AROUND THE WOLRD IN SIXTEEN MINUTES. For the purpose of determining hte time it would take to accomplish the feat, the New York Times, the other day, forwarded a message of nine words around the world by wire. It took exactly sixteen and one half minutes for the message to make the journey of 28,613 miles overland and under the seas of the two hemispheres. In that time it passed through the hands of eighteen different agencies, operating land and submarine lines in the new and old world, traversed the United States, and touched at the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Phillipines, China, two parts of India, Africa, Spain and the Azores. It flashed along the bottom of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the Red and Mediterranean Seas and Suez Canal and from Madras to Bombay buzzed its way through the primeval forests of the man-eating tiger, panther, boa-constrictor and python, over the 650 miles of land lines owned by the Indian Government. The experiment had a special significance in view of the fact that fifty-four years ago this month, Cyrus W. Field, saw his dream of electrical communication between England and the United States realized in the successful laying of the first Atlantic cable and hte transmission of messages between the two widely seperated nations. That achievement, following the introduction of the land telegraph of Professor Morse, by thirteen years, moved the world forward a thousand years. With its aid Dewey was enabled to notify the world of the sinking of the Spanish Armada under Montojo, 7500 miles away in Manilla Bay, an hour after that historic disaster to Castillian ascendency in the Far East. As we thing of this marvel, the picture of Nathan Rothschild riding at top speed on a fiery steed over night to the coast of Belgium with the first news of the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and its dispatch by boat and relays of trusted carriers, every forty miles from Dover to London, unconsciously looms before us, as a ghost of the wistful past. Reverting in fancy to those primitive days, as we felicitate on the wonder ow the modern ocean greyhound crossing the Atlantic in four days, the world now recalls in amazement how it took eighty for Ben Franklin, to make the journey to France on his mission for the American colonies. From the introduction of the cable dates most of those electrical engineering and other marvels which have since stirred the universe and fired the imagination of the progressive and thoughtful. Since then Alexander Graham Bell has biven us the telephone, Edison, the wonders of the electric light, Bessimer ihs great secret of modern steel making, Holland and Lake their sub-marine destroyers, Dealny, his time annihilating telepost automatic telegraph system, Westinghouse, his striking mechanical inventions, and Marconi his marvelous wireless system, not to overlook the automobile, the air ship, and the great inventions which have made possible the mile a minute railroad train, the skyscraper, the great canals, viaducts and bridges, which facilitate communication between communities and add to their comfort and convenience. Jager-Schmidt, a Paris journalist, circles the globe in 40 days for his paper and makes Jules Verne's conception of such an undertaking in 80 days, once considered an extravangantly impossible accomplishment, look ridiculous. Assuredly the world is speed mad. The question is not how fast is it moving, but when and where—ifever—will it stop? IT'S MOVING DAY. There has never been no uncertainty as to the stand of the "Plaindealer" on the question of that element that of our citizenship that prefer the red light and live without work on the shame of the residents thereof, and we also have advocated that it is moving day for this class of citizenship. We are with the movement of the Colored Progressive League, and think it is a good one and think that they should keep up the good work of morality as well as business for which they shall have the thanks of all who stand for good citizenship. The "Plaindealer" stands for all that is uplifting, and we most assuredly agree with the Colored Progressive eLague that this undesirable element are the weights which are holding down the progress of the race. We do not thing much of the proposition that is put forth only to throw dirt in somebody's eyes, of a threat to prosecute somebody who is on a committee for some infaction of the law months ago on the complaint the some member of the committee was seen to come out of some woman's house at five a.m. We believe that regardless of threats that committee will do its duty. Helena, Montana, Friday, September 8 roll Now some of the defenders of the pimps and men who disregard all semblance to even common decency who propose that men shall 'live in open and notorious cohabitation in a low abiding community have set up a great howl as to the work of a committee appointed by the Good Citizens league. All we have got to say is that the committee has done excellent as far as they have gone. All the fault that we desire to find is that they have not gone far enough but we will not complain at that Since they have begun their work, at least 6 notorious characters have come to the conclusion that Helena is not a good place to live in and the work is still going on. The officers are on the alert and we have Judge to issue out Justice to the transgressors. NEGRO DEMOCRACY. It is amusing as well as ridiculous to hear colored men declare for the Democratic party. It is a question of serious consideration whether it would not be advisable to have these colored men examined. Just how a colored man can declare for the Democratic party in the face of existing conditions is a question for serious consideration. Democratic representatives in congress are declaring against the negro every day. In states where the democratic party is in control the colored citizens have no more rights than a convict has in a penitentiary, except the citizen is allowed in the open, while the convict's privileges are limited. A writer to The Bee a few days ago justifies Democratic negroes for accepting spitoon washers' positions at the Capitol. He forgets that under a Republican administration the colored citizen is not only appointed to positions of spitoon washers, but to other high and responsible positions. Vicious utterances of the Governor of South Carolina a few weeks ago are evidences of the feeling of the Democratic party in the South toward the colored citizens. The Democratic party has nothing for the nergro Democrat. The Democratic party has no faith in the negro Democrat, and many of them remark the negro is ungrateful if he deserts those who have protected him. There must be insanity in the negro Democrat. Certainly nothing but insane beings would support those who abuse them. There is no difference between an insane person and a negro Democrat. An insane person will attack his best friend. If the negro Democrat was not insane he would not go to his enemy. If the Democratic party held out any inducements to the colored Americans, The Bee would not complain. If the Democratic party is states that it controls would repeal the obnoxious laws there would be an inducement for negroes to give it aid. Negro Democracy cannot be a trict in the present council. factor.