The Beginning of Volume Two. With this number the Joiirnal-Herald begins the second year of its Joint existence. With the beginning of volume two we take opportunity to thank the peo­ ple of this city and county for the generous support they have given the Journal-Herald. We have worked faithfully to give our readers a good, reliable, clean and up-to-date news­ paper. That we have succeeded to a leasonable degree is evidenced *by the growth of the paper. We hope and in­ tend to make the Journal-Herald bet­ ter in its second year than in its first, and w-» are counting upon our friends to help us in this purpose by their pat­ ronage and by their influence. The larger our circulation, the better pa­ per we can make. And so, in entering upon another year we are actuated by thankfulness to the people of this city and county j for their support in the past, and by a , determination to deserve an even more . prosperous year than the past by working constantly for the best and I truest Interests of all the people.

E. church last Friday night to listen to the opening entertainment of the lecture course by the Ladies’ Spanish Orchestra and Morgan Jone*, The only thing Span­ ish about the orchestra was the name, unless it might be the fanciful cos­ tumes worn by the young ladies of the company. But even though they were Ameri­ can girls, they proved themselves very capable of giving a high grade, popular concert All of them showed talent and skill in the use of their sev­ eral instruments. The program was sufficiently varied to suit all tastes, from the Offenbach overture to the latest thing in rag time. Mr. Morgan Jone* added greatly to the success of the concert by his solo work. Taking the entertainment al­ together it was highly enjoyable and formed an auspicious opening of the course. The States’ Dinner.

Hastings .Improvement .Association Will Be Name and General Wel­ fare the Purpose. About fifty business and profession­ al men met at Jamieson's restaurant Thursday night, and after partaking of one of their host's excellent sup­ pers, proceeded to organize an asso­ ciation. Chairman F. R. Pancoast called the meeting to order and after stating that the object of the meeting was to complete the organization of an association, asked M. L. Cook, of the committee to draft a constitution and by-laws, to make his report. Mr. Cook thereupon read a tentative constitution, which was discussed at length and after some changes had been made, adopted. The discussion developed the fact that there was considerable diver­ gence of opinion a* to the objects of the organization. Some thought that membership ought to be limited to business and professional residents of the city, others that every reputable citizen should be permitted to join and that even the farmers should be included. The latter view was adopt­ ed, the provision for membership be­ ing broad enough to include all class of citizens who might wish to join. The matter of membership fee and dues also brought out much discus­ sion. It was finally voted to make the admission fee $3.00 and the dues 50 cents a month. The name adopted for the society was "The Hastings Improvement As­ sociation." After the constitution had been adopted, Mr. Barnes, of the Barnes Vacuum Cleaner Company, made a statement to the meeting in which he showed that the business of the con­ cern had outgrown its facilities for manufacturing, end that something would have to be done to meet the sit­ uation. It was suggeMed that the building now occupied by the motor shaft company might be available after that factory move* to Jackson. It was voted to be the sense of the association that such aid ns was prac­ ticable should be extended to the Barnes people, and a committee was appointed to (take the matter in hand and see what could be done. On motion the temporary chairman and secretary were continued in these positions until the annual meeting in January and A. E. Mulholland was cbosen vice-president and Geo. Miller treasurer. The meeting then adjourned sub­ ject to the call of the officers. Pomona Grange Elected Officers Pomona grange was royally enter­ tained by Maple Leaf grange at Maple Grove center last Friday.

Micrococcus radiatus, streptococcus, mlroeoecus, and a prodigious number of eggs of taenie were found to be the common Inhabitants of the finger ends of general servants, grocers’ as­ sistants, and others who had to han­ dle food.

Many Farmer* Realize That When Hoge Are Taken Sick the Case Demands Quick Action.

Hogs are subject to but few diseases, and these are malignant, ; epidemic or contagious of the most serious type.

T KIDNEY PILLS ACHE KIDNEYS AMP SLA DDES N using disinfectants and the general care. Many farmers realise that when hogs are taken sick the care demands immediate attention If they expect to save any of their hogs. Some farm­ ers are very careless and wait till the disease Is well started, and even then do not pretend to follow direc­ tions. It Is surprising that these careless farmers save any of their begs after disease starts. All these facts simply go to prove that the sensible way Is to handle your hogs in such a way as to pre­ vent disease. Build up and improve the constitutional strength. This Is what will save you great loss from hog cholera. When your hogs are elck with the worst kind of hog chol­ era we do not believe anything will help them, and the safer way in such cases Is to take an ax and kill them at once, and then burn the remains. This Is for the malignant form of hog cholera. In a majority of cases they do not have this very fatal form, and they can be cured with the proper treatment. ‘ Sets Strawberries Late.

And with that consciousness, she again ■ought to free herself; but, for an In­ stant the arms held tighter, while a dark face bent close, scanning her features, then abruptly he released her. "Your Ladyship Is uninjured F’ “Yes; yes!” “One moment!" Turning, be left her, and walking to the verge of that open space, searched quickly the waste of darkness below, far out to sea. The girl’s glance followed him; wavered; her first apprehension awoke anew. Her father! Where was he? She clasped her hands despairingly as she gased down the Mount; then around her. Suddenly, a bright patch of light—open doorway to the church— caught her eye and she started. At the picture, framed by the masonry, which the glow revealed, a low excla­ mation fell from her lips, and crossing the platform, and descending a few steps, she ran to the entrance of the sacred edifice. “Eh, your Excellency; has your Ex­ cellency any orders?’’ sounded a voice. There, before an altar. In the dim flicker of candles and the variegated gleaming from the ancient stainedglass windows, she saw at last him she sought; in one of the chapels, near the white marble monument to her mother, was his Excellency; but, not alone! Before him stood, or half crouched, the man Sanches, who now was speaking. “Shall I ring for your Excellency’s servants and have the noise stopped?” Grotesquely he bowed, the while watch­ ing like an animal studying its prey. “Seppo! Whore are you—fat rascal? Consign thane swine to the gibbets! What! You can’t obey because your earn have been cot off and your throat ■lit? That’s too bad!** fiercely the man laughed; then waved his arm toward the window, as If calling the Governor's attention to the sounds of demolition; the abrupt breaking of glass! Patter! Patter! Merry little bullets, presents from the people, your Excellency! Metayage, your High­ ness!" Still the other said no word; a fig­ ure, so motionless and white. It seemed but a wraith pausing at the ■Ide of its own “narrow house.’’ A louder clamor without; a more vivid brightness of the red, yellow and purple hues, like a sudden wealth of strange flowers strewn on the marble -^ogr, and again Sanches laughed. "Tbw^.bad! But *tls I who must pay first?\^JKhoowe so much!.. .Has your ExceUencynls' strong “box with him? Ah, he leans on it! Such a fine one, all of marble! Not easily broken into—or out of!

Held to the spot by tbe abrupt ter­ ror and fascination of tbe scene, the RQX’TO -UMirsKS “The Baa tile! Our Bastile!" And again a shower of bullets, di­ rected In hatred, fell upon the church, because its windows were priceless; shone with saints of inestimable value! In the chapel, an aumbry and a piscina were struck; around the Governor, glass began to clatter and break into bits on the pavement, when suddenly he wavered; bis hand sought his heart, then felt for and dung to tbe monument, as If abruptly seek­ ing support. “Why did you do It, Seigneur?’* As my lady, exclaiming wildly, ran to her father, Sanches, from where he lay, looked up to bls master. “Call out, I mean? Not that it mat­ ters much now!” His Implacable glance, swerving to the Governor, lighted with satisfaction. “The people have paid. And ’twas I—showed them the way!” “It was you, then—who broke faith In tbe negotiations for the exchange of prisoners F* A smile came to the face of the old servant. "I had to,” he said simply. “I alone am to blame. No one knew; except, perhaps, the poet, who may have surmised! It was treachery for treachery!" with sudden fierceness. “You could not have done it, nor your father, nor any of the seigneurs be­ fore him!" The young man seemed scarcely to bear; his glance had again sought my lady. "But I am only a servant—and in dealing with a viper I used its own tricks! Did you think I had forgotten those stripes? Or the blow he gave your father—In the back?" A moment Sanches' hand fumbled at his coat; drew out a bag of oilskin. “Here Is something that belonged to your father. I took It from his breast the day he died, think­ ing some time—I can’t tell what—only it contains a letter from tbe former lady of tbe Mount! When my master got It, be told me to pack a few be­ longings—that we were going—never to roton!" Sanchez* voice broke off; again he strove to speak; could not; put out his hand. Mechanically tbe Black Seigneur’s closed on that of the old servant; even as It did so, the latter’s fingers clutched suddenly; ceased to move. In the cuurch now all was silent, but without arose discordant sounds, cries, harsh and vengeful, for tbe Governor! Starting, the Black Seigneur gased about, toward him they were clamor­ ing for, now lying still, at the base of tbe monument Then releasing the fingers, that seemed yet to hold him, the young man sprang forward, as my lady threw herself wildly, protecting* ly, over her father. At that touch, the Governor’s eyes opened; met hers; the Black Seigneur's! Nearer the door, now rang the shouts. His Excellency seemed to listen; to realise what they meant; to him—his daughter— “The Governor! The Governor!” “Trembles tyrans! Trembles!” An ironical flash lit up, for an in­ stant, tbe dying eyes. He, soon, would be beyond reach of these dogs—ca­ naille! But she? His gase again rested on tbe Black Seigneur; in that tense, fleeting second, seemed reading his very soul! . “Et la belle comtesse, sa fille!” cried tbe menacing voices. A tremor crossed the Governor’s face; his pale Ups moved. “Forget! Save her!" An Instant his eyes lin­ gered persistently on the young man; then passed to his daughter; as they did so, slowly the light, more human and appealing than any that had ever shone there before, went out of them. My lady’s fair head dropped until it lay on her father’s breast; uncon­ scious, she seemed yet to shield him with figure’Inert. But only for a mo­ ment! "Et la belle comtesse!’’ Stooping, tbe Black Seigneur snatched tbe slender form to his breast; ran back to the altar. There, looking around him, as one who made himself familiar with the place, his glance apparently found what it sought —a small stairway, entrance to the crypt. At the same time he started to descend, tbe people swept into the church. CHAPTER XXXIII. Governor's daughter had made no sound, fearful of hastening the inevl'ble; but at the moment the man, th a last taunting word, launched vard, a cry. half articulate, burst . * her Ups. It waa drowned by anvoice, loud and commanding, rang out from the entrance to rch. tea!” i the call disconcerted him; old servant’s eye of its cerirm of its sureness, for tbe at his Excellency the lat'led to evade. At tbe with singular agility he save himself, the band 1 been holding to his like an adder. It ' stung deep—full in *entor. *ayage!” xpression of s&tpermitted his •agedy became ater! On the Sands. A man, bearing In his arms the mo­ tionless form of a woman, paused later that night In the shadow of a low stone hovel, near the lower gate of the Mount. As he crouched beneath the thatch projecting like the rim of an old hat above him bls eyes, eager, fierce, studied the distance he had yet to traverse from the end of the nar­ row alley, where he had stopped, to the open entrance at tbe base of the rock to the sands. The goal was not far; but a few moments would have sufficed to reach It; only between him and the point he had so long been striving to attain, an obstacle, or group of obstacles, intervened. Before a bonfire of wreckage of stuff—furniture and household goods—several ragged, dissolute fellows sat with bottles be­ fore them, drinking hard and quarrel­ ing the while over a number of glitter­ ing gems, gold snuffboxes and trinkets of all kinds. “This bit of ivory for the white •tone!" “Add the brooch!” “Not I! Leak at the picture! Her ladyship, perhaps!" “They have not found her?" “No; for all the searching! But she Is somewhere; can’t have escaped from the Mount. And when the drabs and trulls lay hands on her!” “Ay, when!" casting the dice. The man, peering from the alley, hesitated no longer; behind sounded the footsteps of others, and gather­ ing his burden more firmly, he strode boldly forth toward the group and the gate. At his approach, their talk— n jargon of "thieves’ Latin" that smacked more of the cabarets of Paris than those of the coast—momentarily ceased; beneath lowering brows, they stared hard. “What have you there, comrade?" said one. "Look and see!” answered tbe man In a rough tone. "Poor booty! A woman!’ quoted an­ other with a harsh laugh. "You’re easily pleased. As if wenches were not plentiful enough on other occa­ sions, without wasting time on a night like this, when diamonds and gold are to be had for the searching!" “And silver plates and watches and rare liquors!" cried a third in knaves' argot. “Every one, however, to his taste; An you prefer a Ught-of-love to light such as these have,” juggling with the gems, “you but stamp your­ self a fool.” “You’re welcome to your opinion, my friend!” Tbe man with the bur­ den spoke bruskly. “Good night!" "Stay; why such haste? You seem not a bad fellow. Set the wench down. We’ll have sight of her, and, perhaps,” with coarse expletives, “if she’s a pretty face, and a taste for this fiery liquor the old monks laid down, we’ll find a gewgaw or two to her liking!” But the man made no answer; was I "Refuses to share, does he?” she repeated, and, swaggering down, peered forward; only to start back. "The Black Seigneur!” “The Black Seigneur!" Those who accompanied her—a rough rabble from field and forest— gazed, not without surprise, or uncouth admiration, at one whose name and fame were well known on that north­ ern coast; but these evidences of rough approval were not shared by the alien rogues. On my lady's finger the gem sparkled; held their eyes like a lure. Black Seigneur, or not, they' muttered sullenly, what knew they of her he had with him; whose hand was not that of cinder-wench or scullery maid? Let them look at her face! She might be a great lady—ahe might be the Governor’s daughter herself! "The Governor’s daughter!” All, alike, caught at the word. “And if she were!’’ fiercely the Black Seigneur confronted them. While, hesitating, they sought for a reply, quickly he went on. Who had a better right to her? The Black Seigneur! The Lady Elisa! Harshly be laughed. Was It not fair spoil? His Excellency’s enemy; his Excellency's daughter. Did they think treasure sweeter than revenge? Let them try to rob him of It! As for the ring? Contemptuously he took it from my lady’s hand; threw it among them. A few scrambled, others were still for finishing the tragedy then. The people versus the lords and their spawn. “Kill at once!" the Injunc­ tion had gone forth from Paris. As he spoke, one of the fiercest put out his hand; touched my lady, when the fingers of the Black Seigneur gripped hard his throat; hurled him so violently back, he lay still. Com­ panions sprang to his aid; certain of the peasants interfered. "Let him alone!" “He speaks fair!" “Bah! Tonight all are equal" “Your Black Seigneur Is no better than others!” “YoJu He!” In a high tone the wom­ an with the great lady’s hat broke in. "At them, my chickens! Beat well these Paris rogues, who come only for the picking!’* TO BE CONTINUED.

Mul­ holland. ■bout to pass on, when the speaker noticed for the first time the woman's hand, white and small, hanging limply "What’s this? More jewels F’ His ex­ clamation was caught up by tbe oth­ ers. “Not so fast, comrade! This puts a different face to the matter. Set down the booty, and,” springing to his feet, "well see what It’s worth.” ’Til not stop!” The man looked at him steadily. “On the Mount is, or should be, plenty for all! Go seek for yourself!” “Pardl!” softly. “Here's one dares speak his mind! “I speak plainly," In a tone of au­ thority, "and you would do well to heed!" "Perhaps,” Interposing. “What say you, comrades?” Evil smiles illumined evil faces; they, who had just been on the point of blows among themselves, now re­ garded one another with common un­ derstanding. One weighed tentatively that delicate weapon, a spontbon; a second stroked hie halberd, as liking to feel the smoothness of tbe shaft, while a third reached for a gleaming “Folard’s Partlzan." And in the glare of the fire every implement showed sign it had been used that night The point of the spontoon was as steel crusted o’er; the ax of the halberd might have come from a boucherle; tbe blade of the “Partlzan” resembled a great leaf at autumn-time. This last wavered perilously near the uncon­ scious burden; had the man made a movement to resist, would have struck; but the black eyes, only, combated—heJd the blood-shot ones. Though not for long; again the weap­ on seemed about to dart forth; the man about to hurl himself and his bur­ den desperately azide, when, from above, came the sound of hoarse Is ugh ter and singing, and simultane­ ously a number of peasants, Bretons by their dress, burst Into view. "Eb, cockatoo, what now!” Many of these new-comers were hurt; few free from cuts; but none thought of stanching their wounds. Their principal concern seemed for articles they carried—heavy, light; valuable, paltry—spoils from the high! Two staggered beneath a great chest stamped with the arms of the Mount and its motto, and appeared anxious to hurry—perchance toward the forest on the shore where they might bury their treasure. Others had in their arms imposing pieces of silver; vases and a massive surtout de table that had once belonged to the Cardinal Du­ bois. A woman, gaunt, toothless, wore a voluminous bonnet a 1’Argus, left at the Mount by one of the ladies ol the court; and waved before her a fan, set with jewels. She it was who called out: "Eh, cockatoo!” shrilly. “Who would you be killing?” “A selfish fellow that refuses to share!” answered he of the halberd, as if little pleased at the interru ition.

Family gatherings, neighborly vlsita, observance of the day by churches, the usual hunting and pleasures will be on today. Thanksgiving is but the form, not the deep heartfelt thank offering Which induced the governors of the New England colonies to issue pro­ clamations setting a day "for Thanks­ giving and prayer.” But we have much to be thankful for in this day and age. Bountiful crops, a better and merpi perfect gov­ ernment by the people, a better un­ derstanding ot the wants and the re­ quirements to make this truly great nation still greater. Reforms little thought of a decade ago are now gen­ eral and there is still work going on to perfect and enlarge the scope of usefulness. White the feasting goes on today, let us also remember our obligations to each other. Let there be, if possible, all obliteration of past differences in family, community, state and nation, and our acts be such as will commend us to the great Father. Happy may the day be spent in good deeds, and may none sorrow. Returns indicate at Lansing that the socialist vote has nearly doubled within the last two years.

Savings Account UST what does a savings account in this Bank mean to a man or woman? It means agood deal more than money on deposit, or interest received. It means a feeling of security and in­ dependence, insurance against illness, unemploy­ ment, and old age. J T means the ability to make change.! of posi­ tion which take ready cash at the start, but eventually furnish a real career. It means the little accumulation that enables one to make the heavier household purchases without paying exorbitant installment rates. It means the confidential help of every officer of the bank in business matters. I E invite you to open an account with us. We are the oldest bank in Barry County.

Miss Emily Ewing, a beautiful Neu York girl, who was terribly disfigured for life in rescuing some children from a fire, says she will not mind tbe disfigurement, that it is her badge of service done to humanity, her medal, and that she will now find something to think about besides merely being pretty. In all great souls we must note this power of escape from the calamities that overcome and crush lesser spirits. They hanged Nathan Hale, but hL spirit eluded tbem; on the scaffold his "spirit found refuge in a high emo­ tion, patriotism and he was happier than any British officer around him as he exclaimed: "My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country." Sickness, failure, treachery, be­ reavement, slander and death, like wolves, are after us from the cradle to the grave. We can not only rise above them, one and all, if we will, but turn them Into blessings. Emily Ewing, losing her beauty, learned the Joy of usefulness. Nathan Hale, dying, became immortal. Out of mud, say the orientals, springs the lotus flower; out of clay some gold and diamonds; out of dis­ eased oysters, pearls; brightest silks are spun from a worm; from a dry stick is bora flame, and from the jungle comes honey. And the sweetest, rarest, most precious joys of life come only to the soul that has been crushed. 49 GO 74 67 112 2049 53 100 12( 103 1X6 2134 32 36 47 38 1101 49 94 116 116 198 2395 51 82 9f 72 124 1785 33 34 48 29 co 1133 184 12: n 71 102 110 162 46 .

(By T. F. 1TGRHW.) After turkeys are grown and ready for market, quite as much care and attention should be given to the kllli™* yid shipping as to the proper growing. When these things can not be done to good advantage, it la betfo sell them alive. Buyers who •re prepared to kill, dress, pack and White Holland Turkeys. ■hip turkeys, and to save the feathers, should be in position to pay what they are worth alive; and should be aide to handle them at a profit, better than the grower, who may not be pre­ pared to1 do the work to the best ad­ vantage. So much depends upon marketing them in the best condi tn on that small growers should either dress and sell to their home market, or, providing It can be done at a fair price, sell alive to someone who makes a busi­ ness ot handling such stock. Kill nothing but well-fattened stock. It seldom pays to send ill-favored stock into market Do not give any food to the turkeys for twenty-four hours prior to killing. This allows the crop and entrails to become empty and avoids much of the danger of ■polling. Full crops and entrails count ■gainst value; they often taint the meat apd prevent its being kept for any length of time. There are two methods of killing largely used. The most popular is to suspend the fowl by the shanks, head down. and cut or stick it in the roof of the month with a knife made espe­ cially for this purpose. This severs the arteries and cuts into the brain, causing insensibility 'and a tree flow of blood from the mouth. This is called “sticking in the roof of the The other plan is to break the neck by a quick twist or jerk backward. When the neck is completely dis­ jointed the. head is pulled away so as to form an open space in the neck in which the blood may settle. Thia plan has been but little used, though the claim la made that when so killed the fowls win keep longer, because there Is no opening by which the air can get into the body, as there fa when they are stuck in the roof'of the ■south. This method has been need more for chickens than for turkeys, and to use it well requires consider­ able practice. The method of behead­ ing with an ax or hatchet has been employed forages. RHODE ISLAND RED’S ORIGIN History of Youngest Breed of Ameri­ can Chickens—Considered Excel­ lent for All Purposes. The Rhode Island Reds, although one of the youngest breeds in the American class, are growing in popu­ larity. The history of the Reda dates back to about 1854, but it is only of recent years that the poultry world acknowledged them as a breed, says the Farm Journal. At that date. It is claimed, Red Cochin China cocks and Red Malay cocks were brought Into sections of Rhode Island and Massachusetts by sea captains. Later Rose Comb Brown Leghorn blood was Introduced In some sections, and thus for 60 years the male bird for the head of each flock was selected of a red color and a vigorous condition. The breed is conceded to be one of the best for practical purposes. The brown eggs, and are first-class as ta­ ble poultry, being adapted for both rollers and roasters.

