miss Mary Baughman, and they have made their home during all the fifty years of* their married life, in this community. In the spring of 1874 they moved to Nashville, where they have since made their home. In the fall of 1874, Mr. Brooks bought tbe interest of An­ drew J; Hardy in tbe elevator nowowned by Townsend Bros, and in partnership with Calvlrr A. Ains­ worth conducted that business for a number of years, under the firm name of Ainsworth & Brooks. Later he retired from the elevator business, and in partnership with C. W. Smith built and established the Nashville creamery, which they conducted suc­ cessfully for a number of years. Mr. Brooks has of late years retired from active business, but owns two stores and twelve residences in the village, which he rents, and looking after all of this property keeps him busy enough so he don’t get rusty. Their many friends will wish for this ven­ erable couple many more anniversa­ ries of their wedding day.

Beneway pitched a steady, consis­ tent game throughout, and was ably supported by Deller, who caught a fine game. Hlar was the fielding star of the game, getting five put-outs in center field, including an unassisted dou­ ble play, getting Habersaat's hot lin­ er in the third inning, which looked good for a two-bagger, and carrying the ball to second himself before Hul­ ett could get back. Hulett carried off the batting hon­ ors. getting four hits out of five times at bat. including two two-baggers. Two of his hits were made In the eighth inning. • Vermontville’s pitching staff might be designated as Montgomery Ward Crowley, usually a reliable batter, struck out the first three times up. but finally connected for a single. Take the team Nashville had Tues­ day and let them work together for a few games and they would be fast enough company for most of the teams In this section. Mitchell redeemed himself for his poor work at Vermontville, and looks like a comer, with practice. He wait­ ed out two bases on balls and got a neat single. Hulett on second and Habersaat on first in the eighth Inning pulled off as pretty a double steal as has been seen on tbe home ground In years. Both were away ahead of the pitch, and there was no chance to pick either of them. Both scored a moment later on Deller's clean single, and that settled the old game for keeps. M. H. DeFoe, who Is the publicity manager of Amos S. Musselman's campaign for the Republican nomina­ tion for governor, was in town Sat­ urday afternoon, accompanied by Borden Moyer, formerly county clerk of Eaton county. DeFoe was distrib­ uting Musselman campaign cards, but the real reason for their visit was that both gentlemen wanted to see what a busy town looked like on Sat­ urday afternoon.

Washington, July 23.—Nathan B. Scott, former senator from West Vir­ ginia, before tbe senate subcommittee Investigating election expenses, dis­ cussed the national campaign of 1904 when he was a member of the Repub­ lican executive committee In charge of the speakers’ bureau. During bls testimony he announced he was a Quaker. The largest contributions of which he professed knowledge was that made by himself, >30,000 to >40,000. and one by George W. Perkins of >15,000. Both were made to the West Virginia state campaign fund. He also mentioned one from John J. McCook of Ohio amounting to 11,000. "When was the Perkins contribu­ tion made?" he was asked. "About the middle of October. 1004." “What campaign was pending in West Virginia r "The electoral ticket and the state and congressional tickets.” Tells of Perkins Gift. "Did the Perkins contribution past through the.national committee?" "No, sir. Mr. Perkins asked about the situation In West Virginia I told him we had a very hard fighl on our governor and It was the belief that we could elect William M. N Dawson. Perkins said as a friend ol President Roosevelt, he would be pleased to see the state go Republicar and he made the contribution." "Do you recall any other contribu tlonsT’ "I recall only a number of letter* which I received which had somt small checks in them—some to the amount of >1,000 and they were turn ed over to Mr. Bliss.’’ Mr. Scott declared he knew of nt contributions from any tariff or manu facturers’ association political league and he never heard of any from Mor gan or Havemeyer. "No one associated with manufac । turlng interests, the steel or bee , trusts aided the Republicans that year and repeated the statement made bj other witnesses th»t Cortelyou an< | Bliss had declared they would receive ' no such contributions. He was askef concerning the American Protects league which furnished campaign liter ature to tbe committee and said th* , league was paid for this and did no I contribute directly or Indirectly. I Perkins Gift Was Personal. Senator Paynter asked him whethe' any of the Harvester people contrib uted and he answered In the negative Senator Clapp then asked him abou Perkins. | "Well, I understand Perkins’ contrib utlon was a personal matter becaust of professional relations between hin and Roosevelt. We carried the stab 32,000 for Roosevelt and our govqrnoi was elected only by 7,000 or 8,000 That was the scare we had." Senator Jones questioned him fur ther concerning the Perkins contribu tion and strengthened the senalor’i declaration. "Was Perkins then a member o’ John P. Morgan & Co.?" asked Sena tor Paynter. "I am not sure; I do not know." re plied Scott. Tbe witness also declared he did not know wbethre Perkins Interceded with President Roosevelt in the Ten nessee Coal & Iron company deal The committeemen win bold anothei meeting Thursday.

In one of the rooms up-stairs lay Katharine, still unconscious, with a doctor and a nurse constantly at her side. The bul­ let bad been removed, and while it had penetrated the brain some slight distance, Doctor Wilcox said there was just a chance—the barest chance—that she might recover. It might, however, be hours, he explained, before she re­ gained consciousness—if she ever did. In another of the rooms lay General Farrlsh, more dead than alive.

However, 1 bad no difficulty In finding in the li­ brary the volume I sought—the club directory—and turning to his name I saw that he was a member at both the University and tbe Harvard. As I was a member of the Univer­ sity myself I had no difficulty in get­ ting Crandall’s address over the tele­ phone. Loath aa I was to leave Louise alone, I feltr that prompt action was demanded, ao I took my departure at once. "If I find Crandall I will bring him back with me so that you may hear all be baa to say. Whether or not I suc­ ceed, I will return within an hour. My friend, the post .office Inspector, lives somewhere out in Jersey, but I ■will see him the first thing in the morn­ ing." The grateful look Louiae gave me as I left Imbued me with a new and wholly delightful sense of responsi­ bility. Tbe ten minutes It took me to reach Crandall’s rooms were filled with that incoherent bliss that comes to every man who realizes for the first time what It means to have a wom­ an's confidence entirely his. Crandall lived in one of those re­ modeled mansions so common in that part of Fifth avenue from which the families have fled before tbe advance ot trade. The basement and first floor were given over to shops and the up­ per floors to bachelor apartments. I had no difficulty in- finding among the door-plates the name I sought, but re­ peated ringing brought no response. Determined not to leave until 1 had learned his whereabouts I gave the janitor’s bell a vigorous push. "Where can I find Mr. Crandall?” I asked as soon as he appeared. His manner made It evident that he considered my question an Imperti­ nence, but I had met Fifth avenue janitors before. "I am a lawyer," I persisted. "I must see Mr. Crandall tonight on an Important matter." "You won’t,” he replied, almost glee­ fully it seemed to me. ’’■Why not?” I demanded sharply. "What do you mean?" My manner was not without Its ef­ fect "He's gone away," tbe man ex­ plained a little more respectfully. "Gone!” I exclaimed. Here was a new mystery, or perhaps the explana­ tion of the first one. It may have been his departure that bad depressed Kath­ arine so. "Where has he gone? When did he go? How long will be be away?" I volleyed. Exasperatingly he delayed his reply. At last It seemed to occur to him that 1 was not making these Inquiries pure­ ly for his amusement Somewhat more politely than at first, be an­ swered: "Only an hour or two ago— about three o’clock it was—he came rushing down into my room with his keys in bls hand. ’Mike,* says be, 'I’m going away tonight I may be gone a week and I may be gone a month. I don’t know how long. Here are my keys and don’t let nobody Into my rooms while I'm away, on any pretext whatever.’ And wid that be was Into a taxicab and off before I could be saying my thanks for the bill he left in my hand." Crandall suddenly gone, Katharine dying by her own hand, General. Farrish stricken, all within two hours. I knew now there must be some con- "All About the Suicide," Ho Bowled. nectlon between these events. More than ever I waa anxious to find Cran­ dall. yet I felt that tbe Janitor bad told me all he knew. I could see in the young broker's departure guilty knowledge of the shadow descending on the Farrlsb home Surely his flight was confession. . There was nothing to be gained by further questioning of the janitor. From tbe manner of Crandall’s depar­ ture it would be useless to look for through tho taxicab, which he had probably called from tbe University Club near by, but that could wait until later. Just now I felt It my duty to hasten back to Loulao and tell ber of this development “*’ new " As I turned from tbe door a news­ boy With an armful of evening "extras" thrust one ar. me. Impatiently I waved him away. "All about the suicide," he bawled as-be darted off after another passer­ by. Quickly I pursued him and fairly snatched one of his papers from him. Had tbe reporters, after all, learned of the tragedy in the Farrlsh borne? Doc­ tor Wilcox and I bad discussed the matter of notifying the police and the coroner. We both felt that it would be wiser not to communicate with them, for such a courae would InevlU ably bring publicity. There was enough agony in the Par­ rish home without having this sorrow­ ful secret blazoneg to a curious world In three-inch type, without having a horde of reporters and camera men constantly surrounding the bouse. Be­ sides, If Katharine recovered, sooner or later she would be sure to learn what the papers had said. The-knowl­ edge that her foolish crime against herself had been thus sensationally proclaimed would be a blow from which the sensitive girl—hitherto jealously shielded—would never re­ cover. If she should not recover—Doc­ tor Wilcox and I were trusting to chance to find a way of explaining her death. The servants—all of them trustworthy and long In service—had been cautioned not to talk to anyone about tbe afternoon's events. The doctor's aides and nurses, of course, had been silent This is part of their business. How, then, had the papers obtained the news so quickly? I could think of but one possible way. More than likely some telephone girl who had heard Louise calling Doctor Wilcox had given it to the press. Even in the half-darkness of the middle of the block where I stood I could read the word "S-U-I-C-I-D-E" stretched across the page tn letters of red. I hastened to the corner where tbe dou­ ble globes shed down a brilliant light, anxious yet dreading to read what the paper said. At the first glance I breathed a sigh of relief. The article was not about Katharine Farrlsh. I had not thought of the possibility of there having been another suicide that day, but there It was: Mystery in Self-Murder ot Aged Law­ yer. Ordinarily I pay little attention to stories of crime. But the afternoon bad given me a new and bitter appre­ ciation of the meaning of suicide. Standing there under the light of a Fifth avenue corner I read tbe hastily written article word by word. Andrew Elser, tbe article explained, had lived for many years in a West Twenty-third street boarding-house. Little was known about him there ex­ cept that he was a lawyer. Several years ago he had given up his down­ town office. Most of his Income was derived from his fees as custodian of an orphan boy's estate. About four o’clock in the afternoon the landlady had heard a noise in his room like that of a body falling. On entering she had found him lifeless on the floor. She had called a policeman, who sent for aa ambulance. The ambulance doctor found that Mr. Elser had taken poison. It struck me as a peculiar coinci­ dence that two persons so far apart In the social scale as Katharine Farrlsh and Andr-w Elser should have chosen the same hour of tbe same day to seek death. Was there something In as­ trology after all? Had the stars de­ creed that both should dis? Had some conjunction of the planets, some evil aspect in the Zodiac driven both of them—the young heiress, in the bloom of joyous youth, and tbe aged lawyer, in his decrepit poverty—re­ lentlessly, helplessly, to self-destruc­ tion? Bo deep was the impression made on me by the coincidence that I took the paper with me and read the account of Elser’s suicide to Louise. Even as I read It aloud, this Inexplicable thought came to me with startling force: Suppose that these two suicides nt the same hour were more than b mere coincidence. Was it possible that the same shadow bad fallen on both these Ilves? Had the same mystery driven them to a death-pact? It neemed absurd. It was unlikely that Katharine Farrlsh had ever heard of Andrew Elser. If the family hgd known him Louise would have men­ tioned it And yet—why had these two persons sought to die on tbe same hour of the same day? Tbe question would not let me sleep that night all the other inspectors had failed to find the flaw in the registry service that permitted a red-striped sack with two hundred thousand dollars’ worth of registered mail to disappear, Da­ vis, putting his keen, analytical mind on the case, within a week had dis­ covered the flaw in the system and only a few days later had arrested the ex-convict who had profited by 1L With the natural Interest of an old friend I had followed bls career and was familiar with most of hla brilliant achievements. Even though tbe scrap which was puzzling me had no en­ velope and bore no postmark, so confi­ dent was I in fils far-reaching powers I would hardly have been amazed If he had told me all abbut it as soon as I showed it to him. Imagine, then, my disappointment at his absolute refusal to take dp the matter at alL “Don’t you see how Important It Is?" I cried. '’This little scrap is the key to the whole mystery." He was sitting with his back to the light—a trick most business men havethese days, so that they can see your face in full light, while you have dlffi-* culty in reading theirs—yet from his tone I felt that he. was inwardly amused at my anxiety. "I'm afraid you overrate my detect-, ive ability and my powers as a post-' office Inspector," he said. "While I am Inclined to agree with you that this bit of paper may have some bearing on! the case, there la nothing to show from1 what post-office it came, through whose hands it passed, or by whom it was re-; oeived.

Davis* refusal was a greater blow to! me than I cared to admit. Louise and' I in our final conference the night be-: fore had decided that there were three; steps that would take us far into the' light First. I was to try at once to find Hugh Crandall. I^was to ask him toexplain the rupture with Katharine, the attitude of General Farrlsh toward! him. his knowledge of the yellow let­ ter. and why he had called Katharine on the telephone the afternoon before.' Second, falling to find Crandall, ij •was to make some pretext for visiting; his rooms. His sudden departure and his cautioning the janitor to admit no; one had a suspicious look. While; neither Louise nor I had discuaaedl what might bo there to explain the; mystery, I was thinking that in all1 probability I would find a bundle of letters from Katharine, some of which might furnish a due. Third, I was to ask Inspector Davis to help me trace tbe yellow letter I had anticipated little difficulty In ascertaining Crandall's whereabouts. A broker of standing does not vanish overnight without informing his busi­ ness partners. Before coming to the inspector I had telephoned to Cran­ dall's office. Great was my amazement to learn from one of bls partners that they were as much puzzled as I over his sudden going away. They had merely received a telegram saying that he had been called out of town unexpectedly and did not know whenhe would return. The telegram had been sent from an office near his rooms the night before. There was no busl-i ness affair that would take him away,; so they supposed that It was some I urgent personal matter. While I chatted for a moment with* Davis over our boyhood days I was1 thinking what step I should take next.: Tbe problems of learning Crandall's J whereabouts and gaining access to hl»! rooms did not seem so simple as they had the night before. A clerk entered with a card for Davis, and I rose to RO. “Don’t go yet," he gaid. "It’s only a man from police headquarters. His errand will probably take only a min­ ute." As I resumed my scat Detective Dowd was ushered Into the room. He was the typical police sleuth, thick oC head and foot, ready to suspect the suspicious and to see the obvious. In appearance. In speech, in manner of thought, he and the inspector were al­ most exact opposites. One was a griz­ zled, blear-eyed man of fifty whom even the clumsiest criminal could not have mistaken for anything but what he was; the other, young-looking for even his thirty years, might have been readily mistaken for a college tutor or an alert reporter. It amused me to see with what deference the man from headquarters approached him. CHAPTER III. "Beg your pardon tor disturbing you. Inspector, ” be said, nervously twist­ The Second Clue.

There bad been no quarrel. Three times she had seen him with Rose Greene. Sarah Still talked volubly through the fitting, and Emmie stood while the summery, gauzy, pale-blue thing she had chosen because Elmer liked her in blue, was pinned In and let out to suit the slim lines of her pretty figure. Her small bead, heavy with fair hair, was held high and her blue eyes were indifferent. She was pale and wilted looking. Elmer was not mentioned, which relieved her, but that showed her that the village folk thought her sensitive on the subject. Sbo looked about her, determined to seem cheerful.

"Isn't It rather short?" she asked steadily about her own dress. "And I’d like the neck a little closer." She began chattering about clothes and kept It up until she was again dressed and safely out of that house. Tbe sun was still scorching, but Emmie could not go home. Alice Robbins, Rose's best friend, called to her from her porch to come in and visit, but she could not bear to be watched by any one. They might mention Elmer, and all the world knew she and Elmer, while not ac­ tually engaged, had been Inseparable for a year past. Indeed, she. had but a month before, for his sake, refused to marry Harry Stevens, who came out from the city for. a vacation and bung persistently about her until she sent him away. About then the cool­ ness between her and Elmer had be­ gun. Now, too wretched for words, she left tbe little village street and turned up the country road leading not to her home, but away from it to the lake. Perhaps the sight ot water would help her; perhaps she could fight It out with herself and get rid of this misery. Neither pride nor anger seemed to help her hurt She simply cared, and knew she cared, and he must know that she cared. And he was'to marry Rose. wB>m he used not to like because she was a bit forward and boy-llke In manner! Emmie walked on and Into the bit of wood edging the small lakelet a blue patch of mirror for a blue sky, and sitting down on the grass threw off her hat and tried to think things out. She would have to do something to herself before she could face even her mother. An hour passed and she hardly noticed a sudden darkening of the sky until It grew almost black. Then she jumped to her feet and started to­ ward the road, knowing that she could not reach her farm hdtae. but hoping to get to the vflloge before the storm. Thunder began to roll before she hud gone a dozen steps, and her old child's terror of a tempest arosA Trees began fo bend to the swift wind, the lake was gray, driven Into a wrinkle of little waves.

She picked up the skirt of her white dress ami began to run, for­ getful that shu had left her hat in the wood. As she ran the merciful tears came, relieving the pressure of her heavy heart, running down her cheeks unhindered. The wild dis­ order and storm, frightened as she was, seemed to clear her mind as the beat and .brightness had befogged It Breathless, she stopped running and took a steadier gait By now the rain was heavy, and she was already so- wet that she could be no wetter, and a half mile away she saw, gray and Indistinct, the nearest bouse. Splashing along, the tears and rain on her face, she did not bear the sound of hoofs behind her until a shout sent her in alarm out of the road, and almost Into the ditch. A man in yellow slickers, driving an open cart, drew In his horse, tho animal Impatient and snorting. "Didn’t cee you! Nearly ran over you," he said. "Why—Emmie!"

Come here this min­ ute—I’ll take you In, cMld! I can’t get down, this beast Is so unruly.” She held back a moment and then came obediently and let him take her In. He spread a rubber blanket over, and about her, and the horse dashed off. "Did the storm frighten you?" His voice had the old tenderness, and for a moment his strong, tanned face turned toward her. "Have you been —crying? Was it the storm?" She could not speak, but began crying again, unable to reBist the dear familiar sense of his protection. He reined In the horse and went on in a stern, half-choked voice: "I wasn’t able to find a thing against Harry Stevens, and I tried to, too!

Tuesday's contest at Riverside park endud in another defeat for Nashville, the visitors winning out by a score of 6 to 2. The game had all the symptoms of a shut out until the last half of the ninth, when the home team made a final rally and by means of three safe blngles shoved two run­ ners across the plate. Beneway did not pitch his usual game, being rath­ er erratic and issuing several passes which counted largely In the scoring. Deller, who did the receiving, was handicapped by a crushed finger, the visitors pilfering bases almost at will. Bellevue took the lead in the first In­ ning, making two scores on two safe hits and two free passes to first. They canned the game in third with three more, due to an error in center field, two passes and one lone hit. An er­ ror at short and one hit netted them more in the sixth. Outside of the two bad innings in the fore part of the game it was a good exhibition, in­ teresting enough for anyone. The following is the box score.

The Deaconess Home is one of the institutions of the M. E. church. In this home there is a matron who ov­ ersees the home and aids in training young women for mission work. These young women aside from taking a course In Bible study do pratical work in the city. They go among the poor, the sick and the sorrowing. They visit the hospitals and prisons, and everywhere where human aid Is needed. They aid the poor with food, clothing and fuel, or in labor with their own hands. A Deaconess is a frequent guest at the bedside of sick one*—not only to read and en­ tertain. but she often takes a nurse> place. The Michigan conference has a Deaconess Home at Grand Rapids. This home is mainly supported by its friends. They are glad to receive gifts of fruit, jellies, clothing, etc., tn order that the work can be carried on. The Home Missionary society of Nashville has just received a bar­ rel of empty cans, bottles and jelly glasses, to be filled for the home, and they will be grateful to any of the housewives of Nashville if they will aid In the filling. - If you feel you can spate a can of fruit, a bottle of grape juice or a glass of jelly you will never regret it. Those who de­ size to help can get empty cans at Mrs. Fred Nelson's. The barrel will not Le returned until after the fall fruit Is put up. ’ Mrs. Fred Wotring gave a party Monday in honor of her llftle daugh­ ter Mildred’s birthday. Several of her little friends were present. Re­ freshments were served «nd the little folks had a jolly good time. LOCAL NEWS. Lacey Sports Day August 10. "Crispo" crackers. McDerby’s.

C. Glasner has discovered a more material matter than compress­ ed air, which might be used to inflate automobile tires in case' of emergen­ cy, but which he refuses to recom­ mend. Last Saturday Henry wanted to make a trip to Battle Creek, and one of his tires was in very bad shape. Always ready in such cases, he pro­ cured some rags, paper, etc., and pro­ ceeded to stuff the blooming thing. It worked very satisfactorily until they were nearly to Battle Creek. The first hint of trouble was a pun­ gent odor which seemed to fill the air, but one of the party thoughtfully at­ tributed it to the breakfast food fac­ tories in the city. Soon smoke was seen issuing from the stuffed tire, the oily rags haring caught fire eith­ er through friction or spontaneous combustion. Henry made a record run to the nearest farm house, and a bucket brigade soon had the car out of danger. �LOCAL NEWS. Max Nelson of Charlotte was In the village Tuesday.

Wom­ an is not quite *o rich, for scientist* have proven that the normal man baa five mil­ lion—the woman only four and a half million to a cubic millimetre of bjood. A decrease in number of red blood corpuscles and a person “ looks pale ”—in feet, is anaemic, the blood docs not let the right food and probably the stomach ia disordered. Dr. R. V. Pierce found year* ago that a flyceric extract of golden seal and Oregon grape root*, queen'* root and bloodroot with black cherrybark, would help the assimilation of the food in the stomach, correct liver ill* and in Nature’* own way increase the red blood corpuscle*. This medicine he called Dr Pierce’* Golden Medical Discovery. By assimi­ lating the food eaten the system ia nourished and the blood takes on a rich red color. Nervousness is only “ the cry of the starved nerve* for food," and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person looses those irritable feel­ ings, sleep* well at night and is refreshed in the morning. "George H. Myhan has decided to enter the race for representative from thia district on the ticket of the Na­ tional Progressive party. »Mr. My­ han has had this under consideration for some months, but began only yes­ terday to circulate hi* petition. "Mr. Myhan has lived in the fourth district nearly all his life, coming to South Haven with his parents forty­ eight years ago. During these year* he has been active in the develop­ ment of the resources of thia com­ munity. “Mr. Myhan has had a varied busi­ ness experience covering a period of over forty years. He was flrat en­ gaged tn tanuing with hia father un­ der the firm name of James Myhan, & Son. Later he was vice president and manager of the Myhan Leather Company, retiring ten years ago to enter the resort business. Mr. Myhan is the owner of the "Shamrock", one of the largest summer resorts here. He is a director of the S. E. Overton. Company and of the Avery Beach Pavilion Company. He was one of the original trustees of the City hos­ pital and is now vice president of the hospital association. Before the consolidation of the school districts, he was for sixteen years director of the North Side school. "In the years that Mr. Myhan has lived in South Haven, he has been a tireless worker for those things that were for the good of the community, and has given generously of his time and bls money to advance every pub­ lic movement. Of late years he has turned bls attention largely to agri­ culture, his apple orchard east of the city furnishing an excellent example of what can be done to reclaim-old trees. Mr. Myhan is a member of the East Casco Grange and is presi­ dent of the South Haven and Casco Pomological society. "After an affiliation of over thirty years with the Republican party, (eight years of which time he served as postmaster), he has withdrawn to cast his lot with, the newly-organized National Progressive Party. For many years Mr. Myhan has been a student of politics and of govern­ ment, and is thoroughly in sympathy with the policies of Colonel Roose^ velt and the other leaders of progressiveism in the nation-wide movement to overthrow the alliance between professional politics and organized money. Should Mr. Myhan win a seat in congress his courage, his years of experience, his excellent citizen­ ship, and agressive character, would make him a member to be recog­ nized.”—South Haven Daily Gazette.

Washington. July 29.—Tb* federal incorporation of all concerns engaged In interstate commerce whoa* capitalIzaUon or value exceeds >50,000,000, is the keynote recommendation of th* minority member* of the Stanley steel investigation committee. The report at the Republican member* of th* Investigating committee wa> made public her*. The full report 1* signed only by Representatives Gardner, and Danworth, The remaining Republican members. Representative Sterling and Young of Michigan file individual dis­ sents on the exact character of rem­ edial legislation needed. Messrs. Sterling and Young agree with their Republican colleague* that federal incorporation* is a remedy for present industrial *vlls, but they de­ cline to go *o far as to recommend th* federal regulation of price*, which Gardner and Danforth advocate in th* ■vent the situation cannot otherwise be met Salient Feature* of Report. The four Republican members agr** on the following salient findings of fact as developed by the long investi­ gation of the United Stat** Steel corporation; That J. P. Morgan & Co. received 162,500,000 for organising the corporatlon and that of the capitalisation of >1,400.000,000 nearly one-half was water. That the average annual earning* of the steel corporation have been from 11 to 12 per cent of its assets and the corporation control* more than one-half of the crude and fin­ ished steel business of the country. That the average wholesale price* of steel products has been lowered since the corporation was formed, but that the corporation and all independ­ ents have an understanding as to price. The system of interlocking director­ ates has insidious consequences and tends to "inside management” and the stifling of competition. Iron Ore Supply Situation Grave. That the situation as to the iron ore supply is grave and may become menacing and tArnt labor conditions tn certain departments of the steel In­ dustry are bad. As a result of this situation in the steel industry the minority members recommend th* federal incorporation of all concerns with capital exceeding >50,000,000 which desire to enter in­ terstate commerce. These corpora­ tions, so characterised, are to be known as United States corporation*. For corporations of smaller capital it la recommended that charter* shall be voluntary. PRESIDENT C. R.

TAR IN BIG SALE New York, July 80.—Police Lieuten- j ant Charles A. Becker was; indicted by j th* grand Jury, arrested, arraigned | and sent to the Tombs on the charge of having ordered and planned the | assassination of Gambler Herman Ro- • tenths], who was shot down by aslasslns in front of the New Metropole hotel 14 days ago. The indictment charges murder in the first degree and comes as a result of confessions made by "Jack” Rose, ’Bridgy” Webber and Harry Vallon. Becker After Rosenthal. Each witness swore separately and without Qualification that Becker bounded them tor weeks to “get Ro­ senthal.” Rose declared that be would have told the truth days ago, but that he did not trust Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty, who seemed to be having a great deal to do with the case at that time. It was even brought out that Becker expected Rose to bring about th* kill­ ing of Rosenthal many days before the crime was committed. When Rose failed to meet with expectations a conference was called between Web­ ber, Vallon, Rose and Becker at a Harlem resort, at which Becker said: “This man Rosenthal has lived too long. You fellows must get him. Rose has failed to pull the Job oft aa I expected." Turning to Webber, Becker Is quoted as exclaiming: "Now Webber, you meg have got to do away with Rosenthal. Since Rose has failed it Is up to you to glv* the sign, you have got the money.” Say Becker Collected Graft. The witnesses admitted that Becker had been collecting graft from gam­ blers for a long time. Rose said he had been the collector. Webber and Vallon bore out this statement by tell­ ing how much they had paid Rose each week for police protection. The total amount collected each month was admitted to be Urge. Rose, In confessing his guilt and the details of how the murder was planned, made a pitiful plea tor mercy. He said: "It was necessary for mo to obey the orders of Becker. It was the only way in which I could make a living. We (referring to the gamblers) con­ sidered him the biggest’'man in the police department. "Becker told me in the presence of otners at the last conference when the killing of Rosenthal was discussed that if we didn’t do away with this enemy he would place pistols on u* and send us up.” Is still on at CORTRIGHT’S and every customer Is a satis­ fied customer.

I glanced quickly at Daria I fully expected to see in his face something ot the same astonishment I had felt I was disappointed. With a casual glance at the envelope he turned to Dowd as If waiting for him to go on. “It’s evidence in tbe Elser case,” the detective went on, "turned in by the man on post who reported the suicide.

At some time In his life he may have had some unpleasant experience which was associated In his subconscious memory with a yellow document. Wrought up as he was by the news of bls daughter's attempt to kill herself, the brain cells called into action were those that had recorded other disturb­ ing experiences, perhaps a month ago, perhaps forty years ago. No impres­ sions in the brain records are ever lost The sight of the yellow paper probably recalled some other yellow paper. There was then no evidence whatever that it was this particular piece of paper that so agitated him.” “But you th'nk so now,” I suggested. “The situation has entirely changed. There was nothing to show that this piece of paper had ever come through tbe malt There was nothing to con­ nect It with suicide. Dowd comes in here with a similar piece of paper that plainly has been mailed. We now have not one footprint, but two—tbe beginning of a path. Once started on the path, we can solve the mystery." "Then you think there is some con­ nection between the two bits of pa­ "I know there Is,” said Davis. "These bits pf yellow paper are of the same quality and texture—to all ap­ pearances tbe same paper. Two pcrbodb tn whose possession they were, attempt suicide on the same day Tho same person, or at least the same type­ writer, wrote both the address on.the envelope and the contents of the let­ ter.

There are not many rural offices that will -fit in all par­ ticulars. In two days or sooner, 1 can tell you exactly from what office they were mailed.” “Letters—you think there were two?

Her sister and I were talking of the Elser suicide last night after we saw tbe evening papers. Louise surely would have known it if her slBter was acquainted with him.” "Perhaps," said Davis doubtfully. There isn’t a human being over ten that has not a secret that they keep from some one. It looks to me, though, bs if in all probability there were two distinct tatters. That Is what makes me suspect a plot It convinces me that tbe mails are being used for an Improper and more than likely a crim­ inal purpose. This brings tbe case or both cases property In my domain as a post-office inspector." “And I can count on your audstanoe, after all," I said joyfully. "When can you begin work?” "I have begun," bo ».ald tersely, pushing over for my inspection some­ thing he had hastily scrawled on a pad lying on bis desk. It was an order ad­ dressed to the superintendent of tbe railway malls, which read: “Have all railway clerks on New York and New Jersey routes report from what rural office within the last month they have received large quan­ tities of letters in yellow envelopes. If letters have been discontinued, whim? DAVIS.” ”1 ->rge quantities 1” I gasped. "Were there more than two?" "Of course," be snapped. In a way that showed me he did not wish to be questioned further. Then he reached for his hat and cost, and with an ab- tiMpower part of the circle was a frag­ ment of a tatter that looked as if It the elevator. "Where are you going?"

"Is Doctor Berner in?" he asked of tbe maid, and on being shown Into the physician’s office, introduced himself as “Inspector Davis” and began ques­ tioning the doctor about the Etaer sui­ cide. . Though the papers had rnado no mention of Doctor Berner, the state­ ment being that a policeman had called an ambulance from Bellevue Hospital, it now appeared that tbe landlady had summoned him as soon as the suicide was discovered. Elser K Mrs. Trask Waa tho Old-School Board­ ing-House Mistress. was dead, so he had withdrawn as soon as the policeman arrived. "Did you ever have Elsdr as a par tlent?” asked the inspector. The doctor reflected. “Only once—about two years ago. I gave him something for insomnia. He called here at the office and I wrote him a prescription. He was to return in a few days for farther treatment, but he did not do so. Another time—” The doctor, hesitated. "There was another time I had al­ most forgotten, a year or two before that He met me in the street one day and asked what my office hours were on Saturday. He explained that he was the guardian of a boy who was in a boardlng-schooL The child had some slight throat trouble and he wished mo to make an examination. On tbe following Saturday be brought the boy here, a bright Httle chop about "Do you know the boy’s name? What school did he attend?" Tho inspector fired this question rapidly, but it was quickly apparent that the doctor had nothing more to tell, so we left “What a wonderful man you are!” I exclaimed as the doctor's door closed behind us. "How did you learn that Doctor Berner had been called In after Elser killed himself?” “There is nothing wonderful about my knowledge." answered Davis with a laugh. “What is tbe first thing that people do when anything happens? They run for tbe nearest doctor. Doc­ tor Berner is the nearest doctor. Could anything be simpler?" The simplicity of his logic amazed me. It was like a conjurer’s trick aft­ er It has been explained, or like one of those puzzle pictures with hidden faces. You work hours trying to find them? and after you have found them you wonder bow you ever happened not to see them. We now arrived at Mrs. Trask's boarding-house—one of those dingy ex-residences that proclaimed Its ret­ rogression by a white slip of paper on the door frame. I had supposed that here, too, my friend would introduce himself as "Inspector Davis” on ac­ count of tbe prestige it would give him In searching the rooms, but to the slattern maid who came to the door wiping her hands he merely said: Tell your mistress a couple of gen­ tlemen are Inquiring about room and board.” Mrs. Trask was the old-school board­ ing-house mistress fast disappearing before the inroads of the family apart­ ment hotel. "Better days" was writ­ ten all over her, though somewhat ob­ scured by years In bcardlng-house grease. Eying us sharply through her spectacles, she inquired how much we were willing to pay, meanwhile debat­ ing with herself whether it was neces­ sary to ask for references. Davis’ "not more than twelve dol­ lars a week each" apparently con­ vinced her that reference* were un­ necessary, for she at once tad the way to what she described as the second floor front, tbe Aom in which Elser had killed himself only the day before.

Mrs. SevIson assisted Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Goodale and Mrs. Wallis presided in the dining room, where the table was adorned with an exquisite cen­ terpiece of marguerites and gypsopheila. The sideboard was banked with pansies and each guest was presented with a corsage bouquet of the dainty flowers by one of the graceful little serving maids who were Misses Mary Maynard. Dora Maynard, Mildred Hullinger, Valora Bullinger and Virginia Miller. Wel­ come and farewell, as Is the way of life, were blended In the greetings. Mrs. Hullinger winning all by her charming personality, while Mrs. Hutchison numbers loyal friends by the score, who regret her departure exceedlnglj, although all rejoice at Dr. Hutchinson's well earned ad­ vancement. Mrs. Hullinger is spend­ ing the summer here with her beauti­ ful little daughters, her husband being a member of the Laramie De­ velopment company, but it is prob­ able that the family will eventual­ ly decide to make their home In Laramie, so delighted are they with the splendid prospects and glorious climate of Wyoming. ■ The ladles In­ vited to participate in this particu­ larly interesting function numbered more than a hundred.

He Got a Chance Dlllmere ha* a tender heart and an Impressionable mind. Not only does he sorrow over troubles visible, but, being blessed with an Imagination, be suffers over those concealed from or­ dinary mortals. When it come* to reading, Dlllmere, because of his tem­ perament, should select something soothing and mild. It was a malig­ nant {ate that led him Into the snare of the book agent who was selling “The World'* Greatest Crimes" at re­ duced rates and in an attractive cloth binding. When Dlllmere reached home that night he found his wife waiting for bim. She was pointing to the opened bundle of books much as one of a re­ fined disposition might point at a viper or a dynamite bomb. "What on earth," she began at once, "do you mean by buying that stuff, James Dlllmere? Why, If I caught Jimmy with a volume of crimes in bis hand----- ” "You aren't going to.” said Dlllmere. "Thej* are not for Jimmy’s youthful .’ntelhgence. A mature mind can read without harm about de&s of vio­ lence---- ’’ “That book sjent must have been a -rood .’.talker,’* said Mrs. Dlllmere, :: 'mly. "Ycni’ll. htve to keep those •rock* on yor closet shelf or Johnny —and I don't see, anyhow, why on earth you ston’d want to read such things when there are so many nice books------" "I’m tired of nice books," said Dillmere recklezly. "I’ve had a surfeit of recipe* for tatting and prescription* for making a china cabinet out of a racking box. My mind need* stimu­ lating. Anyhow, It Is a matter of edu­ cation. I am ashamed to be ignorant of what hs* happened in the world." After dinner Dlllmere retired into the fastne** of an easy chair with hl* books and promptly was lost to hie family. “H'm!” coughed Mrs. Dlllmere at la»t In desperation. "I looked at new coats for Johnny today." Silence. "H’m!” began she again. “Grace telephoned that her uncle was dead. I wonder If he left anything? She’s always expected that he would." Silence. Mrs. Dlllmere looked at her husband. His eyes were popping out of bls head and he Breathed deeply. "James." she proceeded In a conversational voice, "the bank failed today. Your father murdered your mother. I fell down­ stairs and broke my neck!” "Um!" answered James vacantly. Mrs. Dlllmere rose and swept the book from his hands. "Why don't you listen to t^e?” sbe demanded. i"Whew!" breathed her husband. “They were going some in the middle ages! If you didn't like a fellow you ju*t put cold poison In his tea and if he wouldn't drink it you choked him till be did! Nobody seemed to mind wholesale slaughter If you had money enough to awe the populace! It must have been fierce!” That night Mrs. Dlllmere woke up to find her husband pacing the floor. "Somehow,” he *ald, "I can’t sleep. Are you sure the back basement win­ dow* are locked? I thought I heard some one on the flhsement stair* a little wMe ago, I don't see what Is to prevent a burglar from walking In at the open’ bedroom window* from the room. There! Did you hear that?” "It’s’that bodk you were reading!" declared Mr*. Dlllmere. "Go to bed!” Dlllmere persisted in reading the book*. Occasionally when the hor­ ror* grew too great for him to bear alone he related them to his wife ’* after Johnny had gone to bed. "I don’t see how they earned a liv­ ing In those days,” Dilhnere said one evening. "After every fellow got through his dally stunt of poisoning a few relatives, beheading a whole vil­ lage, robbing cathedrals and burning up castle* be naturally would not have much energy left- for the milder pur­ suits of life." Mrs. Dlllmere woke that night to find the lights turned on and Dlllmere perched on a chair endeavoring to climb the wall. "James!" she shrieked. '•Hush!'' said James Impatiently. "I'm escaping. If I get to the top of this wall and drop into the moat be­ low Caesar Borgia and bla minioos cannot find me to make me drink the poison! They are burning up the bodlea of the people whose heads they have chopped off, but rn have to hurry.” A little later, while he mopped the cold water from his person—for his wife’s alm at hla bead with the tum­ bler of water had not been good owing to her excitement—DlUmere demand­ ed: "What's the use of raising such a row? Wh-what did you try to drown me for?” • "Because I didn’t want you . to go through the roof In your pajamas." re­ plied his wife sternly.

Cheers Greet Announcement National Convention Which la Expected to Nominate Former Executive for President la in Order—Suffragettes Attend Meet and Will Be Big Fig­ ure During “Bull Moose" Sojourn. Convention Hall. Chicago, Aug. 6.— The National Progressive convention was called to order at 12:45 p. m., 45 minutes late. Political history now records the na­ tional progressive party. It was offi­ cially born in the Coliseum at noon. The delegate section on the main floor was filed before the gavel fell. The guest seats on the main floor were two-thirds taken and in the gallery sec­ tion fewer than half tbe seats were occupied. The capacity of the Colise­ um Is 12,000 and tbe police officers Id charge estimated that two-thlrds of that number were present just before the fall of the gavel. The Infant was ushered In amid wild scenes staged by rebels who look to Col. Roosevelt to .revolutionize the na­ tional political contest this year. The new third party was launched In the presence of a big audience of guest! and delegates representing practically all the states of the union. It is the result of the charge of Col. Roosevelt that President Taft was nominated by fraudulent methods In the Republican national convention in the same haE on June 22. United States Senator Joseph M Dixon of Montana, manager of tbe Roosevelt primary campaign, officiated at the birth. He wielded tbe gavel at the chairman of the provisional na­ tional committee of the progressive party. Tbe "bull moose’' Is to take Its place with the elephant and the donkey ai the emblem of the Roosevelt party, af it Is designated by tbe old line poll tlclans in the Democracy and tbe Re publican organizations. Beveridge Sounds Keynote. Albert J. Beveridge, former United States senator from Indiana, backed up Senator Dixon In bringing forth the official child. It fell to the lot ol the young leader from the Hoosier state to sound the "keynote” as the temporary chairman. Mr. Beveridge, who has been nominated for governor on the third ticket In Indiana, was de­ nied a seat in the Republican conven­ tion. Beveridge Greeted With Cheers. Senator Dixon then announced that ex-8enator Albert J. Beveridge of In­ diana bad been selected as temporary chairman of the convention. The name of the Hoosier orator brought a burst of cheers from the delegates and visitors. The statement by Dixon that Beveridge had been nominated for Governor of Indiana .caused another burst of cheers. Governor Johnson of California, Governor Vesey of South Dakota. Governor Carey of Wyoming and Funk of Illinois escorted Bev­ eridge to the platform. Beveridge was greeted with a thunder of applause as be ap;eared. “Ex-Senator Beveridge needs no In­ troduction,’* said Mr. Dixon. "For 16 year* be has been In the front of the fight for the people and for the next four years he will be the governor of Indiana.” Mr. Beveridge then delivered his keynote speech. When Beveridge spoke of Invisible government of the bosses there was more applause. Counted On to Play Leading Role. Mr. Beveridge took a prominent part in tbe Republican organization and CoL Roosevelt la counting upon the Indianan to play a leading role tn the new party. The opening day of tbe convention was given over to Beveridge. Cot Roosevelt will take the convention spotlight today and address the dele­ gates and guests In the afternoon, a resolution invftfeg the sotamsl to apeak was to be adopted before adjournment Political History Repeated. Political history was repeated. The doings recalled the gold Democratic movement of IBM. when the bolters from the Democracy nominated Pal­ mer and Buckner on a third ticket at a national couventtos In Chicago. la that same year there was a bolt from the Republican forces. Silver Repub­ licans joined tbe Democracy and sup­ ported William Jennings Bryan on hla 16 to 1 platform. The Republican party did not suffer In that contest, as the substantial bolt came from the Democracy to the gold standard, and I Republican, waa Progressives leading the new move­ ment gq back to the birth of the Re­ publican party in 1856 to show history Is repeating Itself. In that year the Democracy won with James Buchanan when the Whig party waa defeated with the organisation of the Republic­ an party. Victory did not perch on the banners of the new Republican party until four years later, In 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected president by the Republicans. Do Not Expect to Win This Year. The history of the Republican party would delay victory of the progres­ sives for four yers more and those In the progressive camp who give their Innermost thoughts say they do not expect to win this year and bellleve Democracy will sweep the country. They say they are building for the fu­ ture. Platform Awaits Approval of T. R. The tentative draft of the National Progressive platform has been com­ pleted. It now awaits the approval of Colonel Roosevelt, and any sugges­ tions he has to make will be incor­ porated. Members of the platform committee, unofficially selected, but who will doubtless be on the regular committee, said that the platform would undoubtedly be regarded as ex­ tremely radical and would provoke a great deal of discussion throughout the country. It will demand that the light of publicity be thrown upon scales of wages and other labor mat­ ters; that all accidents and diseases arising from employment shall be re­ ported to the proper national and state officials. Many Suffragettes Attend. The triumph of the women came when their column reached the Coli­ seum. The crowds In Wabash avenue cheered until the women delegates left their automobiles and went to their seats in the convention. Many ol the marchers had seats in the gal­ leries. They followed the suffragette delegates Into the Coliseum militantly waving the yellow banners of suffrageism. INDIANA RACE GOVERNORSHIP Republican State Convention Have Big Field of Can­ didates. Will Indianapolis, Aug. 6.—A dozen names are under discussion for the head of the ticket to be nominated by the Indiana Republicans in the state convention here. Winfield T. Durbin of Anderson, who was governor from 1901 to 1905; Mayor Lew Shank of Indianapolis, who came Into national prominence through his crusade to reduce the high cost of living; Addison C. Har­ ris of Indianapolis, former United States minister to Austria-Hungary; Col: George R. Lockwood, editor of the Marion Chronicle; Judge David W. Henry of Terre Haute, President W. W. Parsons of the Indiana Normal School, Charles A. Carlisle, a promi­ nent business man of South Bend; James W. Ertoon, president of Vin­ cennes university; Walter Olds of Fort Wayne and L. C. Embree of Princeton are among those who are under consideration for the nomina­ tion for governor. The M odern f armer. Well, he has things pretty easy as compared with the far­ mer of one and two generations ago. He takes care of his crops with less than half the labor, he saves them in better shape, he gets a whole lot better prices and he makes a whole lot more clean money. And he ought to, for he’s the backbone of the community and “he feeds us all.” But of late years he has a comfortable home, has modem conveniences, has either a fine family driving turnout or an automobile, and is not only a “regular feller,” but he has a comfortable bank account, which can’t be said of some of the rest of us. Some of them are ready to sell their farms, move to town and retire from hard work, while some of the fellows who have been slaving in town for years without getting ahead a dollar, are ready to buy a piece of land and get at it to make something for themselves. Its our business to get these two men together—to find a buyer for the man who wants to sell—to find a farm to suit the man who wants to buy. No matter which man you are, it will pay you to come and see us and talk the matter over. That won’t cost you a cent and if we do business for you it won’t cost you much.