—Washington Dee. Governor Allen who is Lieut. Governor of this state and resides at Anaconda is holding down the job as governor during governor Norris' absence of several weeks in the east. We would like to see Governor Allen elected to that office next fall. He is a broad-guarged man and a regular old Abraham Lincoln republican. We do not like to get personal with some of our subscribers but we do wont our subscriptions paid up and will insist on the same being done from now no. We are suprised at the way some of our subscribers take a bill when presented by us they seem to think we can buy paper and print it and do not need any thing at all to do it with. We will be around this week, please be ready to meet us. Hon. Jno. Wendell after the council had been deadlocked for many ballots as to who should be the presiding officer was finally their choice. Mr. Wendell is in every way deserving of the honors given him as he is a hard worker and consciencious at all times for the interests of his constituents. We do not share in the belief of some of our friends and some of the members of the Colored Progressive club that Cap. Adamson as constable has been unfaithful to a trust, that he is not sincere ect. We, of course, can be mistaken, and if he is not all right, we are. We have at all times found him courteous and obliging as an officer and we trust that the differences that exist between him and the committee from the progressive club can be settled and all will be better off. We do not understand that a man's color ought to cut much figure as to him watering a lawn and caring for a park. But according to Ward Cole we understand that it does, as he was discharged by the park commissioners on the east side for no other reason than that he was colored. We understand Mr. Goodkind is a member of this commission and others. Whatever you are shame on you for being so narrow the matter shall be taken up with the mayor and council. GOOD CITIZENS MOVEMENT. The colored citizens of Helena taken the initiative in a movement last week which will redound to their credit more than all the efforts of organization that they have ever attempted. The idea is largely to the extent that colored colored element condemn immorality, but the strong resolutions passed at this meeting against the vagrant pimp macques and secretaryies told in no uncertain manner the sentiment that has been crystalized in this city against that element. They elected officers and also a committee of five to confer with the proper officials to the end that the community should be ridded of this undesirable element. The meeting met at the Masonic hall at the foot of Broadway was called to order by B. F. Hooper who stated its object, whereupon H. J. Baker was elected as president and J. E. Lark, secretary. B. F. Hooper 1st vice president. A. J. Walton second vice president. Over fifty names were enrolled as members the different committees were appointed. The committee on permanent organization and by laws reported that the temporary organization be permanent and the organization be named the Colored Progressive League and the bylaws provide for work all along the line of racial progress. Morally and financially. The most important, after the moral issue is the business outlook. A committee which will look out after the business opportunities for members of the race. The organization bids fair to become an important issue in the progress of the city. And is to be made state-wide as during fair week a state organization will be perfected.

We have been told that somebody is getting paid for protection and also that one of the oldtimers stands so well that he can fix things for them.

NEGRO SCHOOLS IN THE SOUTH The work being done by the South for Negro schools is indicated in the fact that of $1,000,000,000 spent upon common schools in the 16 former slave States and the District of Columbia since 1871 at least $185,000,000 have been spent upon common schools for Negroes. In that territory the common school enrollment increased from 2,013,684 white and 685,942 Negroes in 1870-71 to 4,692,927 whites and 1,655,781 Negroes in 1907-08. In 1860 there were in the public schools of the South 781,199 pupils out of a total of 4,955,894 in the United States, and the income of these public schools in the South was $4,474,370 out of a total of $22,548,519 in the United States. The popularity of the academy and other private schools at that time in the South was one of the influences against the spread of common school idea there in that period. FIVE NEW RIGHTS Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, the Race's Highest Educated Citizen, Defines the Five New Rights Which All Men, White and Black, Should EnjoyCommented on By Robert Hunter in the Printer and Decorator Magazine. Some time ago Professor W. E. B. Dubois, of Atlanta University, spoke in New York. He spoke of the five rights which all men, white or black, should enjoy. 