In-expreas-ibly sweet!" Kitty was an exclamation point of admiration. Virginia regarded her younger sister with the expression of a yearning mis­ sionary. "Kitty, I wish you’d devote leas thought to mere externals,’’ she said. Undisturbed, Kitty surveyed 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 really Is a good looker, put in Tom. Virginia, patient disapproval person­ ified, aLaent-mindedly salted her break­ fast food instead of her egg. "A wom­ an with a sense of her responsibili­ ties,” she murmured, "realises that life Is too short to waste on such a trivial consideration.” Tom said "Excuse me!” and fled. "Or the pursuit of some equally seri­ ous and worthy purpose should oc­ cupy her time and thoughts to the exclu don of frivolous, light-headed—’’ Kitty rose. “Sorry, Jinny. I’d love to listen.

"Kitty! Have you so far forgotten the modesty becoming to a young woman newly en­ gaged as to race off in actual pursuit of another young mon!” Kitty flushed, bit a sharp retort in two and came over to rub her hand lovingly <wer 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 got 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 life and work during those six months, Kitty. Why not begin by coming to the dub 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 In this hot weather. You’ve the prettiest throat of any one I know, and you bury it under all that chuffy linen. Collarless blouses are so fashionable, too.” Whining along in the Maynards* touring car that afternoon, Kitty and Dot's cousin from Harvard were dis­ cussing brunettes versus blondes. "By Jove!” he said enthusiastically. *T saw a splendid brunette on your street this morning. Raving beauty. Italian eyes. Serious as a saint Tall. Stately. I'm sure she never giggled in her life.” Kitty wiggled excitedly. “Awfully plain clothes?” He stammered. “Um-er. Rather re­ minded me of a nurse’s costume. Dot’s promised me an early introduc­ tion, 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 humanitari- “You don’t •ay!” His face foil. “What'll £ 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 yon to dinner tomorrow night,” said Kitty, soothing­ ly. "You’d better read up on social settlements.” The next afternoon Kitty was ap­ plying powder over cold cream in an­ ticipation of a round of tennis when Virginia appeared at her door, a blouse In one hand, a long pink ribbon and a scrap of lace In the other. Her eyes were perplexed and her face was flushed. "Kitty, you know so much about fashion, will you advise me? Do you think some lace at the throat would’ add a pleasing feminine touch to this blouse? And is this pink too bright for a belt?” In spite of tho 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, Dorothy’s cousin, Mr. Rogers. His aunt intro­ duced him this morning after • the kindergarten class. She has told me in confidence that he has shown re­ markable interest In settlement work.” Kitty choked and coughed hurriedly. "Look at yourself In the glass, sis,” she said. Virginia gasped. “You’ve Improved me wonderfully, Kitty. Perhaps I ought to pay more attention to clothes.” Death for Tuberculosis Bacilli.

An article now going the rounds of the state press as being reported from Charlotte and carrying with it the in­ ference that It is an Eaton county production, relates to Gun Marsh in Barry and Allegan counties, twentyfour miles from the west line of Eaton county. The description of the land is practically correct and is as fol­ lows: Seven hundred bushels of onions to the acre is responsible for the reclam­ ation of 3,000 acres ot marsh land con­ tained in what is known as the Gun marsh at the outlet of Gun lake in Al­ legan county. The marsh lies In the township of Gun Plains Shelby and Martin and is famous as a hunters* paradise. There is the home of wild ducks and all kinds of water fowl, and there it is where the last Michigan wild turkey waa found a few years back. A number of years ago an effort was made to drain the marsh, but property owners along Gun lake, famous as a resort, secured an Injunction against any such proceeding, claiming that it would lower Gun lake and Injure the valuation of property. Since that time no effort was made by any of the sev­ eral hundred farmers, whose farms contain a slice of the marsh land, to derive any income from their low land. Two years ago a Hollander was traveling through that section looking for a farm. He was struck with the possibilities of tbe marsh land for the purpose of raising onions, hundreds of acres of similar situated land being used in the Netherlands for the same purpose. He purchased a few acres of a fanner, who laughed at the Hol­ lander for trying to make any money out of the “worthless” land. An immense onion crop made the farmers sit up and take notice, and last spring several hundred acres of the marsh were cleared and planted to onions. A large warehouse was built at Martin, although many people still laughed at the idea. The crops this year were Immense. The onions aver­ aged 700 bushels to the acre, and in <-ne instance a farmer raised 1,100 bushels from an acre and a half. The warehouse at Martin was filled to overflowing and a new one is being erected at Shelbyville, another nearby railroad station. A movement is now on to build a dam across the marsh at the outlet of the lake, and in this way allow of the drainage ot the entire marsh without lowering the lake. Most Noiseless Goods He Had. The new clerk was doing his best to be accommodating, but it seemed to him that hie customer was trying to call for things of which he had never heard. Finally she asked, “Have you any silent rloths?” Doubt clouded his face for a moment, then he brought down a box and triumphantly spread oat a muffler. Stat. Itana.

THE STOVE THAI LASTS A UFLUME A cheap heating stove is really expensive, as it will soon wear out and must be replaced. ’ The material used in the genuine Round Oak is the best money can buy— stronger than ear-wheel iron I The Bound Oak Heating Stove will give many years of satisfactory service—last practically a lifetime, in fael-and in the long run, cost much less than one of its cheap imitations. But there are other reasons why it is true economy to buy the genuine Round Oak Heating Stove. It’s the biggest fuel saver in the stove line. Gives a more even and more intense heat from the same amount of fuel than any other stove you san buy. Burns hard or soft coal, wood or coke—holds fire all night—and the eone Center Grate permits no clinkers. This is the stove you’ve heard so much about—it’s been on the market for 40 years—never has had an equal and never will have one, in spite et its hundreds of imitations..

"No, Billy," said Molly, with a de­ spondent shake of her brown head, as they paused at the crowded street crossing, I have interred my very last hope. Had I won in the contest, as I was sure I would, mother could have left town for the summer and boarded with the old couple living in her childhood homestead. We would have rented out our little house here and I'd have boarded. But as it is, it's the din and heat of the town, and our dull, stuffy little house for mother." "Molly, I wish I could help you. You know I—” "When you don’t even help yourself! Billy, I wish you wouldn't waste breath talking like that Your aunt tells mother and me how your Uncle William keeps you up, and how you are fast drifting Into a reckless young spendthrift.'’ "Why, Molly!” Gleason’s brown eyes showed surprise and resentment. "I draw a really decent salary every month, and no one stays closer to his job than I.” “It isn’t what you make, Billy," said Molly, "but what you save that deter­ mines your ability.” She paused to snatch a small child from beneath a heavy cab. After re­ storing the baby to its mother she con­ tinued: “Ah, Billy! Billy! you simply won't be a man. Don't you know that to succeed in any undertaking one must flrst make good? Mother couldn’t trust me to you, boy." Gleason caught a faint note of ten­ der regret In her voice. He stopped instantly and grasped her arm. “Say, Molly," he said eagerly, "will you promise to marry me if I make good —what you shall call good?" Molly looked up and down the dull street and Sighed. Then she prom­ ised. Two weeks passed, and one day Molly called Gleason over the tele­ phone and demanded his immediate presence at her house. She greeted him in a state of ecstacy. “Billy, I Just couldn’t wait longer to tell you," ■he bubbled, thrusting a letter into his hand. “There, read that!" San Antonio, Tex., May 4. Mias Molly A. Meylan, Dallas, Texas. My Dear Miss Meylan: Two weeks ago while my wife and I were passing through Dallas, you heroically saved our child from death. We feel that we owe you something beside the deep thankfulness In our hearts, and after learning your name, and that yon are self-supporting, we have deposited for you In the First National bank, Dellas, Tex, the sum of (*500) five hundred dollars, which we beg you to accept as a small re­ muneration for your noble deed. You need not reply, as we are traveling and-would probably not receive your letter. Most humble yours, CLARA and HAROLD McKlM. ' HAPPEUiiiGS IN OUR CITY SCHOOLS MISS HAWKINS, NEW DOMESTIC SCIENCE TEACHER, HAS TAKEN I’P HER WORK. Party of Boys of Hastings Schools Will Attend Boys* Conference lit Grand Rapids. Miss Hawkins, our domestic scionce teacher, lias commenced work as outlined by Miss Simson. We regret that Miss Simson has left us, but as she was offered a splendid position in the North Carolina State Normal, she was released from her position in •Hastings. Several new volumes have been added to the school library for the benefit of the science department. Report cards will be ready this '' week. The normalt les are the proud possessors of new class pins. While walking down Green street an enterprising sophomore's arm went to waste (waist,) so ’tls said. So long and assiduously have tbe juniors been dreaming of the time when they too might have the honors of seniors thrust upon them, that some really believed that hour had arrived; for Tuesday at the football game at Nashville they were seen, Proudly flaunting with Joy untold The Seniors, colors ot blue and gold. The normal class are studying solids and volumes In arithmetic. A small party of boys will attend the Boys' Conference, which is held at Grand Rapids November 29 and 30, by the State Y. M. C. A. for all young men between the ages of fifteen and twenty. Miss Gertrude Russ has gone to Chicago, where she will spend her Thanksgiving. Miss Beatrice Can-others spent Fri­ day and Saturday in Grand Rapids, the guest of Mr. and Mre. Crosby. The supplementary reading books for the 1st to the 6th grades inclu­ sive have been removed to tbe cen­ tral building, and are being re-ar­ ranged by the principal of that de­ partment, Mr. Nash. Miss Dorothy Cook, atu Miss Aimee Renkes spent Saturday and Sunday with friends and relatives in Prairieville township. There were some Seniors proud and wise And Just before the testa they said That because of their experience The “Exams" they did not dread. But alas! Oh boasting Seniors, The fatal standings have declared To yourselves and all the others That 'twas ill indeed you fared. Still we will not laugh too much, ' Instead we will pity you, Since we know that 'twas in Physics That you met your "Waterloo." “A Junior." Central Building, In art the third grade are busily en­ gaged in making booklets containing the primary and secondary colors. In language the third grade are hav­ ing Thanksgiving stories for dictaJ'**_ tion exercises. Jack Stem is still absent from school on account of ihls eyes. Gladys Coburn and Blanche Long are among the absent ones this week. Some of the grades are cutting from paper, posters suggestive of Thanks­ giving, in their manual training work. “Whew-w!" whistled Gleason, “but I call that some luck! Wish Td saved that Ud! A month later Gleason went up to the farm and escorted Molly home. At the gate she stopped, with a puzxled look at tbe house. "Billy,” she said, facing him, “what does this mean?” * “Never mind," Gleason laughed, leading the way up the walk; "I will explain later." At tbe door a woman In white cap and apron met them and directed them into the little parlor. “Come and see how you like things; then I’ll explain," said (Reason, still leading the way. They went through the few rooms, so wonderfully changed with large open windows, occasionally a new arti­ cle of furniture, bright, fresh walls and floors, and out upon the wide, cool new porches. “It won’t be quite so stuffy now, Molly, do you think? Sit here In the swing and I'll tell you about it" He took bls billbook out ot his pocket and, ■electing a paper, gave it to her. It was a bank deposit slip and showed a credit of *500 In favor of Molly A. Meylan, by W. R. Gleason. “I've got one just like it," said Molly. “Are you sure? Look again." “Oh, I see! Mine doesn't have ‘By W. R. Gleason' on it What is it on there for, Billy?" “Molly, there weren't any McKims. You saved one of the butcher's kids here In town. I hate to tell you, dear." ' Molly’s eyes lighted with under­ standing. “And it was you who de­ posited the money for me, Billy?’’ “Yes, and had a friend in San An­ tonio write you that letter. You see, I wanted to help you, Molly, and you wouldn't let me, so I had to resort to stratagem,” “But where did you get the money?*’ “I have been carefully saving it up for the past three years In the hope of your marrying me. I find it pays a ■ft! fellow to economize in tho beginning of bis life.” “But your aunt said—" began Molly. "Ob, don’t worry about what Uncle Bill’s wife said. Your old professor being her brother had a great deal to do with her tales of me. But tell mp, Molly, how do you like the house?" , Her blue eyes were gleaming ten­ derly. “Billy, I’ve been cruel to you! Won’t you forgive me?” "Have I—have I made good, Molly?" "Made good, you great big man! St It's what I call best!" Then she looked at him shyly. "The only way I can think to thank you is tn ask you to share all my splendid happi­ ness. Billy. I promised, and I always make my words good. Oh, won't moth­ er ba proud of you!” I is «« $ Grammar Grades.

Their announcement may be found on another page. Beginning today over 80,000,000 Red Cross Christmas seals will be placed on sale in almost every large city and nearly every state of the United States, the proceeds to go for the benefit of the anti-tuberculosis movement in the community where the seals are sold. This announcement was made today from headquarters of The National Association for the Study and Preven­ tion of Tubeculosis which is directing the sale from its New York office. 1 So carefully has the sale been or­ ganized throughout the country that with the exception of the states of Florida, Oklahoma, Nevada and Ida­ ho, Red Cross seals .will be on sale in almost every city, town, village and hamlet of the United States and even in Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Canal Zone. The seals will be sold from drug Flores, department stores and other kinds of stores and shops, from pout offices, railway stations, booths on the Ftreets, hotel lobbies and numerous other places. The number of agents handling the sale in this way aggre­ gates over 25,000, while the actual number of individuals engaged in the tale, almost entirely volunteers, will reach well over 100,000. Society lead­ ers in almost every large city of tho country, notably in Pittsburg, Brook­ lyn, Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati, San Francisco and elsewhere are tak­ ing a leading part in this campaign. The American Red Cross has al­ ready printed for the work over 85.­ 000,000 seals and probably the edition will number 100,000,000 before the end of the campaign. Fully 10,000,060 pieces of advertising literature have already been sent out, and several million more are being distributed from local and state agencies through­ out the country. It is pianned to make the campaign thia year the largest that has ever been held. If the anticipa­ tions cf the antl-tuberculosls workers are realized, no less than $400,000 will be obtained from the sale of Red Cross seals. Practically all of the money 1 remains in the state, only a very small/ percentage of it is going to pay fo"' the cost of the printing and dlstribif Ing the seals nnd for the expense ! running the campaign. / The National Association annou that in case anju person cannot of । seals in the community where live, they can secure them by ■ to Red Cross Seal Headquurt Union Trust Building, Wash!*-.

Big Tract Left In West—Soil Unusually Productive in Grain, Aa Shewn By Progress Made By Tribes Themselves. Butte, Mont.—Two million acres of land in Montana, now known as the ^\»rt Peck Indian reservation, will be thrown open for settlement by the government next spring. This is the large tract of public land in the west that has not been opened to aettleni. , Inasmuch as less than one per cent fit this laud has been cultivated and all <st it is said to be fertile, it is esti­ mated that the harvest will be enJibbed by 20,000,000 bushels of graiq A year after it is settled and devel­ oped. The share of this tract alloted to Indians of many tribes is 723,693 acres. The rest Is unoccupied. "On the supposition that the unoc­ cupied lands were devoted to the growing of wheat on the summer fal­ low plan, which would mean that onehalf the area would be In crop at one I time, and on the further supposition that the, wheat would yield 25 bushels par acre, which is a moderate esti­ mate for yields on land thus prepared, the aggregate production would be..l9,112,500 bushels.'* Thomas Shaw, agrlchltnral expert, estimates. Prof. Shaw further says: "If this hmd were entirely devoted to the growing of barley on the summer fal­ low plan, the yield would be 30,900,­ 000 bushels, aa barley grown on such land should average 40 bushels per •ere. If the entire area were de­ voted to the growing of oats on the SUM lines, the total production would be 22,01,000 bushels, as 50 bushels ipar acre would not be an extrava­ gant estimate for land thus farmed.** The Fort Peck reservation will also he the scene of a unique event when the first county fair ever held by In­ dian tribes will open there. At this lair will be shown the rapid progress made by the red men In extensive agriculture after only a few years of Instruction in modern farming meth- There will be exhibited at this time •ome unusual specimens of grain and grasses that will also be entered filter in the year at eastern land •hows la competition with prize products of the white man. This (progress has all been made in the last two yean, since before that time hardly any of the land was being developed with modern methods. A year ago the Great Northern rail­ road sent a representative body of the tribes Inhabiting this region to the New York land show to give them an opportunity to see what the white mau was doing to wrest a living from the soil. The exhibits there were carefully studied, and the representa­ tives returned to their prairie homes with ideas as revolutionary as they proved to be profitable. Instead of truck farmers living in tepees, they resolved to be ranchers living in comfortable cottages overlooking thousands of acres. That they went to work with a vim Is shown by the fact that at the present time there are twice aa many acres of land under cultivation as there were a year ago. Agriculture Is not the only form of American civilization the Indians on this reservation have assimilated. They have also learned to play foot­ ball. The Indian civilization will not be entirely overshadowed by what has keen learned from the white man, however, all the old tribal customs win be perpetuated in dances and eeremouiez that have been handed •own for centuries. The ^oux will hold their annual Iretival at which all the weird rites fit their forefathers will be used. Three thousand redmen, In native at­ tire, will be gathered outside the agency town in a vast circle of te­ pees, and it will be a scene marked for its brilliancy. EH1 HI M?" H ' f ‘ .

Le Matin of Paris Gathers Answers from All Quarters—Woman Hits at Coquettes. Paris.—Le Matin Is at present en­ gaged in gathering together one of its periodical symposiums on burning questions of the day. The question that everybody is just now trying to answer is "Are Women Understood?" Every day two or more columns of the Papers are filled with the answers, from which the following selections have been made: According to you—a man who. see­ ing women as they are, lets them be­ lieve he sees them as they would like to be. According to us—simply a man who loves them. "A man who understands a woman is he who considers her not as an In­ ferior, but as his equal, at the same time recognizing in her certain super­ iorities of tact, delicacy, devotion and courage, without proudly showing his ronsclo-jsness of his own personal su­ periority In physical and intellectual power.” "The man who understands women is one who thinks It charming that we should be coquettish, fond of dain­ ties, money and flirting, and who thinks and tells us that all yiur cap­ rices are adorable." “Young men have gifts to fascinate women, but they do not understand them. The man who dees is he who no longer tells them untruths, having nothing more to hope or expect from them." "Such a phenomenon as a man who understands women does not exist It would be preferable to be set to square the circle than to understand a woman.” A woman signing herself "One Who Is Not Proud of Being a Woman" writes: "The man who fancies he under­ stands women is he who flatters their foolish whims. For a woman who wishes to be a serious and faithful Mend the position is not so compli­ cated, knd she does not need to re­ flect whether she is understood or not The only true women are those who are good mothers and good wives— all the rest are superfluous. They are odious talking figures, everything with them false—physique and morals alike—they interfere with life. Ah. If I were a man I would not spare the coquettes. They should see whether I understood them!” A woman signing herself “Incom­ prise," relates how only once she met a man on board a Mediterranean steamer who was able to please each and all of the ladies. "He Joined in our conversations without' leading them. With him one felt perfect safety, a charm infinitely rare, which allows a woman openly to express the sentiments of her heart without the perpetual fear that a man will take advantage of their innocent sincerity to attack them. Believe me, every woman appreciates this pleasure of confidence. We are sometimes weary of attacking and defending. The man who is not watching us always gives us a feeling of rest” COFFEE “DOPED;" ALMOST DIE Owner of Shelter Cabin In Colorado Had Prepared Concoction for Thieves. Denver, Colo.—When it comes to narrow escapes on the part of the in­ nocent bystander, George W. Smith thinks he about has the record. Before the deer season opened Smith left Denver for a visit to Gun­ nison and a tour of the surrounding deer country. While in the hills Smith and a friend became lost, and found them­ selves, chilled by a storm at the high altitude, wandering around with lit­ tle to eat and no place to go. Finally they came to a cowbody’s cabia. fur­ nished for occupancy, and entered. They found some coffee in a can, and made a plentiful supply. It was so warm and refreshing and tasted so good that Smith drank five cups. Then he had a pain and was seized with violent cramps. The Mend was deathly sick, too, but found five small bottles of oil, which the two used as an emetic. After the oil Smith's Mend made him take a pint of warm 9 STITCHES TAKEN IN HEART lard.