An account was given in one of the county papers last week of two horses being found in the eastern part of the county last Wednesday, which evidently had been taken by horse thieves. One was a pony owned by Ross Burdick of Barry and it was not known at the time who was the owner of the other horse. On Friday, Dr. G. C. Keller, who has been pasturing his horse In a vacant lot about a half mile north of Lacey for some time past, found the animal missing. As he had not been to the pasture for -several days, he had no idea as to how long the hone had been gone, but after a thorough search, he notified the county officials and found that by describing his hone that tbe one they had found was the same one. It had been tak­ en by Deputy She: iff Furniss to his farm just west of Nashville and on Saturday John McIntyre and Chas. Hawthorn started to bring it home for the doctor. Soon after leaving town they discovered that tbe ani­ mal was sick and had only reached Curtis Pennock’s farm when they were compelled to stop. Theyhurriedly telephoned for the doctor, but the horse died within a few minutes after stopping. . As the horse had been found in the wheat lot, it is the supposition that the ani­ mal had eaten too much wheat, which was the cause of Its death. • SOUTHWEST SVXF1ELD.

The ordinary Malay house is built un posts from five to seven feet high; but one which I came across was perched high up In a tree. It was the home of a man, bls wife and fam­ ily, and they Informed me that it was placed in this unusual situation so as to be out of the way of tbe numerous tigers which then infested the neigh­ borhood. As tigers have been known to jump 18 feet in vertical height somewhere above 20 feet is considered to be the limit of safety. The Malayan house Is a frail and flimsy structure of sticks tied together with rattan thatched with palm leaves and walled with plaited bamboo, or, as in this case, with the bark of a tree. It is therefore an easy matter for a tiger with its great strength to break into a house and attack the inhabit­ ants. Many instances of this have been recorded In Malaya. In one well known case a whole family were kill­ ed except one man, who climbed up into tbe roof, and thus escaping th® notice of tbe tiger, was a horrified ob­ server of the cruel mauling and ulti­ mate slaughter and devouring of his relatives.—Shrand. German Musicians Poorly Paid. The Germans like music, but they do not want to pay for IL What they gladly pay for Is food and drink, with free music on the side. When a highclass musician plays at a variety show or In a night cafe, he is looked down on; yet these are the only places where an orchestral player can earn a decent living. Some startling figures have been printed in Der Turmer which shows that it ia practically impossible for a German orchestral musician to marry and bring up a family. For a family of four the minimum expenses, apart from food, are $250 a year. The income of an orchestral player is $330 a year; which leaves leas than 25 cents a day for food. Americans pay mu­ sicians ten times as much as the Ger­ mans do; but we, to be sure, are mere barbarians in the eyes of the Germans. —Boston Transcript. Sydney Smith on Music.

As Louise called one of tbe serv­ ants to escort him upstairs I was re­ joicing at the opportunity to be alone with her.

As soon as he had left us, with tbe memories of tbe evening be­ fore glowing in my mind, I turned to embrace her. "Don’t, please don’t!” she said cold- uoulse.

(Copyright. 1312. ,by A*aod»t«d Utor»ry Proaa.) "Don’t tell mother," Marcia said tensely, "but I’m not going back." Constance looked at her In amaxemcnt. "You’re not—going back,” she gasped. . "I’m tired of It all, and I’ve told— Phil." "How could you?” her sister de­ manded. "He loves you, Marcia." "Oh, I know It, but love Isn’t every­ thing, Connie. I thought so when I married Phil, and went up there in the lumber regions and tried to live his life. And you know I’ve tried to be happy, but I'm not used to that sort of thing. And as for baby—you know how I want her to have every­ thing that life can give ber, and she cannot up there." "But how could you teH Phil? What did he say?” "He—be didn't say much. He Just looked at me in a punled way." "Oh," Constance crlad, "how can you do such a thing, Marcia T" "Because,” Marcia panted, "because I know what life up there means. You don’t Of course, Phil is a law­ yer, but his clients are all the men who work- in the forests, and the women—why they are the wives of those men—and there isn’t anything to do. and I won’t go back—so don’t ask me, Connie—don’t ask me." For two months Marcia lived In a whirl. Her mother, joyous at having possession for a little while of her youngest girl, loaded her with gifts, and Marcia appeared at garden par­ ties and tennis events, and golf tour­ naments, robed exquisitely in rose color or in white. She dressed Baby Margaret like a doll and took her with her. To­ gether they were petted and praised. "And if I were up there with Phil,” Marcia said ‘o Connie. ”1 should have spent this summer listening to tbe frogs croak and tbe chickens sing.’’ "You would have shared Phil’s hopes and sorrows," said Connie. “Oh, Marcia, isn’t he lonely?" "He doesn’t say so," said Marcia, evasively. Two weeks later Phil came down to fetch his wife. "You are coming home with me, Marcia," be said. "Why?” she looked at him in sur­ prise. "I thought you knew I wasn’t coming any more?" "That Is what you said, and I thought I might let you have your way. But—I’m not going to let you take your life in your hands. I promised to love and protect you. My duty to my child places upon me the same obligation to love and pro­ tect her—I haven’t any right as a husband and father to let you stay here.” ’ That night Marcia talked it over with Connie. "Do you think I ought to go back?" "If a man loved me," said Connie, "as Phil loves you, I would go with him to the end of the world.” "That’s what I thought," said Mar­ cia, bitterly, “when I married Phil, but romance doesn’t survive long when you are up against the hard things of life." Philip Ames took with him an un­ willing wife. The trip on the train was a silent one. Only little Mar­ garet prattled of the return. "Are tbe pussies and tbe chickens expect­ ing me?" she asked ber father. "Yes, and the pine trees have lots of things to whisper In your ears. Don’t you know when tbe sun Is set­ ting how they whisper, whisper, and sing lullaby songs?" "Yes.” said little Margaret, "and that’s the time when you always tell mother how much you love her." Marcia, listening, felt her heart leap. That had been one of Phil’s little ceremonies in their temple of love. At sunset he would take her In bls arms and say, “Another day Is ours, dear heart.’’ When had he stopped? She re­ membered with a shock that It was she who bad rung the knell to ro­ mance! It was she who had been im­ patient of his caresses. It was she who had, one night. Interrupted- bls sunset litany to say, “Another day of toll and trouble—another day—of loneliness." After that he bad not kissed ber at sunset. After that he had withdrawn a little. After that he had worked harder and more doggedly. Suddenly the reason of his Incessant laboring dawned upon her. Did he think she wanted an easy life more than, she wanted romance, and no he had en­ deavored to give It to her? Thair horses were waiting forthem at ths station. They drove through the long aisle of the forest. The pussies were at the door to meet Margaret. The man drove away with the horses, the maid who had greeted them turned and went Into the house tn serve tbe evening meal. Philip looked at his wife. "Yow are home again, Marcia," be said, simply. "Will you try to believe ft bs for the beet, and not blame me too much?" Suddenly she raised ber face to hla. “Tbe sun la setting." she said, tremu­ lously, "kiss me, Phil, and forgive me. I didn’t know; I didn’t know." He took her In his arms and bent his face to hers, and she heard hla whisper of Cerce rapture. "Another day is ours—another day of love, dear heart." Clean Up Sale!

He count­ ed his friends by the hundreds, and he will be kindly remembered by all. He goes to his rest ripe in years and with the benediction of all who knew him. Men of his lovable disposition are by far too few. When one of them passes, the world Is poorer. The community has lost a man who was a man, and whose memory will be re-1 William H. Kocher was born in Pennsylvania, October 21. 1842, and came to Michigan In 1854 with his parents, locating at Park, St. Joseph county. After leaving school he learned the woolen mill business at Parkville, afterwards working at the same business at Constantine, where he stayed four years, at Jonesville, where he remained eight years, and ifter putting in two -years at South Bend, Indiana, came to Nashville with his brother, John F., and on June 28, 1874, opened a dry goods store in the same building with Capt. L. C. Boise, who conducted a grocery •tore, each firm having one-half of the building now occupied- by J. S. Wellman, on the east side of North Main street. After a year and a half at this location they moved to the location now occupied by W. H. Klelnhans. afterwards moving to the location where Kraft & Son are now located. Here they remained for 18 rears, but outgrew their quarters and build the splendid store they have since occupied. The old frame build­ ing they had occupied for so many rears was moved out and another new brick building was erected in its place, which with two fine new brick Mores completed last summer now romprise the Kocher block of four store buildings, a permanent record which will be a monument tor many rears to the deceased and his sor­ rowing brother who survives him. He also leaves to mourn his demise. two sisters, Sarah, who has always made her home with her brothers, and Mrs. H. H. Sawyer, of Edgewood, Illinois. The funeral was held from the fam­ ily residence at Reed and Middle streets Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. The services were conduct­ ed by Rev. C. F. Smith of the Evan­ gelical church, and the Interment was at Lakeview cemetery. The floral offerings were . exceptionally beautiful and profuse, and the ser­ vices were attended by a large con­ course of the friends of the deceased. As a mark of respect, all of the busi­ ness places ef the village were closed during the services. BARNES REUNION. The Barnes reunion was held Thursday, August 8, in Simon Schram’s grove two and one-half miles east of Nashville. There were eighty-five present.

After partaking of a bountiful dinner of good things too numerous to mention, the afternoon was spent in listening to a good pro­ gram of songs and recitations, and renewing old and forming new ac­ quaintances after, which all depart­ ed for their homes, realizing a good time long to be remembered. HOLDS IMPORTANT CONFERENCE This afternoon many of the Inter­ esting workers in the antl-tuberculosis movement In Michigan will con­ gregate in the office of Dr. Dixon. Secretary of the State Board of Health, to discuss plans and methods for their work. This is the first Con­ ference to be held In Lansing for this work. The last meeting was under the auspices of the Grand Rapids society. Among the subjects to be consider^ ed at this time the following are announced: “A More Adequate L6cal Campaign.” The Best Plans for a Successful Seal Sale”, and "Need­ ed Legislation.” The Conference will be conducted very Informally and promises to be very interesting and helpful. • Several hundred announcements have been sent to antituberculosis workers In this state, concerning the Conference, which Is being conduct­ ed under the auspices of the State Association for the prevention and relief of Tuberculosis. The presi­ dent of .the association, Dr. Collins H. Johnston of Grand Rapids, will pre­ side. The officers are expecting a good attendance. NASHVILLE MAN HONORED. Last week the Michigan State Pharmaceutical association, an or­ ganization which has existed for 31 years, and the Michigan Retail Druggists' association, a younger but larger association, held a joint meeting at Muskegon, which was a great gathering and a highly success­ ful one. At this meeting the two associations were formally merged into one, taking the name of the older organization. New officers were elected throughout, and Von W. Furniss, the enterprising druggist of this place, was elected secretary. This is a signal honor and one that Mr. Furniss highly appreciates. The organization Is now one of the larg­ est, If not the largest association of Its kind in the state, and the duties of the secretary are such as will take a considerable portion of* his time and attention. We are very certain that the association has made no mistake in its seletion of a secre­ tary, and predict that he will &ake so good a record that he will not be permitted to retire with one term .

It seems that no further argument should be needed to convince fruit-growers of the benefits of spraying their trees.

Woodland slipped over two runs, and that proved sufficient, as the best Nashville could do in the final half was to accumulate one.

In persuasive tones the good-look­ ing woman who had secured an inter­ view with the taxicab manager tried to convince him that tbe company owed her $2.02. "Something broke,” she said, “and I was held up for 45 minutes while the driver tinkered with the ma­ chine.” Her manner was so impressive that the manager was on the point of writ­ ing out a check for the money de­ manded, but before doing so he re­ marked: “It certainly was a case of over­ charging. It wasn’t your fault the cab broke down, and he should not have charged-you for the tlipe it took to make repairs." “O,” said she, “he didn’t. It isn’t overcharging I am complaining about. He made me late for a bargain sale that closed nt 11 o'clock, and when I .finally got there I had to pay >4 for a blouse that had sold up to 11 o’clock for |1.98. It is the difference I am fighting for.” Then the manager closed his check book.—New York Times. The Marseinatsa.

Wendell Phillip* Dodge relates an incident growing out of the first meet­ ing of Robert Mantail with Sir Henry Irving, back in 1882, when both were playing Romeo in London. There were reviewers who found Irving too old for the youthful Romeo, and one ad­ vised that he should make way for “the young fellow over at the Olym­ pic." Irving prepared a special aft­ ernoon performance In the Lyceum, to which all tbe players in London were invited. After it was over, Mantell went back of tbe stage, and Irving ask­ ed him how he liked the performance. “It ha* been like an afternoon at school with congenial lessons,” replied Mantell. "How do you do It? How do you manage effects? How do you get such atmosphere, such a realiza­ tion of th* glory of the tragedy, with such little effort? Is there do recipe?" “There is; indeed there Is," answer­ ed Irving. “Simple, too; only three things to remember. The first is si­ lence. and plenty of ft behind the scenes, so that the tclpr may be at ease, with nothing to distract when striving for hl* shading*.

But you never was like oth­ er folks.” . Minerva Grlgaty—bora an Acklen, married to a Biggers and then to a Crook, and only yesterday to Jeremiah Grigsby, so that her friends said she was determined to take a wedding journey through the alphabet—lifted her crisp skirts from the inch thick dust of tbe country road before she re­ plied. “’Twa’n’t do earthly use, Emly. I never was a hand to make a to-do over marry*n*. It’s just like anything else —soon’s you get In the habit it just comes second nature. Besides there wa*n*t no bokay.” “Still," sighed Miss Emily, "I always like to stand by my friends In tryin* moments. No flowers, you say?"

I’m that glad when I think about it I’m right giddy. ’Happiness at last,’ says I to myself, ‘with just a nloe, plain, disagreeable man!*" Minerva Grigsby’s triple plated mat­ rimonial experience sat lightly on her, to judge from the ampleness of her figure and the unworried smoothness of her brow. Tbe cheerful philosophy or philosophical cheerfulness that looked out on tbe world from her mild brown eyes proclaimed her un­ shaken faith In mankind. . “I thought ’twouid a* been real nice to married a genius," ventured Miss Emily. “A genius Is a prenuptial ornament exclusive," announced the bride, em­ phatically. “He don’t have no weartn* qualities. There’s Mr. Biggers, as was alway writln' llterchoor, an* namin’ himself 'Sidney Bigger, thb third.' I asked him if the other two was similar to him. an’ when he says they was I told him I thought there’d been a-plenty of that kind.

I left him this moruin', *s long's he said the sun was too hot to come to church, with the potatoes to scrape an’ th# corn to shuck an’ a few other things to fix for dinner.

Mbs Emily meek­ ly followed Ln tbe walks of Miner­ va's whit* muslin wedding dress as she whbked its skirts from side to side with-an air of assurance that she could now show a man who knew how to be a husband instead of a genius. But Minerva’s assurance was short lived. As they rounded the comer of the house they caught sight of tbe lank figure of the bridegroom stretched full length under a tree near the kitch­ en door.

With his left hand ho held between his teeth a jewsharp. while hb lean right hand hilly twanged th* tongue of th* instrument with meas­ ured strokes as the soothing strains of “Rost for the Weary* floated out upon tho air.

Tedious as the trip to Ardway would ordinarily have been, so absorbed was I in puzzling over the mystery I hard­ ly noted the passage of time and was startled to bear the brakeman calling my station. I had learned from the conductor that it was a village of less than two thousand inhabitants and that there was only one hotel, about a block from the station. It proved to be a country hotel of tbe better sort, doing a thriving business In feed­ ing motor-car folk who passed through and Ln taking care of traveling-men and farmers’ supply agents who Me­ lted the neighborhood. As I signed the register I scanned the names, hoping to see that of Crandall, but It did not appear. Yet registered the night before was a name “Henry Cook" that caught my eye. Something about the writing made Jt as distinctively that of a city man as his clothes would have distin­ guished him from the country boy be­ hind the desk. “Where will I find the post-office?" I asked the clerk. "I want to get a spe­ cial delivery letter off to-night" ’ “It’s a couple of blocks up Main street," he told me, "but ydu'd better go in and get supper. The dining­ room closes at half-past seven and the post-office stays open until eight." 1 took his advice and, after an ex­ cellent meal, lighted my tflgar and walked in the direction he had indi­ cated.

Few of the straggling stores had their windows lighted, so it was with difficulty I read the signs on tbe buildings I passed, ret I had little trouble finding the post-office. It was a one-story build­ ing that stood on a vacant lot In the middle of the block. It evidently had been built by some local politician tar ’he purpose, as it was not quartered in tbe corner of a cigar or grocery store, ns most country offices are. Peering Into the darkness I read the sign "PqstrOfflce," and noted with some surprise that the windows were without lights. 1 drew out my watch and striking a match looked at the time. It was half-past seven. For tack of something better to do I walked round the building. To my amasement when I reached the end away from the street I found the rear loor standing wide open. Thinking perhaps that the ♦ postmaster might merely have gone to supper, relying jn the honesty of bls neighbors to leave things undisturbed, I loitered in the vicinity for a full half-hour. At last, growing impatient, I entered tbe rear door and striking another match looked about me. As far as the uncer­ tain light permitted me to see, the place looked as if the postmaster had seen unexpectedly called away in tbe midst of his work. ' * I recalled that in my bag at tbe ho­ tel was one of those storage battery lights, which happened to be there be­ came I often found it useful in the cabin where I went to shoot ducks. I decided to get this and Investigate further. It had begun to rain and there were few people on tbe street. I returned with my light In a very few minutes and began to explore. ,1 did not greasy fear interruption, for the mail-boxes ot> the street side served William Johnslon as a screen to shut off the abaft of light by which I worked. My second inspection convinced me that tho postmaster had left In con­ siderable hurry. A pile of mall h<lfsorted, a stamp drawer left wide open and the books standing in an open safe seemed to bear out this theory. Even the cash-drawer stood open, re­ vealing a few* blills and some change. "If the cash-drawer had been rifled,” I said to myself, "I might suspect that tbe postmaster had ' been murdered and robbed.” I pushed the cash-drawer shut and heard the automatic lock click on it, and then began a -search for the list of box-owners. At the back of each box a slip was pasted with the own­ er’s name. To my great disappoint­ ment Box No. 17 was blank. I turned next to the safe and at last found the book In which, the accounts of box­ rent were kept In this were neatly entered the name of each box-holder and the two references given, for ev­ ery box except No. 17. As I stood poring over this book, perplexed by my failure to discover the owner, I became conscious that I was watched. A sixth sense con­ vinced me that some one else was near. Quickly I pressed the button that extinguished my electric lantern. Noiselessly I turned toward the rear door by which I had entered. I caught just a fleeting glimpse of a man's face being hastily withdrawn. Undoubted­ ly It was the postmaster who had turned and caught pe there. Of course he must take me for burglar. It had been too dark for me to recognize the features of tbe man and I was certain he could not. Identify me. I stood mo­ tionless for a minute or two, listening Intently,* but I could not bear even a footstep-1 toothing but the patter of the rain. Yet undoubtedly whoever had dis­ covered me bad gone to summon asBlstance. It would never do for me to be caught there. While I felt I was perfectly justified In my mission, it would be hard to make a satisfactory explanation. If I was captured there it certainly would mean an unpleasant night In a vermin-filled shack, perhaps In Irons. It might take several days to establish my innocence. I decided to attempt an escape. The sense of having a revolver in my1 pocket com­ forted me, though I realized Its pos­ session would be most damaging If I should be caught. 1 moved swiftly to the door and peered ouL There was no one in sight Thrusting my lantern in my pocket and tufting up my collar I made a dash around tbe corner of tbe build­ ing and looked up and down tbe street It was entirely deserted. The thought struck me that the man who had been watching me might still be in biding on the other side of the building, but I did not stop to investi­ gate. With the best air of unconcern I could assume, I walked, not over* hastily, back to the hotel. There was no one in the offloe but the clerk be­ hind the desk and I stood there for a moment beside the big old-fashioned stove drying my clothes. The door opened and a tall smooth-shaven chap came In and approached the desk to there be gave me a keen glance of scrutiny. I had noticed that be had come from the direction of the post­ office and he must have seen that my clothing was raln-soffked. He half­ halted as if about, to speak to me, but changed his mind. I heard the clerk "Good night, Mr.. Cook,” as be van­ ished up-stalrs. If this was the man who had seen toe In the post-office, plainly he was not tbe postmaster. If not, who was he? What was he doing there? . It was long after midnight before my mystified brain would let me sleep. Every step I bad taken seemed only to be leading me deeper and deeper into darkness. CHAPTER VI. The Third Suicide. Something had happened. I awoke the next morning with a start and sat up in bed listening to the strange confusion in tbe hotel. In­ stinctively I recognized that tbe Sensa­ tion of the unusual that so affected me was something. more than-the feeling every one . experiences on suddenly awaking for tbe first time in a strange place. I sprang from the bed and, opening my door, looked out into tbe hail. I could see nothing, for a turn of the corridor shut me off from the main hall. From the floor below came the confused murmur of many voices and tbe sound of men moving about—-many men. My first thought was of Are, but (here were no cries and-there was no smell of smoke. Tbe memory of my experience in the post-office recurred to me. 1 vaguely wondered if I had been tracked and discovered. ' 1 hastened to dress. If they suspect­ ed mt■-'* me of ... juuwtufk robbing the post-office, puat-uiuce, me tl»e sooner I found out tbe sootier I could Plan son* method of action. As I pat thinking It might be Hugh Crandall, dead in some suicide pact with Katha­ rine. A sense of disappointment be­ gan to take hold of me. I felt that if it were Crandall my efforts to clear tho mystery Would be still more fu­ tile, but tbe woman’s answer quickly dispelled tbe thought “It .wasn’t a ‘he.’ It’s a woman.” She hurried on down tbe corridor and I hastened to finish my dressing, recalling as I did so Davis’ belief that there would be other suicides. It seemed absurd that there could be any connection between tbe suicide of a woman in a country hotel In an ob­ scure New Jersey village and'tbe two suicides the day before In New York, and yet there was at least one link between them. It was Crandall who had telephoned Katharine. Some one had telephoned Elser, too. It was In Crandall's rooms that we had found the address of this place where the third suicide In tbe series had taken place. With tbe triumphant feeling that my friend the inspector finally would have to accept my theory of Crandall's guilt. I hurried down-stairs and forced my way into the room where the coro­ ner had already begun his Inquest On tbe bed, covered with a sheet, except for tbe face, lay the lifeless body of a woman perhaps fifty, the face still distorted from the death agony. A bit of rope attached to a rod among the rafters of the room showed that she had hung herself. The woman's outer clothing lay neatly plied on a chair near the bed. This much I had time to notice before the coroner finished selecting his jury. Near the coroner, too, I observed the man whom the clerk had called Cook. I thought he gave a quick glance In my direction, but 1 could not be sure. The first. witness was called, Mahlon Williams, the proprietor of the hotel. “Mr. Williams," said th^ coroner, "do you know this woman?” "What was her name?" "She was registered here In the ho­ tel The name's on the book. You can see for yourself. I don’t know if it twas her real name os not." “Mary Jane Teller, Bridgeport, Conn.,” was the entry in ths hotel register which was produced and sub­ mitted for the jurors' inspection. "Tell us, Mr. Williams, what you know about the deceased.” "Mighty little; notfilng at all, In fact She come here night before last Got In on the seven-two train from New York, I calculate, from the time of her arrival. She had no baggage, only that little black bag yonder, and she asked for a room for the night—a cheap room. She seemed so feeble I gave her this room on tbe ground floor. No. 4, and only charged her sev­ enty-five cents for It, though It's a dol­ lar room, or a dollar and a half for bridal couples. She paid for It for one night and right after supper she went into It and stayed there. Yesterday morning after breakfast she went out somewhere and was gone maybe an hour 6r an hour and a half. 1 didn’t see her when she come in but I "Mahlon Williams," said the coroner severely, "you ought to know enough about the law to understand that what you heard ain’t evidence. Tell only them things you know of your own knowledge." "All 1 know," said Williams, percept­ ibly miffed, "Is that she come out along about three in the afternoon and paid another seventy-five cents, say­ ing she wanted tbe room another night That's all I seen of her.” “Can I ask a question?" said one of tbe jurors, all of whom were towns­ men of the class usually to be found around the hotel barroom. "If It is a proper question," said tho coroner judiciously. “Where did she go when she went out?" "The question is a proper one. If the witness can answer it of his own knowledge,” the coroner ruled. "If 1 knowed I’d a told already," said the hotel keeper. One or two of the other jurors asked questions, prompted plainly more by curiosity than by intelligent effort to ascertain the facts; but It was plain that Mr. Williams had revealed all that he knew*, and be was dismissed. Doctor Allen, who had been sent for as soon as the suicide was discovered, gave It as his opinion that tbe woman had hung herself early the evening before, as nearly as be could judge about five o'clock. , "Who was it found the body?" tbe coroner asked. "Mary Evans, tlje chambermaid,” the constable volunteered. “Here she fs, right here.” The coroner proceeded to examine Much embarrassed by the promi­ nence into which abe found herself thrust, but manifestly enjoying tbe unusnal'Sltuation. the girl told how, early in the morning, ss soon as she began her work, abe had gone to the room. "I didn’t know there was anyone in No. 4," she explained. ’"I knew the woman,had taken it for just one night and I hadn’t bothered making it up the day before. None of the other room­ ers was up yet and I thought I might just as well gat No. 4 off my mind. I like 1 -------always do and getting .knocked --------------- --------■ no ax’swer 1 opened the door right i wl<5* a11 a »udd< n. Such a shock -------------------------------------------------------- again to my dying day. There was IKa poor creature a-hanglng there. I let a yell out of me that must have waked tbe dead, and then I ran gnd called Mr. Williams.” . "Had you aeon the deceased on the day previous?" “Yes, but she wasn’t deceased when I saw her." "Did you have any conversation with her?” "No more than to pass the time of day with her you might say.” I was thoroughly disgusted with tbe drivelling way in which the proceed­ ings were being carried on. I could see little hope of any discovery that would establish connection with the “May I Ask the Witness One or Two Questions?” similar events In New York. I turned from listening to the witness to study­ ing the face of the man Cook. Could it be possible he was Hugh Crandall? I saw that he was watchlng'the testi­ mony with eager interest Against my will I had to confess that his face was one that attracted rather than repelled me. While there was a shrewdness about the eyes, the chin was square and firm and the skull well-balanced. I trtbd to read In the shape of the mouth or the curve of tbe ears some sign of the criminal, such as I expected to And written on tbe countenance of Crandall, but it was not there. “She was sitting there crying.” A sentence of the maid's testimony suddenly thrust Itself forward from my subconsciousness as if demand­ ing my attention and I listened In­ tently to what she was saying. "That was the way It happened that I didn't make up the room the day be­ fore When I went in to do it she was Bitting there crying and tearing a letter to bits." A letter! It came on me In a flash that here was the clue, that this was tbe connecting link with the other two cases. I pushed my way forward Into the room, determined to learn all there was about this new phase of the case. The proceedings stopped abruptly at the bustle my movement made, and’ everybody, coroner, jurors and spec­ tators, gaped at me. "I am a lawyer," I said. "May I ask the witness ope or two questions?" Still the coroner gaped and I wait­ ed no longer for his permission. "Was it a yellow letter?” 1 asked. "Now that you speak of It 1 kind of remember that it was." "Has tbe letter been found?” "She was tearing it In pieces.” “Where are the pieces?” The eyes of everybody present be­ gan roving about tbe room, as If in answer to my question. The con­ stable Instituted a hast; search, Ln which I myself, the coroner and the jurors joined. I felt that if we could only find those pieces, tbe mystery m^ht be r.olved. While tbe room was being ransacked I kept my eye on Cook. As I asked the question about the letter's color I noticed that he looked startled. I was amazed now to see him edging toward the door. I was tempted to demand that he be re­ strained and searched. I felt almost sure that If tbe pieces of the yellow letter were to be found anywhere it would be In his pocket Yet second thought advised against suoh rash ac­ tion. I had no positive proof that. Cook was Crandall. Until I had, sure­ ly It would be unwise to accuse him., I remembered that there was no train by which he could leave the town un­ til late7 in the afternoon, so there was little prospect that be could escape "How did you know It was a yellow letter?" the coroner asked me sus­ piciously, pausing suddenly In his search. It was an awkward question. I realized that my impetuosity bad placed me in a predicament. I was by no means ready to tell him tbe whole story, and yet tbe fact that 1 knew or suspected tbe color of the letter that she was tearing up certain­ ly Indicated that I knew something about the woman. “I didn't know IL” "Well, what’d you ask the question about it'for?" he repeated, his sus­ picion of me rapidly Increasing. I was thinking quickly what I could say that would divert his thoughts. I noticed with annoyance that the eyes of every one in tbe room were on me and that they were curiously awaitmystery and drew the coroner to one aide. “I am perfectly willing to tell you everything." I said. ”1 am out here on another matter that is something of a mystery in which a yellow letter figures. The letter has disappeared. I never saw or beard of this old woman before, but when tbe witness mantlooed that siie was tearing up a let­ ter a sudden notion came to me that it might be tbe one of which I was In •earch. A detective who 1* working on the case will be out here this evenlng and then 1 can tel! you more about IL” I spoke the last sentence in a whis­ per so low that it readied only the coroner's ear. He pondered over my statement trad then abruptly an­ nounced that tbe inquest was ad­ journed until nine o'clock the next day. I would have escaped him if I could, but 1 saw that he was deter­ mined to worm out everything I'kocpr or suspected. I decided that activity would be the best remedy for his curiosity.. Accordingly I invited tbe coroner and the constable to come up to my rooms where, without waiting for.them to question me, I began fir­ log questions hot-shot at them, sug­ gesting things for them to do, simple things that Would have been the first thought of the police of New York or any other large city, but which they had not thought of. Had they tele­ phoned a description of the woman to the Bridgeport police with her name to see if she could be identified as any one who was missing from that city? Had they examined her clothing to sec If there was any mark on it that might identify her? Had they studied her writing on the register to see if it gave any indication of being assumed or disguised? Had they examined her pocketbook to see if it contained any clue to a motive? Had they consid­ ered whom she might have come to this town to see? "That idea of calling up the Bridge­ port police ain't such a bad one," said the coroner. "Suppose you do It now," he said, turning to the con­ stable. *'I’d like to know who’s going to payfor it if I do," tbe constable objected.' "There ain't enough fees In this ‘of-’ flee for me to be spending my money, that way." "You go ahead and do it and I’ll see that you get tbe money back." "If you're going to pay it out of your own pocket I’ll do it, but if you expect me to wait till you put it through as a lawful expense I ain't taking no chances.” . Their petty wrangling over such a trifling amount exasperated me not a little. "Here," said I, pulling a flve-dollar bill from my packet, "take this and pay for it and tell them to telephone you as soon as they can what they: have found ouL, This ought to cover both the message and the answer and if there Is anything left get yourself some cigars with it," The constable needed no secowd bid­ ding. As soon as he bad disappeared I turned to the coroner: "Did you notice that man Cock at the Inquest? Who fa he?” "I don’t know who you mean." he replied. "The only Cook I know here In tbe town Is Bob Cook, and he's laid up with a broken leg." "Didn't you notice a tall, smoothshaven fellow who stood right close beside where you were sitting? He listened closely to tbe testimony and tbe minute we began looking for the scraps of the letter, didn’t you see him slip out of the room?* "Come to think of It," said the coro­ ner. “I believe I did notice him, but I can’t say as 1 seen him going out Maybe *twas one of the guests of the hotel." . *• "I thk’. he Is, and I’m’pretty sure he’s i\.4n| j, ^d In the hotel as Mr. Cook, toe, but I'd like to know more about him.” “Let's go down and ask Mahlon. If there's anybody In bis hotel he don't know about It’s something unusual." We found Mahlon Williams in the little boxed-off corner behind the ho­ tel desk that was labeled “Private Of­ fice." Tbe curious crowd was still gaping at the door of tbe room where the suicide had taken place, at least such of them as had not adjourned to the bar to talk It over, so that we ■were alone In the office. "Mr. Williams,’’ I said, "what do you know about this man Cook, who la stopping here in tbe hotel F* "No more than 1 know about you,” said he, "and not as much, in fact, for be didn't ask no peculiar questions at the Inquest Speaking about that let­ ter—" “How long has this man Cook been in the house?" I interrupted, deter­ mined not to let either him or the coroner annoy me with questions. Tbe hotel-keeper, plainly provoked at my attitude, stared thoughtfully at me for a minute and finally decided to answer my question as tbe only hope of getting mfe to answer his.

Mr. White took 1400 apples from a medium sized tree, belonging to Wol­ cott A Danley, leaving them .the re­ quired number of apples tbat a tree of that size could bear. . Mr. White thinned several trees to experiment, in some cases thinning half and leav­ ing half. The trees will be visited from time to time and'reports made of the results. The object of the thin­ ning is tbat the largest and choicest fruit Is obtained.

With the complex and chadtic political situation now prevailing,' it is quite remarkable, and very much to the credit of Mr. Hamilton that among the advocates of his renomlnatlon and re-election are to bo found ardent progressive and equally ardent standpatter-., as well as those of various degrees of belief between these extremes. vice, and that the new member is The reason for this support from almost a negligible quantity in republicans of such differing shades shaping legislation. of belief Is simply the confidence of When a Senator or Congressman these men in the personal and no longer represents the enlightened political honesty and sincerity of and well-considered sentiment of his Mr. Hamilton. district he should retire, or be re­ ML Hamilton Is not so progres­ tired if he falls to grMp the situation sive as The Tribune believes Itself and retire vblunatarlly. to be.

Already have come promises of big exhibits from the finest fruit farms In Western Michigan. The competition Is to be keen and the world will see not only the beat of fruit but will bear of the methods by which these fruits are thus brought to perfection. Besides what the fair itself offers in the way of liberal premiums, the West Michigan Development Bureau has of­ fered special prizes amounting to IGO for the largest, most attractive and most instructive display of fruit In which the spraying and method of care and growth will be given consid­ eration. It has offered prize*, also, for the best apples, peaches, pears, plums and grapes and several com­ panies manufacturing spraying mix­ tures have offered prizes in addition. One of the chief alms of the West Michigan State Fair in this depart ment is that the exhibits shall be at­ tractive and unique. A premium has been set upon the Idea of display as well as the actual fruit displayed This will ensure all those beautiful and attractive designs which make fruit shows especially delightful and interesting. In this particular, the West Michigan Development Bureau has co-operated and made a condition of-its premium the attractiveness of the display. SOME RICH PURSES Fine Horse Flesh Sure to Be Seen at West Michigan State Fair. Flying machines and automobiles are great things and it Is a lot of fun to watch them go. but, after all, there is no sport bolding a greater fascina­ tion for the American public than a good horse race. The horse is still king. Neither would any fair be complete without horse races. Everybody loves to see a fine animal swing into his stride and get around a carefully pre­ pared track. In accordance with cus­ tom the West Michigan State Fair has provided for an exceptionally fine lot of horse races for Its annual ex­ position In Grand Rapids, Sept 9 to 13. R. M. Scbornstein. superintendent of the speed department has taken special care this year to bring to Grand Rapids horses that can go. The Fair has offered 36,000 In purses and will put up trotting, pacing and running events. The track was never in finer condition than now. When Pop Geers and the other famous drlv era sent their horses around in the Grand Circuit meet, they declared they had never driven over a faster track than this. The result was mighty fast time. But since then, weather conditions and the constant working of the track has Improved it vastly. Barring the accident of too heavy rains, the track will be In the best condition when the fair opens that it ever has been in. This means fast time and good races and that is what the lover of a horse trot goes miles to see. president of the United States was officially broken to Gov. Thomas R. Marshall by Judge Alton B.

"About an hour ago, driving past here lickety-spUt with the black mare from Jones* livery stable.” "Which direction did he go?” I cried, all excitement at tbe thought that Crandall was escaping just at the very moment when I, for the first time, had made sure of his Identity. "He must be followed and found at once," I said, turning to the landlord. "Don’t his actions look to you like those of a guilty man? The minute be hears me ask about a yellow letter he disappears from the hotel. There Is no train by which he can escape. So desperate is he that he hires a horse and tries to get away cross country.” I had hoped by my eagerness to stir in tbe landlord something of my own feeling in regard to Crandall’s guilt, but these country yokels are hard to move. "What do you suspect him of?” he Inquired calmly. “Why should he want to escape from you? Have you got A warrant for him?” I was not yet ready to divulge my reason for wanting Crandall captured. Even if we had him, what definite crime was there of which I could ac­ cuse him? I was morally certahi that the yellow letter or letters emanated from him, yet how. could I prove it? A new thought came to me. "Where is bis baggage?" I asked. "He only had a hand-satchel with him,” said Mr. Williams, "and I guess that is up in his room." "Suppose we go look for IL” I sug­ gested. “You don’t do no such thing as that in my hotel,” said the landlord de­ cisively. “not unless you've got a war­ rant.

If he wants to get out of town behind the fastest horses in Jones' stable I ain't a-going to try to stop him, and what's more, if be has left his grip in bis room it le ■going to stay there. Maybe or maybe not,there are things in it, but there !ain’t no prying stranger going to know 'what’s there unless be can show me 1due warrant of law.” "You may be defeating the ends of .Justice,” I warned him sternly, indig­ nantly resenting his remark, yet see­ 1 ;ing no way in which I could success­ fully dodge his appellation of "prying 1 ■stranger” without revealing my whole 'hand, and this I was determined not to ’do until Davis arrived and I had had 1an opportunity to consult with him. “I may be blocking your plans,” said 1the landlord gruffly, "but you’ll get no more help out of me unless I know ■ what it Is you are after. The right k'.pd of •» mystery doesn't hurt the ho­ ■ »tel business, but there's things that do, ' and if you want any help from me, 1young man, I’ve got to know what’s Igoing on.” "I wish I knew myself,” I said men­ tally, adding aloud: “When I am iready to speak you will hear many things that will astound you. Mean­ I ’while, I tell you that I have every rear ison to believe that that man who fled 1from here is a great criminal and that if I you do not aid in his apprehension ;you will be doing a Serious wrong to the community. I’ll tell you this 1 imuch, 1 am convinced that he was re­ isponsible for this woman’s death and 1for other deaths.” *£Maybe he is and maybe he ain’t,” ।said the landlord. **I saw tbe lady ■myself, and nobody can persuade me _it______ ,___w but a suicide. Why, I was anything cut Lei down?*“I am not denying that she commit­ ted suicide,” I replied with some as­ perity, "but I am morally certain that If she killed herself she was driven to it by tbe m«.n who has just Bed. I Insist on being allowed to examine his baggage.” “Look here, young man,' Williams, “I have told you uuw uuu for all that the baggage of no guest in this house is goteg to be examined wt.hout due process of taw. And I want to say right here that it's evident that you yourself know a lot mo/e about this case than you are telling. If you are an officer and can show me a warrant I am ready to give you aH the aid and assistance I can. but until y*u do, I’d advise you to keep your noae out of things that alq't your busi­ ness and to stay out of places you ain't got a right to be -in.” The suspicion crossed my mind that It might be he who bad discovered me in the post office the night before. • I decided quickly that it could not have been, for he was in the hotel when I arrived. 1 felt sure it must have been either Crandall or the postmaster. Plainly, though, there was nothing further to be gained by argument with tbe obtuse Mr. Williams. After all, there ought not to be much difficulty in tracing Crandall by the vehicle in which he had driven away. That could wait until Davis arrived. Meanwhile I pondered on what I could do to throw light on the case. I had it. I would visit the post-office again and see what I could learn about tbe holder of the lock box from which Davis believed tbe yellow letters came. Abruptly leaving the landlord, I strolled out into tbe street, determined to go boldly to tbe post office and make inquiries. As I approached tbe building I saw a little group of vil­ lagers gathered In front of it, the faces of some of whom I had noted aS the inquest. They seemed to be mcltedly discussing some happening. It was not without some trepidation that I came closer. If my visit’to the post office had been discovered and there was anyone in the crowd who could identify me, an awkward situation might develop. I put on a bold front, however, and approached closer. "What’s the matter?" I asked, try­ ing to mcke my inquiry seem casual. “The postmaster's disappeared,” some one explained. “Where r "Don't know," said my Informant. "He didn’t come to the office at all to­ day. When the people come for their mail after the New York .train got In he wasn't here. Hank Rollins always brings It up on the stage, and as he's passing, throws It off on the board walk and the postmaster comes out and gets IL Nobody ever goes for their mall for a few minutes after that, to give him a chance to get it sorted. The first persons who got here today found the mail-sack lying just where the driver had flung it” . “Yes, sir,” broke in an old man whom I heard them call "Dad" Hutch­ inson. “Yes, sir, I was tbe first to no­ tice IL I was going to the office to see if maybe there was a letter for me from my daughter Mary, who lives up Boston way, and J. noticed the sack lying right over there. I went into the office to tell the postmaster about it and kind of have a little fun with him, and bless my soul if there was hide or hair of him to be seen any­ where. Looking through tbe boxes, I could see that the back door was standing open, and I went around there and looked, and I couldn't see anything of him, either. It didn't seem right for the mail to be lying out there on the sidewalk, *twas like taking un­ due liberty with government property, so I dragged the sack around and flung it In the door and went looking for the constable. Then I beard about the sui­ cide and the inquest down to the hotel, so I went down there to fetch him. and all the croud that had been down to tbe inquest come trailing along." "I noticed when 1 come along here last night that tbe post office was dark,” volunteered another of tbe crowd. "I don't know just what time it was. but it was just before it began to rain. I remember, now, thinking It kind of funny the office was shut up so early, but I didn’t stop to investi­ gate. I’ll bet ho wasn’t here last night, either.” “It's burglars, that’s what It fs,” said an excited youngster. “I saw them at work. I come alcng here last night and there was a flash, like from a dark lantern. Right in there behind the boies, it was. They must a been at work then. Ill bet they killed him and hid bls body and made away with all the money and stamps.” “Hdw many of them were there?” “Did you Bee them?" “What time was it?” Questions poured thick and fast on the youngster, who evidently had told all be knew and a little more. I took advantage of the furor his story had created to slip around to the rear of the building, where I found a self-ap­ pointed committee of citizens and the - notable guarding the door. "Has anything been stolen?” I ulaed. "Not as far as we can discover,” said the constable. “There ain't no disorder about the place and tbe safe hasn’t been busted, as far as I can see. I ain't made any regular inves­ tigation. being as this is government property." “Has no one any idea where the postmaster is?" I asked. “That’s just what we've been trying to find out Jim, Sere, as soon as we found Rouser wasn’t here, went up U> the Widow Smith's, where he boards. Thought maybe he’d just overslept or something like that, or maybe was sick. But Mrs. Smith, went up and looked in his room and come down and said be hadn’t been home all nlgbL” "Yes,” interrupted Jim, "and what’s more, she said it was nothing unusual saw nothing that would help me in my undertaking. "We’ve arranged about that We’re sent for Jennie Cox to come over and take charge. Sbe always takes hold when Gharlic Rouser wants to take a day or a half-day off. Sbe knows the combination of the safe and the money­ drawer, and has been Sworn In as spe­ cial assistant. She'll know what to do and who to notify." "It may interest you to know that Post Office Inspector Davis will be out here tonight,” I told them. "I left him in New York last nighL and ho promised to join me here.” Suspicion flashed into the faces of all my auditors. “Maybe that’s why Rouser has dis­ appeared.” suggested the constable. "He’s been spending a lot of money lately, Rouser has. Maybe- he knew tbe Inspector was coming__ _____ short in his accounts.” "He couldn’t have known It,” I pro­ tested. ."The inspector himself didn’t know he was comtng here until late yesterday afternoon, and there Isn’t any way possible that the postmaster could have been advised of his com­ ing." The arrival of the substitute official diverted tbe conversation. Miss Cox, an unimaginative, unattractive wom­ an of thirty, in a moat matter-of-fact way entered the building and took charge. "Tbe first thing,” she said as she calmly hung up her hat and coaL “is: for all you men to get out of here so that I can sort the mail.” Even the constable moved toward the door, impelled* by the authority in her tone and his own respect for gov­ ernment property. I determined not to be routed so easily. It seemed to me that the occasion afforded me an excellent opportunity, not to solve the mystery of tbe missing postmaster, but to work out one of my own pus­ sies—who it was that had rented Lock Box 17. 4 "MIbs Cox," I Bald, “as a personal friend of Post Offloe Inspector Davis, who is to join me here in a few hours in connection with an important mat­ ter, and for your own sake as well, I would suggest that you should keep at least two of us here as witnesses.