50c 27-inch Silk Mull, in very newest shades, yard .....35c 35c very large and heavy Turk- ish Towels, each .....29c 65c 36-inch Round Thread Linen for waists, yard.....50c 6 1-4c 36-inch Bleached Cheese Cloth, yard .....5c $1.25 Honey Comb Bed Spread .....75c 30c 36-inch Fancy Curtain Madras, per yard .....11c 50c Fancy Poplins in latest shades for waists and suits, per yard .....35c 20c Fast Color Black Lawn for dresses, per yard.....12 1-2- 12 1-2c 25-inch Fancy Cretons for draperies, yard.....8 1-3c The first was, he said, "The right to individuality, and I mean by this, the right to his own color, and his own way of thinking, and to his own prejudices, so far as these things do not interfere with other people's rights to the same thing. "Second—The right to public courtesy. This world, from now on, is going to be a world of contact of races. It is going to be utterly impossible to separate and isolate men. In the past, contact meant war, caste and slavery, but today it must not and cannot mean these, for these will cost too much to be indulged in. If, then, this to be a world of contact, each being in it has the right of public courtesy; to visit public places without insul and to travel in public conveyance unmolested and to be entertained in public hostelries. "Third—A citizen of the world should have the right of opportunity. We used to say the right of education, but this demand should be broadened to the right of opportunity; the right to be educated in his childhood and then to have the doors of economic and political development thrown open to him, according to his ability. Herein lies the answer of that great search for ability which human culture must make. Hitherto, we have said, not that we must have men of ability, but that we must be English, or that they must belong to the first families. Now the Lord, in his great wisdom, did not confine the ability to acquire wisdom to any one class of people, but distributed it to men of many races and all degrees of color, and this ability must be found and honored and put in command, regardless of prejudice. "Fourth—The citizen of the New World must have the right of peace. The protection from force and violence in the prosecution of work, and this cannot be done until a stop is put to war and lynching and peonage and wage slavery. "Fifth—He has a right to the truth. If he has a right to be protected against yhysical violence, he has a greater right to protection against moral lies. Race prejudice in this land could not stand for a day if as much effort was made to have the truth in regard to all human beings known as is now made in trying to spread lies about them" rights which all men, white and These, then, are the five The Brass Bowl BY LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE PICTURES BY A. WELL COPYRIGHT 1907 COPYRIGHT 1907 THE BOBBS-MORRILL CO. ____ SYNOPSIS. "Mad" Dan Maitland, on reaching his New York bachelor club, met an attractive young woman at the door. Jauntier, now assured him so one week, within a week, he opened a window an's finger prints in dust on his desk, along with a letter from his attorney, Maitland died with Bermanman, his attorney, who had given him his family jewels. During his walk to the country seat, he not the young woman in gray, whom he had seen leave, broke down. He fixed it. By a ruse she "lost" him. Maitland, on reaching home, surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe, containing his gems, he appeared to have known Antisy, Half-hypnotized. Maitland opened his safe, took therefrom the jewels, and gave them to her, first forming a part with her, before being sought by police of the world, appeared on the same mission. Maitland overcame him. He met the girl outside the house, and she asked him to. He had the jewels and she promised to meet him that day. Maitland received a "Mr. Smith," introducing himself as a Jeweler, about to the girl in the jewels, supposedly lost, was felled by a blow from "Smith's" cane. The latter proved to be Jauntier himself and he secured the double, masqueraded as the latter. CHAPTER V.—Continued. At sight of him the thief was conscious of an inward tremor, followed by a thrill of excitement like a wave of heat sweeping through his being. Instantaneously his eyes flashed; then were dulled. Imperurbable, listless, hall-marked the prey of ennul, he waited, undecided, upon the stoop, while the watcher opposite, catching sight of him, abruptly abandoned his slouch and hastened across the street. "Excuse me," he began in a loud tone, while yet a dozen feet away, "but isn't this Mr. Maitland?" Anxiety lifted his brows and shoulders at one and the same time and bowed slightly. "Well, my good man?" "I'm a detective from headquarters, Mr. Maitland. We got a 'phone from Greenfields, Long Island, this morning—from the local police. Your butler—" "Ah! I see; about this man Anisty? You don't mean to tell me—what? I shall discharge Higgins at once. Just on my way to breakfast. Won't you join me? We can talk this matter over at our leisure. What do you say to Eugene's? It's handy, and I dare say we can find a quiet corner. By the way, have you the time concealed about your person?" Anisty was fumbling in his fobpocket and inwardly cursing himself for having been such an ass as to overlook Maitland's timepiece. "Deuced awkward!" he muttered in genuine annoyance. "I've mislaid my watch." "It's most one o'clock, Mr. Maitland." Flattered, the man from headquarters dropped into step by the burglar's side. Eugene's at Two. "Since we don't want to be overheard," remarked Mr. Anisty, "it's no use trying the grillroom downstairs, although I admit it is more interesting." "Just as veh say, sir." Awed an, awkward, the police detective stumbled up the steps behind his imperturbable guide; it was a great honor, in his eyes, to lunch in company with a "swell." Man of stodgy common sense and limited education that he was, the glamour of the Maitland millions obscured his otherwise clear vision completely. And uneasily he speculated as to whether or not he would be able to manipulate correctly the usual display of knives and forks. An obsequious headwaiter greeted them, bowing in the lobby. "Good afternoon, Mr. Maitland," he murmured. "Table for two?" "Good afternoon," responded the masquerader, with an assumed abstraction, inwardly congratulating himself upon having hit upon a restaurant where the real Maltland was evidently known. There were few circumstances which he could not turn to profit, fewer emergencies to which he could not rise, he complimented Handsome Dan Anisty. "A table for two," he drawled Maltland-wise. "In a corner somewhere, away from the crowd, you know." "This way, if you please, Mr. Maltland." "By the way," suggested the burglar, unfolding his serviette and glancing keenly about the room—which by good chance was thinly populated, "by the way, you know, you haven't told me your name yet." "Hickey—John W. Hickey, detective bureau." "Thank you." A languid hand pushed the pink menu card across the table to Mr. Hickey. "And what do you see that you'd like?" "Well . . .." Hickey became conscious that both unwieldy feet were nervously twined about the legs of his chair; blushed; disentangled