V. NETTLESHIP. ”1 don't see what in the world we shall ever do with all our things,” sighed Mrs. Hemming when she and her husband decided, after much dis­ cussion. to move from their house, which was too lonesomely big now that the children had all gone away to homes of their own. "Our apart­ ment won't begin to hold our furni­ ture. to say nothing of all the things we have stored tn the attic." "Pick out the furniture you need and then turn a second-hand man loose In the house,” suggested Hem­ ming. “But, Charles, you wouldn't want mo to sell all our old keepsakes, would you ?" "Most assuredly. What earthly use to any one are a lot of old books, vases and pictures that no one ever looks at except at house cleaning time. Do they do anybody any good?" "No, I don't suppose they do," reluc­ tantly admitted Mrs. Hemming, "but I hate to part with some of them. “That’s just sentiment, my dear. The fact Is, it will be a relief to you when you are rid of all that old lumber." "Perhaps I could select just a few of the oldest things and we could put them in the storeroom of the apart­ ment. You know there’s a nice big storeroom, Charles.” * “Yes, I know it. Harriet, and I’m planning to keep my golf clubs there and my fishing tackle. So if you please, we won't fill up that storeroom with a lot of useless trash.” After the second-hand dealer's visit Hemming said to his wife: “I hope you were sufficiently strong-minded to let everything in the attic go?" "Well, nearly everything," answered Mrs. Hemming. "There are a few lit­ tle articles that it seems a shame to ■ell, such &s------” "Never mind enumerating them, Harriet. I shouldn’t be interested in • list of crippled furniture or ancient photograph albums." ' "But what I thought of keeping was the two old----- •” "Now, Harriet, we decided to get rid of al! our old stuff. Don't let Han­ kina leave a thing tomorrow when he comes with bls wagons.” When the wagons drove away load­ ed with furniture and bric-a-brac, mostly of a peculiarly inartistic pe­ riod, Mrs. Hemming laughed away her regrets. “Charles was right,” she said to herself. 'It would have been silly to keep that ugly trumpery.” About a fortnight after they were settled in their apartment, Hemming came home one afternoon carrying a large box. "I have a little present for you, Har­ riet,” he said with boyish pleasure. “You’ll be surprised when you see what it is. I was passing Devlin’s an­ tique shop this morning when some things in the windows caught my eye and took me back about 40 years to the time when t was courting a cer­ tain pretty girl in her grandmother’s best parlor, which was lighted with green glass lamps. There, my dear, what do you think of these?” He tri­ umphantly drew from the box two large green glass lamps of old-fash­ ioned shape and decoration. "Do they make you think of anything, Har­ riet?" "Yes, they do—they make me think of a lot of things," she answered. "How much did you pay for them?" "Devlin let me have them cheap. You see, one of his collectors picked them up for title or nothing in an old, out-of-the-way Vermont farmhouse where antiques aren’t appreciated, so he sold me the pair for $20. Really, Harriet I’d have given $30 If he’d asked it" "Well, I'm glad he didn’t ask It,” replied Mrs. Hemming, “for I sold these same lamps to Hankins three weeks ago for fl apiece.” "Great Scott! Are you sure they’re the same lamps?" "Of course I’m sure. I’d know them if you bought them in Egypt. I was brought up under those lamps." "A dollar apiece! And I snapped them up for |20 the pair!” mused Hemming, trying not to look sheepish. "Yes, and I’m glad you did,” re­ sponded Mrs. Hemming. “For they were what I hated to part with most Ii wanted to keep them and I’m awfully gUd to have them back.” Turk With Wife Would Bo Safe. Montenegro Is the only country in Europe where a wife may be regarded as a perambulating life insurance pol­ icy. The Montenegrin is intensely chiv­ alrous. Respect for women is carried to such a pitch that although the very word Turk affects the native as a red rag does a bull, yet a Turkish traveler finding himself in the wilds of Monte­ negro would be absolutely safe if he were accompanied by his wife. Life is patriarchal. There are no towns, only villages. There are vil­ lages of halt a dozen houses, in each of which three and sometimes four generations of a family live together. Travels, in spite of this patriarchal life, find the men gloomy and taciturn, with their eyes open for treachery and their right hand on their revolver.— London Daily Mirror. Make Living by “Poking Fires” One occupation by which a score of Britons are Bald to earn their liveli­ hood is that of “poking fires." By the rabbinical law no Jew is allowed to kindle or mend any fire on the Sab­ bath. and in certain places in England where Jews are very numerous this prohibition makes it necessary that persons shall be employed from sun­ set on Friday to tho same hour on Saturday in going from house to house lighting fires and lamps and attending them. . £ J.

After three weeks past the time for the county and state canvassing boards to send in their reports, the figures of the last counties came in to Lansing about Thanksgiving. There may have been no fraud in the delay, but it looks suspicious. In the ordi­ nary precinct the full canvass of the vote can be completed In three hours by ordinary talent. The law says the vote shall be counted at once, and without adjournment of the board which shall stay in continuous ses­ sion until the declaration and de­ termination is announced. Up to and including last Monday, several pre­ cincts in Detroit and St. Clair county had failed to report. By strict cor. pliance with the law, at least 20,000 votes should have been left out of the state canvass. But to have done this would have jeopardized several of the mdnor state offices, now held by re­ publicans. It would also have car­ ried the Equal Suffrage amendment The hanging on has served the double purpose of retaining republican offi­ cials, and defeating equal suffrage. Tho election machinery ot the en­ tire state is wrong, in that it permits of election inspectors being taken from one party alone, and in the pres­ ent case, has served to give rise to r suspicion of, if not an occasion for fraud. This is the second time with­ in the short period of four years that Detroit election returns were under suspicion along with the grave yard vote of the upper peninsula. The remedy is easily brought about. The law should be imperative that returns must be made to the secre­ tary of state within six days after election occurs; that election and canvassing boards shall not give out election returns to any publication before the six days have elapsed. That all election boards shall consist of representatives of the two domi­ nant parties and on demand of a third party, a representative of that party be allowed to be present, pro­ vided said party has voted at least 20 per cent, of tbe vote of the pre­ cinct, at a previous election. The ap­ pointment of such inspectors to be made by leading party candidates, or workers, and in all cases complied with by the dominant party. The shorter ballot will enable the returns to be in the office of the secretary of state within tbe time limit We want no Tammany meth­ ods in Michigan, nor brewery and ealoon manipulation of election re­ turns. As given out at Lansing Wood­ bridge N. Ferris has 29,945 plurality, Martindale, rep., secretary of state a plurality of 13,723, and the balance of republican state ticket below 10,090. K-dl.trirtl.ir The present .legislature will have a job on Ws hands out of the ordinary. Th a congressional, senatorial and rep­ resentative districts must be reorgan­ ised, and tbe republicans have only ten majority to do it with and a dem­ ocratic governor, who will have some­ thing to say in the matter. While we were adopting a constitution demo­ crats urged that the constitutional re­ striction of 100 for representatives and 32 for the senate should be en­ larged, by the addition of 20 to the lower (house and five in the upper. This would have made a better repre­ sentation for the rural or urban popu­ lation, while Lt would -have lessened the influence of the larger cities upon legislation. The addition of one more congressman to Michigan’s quota, make? It Imperative that one more district must be carved out of the present districts, and there are also districts which will 'have to be rear­ ranged on account of excess of popu­ lation. The fourth congressional dis­ trict, the third and fifth could be re­ arranged so ns to make an almost equal distribution. St. Joseph and Barry counties from the fourth could be put In Che third district, and Kal­ amazoo county Into the fourth, or Barry could he attached to Kent and Ionia of the fifth district, and-Ottawa to the fourth. Whatever the plan agreed upon, must be pretty unani­ mous to have effect. 1 Why Not Abolish IL What is there to hinder the abolish­ ment of the antiquated and useless electoral college. If there ever was a time it was useful In determining the result of election of president or ’ice-president, that time has passed. Today every man, woman, or child in the civilized world, knows or can know, who was elected to these of­ fices and the perfunctory proceedings of the so called electoral college Is a iseless waste of thne and money. A certified copy of the election re’ts in each state made by state ofils and forwarded to the senate of United States, will answer every se. This result is now a mathlstory; the make up of the il college is based upon the already announced by the ■thoritles and known and • the prOF? of the country, tion Is superfluous. Sennhas good ground for Ills •on of president and vicen direct vote of the peohis suggestion is nut iRfactory in our judgwhloh recognises an ‘qual to the number Secretary of State Martindale notiId .1. M. C. Smith the republican candidate for congress, 3d district, he had been elected and would issue him a certificate of election. This li­ the same unwarranted assumption which has characterized the repub'ican officials in the past. No matter bow much fraud may have been com­ mitted, or disregard of law had pre­ vailed, the republicans go upon the principle they own the earth. If the reports are true as to the conduct of officials in Eaton county alone. Smith is a minority candidate and defeated. The house of representatives tire judges of their own members, and If fraud or irregularity is proven Claude Carney the democrat, will be seated. It will need a lesson like this of the 3d district to bring about a regard for law and safe guarding the ballot box. The recklessness of township officials at elections is getting too numerous and too flagrant to be passed by in silence. Democrats every where should insist on repre­ sentation on election boards in every precinct They have suffered defeat by false counts In at least two guber­ natorial elections, beside minor of­ fices. It is time to call a halt. COLLECTION OF CURIOS ! 5 By BARBARA BOYD. ------------------------------- CHRISTMAS GIFTS They had just returned from Eur­ ope; and like all returning tourists, they had a lot of what their friends privately called junk, but which they enthusiastically referred to as u valu­ able collection of rare curios.

The pupils of Miss Matthews’ room were asked to secure from their homes anything they might have in the way of heirlooms and relics, and bring them to the school on the day preced­ ing Thanksgiving. Many interesting relics wore displayed and to the chil­ dren the exhibit was of positive edu­ cational value, having in it lessons In pride of ancestry, reverence for the past and gratitude for the present. It also Impressed upon the children the worth of relics, leading them to pre­ serve and cherish them. The outgoing county officials will dispose of themselves us follows: Sheriff Ritchie will move to his place on West Grand street; Register of Deeds C. W.

PARE rm Savings Account UST what does a savings account in this Bank mean to a man or woman? It means agood deal more than money on deposit, or interest received. It means a feeling of security and in­ dependence, insurance against illness, unemploy­ ment, and old age. J T nieans the ability to make changes of posi­ tion which take ready cash at the start, but eventually furnish a real career. It means the little accumulation that enables one to make tbe heavier household purchases without paying exorbitant installment rates. It means the confidential help of every officer of the bank in business matters. I E invite you to open an account with us. We are the oldest bank in Barry County. We have a reserve fund of over 50,000 dollars. We will start an account with a single dollar, and pay interest every six months. We give you your money on demand, without one hour’s notice. W V OU will find an account here convenient, be­ L cause you can do all your financial business under one roof. We can handle your check­ ing account, rent you a safe deposit box. sellyou your foreign exchange, and send money to Europe for you.

Cents in your pocket is better than having it in some other person’s pocket. By exchanging your wheat for PURITY” you are putting the money in your own pocket. Forty pounds of “Purity” in exchange for each bushel of wheat is my offer. You cannot better it in number of pounds or in quality of flour. Use “Purity”. “The flour that’s all pure flour”. At all grocers HASTINGS MILLING CO. C. A. Kerr, Prop. WITHOUT A BANK ACCOUNT The above stands out glaringly to those who are in this circum­ stance, wishing that they bad wisely saved a little money from time to time so they could remember the many friends and relatives. The importance of having a savings account is shown to more people at this time of the year than at any other. Surely at this time of giving and receiving the words that “it is more blessed to give than to re­ ceive” stand out more prominent and the full meaning of these words are felt. BEGIN SAVING NOW It is never to late to begin saving. By doing so now you will atone for the past and in a way, make np for the time you have lost. What little you save now may not be great in money value but will be greater in real value from the fact that you will form the habit which later on will be of great benefit to you not only at Christmas time but at a time which will come to you which will be of more importance than this Christmas time.

They left on the evening train for Oshtemo. The Frantz case had a hearing be­ fore Judge Mack Tuesday, and it was decided to allow the four minor chil­ dren to be placed with relatives In Grand Rapids who are willing to assume their care for the present. The children are still under the care of the court and the father was admonished that he must not attempt to take them out of the state, or move them from their assignments, unless by consent of the judge. If the high up railroad officials could see and know the conditions ex­ isting at the Michigan Central station here we are sure they would take stops to relieve them. Through no, fault of the resident agents here the accommodations are poor. From 1:30 to 5 a. m. the station is locked up. The people who desire to take the early train for the west, and they must take It to reach any destination north and west of Grand Rapids, are compelled to stand out In the cold until the bag­ gageman comes down before they can find out whether the train is on time or not. The anxiety to be on time brings many people there some time before train time, often from the coun­ try. The chill air mal;6s it extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable, for which it seems to us there is no ex­ cuse. At this time of year the even­ ing trains arrive after dark and the station is so poorly lighted the pas­ sengers are greatly inconvenienced, and jostle against each other in the dark. A switch also crosses a part of the platform, making the surface un­ even. and the pavement of brick and wood, together with the curb two inches above the brick, render it dan­ gerous to get on or off the trains. Hastings gives a generous patronage to the road, the best on this branch of the line, and we believe we are voicing tbe sentiment of the entire city when we ask that some, if not all, of the defects be remedied. The sta­ tion building, while not a modern one. Is comfortable and kept clean, but the other conditions can be remedied. Michigan j BrasfJfsl Ms.lral Serrlce.

The body was sent to Whitehall for burial. There is a peculiar sadness in the death and final breaking up of the family. They came to Barryvllle from Oregon, where they formerly lived. She sold their holdings there and left part of the payments on time, having just enough to pay for the place they bought. Through some cause the parties In the west did not meet their payments, and beyond the purchase of a cow, they were unable tu procure team and tools to work with and were obliged to sell pastur­ age, and have u short hay crop cut on shares. Added to the incurable illness which Mrs. Bezzo had become the victim of no doubt aggravated by their misfortune they sold out, and moved to Whitehall. Much sympathy is expressed for the unfortunate fam­ ily by the people of Barryvllle, who speak very highly of them. ' Cheap Roofing. To cover any wooden roof, such as dog kennels, summer bouses, etc., get a large piece of strong brown paper and tack It down. Make sure there are no holes in it for the wet to get under. Then give it two coats of paint. Thia will last several years, and is almost as good as tarpaulin, and much cheaper. The Baddie and the Steed.

Commandsr of Steamer Illinois Telle How He Arrived Day Ahead of Schedule, and Is Shanghaied to Land Job. New York.—it is perfectly possible to “shanghai" a seaman and make him work on the land, although the possi­ bilities appear never to have occurred to writers of sea stories. Anyway, it not only could happen, but It did hap­ pen, and Capt. Harry Harriman, post­ master. and most prominent busi­ ness man In Massapequa, Long Is­ land, is the man to whom it happened. Captain Harriman followed the sea for over 40 years, rising from appren­ tice to tbe position of captain of one ot the Red Star Line steamers. One day he came to Massapequa to visit his brother-in-law, who was em­ ployed by a real estate company here. While on his visit ho got into conver­ sation with the owner of the little store and postoffice, near the railroad station. The storekeeper and post­ master expressed himself as being dissatisfied with tho place, arid yearn­ ed for the coming of some one who would purchase the store. In a spirit of fun the captain offered him an ab­ surdly low price for the store—and the offor was accepted. Not' willing to back out of his bar­ gain, the captain closed the deal then and ttjere and decided to install hla wife as storekeeper and postmistress. He found that Massapequa's rapid growth provided more work than his wife could attend to, so. with a leave of absence from the steamboat lino he Is still at bls little Massapequa store, soiling postage stamps and po­ tatoes, and occasionally hustling a bag ot mall upon a train. The captain is going back to hla first love, the sea, but he says, when •be brings to mind some of his amus­ ing experiences as postmaster, ho de­ cides that work as postmaster 1. a tong Island village Is almost as ex­ citing aa anyone could wish for. But, for all that, when Captain Har­ riman tells how he came to take up his work In Massapequa, he solemnly insists that he was shanghaied Into tho job of being postmaster. Captain Harriman, whose last com­ mand was on the Illinois, the Red Star Line steamer which piles between Philadelphia and Antwerp, was a per­ sonal friend of Captain Smith of tho ill-fated Titanic. On the day the Ti­ tanic sank. Captain Harriman and Captain Rogers, late of the steamship Freissman. were planning a vacation in Maine on which Captain Smith was expected to accompany them. The Illinois, anyone can see, is the ship of ships in the eyes of the post­ master-captain. "That’s the ship that beat the Phila­ delphia-Antwerp record," he said, with a grin and a chuckle, "but the com­ pany never seemed to approve of the way we beat IL It was the eighty­ fourth trip of the boat, and the weath­ er was glorious—you wouldn't find more favorable conditions for a trip In a lifetime. When I took my ob­ servations tbe second or third day. I found that we were about 16 hours ahead of tbe schedule. I called up the engineer and he said that no ex­ tra amount of coal had been burned, and we decided If we didn't have to use any extra coal, to beat the rec­ ord—if we could. "Anyway, we were due in Philadel­ phia on Monday and we steamed In on Sunday, 24 hours ahead of sched­ ule. I had a thousand emigrants on board and no arrangements had been made to receive them before Monday —oh, we threw things Into a merry mess. As I came Into the dock. I called out to Captain Fuller, our ma­ rine superintendent: “Where shall I go with this boat?" “ ‘You can go to hades with her,’ be yelled back. 'What business have you got in here today?’ “When I reported at the offices of the company, they called me down for bringing the bout in so far ahead of time, but I showed them my orders to •proceed with all possible dispatch.’ although they didn’t seem to want or­ ders carried out so literally." EX-THIEF TURNS PREACHER Becomes a Mission Worker After 22 Years In Jails—Says It Is Never Too Late. Washington.—Frank Carr, formerly a notoriouB burglar, known to the po­ lice of New York and a score of oth­ er cities, has turned mission worker, after having served 22 years of his life behind prison bare. “There is good in every man’s heart, and he only has to have tbe oppor­ tunity to show it, or the force of cir­ cumstances to bury it,” declared the ex-convict. “Too many good men go wrong, and they stay wrong because the churches do not reach the dregs of this life. It is never too late to turn back." Says Spouse Loved Lady Barber. Chicago.—Alleging that her hus­ band, a wealthy manufacturer, fell in love with a lady barber while he was being lathered, and set her up in business with an $800 tip, Mrs. Alvan H.

PAGE SEVEH SOON SUES FOR DIVORCE Mrs. Lee Ho of New York Declares Heart of Husband Was Filled by Miss Gwe Yok. New York.—An oriental flavor was added to the bargain da/ divorces in the Supremo court by the presence ot Lillie Lee, Chinese wife of Lee Ho Soon, a restaurant proprietor at 134 Third avenue. Mrs. Leo, or Soon, just as you pre­ fer. was the first Chinese wife to come into court and ask a regular, everyday American divorce from n Chinaman husband. She couldn’t stand for a ri­ val In her husband's affections. Soon did not take the trouble to come to court or have a lawyer there to repre­ sent him. Airs. Lee Is twenty-live years old. She married Soon on October 4. 1908. They lived together until August, 1911. Since that time Mrs. Lee has not en­ tered her husband's home or partak­ en of chop suey with him. M. L. Nichols, the only Caucasian in the divorce proceeding, testified that on the night of June 11 last, while he was calling upou Lee Ho Soon in Soon's restaurant. Soon said, "Come on up and meet my wife." Nicholas had already been intro­ duced to Lillie .lames Lee, the plain­ tiff in the divorce action. He said he was surprised to find that Soon's “wife" was another dark-eyed Chinese lassie. Nichols told tbe real Mrs. Soon what ho had discovered, and she started the divorce suit ELEVEN CHILDREN TOO MANY Foreigner Wanted a Mother for Hit Five—She Had Six, So Ho Re­ turn* Licence. Pittsburg.—A sad tale waa relate to the marriage license clerks by An­ toni Rosenski, forty-three -year* .old, who took out a license August 2 to wed Kazmeria Paterald, thirty-five years old. Rosenski returned Ijds li­ cense. It had not been used. “Two many kid*,” was the explan­ ation Rosenski gave when telling the marriage license clerk* why be did not use the license: Rosenski was once married, but hl* wife died In 1910, leaving five chil­ dren to care for. While at work one day a friend told Jiim of a widow who was about to be deported by the United State* immi­ gration officer* on account of not be­ ing able to support herself. Ro*en*ki decided to marry her to keep her from being deported and also to have a mother for hi* five children. “Have you got children?" asked Ro­ senski. "Only six." was her reply. Eleven was too many for Rosenski, according to his statement, and he jilted the widow. WOMAN CALLS MAN LAZY Employed 18 Hour* a Day, However, Want* Husband “Indus­ trious-** New York.—John Lancaster bolds two positions and works 18 hours a day. Mrs. Lancaster in the Yonkers police court charged him with being lazy. Tbe indignant wife told Judge Ellis she wanted John “Btraightened out." ’ Lancaster says he works all day for a railroad and then work* until mid­ night for an express company. He earns $30 to >40 a week and out of this sum Mrs. Lancaster lets him keep two ($2) dollars. A witness in the courtroom remark­ ed aside: “I don’t see how you .can call a ‘human yeast cake’ lazy. Yeast always works—and so does John, it seems." Judge Ellis finally brought tbe cou­ ple to terms. Mrs. Lancaster will go back to their farm in Staatsburg, and her. husband will allow her the bulk of his weekly salaries while he tries to get one more job. INDIAN RIDES FAR TO PAY 7 ----------Aged Red Man Had to Walt for Seven Year* Before He Got Enough to Settle. INDIGNATION MEETING BY JAMES HARDING. “Well, wouldn't that make you tired!" called Mrs. Brill as she came out on her back porch and slammed the door sharply behind her. Her neighbor, Mrs. Graves, looked up in surprise, for Mrs. Brill was of a most unruffled demeanor ordinarily. Sitting back on her heels in the grass, she abandoned her pursuit of dandelions long enough to Inquire sympathetically. "What would?" Mrs. Brill's prettily frilled dust cap fairly stood on end with indignation. "I've been trying to get Raymond’s school by telephone for at least half an hour. You know my sister and her little boy are coming up for the day, and, of course, Raymond wants to stay at home. Well, he’s in the en­ tertainment next week nnd I wanted to tell his teacher he’ll be absent to­ day and 1 wanted to find out about his costume. But do you suppose I could get that school? No, indeed! And I teil you, Mrs. Graves, the phone service we have here now is some­ thing awful. There is a phone at tho school, for I saw It one day. There is no number in the book and all I could get out of those girls was 'We have do record.’ 1 tell you our im­ provement association ought to get after the phone service Instead of putting up any more fancy street lamps." “Now, Mrs. Brill,” expostulated the woman two doors away, who had sus­ pended operations on her clotheslir-.;-. to listen and who stood drooping gracefully over the fence and rattling the clothespins In her apron pocket “It isn’t the fault of the telephone at all; It’s the schools, or the school board, or something. Listen to what happened to me the other day. “I wanted to go down town early and get at the sales before the bar­ gains were all picked over,” related the woman two door* away. “I hur­ ried *o that I forgot to take the pig*’ feet off the stove that were cooking for my husband’* supper. He likes them once in a while and they have to be fixed just so in order to suit him. These were awfully nice one* and I wanted to cook them aa long aa possi­ ble. On the car I remembered that I hadn’t removed them, but the gaa was turned low, so they couldn’t burn very soon. Well, I hurried to the nearest phone to call up Bobble at hl* school and tell him to run over at'recess time and turn out the gas. "But do you suppose I got any sat­ isfaction? Well, J didn't Oh, I was mad! Here I had planned on those ■ales for a month, you' know, to get some furniture and hanging* cheap for the porch. 1 didn’t half look at what they had, just bought sbme things in a hurry and then rushed home. I was hardly in time either, for those pigs’ feet were scorched. "Then my husband got mad. You know, John Is awfully particular about what he eats. And I had to send the furniture back because it wasn't at all what I wanted.” She paused a moment for breath and to enjoy the sympathetic com­ ments of her neighbor. Then, with a coquettish toss of her head, she con­ tinued: “Well, I just told John how it all was. You see, my husband knows the superintendent of this district real well. They go down together on the 7:45 train real often. So he’ll just fix it up at headquarter*. The idea of not being able to phono . to one’s own child in a city of this size!" Mrs. Brill nodded emphatically at Mrs. Graves, who had gone back to hunting dandelions. Though osten­ sibly talking to the woman two doors away, she directed her next remarks straight to Mr*. Graves, whom she considered more or les* a party to th* misdemeanor* of the city school, be­ cause Mr*. Grave* had once taught in them. . “That’s just IL” declared Mrs. Brill. “Now, in Splashville, where my slater teaches, you can phone to anyone In any school at any time about any­ thing. That’s how it should be. Sup­ pose somebody should die suddenly, or break an arm or something. You couldn't get word to the child in any way here.” Mrs. Graves answered the accusa­ tion as she picked up the mutilated dandelions preparatory to going into the house. "Surely, every kind of mes­ sage should be given and to every one of the thousands of youngster* in the schools just because some one might die some time. It would take several clerks just for that and the classes would be continually dis­ turbed, but what of that?” "Well," pouted Mrs. Brill, “what do we pay taxes for?’ ’ "That’s rlghL" insisted the neighfor two dcors away. “Anyway, my husband's going to see about IL”—Chi­ cago Dally News.