"You two may stay, but the rest get ouL" With a narrow sense of duty she in­ sisted on sorting tbe morning's mail before she mrde any Investigation. Meanwhile the constable and I dis­ cussed the case. From him I learned that Rouser, the postmaster, waa a likable young fellow of twenty-five or six, who had held the office for two or three years. “The way he come to be postmaster was this: His father had represented this district in Congress for twenty years or so before be died. Tbe old man was an able citizen, but never bad accumulated much money, though be gave the boy a good education. Charlie, however, wasn’t mbeh good. He was bright and smart enough, but he seemed to lack tbe git-up and gitto-do for himself. After his father died be lived on the little money left him till it was all gone and then just drifted around, getting a meal where he could and his clothes growing shab­ bier and shabbier The womenfolks all liked him and was always trying to find something for him to do. He’d work if he had IL but he wasn't the kind of a fellow to be teaming or gar­ dening or trucking, and it was the hardest sort of a job to find something that would suit him. The old postmas­ ter died and the politicians was about equally divided as to who was entitled to the place. They didn't seem able to agree on no one. Then somebody suggested Charlie Rouser, some of the women-folks I guess It was, and first thing you rknow he had it "It don't pay much, only six hun­ dred a year, but Charlie don’t drink and don’t gamble, so he’s been able to get along on that well enough, and he ain't made a bad postmaster. He’s a weak youngster and easily led, and if he’d ever got into bad company I can see his finish. Lately I’ve noticed he seemed to be spending a lot of money, though where It came from, if the books is all straighL is more than I can imagine.” "What's he been spending it for?” "Well, I noticed him the other day wearing a big diamond in his necktie and he bought hhnself a gold repeater watch and he’s always hiring horses at the livery stable and going off for drives in the evening. One night I seen him buy a round of drinks that cost a dollar and ten cents. That’s what I call spending.” " "Maybe he met wltiran accident on bis drive.” • “Maybe he did, but I don’t believe it likely. A fellow that can get along with women can get along with horses, and while Chartie wasfit athletic or anything like thaL I never seen the horses yet he couldn't drive. By this time Miss Cox had her mall sorted and turned to us with: “If you two gentlemen want to see what’s In the safe, now is yeur chance. I’m go­ ing to ogen ^"cootInxhed.) lots and lots of nights recently when he didn't show up. She bad no idea where he spent his nights. She’s a woman that minds her own business and don’t interfere none with her boarders' goings and comings as long as they pay their money regular.” “What are you going to do about keeping the office open?” I asked, much puzzled over this new mystery.

Locally, it was very similar to a village or town­ ship election, with candidates out bustling, workers trying to get the voters out, and a whole lot of inter­ est manifested. The principal contests were on the Republican ticket, where nearly ev­ ery office was asked for by from two to six candidates. The only con­ tests on the Democratic ticket were on judge of probate, sheriff and clerk. Justice Chauncey Bishop of Hastings was nominated for judge of probate, Albert N. Williams for sheriff and Chas. A. Woodruff for clerk. The county results on the Repub­ lican ticket are as follows: Representative. Chas. A.

Germs that get into the body are killed in two ways—by the white corpuscles «I the blood, and by a germ-kiliingsubstaM that is in the blood. Just what this substance is, we do not know. The blood oi a healthy person always has some garm-killing substance in it to ward off the attack of disease The fountain head oi life is the stomach. A man who has a weak and impaired stomach end who does not properly digest his food will soon find that his blood has become weak end impoverished, and that his whole body is improperly end insufficiently nour­ ished. To put the body in beelthy condition, to feed tbe system on rich, red blood ud throw out the poisons from the body, nothing in the pest forty yeers has excelled Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, a pure glyceric extract (without eloohol), of bloodroot, golden seal end Oregon grepe root, stone root, mandrake and queen's root with black cherry bark. “My husband was a snflerer from stomach trouble and Impure blood," writes Mbs. James H. Martin, of Frank­ fort, Kv. “He had a sore on his face that would form a scab which would dry and drop off in about a month, then another would immediately form. It continued this way for a long time. He tried every remedy that any obo would suggest but found no relief. He then tried Dr. Pierce's Golden Mrdical Discovery which completely cured him. Ho has stayed cured now for two years, and I recommend this valuable medicine for impurities of the blood." Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets regulate and invigorate stomach, liver and bowels.

California believes that .*. large percentage of those who will visit her International Exposition, at San Francisco, In 1913 will be motorists, many of whom will make the trip from their homes, by automobile. The Golden Gate Commonwealth, has beconie noted as a veritable motor­ ist’s paradise and most of tho visit­ ors will undoubtedly plan to tour ex­ tensively, after visiting the exposi­ tion. • ' To ensure this army of tourists the greatest possible enjoyment during their stay, was the motive which has resulted in mapping out a tour, de­ signed to include all the best that California can offer—the sublimity of the Pacific, the desolation of the desert, the grandeur of the Sierra Nevadas and the fertility of the val­ leys, The word “Pasear”—Spanish for loiter about—was selected as the designation of the tour. The route is declared by veteran travelers to com­ bine more historic, scenic and natur­ al attractions than can possibly be included in any trip of similar length anywhere In the world. The pilot tour over the Pasear route . has now been finished. The information gathered Is in process of1 compilation. Representatives of the state gov­ ernment, the American Automobile Association,, the California Fish and Game Commission, a number of prominent newspapers and national magazines made up the crew of the three Studebaker "30” cars, selected as the vehicles. A service car of the same type completed the caravan. The route Included the famous roads El Camino Real, El Camino San Diego, El Camino Sierri and El Camino Ca­ pital, all of them venerable highways dating back to the time of the Span­ ish occupation. In many places the party had to do real pioneering but in every case the cars came through unscathed and unassisted. A great deal of enthusiasm for good roads was awakened ail along the line of the 2,000 mile trip. A unique part of the run was its reliability feature. The contents of the service car had been carefully In­ ventoried at the start. When the tour ended, the Inventory was public­ ly checked with the contents of the car. Not an item of the original load was missing. The cars had come through the entire run without even changes In adjustment. Each one has since been purchased by a mem­ ber of the pathflndlng party.

PASS PENROSE Appropriations for 1913 57,000,000 Loss Than for Previous Year— Focht and Burnett Clash—Taft Goes to Beverly. Washlngton, Aug. 27.—At 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon the second session of the sixty-second congress came to an end. One hour before that time the senate bowed to the house and struck out of-the general deficiency appropriation bill the state claims of Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Maryland, aggregating 3600,000. Penrose Resolution is Passed. Senator La Follette brought up the Penrose campaign Investigation resotion early in the session and with the threat of a long filibuster suc­ ceeded In forcing It through. The resolution was passed without a roll call. Ten minutes before adjournment the house administered a final blow to the senate by refusing to consider a resolution of the upper chamber permitting It to pay its own employes a month's extra salary. Charges of bribery and corruption against Senators Chilton and Watson of West Virginia, which were signed by the governor of West Virginia, were referred to the committee on privileges and elections after a lengthy discussion. House Adjournment Uneventful. In the bouse the adjournment cere­ mony was uneventful. Barely a handful of Democrats and Republic­ ans applauded the final address . of Speaker Clark, congratulating them for their aid during the session and expressing the hope that they would all return in December. Prior to tbe speaker’s address Chairman Fitzgerald of tbe appropria­ tions committee and former Speaker Cannon, the ranking Republican member. Indulged in a verbal duel Both agreed that the total appropria­ tions for the year were 31,019,000,­ 000 as against 31,026,000,000 of the Last Republican congress. Cannon maintained that the Republicans had been as economical as the Democrats but that the total budget of tbe last Republican congress was Increased by the 345,000,000 which they allowed for the Panama canal. Focht and Burnett Clash. Earlier in the day the house whiled away tbe hours by discussing the Im­ migration bill. This was brought about by an attack on Chairman Burnett of the immigration commit­ tee by Representative Focht of Penn­ sylvania. whose language finally be came so unparliamentary that he was called to order by the speaker He charged Burnett with having printed a personal attack on him in the Congressional Record without de­ livering any portion of it on the floor of the house. He characterized the attack as a ” venomous untruth ” and described Burnett as ” a man whe Ores his shot and then gets Into hie murder car and rides away.” President Taft shortly after the adjournment started for Beverly, Mass., where he Is to spend hla vacatiori.

Columbus, O., Aug. 26.—With ths booming of 100 guns the Ohlo-Columbus centennial celebration, one of tbe most imposing, spectacular and patri­ otic features that the middle west has ever known, was opened today for a week of pageantry.

To no class of people have so many good things come as to the farmer. There was a time when the farmer was to a great extent isolated from the rest of the world arid he had a great many hardships to contend with, but it is not so now. Within the last few years the rural free delivery has been installed, so that he receives mail at his door every day. He takes his daily news­ papers and is really even better posted on' the world’s events than most of his city brothers. He has his rural telephone line and is in connection with his neighbors and all the neighboring towns. He has his gasoline engine to do his pumping and much of his other hard work. He has, or will have soon, his automobile to go and come with, so that even if he lives ten miles out he is only half an hour from town. The highways are constantly being improved. Within a short time he will have his house heated by a furnace, equipped with hot and cold water, toilet and bath, and lighted by his own gas or electric plant. And back of it all he has the assurance of knowing that he is in the saf­ est and surest business on earth. Crops are never a failure in Michigan. He may have some one poor crop in a season, but the others will put him on the right side of the ledger every year. Let us put you in this favored class, when you can work with a light heart because you know you are going to win. We have some splendid farms right now to offer at a price which will be attractive. Michigan farms are the best and safest investment available today. We have them run­ ning from 40 acres to 300, and at reasonable prices and easy terms.

McLAUGHLIN, Local Agent. Oyster Bay, Aug. 27 — Chagrined at the failure of the senate to call on him for an official explanation of the $100,000 contribution made by the Standard Oil company to his campaign of 1904, Theodore Roosevelt is prepar­ ing a written defense, which he will send to the committee which ia inves­ tigating campaign contributions. Roosevelt would like to have been called to Washington testify at once. The senators, however, were unable to gratify bis. desire because of the impossibility of assembling the full committee before September 30. Angered, Colonel Roosevelt immedi­ ately set up the charge that he was being discriminated against; that be was not allowed an opportunity .to de­ fend himself from the accusations which have been made against him. both while a candidate for the-presi­ dency, and while an occupant of the White House. ■ “The senate need not bother about conferring additional powers upon Its committee to summon me," be assert­ ed. "I am eager to testify." He added that be was willing to g’.vs a detailed explanation of his dealings with George W. Perkins and William Flinn. In his statement. Colonel Roosevelt, it Is said, will brand all the charges that he knew of the $100,000 contribu­ tion of the Standard Oil trust; that be* asked for I1SO.OO& more, and that when the additional fund was not forthcoming, he instituted prosecution against the trust, as Alse and mali­ cious, and trumped up to cover the charges of corruption In the Repub­ lican party. Letter Will Be Long. The letter will be long. Roosevelt expects to spend pretty much all day working on It, and he Is not sura It will be finished by night Roosevelt said that he had seen George B. Cortelyou, who was Repub­ lican national chairman in 1904. “Mr. Cortelyou tells me that he never heard Mr. Archbold's name men­ tioned in connection with any contri­ bution by Mr. Bliss," Roosevelt said, "and that as regards himself tho whole story is a fabrication out of whole doth, as. of course, it is about me.” Roosevelt's statement read as fol­ lows: “I feel that the committee ought not to have gone away and let Archbold go to Europe without taking any of his testimony on the really grave charge, and then failed to let me ap­ pear Immediately, knowing, as the committee must know, what my later engagements are "Not to permit me to go on and testify amounts, as the Democratic and Republican friends of Mr. Penrose. Mr. Lorimer and Mr. Archbold tn the senate, of course, know, to rendering it almost Impossible for me to. appear later without causing the most serious dislocation of my announced plans. The incident Is especially significant as showing the way that the Interests for which Mr. Penrose and Mr. Arch­ bold and their like apeak, have Joined in their assault on the Progresslvea and me. They are entirely willing to see either of the two old political ma­ chines triumph because they control both. Their real hostility is reserved for me and the Progressive party. Calls Charge Hearaay Gossip. “Remember that the charge was against Mr. Penrose, and, that he has not been investigated, although the evidence on that charge was direct All that has been investigated has been the counter charge, as to which there was not and never will be; be­ cause there cannot be. one shred of evidence, direct or Indira'-’ All that has been produced is malicious and in­ jurious hearsay gossip given at second hand. As far as I can make out, the assusatlon by Messrs. Penrose and Archbold really is that a contribution was made for the improper purpose of securing an Improper consideration, and that I refused to give the im­ proper consideration. “Let me repeat that if any contribu tion was received from the Standard Oil company, it was against my ex­ plicit and reiterated written prohibi­ tion and not only without my knowl­ edge. but in spite of the fact that ex­ plicit assurance was given me that no such contributions were given or could be received." Loeb To Tell of Talk. What Col. Roosevelt knew and did In the matter of John D. Archbold's alleged 4100,000 contribution to the republican campaign fund in 1904; what President Roosevelt said to E. H. Harriman and what Mr. Harr) min said to President Roosevelt about Harriman's 4340.000 contribu­ tion are matters to which William Loeb. Jr., formerly Roosevelt's pri­ vate secretary, is prepared to testify before the senate committee investi­ gating campaign contributions. ercording tc an announcement made here by fol. Roosevelt. ence Darrow Is again arraigned upon a charge of jury bribing during the McNamara trial—as now seems prob­ able—he will face a judge from some other county. Tbe refusal of the twelve superior court judges of Los Angeles county to preside over the threatened proceedings has ‘ bad no effect upon the determination of the prosecutor to go on with tbe case Judge Hutton, who presided over the long trial which i«M*ulled in the speedy acquittal of Darrow on 'Aug. 17. left no doubt as to his opinion as to the attorney's complete innocence, and at once announced that he.would hear no further cases a<alnst him. Similar to Other Cass. Tbe charge upon which Darrow was acquitted was that he had bribed Talesman George N. Lockwood The new charge upon which it is now ex­ pected that he will be tied is that cf bribing another talmman Robert IXhin. Judgo Hutton's refusal to hear this case was quickly followsd by the re­ fusal cf all the other judge i when they were approached by Presiding Judge Willis, and tho situation was finally taken up with Governor John­ son. Can Assign Outside Judge. A judge, under the law, may be as­ signed from some other county, but It was learned that no definite seleo tion has been made. Judge William P. Lawler, who pra sided In the San Francisco graft trials, was considered, but it is said that Judge W. M. Conley of Madera county woaid be designated when the case is called. Darrow Must Stand Trial. The motion of Clarence 8. Darrow’s attorneys to.dismiss the Indictment charging the former chief counsel of .the McNamaras with the bribery oi Robert Bain, the first Juror chosen tc try James B. McNamara, was denied by Judge Willis of the superior court The case was continued until today when the date of Darrow’s trial or the Bain charge will be SeL 76 KILLED IN J. c. c.

Remarkable Changes Effected In Dress and Social Activities In FemInlne World. Tbe modern society woman has n multitude of expenses that her grand­ mother never even dreamed of; her visits to the masseuse, the hair­ dresser, the chiropodist are a neces­ sary part of her grooming today. While grandma tucked her switch guiltily away in the drawer of her dressing table and could not be bul­ lied Into the admission that she used powder, today her granddaughter un­ hesitatingly admits that she wears false braids and curls and that the soft glow of health on her rounded cheek was skillfully applied by a "perfect wonder” of a beauty doctor. Social affairs have Increased in num­ ber as well as in variety, and this, has brought about a great change tn my lady’s wardrobe. Our grandmoth­ ers talked about their "best dress” and "best hat,” the up-to^late lady speaks of her bridge gown, her dinner gown and her dancing frock. She has not one gown for dress up affairs, but 12 or 15. She has an appropriate out­ fit for each occasion. Not only must the gown be suitable, but all the ac­ cessories, including hat, wrap, gloves, shoes, veil. Jewelry and even lingerie must be in absolute harmony. When one stops to consider that the woman who is "in society” does remarkably well if she keeps within 1100 for a year’s supply of gloves, some idea may be formed as to the amount which she spends for such items as tailored suits, ball gowns and furlined evening wrap*. Arsenic Found In Vegetable*. Arsenic has been found as a normal constituent in man and animals, and now Drs. Jadln and Astrug, two French biologists, show that it may be derived from edible plants and fruits. They examined thirty-nine vegetable substances, and obtained arsenic from all, the quantities ranging from 0.03 part per million In the leek to 0.25 part per million in almonds and beans Other vegetable matters, containing arsenic arc the common cabbage tbe turnip, the potato, cultivated mush­ rooms, black truffles, Japanese ' rfee, red haricots, white haricots, gray peas, split peas, lentils, artichokes, salsify, chicory, lettuce; spinach, green peas, celery, carrots, watercress, cauli­ flower, wild asparagus, hazelnuts, fil­ berts, chestnuts, apples, pears, oranges, pineapples and bananas. Potted Roses. There was a time when Englishmen could celebrate St George’s day by feasting on roses as well as wearing them. Old cookery books abound In recipes Into which roee leaves enter. One writer tells how to make pot­ ted roses. "I first pound some of the most fragrant roses in a mortar; then I take tbe brains of birds and pigs well boiled and stripped of every par­ ticle of meat I then add the yolks of some eggs, some oil, a little cordial some pepper and some wine. After having beaten and mixed It well to­ gether, J place It over a slow fire.

OPENING DAYS Friday and Saturday, Sept 13-14 Dale Quick CAUSED ACCIDENT Nearly Every Member of the Train Crew Dies Instantly—Moet of the Victims Were Occupants of the Smoker. . . Shawano, Wis., Sept 2.—Seven per­ sons were killed and twenty-one in­ jured when five cars of a fast Chica­ go-bound sleeping car train of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad were plunged down a twenty-five-foot embankment in the midst of the Wis­ consin woods, five miles from Sha­ wano. Seven Pullman cars and the spe­ cial car of W. D. Cantlllon, general manager of the road, in which were hls family and a party of friends, re­ mained on the track, the occupants being severely shaken up,. but none seriously injured. Washout Caused Accident The accident was caused by the washout of a bridge spanning a small stream, which had been swept sway by a heavy cloudburst only thirty minutes before the arrival of the train. Almost every member of the train crew was instantly killed. Only the occupants of the smoking car and the day coach were among those in­ jured. Those in the one Pullman car that went over the embankment were thrown out* of their berths, but, ow­ ing to the steel structure of the car, it was not smashed, and its occupants escaped with slight Injuries. Coming Home From Vacation. The train is a palace car train, con­ sisting almost entirely of sleeping cars en route back to Chicago and the south with sportsmen and families of the rich who have been spending the latter part of the summer Id the northern woods. Occurring in the dead of night in the midst of the dense woods and five miles from the nearest station, it was hoars before help could arrive. Alex Schoells, ~ ‘ “ a mall clerk, was pinned under wreckage for several hours, while every moment it was feared that fire would start in the debris. He later died. General Manager Cantlllon took personal charge of the relief work. The Dead: C. BUSHEY, conductor, Green Bay. GEORGE MARKS, brakeman, Green CARROLL BENNETT, baggageman, Green Bay. STEWART G.

There was a time when the farmer was to a great extent isolated from the rest of the world and he had a great many hardships to contend with, but it is not so now. Within the last few years the rural free delivery has been installed, so that he receives mail at his door every day. He takes his daily' news­ papers and is really even better posted on the world’s events than most of his city brothers. He has his rural telephone line and is in connection with his neighbors and all the neighboring towns. He has his gasoline engine to do his pumping and much of his other hard work He has, or will have soon, his automobile to go and come with, so that- even if he lives ten miles out he is only half an hour from town. The highways are constantly being improved. Within a short time he will have his house heated by a furnace, equipped with hot and cold water, toilet and bath, and lighted by his own gas or electric plant. And back ot it all he has the assurance of knowing that he is in the saf­ est and surest business on earth. Crops are never afailure in Michigan. He may have some one poor crop in a season, but the others will put him on the right side of the ledger every year. Let us put you in this favored class, when you can work with a light heart because you know you are going to win. We have some splendid farms right now to offer at a price which will be attractive. Michigan farms are the best and safest investment available today. We have them run­ ning from 40 acres to 300, and at reasonable prices and easy terms. We want to talk with you if you are interested in buying a farm. We can make you an attractive proposition. Warranty Def^k Ernest Edmonds, et al to Samuel E.

As my taxi turned into the street I saw another oqp stop before the Par­ rish door. At first I thought it must be the doctor or one ot his akslstants. but as the front door dosed behind the tall figure of a man who had been admitted to the house I realized that it was some one I bad seen before. There was something reminiscent in the broad shoulders, in the walk. It was some one I knew, or ought to have recognized, yet who it waa or where I had seen him I could not at the moment recall. I was not three minutes behind him in reaching the door. Though the other visitor had been admitted at once, there was no immedlalte response to my ring. I waited a while and rang again. It seemed minutes before any one answered, then one of the maids opened the door a trifle and peered out. “Mr. Kent to sec Miss Louise,” I said. To my great amazement she did not open the door to me, but still holding it just barely enough to enable her to talk to’ me, said: “I’m sorry, but I have orders to admit no one to the house.” ■Dumfounded at such a reception, I still thought she was only carrying I out a general order, the wisdom for which 1 could readily see. “Of course, 1 understand that you have your orders, but please tell Miss Louise that Mr. Kent Is here.” “I’ll tell her.

I turned away from the house and wandered aimlessly on. There was some mys­ tery in Louise’s conduct I could not fathom. She refused to see me, yet just ahead of me some one else hid been admitted to the house. A wave of jealousy swept over me. Who was this other' man ? I racked my brain, striving to recall hls appearance, try­ ing to remember what there was that was familiar about him. All at once it came to me. A wild rage filled me. I knew now who he was.

Miss Elizabeth and her niece Muriel, who was visiting her, were setting the luncheon on the ta­ ble. It was a "pickup” luncheon Mon­ days. Miss Elizabeth explained, as she set two pieces of custard pie and a saucer of snow pudding on the side­ board. Muriel nodded. The family to which she belonged knew all about “pickup" meals. But suddenly a look of consternation swept across her face. “Aunt Elizabeth!” she cried, “if here isn’t a visitor—getting out ot a carriage!" Miss Elizabeth looked over Muriel's shoulder. “It’s Mrs. Stacey Reed!” she declared. "Put the tea on the ta­ ble, child. I’ll bring her right out.” ’’Bring her out?" Muriel repeated; but her aunt waa already opening the door, and Muriel, in an agony ot em­ barrassment, knew that she had not even taken off_ her green-checked apron. She gave a Lasty glance over, the table.

But she was Interrupted by Aunt Elizabeth's voice, cordial and full of pleasure: "Come right out, Mrs. Reed. We were Just sitting down to luncheon. This is my niece, Muriel Hastings. Muriel, will you get Mrs. Reed a plate?" Muriel set a plate for Mrs. Reed. She could not talk, it all seemed so embarrassing. At home they would have put off luncheon forever rather than ask anyone out—so. She waited tn a torture of anxiety for her aunt's excuses. Then slowly she began to realize not only that there were no ex­ cuses, but that both ladles seemed to be enjoying themselves. Aunt Eliza* both only laughed when she offered the guest her choice of custard pie or snow pudding. That evening Muriel suddenly said: “Aunt Elizabeth, I never knew one could have company like tbaL We never do at home.” Miss Elizabeth's eyes dwelt kindly upon the young face, which already bad its tired lines of worry. "Do you like to ‘put folks out,’ Muriel?" •Why. no, of course not,” the young girl answered. "Well, then."

ROTH HAAR’S SAYS PAID LABOR SLUGGERS Letter* Purporting to Be From U. 8Repreoentatlv* to San Qu*ntln Prisoner to Be Offered a* Evi­ dence. Washington. Sept 10.—Charges pur­ porting to connect directly Represent­ ative Frank Buchanan of Illinois with acts of labor violence in Ohio and Pennsylvania in conjunction with J. J. McNamara, now serving a prison term in California for the Los Angele* dynamiting, will be filed today with the senate sub-committee on judiciary by Walter Drew of the National Erec­ tors' association. Buchanan was for­ merly president of the International Association of Structural Bridge and Iron Workef*. The new charges embody a letter declared to have been written by Bu­ chanan to McNamara in which the Illinois congressman said that two dis­ satisfied worker* in the Toledo labor trouble* in 1906 who were threatening trouble ."bad nothing on him and Jet them do their worst to me." “Snak**" on th* Job. The charges also deal with the case of a man named McIlwain*, who wrote to the international, while Buchanan was president, saying that “snake* ware working on a job at Abrams, on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad. And that fifteen of the "*nakes" had been sent to the hospital, but that the railroad was getting more and giving them protection. It is charged that President Bu­ chanan advanced 1500 ball money for McIlwain* when he was arrested, and the minute* of the International are reproduced showing the record of this transaction. One of Buchanan * later reports is quoted a* stating that he had arrived at Philadelphia and met Business Agent Mcllwaine. In connection with labor trouble in Cincinnati, while Buchanan was presi­ dent of the international, additional charges are made. Aftermath of Hearing*. The new developments are the after­ math of hearings on the revision of the federal Injunction statute held by the sub-committee in Washington on June 13 and August 13 of this year, tn which a letter dated 1906 from J. J McNamara to M. B. Ryan, both officers of the Structural Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Worker* was filed by Attorneys Drew and James Amery containing the state­ ment that ex-PresIdent Buchanan au thorized Brother McClory to do some "missionary work In Toledo." The letter stated that McClory thought >150 would be sufficient for the work and that be had secured four men. among them two named Borden and Elsemore. After going to Toledo and returning to Cleveland these two men were arrested for assault commit­ ted in Toledo. After a trial by a jury, which resulted in a disagreement, the men pleaded guilty and were sen­ tenced to six months Id jail. According to McNamara's letter to Ryan. Elsemore received $321 and Borden >316 for their time and trou­ ble. They were dissatisfied with this payment, according to McNamara. In a statement before the senate committee on August 13. Representatire Buchanan said: Calle Statement Untrue. “If the statement 1* correct that McNamara wrote such a letter at that time, he wrote what was not true. The only money that I authorised to be spent was In the way of organiza­ tion. which I had authority to do only when authorized to do so by the con­ vention. " STRAUS IS NAMED IN N. Y.

HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO CONSIDER THE IMPROVE­ MENTS IN RURAL CONDITIONS DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS? To no class of people have so many good things come as to the farmer. There was a time when the farmer was to a great extent isolated from the rest of the world and he had a great many hardships to contend with, but it is not so now. Within the last few years the rural free delivery has been installed, so that he receives mail at his door every day. He takes his daily news­ papers and is really even better posted on the world’s events than most of his city brothers. He has his rural telephone line and is in connection with his neighbors and all the neighboring towns. He has his gasoline engine to do his pumping and much of his other hard work. He has, or will have soon, his automobile to go and come with, so that even if he lives ten miles out he is only half an hour from town. The highways are constantly being improved. Within a short time he will have his house heated by a furnace, equipped with hot and cold water, toilet and bath, and lighted by his own gas or electric plant. And back ot it all he has the assurance of knowing that he is in the saf­ est and surest business on earth. Crops are never a failure in Michigan. He may have some one poor crop in a season, but the others will put him on the right side of the ledger every year. Let us put you in this favored class, when you can work with a light heart because you know you are going to win. We have some splendid farms right now to offer at a price which will be attractive. Michigan farms are the best and safest investment available today. We have them run­ ning from 40 acres to 300, and at reasonable prices and easy terms. We want to talk with you if you are interested in buying a farm. We can make you an attractive proposition. Nashville Real Estate Exchange Practical Idea. Safe Rule.

Wear Like Iron ■Dt*ire*i County Clerkship to Aid Him in Attaining a Long Cherished Ambition. Roy Andrus, who was nominated last week at the primary as repub­ lican candidate for county clerk, has resigned the position of city carrier, which he has filled for several years. His resignation has yet to be act^d upon, but will, no doubt be accepted. Mr. Andrus’ position is now in the government classified civil ser­ vice, where the regulations forbid participation in politics. Mr. Andrus construes his nomination by the re­ publicans as ‘'participation in poli­ tics” within the meaning of the law, and has therefore concluded :hut he ought to act promptly, and has done so, as one would expect who knows him, and the high Ideals of duty which he entertains. Some have wondered why Mr. An­ drus would give up the position of city carrier, which he could have held for many years without a contest, in order to accept a nomination for au office ftfr which he must depend up­ on the voters of the county, and an office which, if he is successful at the polls, he has agreed to quit at the end of four years.. We are able to state the facts in the case, and we believe when the people of the county under­ stand them, they will thoroughly approve Mr. Andrus' course in seek­ ing the county clerkship. « Mr. Andrus has always had an am­ bition to be a lawyer. He entered the Michigan University law school, and pursued his studies there for a year and a half. He had to depend entlre|y upon himself and to pay his own way while at the university. He went as far as he could, and then was obliged to take up other work, so Issue of Fact. that he has never been able to com­ City of Hastings vs. Robert and; plete the studies necessary to. permit Fred Morris, ejectment. him to enter upon the practice of the Aldrich Bros. vs. Fred Green, assumsit. the character of that work have not Fred W.

An unbidden and unwelcome guest, jealousy came and sat by the altar of my heart, stirring the fires of my love for Louise into furious dart* of flame that scarred my soul. That Crandall —for 1 was positive now that tbe vis­ itor who had entered the Farrlsh home had been he—should have been admit­ ted to the bouse with so many things pointed to his guilt, while I, an ac­ cepted lover, and certainly Louise’s faithful servitor, had been barred with such scant courtesy, filled me with dumb, unreasoning rage. I felt that all claims of friendship and of service, even disregarding the still stronger claim* of honest love, entitled me to far different treatment Yet even in the burst of anger that overwhelmed me there was not a single thought of harshness toward Louise. I felt that If I could but see her she would explain everything sat­ isfactorily. It was toward Crandall that all my wrath was directed. Feel­ ing a* I did, sure that be was respon­ sible for Katharine’s attempted sui­ cide and for her poor father's plight, 1 feared that his visit to tbe house boded ill for Louise. Undoubtedly bis malign influence bad persuaded her to bld me drop my efforts to solve the mystery. He must have realized that I was close on his trail, so danger­ ously close that with the effrontery of tbe daring criminal he had ventured to come to the house in one last effort to thwart my plans for his exposure. As 1 became calmer I resolved on a course of action. Louise’s strange re­ quest to me over the telephone must have been made because she was dom­ inated by the fear of this villain wbo had brought disaster on her father and sister. Perhaps she feared that some evil might befall me if I persisted in trying to run him to earth. Possibly she was afraid that still greater evil might come to those she loved. I felt that for her own happiness it was nec­ essary that I should continue my course. I would go on with mj inves­ tigation and once for all free her from the crushing thrall of this hidden evlL I would wait where I was until Cran­ dall had left tbe house, then I would Insist on seeing her and telling her my resolve, nor would I permit her to dissuade me from iL On tbe corner was a drug-store, Sheltered by Its awning I took my stand to wait until Crandall left tbe hou*e. I could see the Parrish door, yet my presence there under the awn­ ing would hardly be noticed. I had not long to wait In abcyit five min­ ute* the door opened and tinf caller emerged. This time I bad an opportu­ nity to get a good look at him. I was right. His face was that of tbe man who had been reglstererf in tbe Ard­ way hotel as Henry Cook, who had ao abruptly left tbe room when tbe in­ quest was being held as I had begun to ask questions about tbe yellow let­ ter. who had driven from the town be­ hind tbe fastest hors* obtainable.

"There has been no one here,” said Louise with a painful effort, “no one answering that description.” “How did you come to look for th* paper in your desk?" "I wanted—" she stopped short "Mr. Kent,” sbe said, her entire manner toward me stiffening as sbe withdrew her bands from mine, "I asked you last night if you would not cease your Inquiries at once."

If that is the case I know you will do what I ask without trying to force my confidence.

His many friends feel that the excellent record he made as a member of the lower house during his first term, now drawing to a close, entitles him to tbe deserved recognition of a sec­ ond term. He has been a student of conditions and has been an apt scholar injearnlng the ways of con­ ducting state affairs, so that he is particularly well equipped to serve his district ably and will during the coming term. During bls first term he became a recognized leader among the legislators, and bis zeal la furth­ ering beneficial legislation is univer­ sally recognized. His strict honesty and Integrity are unquestioned, and he has certainly proven a credit to the county during his first term.

As a matter of fact, it is a matter of serious doubt if the winner of the series could justly lay claim to the Independent cham­ pionship of the state, anyway, as Grand Haven, the Wasmuth & Emmera team of Grand Rapids, and sev­ eral other teams around the state have as much a claim to the title as either Charlotte or Hastings.

Funk, Manager of Inter national Concern, Tells of Com­ pany's Organisation and How Com­ petition Was Dealt With. Chicago, Sept. 17.—There is to be no "immunity bath”, for George W. Perkins, Cyrus H. McCormick. Charles Deering or other leading spirits in the organization of the International Har­ vester company, which, the govern­ ment charges, was formed in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. Neither Perkins. McCormick nor Deering, it was announced will be called as witnesses in the pending civil suit to dissolve the corporation, tn which the initial hearing of evi­ dence was held in Chicago. They will not be asked to testify on the.ground that such testimony would grant them Immunity. This announcement gave the first Intimation that the government is con­ templating the possibility of criminal prosecution against the men responible for the formation of the giant combine. Joseph R. Darling, special agent of the department of justice in charge of the preparation of evidence against the harvester company, made known the fact that the three men were not to be summoned. ‘The government does not propose to allow these men tr gain immunity by testifying in the civil suit." he ex­ plained. “It will be remembered that the packers tn the 1906 prosecution of the beef trust gained an 'immunity bath’ because of information which they furnished the government We do not intend to have a similar thing happen in the prosecution of the har vester company." "Does that mean that the big men tn the harvester trust will be prose cuted crimina’lyT’ Mr. Darling was asked. "It means that the government will take no chances of granting them Im muntty from such a prosecution," he replied. William H. Jones, almost an octo genarian, came from a retirement ol four years in response to a subpoene to tell about the organization of th* combine. He is still a vice-president of the harvester company, but has nc active duties. The only other “big man" In th< company that the government Intends to call is John J. Glessner. vice-prosi dent, who has not been active of lat» years. Neither Harold F. McCormick nor James Deering, both vice-presi dents of the company, appear in th< list of witnesses made public. Wil Ham M. Gale. E. N. Wood and Alexan der Legg are among the subordinate officers and employes who will be called. William H. Jones was questioned particularly about George W. Perkins connection with the origin of the com bine, in which nil harvester com panics, with the exception of fou: comparatively small enterprises, were merged. g "All my dealings for the'sale of the Plano works were conducted with Mr Perkins in his office with J. P. Morgan St Co.," the witness replied. Clarence 8.

Will be presented at the opera house next Tuesday evening, September 24, by a clever local cast. The play Is full of the atmosphere and local' coloring of the Blue Grass state, and with absoute fidelity, pic­ tures the types of people found In the. southeast corner of Kentucky, almost within rifle shot of Virginia and Tennessee. This locality is the most picturesque in the entire United States. It is here that the feudsman dwells, as well as the moonshiner. The story has to deal with a pretty girl who, after spending fifteen years of her life in this mountain wilder­ ness in the care of two faithful old negroes, meets and loves a young northerner. The sacrifice of the man­ ly Jim Randolph, her kinsman, who is always walking In the shadow of death, enlists the sympathy of every heart in the audience. The Kentuc­ ky Colonel, who can shift bis quid to the southwest corner of his mouth and ewear a blue streak, played by Tom Copeland, is a great character, while Uncle Jeff, to be impersonated by Will Ackett, is a role with even finer opportunities than that of the famous Uncle Tom. The real old­ time plantation melodies, to be sung by the quartette, made up as typical field darkles, will be one of the fea­ tures of the .performance. Photo­ graphs of the cast. In costume, are now on view, in front of the postoffice, and are attracting a great deal of at­ tention. A big drop curtain is car­ ried with the production. The band will play a medley of southern airs In front of the opera house before the performance, and the orchestra, will render the music Incidental to the play. The production Is for the benefit of the band, and the advance sale of seats starts next Monday at Von W. Furniss’ drug store. Prices 25 cents and 35 cents. Licensed to Wed. Charlie T. Coats.

Chicago, Sept. 18.—Eleven boys, re­ cruits at the United States naval training station at North Chicago, lost their lives in a Lake Michigan tragedy. Tragedy Occurs Near Shore. Twenty-three boys, one able sea­ man, who was a petty officer, and an­ other petty officer, set forth early for a pleasure salt They became help­ less in a gale, fought their way al­ most to the shore, and the tragedy oc­ curred within one hundred feet of frantic people on the beach. All but one was able to swim un­ der ordinary conditions, but could do nothing against the high wind and heavy surf. A verdict that the eleven appren­ tice seamen who died at Lake Bluff. Ill., "came to their -death by drowning while off duty,’’ was returned by gov ernment officers who constituted the jury at the inquest The verdict does not place the blame. A full investiga­ tion on the part of the government h to be started. The officers who com posed the first board of Inquiry acted also as tbe government board. The known dead are: William Ed ward Antrobus, twenty-one years old Indianapolis, Ind.; Roy Claude Harlan seventeen years old. Bloomlugdale Ind.; J. L. Lindsey, nineteen yean old. St. Louis; Walter E. Negus. chleJ gunner’s mate, in charge of the boat twenty-eight years old. Attleboro Mass.; John Alvin Patton, twenty three years old. Canton. O.; Willlair L. Southworth, eighteen years old Plttshurg, Pa.; John Wallace, elghteer years old, Turner. Ind.; F. F. Winkler eighteen years old, Chicago. The men who are missing and whe are known to have been occupants o: the boat are: J. W. Bauld, twenty-foui years old. Beardstown. Ill.: L. R Field, twenty years old, Sorento. Ill.; W. W. Woodward, twenty-one yean old, Warsaw. Ind. Hundreds See Boys Drown. In full view of hundreds of people along the shore the boat capsized. The lake was alive with struggling boys. Many of them had never been In rough water before. They were of the newest recruits. They struck out strongly for the shore, but there was an undertow addition to the heavy waves. Three boys got almost within arms' reach of rescuers when they were snatched back by the sea and went down. J. P.

I got through with that and picked up the last bundle of letters. In It was no less than six letters addressed to Lock Box 17. ’Seventeen's rented at last,* says I, thinking It funny that J didn’t know the name on them, Henry Mal­ colm Stewart. Who's got it? 'I’ll take charge of them,’ saya be. taking the lettera right out of my hand before I had a chance to look at the postmarks or anything, I noticed, too, that hg didn’t put them In the box, but jammed them into his pocket along with a lot of other letters he had. I couldn’t say who the other letters was ad­ dressed to, for I didn’t get a chance to see them. They might have been bls own, for all I know. But I couldn't help thinking that the only reason he'd waited till tbe mall was distributed was to get hold of them Lock Box 17 letters. As soon as he got them he went away, and he didn't come back till after closing time." "Have you any idea where he went?" "When I come over here that day I supposed he was going to the city, but a few minutes after he left the office I saw him driving put in one of the "Which direction did he go?" I asked, feeling more and more sure that I had struck the right trail. In all probability this young fellow ta the post-office was merely an innocent tool of Crandall. He had driven off some­ where to meet Crandall and give him the Lock Box 17 letters, for I was con­ vinced that Stewart was merely an aliu of the villain who had been send­ ing out tbe yellow-letters. If I could learn where the postmaster had gone on this visit, I might be able to find him now. "Every time Charlie Rouser goes driving," said Miss Cox. "he always goes that way,” indicating the opposite direction from tbe station. "I shouldn't be surprised ta the leut If be was keeping company with some farmer’s daughter." A sudden light came into her eyes and a smile of satisfaction spread over her face. "Land alive, I never thought of it before," she exclaimed, "but I’d bet anything he’s gone off to get mar­ ried." "Hardly likely," said I. "He wouldn't go off and leave tbe office unguarded without telling any one. And he wouldn’t leave five thousand dollars lying there ta the drawer." “That's just what he would do. Til bet he had a windfall of some sort and the minute be got the money In his hands be just couldn't wait to go and tell the girt." "Somebody would have known it if he got a horse at the livery stable, would they not?" “Oh, that’s neither hese nor there. He might have gone on his bicycle. He generally keeps it over there ta tbe corner, and it ain’t there now.” "It might be np at his boarding­ house.” "It might be," said Miss Cox. It came To me that if Davis had thought it worth while to go to the Widow Smith’s to make inquiries. It might be worth my while, too After asking Miss Cox for directions, I told, her I was going to see If Rouser'a didn’t ask no questions,. though _ I un­ derstand he 'ites 'been sleuthing around up to Widow Smith’s, where Charlie Rouser boards. If he's looking for anything wrong with Charlie's ac­ counts it’s my private opinion that be ain’t going to find IL I've been all over the books twice today and there ain’t anything out of the way.” "Have you any idea where all that money came from that we found be­ hind the cash-drawer?” "No, and I don’t see that It's any of my affair. His books is right, and bis stamps and his stamped envelopes is all accounted for. Maybe he made It ta Wall street, or maybe somebody left it there with him for safe-keep­ ing.” As I recalled Davis’ parting Instruc­ tions to me when I had first come out to Ardway, I was more and more surprised that he had not tavestigat ed further at the post-office. He had seemed to think that the clue to ths whole mystery would be found there, and he had particularly charged me to find out to whom Leek Box No. 17 had been rented. IS decided to ask Miss Cox if she knew anything about it "Seventeen has never been rented as long as I have had anything to do with the office. It is away off there in the corner where it is hard to see into. There's always been more boxes than there was any call for. Not one of them in the lower row ever has been tented, even In summer, when there’s a lot of city folks out here.” "Do you ever remember of seeing any mail addressed to that box?" She worked Industriously at her crocheting for a minute or two before replying and then, putting it aside, said thoughtfully: up one of the side streets to tbe "It’s funny that you should have boarding-house.