them; and in an attempt to cover his confusion, plunged madly into consideration of a column of table'dhote French, not one word of which conveyed the slightest particle of information to his intelligence. "Well," he repeated, and moistened his lips. The room seemed suddenly very hot, notwithstanding the fact that an obnoxious electric fan was sending 0 M. "Good Afternoon," Responded the Masquerader. a current of cool air down the back of his neck. "I ain't," he declared in ultimate desperation, "hungry, much. Had a bite a little while back, over to the Gilsey house bar." "Would a little drink—?" "Thanks. I don't mind." "Waiter, bring Mr. Hickey a bottle of No. 72. For me—let me see—cafe au lait," with a grand air, "and rolls. You must remember this is my breakfast, Mr. Hickey. I make a rule never to drink anything for six hours after rising." Anisty selected a cigarette from the Maitland case, lit it, and contemplated the detective's countenance with a winning smile. "Now, as to this Anisty affair last night." safe. Reason No. 2: Having my property, I hold no grudge Anisty." "Well—I dunno—" "And as for reason No. care to have this affair adv the papers get hold of it to up a lot of silly details the cupidity of every thief if he, and make me more trow care to—ah—contemplate." Hickey's eyes glistened. if you want it kept quiet-gested, significantly. Anisty's hand sought it. "How much?" "Well, I guess I can lea you. Yell oughtuh know he want the matter hushed." As I calculate it, the 66 Under the stimulus of the champagne, to say naught of his relief at having evaded the ordeal of the cutlery, Hickey discoursed variously and at length upon the engrossing subject of Anisty, gentleman-cracksman, while the genial counterpart of Daniel Maitland listened with apparent but deceptive apathy, and had much ado to keep from laughing in his guest's face as the latter, perspiringly earnest, unfolded his plans for laying the burglar by the heels. From time to time, and at intervals steadily decreasing, the hand of the host sought the neck of the bottle, inclining it carefully above the thistemmed glass that Hickey kept in almost constant motion. And the detective's fatuous loquacity flowed as the contents of the bottle ebed. Yet, as the minutes wore on, the burglar began to be conscious that it was but a shallow well of information and amusement that he pumped. The game, fascinating with its spice of daring as it had primarily been, began to pall. At length the masquerader calculated the hour as ripe for what he had contemplated from the beginning; and interrupted Hickey with scant consideration, in the middle of a most interesting exposition. "You'll pardon me, I'm sure, if I trouble you again for the time." The fat red fingers sought uncertainly for the timepiece; the bottle was now empty. The hour, as announced, was ten minutes to two. "I've an engagement," invented Anisty, plausibly, "with a friend at two. If you'll excuse me—? Garcon, I addition!" "Then I und'stand, Mister Maitland, we c'n count on yeh?" Anisty, eyelids drooping, tipped back his chair a trifle and regarded Hickey with a fair imitation of the whimsical Maltland smile. "Hardly, I think." "Why not?" "truncately." "Why not?"—truculently. "To be frank with you, I have three excellent reasons. The first should be sufficient: I'm too lazy." Disgruntled, Hickey stared and shook a disapproving head. "I was afraid of that; yeh swells don't never seem to think nothin' of yer duties to社會't." Anisty airily waved the indictment aside. "Moreover, I have lost nothing. You see, I happened in just at the right moment; our criminal friend got nothing for his pains. The jewels are safe. Reason No. 2: Having retained my property, I hold no grudge against Anisty. “Well—I dunno—” "And as for reason No. 3: I don't care to have this affair advertised. If the papers get hold of it they'll cook up a lot of silly details that'll excite the cupidity of every thief in the country, and make me more trouble than I care to—ah—contemplate." Hickey's eyes glistened. "Of course, if ye want it kept quiet—" he suggested, significantly. Anisty's hand sought his pocket. "How much?" "Well, I guess I can leave that to you. Yeh oughttuh know how bad-yeh want the matter hushed." "As I calculate it, then, fifty ought to be enough for the boys; and fifty will repay you for your trouble." The end of Hickey's expensive panetela was tilted independently toward the ceiling. "Shouldn't wonder if it would," he murmured, gratified. Anisty stuffed something bulky back into his pocket and wadded another something—green and yellow colored—into a little pill, which he presently flicked carelessly across the table. The detective's large mottled paw closed over it and moved toward his waist-coat. "As I was sayin'," he resumed, "I'm sorry yeh don't see yer way to givin' us a hand. But p'rhaps yeh're right. Still, if the citizens 'd only give us a hand onct in a while—" "Ah, but what gives you your living, Hickey?" argued the amateur sophist. "What but the activities of the criminal element? If society combined with you for the elimination of crime, what would become of your job?" He rose and wring the disconsolate one warmly by the hand. "But there, I am sorry to have to hurry you away. . . Now that you know where to find me, drop in some evening and have a cigar and a chat. I'm in town a good deal, off and on, and always glad to see a friend." At another time, and with another man, Anisty would not have ventured to play his catch so roughly; but, as he had reckoned, the comfortable state of mind induced by an unexpected addition to his income and a quart of champagne, had dulled the official apprehensions of Sergt. Hickey. Mumbling a vague acceptance of the too-genial invitation, the exalted detective rose and ambled cheerfully down the room and out of the door. Anisty lit another cigarette and contemplated the future with satisfaction. As a diplomat he was inclined to hold himself a success. Indeed all things taken under mature consideration, the conclusion was inevitable that he was the very devil of a fellow. With what consummate skill he had played his hand! Now the pursuit of the Maitland burglar would be abandoned; the news item suppressed at headquarters. And it was equally certain that Maitland (when eventually liberated) would be at pains to keep his part of the affair very much in shadow. The masquerader ventured a mystical smile at the world in general. One pictured the evening when the infatuated detective should find it convenient to drop in on the exclusive Mr. Maitland. "Der. Anisty?" CHAPTER VII. Illumination In a breath was self-satisfaction banished; simultaneously the masquerader brought his gaze down from the ceiling, his thoughts to earth, his vigilance to the surface, and himself to his feet, summoning to his aid all that he possessed of resource and expedient. Trapped!