MICH. Lieut, Atkins Makes Good. Lieutenant A. K. Atkins, son of Charles Atkins of this city, Is evident­ ly -making his mark In his profession, although a very young man. He has recently contributed an article to the engineering press that has attracted marked attention, as the following flattering comments taken from the November number of the International Marine Engineeering, show: Diesel Engines for Naval Purposes. —By Lieut. A. K. Atkins, U. 8. N. This is one of the most satisfactory contri­ butions to the literature of Diesel en­ gines in many months^ Uninfluenced by the idea of gain, and without the prejudice of too long experience with steam, Lieut. Atkins weighs the mer­ its of the Diesel engine for naval -ser­ vice, recognizing that steam is near the top of its efficiency and reliability curve, and that progress is pointing the way for this new motor to accom­ plish much more for speed, steaming radius and fuel-carrying capacity than Is at present possible with any means. After reviewing the essentials in the development of typts of Diesel engine practice, the author makes compari­ sons of motor service with examples of naval steam engine performance. The achievements of the former are now sufficient for such a comparison , on every point of service. A resume ol reasons for and against the oil en­ gine is carefully drawn up, which is a very sane statement of the situation. Too lengthy to be given here, even in condensed form. It is sufficient to say । that for a careful summing up of the I matter to the present time we have i not seen it excelled. The disadvantage mentioned in adopting the Diesel enI pine are the need of frequent cyllnj der cleaning, possible rise in the price of oil fuel, danger in carrying fuel oil in bulk and the high cost of the installation. These are, of course, matters calling for careful considera­ tion, but with such quondam dlfficul' ties as reliability, continuous operaI tion for long periods of time and I maneuvering qualities unmentioned 1 pf serious objections to the service. - the way looks bright indeed for the j rapid adoption of the Diesel motor.

DECEMBER 5. 1912 heroic effort to exterminate dread HER STRONG REMARKS BROWNTAIL AND GYPSY MOTH IN THE EAST By FRANK ROU8ELETT. One of the Most Successful Devices Yet Used Is the Hannigan “Moth-Pot”—Electric Company Makes Experiments With Arc Lamp Especially Arranged. Although the work has not attracted * treat deal ot attention outside ot New England, it is nevertheless a fact that the United States department of agriculture has been expending about •100,000 annually in New Hampshire io an heroic effort to exterminate the dread browntail and gypsy moth pests. In addition, the legislatures of New Hampshire and Massachusetts have set aside smaller sums to help on the york. Both pests continue to advance over an everwidening area, so that it will not be long before other states Which now neglect the opportunity of warding off trouble will find themaatves engaged in the same battle. The widest variety of devices for killing off the pests have been put Into service. One of the most success­ ful of these was the so-called Hanni­ gan "moth pot,” which consisted In the essence of a flaring pot and a quantity of burning crude oil. At first these were set upon the ground in commons and other open places but later they were hung from the mast arms of street lamps, the best loca­ tion being found to be about three feet back from the arc lamp, meas­ ured along the mast arm, and three feet below. Even at this distance, however, the heavy black smoke from the smudge soiled the arm and was in teveral ways disagreeable. The Manchester Traction, Light and Power company had meanwhile been experimenting with an arc lamp ar- Aro Lamp Bowl Used in Electrocuting Moths. rangement to accomplish the same ends aa the moth pots and the accom­ panying drawing shows the type of globe which waa finally adopted after considerable experimenting. It is used on 71 volts, 7H ampere, series alternating arc lamps, fitted with clear glass Inner globes. From the draw­ ing the glass workers manufactured a mold and from this 605 of the special globes were cast By the terms of the contract, the electric light com­ pany was to cart these globes to the lamps, put them on, take away and store the regular globes, empty the globes daily, keep track of the quanti­ ty caught and, at the end of the moths’ flight, replace the old globes and store the special globes until the next year. The globes were put on with the out away part up, so that the moths fluttering around the light would fall into the bowl. The first gathering waa made July 8. The flight, which usually continues about eight days, this year lasted 15 days. Between July 8 and July 23, there were collect­ ed from the globes 107 5-16 bushels within the city and 12 7-16 bushels from the globes placed at two of the summer resorts. Two different quarts were counted, one moth at a time, and it waa found that there were just about 1,600 moths । to a quart. Of these about two-thtrds | were females. This fact could easily be determined from the moths as taken from the globes, but careful ob­ servations were made of those which thickly encrusted the street lamp i poles, trees, sides of buildings, etc., ; and gave good evidence that this per- | centage was accurate enough for all purposes. In a bushel there were, of i course, 51,200 moths, according to these figures, or 6,494,500 in all. If 60 per cent were females, the figure would be 3,296,640. In a year the de- I velopment resulting from the eggs 1 deposited by each female would be ' about 400, so that if the quantity men- ' tioned had not been destroyed in the ' electric light globes, they would have produced in excess of 1,318,656,000 , other moths to get busy on the trees i in 1913. Adding to this figure the number that would be developed by the females captured at the two sum­ mer resorts. Lake Massabeslc and Pine Island Park, the total of 1,474.­ 560,000 is reached, a truly astounding figure. , In collecting the moths from the globes the lamp trimmer simply placed his hand over the opening at the bottom, removed the globe and dumped the contents after measure­ ment into two-bushel bags of close • woven goods. Measuring was done by means of a ten-quart flaring pail. ■ suitably marked on the sides. The condition of the employes who at­ tended to this job was shocking, as they were covered with rash from their toes to tbe top of their heads. Some of them found it necessary to bathe in creoline or strong yellow j soap baths five or six times a day. When thrown loosely in, such a I globe as that shown would hold about 10% quarts of moths. However, after a globe got about half filled the moths seemed to stew from the heat of the lamp, so that about half way through the heap would be wet and at the bottom "muddy.” Several of the inner globes gave way under the 1 confinement of the heat and were badly distorted and discolored. Some- ( times the globes would be so full that! the moths would be heaped up and on moat of the heavy catch days they were almost full to the brim. From the globes the moths were taken to one of the generating stations, where they were thrown into the furnaces and burned. | The theory upon which the device works Is that the globes shall be cut off at such a height that the moths can easily fly inside but be unable conveniently to fly out The shape shown was found to be best when used with the regulation type of ob­ tuse angled reflectors. Examination of the moths when taken from the globes showed them not to be badly burned, except occasionally on the | head. Death seemed to have resulted from general suffocation from the in­ tense heat or from Impact against the walls of the death chamber. | The mold is now at the glass fac­ tor/ and any public service corpora­ tion or municipality can obtain the special globes at the same price as the regular type, as the mold has been placed on file. • ; | i i i i ( ' | | । ; (By R. 8. KELLOGG.) Moat of the forests in tbe United States are privately owned. Approx­ imately 20 per cent, of the standing timber in the country is held by the federal government In national for­ ests, Indian reservations, national parks and on the unreserved .public domain, and by the statee in the state I reserves or other state lands. These i public forests contain more than 100,- I 000.000 acres of saw timber. i The estimated total amount of standing saw timber controlled by ‘ the federal government is 448.860.595 ; M. board feet The most of this tim- i ber is. of course, in national forests. In addition to the above amount, there are perhaps seventy-five billion feet held by the states either in reserves or upon lands of various classes. The private forests are of two dis­ tinct classes, (1) far’- rrf woodlots and (2) large licld’n itbcr Indi- । viflual or corpora ». * farmers’ woodlots are chiefly tc.ru.red ar detacbed remnants of the original for-1 eats which as a rule have been se- . verelv culled. They are mainly in the eastern half of the United States and cover some two hundred million acres, with a stand of perhaps three hundred billion board feet of saw timber and one and one-half billion cords of wood. Aside from their protective and orna­ mental value, they furnish much fire­ wood, many posts, poles, and cross­ ties, and some lumber and cooperage stock. Tbe larger private holdings contain about seventeen hundred billion feet. These holdings generally include the best timber in the regions in which I they occur, since private capital al­ ways seeks the best possible invest­ ment. They are the principal sources of the lumber which is used today, and upon tbe manner in which they ■j arc managed depends in a large degree I the timber supply of the future. I So far, true forestry has been prac­ ticed to only a slight extent, or not I at all, upon the forests in private I hands, and, because of lack of funds, it has not yet been possible to apply right methods of forest management I to all public forests, though such I methods will eventually be used in hnndlinr th«»m. The map -riven here­ j with shows the forest lands of ths I government. I "Good night," said the young man. Put he made no move from the far corner of the divan where he was seated. The young woman sitting with her head obstinately turned from him moved it back perhaps half an inch. “What are you going for?" she de­ manded. "Well." said the young man, "I gathered from your last set of re­ marks that you could breathe more freely if the atmosphere of the room were not contaminated by my pres­ ence—that there would be more space to turn around If the place were not cluttered up by undesirable commod­ ities. in short. I rather figured it out that it was a hint for me to leave!" "I'm sure,” said tbe young woman, “that I don’t want you to stay if you'd rather go! I wouldn't keep you for a minute against your will. It certainly shows when you eagerly seize upon the simplest remarks and twist them about to suit your own convenience that you are looking for a chance to escape! Don't let me de­ tain you, I beg!" “Oh, you aren't detaining me," the young man assured her. “Before I go I'd like to point out that you are in error when you call your remarks simple. They were not. On the con­ trary, they were exceedingly forceful and emphatic. "While those remarks were clear in meaning they were complicated in de­ sign—you started on one topic and included sixteen others-in the same sentence—so I am rather proud than otherwise that I was able to make out precisely what you meant. It proves to me that I have at least brains enough to come in out of tho rain. I rather doubted this at first in the face of what you said. But I couldn’t go away and leave you laboring under the delusion that you had something to say that was entirely ineffective and simple. What you said hit the spot!" “I don’t know what you are talking about!” sold the young woman. "I suppose you think you are funny!" “Funny!" the young man echoed in hollow tones. “What do you think I am? Do I impress you as the sort of person who would dance and sing at his own funeral? Why should I be mirthful at having received my walk­ ing papers V ■ “I hate slang,” observed the young woman. “Don’t be silly. I never said anything like that" The young man shook his head In a resigned manner. “Don’t draw out the agony for me, Genevieve,” he said. “It’s cruelty to attempt to smother the blow. Having given it why at­ tempt to feed me chocolate drops? As I said some time ago, good night!” “I wish you wouldn’t be eo foolish,** said the young woman, turning clear around toward him. “If you go home now, at nine o’clock, mother and every one else will want to know what on earth is the matter! So will that Spreese girl across the street I can see her in their front window now. She’ll spread it all over the neighbor­ hood in no time at all that we’ve quar­ reled!” ‘ "Why fear the truth?" inquired the young man. “I suppose sooner or later it will dawn on the people that I don't come here any more and—’’ “Do you mean to say that you aren’t ever coming to see me again?" the young woman broke In, sharply. “Why should I?” asked the young man, resignedly. "It never would oc­ cur to me that I was welcome after having been told that I wasn’t!” “I didn't tell you that” "You may have clothed the idea in graceful language," conceded the young man, “but It was there with both feet all right! It is plain to be seen that you're tired of me and It has all been a mistake. I apologize for hypnotizing you into engaging yourself to me and I regret the amount of the electric light bills that I have piled up for your father. I will say nothing about my ruined life because that is a subject that would not in­ terest you. I think it is time to say good—” "I never in my life,” interrupted tho young woman with indignation, “saw a person twist things the way you do. I didn't say anything at all!" "Yes, you did—plenty!” “Well," said the young woman anxiously, “if I did I didn’t mean it, really!” “Well, that’s different," conceded the young man. “Can It be that you don’t want me to go?" "Of course not—foolish! That Spreese girl across the street would be perfectly sure to hear of IL” “Really," said the young man, mov­ ing over close to her, "that Spreese girl is an angel, since she has been kind enough to fix up our quarrel for os.”—Chicago Daily News. Looking Upward. Is not this little paragraph from Maeterlinck worth pondering; nay, more, is it not worth acting upon? “Wo must learn to live in a beauty, an earnestness, that shall become a part of ourselves. In life there is no creature so degraded but knows full well which Is the noble and beautiful thing that he should do; but this noble, beautiful thing is not strong enough within him. It is this invisible but abstract strength that it must bo our endeavor to increase first of all.

I’ve got all there is cut of everything that touched my life and if that is not living what is? So you see whether we lead a colorless existence or whether we live is simp­ ly a matter of choice. If we choose we can find a lesson in our work, in our sickness, in our trouble and in our joys. There is something every moment of the day and the finding of ii is what makes life."

The distance from the base of the lower notch to the base of the up­ per notch in the triangular support is three feet, which gives sufficient height to the fence to suit its purpose for fencing in either hogs, sheep or calves. In constructing the panels or hurdles this distance should be kept in mind when the upper and lower boards are nailed to the uprights. Ob­ viously the distance from the lower edge of the lower board to the lower edge of the top board must corre­ spond to It to give firmness and a close fit to the fence when it Is set up. The length of the panels may be eith­ er If. or 16 feet. If the hurdles and triangular sup­ port* of this style of panel fence are carefully constructed of good material and are carefully and properly stored away under suitable protection from the weather, they will give service for a long term of years and will not be found expensive. If, however, they are not properly made and cared for they will be found a very expensive form of fencing. For convenience in fencing off forage lots for the calves, bogs and sheep where frequent charges are made they have no super­ ior. ।PRACTICAL TESTS . PROPER SYSTEM IN NEW FARMING 0F BOOKKEEPING The Missouri experiment station Is making co-operative experiments with the farmers in 105 cf the 114 counties of the state. These co-operative ex­ periments are conducted for the pur­ pose of determining the beat methods Of soil tilsge, varieties of farm crops, methods of fruit production, profitable dairy farms and the organisation and administration of farm enterprises. In 1911, there were 366 men In 105 counties co-operating with the central Experiment Station of Columbia In ex­ periments to determine the best meth­ ods of farming. In carrying on this work, 3,000 packages of seed and more than 20,000 pounds of fertilizer were used. These co-operative experiments have already demonstrated that alfalfa can be successfully grown In every county of the state.

Farmer,' Bulletin 511 ot the Depart­ ment of Agriculture contains some in­ teresting facts and recommendations In connection with bookkeeping On the farm. “That there are over six mil­ lion farms in the country which util­ ize land, labor, and capital as means of income making" gives the author, the opportunity to discuss the subject of the value of the fanner keeping an accurate and systematic account of his farm management the same as the business man or the railroad mag­ nate. This bulletin is not an attempt to outline a system of bookkeeping fo> the farmer. It is rather a discussion of the principles which are applicable to accounts on the farm. It Is be­ lieved that any farmer who studies this bulletin sufficiently to grasp these principles will be able to devise a sys­ tem suited to his particular needs. Two Important points must be con­ sidered in an attempt at farm book­ keeping. What does It cost to pro­ duce farm products? By selling at market prices, what profit is made on them? “The problem of the fanner is to meet conditions on his own farm in a way which will give him the greatest net returns for his labor and the use ot his capital. He should receive in­ terest on his capital as well as wages for his labor, but owing to the lack of I proper records few farmere know ; what wages they actually receive. . There is reason to believe that the ma­ jority of farmers are really living on the interest of their investments rath­ er than on the profits of their farms." These suggestions are offered: I (1) Consider as one unit all that ! may be termed real estate, as land, farm buildings, fences, ditches, etc., । whether the farm is rented or owned by the operator. (2) Do not consider that the farI mer or his family receive anything for । their labor unless they are paid In1 cash the same as hired labor. If there is a surplus at the end of tbe year, it • Is their compensation. In this way ; the accounts will not be confused with । items not strictly cash. j (3) Farm products used by the household should not be credited to ■ the farm In the cash account along with the products sold, but should be taken care of separately."

NEP. SILSBEE’S HONE ROBBED STRANGER'" ENTERS HOUSE IN EARLY PART OF EVENING. SECURES TEN DOLLARS. Enters and Escapes Through Front Door. .Leaves Trousers on Front Porch. Awakens Mrs. Silsbee. A man, cither local or a stranger, entered the home of Kep. Silsbee Saturday night about ten-thirty and though he made his exit in haste, he carried with him as far as the porch, the trousers belonging to Mr. Silsbee. On his way to the porch he extract­ ed ten dollars from the pockets and left a few dollars in change and threw the trousers upon the porch where they were found later. Mr. and Mrs. Silsbee retired at tentwenty, Mr. Silsbee leaving his trousers on a divan which was in the room. In the trouser’s pockets was a ten dollar note, some change and a largo key. A short time later Mrs. Silsbee was awakened by hearing something strike against a chair near the doorway of the bed room. Knowing that her daughter Cora had retired she at once thought that someone was in the house, she im­ mediately awakened Mr. Silsbee antj told him someone was In the house. After ahe had called to her daughter and received no reply Mr. Silsbee arose and went into the room ad­ joining. He at once noticed that the front door was open and on going through the door to the porch found Ids trousers. Mrs. Silsbee upon find­ ing that someone had been in the tone went at once to ner daughter's room to ascertain her safety and saw through a window in the room, a man harrying south on Dibble street. No trace of the man could be found as no wne bad seeh him and a description him was lacking. Whether or not this petty robbery was perpetrated toy local talent is not known, but indications show such, ae anyone could have very easily peered into the room occupied by Mr. BUsbee as it is on the ground floor and their actions could have been watched very easily, in fact it is easy to assume that whoever the rob­ ber was he knew where Mr. Silsbee's trousers were and even passed his coat and vest in which was a valua­ ble watch. As there was only a twenty minute interim from the time Mr. and Mrs. Silsbee retired until they were awakened, no doubt the robber knew that he would have to be quick and get his work done before Mr. Silsbee’s son returned from a show which he was attending. As yet no trace of the robber has been found •and it Is doubtful whether he will be found out. but sooner or later If such actions are repeated he will not be so fortunate as to escape as he did 3n this instance.

AU the people who could possi­ bly crowd around the tables, 325 in number, partook of the appetizing supper served by the ladies of the church. The guests were arranged according to their native states or countries, and after the banquet had been enjoyed, there followed the feast of wit and eloquence, which formed the novel feature of the evening.