Rou«w was sorting ! ed her to M-'compcny him to some Everything, to my mind, pointed to his haring gone to meet Crandall. How to account for the fact that Rouser had not returned was still a poser to me, but as I reviewed Cran­ dall’s connection with the chain -of persons.who bad been driven to death I found myself believing that it was not at all out of the range of possi­ bility for Crandall to have made away with Rouser for fear of betrayal. From all I had learned about the missing postmaster, I was convinced that be was weak rather than vicious, and I felt that ho probably was an Innocent party to the nefarious plot of the yel­ low letters. Davis’ story that it was a crime of two persons, after all, was only a theory. When the' mystery was cleared up I was positive that the only criminal who would be uncovered would be Hugh Cpan^aU. I jhuddered as I recalled that Louise even now'wM somewhere with him, not exactly alone, to be sure, for the car was driven by her chauffeur, but still it was a most disconcerting thought As I approached the hotel I saw a buggy stop before it, the occupants of which were Davis and the constable. Ab Davis dismounted I heard him say to the constable: "Tonight at eight” "171 be on hand, you bet” said the constable as he drove off. I quickened my steps and overtook Davis just as he started up the stairs to his room. "I’ve gqt some great news for you," I whispered and went on up with him. The minute he got into tbe room he flung himself on the bed, as if utterly worn out and lighted a cigarette. I had expected, that he would be eager to question me but this did not seem to be the case. He lay there with eyes half closed as if unaware of my pres­ ence. . Annoyed as I was at his seeming in­ difference, I was sure that when I told him my amazing news about Crandall and my discoveries about the post­ master he would be effectually aroused. I took it for granted that hla mood was due to despondency ’ over his failure to And either of them. “I have seen Hugh Crandall twice, no. three times, today," I said by way of beginning, "and I have found out how Rouser went when he left the post office." "Yes,” be said absent-mindedly. "What’s more," I cried impatiently, "I know who had Lock Box No. 17. I know what was done with the mail that came to that address.’’ Davis, without answering me, reached for another cigarette, light­ ing it from the butt he had been smok­ ing. His nonchalant indifference grated on my nerves and I lost my temper. "Confound it. Kent," he said with considerable asperity, "I was so busy thinking out something I really didn’t hear what you said. Sit down and toll me all about IL" Mollified by hla apology, I sat down on the foot of the bed and told him the story of my day, how I had seen a man going into the Farrish home and had recognised him later as Hugh Crandall, or at least as the man who bad registered at the hotel as Cook; how I had been barred from the house; how I had discovered another yellow­ letter suicide in tbe park; how, when I returned to the Farrish home after Crandall had left, Louise had told me of the theft of the scrap of yellow pa­ per from her desk; how she had left me to go off in her automobile after Insisting that I dropthe investigation; how I had seen her again, crossing the ferry with Crandall in the ma­ chine; how I had returned to Ard­ way and bad learned that Lock Box 17 was held in the name of Henry Mal­ colm Stewart; how the missing post­ master himself had been in tbe habit of putting the mail that came to that address into his own pocket and go‘Ing off with It, and finally, how Miss Cox and I had determined that when The Minute He Got Into the Room Ho Flung Himself on the Bed. he disappeared be had gone off on bis bicycle. "From all I have learned.” I said in conclusion, "1 am convinced that Hou­ ser waa the tool—ta all probability the Innocent tool—of Hugh Crandall ta carrying out t-ls nefwlous schemes.

CHAPTER XII. The Ride in the Dark. Not since my early boyhood has the terrible fear of darkness come over me as it did that night at eight as the three of us set out from Ardway. The mystery of the journey, too, added to Its terrors. I had not seen Davis after his startling announcement of hie nocturnal mission until he came into the hotel dining-room for supper. All through the meal he had laughed and chatted on all sorts of Immaterial sub­ jects, Influenced undoubtedly by the fact that there wefe several others seated at the table with us. There had been no opportunity for private conversation between us before we left the .hotel together a little before eight for a side street where Dodds, the constable, was waiting for us with a vehicle. We had lingered at the table until all the others bad left Just as we got up, Davis turned to me and in a hardly perceptible tone asked: “Have you got that revolver I gave you?” "It’s up-stairs," 1 answered, in the same understone. "Do you want it?*’ "No," he said significantly, touching his hip pocket, "but you may." I hastened up-stairs to get the weapon and when I returned be was waiting for me at the door and hurried me around the corner and into the buck-board. With Dodds crowded ta between us we drove along the street leading away from the station and soon struck what is locally known as the Plank Road, skirting a chain of hills which the residents dignify by the name of mountains. So precipit­ ous and rocky are these that little ef­ fort had been made to cultivate them and tne habitations are few and far between. There seemed to be prac­ tically no travel at night We encoun­ tered only one vehicle of any sort, and that was about two miles out from Ardway.'wben we heard an automobile in the distance behind us. "Turn out,” whispered Davis to Dodds, "and stop until it has passed Tbe constable dsew in under the shade of some trees. It was pitch dark, the only light coming from an ancient lantern hung over the dash­ board. As the automobile came near­ er Davis unhooked the lantern and holding it down between his legs shielded it with tbe folds of a long raincoat he was wearing. The auto­ mobile dashed by us, apparently un­ aware of our presence. "All right," said Davis, as soon as It bad vanished in the distance, “go Dodds drove on in silence for per­ haps two miles farther. We passed a little stone cottage nestling in a clear­ ing under the hill. “It’s just beyond here?” said Davis, a note of inquiry in his voice. "Yep," said the constable, "Miller’s Lane, they call IL” Though In my city eyes there was do sign of a road, Dodds, about three hundred yards beyond the cottage, pulled the horse sharply to the right and we began ascending a rocky lane that led almost straight up tbe hilt "Wait a minute,” said Davis, and tbe constable checked the horse. Jumping out quickly tbe Inspector seised the lantern and dropping back a few paces began making what ap­ peared to be a minute examination of tbe road. • ’"Taint much of a road," the con­ stable whispered to tne while we wait­ ed. “It’s only used for logging, though when we come up here this afternoon there was automobile tracks both go­ ing and coming.” -What Did You Flndr tened the horse to a tree. Again tak­ ing the lantern Davis made a search of the road, finally returning the lan­ tern to itj place, after carefully extin­ guishing it "Come on this way, as quietly as you can," he directed. "I’ve got this," I said, showing hint the little pocket electric light with Which I had explored tbe post office. "Do you want lit* "Keep it in your pocket .We may need it, but it is better not to show' a light if we can avoid iL" I put it back ta my pocket and took the precaution of placing the revolver Davis had given me in the side-pocket of my coat where it would bo more easily available. Davis moved off soundlessly through the clearing with the constable, I close at his heels. There was more light here than there had been on the shaded read, but even so we could see hardly twenty feet ahead of us. "This ain’t the direction of the cot-' tage,” whispered Dodds. “I know. I want to find something else first,” Davis explained, keeping' straight on through the darkness, like a hound on a fresh scent.

Has it oc­ curred to you that the purchaser of your farm pro­ ducts takes your receipt for every dollar paid you in this manner. If business men find a check account a neces­ sity in their transactions with the public, such an account is surely important in your own affairs. When you pay your bills in cash you are running risks of “bad memory," “carelessness,” “short change,” and a chance of having to pay a second time. A check account eliminates all such chances of error—for your check on this bahk is a record in writing, witnessed, receipted, and therefore, nndisputable evidence.

Furniss HOME TALENT SHOW FINE. “Down in Kentucky,” Bruce Cbesterman’a pretty story of the south, was presented at the opera house Tuesday evening by home talent to a splendid house, of which it was well worthy. The work of Miss Ila Rem­ ington as Virginia Randolph was a surprise even to those friends of Miss Remington who were aware that she bad histrionic talent,' as she car­ ried the leading ingenue part in a most finished and charming manner. All of the characters were well por­ trayed, the stage settings were very pretty and the lighting effects excel­ lent. The singing by the darky­ quartette helped to make the evening enjoyable, as did the music by Bux­ ton’s new orchestra. Altogether, the evening was a delightful one, and Nashville will always be ready to give Mr. Chesterman a warm wel­ come whenever he comes again. UPHOLDS REV. W. J. WILSON. The Ministerial . Associat'on of Hillsdale, Michigan, in due . and regular session on the date above stated desires to give expression to the following: Resolved—That having known Rev. W. J. Wilson, late pastor of the M. E. church of this city for the past three years, and* having been closely associated with him as a citizen and fellow laborer in Christian work during that time, and learning with regret of the unfortunate conditions now surrounding him by reason of certain charges publicly made grow­ ing out of his domestic relations, we desire to voice our confidence in the life and conduct of Mr. Wilson dur­ ing all the time of our acquaintance with him. D. B. Martin, Pres., Pastor. College Church. J. G. Connor, Sec., Pastor, U. B. Church. JUST PLAIN “TWO-FERS.” A fellow claiming to be a Cuban, and looking the part, worked the vil­ lage Tuesday. He was attempting to sell “special hand made seegars” made by his people in Cuba,” and his story was that he was selling them to pay his expenses while he was studying English in Grand Rap­ ids. They were “regular 15 cent seegars, made to sell two for a quar­ ter”, and he only offered them to smokers who were recommended to him as being good judges of a fine cigar. An examination of the boxes, however, revealed that the cigar were manufactured at a factory in Brooklyn, and a sample of one re­ vealed that the $6.00 per hundred he asked for them was about six times what they were really worth. His game was a clever one, but we have not heard of anybody In Nash­ ville who fell for it. STARTS CHURCH MONTHLY. Rev. L. J. Dunne of the Baptist church issues this week the ilret copy of his new church monthly magazine, which he has named “The Register." It is a neat magazine of 51 pages, with a liberal amount of interesting religious articles aud local church news. The advertising pages are well filled, local merchants beiag liberal patrons and a number of out­ side firms being on the list ot patrons. The News office did the printing of the first isssue, but Mr. Duuno huo put tn a press and printing material and expects hereafter to Issue the magazine from his own plant. The magazine represents a largo amount of hard work and Mr. Dunne should be liberally patronized In order for him to make the venture a remuner­ ative one. GOOD PROSPECTS. Coach Appleton, assisted by Prin­ cipal Webb, has had the high school foot ball team out on the gridiron several times the past week and is putting the boys through a lively course of sprouts to hammer them In­ to shape for the fall schedule. The date of the first game has hot yet been decided, but we believe the boya are going to give a good account of themselves this year, as in the past. The team will be much lighter this year than for several years past, but the coach thinks they will make up in speed and pluck for the lack In weight. He has a much larger squad to pick from this year than ever before and the competition for the team is awakening a great deal of interest among the young­ sters. COXKF.HKXCB A1TO1XTMEXTB.

THE STORE OF CERTAIN SATISFACTION What the Man Said Whenever Millie Kasper and Ralph Waters approached within bailing dis­ tance of each other’they were instant­ ly plunged into a panicky, embarrassed silence. It was such an assertive si­ lence that it drew the attention oi everyone within sight. The knowledge of this added to the misery bf the two principals. It was remarkable that two persons who were so shy should have fallen in love with each other. Not that they precisely knew they were in love. They merely realised that it was impossible for them to stay away from each oth­ er, and that it was an agony to be In each other’s presence. They suffered because they never had anything to say to each other. . Sometimes Millie in sheer despera­ tion would carefully rehearse a con­ versation for the next time she saw Ralph,, but if she remembered her part Ralph, of course, was not aware of the part she had assigned to him, and nobody can carry on a conversa­ tion without at least a little assist­ ance. While carefully tying his necktie and brushing his coat preparatory to calling on Millie, Ralph frequently fix­ ed in his mind some Joke with the in­ tention of repeating it to Millie and thus making himself appear perfectly at eaae and indeed a bit of a wag All the while he was laying these plans he had the hideous certainty in the bottom of his soul that when h» ar­ rived at Millie’s he would be seized, bound and gagged by his unconquer­ able diffidence, and would sit squirm­ ing in silence, with his lipa as immov­ able as though padlocked. . It is impossible for two persons, however shy, to sit staring at each other in silence for two or three hours at a time. So It had grown to be the habit of these two to play two-handed cribbage. The necessary remarks of ’■Fifteen-two,” "A pair," “Sequence of four,” and the like had to them the reassuring effect of brilliant repartee. Occasionally these remarks so braced them up that they smiled timidly, fleetingly at each other, thus making their hearts thump tumultuously and hopelessly confusing their game. The exasperating part of it was that they were not troubled in this way by the presence of other people. Neither of them was vivacious, yet they found not the slightest difficulty in express­ ing their thoughts to others when it was necessary.

McDerby’s Airship FLIGHTS EVERY Town of Tuttlingen, Birthplace of Max Schneckenburger, Is Preparing to Erect Monument to Its Fa- ' mows Citizen. BRAND NEW Neldlngen, Gutmadingen. Geisingen, Immendingen, Mohrlngen, Tuttlingen —all these are passed before reaching our first camp. But of these Tuttlin­ gen la our darling. W® have not passed a village that could have made us happy for many days; each with its ruined castles, its medieval tower, its steep gables. Its colored tllea, cheery peasants; but writes Poultney Bigelow in "From the Black Forest to the Black Sea,” all this, and more, too, is united in Tuttlingen. This lit­ tle town also.has its feudal castle, its ruined battlements, its legends, and its quaint gables; but it has more than this—it has the proud distinc­ tion of having educated the poet who made United Germany. The war-song that has made all Germans merge their local differences in one great purpose—the common fatherland; that united Bavarians and Prussians, Saxons and .Wurtemburgers, in 1870; that brought victory over the French, and an imperial crown to the house of Hohenxollern—that song is “Die Wacht am Rhein,” written at the age of twenty-one, by a lad whose school­ ing was obtained in Tuttlingen. It is needless to say that his name Is Max Schneckenburger. The people of Tuttlingen are now raising the money needed to place here a worthy monument to the man who has 'made their town famous. They have placed a square pedestal upon the bank of the stream as a mute invitation to help on the noble work. Of course, we brought our mite from across the Atlantic, and promised to stir our friends up also. In Tuttlingen is a committee of the leading citizens, who are prepared to receive and acknowledge contribu­ tions. Little Is known of Schneckenburger. He dle«* in 1848. when only thirty years of age. His father blackened boots and lifted trunks in a village tavern near Tuttlingen, but was ob­ viously of superior character, for he eventually became a small merchant and married welt Max was, too, poor; but in Tuttlingen he was thoroughly Schooled and then sent to Switzer­ land, where the post of e;rand boy was given him In a grocery storeHis short life was one of hard work and small earnings, far from his be­ loved fatherland, and seeing of the world only what appeared In the course of trips made as a commercial traveler. His widow assures us that a day never passed that Schnecken­ burger did not kneel in prayer for his fatherland, and his. motto, chosen at the age of fifteen, was this word a)une, “Deutsch.” In 1840 be wrote “Die Wacht am Rhein” as an indig­ nant protest against the French pre­ tentions of that time, but the battles of Gravelotte and Sedan had been fought before his country was made to know the source of their Inspira­ tion. Schneckenburger is another of the many names that humanity loves to honor, but which, alas! humanity discovers long after its honor has ceased to be of any material conse- Boys’ dark blue serge, Eton style, braided®! 7C down front, patent leather beltwlilv Work Was Remedial.

Other disorders suggest kidney ills. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for disordered kidneys. Nashville people testify to their worth. Mrs. J. E. Hamilton, State St., Nashville, Mich., says: “I__ _ take Elea sure in recommending Doan’s idney Pills in return for the benefit they brought me. A dull, nagging backache kept me in misery and I was subject to headaches and dizzy spells. In the morning upon areising, my back was lame and weak and the kid­ ney secretions caused me much annoyance. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply from Furniss’ Drug Store and after using the contents of two boxes, my trouble disappeared.

We had come to a path which led us through a short thick growth of un­ derbrush. As noiselessly as Indians following a trail we felt our way along, the silence broken now and then by the sound of a bough bent back, or a rustling leaf. Soon the path brought us out or. some rising ground. Not fifty yards ahead of us appeared the de­ serted cottage. "That’s it,” whispered Dodds. "Ssh!" answered Davis. "Wait here!” We stopped there just at the edge of the underbrush, peering into the darkness, straining our eyes to see and our ears to hear. From the one window in the side of the one-story log hut a dim -light shone, proving that the place was either occupied or bad been very .recently. As we became more and more accustomed to tbe darkness I could see that there were apparently two paths, tho one on which we were standing and another leading off at about right angle.

Has it oc­ curred to you that the purchaser of your farm pro­ ducts takes your receipt for every dollar paid you in this manner. If business men find a check account a neces­ sity in their transactions with the public, such an account is surely important in your, own affairs. When you pay your bills in cash you are running risks of “bad memory.” “carelessness,” “short change,” and a chance of having to pay a second time. ■ A check account eliminates all such chances of error—for your check on this bahk is a record in writing, witnessed, receipted, and therefore, undisputable evidence. , WE PAY 4% ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS Farmers & Merchants Bank THE BANK THAT CAN DO THINGS FOR YOU.

Bill Cortright is one of the most reticent of men—sometimes, and he is all of that right now when questioned about a little episode of last Sunday. He was taking his folks to Lake Odessa with his auto. He saw a little mud hole in the road ahead, and as the car had just been nicely washed up he took the side of the road to avoid the mud. He avoid­ ed the mud, all right, but the em­ bankment was a bit steeper than he estimated and the darned auto just tipped over. Tipped right over on its side and spilled Bill and his folks right out. Bill was driving slowly, as he always does, so no one was hurt much, except as to feelings.

Lawrence, Mass., Sept. 30.—Closing to on a squad of policemen who. with Irawn revolvers, had attempted to force them to disband, the leaders of i procession of 5.000 textile strikers itabbed one officer in the back, trashed tn the head of another with 1 blow from a club and seriously in­ ured several more. ’ Hundreds of shots were flred during he street battle and tn the rioting hat followed. The police were com­ peted routed and the strikers coninued their parade. The streets are irowded with strikers and more rouble Js feared. The city, which la argely composed of mill workers, Is practically in a state of Insurrection. Workers Gather st Station. Three thousand of the workers bad fathered at the railroad station to wel­ come several hundred visiting sympahetlo workers from nearby mill towns, •rho bad come to Indorse the twenty­ tour-hour strike, which began today. After the arrival of the trains 5,000 of the workmen and their sympap Lhlxers formed in line to march to the center of the city. At their head was Carlo Presca. a prominent member of the Industrial Workers of the World, waving a red flag. A squad of police­ men was rushed out to meet the marchers, with orders to disperse them. The marchers refused to break step. The policemen drew 'their re­ volvers and charged. The crowd fell back as they saw the weapons, but gaining courage as Presca and his aides spurred them on. they closed in nn the officers, many of them with drawn revolvers, and a pitched battle ensued. Policeman Thomas McCarlle and Special Officer Ludwig seized Presca. Firing their revolvers into the air, the officers were about to es­ cape with the prisoner between them when McCarlle fell to the sidewalk •with two stab wounds in the back. A moment later Ludwig collapsed from a blow on the head from a club. The assailants made their escape. Exhorts Followers to Kill. Freed. Presca waved hls red flag aloft again and exhorted hls followers to shoot to kill. The strikers rushed the police, wounding many of them, and then exultantly resumed their march to the headquarters of the In­ dustrial Workers of the World. The authorities fear that one of the greatest strikes in the history of textile industry is about to begin, and are considering the advisability of asking Governor Foss to send state troops to the scene. • The workers began a twenty-fourhour strike as a protest against the imprisonment of Joseph Ettor, Arturo Gtovannltti and Joseph Caruso, who nre to be tried separately for the mur­ der of Anna Lopizzo, who was shot and killed during the strike riots of a few months ago. SUMMER HAS GONE! Fall is at hand—most of the crops have been cared for—the rest soon will be. Now is the time to begin to plan for another year.

Most of the notorious bad meq of the west were blue-eyed, but you don’t find a man with blue eyes shootuig or stab­ bing a man In 'the back or kidnapping a child or writing blackmailing let- While I was not <t al! convinced by his argument, I felt that It would be useless for me to dispute it, for I would be invading comparatively un­ known territory, whereas undoubt­ edly had dozens of cases at hiz finger­ tips ready to Illustrate his theory. I decided to change thb subject. "I recall, too," I said, "that you asked If Crandall was left-handed. Bo far as I saw. be i* not. What of that? Is that another proof of Crandall’s In­ nocence?” "No,” said Davis, "that didn’t prove Crandall’s inoocenoe. It proved Hou­ ser’s guilt In fact it was the left­ handed clue that put me on the right track and eventually led me to this very cottage." • "For Heaven’s sake," said I lmpa: tlently, “don’t talk In riddle*. Go on and explain IL" "You’re not to blame,” he continued calmly, “for not having seen the left­ handed clue. You lack tbe education. Only a person who had seen hundreds and hundreds' of envelopes and had studied them closely would have ob­ served it. You remember that a po­ liceman brought me part of a yellow envelope that had been found in old Andrew EImt'b room. On it was a stamp and part of the postmark. The first thing that I noticed waa that the stamp was put on crooked. This might mean much or nothing. A left­ handed person stamping a letter in­ variably gets tbe stamp on crooked. Ib ordinarily Is put in the upper right­ hand corner of the envelope. A riftfit­ handed person stamping a letter has the two edges of tbe envelope as a gui^le. Try putting on a stamp with your left hand and you win see that your hand comes in such a position that the edges of the envelope are hidden and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the stamp is out of plumb. On the other hand, a* a post­ office Inspector. 1 rm well aware that in a burin ess homie or office where there I* a large correspondence, an office boy mailing hundreds of letters at a time, is apt to get most of the stamps on crooked. If this yellow let­ ter was one that had been mailed tn a business office, the crooked stamp meant nothing. If, on the other hand, it had been mailed singly or with a few others, it was pretty safe betting that tbe man who mailed it was left­ handed. It was easy after I came to Ardway. especially a* Rouser was al­ ready missing and every one was talk­ ing about him, to learn that he was left-handed." "I still fail to see." I said stubborn­ ly. "why you did not suspect Cran­ dall. There were many things that seemed to point to him—his telephon­ ing to Katharine just before she shot herself, hls sudden disappearance, the finding of the morphine syringe In hls rooms, the Ardway address in his note­ book. coupled with the fact that Gen­ eral Farrish had forbidden blm the house. 1 do not see how you could help suspecting him.” "I’ll admit that on the surface these things all did look damaging, but J against this was the one important fact that be was too well-balanced— ; too sane, if I might put it that way. 1 qtilckly learned that be wbs a repu­ table business man. ’hat he was one of the governors in two clubs, and you yourself infori*t? me that Katharine FttrrH*- bed 'nenghr highly of him.

Many times tn my life I have seen the souls of men, and women, too, put to hard and bitter tests. Once I saw a motorman whose car had crushed a lovely child. Around, him -pressed a howling, angry mob,’ led by the baby's father, who would have had his life. With bold daring, he stood on his platform as on a throne, with his controller bar for bis only weapon, and defied them all. Yet, even as he stood there outwardly so bold, I saw in bis eyes a misery as great as man could bear and live. For days and months 1 doubt not that bis nightly dreams brought him con­ stant horror-pictures of the child he had killed. g Once, too, I had tb be the bearer of the news when a workman's mis­ step on a frame of steel sent him plunging down eighteen stories to death.* In the foul tenement where I told my news I saw a tired, gaunt woman walk the floor and scream and naoan, three frightened little children clinging to her skirts.

Shackled hand and foot though he had found himself when he came out of his stupor, his belf-control was at first wonderful. For a few minutes after Davis had fastened his bonds he lay there tossing and twitching, then suddenly opened his eyes—piercing, devilish, uncanny black eyes they were—and tried to sit up. The rope through the manacles be­ hind him stopped him short and threw him back on his couch. At the same, time he caught sight of Davis sitting Dear the* foot of his couch. In silence they eyed each other, neither of them saying a word. Stealthily Young shifted, first his hands and then his feet as if to ascertain the extent of his bonds. Finding himself secure­ ly fastened, he let his eyes rove around the room, and discovered me. He studied my face sharply, as if te* read my mission, but quickly turned Die gaze to Davis again, as if recog nixing in him his master captor Then he laughed—a hideoujp chil­ ling,^defiant laugh, that ended in an unhealthy gurgle in his throaL “Well?" he «.s»kt-d inquiringly^ I looked lor Duvb to seixe on this aroused from drug-slumber, would be weak and nervous, to ply him with questions about the things we wished to know, but the Inspector was too much a master of hit craft for that. As If he had not heard his prisoner's question, he sat there staring fixedly at the man before him. One minute passed, two minutes— three, and still Davis sat silent and unanswering. The cumulative force of prolonged silence began to grow on my nerves. This waiting, waiting, was torture. If only one of them would speak. To Young it must have been far worse. Still they kept at it, Davis staring straight Into Young's eyes and Young trying to stare back. For a few minutes he succeeded, and then his eyes shifted and fell. With a master effort of. his will he brought them back to Davis and held them steady. There the two of them eat as In a duel, the prisoner’s baleful eyes shoot­ ing forth venom, hate, murder, while In the other's steady glance was pic­ tured relentless justice. Of course, there could be but one end to 1L Powerful as was the will In the drug-racked body, the twitch­ ing of the muscles, the involuntary drawing up of the limbs and arms as far as the bonds would permit, and most of all the clasping and unclasp­ ing of the fingers told what torture the silence was bringing to Young. He burst forth at last in a wild flow of profanity, cursing Davis, curs­ ing me, cursing everything, cursing God, and still Davis sat there as rigid and as silent as the superior of a Trappist monastery doing penance. At times the prisoner’s voice was raised to a hideous shriek, at times It sank to a pitiful sob, and all the while he tugged and strained at his bonds, twisting, turning, reaching, trying always to find some position in which he could gain possession of the morphine that lay on the chair just beyond his reach. At last—It must have been an hour later—physical exhaustion conquered him and be lay back, after one last frantic struggle, weak and panting, unresisting. The inspector arose, and. walking over to the couch, stood there look­ ing down at him. "Aleck Young," be said evenly, "your whole game is up. I know all about General Farrish and Andrew Elser and the woman from Bridge­ port I know about Dora Hastings, who committed suicide in the park lake yesterday, and about Henry Eberle, who sent you the five thous­ and. I know everything that your unfortunate aide, Rouser, knew, and now I want you to surrender all the letters and papers in your pos&s- "You will never get them," sneered Young, as I sat there marveling at tbe inspector’s revelations. It was news to me that he knew the name of the Central Park suicide, and while I myself bad found the five thousand dollars, I had had not the slightest intimation that Davis knew from whom it had come. "Either I get those letters," said morphine.” Young laughed In his face. "You haven’t tfffc slightest evidence against me for anything. Without let­ ters or documents you can prove noth­ ing. You have no right ta keep me bound up here. I shall get free and shall make you pay for this. I don't care what Rouser has told you, you’ll get nothing out of me and you have proof ot nothing. "Very well." said the inspector, “no letters, ne morphine.” Turning away from the couch, he st>oke to me in a tone as indifferent as if we had been camping together: “Come oh, Kent, let's see what we -can dig up for breakfast.” We found the cottage well supplied with provisions, as if it had been the intention of the conspirators to make kt their headquarters for some time. In a very few minutes Davis had some bacon fried and toast and coffee made, which he spread in the little lean-to that was used as a kitchen. “So you mean to starve him, too " I asked in an undertone, pointing to the couch. "It won’t be necessary," said Davis. ’Take something in to him if you like You’ll find that the only appetite he’ll have will be for morphine.” Nevertheless, I took a cup of coffee and some toast In to the prisoner.

J. Wilson, Ph. D., a former pastor, will discuss "Christian Citizenship", and In the evening, at the Evangelical church, "The Bible in the Public Schools”. To both of ' these ser­ vice® the public is cordially Invited. It has been arranged that the morn­ ing service will be held |n the var­ ious churches as usual, but the eve­ ning services, excepting the Young Peoples’ services, will be given up In the interests of the Important meet­ ing of the evening. This will take place at the Evangelical church at 7:00 o’clock. Dr. Wilson, one year ago, took a supernumerary relation in the Michigan conference that he might be free to represent the "work of the National Reform association of Philadelphia. Pa. In this field of labor he has been eminently suc­ cessful. The themes he will discuss Sunday are In direct relation to his work and are prominently before the public today, and are therefore worthy of a large hearing. HOW TO FIND SUCCESS. That you may find success,”___ said Rev. Charles Brooks in an address to boys, "let me tell you how to succeed. Tonight, begin ypur great plan of life. You have bnt one life to live, and it is Immeasurably important that you do not make a mistake. To­ night, begin carefully. Fix your eye on the fortieth year of your age, and then say to yourself: 'At the age of .forty, I will be a temperate man; I will be an industrious man; an eco­ nomical man; a benevolent man; a well-read man; a religious man; and a useful man; 1 will be such an one; 1 resolve and I will stand to it.'

Harry Cochems of Wisconsin, for­ mer La Follette leader, who is now working for the colonel, stepped up to the chairman of the assemblage and interrupted him to whisper the news. Audience Told of Shooting. "My God!” explained the startled man. and he sank back into a chair. The audience looked on in blank amazement Cochems stepped to the fore of the stage and in quivering voice announced: “Ladies and gentlemen, I have sad news for you. Colonel Roosevelt has been shot" A murmur ran through the audi­ ence. "Some crank shot at him as he was on his way here," Cochems went on. "The colonel is outside here and win soon address you, because he in­ sists on it I ask you to be as quiet as you can, as be is In great pain. ' “If there are any physlcto°> to the audience I wish they would hurry back of the scenes. They are needed." Instantly Dr. R. G. Sayle and Dr. Frederick A. Stratton of Milwaukee hurried back. They found Dr. Terrill sitting on a chair beside Colonel Roosevelt, trying to induce the ex­ president to give up the speech and go to a hospital. "My dear doctor, that Is impossible," declared Roosevelt firmly. "I’m going to make that speech If It’s the last one." Crowd Madly Cheers Rocsevelt Seeing it was useless to interfere, the colonel’s bodyguard escorted him to the platform. As Roosevelt walked firmly to the stage as though nothing In the world was the matter, the gi­ gantic crowd burst into the wildest cheer he has heard In his campaign trip. The ex-president had in bls pocket a carefully prepared speech which he had dictated on the train on his way to Milwaukee. Without formality, ex­ cepting to greet the crowd as “Fellow citizens of Wisconsin.” the colonel pulled the manuscript of his speech from his pocket. As he drew It out be found, for the first time, that the bullet bad penetrated. The bullet had torn a round hole In tbe thick manuscript It had gone Into the fleshy part of the chest and had lodged there. Blood on Manuscript Those on the platform saw a tinge of red about the bullet mark on the manuscript Dr. Terrill started from his chair, bound on having the ex­ president stop and go at once to the hospital. Roosevelt saw him rise from the chair. Turning round, the ex­ president exclaimed. Impatiently: "Yon just stay where you are. I am going to make this speech, and you might as well compose yourself." Dr. Terrill sat in his chair, his face blanched, as Roosevelt launched Into the speech. "An attempt has just been made to kill me." he said. “I am carrying the bullet in my body now, and so I will have to cut my speech short.” "You’re a child of destiny," cried NOW’S THE TIME to be looking up that farm you were going to buy this fall. Don’t wait unfl winter comes Do it now while you can see what the soil is. You don’t want to buy blind­ folded. And there’s never going to be any better time to buy farming lands than right now, for these farms are nev er going to be any cheaper YOU CAN REMEMBER when it took a darned good farm to bring $40 per acre.

MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS CASTORIA Lansing.—Sarah Krapp. a daugh­ ter of James Connolly, has asked the state Industrial commission to set­ tle the claim of her father’s estate against the city of Lansing. Connolly was the aged street cleaner killed when struck by an automobile truck. He was on duty at the time of the ac­ cident. As yet, the city has made no provision for caring for such cases and has no fund out of which to pay the claim. The board has called upon City Attorney Dunnebacke to act in the matter. He has promised to tak«the matter before the council. The city has no option in the matter rela­ tive to contesting the claim because the law puts cities under it automatic­ ally, according to the board.

I fired yellow letter after yellow letter at the general, but he kept defying me, and all the while Crandall kept after me to make me give up the papers. I was afraid I'd weaken.

I put It up to Crandall and we arranged a meeting I was to put the papers in her hands and she was to pay over the money. I slipped up on the first appointment and I guess you must have spoiled the second." I still was puzzled. What could be the terrible mystery In proud old General Fairish's life that gave this miscreant such a hold on him? It was beyond my Imagination to con­ jecture, so I put the question bluntly to the prisoner. "Why ask me?" he snarled. "You’ve got the whole thing—every paper bearing on it in your pocket there." Quickly I snatched the envelope from ray pocket and was abdut to rip it open. At last I was to know the secret that had brought such unhap­ piness intp the life of Louise. At last the mystery was to be cleared up. But just as my thumb went rudely under the flap. Davis laid a restrain­ ing hand on my arm. "Walt," he said gently.

The End of the Mystery. With one of the conapirators lying in the undertaking shop of Mlllervalo and the other safe behind the prison bars in Ardway, .the docu­ mentary evidence against him in our possession reinforced by his full con­ fession signed and witnessed, Inspec­ tor Dwvis and I that same afternoon hastened back to New York, where, ft can be imagined, I lost no time in reaching the Farrlsh home. As we waited for the train I had telephoned Louise and she waa ex­ pecting me. She met me in the lower halt One glance at my radiant face told her that our mission bad been successful and she flung herself Into my arms Trhile I rained happy kieses on her lips, her cheeks, her glorious hair. But thoughtful ever of others, even in such a moment of ecstasy, she gently unclasped my arms and whispered: “The papers—did you get them?" A little cry of jox came from her lips as I handed her the envelope. “Come," she cried jubilantly, "let’s take it to Katharine at once! The sight of It will do more to euro her than all the doctors In the world." Together we hastened to Kath­ arine's room, where we found her sit­ ting up in bed, much stronger than when I had last seen her, though a nurse waa still In attendance. Hugh Crandall was seated tn a chair beside the bed. The joy I read in the'fanes of Katharine and Crandall as Louise handed her sister the envelope was reward enough for all I had gone through since I had set out to solve the mystery. Frantically Katharine tore open the envelope and inspected three docu­ ments it contained. "They are all here," she exclaimed with a sigh of relief as she passed them to Crandall. "Yes," echoed Crandall happily, "they are all here." “Burn them, Hugh; burn them at once,” she demanded. Crandall, gathering them up _ with __ the envelope in which they had been encased, crossed to tbe grate where a cheerful fire was burning and one by one fed tbe documents to the flames, watching oirefully to see that every fragment was destroyed. That was three months ago. Louise and I are married Dow and Katharine and Hugh are on their honeymoon, too, taking a six months' European trip.

A BARRY COUNTY PRODUCT EARNING RECORD AT LANSING. Represents Hie Native County, as a DenuxTMt Hh* Earned Conaider* ntion from Republican Mem* bees. (From -the Jackson Patriot of March 7, 1911.) Lansing. Mich., March 6.—Mak­ ing good, as a first term legislator, Henry Glasner of Barry county is earning a proud record at Lansing. . While a lifelong democrat and nerving for some time as chairman of the Barry county democratic commit­ tee, he did not break into real poli­ tics until two years ago, when he came within ninety votes of defeat­ ing Hon. W. H. Schantz for his third term, and this prompted an ambition to learn something of legislative mat­ ters. bo he settled Into the harness and won out, giving credit however to the electorate of his district, toward whom he is very grateful. Mr. Glasner Is highly esteemed by all the legislators, who treat his measures with respect and give close attention when, be talks. The bills fathered by him show careful thought and the members act upon them speedily, so he is up in the front rank with advanced measures, be­ cause his acts appear to the mem­ bers as straight business propositions and make for clean politics. With this situation Glasner ex­ presses the best of feeling toward the republican members In the fair treatment rendered him and the sup­ port given to his efforts in bringing about economy by reduction of sal­ aries to a business basis and cutting, down state expenses. With earnest­ nest he says: “I believe In clean politics, progressive democratic prin­ ciples, and am here, as a legislator. to do good and to work for the best interests of the whole state." I am the Democratic nominee for Judge of Probate. Am 43 years old, have always lived In Barry county. I think I am qualified and adapted for Probate Judge. Your support will be appreciated.

BROWN, Pharmacist DRUGS WALL PAPER BOOKS WASTE® MONEY Brother and Sister Meet After Long Separation. Miss Carrie Caley of .this, village has been a happy girl the past week in entertaining a brother whom she has not seen since they were both little children. When Carrie was three years old her mother died, at their home north of here, leaving two children, the other being a son one year old. Carrie was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Caley, with whom she has since made her home. The boy, whose name is Glenn, was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lemmon of Sunfield. Carrie knew she had a brother living, but has never known where he was, al­ though she has several times tried to get trace of him in vain. Mr. Lemmon’s people never told the boy that he had a sister living, and in­ deed he always supposed that he was an own son of the Lemmons, until recently, when Mr; Lemmon told him of his adoption into the family and told him he had a sister living and where she might be found. Satur­ day Mr. Lemmon drove his automo­ bile over to Nashville, bringing the adopted son along with him, and the brother and sister were united in a touching and happy reunion. Mr Lemmon returned to Sunfield the same day, but the boy remained here for a week’s visit with his new-found sister.. Glenn, who has finished school, Is now employed as a bookkeeper in the plant of the National Coil Co., at Lansing, and is making good, as is his sister in her chosen profession, that of teaching.

Uncle Sam wants five hundred men to take up homes on the irrigation projects he has been building in the West. More than 800,000 acres are receiving water from the Government ditches, and late reports from the field indlcate-that bumper crops have rewarded the farmer in practically all sections of the irrigated West. Toe crop yield on the projects of the Reclamation Service are truly re­ markable in view of the fact that much of the land In practically new and many of the farmers were unfa­ miliar with irrigation methods un­ til they acquired those farms. A surprising feature that impress­ es visitors to these lands is the mod­ ern conditions that already surround the settler on 'many of the projects. Rural telephones, centralized grader! schools, good transportation facul­ ties, and towns at short Intervals are some of the things that rob life on these new lands of many of the trials of pioneering. The available lands are all in the Northwest, mainly In Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. This is the best season of the year to make a personal inspection of the farms, and different railroads offer low round trip rates Uf various sec­ tions. Residence does not have to be established for six months after filing, and the act of June 6, 1913, reduces the required residence from five to three years. Payments for water right are divided into ten an­ nual installments, and if necessary five months leave of absence each year Is permitted, so that It is prac­ tical for a man with from $1,000 to 12,000 capital to acquire one of these desirable farms and make it pay. Booklets and information will be fur­ nished on request by the Statistician of the Reclamation Service at Wash­ ington, D. C. ■ TAKES EXCITING RIDE. Nashville’s Youngest Horsewoman Frightens South Side Residents into Sptsnu. Queenie, little seven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Wesley Moore, had the residents of the south side all up In the air the other day by an escapade which ended happily, but which might easily have resulted In serious mishap. Queenie wanted her dad to trade her organ for a piano, but her father told her she would better wait until she had learned to play the organ, and by that time her yearling colt would be big enough to hitch up and drive and she could trade the colt for the piano she so greatly desired. The little one evidently made up her mind that the colt was old enough now to drive, sc. she slipped away from the house, and without assistance got a harness on the colt and hitched him to a cart and climbed in. The colt, which had never been hitched up before and of course knew no more about hauling a cart than Queenie did about driving, at once started "cross lots” for a trip arouud the faouth side, making his way at random among the streets, alleys and back yards, with halt the women in that part of town screaming after him, until the cart finally tipped and spilled the midget driver out and went on. The little girl was picked up and found to be entirely uninjured, while the colt was eventually captured and re­ turned home no worse for his first trip with a green driver, the only damage being the bad scare received by those who witnessed the incident. Queenie has decided, however, to let some one else break the colt when the proper time comes, and is now de­ voting her attention to the organ. ASSYRIA FARMERS CLUB.

Fred Baker had his hearing at Hastings Saturday morning on the charge of embezzlement and was bound over to circuit court, his bonds being raised to 1800. He has not yet succeeded in securing bondsmen and is boarding with Sheriff Ritchie in default of bail. His trial will probably come off at the next term of court. In the incan time he Is mak­ ing strenuous efforts to effect a set­ tlement, but the outlook is rather unfavorable and it is likely that he will be compelled to stand trial. RECEIVE CONFEDERATE MONEY. Jefferds Post, G. A. R., received Monday from the United States gov­ ernment a number of confederate notes of five, ten and twenty dollar denominations. The government ac­ cumulated a large quantity of these bills at the close of the Civil war, and. though valueless, they have been carefully preserved. Now It has been decided to distribute the money among the G. A. R. Posts throughout the country. The allotment received by the local Post, when suitably framed, will be presented to the Nash­ ville public schools. The school Is already indebted to the veterans for a number of mementos of the war, and this last gift will undoubtedly prove a novelty to the children, many of whom have never seen any of the currency used In the South during the years of secession. Ivy lodge, K. of P., is planning on sending a large delegation to Grand Rapids on November 11, at which time a district Pythian meeting will be held and a large class of candi­ dates from all over Western Michi­ gan will be Initiated into the myster­ ies of the rank of Page. The class will be known as the "Rathbone Bi­ ble Class,” because the historic bi­ ble belonging to Justus H. Rathbone, founder of the order, will be used in conferring the rank. Ivy lodge plans on taking a class of ten candidates for initiation. W. H. Reynolds has said his pho­ tograph gallery to 8. D. Joy at Hast­ ings, to give possession November 1.