—the word blazed incandescent in his brain. So long had he foreseen and planned against this very moment. Yet panic swayed him for but a little instant; as swiftly as it had overcome him it subsided, leaving him shocked, a shade more pale, but rapidly reasserting control of his faculties. And with this shade of emotion came complete reassurance. His name had been uttered in no stern or menacing tone; rather its syllables had been pitched in a low and guarded key, with an undernote of railley and cordiality. In brief, the moment that he recognized the voice as a woman's, he was again master of himself, and, aware that the result of his instinctive impulse to rise and defend himself, which had brought him to a standing position, would be interpreted as only the natural action of a gentleman addressed by a feminine acquaintance, he was confident that he had not betrayed his primal consternation. He bowed, smiled, and with eyes in which astonishment swiftly gave place to gratification and complete comprehension, appraised her who had addressed him. She seemed to have fluttered to the table, beside which she now stood, slightly swaying, her walking costume of gray shot silk falling about her in soft, tremulous petals. Dainty, chic, well-poised, serene, flawlessly pretty is her miniature fashion: Anisty recognized her in a twinkling. His perceptions, trained to observations as instantaneous as those of a snap-shot camera, and well-nigh as accurate, had photographed her individuality indelibly upon the film of his memory, even in the abbreviated encounter of the previous night. By a similar play of educated reasoning faculties keyed to the highest pitch of immediate action, he had difficulty as scant in accounting for her presence there. What he did not quite comprehend was why Maitland had used her so kindly; for it had been plain enough that that gentleman had surprised her in the act of safe-breaking before conniving at her escape. But, allowing that Maitland's actions had been based upon motives vague to the 'burglar's' understanding, it was quite in the scheme of possibilities that he should have arranged to meet his protegee at the restaurant that afternoon. She was come to keep an appointment to which (now that Anisty came to remember) Maitland had alluded in the beginning of their conversation. Well and good; once before, within the past two hours, he had told himself that he was Good-enough Maitland. He was be even better now. "But you did surprise me!" he declared, gallantly, before she could wonder at his slowness to respond. "You see, I was dreaming." He permitted her to surmise the object round which his dreams had been woven. "And I had expected you to be eagerly watching for me!" she parried, archly. "I was . . . . mentally. But," he warned her, seriously, "not that name. Maitland is known here; they call me Maitland—the waiters. It seems I made a bad choice. But with your assistance and discretion we can bluff it out, all right." "I forgot. Forgive me." But now she was in the chair opposite him, tucking the lower ends of her gloves into their wrists. "No matter—nobody heard." "I very nearly called you Handsome Dan." She flashed a radiant smile at him from beneath the rim of her picture hat. A fire was kindled in Anisty's eyes; he was conscious of a quickened drumming of his pulses. "Dun is Maltaït's front name, also," he remarked, absently. "I thought as much," she responded, quietly speculative. The burglar hardly heard. It has been indicated that he was quick-witted, because he had to be, in the very nature of his avocation. Just now his brain was working rather more rapidly than usual, even; which was one reason why the light had leaped into his eyes. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Good Times in Turkey. "You people of the warmer climates have little idea of our exhilarating winter sports," said the tourist from New England. "Oh. I don't know," responded the Turk. "We have some pretty lively little staying parties over in Armenia." —Kansas City Times. SUMMER WORK IN ORCHARDS Clover Is One of Best Crops for Conservation of Moisture—Tree Mulching Is Essential. (Br M. J. KINGSBURY By M. J. KINGSBURY. Cover crops should be sown early in August. Clover is one of the very best cover crops that can be utilized as its roots penetrate deep into the soil to conserve moisture and to store up nitrogen. The best orchardists sow from twelve to fifteen pounds of red clover to the acre as soon after haying as convenient. If the soil is so rich that a very rank growth of clover is secured, mow the clover just before apple picking and allow it to remain on the ground and be plowed under early the following year. Buckwheat is recommended by many apple growers for a cover crop. This should be sown in July. When rye is used do not sow later; last of August or the first week of September. Cover crops serve as a mulch for the ground, to retain moisture, arrest plant food that would be wasted by soil erosion and leaching and as a source of nitrogen supply as in the case of clover and the other legumes. Another essential to good crops of fruit is mulching the trees. Straw, swale grass or refuse fodder are excellent for mulching trees. Use a liberal quantity. PREPARING THE OAT FIELD Like All Other Small Grain Crops Firm Seed Bed Is One of Essentials of Success. (Bx R. M. LEONARD) With the oat crop the same as with all of the other small grain crops we find that the firm seed bed is one of the essentials of success. Land that does not puddle and wash had best be plowed in the fall and disked both ways with the disk harrow, harrowed lengthwise with the spring tooth harrow and then harrowed crosswise with the same implement. This gives the man who is drilling in the spring a clear field and he does not become confused with the ridges left by the harrow, as is the case when the field is drilled the same way as it is harrowed. When grass seed is sowed the ground should be gone over with a smoothing harrow, so that all of the fine seed may be covered. Many farmers still cling to the old idea that the field should be gone over