No Trace of the Mun Found YeL A mon giving the name of Jos.Wai­ ters, who was selling an apparatus which is made by the Economy Spec­ ialty Co. of Grand Rapids, came to this city and through Win. Jeursema, his employer, gained access to Kep Silsbee’s good faith, took advantage of it and asked Mr. Silsbee to cash a check for $35 which Mr. Silsbee did. He also worked the same game on R. Kowalski, owner of the Hotel Barry, but for a little larger sum, Mr. Ko­ walski’s loss being $45. Having known Mr. Jeursema for many years Mr. Silsbee accepted Mr. Walter's as an honest man who was In business with his friend. Walters made his headquarters at the store occupied by Mr. Silsbee and at one time when Mr. Silsbee was putting his stock of watches on display he declared he intended buying a watch for a gift, and after looking nt sev­ eral chose one which would cost $13. He did not take the watch at this time but asked Mr. Silsbee to save it for him, claiming he would get it later. On Saturday night he claimed to have received a check from his partner and wanted Mr. Silsbee to cash it, but as there was not enough money In the store at this time he suggested that the pay for the watch be taken from the amount of the check. This was done and from the Jewelry store he went to the Hotel ’tarry to pay his bill. But again it was a check—and after paying his bill and securing the balance he left for Grand Rapids.

Annual Meeting of Agricultural So* ciety Saturday, Dec. 14th. The second Saturday in December is the time set by the by laws of the Barry County Agricultural society for its annual meeting—all members c.f the society should try to attend the meeting and take part in its delibera­ tions and election of officers. The fair belongs to the people of the county, not to the officers and board of directors, and its success depends upon the interest which the people take In it and the support which they give it. The selection of the right men to conduct its affairs is impor­ tant. Hence, the desirability of a large attendance at the annual meet­ ing. Do not neglect to attend the meet­ ing at the court house Saturday and vote for officers. The polls will be open from 10:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. A SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE TWO EXPERTS FROM X. A. C. WILL TEACH FARMERS OF BARRY SCIENTIFIC METHODS. Hastings Grange Has Arranged With Authorities at Lansing for Week’s Lectures In Jannary. The value of a scientific knowledge of agriculture is beginning to be ap­ preciated as never before, and It evi­ dences the progressive spirit of our local grange that they have induced the state agricultural college at Lan­ sing to send two teachers from that institution to give instruction to the farmers of Barry county for the week beginning Jan. 13. These teach­ ers will be R. L. Nye and C. A. Tyler. The school will be held in the basement of the M. E. church, where tables and conveniences will be pro­ vided. Mr. Nye will discuss farm rops, soils, and farm management. . Mr. Tyler’s topic will be: Live stock, forestry and treatment of hog cholera and bovine tuberculosis. The lectures will be free to all who may wish to hear them. Those who plan to attend are requested to notify F. R. Pancoast, In order that ar­ rangements may be made for tables, etc. Everybody Urged to Cone To Mass Meeting Friday Night. Friday night Is the date set for the large mass meeting which Is to be held at the City Hall at 7:30 sharp. Every person in the city whether In­ terested in business or factory work should turn out and make this meet­ ing a success. It is for the benefit of the laboring man as- much as for the business man. This meeting is called by the Hastings Improvement Association for the purpose of dis­ cussing the betterment of Hastings, not in any one small light but for the betterment of everybody. The meet­ ing is to arouse enthusiasm and in­ terest in securing factories for the city. There will be men present who will be able to discuss this question In all its phases and all the details will be explained by those interested. Remember this is every body’s meet­ ing, not for the betterment of any one individual or company, but for the betterment of Hastings, its business men and the laboring men. Don't fail to attend and ma& this meeting monstrous in size of attendance, en­ thusiasm and the good it will do. Remember the time and come. Has Fine Display. The Mulholland drug store has made special effort in the way of trimming the store, and display of holiday goods. The effect is very pleasing, and there is a stock of Christmas goods which surpasses all previous exhibitions. Shoppers will be hard to please who cannot find In this stock something to suit their taste. Mr. Mulholland Is certainly entitled to a visit from the Christmas buyers. REPORT OF LEE SCHOOL.

More than one hundred of the world's great­ est orators will take part in the program and It is expected that at least 20,000 people will attend from various parts of the world. The killing of a badger in Kalama­ zoo county, after an exciting battle and fourteen bullets had been shot into it and a large “shepherd dog boon licked to a frazzle,” Is going the rounds of the state press. The variments will stand a let cold lead, and no deg has any license to whip one. The writer saw one whip three dogs as fast as it got to them, al­ though it had lost a foot in a trap, and had a charge of buckshot in Its Be body. A rifle ball in the head termi­ nated the fight. Andrew J. Baker, of Oshtemo, the father of Mrs. C. O. Hubbard of this city, who was reported in a critical condition last week, on account of asphyxiation from coal gas. died in a Kalamazoo hospital Thursday. The old gentleman, who was 76 years old, ■preferred to live alone, although his children had frequently urged him to come and live with them. Besides his daughter, Mrs. Hubbard, he leaves a ward, Mrs. Mamie Gildey, of Osh­ temo. In addition' to Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, J. L. Crawley and Mr. and Mrs. Homer Aidham went over to at­ tend the funeral, which was held Sunday. The fire department was called out yesterday at nocn to the residence of Dr. H. A. Barber on Jefferson street, where a blnze was discovered on the roof. The firemen soon had the fire under control. Damage was slight John Ln in bi e, father of Robert M. Lamble of this city, died at his home In Grand Ledge Sunday, at the great »ge of 9G years. Mr. Lambie was a remarkably well preserved man, en­ joying perfect health and taking a deep intercut in the affairs of Life up to a few days before his death. He was a man of amiable character and afforded a notable exemple of growing old happily and well. Barry county taxpayers would do well to examine the tax they are compelled to pay for the building of state roads In the northern counties. I: is a well known fact that many counties of northern Michigan have more miles of state road than can be found outside of Wayne, Kent and Kalamazoo counties. Barry county has splendid road material in even’ tf.wn»hjp. and a good roads system could give tills county a prestige that v.ceM be v’orth as much ae It costs rech yaar.

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A BANK ACCOUNT The above stands out glaringly to those who are in this circum­ stance, wishing that they hod wisely saved a little money from time to time so they could remember the many friends and relatives. The importance of having a savings account is shown to more people at this time of the year than at any other. Surely at this time of giving and receiving the words that “it is more blessed to give than to re­ ceive” stand out more prominent and the full meaning of these words are felt. BEGIN SAVING NOW It is never to late to begin saving. By doing so now you will atone for the past and in a way, make up for the time you have lost. What little you save now may not begreat in money value but will be greater in real value from the fact that you will form the habit which lateron will be of great benefit to you not only at Christmas time but at a time which will come to you which will be of more importance than this Christmas time.

Has Had No Effect on the Criminal Element, While Law-Abiding Citi­ zens Are Left Without Means of Protecting Themselves. New York.—One year has passed since the “Sullivan law,” aimed to prevent the carrying of concealed weapons, became a law, and, as was predicted a year ago. the law proved an utter failure. Crooks and other criminals continued to carry con­ cealed arms In spite of the law, which felt heavily only upon a number of law-abiding citizens who were the pos­ sessors of arms for protection and neglected to get rid of them before the law became effective. In other words, the law merely had the effect of depriving the law-abiding citizens of their means of protection, while the criminals, against whom they tried to protect themselves, were left in possession of their weapons. According to the annual report of the coroner, just issued, there were 106 homicides by shooting during the last twelve months in Manhattan, only two less than in 1910, when the highwater mark in the number of homi­ cides by shooting was reached. In eighteen of these cases the circum­ stances did not call for an arrest, while in righty-eight cases arrests were clearly in order. As a matter of facL however, arrests were made only in thirty-seven of the cases, leav­ ing fifty-one cases In which no ar­ rests were made. Under the Sullivan law it is Illegal for any dealer to sell a pistol or other dangerous weapon prescribed by the law to any person not in possession of a license for owning and carrying such weapons. In spite of this fact It is estimated that during the last twelve months more than 5,000 revolv­ ers were sold by dealers and pawn­ brokers in this city in violation of the law. John Schrank, the man who shot Colonel Roosevelt, admitted after his arrest that he had bought the revolver from which the shot was fired in a shop on Broadway, near Canal street, in this city. Another significant fea­ ture is that gang fights in which pis­ tols ware used were more frequent during the last twelve months than ever before. This clearly shows that the lawless element paid no attention to the law and evaded the enforce­ ment of It, while the law-abiding cltlsens suffered, just as had been pre­ dicted. .

REMEMBER nothing but the best work is turned out at STEI = THE PHOTO SHOP CZAR RICHEST MM Income Exceeds $30,000,000 and Is Growing Rapidly. Rebuke for Treasurer—Emperor An­ gry at Baron Menchlkoff for His “Undignified Comparisons.” St. Petersburg.—While Russia is a frequent and large borrower among the nations of the earth. Emperor Nicholas, according to a statement presented to his majesty by the impe­ rial treasurer general, is the richest man in the world. The statement is couched in fanciful language, but the facts which it recites are said by St. Petersburg bankers to be beyond dis­ pute. "Your majesty,” says Baron Menchikoff, "need have no fear of ever com­ ing to suffer the stings of poverty. Financially you are solvency Itself. With one hand you could buy out the American multimillionaires, Rockefel­ ler and Morgan, and still have sufllclent In the other to talk business with Baron Rothschild. Or, if you prefer, you can take over the Krupps, although I would not recommend the investment” The czar is very angry with Baron Menchlkoff and his playful ways, and rebuked him soundly for indulging In "such undignified comparisons." The czar’s civil list amounts to nearly two millions sterling. Including the amounts paid to the grand dukes, and of this sum more than a million is available for his own private pur­ poses. Then he owns lands in Russia In Europe which cover an area equal to that of the whole of Nevada, of which tho revenues reach the vast sum of $20,000,000 a year, of which $5,000,000 is paid to the grand ducal families. The czar's lauds in Siberia bring him in another $7,000,000, al­ though they are at present largely un­ developed. Altogether, including in­ terest on savings, the czar's Income exceeds $20,000,000, and is Increasing rapidly. He sets aside each year a large sum for each of his four daugh­ ters, so that If any one of the royal prlnoes contracts a marriage in that quarter he will do extremely well from a worldly point of view—though, of course, the exact disposition of the czar's huge fortune is known only to himself and his financial adviser. ODO SUIT AGAINST Paris.—A curious action against a doctor considered of great importance from tho standpoint of the responsi­ bility of surgeons has Just been fought out In the Paris law courts. ' A few weeks ago a doctor was call­ ed upon to perform an operation for appendicitis on a hospital patient. The latter’s body, in accordance with the general rule in such cases was previ­ ously rubbed over with alcohol, but owing to the peculiar conformation of the man's side, some liquid remained in a small hollow instead of being wiped off again. Before using the scalpel the director decided to burn away a small outer turnover, which might have infected the wound, but in doing this he set fire to the spirit, causing the patient severe Injuries. Medical experts, who investigated the affair for the hospital authorities, reported that the burns were due to the patient’s abnormal shape, were, so far as the doctor was concerned, a pure accident • On the case being tried before the Paris courts, however, tho latter de­ cided that for the patient’s body to be of slightly different shape from normal does not relieve the surgeon from any of his responsibilities, since he has every opportunity of observing what these differences are, and therefore awarded the patient $3,000 damages.

"What are you doing here, dear?" asked the astonished mother. “Why, what are you doing here, dear mamma?” queried the equally surprised daughter. The mother was the first to regain her composure. "We have just been married," she said. "And so have we," answered the daughter. The two wedded couples returned to Trenton. Rome.—Dr. Lillian W.

Albert, living in Lyman county, has been enriched to the extent of a one dollar bill- as the result of an in­ cident which occurred about twenty years ago and which had long since been forgotten. i Among the utensils in the Albert kitchen twenty years ago were a set of plated flatirons. During the win­ , ter, when the house was heated by a : base-burner stove, Mrs. Albert era­ j ployed a hired girt. The girl In doing an Ironing thought the kitchen stove . too slow and dumped the flatirons 1 upon the coals in the base burner. In a few minutes the irons were melted I to such an extent aa to ruin them. J In the spring the girl left and Mrs.. Albert had forgotten her until a few days ago, when she was surprised to receive a letter from a California town containing a one dollar bill. ; The letter and money were from her hired girl of twenty years ago, the : girl now being married and quite wealthy. In the letter she stated that her conscience had troubled her dur­ ing the intervening years because the flatirons wepe ruined through her carelessness. She stated further that she wanted to make good the loss and believed one dollar would replace the । irons now. Wanfs FOR SALE—Excellent location with ware house, opposite C.

Lansing, Mich., Dec. 6.—According to Deputy Smith of the state geolog­ ical department, this state is infected with “wildcat” oil well operators, who are reaping a heavy revenue from farmers and small investors. Deputy Smith says the ■'wildcatters" care for but little but to charge the farmers exorbitant prices for drilling wells. The scheme of the well promoters is simple. They go Into a community and tell the farmers that the condi­ tions are favorable for the finding of oil. Several farmers are usually In­ duced to band together and contrib­ ute for the drill. An effort is then made at drilling a well, and a hole is sunk a short distance. Being in­ experienced in such work, the farm­ ers are unable to tell how-deep the operators aro going. Usually but one hole is dug and oil has yet to be found by any' of these operators. “It’s a 1,000 to 1 shot that oil won’t be hit, even if the wells are dug the usual distance," says Mr. Smith, “but In the manner that the ‘wildcatters’ work there is absolutely no chance of getting oil because they don’t go down far enough. “The state geological department wishes to warn all people thinking of putting money in the oil business to lie aware of whom they deal with. It is best to inquire of the state officials r.s to the probability of striking oil In the particular locality. “There is also a horde of promoters on the trail of the small investors, seeking to sell stock in companies that are being organized."

Incident of Long Ago Had Direct ••nring on Civil War, Which Fol­ lowed It After Twenty-Five Years. HASTINGS JOURNAL-HERALD THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1912 CURIOSITY BRINGS ODD RIDE Man Peers Into Barrel, Loses Balance and Rolls Down Street—Naile Cause Him to Howl. Williamsburg. Pa.—An animated barrel rolling along Kent avenue, near South Tenth street, caused pedestrians to pause In open-mouthed wonder. From the headless end of the barrel protruded a pair of legs. From the general Interior issued muffled howls for help. Within the barrel—but the fact did not appear at the moment—was a good deal of Thomas Roach, a machinist living at No. 30 Norton street, and some nails. The nails were extremely Irritating to Roach and disastrous to his clothes, hence the howls. Roach—and thia also became evi­ dent after the man had been removed from the barrel and the nails from hls anatomy—got into the barrel and a large amount of trouble through cur­ iosity. Wishing to know what was within he peeked in, lost his balance and tell In. Encountering the nails Roach rolled into the middle of the street in a vain effort tc detach himself. But the further he rolled the more tenacious did the nails lay hold of hls clothes and flesh and the greater was his agony. Roach waved hls legs as an added plea for help, but none came. Pedestrians seemed to think the man in the barrel might be paying a bet and as hls antics were highly amuslng. they set to and helped roll him until he had progressed a block. They were still rolling when Police­ man Bender of the Clymer street sta­ tion appeared. He tried to pull the prisoner out, but desisted when Roach shrieked with pain. Peering into the barrel Bender saw the nails and got a saw and an axe. By liberal use of both he finally ex­ tricated pretty much all of Roach and some of bis clothes. Then he sent to the Eastern District hospital for an ambulance. The surgeon took Roach into the ambulance and applied plaster until he looked more or less like a patchwork quilt Then Roacb went home. Alton, 111.—Seventy-live years ago there occurred Id this city an event which, with the single exception of the John Brown raid, wm probably the most sensational feature of the long struggling over the slavery ques­ tion that preceded the Civil war. ihls was the mobbing and destruction of an anti-slavery paper and the mur­ der of Its editor, Elijah P. Lovejoy. Although it occurred twenty-five years before the war, it contributed in a marked degree to that culmination. Elijah P. Lovejoy was of an ardent­ ly pious nature, and his advocacy of the cause for which he perished took the form of extremely violent attacks on the Institution of slavery, and all who directly or indirectly helped to favor and perpetuate it In 1826 Lovejoy, then a young man of twenty-four, came from bls home In Maine to St. Louis, where he establish­ ed a school and became an industrious contributor to the press. Several years later he took an active interest in politics and became the editor of a political newspaper which advocated the election of Henry Clay for the presidency. Although he was unsuccessful in his campaign he earned the reputation and Influence of a political leader, but in three years more he became pos ■eased of so much religious zeal that he determined to enter the ministry, and be was licensed to preach in 1888. As editor of the Observer, a relig­ ious paper published in SL Louis, ( Lovejoy began his most ardent advo’ cany of abolition.

After having had six win­ ters* experience In Alberta, we are using eighteen houses of the type il­ lustrated In this article, that have been constructed somewhat cheaper than the houses we used in Ontario.

' We build the houses four feel high 1 on the northside and seven feet high on the south side. No matter what design of house is built, the south side should not be less than seven feet high, with the windows extending right to the top. Starting at the bot­ tom of the house (remember there is no board floor) there should be suf­ ficient earth brought in in the fall of the year to raise the ground inside about six Inches higher than the ground outside. That will give good drainage so that the earth will re­ main loose and dry all winter. It also provides a dust bath for the fowls and does away with the box in the corner. Six or eight Inches of threshed straw should be placed on the ground inside the house in the winter, so that the birds can be kept busy In the cold weather. The drop­ ping board is built 20 inches above the ground, and should be 18 inches wide for each perch. The perches should be 2x4 scantling, on edge, or a good, strong pole, and should be suspended from the roof and not touch the side of the house, as it is ‘ much easier to Isolate the fowls from 1 the vermin than to keep the vermin out of the house.

I ROH BENSONiA MAN THOUGH NOT LARGELY ATTEND­ ED MUCH INTEREST WAS MANIFESTED. December 18. 1912. The Hastings Journal-Herald. . Clt>’ Dear Editors: 1 am enclosing you (cpy of a letter received recently from Dr. E. J. C. Ellis of Benzonia. The doctor was written lo and rcquested lo subscribe 81.00 member­ ship fee in tlie Michigan State Good Roads Association. Tlie reasons that he gives for declining to aid our as­ sociation should be read by every man in Barry county who voted against the county road system last April. Tlie northern counties of tlie state are building two miles to every one for the southern counties. These northern counties pay but a small part of the static taxes and just so long as tlie wealthier counties of the southern part of the state are willing to pay for their roads, they seem quite willing to use the money and build them. They are very much alarmed lest the counties in the southern part of the state should awaken to the fact that they are pay­ ing for the roads in the northern counties. Dr. Ellis in his letter to me frankly admits the situation and he deserves credit for being frank at least. No wonder the doctor does not want to aid our association in its en­ deavor to carry on a campaign of edu­ cation. Very truly yours, P. T. Col grove. Steps Will Be Taken to Raise Fund for Securing Factory Building for Barnes Co. The business men's meeting which was culled for last Friday evening nt the city hall, was not as well attend­ ed as tlie importance of its purpose would seem to demand. In fact busi­ ness men were chiefly conspicuous by their absence. A number of clrcuirr lances contributed to tills failure of the business men to attend. The holiday season, the disagreable weather, the meeting of the council and other engagements no doubt kept some away, but it hardly- accounts for the absence of all except about a half dozen merchants. Nevertheless, the meeting was not without results that promise to be of value if they are followed up, as they probably will be. AVhlle but few business men were present, there was a good representation of laboring men, factory- employes nnd others who are interested In the welfare of the city, and a fine spirit of harmony and willingness to co-operate for the common good was manifested. There is reason to believe that this spirit will become contagious and that the effort now being made will be suc­ cessful. F. R. Pancoast, president of the Improvement Association, called the meeting to order and explained at some length its purposes. He then called on M. L. Cook, who gave such Information as he could relative to tlie proposition of helping the Barnes Vacuum Cleaner company- in their attempt to secure better facilities to manufacture their goods. He. made the point that it would be better for the city to give its assistance lo rmal I, but promising institutions rather than attempt to concentrate all effort on some one large factory proposition, maintaining that small factories would become fully identi­ fied with the city’ as they expanded and would be more likely a remain i here permanently than a big institu­ tion. M. 13. Osborne gave his view of the Barnes vacuum cleaner business from his year and a half of practical ex­ perience In handling these cleaners, as a general selling agent. From his own personal knowledge he argued that the Industry has great possibilities of growth and expan­ sion. A. K. Fransden then spoke at some length on the aims nnd purposes of the Improvement Association and urged all citizens to join. A motion was made and carried in­ structing the president to appoint a committee of three to solicit sub­ scriptions to a fund for its purpose of assisting the Barnes company to secure a suitable building for their factory-. Mr. Pancoast announced that he would appoint this conmlttee later, after which the meeting ad­ journed. HASTINGS CHAPTER Rest Dates For the Fair. M. E. BROTHERHOOD.