N. W. SPENCER, Auctioneer �Michigan Central w SCHOOL NOTES. Correspondents for the week: lal= TIME CARD = lle Brumm and Ray Noban. The question has been asked. "Why NAWHVILLE - MICHIGAN have the school notes not ap­ peared before during thia’ school GOING EAST GOING WEST. year?" This ia bceanse the previous 5.-00 aside from what is called the regu­ 7:55 lar school work, devoted to the form­ ing of various organizations which 3:51 are, in reality, necessary in high BdM school. A fire drill has been orga­ nized, which is entirely under the management of the student body, the teachers having no asigned positions. The best record in clearing the en­ tire building-this year was one and three-fourths minutes. This condi­ tion promises a better record for the present year than last year, consid-. ering the tact that not only are many of the officers new but that there are many more members both in the high school and In the grades than there were last year. People not used to fire drills of course will at first make some confusion. Consid­ erable time has also been taken up in arranging a class schedule. This difficulty is caused.by a lack of unity among the members of a class. We believe that by doing our best we may all succeed in accomplishing the ClttnHneu, a hobby year's work in the given time and thus avoid all difficulty in the form­ apociatty. ing of a class schedule. Let us, fel­ aivk us a rmal low students, try to make this the most successful year in the history of the Nashville schools. The course of study has been made more practical by the introduction of courses in sewing and drawing, which take place Wednesday and Thurs­ day of every week. A course In man­ ual training has also been added for the benefit of the boys. It has been the custom In the Nash­ ville high school, for the past several years, to present to the people of Nashville and vicinity a series of lit­ eraries, at which the works of the students are presented. In the past these literaries have been well at­ tended and we wish to thank every­ one for their interest in the school work. No definate plans have as yet been made for the literaries of the present year, but we hope In the near ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. future to make preparations for the ■ State of Michigan.

Monday. October 14, Prof. Hatch gave a very interesting and Instruc­ tive talk on "Essay Preparation.’' Chapel exercises were conducted by Dr. Wllsoh last Monday morning. His talk was mainly abput the ac­ ceptance of the Bible in public schools; stating that there are twelve states in the union where it is unlaw­ ful to have a Bible in the schools. Are the foot ball boys alive yet? Mostly. They have won two games and expect to win more. Bellevue and Charlotte have been the victims, going down to the scores of 26 and 12, respectively.* The first game oc­ curred October 9 at Charlotte. Both contests were exciting, but the team hopes and expects to show far more speed In the games to come. Their next battle will be pulled off with the fast Eaton Rapids team, October 23, at Eaton Rapids. Of course this gives the Nashville fans a poor chance jo see them in action, but be cool, they'll have a game here sometime, and then they say they will need your loyal support. Until that time it must be good-bye to the Nashville foot ball team. They are treading foreign grounds, but with the scouts the carry, it is not likely that they will lose any of their scalps. Hop­ ing to se£ you again soon. We remain, Football Team. Fear of Diseases In False Hair. Cleveland's health officer Is said to claim that the false hair worn by wom­ en is more insanitary and dangerous than most things which the modern woman deplores as insanitary. In some states they are gathering data to show the number of contagious dis­ eases which can be traced directly to false hair.—National Food Magazine. Make Bathing Form of Worship. Our American bathing resorts pale Into Insignificance beside those of In­ dia—though to the Hindoo bathing is a religious duty as well as a personal luxury.

Would a Change Benefit You? Do YOU want a change in the admin­ istration of our National Government? This is a PERSONAL QUESTION directed to you. While your vote affects the welfare of every man, woman and child in this land, yet the question for you to decide is, what is best for YOU? Did you ever stop to think that if every voter in the United States selfishly cast his vote for the men and things which would bring him the greatest PERSONAL PROFIT, that the NET RESULT would be of greatest benefit to the MA­ JORITY? This is true, isn’t it? Then the thing for you to do right now is to sit down and figure out just what is the most profitable thing for YOU. Then you will have decided, indirectly, what i& most profitable for the nation. You live in Michigan. For the past four years you have faced conditions which are cither conducive to your PROSPER­ ITY and HAPPINESS or you have been confronted by conditions that beckon HARDSHIP and DISAPPOINT­ MENT. President TAFT has for over three years guided the ship of state over a course and according to charts accepted by Republicans as most likely to land the PEOPLE safely into the harbor of peace, contentment, material happiness and pros­ perity. Has Mr. TAFT been a true PILOT? Are YOU ready to mutiny? Will YOU be deceived by the flickering light of a FALSE BEACON? Hours of labor? The average number of hours’ work ex acted from each employe in 1894 was 10.9 In 1911 it was reduced to 9.9. Although the day’s work is one hour LESS, the day’s wage is nearly ONE DOLLAR MORE. And the total amount paid in wages in Michigan in 1911 was nearly SEVEN MILLION DOL­ LARS IN EXCESS of the total amount paid to labor in 1894. But the FARMER, you may say. how has HE been benefited? The price of wheat in 1894 was 53 cents; NOW it is $1.06. Corn WAS 36 cents while PRESENT quotations are 66 cents per bushel Oats, barley, rye, hay, butter, cheese, eggs, and milk have nearly doubled in value. Horses, cattle, sheep and swine have greatly increased—nearly doubled—in value. And conditions throughout the entire country compare with those of Michigan. The amount of money in circulation has increased approximately $3 for every manl woman and child in the United States dur­ ing the Taft administration. The total bank clearings increased from $138,823,000,000 during Roosevelt’s ad­ ministration to $153,369,000,000 under Taft rule. The total amount deposited in banks under three years of Roosevelt was $11.. . 667,000,000. During three years of Taft’s occupancy of the White House they amounted to $14,531,000,000. Would you change? The postoffice receipts during the Roose­ velt • administration was $162,000,000 and they jumped to $214,000,000 during the three years following the ascendency of Mr. Taft to the presidential chair.

Investigate conditions in Michigan. Com­ pare the state's welfare now with its posi­ tion in 1894 under Democratic rule. In 1894 there were 2,325 factories in the state, employing 68.591 males and 11,­ 787 females. Now there are 9,456 fac­ tories in operation, employing ’303,524 males and 52,777 females. This is a total of OVER A QUAR­ TER MILLION MORE people actually employed in Michigan now than in 1894. Wages? Do you know that those employes re­ ceived an average of $2.23 per day in 1911? And do you know that the aver­ age daily wagewas $1.28 in the dark days of 1894? Do YOU want a change? ask yourself the question as to whether or not it would throw YOU out of a job. You are enjoying prosperity NOW. Do YOU want a change? Are you a fanner? You are getting higher prices than ever before for your farm products. Fewer of you are working to raise a mortgage from the homestead. Some of you have just pulled off that “plaster” the Democrats placed on the home—the shelter of your wife and chil­ dren. The wise man votes for what is best for HIMSELF and those he holds dear to him. Do YOU want a change? A vote for William Howard Taft is a bid for further prosperity and material wel­ fare.

"What?" he shouted, above the pub sating roar of the eleven racing ma­ chines lined up before tbe judges* stand. "What?" There was a flurry around the cen­ tral car, whose driver leaned from his seat to stare down at the man who had slipped from beside him to the ground. The great crowd congesting the grand stand pressed closer to the barrier, staring also, commenting and conjecturing. "The mechanician of the Mercury is off his car!" “Fainted—" . -•• i-i:-. i .

Tbe referee was already pushing his way back, bringing the report from the hastily summoned surgeon. “Heart disease," he announced right and left "Stanton’s mechanician just dropped off his seat, dead. But Stanton himself had already swung out of his car, with the ener­ getic decision that marked his every movement “My man Is out" he tersely- stated to the starter. "I've got to run over to my camp and get another. Will you hold the start for me?" The question was rather a demand than a request There was scarcely one among the vast audience who would not have felt the sparkle gone from thii. strong black wine of sport they had come to sip, if Ralph Stanton had been withdrawn from the twentyfour-hour contest He had not only fame as a skilful and scientific racer; be had tbe reputation of being the most spectacularly reckless driver in America, whose death* could be but a question of time and whose record of accidents and victories verged on the appalling. He knew his value as an attraction, and tbe starter knew it although preserving impassivity. "Five minutes," the official con­ ceded, and drew out his watch. Already a stream of men were run­ ning toward the Mercury camp with the news. Stanton sprang into his machine, deftly sent it forward'out of the line, and shot around into tbe en­ trance to the huge oval field edged by the Beach track; a mile of white rib bon bordering a green medallion.

The News is not a partisan paper, but there are just a few words of non-partisan politics we want to say to the voten of this vicinity. Get out and vote. You are not a good citizen unless you do. And when you get Into the booth, take your Hine. There Is no hurry. The bal­ lot is a big one and you should use caution not to make a mistake. Use the pencil with an honest desire In your heart to do what honestly seemfi the best thing to do for the best In­ terests of the county, the state and the nation. Do the thing you honest* ly believe is tho right thing for your­ self, your friends, your neighbors, and your own home and loved ones. The privilege, of the ballot Is a sac­ red thing. Use It sacredly. Don’t mark your ballot until you have de­ cided for yourself, in your own mind, what is the right thing to do. Don’t carry prejudice, enmity or bit­ terness into the booth with you. Vote as your best manhood tells you is right and true and just. Remem­ ber that your ballot has as much to do with the election as that of any other man in the whole country, and db not cast It carelessly. Be true to youreelf when you cast your ballot, and no matter how the election re­ sults, you will feel that you have at least done your duty, as you see It. Take your time. Think it over. You will be alone in the booth with your conscience and your God. Per­ form your most sacred duty as a citizen with these things in mind, and you will have done your best, and that is what your country de­ serves from you. DISCOVERED NEW LUBRICANT. Joe Hurd, one of Nashville's gar­ age men, is an inventive sort of a cuss, and his latest discovery is some­ thing to take the place of the num­ erous high priced cylinder lubri­ cants for automobiles. He has not -quite decided as yet to put it on the market, for it needs experimenting to make it the peer of any other, but time will undoubtedly remedy that. Roy Mead left his Ford at Joe’s place the other day to be over­ hauled, as it did not seem to be work­ ing just right Joe took it out for a trial spin, looked it over, and de­ cided that it was shy of oil, which it sure was. Roy had told him there was oil in a can in the machine, so Joe dug out a gallon tin can and filled up the oil reservoir with the “oil”. Then he took another little spin around, during the course of which the machine went dead, with the cylinders set so solidly that It took a half day’s work to loosen them. There seemed to be plenty of oli in the tank, and Joe couldn’t figure out what the trouble was, un­ til he and Roy got to talking mat­ ters over and finally discovered ‘that Joe had filled the oil tank with a fine grade of maple syrup, which Roy had placed In the tonneau of the machine. Well it was sure some sticky mees. That syrup had burned on the cyl­ inders and pistons until emery wouldn't touch It. and the tank and pipes were sweetly clogged with it. They are gradually eliminating it, however, and hope by the time maple syrup season come again to have the machine in running order, ready for another gallon. THE JONES CONCERT COMPANY.

Miss Aura Monroe entertained a party of her -friend! at her home in the oast part of the village Saturday evening. Covers were laid for ten at a four-course luncheon. The eve­ ning was pleasantly spent.In music and games. You people who like to hear a good speaker, come to the opera house next Monday evening and hear Wm. M. Smith of St. Johns, candi­ date for state senator from the 15th district on the republican ticket. Mr. Smith is justly regarded os one of the best political speakers in the state. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Smith cele­ brated their 35th wedding anniver­ sary at their home on State street Wednesday evening. They had not planned to celebrate, but their children and other relatives had, and the gathering came as a complete sur­ prise to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who have decided that they don’t care how often the events come if they are all as jolly and pleasant as this one was. The Schulze estate, which is be­ ing probated, includes the three pieces of residence property on South Main street. These are all good properties and they are for sale at very reasonable prices. Otto Schulze, administrator of the estate, Is anx­ ious to dispose of them as quickly as possible ’ in order to close up the property matters of the estate. This Is a chance to secure good residence property cheap. See Mr. Schulze, or the Nashville Real Estate Exchange. A jolly surprise was perpetrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mun­ son Monday evening, the victim be­ ing Charles H. Ackett, brother of Mrs. Munson, who was thus remind­ ed of his 55th birthday. Charlie was probably the most surprised man in Michigan when he walked into the house about eight o'clock and found about forty of his friends congregat­ ed there. A dainty four-course luncheon was served, and Mr. Ackett was the recipient of a number of gifts in remembrance of the ocasslon. There's one stove which don't go back on its friends during the hard coal famine, and that’s the Florence, for you cah raid the soft coal bin, your neighbor's wood-pile or his back yard fence for fuel and It will keep you warm and cozy. There’s no oth­ er stove on the market which gives 30 complete all around satisfaction as the Florence. It is always there with the caloric, whatever that is, under any and all circumstances. Pratt. If you want a high-grade ready-towear suit or overcoat, you can find nothing better lu Nashville or any other town in Michigan than the "Col­ legian" brand, which we sell and un­ hesitatingly guarantee in every re­ spect. You absolutely know, when you buy "Collegians”, that yon are getting the best, in every respect, and that the manufacturer and deal­ er will both stand back of them. And the prices are no higher than others ask for vastly inferior cloth­ ing. O. G. Munroe. . Holders of course tickets for the Nashville entertainment course are notified that the reserved seat sale will open at the Nashville club aud­ itorium on Thursday evening, No­ vember 7, at 8 o'clock. Consecutively numbered tickets will be given out at the door, and holders of these tickets will be served In order. No person will be allowed to reserve more than six seats. The charge for reserving is 25 cents for each ticket, which holds the same seats for the entire course. The best dressers in this com­ munity, as in every other community, are those who wear Royal Tailor made-to-measure suits and over­ coats. It is not an expensive fad to be well dressed; it is more in knowing what to buy. A Royal Tailor suit will wear longer and bet­ ter, and give you better service in every way, than anything else you can buy, and when it is old enough to* throw away will still look heat and hold its impression of class. The secret is in having the right materials and knowing how to put them to­ gether. Call and look over the samples. O. G. Munroe. The board of supervisors, at its recent session, through its board of equalization, raised the rate on each assessment district in the county three per cent, with the exception of Hastings City and Castleton town­ ship, where the raise was 2 *4 per cent. This puts Castleton back on the level with other townships in the county in the estimation of Supervis­ or Smith, and vindicate* his conten­ tion of last year that Castleton had been boosted about (50,000 too much. Mr. Smith, who was the sec­ ond member of the committee on equalization, is much pleased with this action of the board. Inasmuch as it was done by the committee and the board without any solicitation on his part, as It indicates that the board feels that Castleton had ajrit more than its share last year and deaired to square matter up. z Mrs. J.E.Bergman asksus as a spe­ cial favor to state that the lovely dec­ orations she has been wearing on her face the past week are not the effects of any domestic disturbance or any­ thing of that sort. The plain facts, so she aaaerts, are that when leaving the house one evening to go down town, after turning out the lights she remembered something she dMdred to lake along with her and went back after It, without turning on the lights, and after eecuring the forgot­ ten article she started for the street and walked squarely against the edge of tbe door, which sbe had left ajar, and which also gave her a jar, reanltlng tn an ngly cut on the foewhead, requiring er veral stitchM to cioee. We are glad to give the facte in the case, in justice to Jap, who has alway^orne a first-clms reputation as a husband and father. �,’tyr3rw& Thursday October 31, 1912 - LOCAL NEWS.

The tariff plank of the Democratic platform of 1892. has been nailed to the platform of 1912.

Chapman of As­ syria township, attempted to commit suicide Saturday mo.alng by taking carbolic acid. Miss Chapman, who is about 38 years of age, has been in poor health for a number of years. Her father and mother are both ill. and it is thought she became des­ pondent over their condition and her own ill health. * She had called Dr. Haight of Bellevue and asked him to come out to their home, which is 2 >4 miles east of Assyria. He was busy at the time, but went out as soon as he could get away, arriving in time to save the life of the young woman, who had taken the poison while he was on his way, and but a short time previous to his arrival at the house. Miss Chapman is a high­ ly respected young lady who has a boot of friends, and they are all glad that her rash attempt to take her own life has proven a failure. The family is one of the well-to-do families of the vicinity and live in a beautiful farm home, with pleasing surroundings. SOITHWEST MM'IKIJ).

Two great principles are at stake. The Republican party believes in continuing the present policy of “Protection,” under which the country has pros­ pered as never before. The Democratic party believes in a “tariff for revenue only’* Up until 1892, under the republican policy of Pro­ tection, good wages, fair prices, prosperity and happiness prevailed in this country. In 1892. for the FIRST TIME since the Civil war, the democratic party elected its pres­ ident and had control of both the United States Senate and Congress. For the FIRST TIME, it was able to abso­ lutely CONTROL legislation. We herewith print the Tariff plank of the democratic party in 1892, and in a parallel columu we give the Tariff plank of the democrat­ ic platform of 1912. We ask you to read them both care­ fully. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. 1B02. "We declare it to be the funda­ mental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal Government haa no constitutional power to im­ pose and collect tariff duties, except for the purpose of revenue only, and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the Government when honestly and economically adminis­ tered." commenced to resume operation, labor was re-employed, and from that day np to the present time good prices, nrnRnpritv iova prevailed. r»rAVnilt»d Ruoinaaa was woa prosperity mid and hanninwia happiness Ihave Business never better, wages never higher, labor never in greater demand; factories are running full time, railroads are crowded with traffic, bank deposits rapidly increasing; everybody is busy and hopeful. present good times and good prices that have prevailed since the republican party was restored to power in 1897 If _ n._i it.. _ , v li any man thinks that the present prosperous conditions can be beat continued through a return to the “Tariff for OnIy’ P°licy> wl“ch was had in 1898-97, it is his DUTY to vote the democratic ticket.

Every voter who passed through the years 1898-1897 will recall the poverty, distress, soup houses and Coxey’s armies. Industry was dead, commerce was at a standstill, and the products of the farm sold for little if any above the coet to produce them. Banks were busted, THREE MILLIONS of men were idle, TEN MILLIONS of children vere hungry. .In the cities were “bread lines" a mile Jong and asap henaes were everywhere. Homes were plastered with mortgagee and co one was making any money. In 1892 there were THIRTEEN MILLIONS of voters in thia country. In 1912 there are over SIXTEEN MILLIONS of voters. This means that 20 PER CENT of the voters THIS YEAR were too young then to recall that 4-YEAR period of distress new. In 1897 the republican party was again placed in complete control of the government and at a special session of Congress enacted the “Dingley Law,” which was baaed on “Protection to American Industry.” Factories at once CHANGE?

Products are dear at any price Products are comparatively cheap Abraham Lincoln made the beet Tariff speech ever recorded w’jen be raid: “Ido not know much about the Tariff, but I know this much: when we buy agricultural and manufactured goods abroad, we get the goods, and the foreigner gets the money: when we buy agricultural and manufactured goods at home, we get both the goods and the money.” If we want similar conditions, wages and prices that prevailed in 1898-97, thesnoceaeof the democratic ticket and the carrying out of the democratic platform will snrely bring them. Like causes produce like effects. There is no mystery about politics. Politics is public business. There is not a man in Barry county, republican or democrat, who does not want a continuation of the SOME THINGS THAT PRESIDENT TAFT HAS DONE President Taft is not a politician. He has not ‘played politics,’ bnt has gone straight ahead, doing his duty as he saw it, and spending no time telling what "he is coinff to do. Here are a few of the things he has done.

He has secured a Parcels Post, and after January 1st packages will be delivered to you by mall at greatly reduced coat This law is of more practical benefit to YOU than 100 promises, and destroys the monopoly of the Express Companies.

Two hours later, Stanton emerged from hls camp and strolled toward the paddock exit. It was after two o'clock in the morning; the dark arch of star-set sky overhead, the black emptiness of the central field except for the line of tents,- contrasted oddly with the glistening white track where the meteor-bright cars circled tireless­ ly to the accompanying monotone of many voices, varied by the occasional wall of the official klaxon. One ma­ chine was out of the race, after going through the fence; a heap of disor­ dered metal which men were striving frantically to restore to activity, while in the illuminated hospital tent its driver and mechanism were undergo­ ing a kindred process of rehabilita­ tion. Other care went in and out from their camps, for oil. Tor gaso­ lene, for tires and minor repairs—for all the countless wants of a racing machine. Stanton looked for the Mer­ cury, then, satisfied, crossed the track and entered the space before the grand-stand. Along the edge of the cement prom­ enade were parked a row of automo­ biles whose owners preferred to wit­ ness the race from tbelr own cars rather than from the tiers of seats be­ hind. Past them Stanton turned, avoiding the fire of attention and curi­ osity be would draw by crossing the lighted space where recognition must follow. He was going to the restau­ rant in the interior of the stand. But as he passed a big white tour­ ing car at the end of the row, a wom­ an leaned from the shadow of the top. “I beg your pardon," sbe sum­ moned, her tone composed and rather Imperious. The apology veiled a • command. Stanton halted. “Madam?" he responded, astonished and scarcely pleased. She deliberately stepped down be­ side him. accompanied by the crisp sound of shaken silk and a drift of faint, rich fragrance. Sbe wore a dark motor-veil, and in the mingling of dense shadows and glaring lights it was not possible to distinguish more than her genera] effect of youth and well-poised grace. “I fancied by your costume that you were one of the racers," she explained. “And as I only arrived an hour ago, I wished to beg some information." “I am one of the men driving," be corroborated. She turned to glance at the cars rushing by, struggling for the lead. “Thank you. Can you tell me whether Ralph Stanton is now driving the Mercury?" “No,” be answered, interested for the first time. “But he wftl take the wheel again in half an hour." “Ah? I have heard so much of hls less, rippling laugh, “I confess I should like to see some of them." “Yes? Well, half the people here come to see whether some of the men won't take a cbr.nce once too often. They say there Is a pleasant thrill in watching some one else get killed.” "Hardly that," she demurred. “Still, if one comes to an automobile race, one wants to see something more ex­ citing than a drive fn the park; some­ thing more exciting than—that” She waved a fragile hand toward the track, shrugging her shoulders with an airy amusement and scorn. Stanton surveyed the scene, the darkness hiding hls expression. “The Mercury is marking time with a substitute driver, the Duplex is off w.'th a choked feed-pipe, and the Stern went through the fence," he summed up. “The others are driving to win by endurance, playing for accidents to the faster care.. It is a dull period, just now. Yet every car there is go­ ing fast enough to face destruction if anything goes wrong.” She turned to him again, and he knew her gaze swept him interroga­ tively, searchingly. But his close­ fitting linen costume offered no means of identification, since be purposely kept from the light the silver let'era running across his jersey. “My father is president of a tire company," she idly remarked. “His cars, the Mercury for one, I believe, and he wanted to wrtch tbelr testing enough to aid me in my Ignorance.” “My name is Stanton,” he complied, and went on. From the shelter of the obscurity be looked back. She had taken a step forward into the light and her veil had slipped aside ss she gazed after him with an expression of acute and eager interest Sho could not have been older than twenty-four or five, with a finely cut, beautiful face framed in waves of fair hair. Floyd was sitting oh a camp-stool outside th© tent, chatting with a group of men, when Stanton returned. The rest had brought back the mech­ anician's color and animation; in fact, be looked ridiculously young and ir­ responsible. But "he sprang up read­ ily at the driver’s nod. “Time?” he asked, his gray eyes like burnished steel. “Yes,” Stanton confirmed. And to the nearest man: “Bring in the car." There was an obedient commotion. Several men ran to flag the other driver; Floyd caught up goggles and cap, and knelt to tighten a legging strap. Ab Stanton made hie own prep­ arations, Mr. Green bustled up to him. “We’re leading," he reminded su­ perfluously. “There isn’t, really, any need for extra fast work, Stanton." Stanton snapped a buckle, saying nothing. “I telephoned to the office and told Rupert ho needn’t come. I told him that you had a new man." “Well?" “He said, Toor muL*" The driver straightened to his full height, his firm dark face locking to bronze Inflexibility. “You bad better report hls sympa­ thy to Floyd, whom it's meant for,” he advised hardly. “I’m not Interested If the company doesn’t like the way I drive, let them get some one in my place; but while I do drive the car, I drive, and not Rupert or Floyd, or— any one else. I’ll neither take risks nor shirk them to order.” The assistant manager choked, speechless. He had no way of know­ ing why Stanton flashed a, sullen glance toward tbo row of automobiles before the grand-stand, or who was meant by that “any one else." Mean­ while, he was Intractable, be was in­ subordinate, and be was obstinate— but be was Stanton. The Mercury rolled in, the two men climbed from their seats, and there was a momentary delay for tank fill­ ing. Stanton took hls place, experi­ mentally speeding and retarding hls motor while be waited for the work­ men to finish. “Stop a minute while I fix the car­ buretor," requested Floyd, from be­ side the machine. “It's colder late at night like this. Wait, you’ve dropped your glove." Stanton silenced the engine, Something in the fresh voice, the boyish grace of the slight figure, the ready courtesy of the act, stirred him with a strange sensation and pricking shame at hls own brutality. “Poor mut," a whisper repeated to his inner ear. When Floyd offered the gauntlet, the other dropped a hand upon hls shoul- “Ara you riding with me because Jrou want the money badly enough to chance anything," Stanton demanded harshly, "or because you are willing to trust my driving F’ Taken by surprise, open astonish­ ment crossed the younger man’s face, but bls eyes did not flinch from the ones behind the goggles. *1 think you’re the best driver on the track,** came the steady answer. “And rd rather trust myself to your mistakes, if you want to know. I guess you can steer su-aight enough for both of us.” Stanton's hand relaxed its hold. “Go fix your carburetor. Yes, I can Again the blue-black eyes flashed sneering defiance toward the grand­ stand; for the moment. Miss Car­ lisle's hope of witnessing desperate from realisation. “ But the Mercury had not circled the mile oval four times when the Duplex, its choked feed-pipe cleared at last, burst from the paddock with its mas- was steadily crowding the Duplex toward the paddock fence. Nor could the Duplex defend itself from the ma­ neuver which must ultimately force it to fall behind at one of the turns or accept destruction by collision. The machines were so close that a swerve on the part of either, the blow-out of a tire or a catch in the ruts cut in the track at certain points, meant un­ gentle death. Mercilessly, gradually, Stanton 'pressed his perilous advan­ tage. And at the crucial moment he beard a low, exultant laugh. “Cut him doser!" urged hls mech­ anician's eager, excited accents at his ear. “Well get him on this turn— he’s weakenin'— Cnt him dose!" Tne comrade triumph came to Stan­ ton as an unaccustomed cordial. They were passing the grand-stand, just ahead lay the worst curve. It was partly reputation which won. For Mr. Stanton, the Boy Insisted. If the Duplex had held flrm, the Mer­ cury must in self-preservation have yielded room. But the driver knew Stanton, guessed him capable of vrrecking both by obstinate persist­ ence in attack, and dared not meet the issue. There came the gun-like reports of a shut-off motor, the Du­ plex slackened its furious pace, and Stanton hurtled past him on the turp itself, lurching across the ruts, and led the way down- the track. The witnesses in stands and pad­ dock went frantic. Floyd pumped oil. Stanton snatched a glance at the min­ iature watch strapped on hls wrist, over his glove, and slightly reduced speed.

The number of laps steadily grew on the bulletin register. A faint, dull light overspread the sky. the fore­ runner of the early summer dawn. At four o'clock the Mercury unexpected­ ly blew out a tire, reeling across to the fence line from the shock and the jar of sharply applied brakes. Stanton said something, and sent hls car limp­ ing cautiously around to the camp where its repairers stood ready. Floyd slid out of hls hard, narrow seat rather'stiffly. The cold grayness was bright enough now to show the streaks of grimy Just and oil wher­ ever the masks had failed to protect the men's faces, and the effects of fa­ tigue and strain of watching. Stanton looked for the inevitable pitcher of water, but found himself confronted instead with a grinning, admiringly awed messenger boy who held out a cluster of heavy purplfc flowers. “What?” marveled the disgusted driver. “What idiotic trick—” “For'Mr. Stanton, sir," deferential­ ly insisted the boy; who would have addressed tbc president as “bo," and gibed at the czar. Stanton caught the blossoms rougiv ly, anticipating a practical joke from some fun-loving fellow-competitor, and saw a white card dangling by a bit of ribbon. “Thank you.” he read in careless penciling. “I have no laurel wreaths here, so send the victor of the hour my corsage bouquet." She had had the imprudence, or the cool disregard of comment, to use one of her own cards. Valerie Atherton Carlisle, the name was engraved across the heavy pasteboard. She had thought that wild duel with the Duplex was an exhibition given for her. that at her wanton whim he had jeopardized four lives, one hls own. With a strong exclamation of con­ tempt Stanton moved to fling the flow­ ers aside to the path before the Mer­ cury’s wheels, then checked himself, remembering appearances.

The Republican candidate for the position of register of deeds, Earl B. Townsend of Nashville, is a man particularly well qualified for the place. He is a splendid bookpeeper, a good penman, a man who Is ex­ ceedingly careful and cautious in all hls transactions, and a man who can be depended upon In every way. He has been for many years In business for himself In Nashville, first as a grocery merchant and later in the el­ evator business, has been successful and Is known as a man of the right qualities to eminently fit him for the position to which he aspires. He is a man of family, is a member of several fraternal societies, Is a live, wide-awake business man, and if elected will administer the affairs of the office of register of deeds in such a manner as to meet the approval of all the people of the country irrespective of party. A vote for Earl B. Townsend for register of deeds means a vote for accurate and painstaking care In the keeping ot the records of the county’s jnost im­ portant material possession, and for a man who Is In every way well fit­ ted for the place, for which he asks your support. FOR THE COUNTY’S BEST INTER­ ESTS. Vote to Retain the Valuable Services of Judge diaries M. Mack as Judge of Probate. There are places where politics and partisanship should not be al­ lowed a place, and one of them is in the choosing of a man to fill the im­ portant office of Judge of Probate. This office, which has to do with the material welfare of the widows and orphans of the county, should be filled by the best man In the county —the one' most admirably fitted by nature and training to see that every Interested party receives that to which he is justly and legally entitled: to watch over and guard the interests of those who otherwise become the victims of lust and greed. Barry county has been very fortunate in the years past in having men to fill this place who filled it as is should be filled. Men ot experience, men of high character, men of good judg­ ment, men of sympathetic nature, to whom the rights of the widowed and fatherless were the most sacred thing on earth. No man. in all those who have filled the office in past years, possessed these qualities to a high­ er extent than does Judge Charles M. Mack, who Is candidate for re-elec­ tion. Few men, if any.- are better known in Barry county, and every person w:.o knows him is hls friend, believes In him and relies implicitly on his personal integrity and his judgment. The office of Judgj. of I rebate is no place for experiments or for the working nut of the vag­ aries of a dreamer. It should be filled, as ft now is, by a man clear­ headed, far-seeing, practical, relia­ ble in every way. Barry county is indeed fortunate in having the op­ portunity to retain the most valua­ ble and efficient services of Judge Charles M. Mack as judge of the probate court. Whatever else you do, see to It on election day that your vote for judge of probate is in keeping with what you know Is the best for the future welfare of the widowed and fatherless of the good old county of Barry. I am a candidate on the Republican ticket for the office of county treas­ urer for a second term. If re-elect­ ed, I shall continue to conduct the affairs of this office in the interest of all the people of the county to the best of my ability, as I have during this, my first term. The books and records of this office belong to the tax-payers of the county and you are welcome, as you have a right to be, and we will give all the assistance in our power to examine them at any time, therefore, if there Is any thing wrong and you don’t know it it is your own fault.

Vote for HOMER MARSHALL, nominee for sheriff on the Republi­ can ticket. HON. EDWARD L. HAMILTON. Faithful Representative. There probably has never been a national election—at least since the Civil war—in which party lines have been broken as they will be on No­ vember 5. This applies mainly to the presidential candidates, but to some extent to others. Voters in recent years have become more and more Inclined to disregard party affiliations and to be governed by the qualifications of candidates and by scutiny of measures. By this or any other rule of selec­ tion, the STAR believes that no can­ didate for any office can better com­ mand public approval than Hon. E. L. Hamilton, Republican candidate for congress from this district. Without reference to the special reasons which should commend Mr. Hamilton to the people of Niles, there is every reason why the people of the district at large, who are looking for public servants of high character, ability and experience, should support him. Mr. Hamilton’s record has been made. It can be - found and exam­ ined by all who care to know what it is. His speeches can be read and hls votes scrutiuized. No party can safely claim a monop­ oly of progressive sentiment. It probably predominates in both old parties. It has been of steady growth for many years, and Mr. Hamilton has kept pace with IL He perhaps may not be radical enough to suit some people; he doubtless is not con­ servative enough to suit others, but hls speeches and votes are ample evidence that he has pursued a steady, straightforward, sane, pro­ gressive course on public questions —a course that will lead sooner to permanent good than any ultra-con­ servative or ultra-radical program. Mr. Hamilton is a life-long Repub­ lican and a life-long protectionist, and naturally upon the tariff ques­ GOOD MAN FOR THE. PLACE. Charles A. Woodruff, llemocratic Candidate for County Clerk. The office of county clerk is one of the important offices of the county, and should be filled by a man of abil­ ity. Such a man is Charles A. Wood­ ruff, the candidate on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Woodruff hails from Rut­ land, which township he has repre­ sented on the board of supervisors for the past four years, to the emi­ nent satisfaction ot the taxpayers of hls township, who return him year after year by Increased majorities. During hls service on the board he has been one of the workers, having places on important committees and performing his duties thereon to the satisfaction of everybody. He is a genial, square, level-headed young farmer, who has made a success of his undertakings, and who will, if elected, fill the important office of county clerk with intelligence and in­ tegrity. He has had but little op- spring up and reach maturity in a night. The STAR disagrees with that view and believes that, in no science or occupation is training and experience of higher value than in public affairs. We prefer to keep a representative whose faithfulness and ability have been demonstrated, rather than to experiment with un­ known and untried material.—Niles tion hls Democratic friends will dis­ agree with him: but he voted consis­ tently for the downward revision of the tariff which the rank and file of hls own party wanted. He was alone in the delegation in his vote for free lumber. He voted for free hides, which was more than the Western insugents did. He voted for a reduc­ tion of duty on shoes, manufactures of steel and other products, and he was one of those who served success­ ful notice that he would not support the proposed revision unless certain downward changes were made. He split with Mr. Cannon on the tariff policy. Mr. Hamilton spoke and voted for the regulation of railroads and ex­ press companies as common carriers. He favored and supported a reason­ able but effective parcel post. He was a particularly strong opponent of reciprocity with Canada on the ground that the proposed arrangement dis­ criminated unfairly against agricult­ ural interests, and upon that issue alone Mr. Hamilton deserves the sup­ port of every farmer in the district. This district was the first In the state to have a rural route and the first in the state to have complete rural service. More recently Mr. Hamilton has devoted much time to the encourage­ ment and promotion of the farm ex­ tension work which the Department ot Agriculture has undertaken." We have never been able to find that he has been recreant to the in­ terests of labor, and labor journals have publicly testified to hls abso­ lute fairness. Mr. Hamilton has some enemies. The STAR is glad he has. That is good evidence that he has convict Hons of hie own. He has given every hour at his command to the public service; his private business as a lawyer was long ago abandoned. The bitterest political enemies Mr. Hamilton has ever had have testified to. his high character as a man, and after all that is the strongest quali­ fication any citizen can have in pri­ vate or public life. Some people appear to think that knowledge and training are not need­ ed in the management of the affairs of government—that statesmen From Grand Rapids Herald Sept. 30 Charles A. Weissert of Hastings is the man the Republicans by an over­ whelming vote have elected as their opponent to Henry C. Glasner, the Democrat who held the Barry county seat in the house in the last legisla­ ture. It is a sure bet, too, that Mr. Glasner has this time tackled a Tar­ tar, for Charles A. Weissert is well known to everybody in Barry county as a clean, upright, progressive young man. He is a man who has never sought political office and who has never mingled much in the great American game. As a start' tn hls candidacy, Mr. Weissert can go before the people without a spot or a blemish of any sort upon his character. He is not allied with any clique or interest, and he will go to the legislature for ser­ vice. In his candidacy Grand Rap­ ids people take more than ordinary interest, for Mr. Weissert is wellknown here, and many who have re­ membered his work while a mem­ ber ot the Herald staff some years ago are watching with more than or­ dinary interest the success of hls can­ didacy. Charles A. Weissert was born Au­ gust 22, 1878, in Hastings, where he has always lived. He is the son of one of the first German settlers in Barry Co. At an early age he show­ ed a tendency for writing. With this tendency came also one for stu­ dy and travel. When a high school boy he determined to see the world and to study Its people and its insti­ tutions.

During his ab­ sence he traveled 3000 miles in nine of the European countries, support­ ing himself most of Jhat time with his pen. Michigan papers published large numbers of his travel letters, which were full of interest and show­ ed that it was not merely a pleasure journey he was on, but one of study. He was graduated from Harvard university and determined to enter the consular service, having acquired the mastery of a large number of foreign languages. But when an ap­ pointment wa# in his grasp be de­ termined to continue in the newspa­ per field. For a time he was with the New York Herald, later with the Detroit papers and then with the Grand Rapids Herald. Then he re­ turned to his home town of Hastings, and from that day has interested himself in literary work, writing for magazines and newspapers, and pub­ lishing some highly interesting works of his own. Among these personal works are stories of the pioneer days of his sec­ tion of the state and some valuable works relative to the Indians of the southwest, among whom he spent a considerable time, as well as among the Indians of old Mexico. As a newspaper man Mr. Weissert showed an independence of spirit and an honesty which made it seem best to him to engage in personal work. He absolutely refused, for instance, to write an editorial contrary to hls own beliefs. If he believed a thing he stood for it. If he did not be­ lieve it he refused to support it. It is with that same spirit of inde­ pendence and honesty that he has at last entered the political field. He makes no promises, except to serve the people as they demand. Hls cam­ paign card reads: “He will, if elected, serve the people as faithfully and honestly as he would serve any em­ ployer. He believes that a represen­ tative should represent in all legisla­ tion the wishes of the people in whose employ he is. If they want some one who will do this, be stands ready to serve them.” He believes strongly in the rule of the people and stands for legislation that will keep in^the hands of the people the control of government. He Is a Mason and is vice president of the Barry County Pioneer Associa­ tion. He is making an active cam­ paign and his friends in Grand Rap­ ids are looking forward to hls elec­ tion, for they know he will make good In the legislature, as he has in every other undertaking he has ever entered.—Pol. adv.

The Republican part?, bad­ ly disrupted-by a split arising at the Chicago convention, has been taught the folly of letting men Instead of measures rule, and goes down to de­ feat. Indications are that the Dem­ ocrats will have absolute control of both bouses of congress, so that they will, have the praise or the blame for the conduct of affairs for the immediate future. Returns are so slow in coming in from all parts of the country-that It is impossible to give definite figures, on the elec­ toral vote or on the senate and house of representatives. There seems to be but little doubt that Roosevelt has carried the state of Michigan, but the Democrats have elected Ferris for governor and in all probability the entire state ticket with him. Latest advices make it ap­ pear likely that Congressman. E. L. Hamilton has been defeated'by Al­ bert E. Beebe, the Democratic can­ didate, although complete returns may change the result. Wm. M. Smith of St. Johns is thought to have won the senatorship in the fifteenth district, comprised of the counties of Barry, Eaton and Clinton. The result in Barry county has been very amicably divided up be­ tween the Republicans and Demo­ crats, the former winning judge of probate, clerk, treasurer, and regis­ ter of deeds, the Democrats taking for their share representative in the state legislature, sheriff, and prose­ cuting attorney. Th® lower offices are still in doubt, but are thought to have been mostly garnered by the Republicans. Nashville is excep­ tionally lucky, both of her candidates on the county ticket, Glasner for representative and Townsend for register of deeds, being among the winners. Complete returns from the county are not available at the time The News goes to press, but fig­ ures from about twenty precincts and reports from the others indlcate that there will be no change In the results as here given. Roose­ velt carries the county on figures so far returned, his figures being 1684, Wilson 1611 and Taft 1371. Ferris carries the county for governor, hav­ ing 1662, Musselman 1354 and Wat­ kins 968.

It is planned upon hygienic, scientific principles that are practical and effective. By the use of the attached reducing appliances, the superfluous flesh is gently but firmly moulded so as to reduce abdomen, hips and back as the wearer may desire. The reductions are made by grad­ ually adjusting the reducing appliances while the conet is on the figure. This allowes the wearer to make reductions comfortably and easily, and is the only hygienic method of modifying the figure. The reducing appliances are instantly released when reversed. five inches can be comfortably made with the Henderson Reducing Corset. Besides this, this corset will give lasting and satisfactory service. It is specially constructed and reinforced to hold its shapeliness; guaranteed non-rustable; made of extry quality Coutil ;artistically trimmed.

He was study­ ing the other curiously, striving to analyze his singular attractiveness and to find the reason why he, Stan­ ton, should feel pleasure at the pros­ pect of having this companion at his side; he, who had never formed friend­ ships as most men did. Floyd laughed, his grey eyes mis­ chievous. "Well, I know. We’ve been working all the week at the machine, and we’ve got her ticking like a watch. You don't bother about that—I suppose you don't have to, It’s up to us. But If you will take her out on the track to­ morrow, .Ill tune her up to the last notch.” Suddenly Stanton put his finger on the thing he sought, one thing that made this mechanician different; and voiced his thought before considering wisdom. "You're a different class, Floyd,” he stated abruptly. "You're no workman, nor descendant of workmen.” Floyd stared, startled at the brush irrelevance, then melted into a straight, direct smile as be met the keen gaze. "Neither are you,” he countered. "Nor It wouldn’t be of any importance if we were, but we are noL I'm not asking yon why you are working with your bands instead of your head, and I suppose you are not asking me.

"I’ll come.” The pact was made. In after time, Stanton came to wonder at its bald simplicity. The assistant manager overtook Floyd, a little later, when that young mechanician, at least superficially cleaner and wrapped in a long dust­ coat, was leaving the training camp "See here, Floyd; you are going to race with Stanton right along, he Mr. Green agitated his foreboding bead. "You won't get along with him," he asserted darkly. “No one does. He, he is—you'll see. But you won’t leave us on the edge of a race, will you?

I would not leave any one without notice, of course.” "Plenty of notice, Floyd. For you can’t stand Stanton." f Stanton at that moment was in his tent, contemplating with cynical spec­ ulation a florist's box of fragrant green leaves lying on a chair. There sprays of laurel. In fancy he saw the message that had accompanied the orchids, the delicately engraved let­ ters: Valerie Atherton Carlisle. Did she take him for a matinee idol, be scoffed; ar, what did she want? Some­ thing, she wanted something of him. What? Only amusement, probably. He had not grown to manhood in New York city without learning that men and women in a certain set alleged their extreme wealth as a license, which freed them from the restraint of small conventionalities, and arro­ gantly took such diversion as the mo­ ment offered. And should he play the game to which she Invited him, or decline it? Was it worth while? He was weary to exhaustion, but still he remained gazing at the box of laurel. "You can”, stand Stanton,” Mr. Green was warning Floyd, by way of farewell. And the mechanician was laughing. “Oh, no, you will not,” contradicted the other, searching his pockets for a missing glove.