with a roller, but there are certain conditions of the soil when a roller will prove an actual detriment to the coming crop and for that reason we no longer make a practice of rolling our oat field after it is planted. Feeding Molasses to Horses Feeding molasses to Horses. A sugar refinery in Brooklyn, N. Y., feeds molasses to its teams, giving each horse one-half quart corn meal, one quart wheat bran, three plints sugar house syrup, and seven pounds cut hay. At noon, five quarts oats. The night ration is the same as the morning, except five pounds of loose hay is fed in addition to the cut hay which is mixed with the grain. These horses weigh from 1,700 to 1,800 pounds and are fed at a cost of thirty-four cents per day. They are fine, sleek-looking animals, and attract attention of horsemen generally on account of their extremely well-fed appearance. According to experts the economy due to the molasses fed results in a saving of from 20 to 27 per cent. over the old system of maintaining on oats and hay entirely. Setting Out Plants Nothing is gained by setting out plants too early in the spring, as the cold will give them a setback that they may never overcome. Plants may be seasoned by exposing them to the sun during warm days and giving them plenty of ventilation at night when not too cold. Much damage done to plants which is ascribed to frost is really caused by twisting, which the plant receives from the winds. A supply of little frames to protect them should be on hand. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are especially susceptible to injury by high winds. Squab Brollers An authority claims that squab broilers for home consumption are easiest dressed by skinning. Slit the skin along the back, and taking off both skin and feathers is the work of only a minute, while plucking the feathers and pin feathers of a lot of squab broilers is the work of hours. Broiled for a few minutes in saithed water and fried in butter gives you a fish equal to frog's legs. Sunflower Seed. Sunflower seed contains about 16 per cent. of protein and 21 per cent. of fat. It is nearly four times as fattening for hens as corn, and must therefore be fed with extreme caution. A small per cent. of sunflower seed during the molting season, and in very cold weather is a good thing, but it does not do to overdo in feeding any good thing. Don't Dose Animals Do not dose animals with any medicine unless they are really sick. In most cases a change of diet and rest will bring the animal back to normal condition. Effect of Bad Roads It is estimated that the shipping cost of a ton one mile by wagon-road in America is between two and three times the cost in England, France and Germany. Cantonese Still Content With Archaic Water Clock Among the Quaint Survivors of An other Age Is This Primitive Form of Time Register and Hour Glass. Canton, China.—Threading the narrow, dark, winding streets of Canton it is easy for the traveler to imagine that he has been suddenly transported into some forgotten century. There is no large city visited by the tourist that is so entirely native in its aspect—that is so entirely immersed in its own peculiar civilization. Canton looks practically the same today as it must have looked nearly six centuries ago when the celebrated Venetian adventurer, Marco Polo, visited it and wrote his vivid descriptions of its many curiosities. Among the quaint survivals of another age the famous water clock must take a prominent place. This is a primitive form of time register and hour glass worked by water. To visit it the stranger makes his way along the picturesque and crowded street of the double gateway in the old city. Here are the largest and most fashionable book stores, and it is this street that is the most favorable haunt of the literati. The double gateway itself pieces a section of a very fine old wall dating from the seventh or eighth century and above it is seen the curious erection in which the Sleepsydra, or water clock, is housed. This consists of four large copper fars mounted on steps one above the other in such fashion that when the top one is filled the water flows very slowly, drop by drop, into the next one and then on into the lowest. In this last one is a float to which it attached an indicator or measure it A man stands in front of three stacked buckets, each with a handle. The buckets are arranged in a vertical column, with the top bucket being the largest and the bottom bucket the smallest. The man is wearing a dark sweater and light-colored pants. Water Clock and Attendant. takes exactly a day of 12 hours for the contents of the top jar to be emptied completely into the lowest. As the water steadily rises in this last receptacle the float points to the hour marked on the indicator. The archaeal time gauge was first erected about 1324 A. D. It has a history full of incidents; it has been destroyed many times during invasions from without and riots within the city. But it has always been restored, so that today, in spite of the advances made in mechanical methods of measuring time, we find the old water clock in practical use as it was 500 years ago. For at intervals during the day (more or less) correct time is exhibited on a board outside the building and the native Chinese are quite content to pin their faith to this unique servant of old Father time. More Dogs in France. Paris.—There are more dogs in France than most countries. Thus it appears that to one thousand inhabitants there are 75 dogs in France and only 38 in England, 31 in Germany and 11 in Sweden. Still hydrophobia is extremely rare in the Department of the Seine, the last case observed dating back to the year 1905. Dr. Martel says this good state of things has been brought about by the law for killing not only every mad dog, but also for killing every dog any mad dog may have bitten or played with. But since this law cannot work out to perfection the French also exterminate all stray dogs. No Longer Have Small Feet. Boston, Mass.—Women's feet are growing larger. A Massachusetts shoe manufacturer is authority for the assertion. He says a few years ago the average feminine American buyer of footgear asked for a No. 4. Nowadays most women take a No. 5 or a No. 6, and in some cases, it is whispered, even larger sizes. The width is greater, too. The man of lasts and pegs thinks the increasing activity of women in the last few years and their taller stature, vouched for by investigators, responsible for the passing of small feet.