At the October session of the board ot supervisors the county treasurer was requested to tabulate and ascer­ tain the condition of the several drain funds, and report the same at the January session. Treasurer Reams has worked the matter out by refer­ ring to the county drain commission­ er’s books and records, and has found over 81,000 of funds belonging to twothirds of the various drains, ranging from two cents to over four hundrel dollars for each drain, and a number of drain funds overdrawn. The rec­ ords have been badly kept and there was several weeks of hard work to make out the exact status. Hereafter drain funds will be kept separate from general funds and drain orders paid when there are funds In the treasurer’s hands to pay them. A ledger accoirnt kept in such a manner as to show the exact status of each drain fund is easy, and no or­ ders should be paid or drawn or re­ ceived by any township treasurer be­ fore the fund is fully collected. This will be strictly adhered to by the Every Hun in Barry County Wln« Voted Against Comity Road System Should Read It. Mr. Philip T. Coigrove, Hastings, Mich. Dear Sir: Your invitation to be­ come a member of the Michigan State Good Roads Association has just ar­ rived and I decline with thanks, i consider the state award system a mighty good thing for Benzie and the surrounding counties^ and I fear that ft’ too many counties adopt the sys­ tem that the tax will be so large that tlie legislature will repeal it. In the meantime we have taken care of ail our worst roads and are building as fast as possible and are bonding heavily to do it and I believe that we have received about seventeen times as much help from the state as we have paid to the state for road taxes. You see that we feel mighty good about the state road law and do not feel like stirring up the wrong pas­ sengers at least ’before we have con­ structed all the good roads that we want. Respectfully, E. J. C. Ellis. Peat Possibilities for Hastings. Messrs. C. J. Scott, secretary and treasurer, and H. J. Jarvia, inventor, of Toledo, representing the Union Feat company of that city, have been in the city for a couple ot days in­ vestigating the amount, etc., ot natural peat or bog, in this locality, ■suitable for the manufacture of mar­ ketable peat and the by-products ob­ tained in its preparation. They have invented a machine for converting the muck into these products which they claim has solved the problem and are now looking for desirable locations in which to establish the business. Yesterday these gentlemen tested some muck obtained from a boggy pdece of ground northwest of the city. A small quantity, in an Iron retort was sujected to heat and produced gas which burned steadily for thirty minutes Messrs. Scott and Jarvis are very enthusiastic as to the possibilities of peat manufacture. It is claimed that from one ton of dried peat the fol­ lowing products can be obtained: । Gas, 19,000 cubic feet...................$19.00 Alcohol 42 gallons........................ 21.00 Sulphate of ammonia.................. 6.50 Feat charcoal, 700 pounds.......... 3.50 Making a total............................$50.00 If these claims can be substantiat­ ed and if a process of manufacture has been perfected which Is cheap and practicable In operation, as these men assert, there is no question that the proposition is a desirable one to consider. The Thornapple River Drain. The much touted Little Thornapple drain was given another boost toward Its final disposition, by a meeting held yesterday in tlie judge of pro­ bate office in this city. The com­ missioners of Ionia and Kent coun­ ties were present nnd the profile map of tlie drain was submitted by Com­ missioner Birdsall and approved by the commissioners nnd undisputed by any one present; there being n fair attendance from AVoodlnnd, Carlton and Irving. On request of the sev­ eral commissioners, Judge Mack ap­ pointed the special commission called for, consisting of Chas. H. Gaskill of this city, George Robinson of Dow­ ling, Fred Bristol of Johnstown. They will meet nt the probate office this city.

The first case called was that of Dr. Shipman, whose escapades have On become come what too frequent ~ arraignment he pleaded guilty and sentence was suspended.

While Mrs. Fred Hart was cleaning a warm stove with kerosene the other day, the cloth which was saturated with oil caught fire. Her first act was to rid herself of the rag. She gave it a toss onto the floor but it never reached the floor. Instead it dropped upon the back of a beauti­ ful white Angora cat and the burn­ ing of the hair made it stick. The cat, surprised and then frightened, tried to run away from the flames, and sought refuge under a bed, but finding the blaze was still with her, left her place of supposed safety and retreated to the next room where Mrs. Hart caught her and extinguished the flames. This occurrence might have resulted in a fire, but as It is, poor pussy is the only loser, -being minus her pretty while fur. Hastings National Bank Women's Club Had Thimble Party.

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A BANK ACCOUNT The above stands out glaringly to those who are in this circum­ stance, wishing that they had wisely saved a little money from time to time so they could remember the many friends and relatives. The importance of having a savings account is shown to more people at this time of the year than at any other. Surely at this time of giving and receiving the words that “it is more blessed to give than to re­ ceive’’ stand out more prominent and the full meaning of these words are felt. BEGIN SAVING NOW It is never to late to begin saving. By doing so now you will atone for the past and in a way, make up for the' time you have lost. What little you save now may not be great in money valuebut will be greater in real value from the fact that you will form the habit which later on will be of great benefit to you not oidy nt Christmas time but at a time which will come to you which will be of more importance than this Christmas time.

The snake was killed under unusual conditions. About 10 o’clock In the morning Mr. Bodenhofer5s attention wt-8 attracted to his chicken yard by the unusual cackling and scared cries of Ms barnyard fowls. His attention called to the Inside of the chicken house by the angry clucking of a set­ ting hen. He peered hastily through an open chinking in the building and In the dim light saw ah enormous black snake on the board on which the box nest with the setting hen sat. The ben valiantly defended her un­ hatched brood, meeting every attack with a flank movement of her beak. The fight waxed warm for some min­ utes, but finally the hen gave a fright­ ened cackle of defeat and flew off the nest, leaving the snake victorious with the spoils of the battle at his disposal. Mr. Bodenhofer is a photographer, and it flashed across his mind that the snake would make rather a unique picture on account of its size, if he could photograph it alive. The In­ terior of the chicken house was too *^ark to make a successful exposure and he was in a quandary. Mr. Bodenhofer became active when he say his quarry escaping and raked him away from the hole with the hoe.’ Then a happy Idea crossed his mind. The next time Bodenhofer waited un­ til he had straightened up, then he caught the very end of the hoe handle and at arm's length threw the blade and crook of the hoe around the stif­ fened, upright body of the reptile and started on a run through the door toward the front yard, dragging the twisting, squirming monster with him. His wife, seeing him coming, ■areamed and slammed the kitchen door, badly frightened. Old Pete, the gray and white house cat, was sitting on the jamb of the door when it was slammed so hastily shut, and was thrown rudely and bod■y down the kitchen steps and onto the ground. Ole Pete picked himself up, looking Hither “fussed,” just as Mr. Bodenhofer untangled the snake from the hoe and dropped it in an epen space about 20 feet from the house and ran for his camera in the front room. Old Pete’s attention was attracted to the snake and he started over to investigate. There was something In the beady, bright eyes of the snake that held Pete spellbound. Pets shivered. He had never felt that way before. The snake’s head slowly raised a few inches from the ground and began to move rhythmically from side to side. Pete’s tail also rose and followed the sinuous rhythmical movements of the diamond-shaped head. Mr. Bodenhofer by this time had lo­ cated his camera in the front room and came running with it, expecting to see the snake disappearing through the panels ot the fence. The unusual specticle which met his gaze waa so unlooked for that he. like the cat and snake, was held spellbound for a few seconds. His professional spirit broke the spell. What an ideal and perfect­ ly natural pose. Hastily, but care­ fully, he advanced on the silent pair. The snake’s head lowered to the ground, but the piercing eyes never left the cat. The cat's tall dropped, but the piercing gianep never failed. Mr. Bodenhofer set his tripod, fo­ cused, P« in his plateholder and pressed the bulb. He carried his camera back to the house and return­ ed. There was still no change in the attitudes ot the reptile and the cat. The hoe lying on the ground sug­ gested the end of the tableau, and taking up this weapon that he had used with such good results in the last encounter, he again advanced on the snake. Old Pete held him spell­ bound. Mr. Bodenhofer struck. The ftrst lick broke the big snake’s back. Xlth the sharp edge of the hoe he Bn chopped off Its head. Old Pete stood calmly by and watched the execatlon, then slowly walked off to a nnny place on the porch, licked his paws and washed his face.

SAYS MICHIGAN IS AT MEHCY OF THt'ST. Homer Waterman, at Lansing. Makes Comparisons of Schoolbook Prices. Homer Waterman, of Kalamazoo, secretary of the Michigan Federation of Labor, made a scathing arraign­ ment of what ho terms the “school Look trust" at Lansing last week while attending a conference on se­ enlied uplift laws. According to Waterman's figures a primer which costs 30 cents in Mich­ igan, costs only 15 cents in Indiana and 4 cents in the province on O>tarlo, Canada. Frist readers, which cost 25 cents in Michigan, cost 15 cents in Indiana and 6 cents in On­ tario. In Indiana a uniform textbook sys­ tem has been established, while la Ontario the coyprlght is owned by the province. These conditions are ■ said to be the cause of the difference in prices. The Road Drag. Years have been spent in trying la teach the use of the road drag to the average farmer. No one instrument, not even the road grader, will keep a road in as good shape as the log drag, or one of the kind which uses an angle Iron facing on a 6 x 6 square timber made in three pieces, and chained together. Slowly but surely the road drag is becoming popular. A clay road is made passable the year round by the use only of this drag after it has been properly graded. The drag is hitched <>n to after a rain and one round trip one and a half miles puts the road In shape, and packs it down, so that it lias become "Ijarder than the graveled roads near by. This particular road is around the farm of John Hinkley, of Maple Grove. A bargain made with the road overseer, that he should keep this road in shape for the amount of his road taxes has been carried out for the past two years and tlie road is there to speak for itself. Nothing has been done but drag the road after the rain, and it takes about one hour to go over iL The present road system is not satisfactory, but by a little enter­ prise and pride, the dirt roads can be made good at any time of the year, the roads need proper drainage, ao that water runs readily out of the track, to the ditches, there to be car­ ried to the streams or other drains. Then it needs the road drag applied after the rain to keep the center full and rounding; gradually it will hard­ en down until it becomes almost like a macadam road, and is a pleasure to ride over, enhances the value of the acreage, and the marketings of 'product cost less.

When told that the little stickers were being sold all over the United States to raise money to prevent tu­ berculosis, the cobbler became very much interested. “Now, I call that a good cause," he drawled. “I can’t afford many be­ cause I don’t get very much work away out here in this end of town, but you can leave me ten of them. “No, I don't write any letters and I don't send any Christmas packages.

DECEMBER 19. 1912 | A LEGEND OF THE | I MISTLETOE BOUGH ♦............... , s. 1 whh iiu old legend now, a hun­ dred yenra old ut least. GeneraU<hih had come and gone, and the weird of Barham Hull hud never once given a sign of coming into ful­ filment, so what need was there for fear? It was true that mistletoe was at lust growing on the boughs of the old hawthorn In the Vote sward. But it was Christinas eve, nnd the bells of Barham church were ringing Christ­ inas cliiines. More than 100 years ago Roger LyndiUe4ind done that which perhaps was not an honorable thing. Roger had wooed a farmer's daughter, but had not married her, and she had died at his gates. Across the grass levels, now covered with snow, the .old farm­ house could still be seen, mute with its history. Not ft soul of Druscilla Ives' time was alive In the old homestead. Strangers were under Its roof paylug tribute to Barham Hall, as Druscilln's fattier had done. But the descendants of Roger Lyndalo were still at the haff, with a link between them nnd the story of the old Tote farm. ¥>or, strangely enough, Druscilla had died on CJiristmas eve, and the legend •f Barham Hall had come from her Bps: When mistletoe grow w on the old Yote tiiom No child to a Lyndale will e'er be born. So she bad .prophesied, and the pre­ diction meant that when the white { berry could lie plucked from the old hawthorn standing alone ou the greqn sweep of the Yote sward of Barham part the race of Lyndale would be­ come extinct. And now at Inst mistletoe was grow­ ing on the old thorn! Yet there were laughter and gnyety In the hall. The great open fireplace in the wainscot room was heaped up with glowing, crackling Yule logs, and nN wm a bright sparkle of merriment ■nd godff ‘cheer. Yet there was some little awe after I a*, although It had been east off like n cloak thrown Into a cornet for the legond at Its worst was im without qualification. It had a second couplet, which ran: But he that would nobly thia curse undo Mudt lowly maid wed anil to her be true. When that saving grace was attach­ ed to the legend and when the weird had been worn out by the passing of a century what was there to fear? “Good gracious! What Is that?" ex­ claimed Lady Lyndale suddenly. 'Not the choir again surely! They’ve been and gone." A voice was singing: "When mistletoe grows on tho old Yote thorn No child to a Lyndale will e'er be bom. But he that would nobly thin curse undo Must lowly maid wed and to her be true.” It was the weird, and It was being sung by a woman’s voice to the re­ frain of "Tlie Mistletoe Bough.” What could It mean? “It must be somebody." said Roland Lyndale when it Inx-ame certain thnt the voice had finished. “I’ll see who Il Is." With the wools he crossed the room, drew aside the cnrtalns of one of the windows and looked out upon the snow. "It’s strange," murmured Roland, turning to his father, who still sat be­ side tho hearth. “There’s no one here, sir." “No." replied Sir Geoffrey; “I did not .expect there would be. It was some Impertinent person from the vil­ lage. thnt Ir evident." "Leo and Dorothy should lx* almost here now." said Lady Lyndale pres­ ently. “I wonder whether it Is the snow, that’s nuide them late." ’ The butler appeared and handed Lyn­ dale a telegram. "Is it bad news. Geoffrey?" asked Lady Lyndale. “Yes. Mlllicent," ho replied la a dry tone. "Loo hus boon taken ill with pneumonia, a fearful thing at any time, and he’s not strong. You can see." bo added, handing tho mewuige to his wife. "Dorothy says she’ll wire nt onc<f If it tiecomes critical." The children still laughed and play­ ed. but tho ciders became grave. “Poor old Lionel! I hope he will pull through It." Lyndale murmured In an uneasy voice. Not many Lyndales were left. The stricken Lionel was Sir Geoffrey's only brother, and Roland was his only son. Roland Lyndale had parted from his airy spirits. Ever since the Incident of the voice he had Iteen in a changed, sills!ued mood. And when dinner was over ho found an opportunity to steal out into the snowy night. There were footprints there. Only the shrubs had prevented his seeing the strange visitor when he opened the window. Which way hnd the singer gone? For some moments Roland stood glancing from spot tn spot. Over Ihe face nt the moon the snow clouds had now flitted, but Rnlnnd could see tho old hawthorn standing alone ou the white expanse of the Vote swa rd. Fancy hnd not deceived him. SomeIssly was under the tree, nnd the somoliody was a woman! A strange trembling came to Roland ns ho stooped over the dark, drooped and almost sinking form leaning against the trunk. Was she dend? Just then a kindly break in the clouds let through a gleam of moon­ 1 light. and Roland laid Ills hand gently or. t»io woman's shoulder. Then she moved, rose to her feet and turned up hi him vague eyes nnd a face so iH-autlful that he started. And the start set ids strange trembling going ufresh. But this time there was pity In the tremor, for he saw that the beautiful face was as white us death, sad, weary worn and so fragile that his instinctive thought of her was ns of a white lily cast out in the snow. “My dear young lady,” Roland asked, wondering, “whatever brings you here like this? For you are off the road, and I see you are a stranger.’’ "My name," she answered faintly, "is Phyllis Egerton. My mother was the great-great-grundduughter of Druscllln Ives.” For a moment Roland was dumb. "Druscilla Ives!" he said presently. “Yes," she replied again. "We have always kept the legend of her fate and her prophecy against Burbam Hall in Robeson Pen Knives Royal Rochester Eelertrir Sad Irons our family. And when I was quite a Robeson Jack Knives little thing I promised myself that l-ood Choppers some day, one Christmas eve.

THE BEST YET Reliable Democratic Daily The Jackson Patriot T ROYALTY AND CHRISTMAS. The Emperor and Empress of Germany Bestow Rare Gifts. In the German royal household each member has his or her own Individual Christmas tree. The gift of the em­ press to her imperial spouse is usually some souvenir from a famous battle. Throughout the year she has her agents scourlug the earth for rare trophies and spares no expense in procuring the one that strikes her fancy. This is placed at the foot ot the emperor’s tree. In tills way nnd by other means he has gathered a fine museum of war relics. One Christmas the present he received was a pistol used by General Jackson nt tlie luittle of New Orleans. The empress also makes presents to Indigent clergymen. The package to each of these consists of an outfit of clothing, a Christmas card and n enke baked by her own hands. The kaiser's gift to his wife is usually a fine jewel or some article made by his own bands. In England the celebration of Christ­ mas lapsed after the time of Crom­ well and the Puritans, who regarded it as too much of a pagan festival. Its revival came about through the writ­ ings of Charles Dickens nnd tlie royal observance of the day by the prince con­ sort nnd Queen Victoria. After Prince Albert's death the queen modified her observance of the day for a few years. There were papa's socks and twenty pairs of lengthy, wifely hose; There wero socks for Eddie. Willie, for EHphalct and Mose; There were stockings of Matilda**, Esmer­ alda's and Susanne's; There were Charley's hose and Molly's. Cora Belle's and little Dan's. Amaryllis. George.

Reader, Acre is a live, gripping, absorbing romance of politics— the politics of a decade ago. but the politics of today. A young American of good fightin' blood and hard, fixed ideals set; out to smash the political ma­ chine of his state without com­ promise with evil. The great mo­ ment of his life comes when hi must sacrifice his clean hands or ruin the father of the girl he loves. The creative genius ant: large power of the author an even more notable than in “The Man Higher Up," Mr. Miller's preceding novel. i CHAPTER I. was twilight still in the ral ley, but over the hills to tineast the sky was whitening A young man sitting by iii> window turned to see the birth of an other day. Throughout the night inhad been staring at a vision. Bui weariness had set no mark upon him. Hla vision he did not understand, save that for him it spelled opportunity—» chance to put into a drifting, rather ordinary existence, purposeful action, to stretch his muscles, rack his brain and tear his soul In the struggle that He caught np a rough towel and. stealing quietly out of the house, walk­ ed rapidly down the street. When the straggling town lay behind him he broke Into a alow trot At a place where many feet bad worn a path Serosa a clover meadow be turned from the road. Tho path ended at a clump of bushes on the river bank. Hastily undressing, he plunged into the green depths, from which . June had not quite taken the chill of apring. " Hli lithe, strong body responded to the shock. The nerves, harried by the Jong night watch, relaxed. He shout­ ed lustily. For a few minutes he swam vigorously. Then, reaching the Shore, he took the towel and rubbed himself into a glow. He tingled with a sense of well being. When he was dressed again, refresh­ ed and eager for his day. he took the frath back to the highway. ~ The sun was climbing over the Mlle. He stop­ ped and watched It while It swung deer In the eky. gleaming a fiery red through the mists of the valley. The glory of the morning waa complete. He was about to resume bls tramp homeward when be beheld a strange procession advancing along the road, a young woman leading a limping bnrw. As she came nearer he chuckled aloud. The handsome pigskin saddle, the Ivory handled crop, the modish riding suit and boots were not the equipment with which young ladles of New Chelsea were wont to ride. She beard him and looked up coldly. * The chuckle died instantly. “Good morning." be said. "What’s tho matter with your horse? Can I MP you?" She stopped. "Be has picked up a ■tone.’* she answered, "and I can’t get It out. If yon will be so good"— He vaulted lightly over the fence that bounded the meadow and removed the offending stone. “Thank you." the young woman said. . “You’re quite welcome." he answer­ ed. "I'm always glad to help beauty in distress. He is a beautiful animal. Isn’t he?" he added hastily. "Are you cbnfflng me?" she asked coldly. He repressed a smile. "By no means. Better not ride him for a little bit un­ til we see how he walks. You ride early." be ventured. “No earlier than you—swim.” she re­ plied briefly, glancing at bls wet hair and towel. He at once became uncom­ fortably conscious of his rather un­ kempt appearance. “Are yon staying in New Chelsea?" “Shall you stay long?" “Are you tn the habit of cross ex­ amining strangers on the road?" she Inquired frigidly. He reddened. "I beg your pardon." be said and slackened his pace to let her draw ahead. “I think HI ride dow." she said, "if you will help me up. Crusader has rfopped limping." He held out bls band, she placed a foot in it and was lifted to the sad­ dle. She murmured her thanks. But although she gathered in the reins, she did not start away. For a moment she ■at looking at tbe hills, apparently ob­ livious of toe young man’s presence. He wondered who she was and ven tured again. "Why do you call him Crusader?" Sbe looked down nt him. "Another question? You are incorrigible." “I beg your pardou." he said again gtiffly and marched up the road. HASTINGS .luURNAL-HERALD Till RSDAY. DECEMBER 19, 1912 conventions?

This chronicle, we neglected to state, begins at the beginning of the end of an epoch. The epoch hns been vari­ ously styled a golden age. a period of prosperity, an era of expansion.

And as long as they don’t know," Murchell said dryly, “you and I, Jim. needn't be afraid." They hnd reached and turned the corner of the street that bounds the courthouse square on the north. They stopped at a frame, two room shack by the door of which hung a battered tin sign, “John Dunmeade. Attorney at Law." Sheehan led the way Inside. Through the door of the inner room came the muffled drone of voices. The two men seated themselves In the anteroom nnd waited. Ten minutes passed. Then the door opened and John Dunmeade emerged, ushering out a big. bearded farmer. When the cli­ ent had left the young lawyer turned to hfs cullers and shook bauds, warmly with Mnrchell and hastily with Shee­ han. ■ “Will you step inside, gentlemen?" They took seats around the old. time stained mahogany table. “Well?" Dunmeede's look addressed the remark to Senator Murcbell. The senator smiled slightly. "I’m here only as an honorary vice presi­ dent Ask Sheehan. He likes to talk.” “Sure." Sheehan grinned. "I ain’t one of them that believes the feller that don't talk is deep and wise. He gener’ly ain’t talkin’ because he can't think of nothin to say." He paused and continued. ‘'Well, Mr. District At­ torney”— “Isn’t thnt a little premature?” John Interrupted. For answer the Honorable Jim drew forth from another pocket a ' Ided newspaper, which he spread out on his knees. Solemnly he began to read: “We should not dignify the present rather unsettled political conditions with the name crisis. But it is un­ questionably a time when our party must ius|)ect its path carefully. At such a time it behooves it to choose as candidates only men whose fear­ lessness and honesty are not open to question. Benton county has this fall to fill the important office of district attorney. Of all those mentioned for this post we know of none who so well fills the bill aa John Dunmeade. the popular and brilliant young lawyer of New Chelsea.