Her face cleared swiftly, be could have aald It was relief which, shot across ber expression. "Your mechanician? Is It possible? You also are going to Lowell, Mr. Floyd?" "Yes, since my next work is there,” Floyd replied, unsmiling and laconic. It was evident he and Miss Carlisle disliked each other at sight. She turned from him Indifferently. "Mr. Stanjon, I am going to make you a selfish invitation. Our place Is about seventy-five miles from New York; will you not try our new motor car and give me the honor of being driven there by you? You could go on to Lowell with us to-morrow morn­ ing, or. If you insisted, finish the jour­ ney by train after dinner." Amazed, Stanton looked at her. Once again he mentally asked himself what she could want of him. “Thank you; I have arranged to take this train,” be declined. “Decidedly V "Decidedly, Miss Carlisle.” She bent ber bead, patting her small tan shoe on the platform. ’ She was even more handsome than his. night glimpse of her had shown, with an ivory-tinted, cultivated beauty whose one defect was coldness. "Of course, I can not urge you," she slowly rejoined. "But stroll back to the depot with me, pray; I had som^ thing to say.” "My train.” he began. "Is my train also, since you will not take me tn the motor-car. We have time enough; I inquired of the cop­ ductor, a moment ago.” Floyd bowed and stepped aboard the train, leaving the two to walk back together, followed by the maid. T wanted to ask you of the race,” Miss Carlisle said, when they were quite at the end of the long platform. The speech remained unfinished. There was a shouted order, the cough of the locomotive mingled with- the ring and jangle of tightening coup­ lings, and the Lowell express pulled out of the shed. Stanton wheeled with an ejaculation, but halted without at­ tempting useless pursuit "How very unfortunate!” murmured Miss Carlisle, putting aside her tan silk veils. “How very stupid of the conductor!" Stanton turned from the departing train to the tranquilly regretful girt his straight dark brows knitting. For the instant be could hava been cer­ tain that she had done this intention­ ally and by a pre-arranged plan. But at once reason reclaimed him; he re­ called ber breeding, her father’s high position and wealth, her composed worldliness, and ridiculed himself. “Since I have made you miss your train, and missed my own, I can only repeat my former suggestion," she added, as he did not speak. "Why should you not come with my father and me in our car? It is only a three or four hour trip, and you will be so much nearer Lowell, at least. I am sorry our chauffeur is Hl, so I am forped to ask you to drive. Of course. If you fear tiring yourself for a race day after tomorrow—” Stanton started to speak, then ab­ ruptly shrugged his shoulders. After "Thank you,” he returned, scarcely think a seventy-five mile run will Incapacitate me." “You will come?” Her amber eyes gleamed vividly. "You are loo good. Let us find my father and the car.

"It is fast on the race track—you know that Is it not handsome?" She spoke eagerly, with more ani­ mation than he had yet seen in ber. Stanton ran a careless glance over the big, tan-c'elored automobile standing by the curb. "It is a good car,” he agreed con­ servatively; privately he considered it both too high and too heavy for rac­ ing work. "Only that? You say only that?

Yet she. the imperious demander of tier own way, uttered no remonstrance, although faintly crying out once or twice when they slid by some obvious danger of cliff or road.

The many friends of Ivan Hurlnc were shocked Friday, to hear of bls sudden and untimely death at Kala­ mazoo. Ivan was nineteen years, four months and seven days old at the tlm$ of his death, which occured at the home of his sister, Mrs. Alfred Snuggs on the evening of November 7th. He was born at Nashville July 1, 1893, and was educated In tho pub­ lic schools of this city. He learned the trade of butter-maker, and car­ ried a recommend as the second best butter-maker Jb the state. In May last, he was injured by machin­ ery. while at his work at Shultz, Mich., which disabled him from do­ ing any more of real hard work. De­ pressed by this, and by other caus­ es, his reason gave way, and in a moment of despondency, he secured a gun and turned it upon himself with suicidal intent. He was taken at once to Burgess hospital, where he died some hours later. His father, Edward Surine, of this vil­ lage, arrived at the hospital a little before his son's death, but Ivan was, by that time, unconscious. Tbs body was brought to Nashville Sat­ urday. The funeral took place at the home of his parents, in the very house in which he was born. There was a very large attendance. The services were conducted by Pastor A. E. Hatch of the Adventist church. Many flow­ ers were brought by friends in this city and many others were sent by friends in Kalamazoo. Interment was at Lakeview cemetery. Ivan was naturally of a happy dis­ position. and the sad act which clos­ ed his life was most unlike him. The nurse at the hospital said that in her experience of eighteen years, a cleaner, purer boy had not been brought to that institution. All the family were present at the funeral except a brother, who wcrks in Chicago, and his oldest sister, Mrs. Sylvia Boulin, of Arizona. UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE. On Monday afternoon the mlnlsters of the various churches met at the Methodist parsonage and made arrangements for the union Thanks­ giving service. Rev. C. F. Smith of the Evangelical church was chosen to give the address and it was decid­ ed to have the meeting at the Bap­ tist church. Owing to the fact that Rev. R. C. Lord of the Methodist church will not be in town at that time, Rev. Carpenter was appointed to represent that church on the pro­ gram; the other churches being rep­ resented by their pastors. The service will be held at 10 o’clock tn the morning. In deciding to return to the morning hours, the purpose and character of the day was taken into consideration and it was felt that the service itself was in­ tended to be the chief feature in the appointment of the day. The following committee was ap­ pointed to have charge of the dis­ tribution of the Thanksgiving of­ ferings: Adventist—Mrs. Mary Clay. Baptist—Mrs. Frank McDerby. Holiness—Mrs. W. E. Hanes. Evangelical—Mrs. C. Titmarsh. Methodist—Mrs. Nelson. servation as is equaled nowhere else in the world.

Many new improvements have been made for the coming show of 1912, including the magnificent new hotel, "The Stock Yards Inn," and many new features have been added to the program, so that together the next event will be by far the greatest and finest of the series. All competent students of the American live stock situation agree that the Industry in this country is now oh the eve of the most prosper­ ous era in its history, and that with the rapid growth of population, the decline of the ranges and the advance of prices for all kinds of live stock, the corn belt farmers have now be­ fore them a grand opportunity for securing good profits from founda­ tion herds and increasing fertility. No competent farmer or stockman can afford to miss the numerous ad­ vantages and- many valuable and practical lessons to be gained during the coming great International Live Stock Show, to be held at Chicago, Nov. 30 to Dec. 7, 1912. Ample accommodations for rooms and board can be secured through the Information Bureau on the grounds. See your railroad agent about spe­ cial rates. NASHVILLE MINISTERIAL ASSO­ CIATION. The pastors of Nashville, at the meeting held at the Methodist par­ sonage last Monday, decided to have a permanent organization and to hold meetings at regular stated times to discuss matters of mutual inter­ est and to consider from time to time things that may be of benefit to the churches and the religous life of the community. Rev. B. O. Shattuck was elected president and Leonard J. Dunne sec­ retary. Meetings will be held on the first and third Mondays in the month. The first meeting comes next Monday and will bo at the Evangelical parsonage. Prof. A. E. Hatch was requested to read a paper. These meetings are open to any preacher in the vicinity and all will be made welcome. NORTH KALAMO GRANGE. North Kalamo Orange No. 1431 will meet Saturday, November 16, at 1:30 p. m. Program.

Second, while we have not lessened the in­ tellectual work, we have added to it the practical, thus endeavoring to make our hands skillful as well as our brains active. There are many arguments for and against girls playing basket bait, but the arguments In favor of this game are strong enough to prove that there are many benefits received from it. Anyone being inside ail day studying and getting no out­ door exercise except a little at noon needs some kind of exerc’se more than walking around or running outof-doors. There is refreshment and an increase of vitality derived from any good game. What girl • la there who does not feel more like studying after practicing an hour or perhaps more in the open? One ar­ gument against this game for girls, is that it is too rough for the modest girl. But when played according to the rules is as refined as any game and certainly doe? not rob the girl of her refinement.

It may end In a war In which the whole continent will be Involved or it may be re­ membered as a week in which diplo­ macy succeeded in solving problems that appeared insoluble to many. The Bulgarian army Is on the point of en­ tering Constantinople, and this will be resented by Russia. At the same time the Turkish capital Is threatened with massacre from within. On the other side of the Balkan peninsula there Is an acute conflict between the aims of Austria-Hungary and Servla, which. If it is not arranged, might start a general. European out­ break. German Influence for Peace. The most hopeful sign at the pres­ ent moment is the fact that moderating influences are being brought to bear by Germany, the close ally of AustriaHungsry, and by Bulgaria, the com­ rade In arms of Servla.

Austrian Proposal to Servla. The Austro-Hungarian minister at Belgrade, who has just returned to bls post Informed the Servian govern­ ment of these proposals, and suggest­ ed that a reasonable settlement would be that Austria In return for corre­ sponding privileges at the Balkan ports and on the railroads leading to them, should give Servla running privileges over the line that Is to be built to the port of DurRuo, and that the two countries should together use Durnzzo as a free port . Jealousies are so intense, however, that It will take a heavy pressure to Induce either Austria or Servla to re­ cede from its demands. Austria takds so seriously the advance of a Servian force toward Durazso that she has sent a steamer there to take off Aus­ trian residents when the Servian troops arrive. Servla's friend. Russia, also is pre­ paring for eventualities. Besides keep­ ing her time-expired men in the army she is mobilising her forces. At Se­ bastopol transports have been prepar­ ed to convey Russian troops across the Black sea and her arsenals and commissary departments are working night and day.

An even spread of manure means an even stand of grain and there is no spreader made that can spread the manure more evenly than the "Fear­ less”. It is out of the question to spread manure evenly by hand. To get the manure on thickly, evenly and quickly, a "Fearless” is necessary. The great feature that makes the "Fearless” such a labor saver, is the circular beater which spreads an even strip of manure 8 L-2 feet wide from a 4 foot box.

YOU WOULD GLADLY PAY MORE FOR THIS UNDERWEAR OBEYING A DESPOTS WHIMS Emperor Paul of Russia Was Violent and Ecosntrtc to the Verge of Insanity. So exceptionally good it is; so fine soft and durable of quality, so well cut and carefully made. You will find our prices for under­ garments of the highest quality less than the or­ dinary price of ordinary goods. . Endless are the stories which are told of Emperor Paul's (1797-1801) violence and eccentricities, writes A. J. C. Hare In “Studies In Russia. One of his fancies was tflat everyone he met, wherever he met them, must get out of their carriages and sledges, stand In the mud or on ths Ice and make him a bow. This was, of course, considered the greatest boro possible. One day there was a poor dancing master who was going to give some lessons, and he had nothing but a pair of very thin pumps on. He was dreadfully afraid of encountering the emperor, for it was the depth of winter, and the ground was covered with snow and Ice; and he thought if he did his feet would certainly be frostbitten. As he went along he saw to his horror that the emperor was coming; there was no way of turn­ ing aside; he must meet him. He de­ termined at once that the only way was to pretend not to see the em­ peror, and to turn the other way. Paul was not to be outwitted. He stopped at once and sent one of his escort to see why the dancing mas­ ter had not obeyed his orders. The poor man pleaded not having seen the emperor, and implbred not to be forced to get out, on account of hie thin shoes. The emperor would not hear of it “Let him walk round and round my aledge," he said, “and see if that will amuse him; and since he is too blind to see me, tell him that Quit Claim Deeds. ■William F.

Institute Should Have a Quieting Effect on Tired Nerves. A club in which the human voice is rarely heard has just been opened in London. As the name, the National Deaf club, would imply, the members are deaf or are deaf mutes. Conver­ sation is carried on by oral or manu­ al signs. Even the solitary waiter­ chef never offers an audible comment on the weather. There are no bells in the club, the assumption being that if they were to ring nobody would notice them. Un­ der the door-plate a button resembling an electric bell-push certainly does ex­ ist, but when pressed there is no re­ sponsive purring in the club “wo floors above the level of the street; instead a red light is automatically switched on, and the member* know that some­ one is at the door. Similarly when the services of the waiter are In­ voked, it is a red light in his sanctum which is the agent Six years ago the National Deaf club was started in a cafe. So rapid has been Its growth that recently larger premises were acquired, and these were opened by the president whose deafness has not prevented him from conducting a very successful bus­ iness. Another remarkable member, wLo is a deaf mute. Is responsible for the railway system of Smyrna, and commands an army of workmen of various nationalities by means of signs. . The club numbers 120 men and 60 women, and. included in its appoint­ ments la's billiard table where disap­ pointed exclamations are never beard. Danger In Crabs. Crabs, no matter how fresh they be make some fellows sick nearly every time they eat them. BtiU they take a chance on it every once in so often just the same. Crabs must be very fine eating and have a lovely taste as they are being munched and put into the paunches of the' crab-eaters. Crabs will eat a dead horse, or rata, pigs, cats or dogs decaying in the ocean. Perhaps if the crabs were penned up and fed on the choicest of foods,for some days, so as to get a few of the dirty germs out of them, as well as rid them of the filth they eat, then in a somewhat cleaner condition they might not, after being eaten, turn the insides wrong side out and inside outward— both ways at the same time.

Mrs. Willets snapped out this de­ claration and went upstairs to bed at her usual early hour. She relented enough to caution the two young boys. Richard and Bert, not into the sitting-room. “Bertha’s going to have a beau,” she informed, "and you can sit in the kitchen and study your lesaons.” They obediently went to the kit­ chen, but did not study. " Who's coming to see Bertha?" asked Bert. "Red Reymond. He's been out west for four years, you know. Been a cowboy and shot Indians.” "Oh, I hope Bertha keeps him for a steady." "She won’t,” replied Richard, who had been .eavesdropping, " because ma won't let her make any pies and cake and stuff for him to eaL” "Huh!” commented Bert. "Taln’t likely he's anything like these farmers around here. Ho won't care for pie and cake.” "Bertha don't seem to keep a fellow long,” lamented Richard. “Ned Price only kept company a month. He says he likes fat girls with red cheeks. Bertha's pale and thin, you know.” "That's not a cowboy's style,” re­ marked Bert, who had taken to draw­ ing books from a circulating library. “They like the delicate kind."

"We’ve got to keep him. He’s too good to lose," said Bert soberly. "Is he coming again tomorrow night, Bertha?” whispered Richard from his bed room as his sister camo upstairs at a late hour. • "Yes,” she answered happily. "It was*’ just lovely of you, boys, to think of the cakes. He's going to bring you each, a present to-morrow.” "It’ll be all right for him,” prophe­ sied Bert "You leave the feeding part to us." The next night the little brothers again ushered themselves Into the Eitting room. "We've got some Adams and Eves on rafts," grinned Richard. "Well, you aro the best chefs I know.” said Red approvingly, "and you bet you’ll get a tip.” He banded them each an Indian bow and arrows. The menu consisted of a big plat­ ter of poached eggs on toast It was Richard's duty to gather eggs and he had hidden a dozen^of the day's find. The coffee Red pronounced to be a dream. "Are you -coming to-morrow night?" asked Bert anxiously. . "If your sister will let me," laugh­ ed Red. The next night the-young cooks In­ vaded a pot of Boston baked beans that was simmering on the stove, but on the occasion of the next call from their sister's beau, the boys were at a loss for something to prepare. "Talk about Old Mother Hubbard’s cupboard." said Bert dejectedly. "There a’int even pancake batter.” "Well, I just took a turn at the provldln’ today," announced Richard. "I spilt some wood for old man Luke* and he paid me with two quarts of cldetL that’s just on the turn. It’s hid out In tho corn crib. And I was down to take Mrs. Dunn her mail and she told me to go to the dough­ nut jar and help myself. I got six." "Bully for you. Rich. Well dip the fried cakes in that dust sugar on the top shelf.” . They all grew hilarious together over the cider. Bertha's color rose as did Red's courage. The next night as sister’s beau came up the lane he was met by Bert. 'Say” said the boy doggedly. "Before you come in there’s som thing I want to tell you.” "All right, my boy. Fire away." "You see there a’int anything to eat to-night, and we’ve run out of coffee, and I thought it only fair to tell you before you came in, so you could turn back if you wanted to. But It ain’t Bertha's fiulL It’s ma that's stingy.” Red stared a moment and then burst Into a hearty laugh. "See here, Bert! You didn't think I came to your house to eat. did you? I came because I love your sister.” "Oh, Gee!" said the boy dancing about excitedly. "The first time I set eyes on her I said, 'There’s the girl for me.’ When I called that first night she was so quiet, I thought she didn't like me. I was clean discouraged till you boys broke the ice with your stack of buckwheats.” "Does Bertha know?” "Well I reckon she does unless she’s a mighty poor guesser, but I am going to ask her plumb out to-night, and I hope m be too happy to eat” (Copyright, M12, by Associated Literary Press) “Well, you can’t stop it can you?"

Don**t you folks want to come out?” " Sure we do,” responded Red promptly, rising from his chair with alacrity and following the boys. Bertha obeyed with some trepida­ tion. "Oh, Lord!” ejaculated Red when he came into the big, warm kitchen and smelled the coffee. “I do believe that's a stack of buckwheats. I used to dream about them when I was down in New Mexico.” Bertha’s spirits rose. The boys had set the table nicely. The coffee smelled promising. There were a pitcher of cream and a jug of syrup on the table. "Sit down," urged Bert. "I'll bake the cakes and Rich will serve you. Pour the coffee, Bertha.” .

The original manuscript of 'Homa, Sweet Home" is said to have been burled in the grave with Miss Harry Harden of Athens, Ga. She was John Howard Paynes sweetheart, but re­ fused to marry him in deference to her father’s wishes. After she was separated from her lover she shut herself Ln the old family mansion, see- You have hurt your arm’. "Slightly. I cranked an Atalknta Six yesterday with my spark ad­ vanced." Tbe mechanician stopped with one foot an tbe car, looking at him. "1 set my spark forward and went around in fronf and cranked up and wrenched my arm;" Stanton explicitly repeated. Floyd regarded him blankly, then slowly dissolved Into a smile o£ hu­ morous comprehension and step;>ed Into the car. “I hsd no right to ask, of course," be agreed. "I beg your pardon. Curious people should expect to hear nonsense." Floyd believed himself put off with an obvious tale, as one reproves a too-lmportunate child, so impossible he considered such carelessness. And Stanton wholly coincided with his judgment. Only, tbe feet remained. The little episode hsd relieved tbe atmosphere, however, and restored naturalness of speech. They shot down the course, in the sweet country air, and the day's work had commenced. Then Stanton had his first exhibition of what Floyd called tuning up his -motor. "Got her all tbe way up?" shouted the mechanlcisn, when they let out on thg first straight stretch. Stanton nodded, fully occupied; the speedometer was Indicating eightyfour miles an hour. "Stop her—she needs fixing.” It was Floyd's hour of empire. Stan­ ton brought his car to a halt in an ap­ propriate situation, and the mechani­ cian sprang out to investigate the un­ hooded power-planL "Now well try. She is good for ninety an hour,” be panted, returning. Stanton accordingly restarted. They spent the morning so; speed­ ing furiously, stopping for Floyd to fuss with one thing or another, watchini the speedometer. Floyd listened to the engine as to a speaking voice, translating its plaint unerringly and going to remedy tbe cause. As tbe as­ sistant managed had Baid, be was a gaholene freak, a clairvoyant magician of delicate touches and manipulation. At twelve o’clock tbe Mercury came to its camp and stopped. "How is she doing?” inquired Mr. Green. "You made that last circuit a record breaker, I can tell you." "Up to ninety-two miles an hour,” Stanton reported with brevity. "It never did so well before. Get out. Floyd." Floyd got out, flushed, tired, his heavy hair clinging tn damp rings to his temples, but sunnily content. Mr. Green contemplated him anxiously; be had heard an account of Sunton's morning greeting to bis mechanician. Stanton descended from bls flung his mask and gauntlets on seat, and followed his mechanician. He found htm, presently, emerging damp and refreshed from ablutions performed in a bucket with the aid of some cotton-waste. "Will you come to lunch with me?*' Stanton asked abruptly. Floyd paused, regarding him in grave surprise and hesitation. Stanton made an impatient gesture, his eyes glinting steel-blue behind their black lashes. "Do you want me to apologize for bullying ?ou this morning?" be demanded. . Over the other’s face swept Its characteristic sudden warning of presalon. "No; I wanted to be sure that you want me. Thanka, I’ll come with pleasure.* He slipped into a long motor coat, and accompanied Stanton with a ready cordiality that took do account of past events. No reproach could have moved tbe offender so much, no in­ jured dignity could have so forced a curb upon his tongue for the future. It was not to one of the temporary eating-places erected In anticipation of the race carnival that Stanton took his guest, but to a quiet, cool hotel within reach. There, the order given, he looked across tbe width of white linen at his companion with an odd sense of triumph and satisfaction; he felt for this boy-man something akin to the elation with which a youth takes the admired girl out to dinner for the first time. “I missed the train, yesterday," he remarked. "I suppose you had DO trouble getting the car here?" "None at all." Floyd confirmed. "I fancied you accepted Miss Carlisle's invitation to drive.” "I did, afterward. It was her car I cranked with the spark forward." Floyd glanced up, a ripple of incred­ ulous amusement crossing his gray eyes, but he said nothing. "At least. 1 set the spark as I be­ lieved right," Stanton amplified, watch­ ing the effect, "and when I cranked, the motor fired over. The person who sat next to me said I left the spark wrong." The incredulity died out of Floyd's gaae, but the wonder Increased. "More likely It was changed after you left It, perhaps by mistake." be suggested. In a flash of recollection Stanton saw Valerie Carlisle's little gloved hand dart toward the steering wheel, just before he pulkd up the crank. Could she have moved the sector, and have corrected her mistake an instant too late? He remained silent, nor did Floyd pursue the question. When the first course of the lunch­ eon was placed before them, Stanton aroused himself. Quite indifferent to tbe waiter's pained disapproval, he took the carafe of ice-water and him­ self filled two glasses. “Is this your substitute for cock­ tails?" he queried, and pushed one of the goblets over to Floyd. Startled, Floyd yet .understood, smiling as he looked across. "Yes," be assented, and drank the innocent pledge. Motorists both, there was no question of a stronger beverage. Stanton turned to tbe waiter. “You can go; IH ring when we want you. Did you ever drive an Atalanta Six-sixty, Floyd?" “No. but I've handled their fours. I like a six cylinder machine, myself; it has so fine a torque—’’ Tbe conversation plunged into pro­ fessional technicalities; the senti­ mental episode was pushed aside People going in and out of the res­ taurant stared Interestedly at tbe two exchanging comments and questions. Stanton's dark face was well-known, and a face not easily forgotten, while his companion's dress sufficiently Identified him as one of the racers who held the city's attention during tbe motor carnival. tbe manufacturing buuneM with him. not for racing myself.

There was a pause. "I wonder,” Stanton muaed slowly, “why you volunteered to act as my j mechanician that night?" Floyd's gray eyes flashed to meet hie,‘all his color and animation rush­ ing back. “Because I love the racing, I love it,” be answered, impulsively frank. "I, I've got my father's blood in my veins and the frail physique of a useless girl —can't you see how they fight? . The very smell of exhaust gas make* my heart jump and pulses tingle. Be­ sides, I had watched you often, I couldn't ‘see you put out of the run­ ning. Then, I was tired of—” be checked himself sharply. “Ought we not to go back on the course?" Stanton rose, signaling the waiter. "You saw me through that difficul­ ty,” he acknowledged. "But, you said this morning feat you had a sister; I wonder you stayed with me for the "My sister understands," Floyd ex­ plained; he had risen also, and stood for a moment beside his chair, his unseeing gaze bent on the ground. “She knows that I was not brought up to live woman-fashion. I wish, if ever you hear anything of me that you do not like, that makes you feel different­ ly toward me, I wish you too would remember that I was reared by a man to live among men and missed all that women teach.” Stanton regarded him In an astonish­ ment at once indulgent and ironic. Tin not likely to hear anything of you that will shock me very badly," he dryly returned. “Do you think I am a gentle girl, myself, Floyd?” "Not so yon could notice it," sprang the prompt opinion; tbe candid gray eyes laughed out of their abort ecHpso. They went back to the course to­ gether. The next two hours were spent In repeatedly circling tbe fen mile, course In ten minutes; a reasonable practice gait, from Stanton’s point of view. On the last trip be "and Floyd disagreed over a question of mixture, and came up to the repair pits quarreling vigor­ ously, exciting tbe interest of all be­ holders. “If I don't know when a motor needs more gas. I’ll go take a correspond­ ence course,” was Floyd’s last retort, as he slipped out of bis seat “It’s running like it never did be­ fore, and you'll let it alone," Stanton rent the definite order after him.

CHAPTER VI. Missed. Tbe most agitated man in Lowell, on tbe race morning, was the assist­ ant manager of tbe Mercury company. And there was a maddening irony in his situation. At a quarter after ten, fifteen minutes before the first car was to start, the Mercury stood ready, with, in his place, the trim, khakl-ciad mechanician, concerning whose pos­ sible desertion Mr. Green had spent much worry. But tbe driver Stanton tbe unfailing, was missing. In ■ the midst of the gay hubbub of the scene, the Mercury catnp was on the verge of frenzy. “You've telephoned to his hotel?" inquired Floyd/ do lens troubled be­ cause quiet, as Mr. Green came up wiping his brows. "Telephoned! I’ve telephoned to every hotel In tbe town, to the police, to—to every one.

Street and No. Mercury flashed across the line, Floyd was almost as pale from anger as Stanton from recent illness. The race was for three hundred miles, thirty times over the ten mile course with its sharp elbows and steep hills, and was expected to -ake some six hours of continuous driving. The strain was not light for the pilot at the wheel. For the first hour there was no in­ cident out of the usual.

His eyes on the machine tn front, Stanton round­ ed the banked curve at a pace which sent the shrieking crowd of spectator* recoiling from tbe danger-line and sprayed yellow soli high into tbe air. As tbe Mercury lurched into the straight stretch beyond, as Floyd was in the act of turning to examine th© rear tires, there came a sharp explo­ sion and a reeling stagger of the car as a rear casing blew out, wrenched ttaelf bodily from the wheel and rolled like a hoop into a field a hundred, yards away. The machine tottered to the edge of the road, stopping under the power­ ful brakes.

ROYAL AKING POWDER AbsolutelyPure Kitty was an ex­ clamation point of admiration. Virginia regarded her younger sis­ ter with the expression of a yearning missionary. "Kitty, I wish you’d de­ vote less thought to mere externals," she said. Undisturbed, Kitty purveyed her sis­ ter, immaculate in unruffled, unrum­ pled, tailored linen. "Of course, Vir­ ginia, you're a distinguished settle­ ment angel and all that, but If you don’t think more about clothes you’ll gradually drop off even the seml-femlnine touches and emerge as Dr. Mary Walker,’’ she declared, severely. "And sis is really a good looker," put in Tom. Virginia, patient disapproval person­ ified, absent-mindedly salted her breakfast food Instead of her egg. "A woman with a sense of he. -responsi­ bilities,’’ she murmured, "realises that life is too short to waste on such a trivial consideration. Uplifting human­ ity—" Tom said "Excuse me!" and fled. "Or the pursuit of some equally se­ rious and worthy purpose should occu­ py her time and thoughts to the exclu­ sion of frivolous, light-headed—” Kitty rose. "Sorry, Jinny. I*d love to listen. Makes me feel like a little demon, but I’m going to don my rav­ ishing pink batiste and loll over to Dorthy’s. Her cousin, fresh from Har­ vard, arrived yesterday, and I think III wake up Bob to tbe treasure he’s won if I chain the welcome stranger to my chariot wheels, first chance.’’ Virginia was truly shocked. “Kit­ ty! Have you so far forgotten the modesty becoming a young woman newly engaged as to race off In actual pursuit of another young man!" Kitty flushed, bit a sharp retort In two and came over to rub her hand lovingly over Virginia’s glossy curls, brushed into unwilling smoothness. "I can't do Dot’s cousin a bit of harm," she said meekly, "because he Isn’t en­ gaged. I wish you'd get through sav­ ing humanity. Jinny, so you could have a good time with me. I've just six more months at home now.” Virginia slipped an arm around her sister. "I only hope I can lead you to a true appreciation of woman’s Ufa and work during those six months, Kitty. Why not begin by coming to the club with me this morning? I have a paper, ’The Influence of Wom­ an in Civic Life.’" Kitty was squinting critically. "I wish I could persuade you to cut off those ugly high collars tn this hot weather. You’ve the prettiest throat ef anyone I know, and you bury It under all that chuffy linen. Collarless blouses are so fashionable, too.” Whizzing along In the Maynard’s touring car that afternoon, Kitty and Dot’s cousin from Harvard were dis­ cussing brunettes versus blondes. "By Jove!” he said enthusiastically, "I saw a splendid brunette on your street this morning. Raving beauty, Italian eyes. Serious as a saint TalL Stately. I'm euro she never giggled. In her life.” Kitty wriggled excitedly. "Awfully plain clothes?" He stammered. ”Um-er. Rather re­ minded me of a nurse's costume. Dot’s promised me an introduction, but that’s as much as I can get out of her. Do you know her?" Kitty laughed appreciatively. "She's my sister and a practical humanita­ rian." "You don’t say!” His face fell. "What’ll I have to go In for to im­ press her? She thinks I’m frightfully rude. I forgot my manners complete­ ly and stared at her.” "Dot’s going to bring you to dinner. tomorrow night,” said Kitty, soothing­ ly. "You’d better read up on social settlements.” The next afternoon Kitty was apply­ ing powder over cold cream in antici­ pation of a round of tennis when Vir­ ginia appeared at her door, a blouse In one hand, a long pink ribbon and * scrap of lace in the other. Her eye* were perplexed and her face was flushed. "Kitty, you know so much about fashion, will you advise me? Do you think some lace at toe throat would add a pleasing feminine touch to this blouse? And Is ahis pink too bright for a belt?” In spite of tbe shock Kitty con­ trived a coherent commonplace. "Very becoming, Jinny. Shall I tie the rib­ bon for you?” Virginia handed It to her with a grateful look. "I wish to be' a credit to the club this afternoon because I’ve been delegated to explain* our settle­ ment system to your friend Dorthy’s cousin, Mr. Rogers.

Von W. Fumiss Play I’rewnted by Nashville' Woman's Club Reproduced at Portland and Seorea Big Success. Many of our readers will remem­ ber wilt pleasure a playlet, “Votes for Men,” which was produced at the opera house last March by the Woman's Literary club. The play was original with Mrs. Henry Glasner, one of the members of the club. Later a copy of the play was sold tq go to Portland. Oregon, where It was recently produced. The following letter, from Mrs. S. L. Hicks, a for­ mer Nashville lady, to tho author of the play, will prove interesting: Portland. November 4, 1912. Mrs. Maude Glasner, Nashville, Mich. Dear Friend:— Feeling sure that you would be glad to know what success we had In giving our play. “Votes for Men", I decided to write you an account of It. In the first place we went to no expense for tickets, or for advertis­ ing with the exception of a small notice in the ’Morning Oregonian,' and It was given on November 1st when the whole city was alive, with political meetings everywhere, and the evening was stormy, so that many that intended td go did not attend. But never the lees we cleared $70.50, with the admission price of 25 cents paid at the door. I never saw any­ thing to equal the applause we re­ ceived from the audience. At times It became necessary for us to wait till they would quiet down before we could go on with our parts. The hall was decorated with a lot of flowers, and the men were so en­ thused that first one then another would jump up and take some of the flowers and bring them to the ladies as they finished their part, and wheu we were thr.ougb each one of us had a bouquet. When we decided to put on the play I proposed to the ladles that we keep It a secret from the men. and we did; not even our own husbands knew what was coming. Friday evening it is to be put on for the benefit of the Presbyterian church, and the following week for the Wo­ man's Relief Corps, we to have a per centage tor our Chapter. And Sat­ urday evening a lady told me that her husband said If we would let him put It on, be would guarantee us a hundred dollars out of IL She said he would advertise it, and sell tickets, but I do not know what they will do about it yet. However, we are very much pleaed with our suc- morning, and the remains were In­ terred In tbe Freemlre cemetery in Sunfield, near the boyhood home of the deceased. The blacksmith and wagon shops of Vermontville were closed during the funeral, and the pallbearers tfere fellow craftsmen of the village. .

We can tell you of several in the list right now which are offered for much less than they are actually worth, When you can buy a good productive farm, well fenced, with good buildings and everything in good shape, for less than $75 per acre, you are not only making a good investment for the future, but are making real, actual, bona fide money as soon as you close the transaction.

Incredible to the witnesses, but as' Floyd had foreseen, the Mer­ cury had not materially Buffered. The big car was righted by fifty hands; Stanton and Floyd—unaided, accord­ ing to racing rules—put on the new tires, and took their seat* amid hearty admiration and good wishes. Twenty minutes after she left the course, tbe Mercury shot down it once more. By tbe time the grand-stand was fully aware that "Stanton had got his again," and tbe ambulance had been hurried clanging to the scene of the possible tragedy, the Mer­ cury whirled-past tbe judges, running more pomet-llke than ever. But Stanton took tbe turns conser­ Brooking to Cure Deafness. . vatively; for him. ‘ Harriet Martineau suffered from The race was lost Even Stanton deafness.

Tbe Mercury came across the line, at tbe finish, just five minutes behind the Atalanta; to receive fully a* great an ovation as the winning car. Tbe spectacular driving, the record of tbe fastest lap and highest speed ever made on that course, the second place won In spite of the accident, almost eclipsed tbe Atalanta’s victory. In the midst of the joyous tumult, Floyd descended, stiff and weary enough after the continuous run of five hours and fifty-eight minutes. But Stanton did not follow; leaning upon his steering-wheel, the focus of snap­ ping cameras, curious crowds, and blended congratulations and sympa­ thy. Only when one of the judges came over to shake bands, was the ex­ planation made evident "If I am to get out some one will have to help me,” announced Stanton impassively, and .unclasped his mask, baring a face gray with exhaustion under Its coating of caked dust And, In fact, it was necessary to aid the cramped, over-taxed driver to dis­ mount from his car; to the wonder of all those familiar with his usual su­ perb endurance. A little later Floyd, some of tbe grime removed, somewhat rested, and Issuing from the ambulsnoe sur­ geon’s care with bls arm bandaged in civilised fashion, felt a touch on bls shoulder. "I’m going no get out of this up­ roar," Stanton briefly Imparted. "Come with me; send for your things and stay at my hotel tonight" Floyd drew back, hesitating oddly. "I’m sorry,’’ he began. Stanton’s straight dark brows con­ tracted. "You mean that you don’t want any­ thing perronal to do with your bruts of a driver? Oh, say so.” The steel-keen eyes sent one direct glance Into the troubled gray ones. "Good-by," pronounced Stanton defi­ nitely. and turned on his heel. "Stanton!” cried Floyd, in distress. The other kept on, unheeding. "Stanton!" Floyd appealed, overtak­ ing him. "Please—I give you my word 1 never meant that. I’ve got to be back at my own hotel, tonight, that was all. I’ll do anything you Stanton slowly halted. "Will you come with me now, to dinner? Sult yourself." "I’d like to," was the humble sur­ render. Like a woman, Floyd yielded to a superior will; like a man, there w>re no small reservations in his yielding. There was a taxicab waiting; to it Stanton led tbe way. The destination was one of the large hotels of tbe city, and neither of the companions were dressed for the public dining-room. In the guest-crowded lobby Stanton paused to order dinner sent to his own apart­ ment, perfectly indifferent to tbe sen­ sation caused by their entranc*. "You are unwell, sir?" th* cl*rk ventured, regarding him wide-eyed. "No." be denied laconically. But he looked far more fatigued than his comparatively frail mechan­ ician, nevertheless. Fatigued, and 111 "You didn’t hurt yourself In our up set, I hope," Floyd said with anxiety when they were alone in the stiff, im personal hotel room. "No. I bad a bad night of It,” Stan­ ton explained. He sat down tn an arm-chair, resting his head against the cushioned back. "Make yourself com­ fortable as you can, Floyd. There is nothing the matter with me—there can’t be, I never was sick a day since I can remember. Probably I need feeding; I’ve oaten nothing since that confounded dinner last evening, and it is nearly six o’clock now.” But, after all, when the food was brought, Stanton could eat none of It; although maintaining a pretense of doing bo, which forbade his com­ panion to comment upon the fact. "Wer* you feeling ill yesterday?" Floyd Inquired, when the last course was removed and they were left to fbemselves. His own bearing was less assured than usual, his gaiety subdued to quietness almost savoring of tim­ idity. "Not until evening, after dinner." The mechanician looked at him, started to speak, checked himself, and at last Impulsively put the Indiscreet question: "Do you mind telling me where you dined r “Of course not." Stanton returned, without a trace of hesitation. “With Mr. Carlisle of tbe tire Company, and his daughter. They are here for the races. He wanted to talk tlri>s to me, Heaven knows why. We didn’t People From All Direction* Hocking get very far; after Miss Carlisle left us I began to feel so sick that I ex­ cused myself and got away to the nearest doctor." , fourth hour he siynaled Floyd to lean Floyd turned hi* head, and caught bls breath in a brirf. quick sigh.

"An’ ant manager had given the account of Blanton’s amazing disappearance.

"She made you miss your train here, you came near breaking your wrist with her cat, and her dinner seems to hgve poisoned you. What did she give you, lobster and Ice­ cream ?” "No—I hardly know. I never care what I eat.” He passed his hand Im­ patiently across hl* forehead, sudden­ ly giddy. Floyd leaned nearer. "Stanton, how did you feel? What? Tell me; I’m not just curious.” “Nausea, violent successive attacks of-seasickness that, left me too weak to stand. I’ve got the headache yet." His voice died out; he had a vague Impression of Floyd starting up and coming toward him. "I had to make the doctor steady me with some drug so I could race,” he resumed abruptly. “I’m brute enough without that in me, Floyd.” “Hush, try to rest,” urged his mech­ anician’s earnest young voice across the mist “I’m tired," he conceded. It seemed to him a long time after* ward that a sensation of exquisite coolness extinguished the flame-like pain binding his temples, although the rich sunset glow w«s still In the room when he opened hie eyes. Floyd was bending over him, bathing his. fore­ head with light, firm touches. Stanthe savage irritability ot a strong man “What a position for you and me! What will you do for mo—the engine is shaking loose from the chassis, by the feeling? Get your tools.” "Don’t try to talk. I have sent for a doctor," soothed Floyd. "You are all right. Here," a band was slipped behind his head, a glass of water held to his lips. “Drink this.” “You might have been a nurse," Stanton wandered dreamily. “Your sister couldn’t do better. And you’re so nonsensically.good-looking! Floyd,” the feverishly brilliant eyes flashed wide, "whet is your sister’s name?" "Jessica." . "Jesse—-Jessica?" "We are twins; I told you that They named ub so purposely." The heavy white bandage encircling his mechanician’s left arm caught the patient’s failing attention. "You’ve had a bsd day; go home and rest," gasped Stanton the brute, before things slipped from his ken. would obtain Floyd’s address from Mr. Green, and pay a visit of acknowl­ edgment to his impromptu nurse, upon reaching New York. That much was required by ordinary courtesy, at least. “Got any enemies?” Inquired tbe doctor when taking leave. "Are you asking for a list of my acquaintances?” Stanton ironically re­ sponded. "Well,. I don’t want to play detec­ tive, but that whs a funny kind of in­ digestion you had, according to Mr. Floyd's account Some of the other racers might have wanted to keep you out of the way.” "No! Do you think you are talking of horse-traders? Once for all, there is nothing like that done.” Which was very true. But after the subdued medical man had departed, the jug of yellow roses caught Stan­ ton’s eye. A card whs dangling from the stems, a card, blank this time, ex­ cept for a pentlied legend: "So glad you were able to race, but so sorry you lost to the Atalanta." There was no need of signature. Stanton very carefully tore the card into illegible fragments, dragged out tbe flowers to fling them into tbe arid fireplace, and rang the bell. "Bring fresh ice-water," he hade the bell-boy who appeared. "And a time-table for New York.” However, he did not leave Lowell that day, detained by Mr. Green with a score of appointments and arrange­ ments. Nor was it until two days later that he found himself free to seek tbe address in upper New York which he had wrested from the reluctant assist­ ant manager. “Floyd asked me not to give it to people,’’ Mr. Green had protested. "Did he ask you not to give it to me?” “No, but—" "Very good; I am not people.” “Don't you see him enough at race Mu CHAPTER VII. Th* Girl Llk* Floyd. Stanton awoke slowly, with a con­ sciousness of physical well-being and singular restfulnesa. The shades of his room were lowered, but tbe daz­ zling sunshine streamed In around edges aud through ‘cracks, glittering over a near-by tablt covered with yel­ low telegrams, cards, newspapers, ho­ tel memoranda of telephone calls re­ ceived—all the familiar evidences of tbe morning after a race. And in the midst of the litter stood an ice-water pitcher containing a mass of pale­ yellow roses. Stanton frowned and looked about him for a bell. Some one rose from a corner and approached the bed. "Better, sir?” queried a businesslike voice; a distinctly medical young man in glasses gazed down at him. Tbe full situation came clearly to Stanton. "All right,” be gave brief aeurano*. "What time is it?” The young man consulted a watch. "Thirty-eight minutes past twelve. "You have slept about eighteen hours, as I figure It. I tpld Mr. Floyd that was all you needed; you were knocked out .by that attack of Illness, followed by a day’s wore that was enough to exhaust a horse. I saw you race, yes­ terday.” "Where is Floyd F “Be stayed here until midnight, un­ til vou had been sleeping like a baby times, Stanton? I’m sure he is the best man we have had,” fretted his manager. | Stanton was recalling that interview as he went up the stairs of the quiet apartment house Indicated. After all, it was true that Floyd might have volunteered his address, himself, if be had wished it known. Perhaps he did not want go see his driver unoffl dally. A sense of unwelcomeness op­ pressed Stanton, but he kept cn his way. He bad never swerved from a course because of the opinions of others; he did not *think of turning back now. Some one was singing, ss he reached the fourth floor; singing in a smooth, honey-rich, honey-golden contralto. Warned of his approach oy th* bell pushed below, tbe door of the apart­ ment was opened, so that the melody cam* flooding his bearing with, Its haunting familiarity. A little old Irishwoman In black silk was peering up at the tall visitor on the threshold. "Mr. Floyd?” he inquired. “My name Is Stanton.” The old servant drew back, *mllln> Tnvltatron, and pushed aside a cur for five hours. He was nearly all In, himself, but be wouldn’t leave until be was sure you were all right One of tbe nicest fellows I ever met He made me promts* to stay with you. I,” with an expansive smile, *7 have got more time than patients, as yet Here, all this junk came for you, on the table. I have answered seventeen telephone calls and sent off twelve posies in tbe water-jug. All right?” "All right and much obliged,” Stan­ ton affirmed, beguiled into smiling, while he glanced casually at the table. "There isn’t any one I am in a hurry to see or hear from. I think I will get up; it’s breakfast time." "I think so. Considering It is your first meal for thirty-six hours. I’ll or­ der for you. Although I fancy you could digest a rubber tire; you-look it Oh, Mr. Floyd left a note.” Stanton rose to his elbow. "Where is it?" demanded th* man who eared to hear from no one. It was a short note on the hotel sta­ tionery, written In a wide-open, leg­ ible band that somehow recalled Floyd’s direct gray eyes. "Dear Stanton: The doctor Bays you are only tired; and I have got to b* in New York by morning. I would not leave you if I could do as I want­ ed. I hop* you will believe that "Cordially. "JESBK FLOYD." Tbe letter might have been written by a girl, for Its reticence and lack of the personal element, but Stanton was well content- It rang right. He felt vigorously alive and amazingly hun­ gry. While be was breakfasting, or lunch­ ing, and reading the heap of corre­ spondence—which commenced with * congratulatory telegram from th* Mer­ cury Company and concluded with a request for his photograph to be used as a speedometer advertisement— Stanton decided upon hl* course. He tain. And Stanton saw Jessica Floyd rise from her seat at the piano, tak­ ing a step to meet him. She was so like Floyd that be could have cried out In wonder, yet was most purely and softly feminine. She seemed taller, In her clinging paleb’.ue gown, and even mor* slender, but Floyd's silver-gray eyes looked out from her long lashes, Floyd's bronze curls clustered around her wide brows, under the braids wound about her head, and her smile was a more timid reflection of tbe incarnate sun­ shine of his. "I am sorry Jes is not at home,” she said, holding out her hand with a nat­ ural grace of hospitality that rose above her nervous shyness. ’I am Jessica Floyd, Mr. Stanton, his sis­ ter.” She was afraid of him. The too ob­ vious fact struck deep into Stanton, as h* felt her fingers flutter In his olaap. So this was the reputation he bad earned for himself? "Perhaps I should not hav* come," he apologised quit* humbly. “I— Floyd gave me no warrant for it But be was very good to me, when I was sick in Lowell, and I wanted to thank him.” She looked at him fully, then, and again be could have cried out at th® wonder of so meeting Floyd’s straight candcr of regard. “Why should you not com*?' Jes has not so many friend* that they are not welcome In his home. Only, if he had known of your coming, be would have been here." She moved to a chair, inviting him by a gesture to do likewise, and took up a ha If-embroidered silk scarf. "He was called out of town,’’ she added, after waiting for her silent guest to speak. "He will be sorry to hav* missed you. From Mr. Green be learned that you had quite recovered, after he left you.” "Better, Sir,” Said a * Business-Like Vole*. "And be? I hurt hl* arm." She glanced up astonished. “You hurt his arm?" "I was driving tbe • c«r.” Slantc® assumed grim responsibility. ’ Thia time she laughed, two adorable • dimples starting into view In her cheeks of glowing rose-and-amber velvet; not the complexion of a blonde beauty, nor of a brunette, but some happy intermediate tint that presup­ posed flawless health and much sualight Stanton bad never observed, any dimples about bis mecha&icfiML "I am certain Jes Sever thought at' that standpoint. He said a turn and1 a tire were to blame. But his arm. is almost well." She spoke so lightly, with so much of Floyd's own nonchalant accept­ ance of incidental mishaps, that Stan­ ton was surprised Into indiscretion. “You do not worry about him!" he questioned. "You are not nervous about his racing, and racing with me?’" Her lashes fell, her face grew seri­ ous. "If anything happens to Jes, I will tH» too,” she slowly answered, ‘/Weare—twins. No, I do not worry. Be­ sides, I grew up used to seeing Jea in danger; he told you of bls life with father?" "Yes.” “Well, he never had time to be afraid, or I to be afraid for him. Yon can not be afraid of things you have been doing or seeing done ever since you could understand at all. As or­ dinary. babies are taken out in car-' riages, Jes was taken out in fast' motor-cars. My father could not bear' him out of his sight; when Jea was in kilts, he was taken to the factory each day to amuse himself among the workmen and machines." Profoundly interested, he studied her. "And you. Miss Floyd? What did you do?" ■ *7?" she turned aside her head, her full, firm young mouth slightly com­ pressed. "When I was fourteen, X sold to my father, one morning, 'Dad­ dy, what Is to become of Jessica F Jes is learning all he needs to be a man; how Is Jes’s sister to leant to­ be a woman?' And ho answered me frankly, ’Jessica, I do not know. You have no kinswomen, and I could not endure a stranger in your mothsi'a house. You will have to let Jea b* wise for both, except for your nurw’awoman-teaching.’ So I—did. Jes l»i Jes and Jessica for both. You are the first visitor who ever followed him here, and the first I ever received in New York. We are like no one else in tbe world. I believe." s* "You are never lonely?” he w/mtdered.