I was in bed for four or five days at a time every month, and so weak I could hardly walk. I cramped and had backache and headache, and was so nervous and weak that I dreaded to see anyone or have anyone move in the room. The doctors gave me medicine to ease me at those Mary C. times, and said that I ought to have an operation. I would not listen to that, and when a friend of my husband told him about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and what it had done for his wife, I was willing to take it. Now I look the picture of health and feel like it, too. I can do my own housework, hoe my garden, and milk a cow, I can entertain company and enjoy them. I can visit when I choose, and walk as far as any ordinary woman, any day in the month. I wish I could talk to every suffering woman and girl."—Mrs. DEMA BETHUNE, Sikeston, Mo. The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is more widely and successfully used than any other remedy. It has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed.

New York.—Black Hand outrages, murders, kidnapping and bomb throwing, now of frequent occurrence in all parts of the United States, have led many persons to believe that the "Black Hand" is a closely associated secret society, similar to the Mafia and Camorra. That is not so, according to those best informed. Mono Nera, or "Black Hand," has been adopted as the common name by the gang of assassins and blackmailers in different parts of the country in the last seven years. The phrase was colled by a New York reporter who wanted to get a "beat" while covering a kidnapping case. He got the beat, his paper and finally other papers took up the name in designating crime among the Italians and Sicilians and the blackmailers themselves then adopted it. Today the name is known throughout the country, and even in Italy, it is said, the signature Mono Nera is frequently as potent a factor in wringing tribute from a victim as the sign of the dreaded Camorra in Naples and Southern Italy or the Mafia in Sicily. "The story of the 'Black Hand' is interesting as showing what a sample suggestion will do and to what lengths it may go," said a man who was fallar with the origin of the "society." "Following the murder of the chief of police in New Orleans and the lynching of his murderers, few Italian crimes came to the public notice until about nine years ago. Of course, the Mafia and the Camorra were secretly blackmailing wealthy residents of the growing Latin colonies in this country, and occasionally there was a murder. These, however, escaped more than casual mention in the papers. "Following New York's 'barrel murder' in New York city and the release of the suspects, crime among the Italians increased to an alarming extent. It was while 'covering' a kidnapping case of unusual pathos that the inventor of the 'Black Hand' hit upon a name that has now become synonymous with Italian crime. He was glancing over some blackmailing letters in an East Side station house. In themselves the letters were commonplace, the usual threats being made and the missives adorned with crudely drawn pictures of coffins and the stiletto-perlced hearts. In one letter the stiletto was held against the heart by a hand, and it was on this circumstance that the name of the now dreaded 'secret society' was founded." After a more severe reproof than usual little Bessie, who is very sensitive, thought diligently for a minute and then said: "Mamma, isn't there any way a child can get a divorce from its parents?"

Pilot Rock, Ore.—A hen mothering a litter of six wee pigs is the unusual spectacle to be witnessed on the irrigation farm of William H. Evans, just south of town. The hen had made her nest in the pigpen, filled it with eggs and started to setting before it was discovered by an old sow, who converted the eggs into pork. Though her nest had been destroyed, the hen's mother instinct remained, so she adopted the sow's litter of pigs. During the day she follows them about, as they pay little attention to her, and follow the mother pig until evening. Then it is that the hen calls the young porkers to her and hovers them with her wings, just as she would little chickens. The pigs seem to appreciate the downy couch thus afforded them, remaining under the wings throughout the night. LONGEVITY RUNS IN FAMILY Health Record of Pennsylvania Family Is Remarkable—No Death In Forty-Eight Years. Philadelphia.—A remarkable instance of family immunity from death is afforded in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Bierman of Shenandoah, who will shortly celebrate their golden wedding and who have relatives living in this city. Eleven children, seven boys and four girls, were born to them, all of whom are living. Indeed there has not been a death in the immediate family in 48 years. There are now 13 grandchildren. Mr. Biermann is seventy-three years old and his wife sixty-nine. Longevity seems to be common in the family, for an older brother of Mr. Biermann, a veteran of the Civil war, who resides with him, is hale and hearty in his eighties. A sister of Mrs. Biermann, Mrs. W. Schley, of Easton, recently celebrated her golden wedding Swallows Compass Points Ithaca, N. Y.—Sixteen small steel compass points were removed by surgeons the other day from the stomach of T. J. Williams, an instructor of the Cornell college of civil engineering. The surgeons believe he will recover. Prof. Williams placed the points in a capsule for safe keeping some time ago and swallowed the capsule without examining it closely, thinking it was medicine.