I One of tbe important points In test­ ing cream by the Babcock test is to measure tbe tat accurately after it is separated in tbe neck ot the test bot­ tle. Tbe bottom of the fat column is approximately a straight line, but tbe top has a concave surface, or menis­ cus which often occupies a space of nearly one per cent, of the graduated scale on the neck of the bottle. Con­ siderable discussion has arisen as to whether the fat should be read to the top, the bottom, or to some point on this meniscus. Experiments hare been made by the dairy department of the United States department of agricul­ ture for the purpose of locating accurately the proper point for reading the top of the fat column. This un­ certainty can be entirely overcome by dropping a small quantity of alco­ hol into the neck of the test bottle after tho cream test is completed. The alcohol floats on the fat and changes its concave surface to nearly a straight line. As this use of alcohol dis­ solves fat, the practice is not to be recommended, since it reduces tbe length of the fat column somewhat and therefore gives too low a read­ ing of the per cent of fat The solvent action of alcohol on fat can be overcome by first adding to the alcohol all the fat it will dissolve, and then pouring a small quantity of this fat-saturated alcohol on top of the fat column in the test bottle. The top and the bottom of tbe fat column now appear aa nearly straight lines, giving two exact points between which the fat can be measured. The dlagran. i Illustrate the differ­ ence in appearance of the top of the fat column before and after using the tat-aaturated alcohol. Bottle No. 1 ahowa the top meniscus ot the fat which occupies a space between A and B of nearly one per cent, on the scale. The test of this cream could be read to 19,0 or 20.0, depending on the se­ lection of A, or B as the point which it is read. Bottle 2 chows the appearance of the top of the fat. column after the fat-saturated alcohol has been added. The alcohol, makes a nearly straight line at/the top of the fat column, so that the test can be read at that point without any uncertainty as to the height of the fat column Many comparisons of fat readings have been made before and after add­ ing fat-saturated alcohol. Tbe differ­ ences in tbe results depend largely on the kind of cream test bottle used. The fat-saturated alcohol is pre­ pared by adding about a teaspoonful of butter fat to six ounces of alcohol in a bottle. The butter fat may be .ob­ tained by pouring off the fat from a ROUGH STONES AS CONCRETE FILLER Space They Take Up Saves Sand, Gravel and Cement, Giving Solid and Firm Wall. In any section of the country where rough stones of almost any character can be secured and hauled as cheaply as sand and gravel it will pay to use them as fillers for concrete work. A neighbor of ours has built a barn foundation by using rough atones as filler, with the result of saving fully one-half of the coat of construction. On our own farm rough flint atones all the way from the aixe of a walnut up to as large.as a peck measure are to be had with only the trouble of Long experience in the picking them up. These rough stones meat business makes ns we are using in all ot our concrete construction, except for surfacing.

The only difference is that forms are used, and that tlie stones are all hidden when the work is finished. Sand and cement are all that is needed, al­ though grave), too, may be used In the wet mixture. Make the forms as usual for any kind of concrete work, and shovel in the wet sand, gravel and cement mix­ ture. On this soft mixture place a layer of the rough stones of all sizes and shapes. They must be clean of PbMt 162 soil so that the cement mixture will ' stick to them. Cover tho layer of stones with more of the wet cement mixture, and “spade" the sides to EXPERIENCE make smooth surfaces and to settle the mixture among the rocks. Use a rather zluehy concrete so that it will more easily run among the rocks for filling vacant spaces and for firm binding. Continue the process, layer after layer, till the wall Is fin­ ished.

Warm and shake tlie bottle un­ til the alcohol has dissolved all the fat possible; some of It will be left undissolved at the bottom of the bot­ tle. We have found it convenient to remove the fat-saturated alcohol from the bottle by means of a glass tube which extends through the cork to near the bottom of the bottle. By placing a finger over tbe top and lift­ ing the tube out of tbe bottle, a small quantity of the liquid can readily be transferred to the cream test bottle. This fat-saturated alcohol should be used for reading the tests as soon as they are completed, while the fat is st ill liquid.

HhTcken^^eqijirF^ GOOD VENTILATION Fresh Air Is of Far More Impor­ tance to Any Flock of Birds Than Warmth. A poultry house usually needs more ventilation than is given. Fresh air Is far more important than warmth. Fresh air means health, but must nev­ er be supplied by a draft. Tbe hen was rever intended to live in a house. A tree is her natural home; but the northern winters are so cold that it is impossible to get eggs from hens roosting in trees, as it takes all they can eat to keep them alive. The poul­ try house, then, should furnish pro­ tection from storms and cold winds, and always provide a clean, dry feed­ ing floor and a clean, dry roosting place. If a house is damp in winter it la usually because there is not enough ventilation, and more air must be admitted iin some form to carry out the dampness and bad air Quack Grass. Quack grass spreads in two ways: First, by underground stems, and sec­ ond, by seed. During the winter all growth in the plant is stopped and spreading by the first method is im­ possible; but this is the time when quack grass spreads by jumps. About the only way quack grass bas of get­ ting from one field to another or from one farm to another Is by Its seed. Fields infested with quack grass may be given a shallow plowing just be­ fore freezing-up time. The under­ ground stems that are left exposed to the combined action of frost and air will generally be killed, but any un­ derground stem that is only partly exposed will usually live and grow in the spring.

Mrs. Mary Rogers of Les Angeles, Mrs. Mary Davison of - Butternut and John and Jas. Lambie j of Maple Rapids. * Early in the '50's he emigrated to ' this country and after five weeks of rough sailing, the family arrived in New York and came to Novi, Oakland county, where they lived until 1862, when they moved to Essex township and purchased and cleared the farm three miles east of Maple Rapids now owned by Elmer Upton. ' Here his faithful wife passed away on October 19, 1866, and a few years Inter he married Mrs. Nancy Paul who died December 9, 1885.

There Is so much to learn and re­ member, that a study of the maps should be made often. When In doubt take your package to the post office. Tho following suggestions may serve as a starter: The limit of weight is 11 pounds. Parcels weighing 4 ounces or less are mailable any distance, at one cent an ounce, or fraction thereof. The local rate, that Is the rate for pack­ ages, received or delivered from the same office is five cents for the first pound, and one cent a pound for each additional pound. That is a parcel can be sent to the farthest extreme on the rural route, for 5 cents a pound, and one cent for each addi­ tional pound, or it can be sent In on rural or city carrier at the same rate and delivered to the addressee. The only stipulation in the shipping or mailing, of substances is they must be so packed as not to “break loose in the mails;” that fresh meats can only be shipped in the first or 50 mile sone; parcels which are perishable ■■st be marked so. Seeds, nursery stock, candy, con­ fectionery, yeast cakes, soap, tobacco, pills, toys, and musical Instruments, in fact there’s but little which is not mailable. Parcels must be limited to 11 pounds and with no larger dimen­ sions than six feet over all. Classed as unmailable articles are spirituous, fermented or other Intox­ icating liquors; poisons of every kind; poisonous animals, reptiles, ex­ plosives of every kind; inflammable materials, infernal machines, disease germs or scabs or materials of what­ ever kind that may kill. Firearms also are'excluded The government has a system un­ der the new law for indemnifying those whose parcels are lost. An in­ surance tag will be issued, the cost of which will be 5 cents each. In­ surance up to $25 can be collected on each parcel. However, the losses of parcels sent through the malls amounted to but 4-100 of 1 per cent, last year. Each office will receive a “zone map. The maps that will be sent here will show Hastings as a “zone" center, with other zones de­ scribed in circles. A guide book will be issued which will show the location of offices in a numbered square, of which there will be several in a state.

LOVE JAILS YOUTH 'Hears of Jealous Girl’s Deception and Returns to CelL A. B. Spain, Formerly of Albion, Ind., . Violated Parole Whan Told Young Woman Spurned Him—Located ■t Memphis, Tenn. Jeffersonville, Ind.—Love for & girl and a desire to right a wrong he had <lone her through a misunderstanding, ,has prompted A. B. Spain, twentythree years old. to return to the state reformatory here to serve the remain■der of a term from which he was paroled after a violation of that pa­ role. • Spain's story came oat the other day in Memphis, Tenn., where he had ■been working for some time. Ha said that he was reared on a farm near Albion, Noble county. Several years ago. In a prank, he, with others, stole several bushels of corn from a neigh­ boring farmer. Tho latter failed to see the joke, caused the arrest of the boys and some of them were sen­ tenced to the reformatory. • Spain, who was one of those sen­ tenced, served three years and two months of his time, and was then re­ leased on his promise, among others, not to leave the state. He returned to Albion and continued at the trade of a tailor, which he had begun to learn in a local institution. There was a girl. Spain loved her, and finally proposed and was accept­ ed. Life seemed to hold nothing but Joy. The wedding was to take place as soon as he had saved enough ;money to furnish a comfortable home. Then one day another girl came to him with a letter which she •aid was written by his fiancee. It was as follows: "Dear Bessie: I am going to look lor a new flame and I want you to help me. That jailbird still thinks I am crazy enough to marry him. He doesn't have sense enough to know ‘I have been laughing at him in my sleeve* all the time." Spain took the first train for In­ dianapolis. Then he went to Louis­ ville, Ky., knowing he was violating his promise not to leave the state, but caring not. Finally he reached Memphis and obtained employment Recently he received a letter from his brother, with whom he had kept up a correspondence. This told him that the girl he had left was grieving for him, and that the one who showed him the note had acknowledged that she wrote it because of jealousy for her more fortunate friend. “l am go­ ing back and serve my time." said Spain. “It's the square thing to do.” “BROADWAY BOB” IS HELD Fashion-Plate Crook Picked Up In New York as He Is About to Dine in Restaurant.

Spain, Formerly of Albion, Ind, . Violated Parole When Told Young Woman Spurned Him—Located ■t Memphis, Tenn. Jeffersonville. Ind.—Love for a girl Mid a desire to right a wrong he had done her through a misunderstanding, ,hat. prompted A. B. Spain, twentythree years old, to return to the state reformatory here to serve the remain­ der of a term from which he was .paroled after a violation of that pa­ role. 1 Spain's story came out the other day in Memphis, Tenn, where he had been working for some time. He said that he was reared on a farm near Albion, Noble county. Several years ago, in a prank, he, with others, stole several bushels of corn from a neigh­ boring farmer. The latter failed to see the joke, caused the arrest of the boys and some of them were sen­ tenced to the reformatory. ■ Spain, who was one of those sen­ tenced, served three years and two months of his time, and was then re­ leased on his promise, among others, .hot to leave the state. He returned to Albion and continued at the trade of a tailor, which he had begun to learn in a local institution. There was a girl. Spain loved her, and finally proposed and was accept­ ed. Life seemed to hold nothing but Joy. The wedding was to take place ■a* soon as he had saved enough money to furnish a comfortable home. Then one day another girl came to him with a letter which she said was written by his fiancee. It was as follows: “Dear Bessie: I am going to look ;for a new flame and I want you to balp me. That jailbird still thinks I am crazy enough to marry him. He doesn't have sense enough to know I have been laughing at him in my sleeves all the time.*’ Spain took the first train for In­ dianapolis. Then he went to Louis­ ville, Ky, knowing he was violating his promise not to leave the state, but caring not. Finally he reached Memphis and obtained employment Recently he received a letter from his brother, with whom he had kept up a correspondence. This told him that the girt he had left was grieving for him, and that the one who showed him the note had acknowledged that she wrote it because of jealousy for her more fortunate friend. “I am go­ ing back and serve my time," said Spain. “It's the square thing to do."

New York.—Following complaints from Broadway restaurants and hotels that the pockets of patrons had been picked, Detective McGee came to the conclusion that clever enough for such work was Walter Henry, a crook of International reputation, a fashion plate and as agreeable a companion as one could find. Henry also is known as Bob Hart, Walter Hogan. Big Bob,, "the Doctor," "Big English Bob" and "Broadway Bob." McGee was in Rector’s when Henry strolled In. "Where have you been?" asked Mc­ Gee, as Henry tossed his coat and hat to a boy. ‘Tve had great trouble,” replied Henry. “My father has Just died In Brooklyn. That accounts for the mourning band on my hat. “Well, come to the station house with me." said McGee. “You are wanted for’that little trick pulled off on Nov. 9th in the Kaiserkeller. The affair referred to by the detec­ tive was the robbery of Albert M. Markler of 555 West 155th street who is connected with a Wall street bank. On Saturday Markler got from Marsello Pitt & Co., 170 Broadway, a diamond cluster valued at $800; a diamond ring set with rubies. $500; a diamond bar ring, $300; a la valllere, |500; a small diamond ring, $40, and a gold cigarette case, $100, making a total of $2,040. On his way home Markler stopped at the Kaiserkeller to have dinner. There he was joined by two more agreeable strangers, who Insisted that he dine with them. He consented, and on starting tor home noticed that the larger of the men brushed against him. Then suddenly he discovered his jewelry was gone, but the man was gone, tco. Markler identified Henry through Ms rogues* gallery picture. New York.- -Diamond Jim Brady, the world's only possessor of a $500,000 stomach, eats 30-cent lunches. Some­ times, Just to remind himself of the old days, he goes to the Astor house and spends from 80 cents to $1. "But," he said, “I can get all I want for 30 cents." This fact became known when an investigation into the amounts spent by rich men for meals was under­ taken following the**complalnt of a “much worried wife" that her busband wante<« a certain book, or the children a doll or toy.

Previous to that time ho had been as famous for his gastronomical achievements as for the blazing diamonds that adorn his waistcoats, shirts and underwear. Asked what he spent on an average for luncheon. "Diamond Jim" answer­ ed with alacrity that the amount was from 80 cents to $1 when he went to the Astor house. “If I send out for something to eat," he continued. "I can get all I want for 30 cents. I am spending more today because I am entertaining three friends. This meal will probably cost $6.50, and It's a good one. "I think that a man can get all he wants for six dollars a week—that Is, all that's good for him. With a dol­ lar luncheon I feel better than th« man who spends ten dollars for a midday meal. If I send out from ray office I get a sandwich and a glass of milk. That’s a pretty good luncheon even for a man as big as I am." MAKE BRIDEGROOM CAPTIVE Bound and Gagged, West Orange, N.

The speech is too long to give In detail but we give excerpts which will Indicate the line of thought of the coming man. After introduction and preliminary opening he commenced to give a suecession of shocks that fairly electrlfled those present, and gave covert warning that samethlng would hap­ pen if Wall street should attempt a panic such as was attempted in 1907.

SMALL, MOVABLE HEN HOUSE One Found Satisfactory After Much Experimenting—Built on Runner* to Facilitate Moving. After experimenting with several sizes and styles of poultry houses we have decided that the small, movable house is best of all, writes Mrs. W. H. Bush in the Missouri Valley Fanner. It is built upon runners so that a team may be hitched to it for moving, and should not be larger than 8 by 12 feet, Exterior View. 7 feet high in front and 5 at the back. A good, tight floor is laid, and the walls inside are covered with rubberold roofing, the same as is used on the roof. Walls thus covered are draft and mite proof, as well as warm and neat looking. Dropping boards are built 2% feet above the floor, along the hack wall, the roosts being placed a foot above, suspended from the ceiling by wires. In front of roosts is a canvas curtain reaching from the ceiling to within a foot of the floor. The door and win­ dows are fitted with screens and also canvas curtalm, which are for use at night and for stormy days. A house arranged in this way insures the chickens against drafts and at the same provides plenty of fresh, pure air. The flejr space, being clear, is used as a scratching pen, for hens, to do well in winter, must be kept busy. Nest boxes are placed at each end of the building »r along the front be­ neath the windows. In summer the houses are moved frequently to fresh ground, as when chickens run continuously over the same lot the ground becomes foul and unhealthy. When winter comes the houses are moved and arranged In a row along the middle of a largff yard, which has previously been sown to wheat, and furnishes the flock with AND FOUR PER CENT INTEREST Compounded Quarterly Can you imagine a better place for your savings Strongest Bank in Calhoun County All Savings Deposited before Jan. 6th will earn 4 per cent from Jan. 1st.

The lot is di­ vided by the row of houses and a little fencing into two partaf which are used alternately. Forty to fifty hens may be kept in this manner in a house such as I have described. TRIAL OF HOPPER FEEDING Test at West Virginia Station Shown Egg Production at Lower Cost Than Other System. In bulletin 130 of the West VlrginK station a report is given of a trial of the hopper-feeding system for poul­ try, which was installed in order to save labor. In a year’s test, with five pens of white Leghorns, the cost of food varied from 68 cents to $1.04 per fowl per year, and averaged 90 cents per fowl for the 100 fowls in the ex­ periment The egg production varied from 81.4 eggs per hen, when fed principally upon corn, to 24.7 in the pen which received whole grain once per day. scattered in litter, and dry mash and beef scrap without limit in a hopper.

Take your pick. The long stick—south. The short •tick—east Choose." It waa an impressive scene and an unusual one. Upon a broad plateau In the heart of the North Carolina mountains rested the monoplane Vic­ tor. The two expert bird men had Inst carried off the honors in an aero meet at Savannah. They designed a trip to the home of Nelson Barton, in Delaware, where his father and his sister awaited them. Now,* in a flight over a desolate, well nigh uninhabited country, the "juice’’ had given out in the carburetor and the Victor was "stalled." Gasoline must be found or the machine abandoned. After a brief consultation the two men had decided to start out in search of some town. Barton hid all but the ends of two twigs in his hand. Moore drew the long one—south. Bar­ ton started east with the laughing boast that he would be back first with the needful fuel for the engine. It was nightfall when Barton tolled slowly down a winding valley—lost All that day he had not come across a single human being or habitation. “This Is getting pretty desperate," decided Barton. “I cannot hope to And my way back to the airship. I may wander for days without coming to a town or settlement Ah, at last— a light" He traced it to a rude hut But though he knocked repeatedly at the door and rapped on the windows, no one responded. Suddenly loud shouts and then shots In the distance attract- A Vivid Picture Halted, Appalled Him ed his attention. Following the same a great lurid glow sprang up across the eastern horizon. "A fire!" exclaimed Barton, and ho started toward it A terrific hubbub increased an he advanced. He had progressed to where he could see the flames through the trees, when com­ ing rushing towards him, uttering ter­ rified moans, he made out a pale-faced, wild eyed woman. She clasped a little babe dose to her breast and holding her by the hand dragged a little girl sobbing piti­ fully with fright and weariness. "My good woman," spoke Barton, stepping directly in the path of the flying fugitive, "what is the trouble?" She gave a shriek at being so start­ lingly challenged. Then: "It is a stranger? Oh, sir, we are lost! The Dollivars are making a raid. They have burned four of our houses. They will be to ours next and probably kill us If they discover us." "The Dollivars?” repeated Barton vaguely, and then a quick memory of the desperate doings in these lonely Carolina mountain fastnesses came to him, and he asked: "You mean a family feud?" "Just that" nodded the woman. “Oh, hide us quickly! They are com­ ing this way.” Barton got the three refugees into a copse and saw a party of a dozen rough men armed and carrying torch­ es pass them by. Then there were more shots and sbeuts and a new lurid glare crossed the sky. "It is our home,” mourned the wom­ an. "And they will search for me and my little ones. I c-n run with the baby, but I cannot carry the little girl, too. Oh, sir, help us." "I’ll try, at least," announced Bar­ ton firmly, roused by sympathy for the poor creatures. "My husband and his band are in a refuge camp twenty miles south of here,” explained the woman. "The Dollivars have taken advantage of their absence. I must reach them and tell of what is going on." The woman carrying the babe and leading the way, Barton with the little girl in his arms, they started on a forlorn tramp. "We are almost there,” announced the woman nearly four hours later as they started down a tortuous gap in the mountains. "There is the glow of ■their camp fire. Oh, I am so glad, bo ‘thankful to you..’’ And then with the words sho sank to the grass and swooned dead away. Barton placed the babo in a safe position in its blanket, and told the little girl to stay there and watch her mother. Twenty steps brought the aviator In full view of the outlaw camp. A vivid picture halted, appalled him. A group of men were gathered near a camp fire, and over a branch of a great tree close at hand ran a rope. One end encircled the neck of a man with arms and feet tightly bound. "Why! Why! Why!” shouted out Nelson Barton in three tones of rising horror, "it is my friend, my partner, Elwyn Moore! Stop! Stop!” he screamed, rushing forward and wav­ ing bls arms wildly. Half a dosen rifles covered him in an instant, but he never halted. Straight up to the outlaw leader he dashed. "What’s this?” fiercely challenged that person, keen suspicion in bls swarthy face. "This is my friend," proceeded Bar­ ton, pointing to Moore. "Oh, maybe you’re another detec­ tive, eh?” demanded the outlaw. "Detective? Why, we are airmen." "And found a new way to sneak into our district where we shoot strangers on eight? Here, boys, tie this one, too!” Suddenly the outlaw turned. Tho little girl had followed Barton. Now, arms outstretched, she came into view. "Mary, little Mary!” gasped the outlaw. “How did you come here?" “I brought her," Baid Burton quick­ ly; "your wife and baby, too. They are back near the spring. The Doll!vers have raided your homes, and—” A cry of rage went up from the rough crowd. The strangers were for a moment forgotten. The woman and babe were brought into the camp. Then there were rapid explanations. Half of the men sprang to their horses, and with direful threats swept north to add another sanguinary chap­ ter to th-» great Dolliver family feud. The outlaw chieftain came back to the camp fire with tears in his eyes, and gentle as a lamb. Instantly Moore was released. He overwhelmed Barton with thanks. He learned the real mission of the aviators in that forbidden district "Four of you," he shouted to his men, "get to Shelbyville fast as you can, and bring back fifty gallons of gasoline. If the town is asleep, shoot It up. Be back by daylight. These friends of ours must be back to their airship and the rest of us on the trail of the Dolliver*.” "Ask him to give me my trophy," whispered Moore to hie friend. "Your trophy?" "Yes, see it’s been a target fast­ ened to that tree yonder. These illit­ erate fellows can’t read, and insisted that the badge was that of a'secret service detective." The trophy, plus one deep bullet dent, was returned to its owner with apologies. The airship made a brilliant non­ stop flight, almost beating the record. A guest at the Barton home, Elwyn Moore had the coveted chance to pre-* sent himself and his trophy to pretty Mabel Barton. She admired it, and Its owner as well The result was natural The trophy became a family heirloom. It was not only a reminder of the skill of its owner, but of that weird hour In the moonshiner's camp when the loyal Nelson Barton arrived "just in time!" HE TOOK A CHANCE For Love’s Sake Hunchback Un­ dergoes Operation on Distorted Bones of Spine. BY C. V. CLARENDON. On the night before the operation Doctor Klein entered bls patient’s room and Bat by bis bed. "You are re­ solved to take the chance of it?” he asked. His steel-gray eyes were fixed un­ waveringly upon those of the cripple beneath the sheets. The cripple smiled back at him os frankly. “Perfectly," he murmured. "My chance is, I understand, on the whole favorable. You say I am the fourth who has risked thia?" "The fifth,” answered the great sur­ geon composedly. "And two of them died?” "O, dear, no. Well, yes, two died, but one of these would have died any­ way from other causes. In his case death was a merciful release. I am firmly convinced that you will get up as straight as I am.” And he went on learnedly to de­ scribe the details of his famous oper­ ation which was to cure tho hunch­ back. The pressure of the vertebrae upon the spinal cord must be re­ moved, the distorted bones reset and held in a cast; it was perfectly feas­ ible, but because the slightest slip of the scalpel would mean paralysis and a lingering death no other surgeon dared attempt it “And I suppose,” the surgeon ended, smiling kindly, "that there is, as usual, a woman in tho case.” The hunchback's eyes lit up. "I’ll tell you, Doctor Klein,” he said, "for you have been my best friend In the world. Yes—there is a woman in the case. "I haven’t burdened you with my early history, but I may as well say that I am a man of good family and in my youth enjoyed the advantages of an excellent education.