"No," she regretted, a trifle hur­ riedly. He hesitated, in the grasp of an im­ pulse strange'to himself.

The bal­ ance of the quarter saw some of the most determined play of tbe game, both sides fighting desperately for every inch of ground, the ball chang­ ing sides frequently, and the quar­ ter ending without further scoring. Score, Nashville 13, Hastings 7. The last quarter, which was of but ten minutes duration, saw the home team open the ginger jar and extract a few of the snaps which their op­ ponents had not yet seen. Fake punts, forward passes, line shifts, cross bucks, all bewildering in their speed, took the burly visitors off their feet. Repeatedly Nashville made first down in one or two plays, until a quarter-back run of ten yards took Brumm over the line squarely between the posts for the third touchdown. In the last minute of play, after several forward passes had failed on account of the gathering darkness, Brumm took the ball again on a fake pass formation, and went through the whole. Hastings team, scattered to guard the pass, for a fourth touchdown. Goal was miss­ ed on the kick. But two more scrimmages were pulled off before the timers' whistle blew and the game was ended. Score, Nashville 26; Hastings 7. The teams lined up as follows: S. Rogers Downing Heise Coolbaugh Kent Wolf Sprague 1 Hyde Hyde (Capt) f Rogers / R. G. Nesman Thnrpe J Cheesman R. E.

Hastings has the satisfaction of being the only team which has ever scored against the local team on the home grounds. This is the second time Hastings has turned the trick No more games this week. Eaton Rapids was expected for Friday, but will not be here. They may possibly come Tuesday. Nashville students made a gala evening of it. indulging in tbe "snake dance" after the game and having a huge bonfire in the evening, rousing the town with school songs and yells in true college style. To mention any one player as starring for Nashville would be manifespy unfair, as every man filled bls place well and it was by unanimous team work that the game was won. Every playc. who started the game finished it. Nashville not being call­ ed upon to use a single substitute, while Hastings used several in place of exhausted players. Thursday of next week will bring the Dig alumni game, which will showall the stars of former years against the all-star 1912 team. It will ba a game well worth seeing. Hastings rooters bought all the cardboard they could find In the local drug stores to make megaphones, for which they had no use after the third quarter. We want to compliment the visit­ ors on their conduct both during and after the game. Both players and accompanying fans conducted them­ selves In a manner worthy of most favorable comment. The players of both sides fought like tigers during the game, but left all animosity bur­ ied under the sod of the gridiron. NOTICE.

UNLESS YOU REAU OUR ADS, YOU DON'T KNOW So its a mighty good plan for you to glance over our ads every week, in order to know what we are offering in the line of farm and dty prop­ erty. Most any time you are likely to run across something which would be a good money-maker for you. We can tell you of several in the list right now which are offered for much less than they are actually worth, When you can buy a good productive farm, well fenced, with good buildings and everything in good shape, for less than $75 per acre, you are not only making a good investment for the future, but are making real, actual, bona fide money as soon as you close the transaction. For instance, you go and try to buy Ernie Barker’s farm for the price he paid for it a couple of months ago and see if you don’t get kicked off the place. Just s’pose you drop in and see us in our new office on the ground floor and tell us what sort of a place you would like to buy, the price you want to pay, and see us get busy.

It was gross exaggeration on Em­ ery’s part to imagine that he bad to look up all the relatives who had left the home land. Because he had heard the words "Toll Agnes” so many times he had come to look upon Ag­ nes as a tyranny. But because Agnes was the sister of tbe girl whom Em­ ery intended to propose to upon his return from America she had to be endured. She had left the home land some months before John Emery had found his way into the friendship of the Doan family. •There IB only one more message I have for Agnes," Mary Doan told him the night before his departure, "and I am telling you because you will see her before my letter reaches her." Mary blushed shyly, and John Emery felt a strange drop in the tempcrar ture. •Tell Agnes that—I am going to marry Billy Wads in September and that I want her to be my bridesmaid." John Emery never could remember just how he got out of the house and away from Mary Doan's happy blush­ ing face. •Tell Agnes--nothing!" muttered Emery, as he stepped off the boat on tho New York side of tbe Atlantic. T will not even look her up now." "Oh—are you Mr. John Emery?" asked a feminine voice at his side. Emery looked up from tbe steamer trunk he bad been opening for the customs man. “Oh. I say!” the Englishman caught hl. his breath. After acknowledging M Quick & Co. When some six weeks later John Emery wrote a letter to Mary Doan and received an answer from her, there were two familiar words In It. •Tell Agnes." Mary wrote, “that I think you 'are well worth loving. I wanted her to be my bridesmaid, but a matron of honor Is perhaps more dignified."

Emery found that be could speak without bitterness of Mary's beauty. "She told me to tell you that—* he floundered for a second, "that she has made Billy Wade a happy fellow. They are to be married in September, and Mary wants you to be her brides­ maid." Emery breathed more freely now that tho hardest oi the messages bed been given. “Oh, I am glad!" cried Agnes, then stopped short. Distress was evident in her big, expressive eyes. Tt does not In the least matter," Emery comforted her; “It is no doubt best that Mary did not love me.” Ho looked at Agnes in so direct a man­ ner that tho color mounted her cheeks for the third time. "Ako," went on Emery, conscious that his eyes had betrayed his inner­ most- thoughts and desiring to put her at. ease, “Mary wanted you to know that there are six pink roses peeping Into your casement window, and. that she has had your room dressed in pink rose chintz. Lady Maud hns a family of seven kittens, and Mike has disgraced himself • by rclng after the Stilwell chickens. The little robin still comes to the window for crumbs and tie thrush sings in tho apple tree at twilight." Emery drew his breath sharply when he realized that Agnes had brushed her hand swiftly across her eyes. “Don't!" Agnes put In without turn­ ing her eyes toward him. “You make me want to go home. I suppose Mary is’still using the’ old brown teapot?" she went on In emotional voice. It was Emery’s eyes now that sought apace. “Yes,” he said, for the moment un­ conscious of Agnes. “Mary is pour­ ing tea from the brown teapot But I suppose It Is Billy Wade who is watching her." His glance traveled about until it rested' on the slim fin­ gers that had unconsciously fallen on bls teacup. He looked st them for a­ long moment, and while he looked a great change swept over his vision. "You have not told me whether or not you will take tea with me every day," he told Agnes suddenly. “Perhaps you would get tired look­ ing at the same hands," she laughing­ ly returned. “No," he said, ’T will not Will you come?" • "Certainly." Agnes smiled across the table at him. "I will be delight- WEARING SNAKE SKIN GOWNS Pythons and Anacondaa Being Slaugh­ tered to Provide Dreeses for Women.

"Just fancy your knowing me," he said with the tinkle of her laugh ring­ ing in his ears. "Sister sent ma a coaching picture taken down at Ilfracombe, and It is so good a likeness that I had no diffi­ culty. Mary tries to keep me from being homesick by telling me about the jolly times—” Her voice trailed off and Emery felt his first emotion for Mary’s sister. "We will go and have a cup of tea," he said quickly, "if you will be good many things to 'tell Agnes,’" he told her, using the familiar words. “I'm sorry," he apologized, noting her blush, "I was quoting your sister." T would forgive you anything since you have Invited me to have a cup of tea. Fancy," she said in a voice that was not quite steady, T have not been asked to have a cup of tea since I left homo."

Miss Carlisle turned to Stanton, enlight­ ened. "Oh, your mechanician; I remem­ ber." •My friend and mechanician, yes,” be amended. "Ah? But I am detaining you—I merely wished to aak iffc-ou had quite recovered from your illness. When you left us that night, I never imag­ ined you would try to race next morn­ ing. And you should not have doo* so: it resulted in an accident.” Re opened his lips to deny that his Illness had caused the Mercury’s mis­ hap, then paused. If he had not felt the average irritability of a strong man sick, would he have quarreled with Floyd and taken his car around tbe turn at such ruinous speed? He did not know. ”1 am perfectly well, thank you,” he answered. Instead. "Indeed, I am glad. Will you not come to see us soon—you owe us a dinner call, you know." • He did not echo her delicately ex­ pectant smile, his dark face hard. "You must believe my appreciation of the dinner without that formality. Miss Carlisle. I start for Indiana in a few days,” he regretted. Her amber eyes also hardened, sud­ denly and strangely; she moved a step to retire, catching up her trailing lengths of satin and laoe. "As you will, of course. Ah; we found out what car wins when you are taken from a race, Mr. Stanton, aa at LowelL And you judged wrong —it was not the Duplex, but the Atalanta. Good night” Stanton looked after her, amazed, then abruptly turned bis eye* to the frank, steadfast face of Jessica Floyd. "Come out in the fresh air,” he re­ quested. ‘That perfume she wears smothers one." "Sandalwood," Interpreted Jessica, turning; she had her brother's habit of instantly obeying a suggestion. CHAPTER VIII. Team-Mated. Floyd returned Stanton’s call after a fashion of his own, aome days later. "There’s a gentleman down-stairs to see you, sir." the bell-boy brought in­ formation to the latter, one afternoon. "He won’t come up because he says he can't leave his automobile, but he'd be glad If you’d come down, sir,” Stanton looked at the card presented, and rose with alacrity. His mechanician was in the hall, gazing across the wide windows at a low-swung, long-bonneted, dull-gray motorcar that stood by the curbstone; a car stripped as bare of every super­ fluous belongings as .a pugilist enter­ ing the ring. At the hiss of the de scending elevator he turned to meet Stanton with his smile of sun-shot cordiality. "I was afraid to let your machine out of my sight.” he exclaimed. "Sh* Is going on to Indiana, to-night, and the chief wanted you to see her first There wasn't time to get you out to the factory, after fixing her steering busi­ ness tbe way you wanted, so they sent her down for you to look over.

When he joined Floyd beside the big car, he stood for a moment busied with the clasp of his gauntlet, before at­ tempting to start. "Miss Floyd told you of my call, the other day?” he queried. "Yes, of course. I was sorry to be away: I had never thought of your hunting me up.” "You did not object to my taking her out? There was no way of asking you." This from the self-willed Stanton I Floyd’s eyes glinted with an apprecia­ tion at once humorous and touched. "Object? Why? You could take care of her," he countered.

George Lowell, Treasurer. OBITUARY. Mary Jane Hamilton, daughter of Samuel and Mary Hamilton, was born in the vicinity of Bellevue Feb­ ruary 5, 1859, and died at her home in East Maple Grove November 22, 1912, at the age of 53 years, 9 months and 17 days. In 1878, she was united in marriage with Mildred Ely, to whom she was ever a faith­ ful and loving companion. Five children came to cheer their home, all of whom are grown to manhood and womanhood, and have established homes for themselves, except a little daughter, Anna, about fourteen years of age. Fred and Mrs. Hazel Pierce residing in Maple Grove. Mrs. Mabel Welcher in Kalamo and Arthur and Alden in Northern Michigan. She was a woman possessed of a cheer­ ful, genial disposition, ever willing to do what she could for others. Her funeral was largely attended from the M. E. church in Maple Grove. Rev. Wm. Roach conducted the ser­ vices and the remains were laid to rekt in the adjoining church-yard. Numerous neighbors and friends sym­ pathize most sincerely with the sor­ rowing family in their hour of great trial. -Distinguishing Name*. “In a certain Swiss valley," write* a traveler, “family after family there lationshlp being lost in antiquity.

One day Fenelon was telling him that he had been looking at hls (Richelieu’s) new picture. •‘Did you ask it for a sub­ scription?" inquired the cardinal. "No; I saw there was no chance," re­ plied Fenelon; “it looked so much like you." SERVICE CLOTHES In these two words are embodied all the essentials of proper ' wearing apparel. Service clothes should incorporate reliability of fabnc, permanency in fit, shape and construction, correct style, attractiveness in patterning and general durability in wear. That is why we designate our •‘Graduate” Hand-Tailored Clothes and . . “Viking” Guaranteed Clothes for Young Men as expressing to the fullest sense the term “Service Clothes.” The convertible overcoat shown in the illustration emphasiz­ es this Service idea. -Here is an overcoat qs good, practical and fashionable for stormy days as it is for fair days. Just a simple twist of the wrist changes it from the regular styled overcoat of the season to the throat-protecting collar so necessary for the more severe days. ■ o. m.

The people of Nashville are In­ debted to the Pythian Sisters for the opportunity of enjoying one of the finest evening’s entertainments given here in years, in the mixed program given at the opera bouse on Thanks­ giving night by Miss Marie Rasey, reader, and- Dr. Frederick TenEyke Munson, baritone. Miss- Rasey’s many friends her’e were more -than pleasantly surprised at the profici­ ency she has attained as a reader. Wo feel safe In saying that few, if any, of the many readers who have visited Nashville in the past have shown more proficiency and talent. Her humor is so spontaneous and natural that It at once establishes a sympathetic bond between the read­ er and her audience and they follow her naturally and easily through all the moods of the various numbers. "The Day of Precious Penalties," and “The Happy Prince” were two of her most enjoyable numbers, while the "Animal Cycle” and other num­ bers received hearty encores. Miss Rasey is one of Nashville’s most tal­ ented daughters and she has a host of friends here who are watching her progress in the world with a great deal of interest. Dr. Munson has a baritone voice of wonderful sweet­ ness and range, and no singer who has visited Nashville since the days of J*. Knox Gavin has so completely captured a Nashville audieneq. He can be sure of a most hearty and en­ thusiastic reception if he ever visits Nashville again, as we hope he may. He bad six numbers on the program, which ought to satisfy an ordinary audience, but ho was compelled to respond to several encores, which he did most graciously. Miss Iva Coe was the accompanist, and nothing further need be said regarding her work, which was of high class throughout. PARCELS 1*OST NEXT MONTH. The new parcels post law takes effect with the beginning of the new year, after which all articles of mer­ chandise going by mall will come under the parcels post act. All par­ cels mailed under this act must be under parcels post stamps, a supply of which Is expected at the Nash­ ville office before that time. No merchandise can be sent with ordi­ nary postage stamps. If mailed un­ der ordinary stamps, packages will be treated as "held for postage," and the postage will have to be paid a second time, with the regular par­ cels post stamps attached. Packages mailed under the parcels post act will also take varying rates of post­ age, according to the distance of their destination from the office of mailing, the rate increasing with each "xone.” Under the new act, packages weighing up to eleven pounds may be sent by mail, the for­ mer limit being four pounds. Be­ fore the new law takes effect, we shall publish a schedule of rates un­ der the new ruling. WOMAN’S LITERARY CLUB. The Woman’s Literary Club met in regular meeting Tuesday, Novem­ ber 26.

After singing, "Michigan, My Mich­ igan,” we adjourned to meet Tuesday, December 10, with Miss Josephine Downing. KUNZ FAMILY REUNION. The Kunz family held its annual reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Brumm Thanksgiving Day. A bountiful dinner was served to which all did full Justice.

The big boat ran aground during the night and is pounding dangerously. She is on a weather shore and the seas are break­ ing high over her. It is feared that she will be a total loss. Shortly before noon the tug Lome aryl the life-sarhig steamer Santa Crus made their way to the distressed ship, despite the heavy seas, and stood by. The relief boats reached the stranded craft with difficulty because of the great breakers. Both vessels are equipped with life­ saving apparatus a:.

Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR!^ Children Cry for Fletcher’s SIGNATURE OF ARMISTICE EXPECTtD TODAY WILL BE FOL­ LOWED BY ACTION. WILL DEMAND $240,000,000 demnity of Enemy—Crown Prince of Montenegro Io Wounded—Bui* garian Lpss la 10,000 Killed. London, England., Dec. 3.—The work of charting a new map of .what hitherto has been European Turkey will begin immediately after the sig­ nature of the armistice by the pleni­ potentiaries of Turkey and the Bal­ kan allies at the village of Baghtche today. If the allies are able to agree as to the portions of tbe spoils-they are to receive, there seems no proba­ bility of a resumption of hostilities. Comparatively favorable terms which, from all accounts, have been offered to Turkey by tbe allies are so different from the original proposals that they seem to suggest that tbe governments of the Balkan league realize that with winter gripping the country Turkey baa gained an ally which will prove more fatal to the armies fronting Adrianople, Scutari and Tcbatalja than "have been the Ot­ toman cannon. ■ Pessimism Shown at Vienna. An adjustment of the Austro-Servlan dispute is not , yet in sight Vienna continues to show pessimism and the newspapers there maintain their threatening attitude, but rela­ tions between St Petersburg and Vienna seem to have become more cordial and it is believed in diplo­ matic quarters than eventually Servta will obtain a small mercantile port on the Adriatic sea. connected with Servla by railroad. ’ The signature of the protocol of the armistice between the Balkan al­ lies and Turkey postponed until to­ day as the Greek delegate has not received the necessary authority from his government It Is rumored that in addition to the Bulgarian- froops just landed at Dedeagbatch another large force of Greek troops from Balonlki Is at sea and it is suggested that Greece may delay signing the armistice to enable these troops to arrive at their des tination, which is supposed to be the Gulf of Saros, in Gallipoli. It is understood that the armistice will extend about a fortnight, if neces sary, and cover the* whole field ol operations. The difficulty with re spect to the beleaguered garrisons o' Adrianople and Scutari Is being sur mounted by permitting. them to re ceive dally rations during the armls tlce. . ■ To Demand $240,000,000 of Turkey.

Mr. Green's mouth grow thin from pressure. “If you quarrel with Floyd, I shall not know where out here I can get you another mechanician in time," he gave stiff warning. “All right." was the answer. Floyd was engaged In blocking out a map with toothpicks, and did not look up; he appeared even more ridiculous­ ly young and gay epf riled than usual, in the morning sunlight But some­ thing In the poise of his bright head echoed that "all right" Mr. Green went on, and Interfered no more dur­ ing tbe journey. The speed carnival held upon the superb two-mile track was to extend over three days. The contests were of varied types and classes, but the Mer­ cury was entered for at least one event and frequently several, on each day. “Aren't there any Atalanta cars en­ tered, at all?” Floyd wondered, on the first morning at the track. “None." Stanton assured. “Then I won’t need to burn a joss stick." “What for?" “Luck,” said Floyd sweetly; and re­ fused to explain. Their luck held good. They had neither illness nor serious accident to mar their series of victories aftd trials. For Stanton drove as if by inspira­ tion, and many of tbe honors of the carnival remained with him. "You’ve struck the perfect course. Stanton,” declared a famous rival, upon offering his congratulations after suffering a masterly defeat in a fivemile contest He did not like the oth­ er man. but he was obliged to admire him. "How so?" queried Stanton as suc­ cinctly. "Between recklessness and over-cau­ tion.” It was quite true. With Floyd be­ side him. Stanton's driving was as daringly brilliant, but characterised by some rational consideration of the pos­ sibilities of disaster. Why? No one had time to speculate. It was commencing to trouble Stan­ ton himself, this growing affection for his mechanician that threatened to be­ come an absorbing need. He had never seeded any one. he had been self-sufficient and self centered; and now he felt a blank chill at the idea of losing the society of this boy-man. It chafed and fretted him with a sense of bondage: when he felt the cords draw most, he turned upon Floyd and worried him savagely. Floyd laughed. And Floyd’s laughter would have disarmed a Cossack. When he did not laugh, he flashed back, spark to powder, so that they quar­ reled on an average four times a day. And they spent every available mo­ ment together, until their frlendsMp became patent even to the skeptical Mr. Green. "We can plan out some of our fac­ tory affairs on the way home, on tbe train," Stanton arranged.' at the close nf the last day. when, taking temporary leave of his mechanician at the Mer­ cury camp. “I’m planning a fender for each side of the Comet racing nr, so that when you feel like knocking In a few lengths of tbe Infield fence, as you did this afternoon, we’ll be ready for it," mockwd Floyd, his effervescent youth heady as champagne. “Fence or no fence, we won," Stan­ ton retnrted indulgently. "Of course! You kept right on driv­ ing the front of your car, so the rear just naturally had to climb back on the road and follow. I expected that; you were too busy to stop for'a little thing like side-wiping a fence." "You seemed to expect it." the oth- er corroborated. He looked with in­ terested curiosity at his nonchalant assistant “If I am too busy to wor­ ry at such times. Floyd; you are not. Don’t you ever think of what is likely to happen when we are on the verge of a smash?” Floyd paused, turning his large clear eyes on tbe questioner. "There's just one thing I’m asking," he gravely returned. "That is, that when it comes. It will be a good smash. No one minds Just dying— ‘we’re sure to do it some day, anyhow —but to be mussed up and patched to­ gether again, no! Now,” his irrepresIble smile glanced out again, “that's vhy I feel so safe with you; there Is a deadly finality about your driving methods—" “That ia about enough,” Stanton sigilfled. "I’ll see you on the train, hen." They did meet on the train, and passed long hours of travel In work and discussion. The other passengers came to take a decided. If furtive In­ terest In the two who sat oifposltf each other In absorbed conversatloi or argument making drawing" on en­ velopes and time-tables to Illustrate their points and even leaving rows of figures upon the menu cards In the dining-car. Incidentally, both men displayed a thorough training In mechanical de­ sign and construction, Stanton's far the more finished and scientific. "I did not know—’’ Floyd marveled. Stanton forestalled tbe question by indifferently explaining. ”1 am a mechanical engineer; I graduated from college at twen|y-one; that was five years ago. You have dropped your pencil. What do you say to staying over half a day at Buffalo and visiting your factory?" "Fine," approved Floyd, a trifle slowly. “A half day, not more. We have got to make ready for that Cup race." "Three weeks off. You’re getting aa old-womanish as Green.” “Too bad. Still I have to be at the Mercury plant when you don’t Half a day ought to be enough.” Stanton surveyed him. Irritated, yet without tangible cause for irritation. There were times when he could have imagined that Floyd evaded too close companionship with him, subtly held him at arm’s length. . They stayed tbe half day at Buffalo, and went out to tbe huge, silent group of-bnildings that had been the Comet factory. It gave Stanton a strange sensation to watch Floyd's assured familiarity with this place and atmosphere; to see him so naturally draw from his pocket the bunch of keys to admit them and unhesitatingly fit each to its corresponding door or gate. Yet, this was where be belonged—only there should have been busy life Instead of this dead emptiness. Their voices ach­ ed loud through the desolation, where the massive, motionless machinery stood toyerlng above the visitor and the slight young master of the domain, the metal-spotted, roughened factory floors reverberated under their foot­ steps. As they made the tour from room to room- and building to building, Floyd grew slowly whiter, his explanations more brief. When they finally arrived at a glass-set door marked office, he stopped short and laid bis hand upon the wall as if to steady himself. “Go away, for a moment." he re­ quest, his voice catching. ”1’11 come after you. I haven't been here since my father—" Stanton swung on his heel and went out; out to look at tbe mile track, where Edgar Floyd usod to practice racing with little Jes tied In the car beside him. and where later the older Jes played mechanician to bls father’s driving. And standing there under the dull October sky, Stanton thought of many things. When Floyd came after him. half an hour, later, Stanton turned from his position against tbe track railing. “Floyd, what do you figure Is going to become of your sister?" be abrupt­ ly demanded. Floyd stopped, gaxlng at the other with parted Ups and startled gray eyes. A strong wind was blowing off Lake Erie, tossing his bronse hair and wrapping his long coat about him. “My sister r* he repeated. "Why?” "She is a woman, ebe must have ber like a nun until she finds herself grown old without a chance at llvtag.” Floyd continued to gaze at him, say­ ing nothing; that half-hour In.the of­ fice had left him almost wan in the gray afternoon light. “You know roe. Jes Floyd, If any one does. You know my vile temper, my rough tongue, and that I am a cross-grained brute at best. But I think there may be enough of the In­ herent gentleman left tn me to make me decent to a woman. If, tn time, things fell out so that I’d asked you for your sister, would you be willing? Speak frankly. If you do not thlrfk me fit to be trusted with her. say so—It will net break our friendship." ____ , Stanton had never heard Mm use that, soft, slurring speech except on thV race­ tracks; beard now tn the quiet coun­ try surroundings, ft infected the listen­ er with a contagious agitation and emotion. "I know, I know,” he deprecated. "But. I might see ber snore, and see­ ing no better men she might come to bear with me. Not that there is much in me worth It—she probably never would look at me. What I am asking you. now, is whether you want me to keep away from her. Say yes, and we will shake hands and drop the sub­ ject for ever.” Very alowly Floyd held out his slen­ der hand. "Jessica has the right to a chance," he agreed. Tm not goin' to meddle with things beyond my understandin*. An’ I’d rather have her your wife than have anything else in the world. Only tell If jou want ber, yet” Stanton shot him one straight, ex­ pressive glance. “She Is like you,” slipped from him involuntarily; then, furious at his be­ trayal of sentiment, he dropped the other's hand. "Vfe had better go, or we’ll miss the train,’’ he bruskly re­ minded. "Oh, she Is like me," confirmed Floyd; he turned to look again at the factory. “We are pretty close chums. Yes, you an' I had better be gettin* to the train.” They walked back to the nearest trolley line, both silent The subject waa not touched again, until the following morning, when they ’eft the train in New York. “When shall I see you?" Stanton questioned, as they exchanged fare­ veils In the noisy depot “To-mor- ;’m "’••tag to be out,of town for the jext two weeks, Mr. Green tells me," Floyd replied. “They want me at the Mercury factory, and there are some Jther trips, too, I believe. Jessica Is suing to be rather deserted; If you iappen to look her up, no doubt she would be glad to speak to some one tiesides her nurse." “Thank you." accepted Stanton, as sarelesaly. "Take care of yourself." He had not reached the exit when Floyd overtook him. “Here are tbe entries for the Cup •ace.” he panted, thrusting a folded icwspaper Into Stanton’s hand. "There »re two Atalanta cars to run against is. It’s you who need to take care it yourself, until afterward.” "Floyd, wait! What do you mean? Do you really think—” But bls mechanician evaded tbe luestion. “Some people are hoodoos." he aughed. “Keep away from them, pfflase. Good-by." He had not spoken Valerie Carlisle’s same, yet Stanton knew against whom le warned. And ’ ' the ” melodramatic ’ absurdity of the idea did not prevent They Walked Back to the Car Line, Both Silent. an odd thrill of discomfort and Inse­ curity, from which he took his usual refuge in roughness. “I’m not In tbe habit of hiding from people, hoodoos or not Good-by." "Oh, very well,” acquiesced Floyd oddly. "But If you won't take care of yourself, Stanton—" "Well, what?” “Never mind." CHAPTER X. An Interval. It was on the second day after his arrival in New York that Stanton called upon Jessica Floyd. This time he went more confidently up the stairs of the quiet apartment house, sure of his right As before, the little old Irishwoman clad In black silk was waiting to ad­ mit Mm; as before, be could have cried out in the wonder of seeing this girl who turned Floyd's candid face to him and smiled wich Floyd's gray eyes. Only, this afternoon Jesslcia did not rise from the piano seat to greet him. but from a chair Dear a window. Although the season was early, a fire burned in the tiny hearth, on either side of which they were seated, facing each other. In the ruddy light Stanton contemplated the smiling girl, in her pale-biue gown with its lace ruffle* foaming around bet full young throat and falling low across her hands. "Your brother hae told you of the tmsineas partnership that we plan for this winter. Miss Floyd?" She nodded her bronze-crowned r-E.UI.NG TSE AHtrUBKS 3F ECZEMA, WHOSE head. 'A' i AKE MISERABLE.

"I have not had much gentleness shown me." he said. "My mother died my father married again. My stop­ mother was a good woman, whom I loved as well as my father did- But within the second year after the mar­ riage. the horses they were driving ran away, dragging the carriage over an embankment, and my parents died within a few moments of each other wMle being taken to the hospital. Have I said that my father was wealthy? He was so. He had made his will, a year before, leaving every­ thing to Ms wife; well knewlng that she in her turn would pass all on to me. She was much younger than he, almost certain to outlive him, And entirely to be trusted. But she had never made a will, delayed by chance or forgetfulness, I suppose. When he died five minutes before her, all his fortune passed to his wife; then, upon her death without a will, again legally passed on to her relatives. I was left with no share or claim." ’ “But It was yours by every right! Surely, surely, your step-mother's rel­ atives did not take it?" “They took every penny and every inch. Miss F!d>d. And I; at fifteen, was sent out into the world, a beggar­ ed orphan. They had no interest in me, and I was old enough to support myself. One of them offered to get me a position as office boy." “Oh!

And he had dared stand before the father who thought himself specially, created and say: '’Father, I going to be married.” "Well?" To Gladys Davis.” "Never heard of her.” "The daughter of one of our en­ gineers." There was a moment of painful sus­ pense and then the storm broke. Tls the night before Christmas' “You shall not!

Newspaper readers are sometimes astonished by mistakes on the part of reporters. Consider, for Instance, the surprise of the readers of a cer­ tain staid daily some years ago when they learned that a public man had the night before solemnly announced that “All reforms In this country have been brought about by Prussia." The word the great man had really used was "pressure.’’ not “Prussia.” So. too, considerable astonishment was caused when "curates" Instead of “pew rates" were reported to be "the greatest en­ emies of the church.’’ .

Along about October 1 when the granaries of the world are full to bursting and the cellar Is so clut­ tered up with coal and preserves that the maid cannot reach the laundry taps without stumbling over the snow­ shovel, somebody says something about Christmas and gives father heart disease. All summer “dad" has been wrestling with the problems of business—this was presidential year, and everybody had to have vacations and Blllby & Jones started in direct competition and—oh, the dickens knows what! -i And now he has to face that Christ­ mas thing again! The list Is a mile long and father knows It will put a crimp, in his bank account amounting almost to cramp, but mother says it will have to be added to, if anything, so there! But somehow as I look at “dad,” 1 cannot restrain from asking: “Why should father be the goat?" It wasn’t so in the days when I was dreaming of a wonderful career in letters. Everybody worked on Christmas presents then and father was not called upon to settle the Christmas bills for all the family. I made a "corner-copia" (We don’t spell it now the way we pronounced it then) for mother.. She knitted some socks for me. I rigged up a shaving­ paper outfit for pa and he gave ma a perfectly good twenty-five cent jack­ knife. I made a wood box for tbe neighbor’s wife and she sewed M a pair of mittens. Everybody made things in those days. For weeks be­ fore the’ holidays, mother worked ev­ ery night on Christmas gifts, and she was as happy as could be doing thing* for those she loved. Into the fabric of what she was sewing, she put tho love and affection of a great heart— and all of us did the same, v And I’ll leave it to you—didn’t the things we got in the old days, the presents we made ourselves for each other, come nearer exemplifying tho true Christmas spirit? Of course they did! And father did not ha»e to dig down in bls pocket and pay for two hundred and fifty-seven presents, two hundred of which are given just be­ cause somebody else gave us some­ thing and got on tbe confounded list I I’m for Christmas—but I like the old-fashioned observance best It isn’t observing tbe “peace-on-earth” spirit to load “dad" up with so much debt that he can’t crawl out in five months.

Five minutes later he again paused suddenly. By the wayside another light was shining, and with a quick glance up and down the road he stood listening.

There wm no laden table here, but Instead he mw a bed upon which lay a white faced boy with a woman close beside him. He put his ear to the pane and listened. It was not long before he learned that tbe two were alone In the house, and at that good news Hobo Jim smiled approvingly. He pMsed quickly to tbe kitchen door and tried the latch. The door wm not locked and he entered with the stealth of a panther. A spare bed room with door ajar was adjoining, and forming his plans m he sneaked along Jim crept within. Here, In the. darkness, he would h<de beneath tho bed, wait until all wm still, and then in the early morning hours fill his stomach and pockets from the pantry and silently steal away. Instinct told him that the woman would sleep be­ side the sick boy and be had little fear of being discovered. And what if he was—with a lone woman and a helpless kid as his only bar to escape! NotseleMly he crept beneath bis shelter and lay listening. i Through the stlllnus their voices came to him in murmurs. It had been a bad year for the two In tbe next room, a year of privation and want, I and the morrow would be the hollowest mockery of any Christmas that had ever come to them; a day when a skeleton would preside at their board and hunger be an unwilled guest Patiently tho woman was ex­ plaining to the sufferer, telling him that she feared that this year Santa Claus would pass him by without stopping. ~But the boy was unbelievIng. "Santa Claus does not forgeL Hang up my stocking, please." ho told her, and Jim heard her sigh as she crossed the room to obey him. Then as the warmth of the house camo stealing softly over hln: Jim's eyelids fluttered and closed, the last thing ho remembered hearing being the woman’s voice as It began read­ ing to the sick one. • "More blessed to give than to re­ ceive------" But Hobo Jim was now sleeping. He was awakened and raised his head a trifle as be listened. There had been an accident in the room, a serious accident m he soon gathered, for through some misfortune the clock had been knocked from the mantle and now lay a ruin upon the floor.

The boy was sleeping now, while beside the bed the woman was sitting with head drooped forward as worn out from her long vigil she bad fallen asleep in the midst of her watching. And as he gazed at their tired faces there came to Jim a picture of many long years before, a picture of when he had been a boy and sick as this one now was. when a woman had sat be­ side him the long nights through glvIng him his medicine and ministering to him as she read—what wm it she had read?

How have they treated you down east?” Clive saw she was dressed In white soft satin that crushed under bls clasp like bruised flowers; he felt he was robbing Bob, and yet there in the dear old room they both knew so well, in the tender winter gloom, ha held her close, and kissed her—lips, hair, wet eyelids—and forgot all ex­ cept the splendor of the might have been. "They wont miss you,” she man­ aged to say finally, pushing back his face and holding It in her hands at a safe distance. "I’m so sorry—but you see I was thinking ot you. and— and wanting to see you so, and then suddenly riooked, and you were here, right here, with me." "And too late," he added bitterly.

On reaching 'home, an hour later, ScantonTound a letter awaiting him from the assistant manager, Green. It was dated from Long Island, and re­ minded him that the course would be open for the last day's practice next morning during the early hours. . "The car la at last ready, and If you see Jes Floyd, tel! him that we can not get along without him any longer," ran the concluding sentenc^ Stihton put doan the letter, frown­ ing at it in irritated astonishment Had not rtoyd gone to prepare for the race, with Green and by hls direct or­ der? How then could he, StantoL. know anything about his mechanicidu and why did not Green know every­ thing? Pocsibly Floyd had been kept at the Mercury factory: but in that case Green would surely have sent there for him, instead of trusting to the faint chance of Stanton’s encoun­ tering him. Of course Fioyd must be ready to go out for tbe delayed prac­ tice work next morning—Stanton rose Impatiently; of course he would be ready. ' A thought like % needleprick baited him when half-way across the room, a wild fancy. Could it be conceived credible that Valerie Carlisle did wish to prevent the Mercury car from rac­ ing. and. failing to reach the driver, might attempt to keep away the mech­ anician she knew to be so valuable? He recalled hls own strange Illness on the eve of the Massachusetts race. On an impulse beyond restrain, he turned to hls telephone; there would be' some one to tell him of Floyd at the factory, for it was working night and day to fill its orders. "Yes. 237 Frenchwood." the thin voice finally came along the wire. "Yes, Mercury. Mr. Stanton? Wait" Tbe Instrument roared vilely; he knew it was the din of the huge en­ gines he beard across thirty miles of distance. "Hello,” another voice took up, through the drone. “Stanton? This is Mr. Bailey. What? Oh, why Floyd’s gone on—” there was a blank clicking "—to Long Island tonight." was faint­ ly resumed. "He’ll be on hls job when you need him. Stanton; go a bit easy on the poor kid. He isn't a machine." Stanton exclaimed something ugly and hung up the receiver with a snap. Bailey was a fool, he mentally sneered, and Green was another, and he himaelf the third. As for Miss Carlisle. Floyd Paused to Wave a Response. both men were content Stanton had felt the thrill of relief and pleasure upon seeing his mechanician which surprised him into recognition of how much uneasiness the incident of the night before had caused him. "You will have to be kind to the tires,” Floyd warned, as he complied with the directions. "We have only got one extra set here. The shipment for the race hasn't arrived yet” "Why not?” "Goodness knows. Mr. Green has telegraphed to the tire company. I suppose they will be along to-day, or to-morrow at the worst" "I should hope so. Ready?" "Just about Oh, they all,say that your trial for speeding in ' Pelham Parkway took place day before yester­ day.” "It did.” Floyd stopped in the act cf ascend­ ing to bta seat "You didn't tell Jeaslca,” he re­ proached. "How do you know?" queried Stan­ ton, astonished. "I saw her late last night, on my way here.

I didn’t suppose Miss Floyd would be Interested In police court de­ tails. Get In." The morning’s work had begun. denies having them.” • "We’ll go to lunch. Floyd. The an­ swers will come in meanw^e." There was a hotel nearly, which Mr. Green made his headquarters, and Where Stanton and Floyd chose tn stay. A good many of the other driv­ ers and officials also remained for that night • ’Td run into little old New York." the drivtr of the Atalanta car ex­ plained to Stanton, "only I’m afraid it ain’t-healthy to go through Brooklyn so often." To the hotel the answers continued to come all that afternoon, until Mr. Green and the office were snowed over by strips of yellow paper. JThe larger the city and the more crowded its freight yard, the longer , the time re­ quired to make the search for the missing car and report the result to Long Island. After four o'clock, the roads were again open for practice until sunset. The Mercury went out for a couple of circuits, and lost another tire by skid­ ding on a turn. After that the car stood before its camp,—"Afraid of wearing out her last pair of shoes,” Floyd informed solicitous questioners. "Can't you buy them somewhere else?” chafed the Irritated Stanton. The assistant nianager stared in a reproach touched with hysteria. Hit collar was wilted, his eye-glasses dan­ gled by their cord. "Buy them? Buy enough racing tires fitting the Mercury to last you for a three hundred mile road race, and get them here by to-morrow morn­ ing? What’s the matter with you, Stanton?" "Well, since there is nothing to do but eat, come to dinner, Floyd," said the other. t "It Isn’t’ dinner, it’s supper,” cor­ rected bls mechanician. "This is the country and you had your dinner at noon. But I’ll come, anyhow." At the table in the oourse of the meal, a small tea-pot was set before Stanton. "Chocolate, air,” he was apprised. "Why, you had none at luncheon!” The pompadoured waitress giggled. "No, sir. But the gentleman sent a boy after some and came down and saw the cook, and cook’s that fond of nonsense, and she fifty-four next De­ cember—” Stanton looked across into Floyd's mirthful gray eyes. ”1 hadn’t anything better to do," was the malicious explanation. "And I was afraid your nerves would go to pieces If you didn’t get your usual drug and then you'd wreck us to-mor- "He’d coax a bird off a tree, sir," tittered the departing maid. "Give me your cup and have some,” Stanton briefly commanded. "Going to throw it at me, like you did that jug of water on the first night we raced together?" teased hls com­ panion. obeying. Stanton's head lifted slightly, the re­ gard in which he enveloped Floyd was almost savage In its leap of intense and tenacious passion. Buch a glance from man to woman would have been a declaration, from man to man it was not a thing to be voiced. Fioyd him­ self faltered before it, startled into pallor.