I know us folks couldn't." THE KEYSTONE TO HEALTH IS HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS EXPLORING THE Six Nations Interested in Series of Investigations. Mass of Information Concerning Conditions in High Altitudes is Being Obtained—Weather Balloons Used for Tests. Omaha.—Six nations are interested in a series of investigations now being carried on in Omaha by the United States government and collaborated in by the governments of England, Germany, France, Italy and Belgium. These investigations have for their object the thorough exploration of the atmosphere at a height of more than ten miles above the earth's surface, and so successfully are they being carried out that a mass of information concerning conditions existing as high as eleventeen miles up in the air has been secured. Similar explorations are being conducted in the countries named above and when these are completed all information gathered by each country is to be exchanged with all other countries engaged in the investigations. The research is being prosecuted with the assistance of "weather balloons," which are sent aloft bearing in attached baskets a number of delicate contrivances for measuring whatever conditions are met on the trip from earth through the clouds and back again to earth. The experiments continue for two weeks, a weather balloon being sent up each afternoon during that period by each of the six governments. When the information thus gained is properly arranged the meteorological bureaus in each of the countries taking part will receive tabulated copies. The little balloons, which are six feet in diameter, are so arranged that that they will explode somewhere far above the ten-mile level, the explosive force being the hydrogen with which the bag is filled. One of these balloons recently reached a height of 18 miles before bursting and at that altitude the temperature was only 34 degrees below zero, although at a point between nine and ten miles high the records showed A Weather Balloon at Omaha. that a temperature of 94 degrees below zero had been gone through. On this particular date the temperature at Omaha, the starting point of the balloon, was 47 degrees above zero. Another balloon registered an air current traveling at a rate of more than 100 miles an hour. The instruments used are so delicate that one of them—that for measuring the humidity—depends for its record upon the distance that a human hair will lengthen on passing through a stratum of air which contains slightly more moisture than did the stratum immediately below it. The records are made upon a soot-covered cylinder by a stylus point, operated by a level, which in turn is controlled by the instruments. This cylinder is slowly turned by a clockwork arrangement, and when the box is returned to the weather station a glance at the sooty covering will give the atmospheric pressure, the humidity, and the wind velocity at any height traversed by the balloon. The strand of hair used in the instrument for determining the humidity is chemically dried before it is placed in position. Thereafter, upon passing through a moist stratum, the hair absorbs a portion of the moisture, the hair lengthens and the stylus point records the change on the cylinder. If the next stratum is dry some of the moisture in the hair is evaporated, the hair becomes shorter, and the cylinder makes the record accordingly. The air pressure is determined, or recorded by the aid of a small cylinder, from which most of the air has been drawn. A small plunger, to which is attached a stylus point, makes the necessary scratches on the toot-covered cylinder. * Drapery on Poster Women. New York.—There was joy in Jamaica, especially among the members of the citizens' committee, over the receipt of a letter from a bill posting company which has to do with the "immoral posters" which have decorated the fences for some time. The letter was sent by F. L. Hann of Brooklyn and was to the effect that a great reform will be worked in the matter of the displaying of burlesque house posters. Mr. Hann informs the committee that hereafter when a burlesque poster shows a woman in tights, "something will be placed over these tights hiding from view any of the woman's bare limbs." OLDEST WELL IN THE WORLD. Place Where Confucius Drew Water as Boy Now Used as Shrine. Pekin.—Confucius, who lived from 551 to 479 B. C., was a moralist rather than a religious founder, his method of teaching being like that of Socrates. It was not till about 500 years later that he was defied. His nearest lineal descendant has the title of duke and ranks next to Well 2,450 Years Old. princes of the blood. The well from which he drew water as a boy is 2,450 years old and is now used as a shrine. The well is in the grounds of the Confucian temple at Kufow. Confucius, although of very ancient lineage, was brought up in poverty. At the age of 50 he became minister of crime in his native state of Lu (modern Shantung), but his uprightness made him unpopular, and he was banished. Later, he returned and spent his last days writing his famous maxims. THE TRUTH ABOUT BLUING Talk No. 10. Be thrifty on this little thing. Don't accept water for bluing.

The Piano Recital given by Miss Alma Bass at Germania hall on Thursday evening, was a unquestionable success, both and finanance, and the program was received with enthusiasm by the audience. Miss Olga York who assisted Miss Bass, did herself proud in her recitation, as also was the vocal selection by Miss Ella Anderson, she was heartily enced. The following were the selections played by Miss Bass, and we are told that her rendition of these was superb. Special mention should be made of her rendition of the Hungarian Rhapsold by Engleman, which is a very difficult and intricate composition which call for execution and touch of the greatest proficiency. All who heard Miss Bass and know of her efforts left saying that she did herself proud and while Helena claims her, they give all honor to Western University for the great work that they are doing in training and rearing our youth.