CARRIED RIDER FROM REVIEW Even General Custer, Accomplished Rider as He Was, Could Not Stop Runaway Horse. There was perhaps no more pictur­ esque cavalry commander engaged in the Civil war, north or south, and most certainly none with a more remark­ able career, writes Gen. James Grant Wilson in the Bulletin of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani­ mals, than George Armstrong Custer (18394876), who was graduated at the United States military academy of West Point in 1861. Entering the army as a second lieutenant in that . year he rode at the head of bls cav­ alry division in the famous Washlngton review of May, 1865, as a major­ general! | While in less than four years’ serv­ ice he had seven horses killed under him—a greater number it is believed than was lost by any other leader of Union troops who participated in tho war, he miraculously escaped both death and wounds. 1 Among the numerous charges own­ ed by Custer, hla four favorites were Don Juan, Jack Rucker, Dandy and Vic. The first mentioned was a thoroughbred stallion of great speed, strength and spirit, on which the dash­ ing young sabreur appeared with his celebrated Third Cavalry division in the grand review at the close of the war. When approaching the reviewing stand on which were assembled Presi­ dent Johnson with hla cabinet, Grant, Sherman, Meade and many other prominent generals, Don Juan became excited and frightened at the floral bouquets and wreaths showered upon him and his rider, as well as the wild tempest of cheers that greeted them, and ran away, in spite of the efforts of one of the most accomplished horse­ men in the army to control him. The youthful major general of twenty-six st length stopped the stallion and re­ joined his command In season to ap­ pear with it as the division swept past the reviewing stand.

That it does not really exist is demonstrated each year as the win­ ter wanes. Then coal is plenty un­ less held up by storms, or floods. The soft and hard coal miners have declared they have mined plenty of coal ready to ship on orders. The railroads complain they have not cars enough and cannot get them, the dealers say both railroads and pro­ ducers are holding them up. Of course the consumers are at the mercy of the combination and must pay the price asked by the local deal­ er. The combine is perfect, the lo­ cal dealer cannot cut price, for If he docs the jobber refuses to sell him coal; an outsider, even so large a city as Grand Rapids, cannot buy of the wholesalers or mine owners for these say they must protect their retail cusomers, and there we are, between the devil and the deep sea. If a man would walk into our houses and steal our purse he would be fortwith haled before the court and sent over the road; if a coal baron, and his co-workers, the retail deal­ ers, steal the bread out of the mouths of suffering families, or deprive them of proper clothing by arbitrary high prices for fuel, they are morally, and technically as guilty of robbing as the man who holds another up and takes his money away from him, in fact the coal combine is really worst of the two, for he is a cowardly sneak, while the other puts his life and liberty in the forfeit The coal men may wake up some day as suddenly as did the high tar­ iff barons last month. The first duty of the government is to protect the weak; the principle \ applies to any public utility and necessity. The boosting of coal prices every winter, while the railroad yards are congest­ ed with millions of tons of coal, a combine of coal barons and railroads is beyond all reason, and like some of the other trusts and combines they will force the government to con­ fiscate their holdings. The conduct of -the combinations, coal, iron, cloth­ ing, machinery, are creating govern­ ment ownership sentiment faster than •11 the socialist or Bull Moose agita­ tors can possibly no. The syndicates ■neeringly say, “You cannot deprive • man of his property." Just so; but this applies equally to the syndicates; you cannot take advantage of the necessity of the people by a robber price. Tke Mexican Situation? While the year closes with our in­ ternational relations at least nomin­ ally peaceful with all the world, it is by no means certain that the coming year will not see this nation involved in serious difficulty with Mexico. American interests in that distracted republic are in great jeopardy at the present time. In fact, if the reports •re to be relied upon, the breaking point is already at hand. American property is being destroyed, Ameri­ can lives taken, American women in­ putted and mistreated. The rebels in the northern states of Mexico seem to be gaining ground and to be utterly defiant of the rights of neutrals, and the Madero government is showing Itself unable to cope with the rebel­ lion or to prevent the outrages that are being committed upon American citizens. Now, it is evident that our govern­ ment cannot patiently submit to this condition forever. However reluc­ tant it may be to Involve the country In war, the government must take steps to put an end to a condition that is fast becoming Intolerable. And so. intervention may become not only justifiable, -but an actual duty. And if intervention does become a neces­ sity, what will It end in? Surely, the United States has already enough of the burden of administering the affalnMof countries peopled by Latin races. The Cubans, the Porto Ricans and the Filipinos are all the wards of this kind that Uncle Sam needs to take care of, without also being com­ pelled to become responsible for the Mexicans, and it is to be hoped that some honorable way will yet be found that will spare such a vexatious burden from being thrust upon this country. At the same time it must be confessed that such an experience Is far from impossible. Mexico cannot be permitted to fall into a much worse state of lawlessness and .barbarism without American interference, in the interests of humanity. Inharmonloas Harmony. The “harmony meeting” at Detroit last week Thursday, was certainly in­ harmonious. Grant Fellows opened the carbuncle by declaring the “putrid matter," i. e., the progressive clement which had rotted out the core of the carbuncle should be dis­ posed of complete removal, and ex­ purgation. Perry Powers, another of the slick ones like Fellows, who are leading republicans going about the state speaking for $25 per, attempted to pour a little soothing syrup on the blaze Fellows started. But Powers only succeeded in smothering the out burst enough to prevent an entire conflagration of the combustible ma­ terial, which h»d almost reached the stage of a Bay City republican love fenst.

KING'S TEN SURGEONS show the way At last they left the road, and traversing a field, halted before a hedge of hawthorne. behind which could be seen a golf green, stretching away up to where Balmoral castle stood in the midst of its parks and woods. There the doctors, who had teen in quiet consultation, halted. “Mr. Blake,” said the leader a dig­ nified, elderly gentleman, “before we go a step further we must Insist on knowing just why you have brought ub to Balmoral, and what your authority ts. We respectfully decline to ap­ proach through a gap In a hedge." "1 told you I would pay you fifty pounds apiece," shouted Blake angrily. “You were to ask no questions. Didn’t Lord Tyneside ever use your serv­ ice* ?” “Never?" responded the other, bland­ ly. “He had bis London physician. And unless you are willing to admit us through the front entrance, we mupt respectfully decline—” “Bui. Tve got to catch the king!" shouted Blake. “1’11 lose my castle If I don’t. I must.find him at once.” He itopped suddenly, for the news­ paper men had drawn round him, and the doctors were looking at one an­ other significantly. “My dear sir.” Baid the eldest, in a smooth, professional voice, “if you will come back home, I am sure we can bring him to your bedside.” "My bedside? You think I'm crazy?’’ demanded Blake. “Now, Me, Blake, you’ve been ovet^ come by the heat; you're not your­ self,” said the other gently. "Come back to Fyles. There's a train—” “J tell you I've got to see the king!” raved Blake, struggling in the arms of the half dozen who were endeavor­ ing to restrain him. Ab he shouted something whlxzed over his head, and two men came up to the hedge. "Sliced, sir!" exclaimed one of tho Mayers. "It’ll be in the long grass, I think.” "I want to see the king!” yelled Blake, and the player* stopped. ’At your service, sir,” answered tho bther, a short man with a pointed beard and prominent eyes. At the light of him the doctors closed round Mr. Blake, attempting to pull him down. "Listen, your majesty,” shouted the American. “I’m not crazy. I’ve bought Fyles Abbey, and I’ve brought ten sur­ geons to pay my yearly rental. It ■ays so in the deed. It was Lord *Tynetide’s place. Don’t I have to bring you ten surgeons?" "Ah! Fyles Abbey!

Suddenly he turned In answer to his wife's inquiry. "Muriel, dear,” he said, “if I hadn't received this letter by this morning** ?oit we should have lost our new tome, for ever." “How, dear?" inquired his pretty rife, startled. “This way: You know Lord Tynedde, from whom we bought It, didn't Appreciate having to sell a property which had been in his family for eight lundred years to an American whose father made his fortune packing pork. And you remember he waa quite nasty to us. Well, he omitted to point to a rery vital item in the title deed, which Barrett & Co. have just discovered in the nick of time. Fyles Abbey was (ranted to the first Lord Tyneside by Henry V., who, as you may remember, died of overeating.

And the king is in Scotand.” "Present ten surgeons’" exclaimed Muriel in amazement. "Yes, my dear.

"Going over the court records at the registry office to check up our cus­ tomers' financial standing takes fully two days of my time every month." complained the cashier of a small city bank to the president "It’s a lot of trouble, and yet it has to be cone.” | The president had no suggestion to | offer, but the remark reached the ear* of a young man transacting busi­ ness at one of the wickets and set him thinking. “There must be a good many other business concerns that need just the same information,” he argued with himself. "If one were to get up a subscription list of them, it might be worth while to furnish dally reports from the registry office, reports that eould bo got out in an hour or so a day* The young man went to the busy cashier and explained h1s idea. “Each day I will prepare a list of all mort­ gages filed with the clerk of the court for record, showing names, amounts and property involved. A list of sat­ isfactions of mortgage will also be in­ cluded. The charge will be one dol­ lar a month. That isn’t much for the time it will save you." The cashier Jumped at the offer, and within a very short time the enter­ prising young man had more than fifty subscribers. The lists were compiled by his sister, who spent an hour or two a day In the registry office, and the returns made a neat addition to their joint income, for the young man did not find it necessary to give up his old position, which was an excel­ lent one, to take up his new job.

Surely the south must have at least one shrine— a purely literary shrine, that is, and not merely a composite literary and political shrine like Monticello, to which we demur in advance. And the west, too—but there the shrines, while ripening rapidly (we suspect that there will be an active Riley shrine some day at Indianapolis, for exam­ ple) are a little green as yet to be picked for our present purposes.— From the Bookman.

Later In the evening she found John alone on the western porch etaring up Into the sky. The prophecy of the morning’s red sunrise was about to be fulfilled; it was evident that a storm was brewing. “Steve Hampden.” Miss Roberta re­ marked in a carefully casual tone, “b home.

This house was built In the early thirties by Thomas Dunmeade. founder of New Chelsea, then In his eightieth year, a period of life when his thoughts should have been center ed on heavenly glories, but were. In fact, busied with tbe cares and van! ties of this world. Thomas lived just long enougb to Install himself In the new house. Then he died in an apoplectic lit following a choleric denunciation of Andrew Jackson. The title to the house de­ scended to the pioneer’s son. Robert, a gentleman of purls, who. as founder ol the flour mills, brought commercial consequence nnd as congressman for one term the honors of statesmanship to the town of his nativity. His son was Hugh, the soldier and later the judge of tbe house of Dunmeade. Miss Roberta and John were sitting under a tree in the front yard. It was Sabbath afternoon in New Chelsea. “I wonder." mused Miss Roberta, “how Steve Hampden liked the ser­ mon?" “He probably wasn't listening." “Warren Blake walked home from church with Katherine." she remarked significantly. “She was there, then?’ “Didn't you see her?" “I heard the stir when she came lu; but, strange to relate. I was more in­ terested in the service, and I forgot to look her up after church.” , “Why won't you go to see her?" : John rose with a sigh of resignation. “Aunt Roberta, you are a woman of one idea. I see I shall have no peace of mind until I've paid my respects to this glided lady. I go!" He could never repress a smile when be saw tbe Hampden place. Almost within the span of his memory Its evo­ lution—It was always called a "place" —keeping pace with Its owner’s for­ tune, had been wrought The first house on that site had been a five room frame cottage, built just before the war when Stephen Hampden was manager of the Dunmeade mills. It Is said that he laid the foundation of his fortune in a certain contract for army horseshoes. In the seventies, being then owner of Plumville’s lar­ gest Iron foundry, he inaugurated the custom of returning to New Chelsea for the hot months. The little cottnge was torn down. In its place was rear­ ed a red brick house, liberally adorned with turrets and scroll work in the style of that period. The foundry grew—even outgrew Its owner, whose taste. If not his talents, ran to speculation rather than to pro­ duction. He sold out and went to the Bteel city to pursue fortune vin the bourse and the reai estate market. In these days New Chelsea row him nnd his family only semloccoslonally. Tbe house with the turrets had attained tho dignity of a “country place.” Then New Chelsea beard that Steve Hamp­ den had been admitted Into the envi­ able and exclusive circle of million­ aires. With wealth and travel came taste. The “country house” was re­ modeled. The turrets were razed: wings were added to the house: the Iron picket fence was removed and a hedge planted in Its stead. Not all the architect’s devices could make of the house a thing of beauty, so ivy was planted and trained to enshroud its naked ugliness. A few years with na­ ture. assisted by tbe English garden­ er, and tbe transformation was com­ plete. But not enough, for New Chelsea knew of another structure to course of erection ou the crest of East Ridge, to be the "palatial residence.” as the Globe took pleasure in reporting, "of our fellow citizen.

For a week now the tramp had been fighting fire with tbe other fighters. Why he had done so hardly know. Tbe pay was DOt targe and the risk was. He had been almost cornered again and again. At times, escape bad seemed impossible, but be bad raced his way to safety, while hia blistered feet and smokeclogged lungs protested. But he had always wont out. Now he had dis­ tanced the fire once again, and lay stretched In the shade, genuinely' weary, sincerely sick of ft all. "Let the owners fight," he said, half aloud. "Later on they’ll run me out from the shade of the very trees I help to save. I ain't goln* back." The resolution had come suddenly. He had fully intended to return after ■Hatching an hour or so of wellearned rest. It was In the early forenoon that be had laid down. It seemed hours before bis tired eyes closed, and but a moment before he waa rudely awak­ ened. Men were pulling at him; men were shouting in hls ear. The words at last penetrated drowsily Into his mind. i "Get up. Bill. Get up for God’s sake. 1 It’s cornin’ this way." He sat up at last, sulkily and half ■ awake. "I don’t give a—" The faces of the men were black­ ened and bleeding. “Jenks an* Bert's lost." said one. ' , "Well, 1 didn’t find 'em," said the tramp. “God. find them!" said the other, reverently. "They’ve burned to death.” He heard the news callously. There had been so many that the shock was quite gone from the tale. It was only when enacted before the eye, In all Its grewsome details, that it bad pow­ er even partially to shock. He settled back again. "I ain't goln* to get up." The others stood ready to go. The man half turned, but paused. "Bill* once more, will ye come? It’s hlttln* now for a place where there’s little (children—little children, mind ye, with­ out any idee what danger means." Bill 'raised his lank figure till he {•tood an inch above the others. "1*11 icome." he said. . Backward now they turned with the Buick step of men who knew that line meant life. All trace of listlessiness had vanished from Bill's face and (figure. He was the alert fire-fighter, (untiring, unafraid. All day they fought, each with the courage and the strength of ten. It was night before they acknowledged (that their efforts had been without iavall. Bill threw down his ax, and pointed |his lean finger. "Some one ought to tell 'em,” he said. And then, as no one spoke, “I’ll go." It was trackless way through the (forest and thick underbrush, but Bill [raced on, hurried by the roaring of the fire, handicapped by his weari­ ness, harried by the fear that he might not be in time. The people of the village were awake, clustered around in groups, [•watching the light that hung like a ’menace In the sky. There were no (men among them. The men were jaway. battling with the danger that 'threatened their homes. So it fell to 'Bill to prepare and urge forward the {hurried flight. It was he who remem(iDereu bered everyiuiug everything—wma. meat and drink, [warm clothes for the wide-eyed chil­ dren. He harnessed and made ready. “Throw out everything, if you ain't ijnakin' a good getaway." he cau­ tioned. then gave the word, and the (heavily laden teams moved off. "You! You! You ain’t cornin’?" •the women shrilled back to him. “After a bit. You’re loaded enough. I’ll be along 'fore long.” Already the flames were sending -forth their spying sparks. Presently the enemy would throw caution to the ■winds, nnd advance upon him. "Any other place could 'a‘ burned and been darned ’fore I’d 'a' done It.

Since the Introduction of gunpowder as a propeller and the general use of firearms in warfare and hunting, there has been a more or less insistent de­ mand for mechanisms that would give the soldier or hunter a number of shots at his command without reload­ ing, and enable them to be rapidly dis­ charged. The first patent for a fire­ arm of this description seems to have been issued by the British patent of­ fice in 1718, to James Puckle, a citisen of London, for a gun mounted upon a tripod, having a single barrel and a revolving cylinder. Strangely enough, one ot the claims set forth in this patent appears almost verbatim, 130 years later. In a patent taken out by Rollin White, an American Invent­ or of a revolving pistol. Another cu­ rious claim of the patent was: "The mechanism permits the use of square bullets against the Turk and round bullets against Christians; moreover, so great is the rapidity of fire, that ships armed with the gun _ _ cannot be boarded by an attacking force.’’—8.

Doubtless a form of incense waa burned in China and in what is now India many centuries before Cheat, probably even before the time of Moses and Aaron. It may be that the wise men of those ancient days had learned through long years of experi­ ence that there was less illness when quantities of incense was burned than when none was used. Whether they believed this was because of some Di­ vine token of approval, or really un­ derstood the disinfective qualities of tbe incense is not known. ’ Crow “Helped" in Golf Game. An unusual golf story comes from Scotland.

Horae’s Feed Bab- portion of the bag is smaller than the mouth and that it narrows toward the center. Through thia narrowed sec­ tion runs a tube and through this tube the feed flows from the storage compartment, in the rear, to the feed­ ing compartment in front When the bag is not in use It can be effectually closed by folding the feeding section longitudinally and then transversely, thus completely shutting the opening between the two. When the bag is empty it collapses completely, owing to the triangular construction of the storage part SUCCULENT FOOD FOR STOCK* Little Added Expense In Providing An­ imals With Roots or Silage Store Under Teed Alley. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) Just as one enjoys eating an apple ocaslonally—especially during the winter, when less irult and vegetables are used than during the summer— Just so the live stock in the winter, when their rations consist largely of dry feed, need and appreciate some form of succulent food. There is very little added expense in supplying ani­ mals with a reasonable amount of succulent food, either In the form o' roots* or silage. For a herd of 12 or more cows, this succulent food is most cheaply supplied by the use ot silage; but for the smaller herd, or for a man without a silo, roots afford an excel­ lent substitute, for silage. By care In preparing the soil and growing the crop, from 15 to 25 tons of roots, like mangles, rutabagas or stock carrots, can be grown per acre. They can be stored under the feeding­ alley, or in a pit outside of the barn, at very little expense. Twenty tons of roots Kill supply 10 cows 20 pounds per day each for 200 days, and can be grown and harvested at a cost of lees than $40. The nutrients contain­ ed in 20 tons of roots are worth $30 when bran is worth $20 per ton; so the feeding value ot the roots is suf­ ficient to pay for the cost of pro­ duction, besides the additional advan­ tage of their supplying the succulence needed by the animal.