Floyd had lied to him, systematically deceived him; in order to escape from bis too pressing friend­ ship, no doubt. He remembered that the mechanician had always shrunk from his personal advances and only yielded to them under compulsion. Now he understood the letter which he had received the previous night from Green, and Mr. Bailey’s confused answer to hls question about Floyd. He had been put off to be amused by Jessica, until Floyd was again ready to use him in the plans for the Comet factory. Jessica! Stanton stopped short in the dark hail. Had Jessica also deceived him? Was she too play­ ing a part in order- to keep him in a good humor? He struck hls clenched hand violently against the wall beside him "What’s that?” cried the affrighted Mr. Green, within the room. "Who—” "I ran against the wall, in the dark," Stanton called, his voice a little hoarse, hut evenly controlled. "Good night” "Good night Well fix things all right Stanton; you take a good sleep.*' "I shall,” promised the driver. He did not At seven o’clock, the next morning, Mr. Green burst into the hotel dining­ room where Stanton was at breakfast “He’s got them! They’re coming," he rejoiced maniacally. "The car wasn’t at Brighton, but he located it ten miles farther over, on a siding. And he raised such a disturbance around the express people’s ears that they unloaded the tires then and there, and rushed out two motor trucks to cart them across to us. They’ll be here by eight and the race starts at nine. I have been up all night—an hour ago it looked as if you would have to be withdrawn from the con­ test for lack of a few sets of rubber tires. That fool tire company!” He wiped hls forehead. "Don’t you want to come out to the course, after you finish here? Floyd Is due on the train which arrives In fifteen minutes. If he isn’t smothered by the crowd. I never saw such a mob of people; they Lave been coming since dawn; all night, in fact, aud they're still coming." "Yes,” acquiesced the other un­ emotionally. Hls dark face gave an effect of bronzelike immobility, his blue-black eyes held steel glints. . "Well," the assistant manager re­ sumed, and paused. The pompadoured waitress was leaning between them, placing a tea­ pot on the table. "Chocolate, sir,” she giggled. Stanton pushed hack his chair, then checked himself as sharply. “No,” he stated, and set the pot away from before h!m. Tbe movement was not violent, but there was in It so much poorly re­ strained' force that tho china vessel shattered upon striking the table and all tbe fragrant brown liquid ran over tbe white cloth.

The Mercury camp was a scene of animated preparation, twenty minutes later, when Floyd emerged from tbe dense press of arriving spectators and gained the inclosure.

Floyd; I claimed no control over you. I don’t know why you did it, to be rid of me for a while, I suppose, but the reason doesn’t matter. Last night!

"Get in; I ought to have given you a chance.” And as the other obeyed: ’1 didn’t mean to meet you as I did. an hour ago, anyhow; It slipped me.” "They're signaling,” warned Mr. Green, hurrying over. "Are you ready? Both of you?" From his place beside Stanton, Floyd turned a face of Incarnate sun­ shine to the assistant manager, a face so changed in Its color and glow and warmth that all who saw drew breath in sheer wonder. tones a»sured. "Don't worry.” Stanton laughed with him, fastening on the mask, and sent the Mercury rolling forward. The world was right once more, and life sane. It was an exquisite morning; wind­ less. cool, with happy little effects of snowy clcxd against a oobalt-blue sky. The October air was a summerdistilled cordial, an ethereal intoxi­ cant. The racers had no time to no­ tice it, yet the effect was there. The speed made on the first laps was rec­ ord-breaking. The brown or gray streak of road sbead, the deadly turns, the treacher­ ous smooth hill down which it was so easy to make speed and still more easy to meet disaster—for the first hour Stanton bad no attention to spare from these. Moreover, the spectators were massed over the course in.many places, recoiling just enough to.JeaVe a lane for each car’s passage, and so Imposing another anxiety upon Che drivers who knew ♦he swerve of a foot must bring death to some one. . “Car behind.” Floyd** clear accents gave the familiar cautions, from time to time. “He's tryin' to get us before the turn.

There w;ae a bridge, back there, across a shallow running brook shut in by a strip of autumn-tinted woodland. "Car ahead!” Floyd cried suddenly, as they rushed around a curve and bore down op the crossing. "Look out —Stanton—” In the center of the bridge was a reeling, staggering car, coming to a halt and striving to maintain its equi­ librium meanwhile. The chain had ' broken loose, its driver afterward ex­ plained, and was lashing tbe under­ mechanism to scrap metal. Seeing too late to stop his own machine, Stanton* took the only chance of saving any of tbe four lives and tried to twist past the other car on the narrow bridge. Only a master-driver would have at­ tempted the feat; Stanton carried it to the verge of success. They ware along side, passing, whan the edge cf the wooden bridge gave way under tbe double strain. There was the rip of splintering planks. as the Mercury** outside wheels crushed through the flooring, a shuddering lurch. "Jump!” Stanton shouted his vain command to Fioyd. as they went down. The cool water lapped around his A Linen-Clad Nurse Stood Beside Him. fingers, trickled revivingly across his intolerably painful arm. gurgling like a joyous voice as it passed by him. Slowly, with infinite effort, Stanton dragged himself up upon the other arm, the uninjured right He must see: that was the Imperious cry of brain and heart, to see. It seemed to him years ago that the Mercury had gone off the bridge, yet he knew the time could be but moments, since the ambulance had not come and he was still here. His vision was clearing. Yea; there, half in the dainty brook, half on tbe green bank, lay the heap of bent and broken metal that had been tbe Mercury racing car. And beside. When he drove back the faintnesr that blackened the bright noon, Stan­ ton began to drag his pain-racked body toward what lay beside the Mer­ cury. Movement hurt, hurt unbear­ ably, yet was a less anguish than thought For he knew, knew the mechanician seldom escapes. Floyd lay near the machine, un­ marred to outward view except for a cut over fils temple and a stain of blood on his lips. His mask and cap were gone, one hand was flung out palm up­ ward, and the torn sleeve left bare tbe slim arm crossed by the zigsag scar gained at Lowell. He looked very young and strangely grave, as the sun­ light. and tree-shadows flickered back and forth across bis colorless face and shining bronze waves of hair. "Fioyd,” Stanton articulated hoarse­ ly. "Floyd!" The brook gurgled cheerfully, a be­ lated oriole flashed past a streak d fane. Stanton's bead sank back down against bls mechanician’s inert Tbe pace maintained was the fastest hand, and the world fell out of knowlat which the Mercury could be held to the road.

She lighted the small oil lamps that stood on the marble top of the ball buffet, placed her coat and hat on the carved rack, and peered closely into the great mirror. "Tomorrow Is Christmas, and your birthday," she whispered accusingly, “and—no one has remembered it! Not one of your nld friends! You are alone.” “Of course.

Up there the woods are full of Christmas trees and the snows are jo deep that snowshoes may be nec­ essary. And in Christmas Tree Land there are vast stretches of nothing but evergreen trees and white snow—and in the snow, if you are versed in woodcraft, you might find the track of a deer and innumerable trails of Brer Rabbit, loading away through the greenery to the quiet, yast places.

So Lucy, scenting mystery, and too diplomatic to ask anything more, was compelled to content herself with that much information. Towards dusk of the day before Christmaa George was seen carrying several bulky bifhdles into the church. Mrs. Gillup had spent some time in conference with him that day. Tho aeven rivals had attempted to quiz her, but she would not gratify their curiosity further than to say that there would be a tree. They had asked her—separately—if she would hang their presents for Lucy on the tree, and she had agreed to do so. She and George, behind the drawn curtains of the church, labored long with curtain poles and string and a profusion of green paper, to say noth­ ing of several bundles of artificial palms and the like, which George had unearthed among hls stock. When the audience was arsembled for the Christmas eve exercises Mrs. Gillup slowly drew back a curtain which concealed one corner ot the room, and there, with candles glowing and green paper and green palm branches rustling, stood a Christmas The sea of hard, strange face* un­ nerved her, and she felt sics and nau­ seated. but she quietly held out her arms for the poor child who lay groan­ ing In the chauffeur** gentle grasp.

Tenderly the body was con­ veyed to the baggage room at the passenger station and Undertaker Charles Lentz-was notified. Justice .but it was not deemed necessary that an Inquest he held, for It has long been known that Mr. Hall was a suf­ ferer from heart trouble, and he has himself for some time past anticipat­ ed that hls end would come thus sud­ denly. In fact, he recently sold hls home in Maple Grove township and moved to Kalamo village, so that he might be close to neighbors and to medical aid. Mr. Hall was one of the earliest -residents of Nashville, coming here practically with the birth of the town. He was a mason by trade, and many of the older buildings of the town still show evidence of hls handicraft. He was a most estima­ ble man in every , respect, a good citizen, a faithful and loving hus­ band, a kindly friend and a good neighbor. Hls passing, in the full­ ness of his years, comes as he might have wished, without grief or pain •to himself, while he will be sincere­ ly mourned by a large circle of Erlends, who will retain nothing but pleasant memories of a friend whom .all leved and respected.

The state law requires hanks to maintain a reserve of only 15 per cent of the deposits, but the fixed policy of this bank is to keep on hand a constant large reserve.

Tbe day of your opportunity is SERVICE CLOTHES In these two words are embodied all the essentials of proper wearing apparel. Service clothes should incorporate reliability of fabric, permanency in fit, shape and construction, correct style, attractiveness in patterning and general durability in wear. That is why we designate our •’Graduate” Hand-Tailored Clothes and “Viking” Guaranteed Clothes for Young Men as expressing to the fullest sense the term “Service Clothes.*’ The convertible overcoat shown in the illustration emphasis­ es this Service idea. Here is an overcoat as good, practical and fashionable for stormy days as it is for fair dags. Just a simple twist of the wrist changes it from the regular styled overcoat of the season to the throat-protecting collar so necessary for-the more severe days. o. m.

VISITED BY GRAND CHIEF. Nashville Temple of Pythian-Sis­ ters was honored Monday evening by an official visit from Grand Chief Mary Lockhead of Flint. There was a large attendance of the members, and the work was conferred on a new member, after which light refresh­ ments were served. Mrs. Lockhead complimented the temple on the ex-i cel lenee of the work and the pros­ perous condition of the organisation. Many new applications are being re­ ceived, and new members are being initiated at every meeting. VOLUNTEERS KIND WORDS. It is such kind words as these, which sometime* come drifting into an editorial sanctum, which makes one think that life is really worth living, after all, and that the strenu­ ous grind week after week is not all in va«n. One often wonders why kind words, which are so easily said and which often mean so much, are not more commonly used. Lancaster. Ohio, Dec. 14, 1912. Mr. Len W. Feighner. Nashville, Mich. Dear Mr. Feighner:—Let me con­ gratulate you on the splendid Christmas issue of the Nashville News. It surely is worthy of the patronage of every citizen in and around Nashville, and of nil those who are prospective cltixena. There are but few towns in this republic, the size of Nashville, that can boast of a better paper, whether they view MRS. D. A. GREEN DEAD. Nashville people learned with sin­ cere regret Tuesday morning of the death of Mrs. D. A. Green, which oc­ curred shortly after midnight. She had been seriously ill for some time; with a complibation of heart and kidney troubles, and her demise was not unexpected. Eunice Elisa Stevens was born at Heuvelton, N. T., in 1849, and came to Nashville in 1874, where she was married on January 14, 1876, to Delos A. Green. To this union two sons were born, one of whom died in infancy, the other. Fay D., sur­ viving. She leaves, besides hus­ band and son, two grandchildren,and two brothers, Martin L. and Herbert Stevens. The funeral will be held from the family residence on Middle street this afternoon at two o’clock. The services will be conducted by Rev. C. F. Smith, pastor of the Evangelical church, and the interment will be at Lakeview cemetery. Mrs. Green had been an invalid for many years, and her death, whUe it comes as a blow to her many friends, brings relief to her from her suffering, which she had endured with great patience and fortitude. Collins S. Lewis, for many years a resident ot Nashville, died at Kala•masoo December 11. aged 72 years. The funeral was held Sunday at the home ot his daughter, Mrs. Wm. D. Irland.

There are many Nashville people who would be glad to see It repeated here, as there are a great many of our people who missed it before who would like to see it, and we have heard several of those who did see it ekpresa the wish to see it again. The reserve of a bank is generally an index to the character of its managment. The state law requires banks to maintain a reserve of only 16 per cent of the deposits, but the fixed policy of this bank is to keep on hand a constant large reserve. The history of banking establishes the fact that banks who have kept a large reserve have always been able to meet every demand of their de­ positors in good times or bad. The reserve held by this bank on day of report to the banking department was near >100,009.00. Farmers & Merchants bank. �December 19. 1913 Thursday LOCAL NKWB.

"I will walk home," she said to herself, with an unconscious grimace toward a passing trolley car already crowded. "I ought to walk more, since that is an exercise which not merely-costa nothing, but Is econ­ omical. Isn't It funny that carfare is something to be saved.!” There was but one pleasant route by which to reach her destination, a small room on the top floor of a board­ ing house, and that was by way of Fifth avenue, a thoroughfare which she usually avoided. Today she en­ tered it courageously. Suppose she might meet some one who would re­ member and recognise her? She could endure the pang of being spoken by an old-time acquaintance. How­ ever, she sighed and then smiled—she had learned to smile bravely—there were more who remembered yet/ailedto recognize. Once a woman whom she had entertained, one of a troop who had passed as friends, had caught her eye and carelessly looked away. Words could not have said more plain­ ly: "You are no longer one of us— why bother about knowing you?” Mrs. Pennington had been bewildered, frightened. Indescribably hurt, and after that day had shunned every haunt of her former life. Even the two or three true friends still surviv­ ing from It she saw but seldom, pre­ ferring not to accept hospitality which she could not return, and. scorning the fringe of a social fabric of which she had once been a shining thread.

The Longing Became irresistible. countered not one acquaintance In all the animated crowd and a sense of se­ curity grew upon her. disarmed her. Sharply, of a sudden, she realized how far her feet had wandered. Be­ fore her rose a typical town bouse, of stone and Iron, so like any other house that in her state of absent­ mindedness she might have passed It heedlessly, had It not been that a striped awning, banner of some social activity, stretched from the doorway to the streeL It caught her eye. And she saw that she was passing the house that had been hers. She had not come near It since the day when It had ceased to be her^ dwelling. It seemed to her that she turned into a living ache. With her eyes fixed upon a distant polnL she forced her way for some hundred feet until the pain had gone, and except for a heavily beating heart, she was herself again. To that house had she come, a bride expectant of the joy of living. In that bouse had she lived all of her wedded life. There had she ostensibly ruled In the midst of luxury. And there, for seven years she had striven to hide from the keen eyes of the world the horror of her marriage, living with feverish gayety in a gay set, smiling In public upon her husband, shielding him, dreading him. It had been a place of bitter disil­ lusionment, and yet a great longing nington was moving among the throng. What she could see of the place showed little change. Evidently .the newcomers had been satisfied with her taste. There was a pretty gfiH pouring tea from a Sheffield pot which bad been an heirloom In her family, at a table which had been a wedding gjft. She accepted a cup of tea. As she had expected, the spoon was from her silver; they had changed the mon­ ogram. It was almost stupefying to look about the room to see all these strangers in her rooms! In absurd resentment she glanced, toward the hostess, just tn time to catch a per­ turbed gleam in the lady’s eye. Without being able to hear a word of what she was saying to someone whose glance was also toward Mrs. Pennington, the latter knew she was suspected. Until that Instant she had fancied herself ready to come forward with ready grace and explain. At that instant she felt every social Instinct and acquirement desert her. In the presence of all the silent symbols of her old life she was unnerved. She droped Into a chair, her cheeks guiltily crimson, wondering what might be about to happen, feeling per­ fectly powerless to cope with what­ ever might be. Ab she seated herself, the chair moved slightly, brushing against a gentleman who had been standing with his back toward IL He turned quickly, glanced at the occu­ pant who was oblivious to him, and stared. In another moment he was exclaim­ ing, in a voice low end moved by some agitation. "Mrs. Pennington! Of all wonders I” She looked up, with a rush of grati­ tude for salvation, to see the one man tn the world whom she bad forbidden to see her. There he was. fastidious । of dreas as ever, clear-skinned, clear­ eyed, holding out a strong, kind hand. | “Mr. Blunt!” she answered, scarcely above her breath. "Where have you been hiding?” he exclaimed. "People have forgotten that you are alive—all but me.’* She smiled. "I work for my living now, which means that 1 am not for society, nor society for mo. I work in an office. I was on my way home when, quite accidentally, I dropped in here.” "In an office!" he repeated, amazed. "You. Mrs. Pennington! But—how fortunate for me—I didn’t know you knew the Barbers." "I don’t,” she replied, and to his amusement accounted for her pres­ ence. "I think you have saved ’me from ejectmenL” she concluded. "I know they were doubtful of me." For a moment he could not trust himself to speak. Then, "I don’t come hereoften—becauseof the associations. There are associations for me, too." He was looking straight at her and she could not meet his eyes. Mrs. Pennington remembered their last meeting. He had chanced to come upon herself and her husband during a wretched scene. Chivalry had prompted him to her defense. All In­ voluntarily her eyes had answered with gratitude. Pity on his part had been succeeded by a deeper feeling. Once he betrayed this, and she sent him from her presence. With a white face, he had accepted the rebuke and never erred again. In her great mis­ ery she had been able to forget him. to forget that she longed sometimes to see him. “You were unkind once.” he said in a low tone. "1 do not wonder. But in the time that has passed, have you forgiven me?” She was silent, and he added, "Per­ haps you have not thought of me at all?" “I have thought of you,” she said, "as a memory that I would not re­ linquish.” "Think of me, not as memory, but as a man.” 3he smiled. "It Is all a memory now, my former life and associations." "But it may become reality again.” She rose. ‘T must go. Dinner at my boarding house is served at sixthirty, and who comes late fares the He moved with her toward the hos­ tess whose perplexity, as she spoke a parting word, was not v.holly bidden by smiles. "You are sure to be late this evening." he said, as Mrs. Pen­ nington was about to withdraw. "Won’t you dine with me?” She hesitated, murmured her ad­ dress and fled. With what grief had she viewed her old home, with what longing and wist­ fulness entered it, and now with what joy she was speeding from it! Surely Fate had led her steps that day. That night she dined' In a fashiona­ ble restaurant for the first time in two years, wearing a wonderful gown Imported from Paris two years before and never worn.

Fate willed It that s certain grocery the grocer lifted up his voice end shouted at his delivery boy: . “What’s the package on the coun­ ter?" "Tea, I guess," replied the boy. “Yes, and you left it there from your last delivery, you careless wretch. It should have gone with Mrs. White’s order. Take It and hustler* The boy seised the package and ran. He jumped from the door with­ out regard to pedestrians, and he struck young Benedict In the shoul­ der and knocked him Into the gutter. Ab he went down, the victim cut his hand on some object carelessly thrown out, and a man paused long enough to wrap a handkerchief around It and '"Better get to the drug store around the corner. That’s a rather bad cut” The wounded man was looking for the place. At the corner he asked a woman waiting for a car to redirect him, and the moment the woman caught sight of hl* bloody hand she uttered a scream and started to run. A fool thing io do! Fifty men heard that scream and stopped dead stilt "There! There!" she cried as she pointed at young Benedict. . That waa enough. Th* fifty made a rush for him, and fifty more came up. There was but one Interpretation to be put on the fool-woman’s words. They didn't give him time to explain —even to hold up bls bleeding hand. Most of hla clothing was torn off In five minutes, and then he was beaten down, and there were cries for a rope to lynch him. Peaceful and law-abid­ ing citlxens became human tigers al­ most In a moment. • Miss Hope Guest was motoring to town to do some shopping.

Sol Smith used often to tell of his adventures when as a boy he first in­ vaded the theater, according to the Green Book. On one occasion he con­ trived to make his way behind the scenes and unperceived hid himself In a large box. which he found in the carpenter's gallery, and closed the lid. For more than an hour he lay con­ cealed, waiting for the curtain to go up. When It did he was delighted to find that by lifting the cover of the box he could see all that was going on below. The play was "Richard HI.” and all went well till the second act, when he heard four or five men making their way directly to his hid­ ing place. Sol had barely time to close the lid when they took, up the box and pro­ fanely remarking on its great weight, proceeded to take King Henry** cof­ fin downstairs.

She is perfectly intol­ erant about it She is constantly talk­ ing about germs and microbes. Since I am confessing all my shortcomings. I will admit that I don’t believe in mi­ crobes. anyway. They’re far too small. Frances does, though. Oh, dear, yes, she does. "She simply can't sit down and read happily unless the house has been thoroughly swept and garnished. I can do St without a tremor. I can leave dishes unwashed until every dish in the house has been used and not feel a qualm. Frances has the dishes round­ ed up and washed so quickly after they have been used that she leaves you with a defraufled feeling, as though you had been done out of part of your meal. "The morning after she came I saw her eying the living room curtains, which I must confess were not im­ maculate. "’Don’t look at those curtains. Frances,’ I said. In my merry, light­ hearted way. 1 know they're not very clean, but Tm going to have the laundress wash* and iron them Mon­ day.’ "Frances half opened her mouth, then shut it again. I wondered at the time why she didn’t say whatever it was she had on her mind, but later in the day I found out. " 'Mother,* she said, tactfully— Francis is very tactful—that afternoon when we were sitting in the living room having what I considered a coxy little chat, .'I’ve been wondering if it wouldn't be nicer If we should get some curtain stretchers and stretch the curtains on them Instead of hav­ ing the laundress wash and iron them.’ "To make a long story short, she dragged me downtown that very after­ noon and we bought curtain stretch­ ers. The next morning, with her own hands, she washed those curtains, Oh. there Is no doubt that she is wonder­ ful. I stand in the greatest awe of any one who can wash things clean. 1 never could. They’re always much worse when I finish with them than when I began. "After the curtains were arranged to suit her I happened to mention that I had some material which I intended to make Into comforters when the spirit moved me. Again speaking metaphorically, she fell upon that ma­ terial tooth and nail. Then for days she and I struggled and perspired amid billows of cotton. “When one morning she accidental­ ly gpened the door of the chamber of horiors I thought she was going to faint. The chamber of horrors, by the way. Is the room into which It is the time honored custom of the family to pitch everything that the family wishes to rid itself of. Personally, I get along very nicely by simply shutting\ny eyes, opening the door slight­ ly and shying in the article. Then after the door is shut I have no fur­ ther qualms. But Frances got quite white when she looked In. She made me feel—she did It tactfully—that no decent, self-respecting woman could exist in a house with a chamber of horrors. So together we pulled and hauled and worked and suffered and threw things away and hau a perfect­ ly horrible time generally, but we fine­ ly emerged in that pathetic and despicable condition called "as neat as a pin.' "It took us days to do it and we were both nearly dead when We got through. But the very next morning after we finished, if you can believe me, I found her with her head out of the window and the air of a hound that is. just getting the scent She was listening to a vacuum cleaner that was chugging across the street! ’"Oh, mother,* she said, Tm going out to see if those men can't come to­ morrow.’ "Frances,* I said, *you wUl do noth­ ing of the kind. I positively refuse to be any cleaner than I am. From now to the end of your visit I intend to have my kind of a good time even If there isn’t a floor swept or a dish washed.’ "I did It," said Mrs. Darlington, gloatingly. "I kept Frances whirling in a perfect vortex of matinees and luncheons and afternoon teas and I had a beautiful time. But I relented the day before she went away and let her clean up the hous« for me. "Frances is a dear girl." Mrs. Dar­ lington declared finally, "but she cer­ tainly has a weird idea of having a good time!"—-Chicago Dally News. Poultry Diseases.

A linen-clad nurse stood beside him. and at the toot of the bed was a gentleman, un­ mistakably medical. "Better. Mr. Stanton?” queried the latter, breezily professional. “Floyd Y’ Stanton whispered, with difficulty. "Where is Jes Floyd?” • The doctor surveyed him oddly, hes­ itating. But the nurse stooped over him, her expression altering to impul­ sive compassion. "Well, very well.” she assured hasti­ ly. "Jes Floyd has gone home.

Stanton quietly turned his face to the wall and falnt- In his next conscious Interval, he put another demand. "Miss Floyd? She Is alive?" "Yes, oh yes,” the nurse heartily-af­ firmed. "Yes, indeed." . Once more Stanton turned to the wait Jessica had not died when Jes did, then, according to her prediction; the tie of kinship had not held so far. She was tn the little apartment, alone. Later In the night his steady, silent gaze drew the attendant to his side. "What is It? You are suffering more?" "Ask her to stop singing,” he begged. "It wasn’t my faulL Ask i*er to stop." The nurse took a glass from the table. "There is no one singing. Mr. Stan­ ton, no one at alL Drink this." "No one? Not out there in the dark?" "No." ’ He averted his gaze, and remained mute, unprotesting. After that he never lost memory again; not even In sleep, for he dreamed. Day and night, hour after hour, Jessica's mo­ notonous song beat through his sick brain. "Oft, In the stilly night—" Hla nights were not still, always when he closed his eyes he heard some one sobbing, Jessica Floyd weep­ ing for her brother. , But gradually the last traces of de­ lirium faded oul Slowly his superb health reasserted Its dominion and brought Stanton back to norma! life. The fractured bones knit, the other Injuries healed. He never spoke Floyd’s name a sec­ ond time. Nor did any one mention it to him. The head of the Mercury Company came out from New York io see him and express cordial sympathy. George, who had driven the Duplex to victory after the Mercury’s wreck, came to visit him more than once, a blonde, cheery presence; as did the driver of the machine on the bridge who owned his own life to Stanton's cool fearlessness and skill. Mr. Green brought his fussy condolence. But none of them alluded to Jes Floyd. There was a curious constraint that marked them -all. an air of watch­ fully keeping silent upon some sub­ ject constantly present In their minds. Stanton looked them through and through with bls hollow blue-black eyes, and asked nothing. It was two months before he could leave the hospital. Winter bad shut tn. raw and bleak. The day fixed for his departure, the doctor lingered in bidding him good-by. “I have not wanted you to be wor­ ried, Mr. Stanton,” he said bruskly. "Not on any account. But from the fact that your first question was ’Jes Floyd?' I imagine* you feel some re­ sponsibility in that matter. May I ask Where you are going?” Before the spoken name Stanton winced, but steadily met the other's inquisitive eyes. "To Miss Floyd,” he responded. The doctor held out a hearty hand. "Good, I was sure of ft! A patient shows a lot of bis character to his physician. Good luck to you—all kinds.” How did be know of unprotected Jes­ sica Floyd? Stanton wearily pondered the question as be descended to the carriage. Or rathtft*. how did he know ot Stanton's feeling of responsibility toward her? The mechanician was supposed to take his chance with the driver. Perhaps delirium had revealed the close bond of friendship between Floyd and himself. At the railroad station. a tall young man approached him, as the train whistled in the distance. “My name is Richards." be an­ nounced diffidently. "You’re hardly on your feet yet. Mr. Stanton; if there gtanton surveyed him with blank panion give me the story." Stanton put out ht* hand, the poign­ ant memory unendurable. "It gave me my start.

The next moment I would have undone It If I could." There was a pause, as the train halt­ ed at a station, and the usual flurry of egress and lagresu ensued. When the start was made: "Why are you telling me this?" Stanton asked. "I am not considered especially amiable and forgiving, as a rule; why chance unnecessary con­ fession T’ "No,” her lip bent In a faint smile that was not mirthful. "But you are too masculine to retaliate upon a woman. I am not much afraid, al­ The reporter beamed at him, radiant. "I knew it,” he called, above the roar and clang of the starting train.

September sunlight, Oc­ tober crimson and gold, all gone. A delicate fragrance drifted around him, there was the frou-frou of soft garments as some one took the seat facing him. Stanton looked up, and saw Valerie Carlisle opposite, her blond fairness framed In dark vel­ vets and fun, her amber eyes regard­ ing him from beneath the shadow of her wide plumed.baL "There is nothing at all singular In my being here, Mr. Stanton.” she stat­ ed, In her cool, Indolent voice. ."Be­ cause I ascertained bj telephone when you intended to leave the hospital, and so arranged to meet you on the train.

(Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary TOOK AEROPLANE FOR ENEMY French Birds Investigated Strange Creature of the Air and Appear Satisfied. An extraordinary Instance of the in­ telligence of birds forms the subject of a letter received by the French ministry of agriculture from an In­ spector of forests. Some time ago the inspector re­ ceived complaints from sportsmen that quail and partridges had become scarce in certain districts. On exam­ ining the matter he found the birds bad deserted the regions in which acrodomcs had been Installed. Seem­ ingly they took the monoplanes and. biplanes for enormous birds of pey. Finding after some time, however, that their ranks were not thinned by the strange creatures hovering over­ head, partridges and quail dispatched scouts to the nerodomes to examine the air craft at close quarters. The result of the Investigations of these feathered envoys was evidently reas­ suring, for the birds returned to their former haunts and the preserves around Le Mans and Rheims are now as well stocked as formerly. “Our Guests," He Corrected.

Wol­ cott & Son. The Scheldt building on the east side of Main street is being fitted up for*temporary quarters for the Naah­ ville club, pending the reconstruc­ tion of the club house. The tem­ porary quarters are being cleaned out, freahiy painted and newly pa­ pered and will be ready for occupan­ cy before the end of the week. The northeast corner of the Nash­ ville club building, the wall of which split during the recent fire, is being taken dovn and will be relald Im­ mediately if the weather continues mild. The contract for rebuilding the structure has not yet been let, but the trustee* thought better to have this part of the work done at once, for fear that severe weather might interfere with Its being done later.

Hatch, Smith, Dunne, Wolfe and Lord were pre­ sent. The taking of a religious census of Nashville by the pastors of the Union waa unanimously vot­ ed, and the necessary committees were appointed. The matter ot a union watch-night service was tak­ en up and decision wa* reached to hold such a service at the Evangeli­ cal church. After the transaction of the necessary business Mr. Shattuck gave a very enthusiastic and timely address on "The Present Conditions and Needs of tho Church." He painted very vividly the worldly tendencies and spirit of tbe present day church communions. There is by far more worldliness than spirit­ uality in our midst; more people in­ side our churche* who are money, pleasure, society and popularity seeker* than true Christ seekers, consequently the preacher who voices his true convictions in the pulpit is in danger of losing his opportunity to preach to cultured and moneyed people. Notwithstanding this fact, we preachers must stand on the word of God which condems worldliness in no uncertain terms, and proclaim that truth, let consequences be what they may. After this suggestive ad­ dress a very spirited discussion arose among the matter* therein touched upon. M. E. Church Notice#. Last Wednesday evening the young people of the M. E. church were roy­ ally entertained att he home of Miss Ila Remington. The occasion was the regular monthly business and social meeting of the Epworth League. The evening was spent in transacting business, enjoying the de­ lightful refreshments and participat­ ing In games and social Intercourse. Next Sunday the pastor will preach on "Some Reflections on the Incarna­ tion." The Sunday school, under the leadership of John Lake, will discuss "Our Attitude toward those who are not opposing Christian work under the title of "For and Against Him.” We are glad to see the young men coming to Mr. Glasgow’s class, orga­ nized especially for them. An earn­ est invitation is extended to all young men of the Methodist congregation. At the six o’clock service Mr. C. L. Glasgow will lead In the discus­ sion of "The Transfiguration"—a Christmas meditation. All young people and others will be warmly welcomed at this service.

The Methodist Sunday school will hold their annual Christmas exercis­ es Christmas eve, Tuesday evening. Holiness Church. Sunday was a good day at the Hol­ iness church, good congregation, searching truth, an excellent spirit. We extend to the non-church going people of the town and community a special Invitation to attend the ser­ vices with us. Bible Holiness Seminary, located at Owosso, Mich., is doing good work under the management ot Rev. Wm. O. Nease. The student body is not large, however it Is substantial. The school is free from every vice. This year they are opening an industrial department in connection with the school. This department is engaged in manufacturing shirts, overalls and brooms, giving young men and wom­ en, who have limited means and yet desire an education, an opportunlty to work their way through school. "Some one has very aptly said that God can get along without our wis­ dom." He can also get along nicely without our ignorance.

SERVICE CLOTHES In these two words are embodied all the essentials of proper wearing apparel. Service clothes should incorporate reliability" of fabric, permanency in fit, shape and construction, correct style, attractiveness in patterning and general durability in wear. That is why we designate our •‘Graduate” Hand-Tailored Clothes and “Viking” Guaranteed Clothes for Young Men as expressing to the fullest sense the term “Service Clothes.” The convertible overcoat shown in the illustration emphasiz­ es this Service idea. Here is an overcoat as good, practical and fashionable for stormy days as it, is for fair days. Just a simple twist of the wrist changes it from the regular styled overcoat of the season to the throat-protecting collar so necessary for the more severe days.

Commencing January First, Pack­ ages of Merchandise up to Eleven Pounds May go by MaiL rjpHE way a man uses money- makes it, saves it, spends it —is perhaps one of the best tests of character. Money should not be regarded as the principal end of life, nor should it be regarded with contempt, for it represents to a great extent the means of mental and physical comfort. The finest qualities of human nhture are related to the right use of money—generosity, honesty, justice and self­ sacrifice. Making money—to know where you make it, when you make it and why you make it—requires business system.

BROWN, Pharmacist DRUGS NUMBER 19 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1912 I VOLUME XL WALL PAPER BOOKS Don’t Fail to Hear the New Records VON W. FURNISS The Nashville postoffice has re­ ceived it parcels post map and its copy of the parcels post regulations and rate book, by which it will be possible to determine the rates of postage on merchandise under the new law for the various distances. Practically all merchandise comes under the new law, except that packages weighing four ounces or less will go at the rate of one cent per ounce or fraction, without regard to distance. Everything in the merchandise line, over four ounces, comes under the parcels post, and must be mall ed under parcels post stamps, which are different from the ordinary post­ age stamps. The country is arranged in zones or circles, radiating from Nashville as center. The rates in the first zone, which includes all the ter­ ritory embraced within fifty miles of Nashville, or within the 30 minute squares which are intersected by the outer circle of the zone, are 5 cents for the first pound and three cents for each additional pound. Except that matter mailed at Nashville for "delivery in Nashville or on any of the rural routes running out from Nash­ ville, or mailed at any point on such route or delivery in Nashville or at any other point on any of the rural route for delivery in Nashville or at to pay one cent per pound extra for additional pounds after the first pound. So a package of elevei pounds may be mailed in Nashville to go out on a Nashville route, or Nashville or any of its routes, for 15 Nashville or any of its routes, for 15 cents. The first zone from Nashville takes in Grand Rapids, Jackson, and all towns within fifty miles of Nashville, and even some towns quite a bit out­ side of fifty miles. The second zone takes in all of the lower peninsula of Michigan, except a few counties just south of the straits. Traverse City, for instance, being Just outside of the second zone, while Chicago. Milwaukee and many Ohio and Indiana towns are inside of the second zone. The second zone rate is 6 cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each additional pound The third zone includes the larger part of the upper peninsula of Michi­ gan, a large part of Wisconsin. Illi­ nois and Ohio, although not all of any of these states. The third zone rate is 7 cents for the first pound and five cents for each additional pound. The fourth zone extends eastward nearly, but not quite to New York City, although it takes in practically all the state of New York as well as Pennsylvania, Maryland. Virginia and West Virginia, all of Kentucky and Tennessee, ail of lewa, and nearly all of Missouri and Minnesota, and takes In the balance of the upper peninsula of Michigan. The rate in the fourth zone Is 8 cents for the first pound and elx cents tor each additional pound. The fifth zone has rates of 9 cents for the first pound and 7 cents for each additional pound. It Include* all of New England, all of the far south, except the tip of Florida and reaches into Wyoming and Colorado The sixth zone with rates of 10 cents for the first pound and 9 cents for each additional pound reaches the Rocky mountains and includes Salt Lake City. The seventh zone with rates of 11 cents for the first pound and 10 cents for each additional pound extenda in­ to California, Oregon and Washing­ ton, but does not reach the coast. San Francisco, Seattle and Port­ land are in the eighth and last zone and take rates of 12 cents for the first pound and 12 cents for each ad­ ditional pound. No parcel weighing more than eleven pounds will be accepted, and the slxe limit is 72 inches in length and girth combined. No package Is mailable which is in form or kind likely to injure the person of any postal employee or damage the mail equipment or other mail matter, or of a chairactor perishable wltalu a period reasonably required for trans­ portation and delivery. Parcels must be prepared for mail­ ing in such manner that the contents can be easily examined; must bear the name and address of the sender,, preceded by the word "From. ’ Must not contain matter of any other class except tjiat permissible under the parcels post law. Parcels post matter may be insur­ ed against loss in an amount equiva­ lent to Its actual value, but not to exceed |50, on payment of a fee of ten cents, a special insurance stamp being used for that purpose. Tape measures, sone maps and parcel? post guides will be added to the equipment of rural mall carriers January 1. Rural carriers will pick up packages on their 'routes and de­ liver them to the stations from which their courses start. The carrier up to the present time hate not b^-en provided with scales, but they w>|l collect parcels and take them to the postoffices from which the goods will be sent. Patrons may give t’:z car­ riers the approximate cost of sending parcels and the postman will have stamps affixed to the packages upon their return to their offices.

Harley Hayman Caught by Fly-.Wheel of Gasoline Engine, Losing Thumb and Bones of Hand. With his hand caught between the frame and the fly-wheel Of his gaso­ line engine and the spokes of the whirling wheel pounding his hand to a pulp, Harley Hayman un­ derwent an experience Friday which he will shudder over for years to come. The wheel revolved so rap­ idly that It was all he could do, ex­ erting all his strength, to keep his arm from being drawn In, and he was unable to extricate himself un­ til help arrived and the engine was stopped. • The accident occurred at the farm of Ca|. Charltob, in the west part of Maple Grove, where workmen were baling hay. The gasoline engine was the property of Harley, who had but receutly purchased It, and he was running it himself. He does not know how the accident occurred. All he is able to tell Is that he was working around the engine and the first thing he knew was that his left hand was in the wheel and be was straining to keep his wrist and arm from following. The thumb was completely torn out, and a number of bones in the back of the hand were broken, some of them so badly that the bits of bone were forced out of the opening where the thumb had gone. None of the fingers were torn off. and It is hoped that they may all be saved, although they are likely to be somewhat crippled. Every bone in the back of the hand was broken. Dr. E. T. Morris was called, and as both the other Nashville physi­ cians were in Assyria on another case. Dr. Morris had to get help from Hastings to help him fix up the in­ jured member. The hand was clean­ ed and fixed up in the best manner possible and the physicians hope that the balance of the hand except the thumb may be saved and become a useful member. Harley was brought to the home of his father, George Hayman, Saturday, and is bearing popular up splendidly. He L 7~. ‘ young man in the community, apd has a host of friends who hope that he will soon be around again. THE SPAFFORDS. An Extra Number on the Entertain­ ment Course to Wind up the Old Because the J.ones Concert compa­ ny, the first number on the entertain­ ment course, failed to come up to the high quality expected of It, an extra number Is being put into the course. This number will be furnish­ ed on Tuesday evening of next week, the last night in 1912, and the night following the leqture by D. Lee Fitz­ patrick. This was the only open date for the Spaffords, which was the one entertainment the committee really wanted as the extra number. The entertainment will be practical­ ly free to holders of season tickets, they being asked to pay five cents for each person, which will be sufficient to pay for the use of the opera house for the evening. The Spaffords are a versatile couple, Mr. Spafford having had tor years a wide reputation as an artist of the platform, and Mrs. Spafford being well known as "Miss Heine, the original Lyceumlto Girl.” The en­ tertainment consists of cartoon and landscape drawing, music on foreign and ancient instruments, fire pictures, sculpture and clay modeling, humor and pathos. The admission price for those not holding season tickets will be 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children under twelve. For all per­ sons holding season tickets, only five cents. D. LEE FITZPATRICK. Next Monday evening, as the third number on the Nashville entertain­ ment course, comes D. Lee Fitzpat­ rick, who comes highly recommended as a lecturer and entertainer. Press notices and Individual recommenda­ tions of high praises are presented as assurances of his quality, and the committee feels that they have made no mistake in bringing Mr. Fitzpat­ rick to Nashville. To those not hold­ ing course tickets, the admission price will be 25c for adults and 15 cents for children. NEW MASONIC OFFICERS. At the regular meeting of Nash­ ville lodge. No. 255, F. k k.

The Jury wasout all night and-finally decided the next day that they were unable to agree, which probably means another trial, although there are people who fig­ ure that jLe case will now be dropped. Our thanks are due to our loyal customers of the past year. For the year 1913 we pledge you the same courteous treatment, the same con­ servative management, the same care for your interests that they have had the past year. To one and all, we wish an increased measure of happiness and prosperity for the year 1913. State Savings bank. Mr. and Mrs. F. K.

Ah! Here is an address/1 and Bob placed the envelope in his pocket and went down to,the street . An hour later Bob was ushered into a suite of rooms in an apart­ ment house throe miles away. An old lady and a young one arose to greet him. "Mr. Jones—you are prompt." said the elder lady, bolding his card in her hand. The younger one, his office visitor, looked at him with interest, but strangely. "Mr. Jones, yes." said Bob with a forced smile, "but not the Mr. Jones for whom these documents were in­ tended." And then Bob told of the other Jones, of his absence, and hand­ ed the lady the envelope. "Aunty,” almost whispered the young lady, "may I speak to you for a moment?” Bob sat fidgetting in his seat It was the young lady who finally re­ turned, alone. She brought back the packet “Mr. Jones," she said, her voice trembling slightly, “I am Marion Bell, the niece of the lady you have just seen. I have spoken to my aunt and my mistake may not be a mistake after all. We must' have a lawyer at once; the other Mr. Jones is away, and —will you take the case?” "You will trust me, a stranger—" began Bob. choking up. "Yes," she replied, "because—be-, cause I know you need a client and because that dreadful temptation, your mother’s prayer, have told me to be— be your friend. Have I said too much?” It was a simple case. A miserly old fellow in the city had some papers cf the greatest importance in a law­ suit involving the estate of Miss Bell.

That dread­ ful moment wlyfa—but that will al­ ways be our secret. The sweet moth­ er's prayer drove all the fear and temptation away." "And you appeared, an angel on the threshold," said Bob.

Her eyes told him he might speak, her lips Invited the lover’s kiss, and Bob knew that the full glorious dawn had come at last! • Counting, Reading and Special Diet Are Suggested as Helpful for the Wooer of Slumber. A sufferer from insomnia retails a number of counsels he bas received, of which the first comes from the poet M. Leconte, who says: “Open your window wide. Lie with your head as low as possible and you will sleep like a post" "Accustom yourself to take an hour or two's rest in a deck chair after every meal." writes another. "Take down from your shelves some old-fash­ ioned novel of which you have an af­ fectionate remembrance as one of the joys of your youth and read it while you are on your deck chair. The moi a you are wearied by It the better you will sleep. The secret of a good night is not to tire yourself out tn the eve­ ning, but to idle away the time. “An Important point, though a diffi­ cult one, Is to avoid any dread of in­ somnia. Personally i derive benefit from calculating the multiples of two or three as far as I can go.

In lite Joshua had been a great trial to his wife. He was a carpenter, -and a good carpenter, when they were mar­ ried. He had bulk their little home himself, and presented it to Mary Ann on her wedding day. “That's how I come to still own It," she said th,e day she told me about, the altar' cluth. “Josh would a* sold it long ago if it hadn't been all mine..
