THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. A Simple Water Test. All mothers of families are aware of the need for purity in the water supply. A simple test, easily tried by anyone, is given in a scientific paper as safe and efficient. Draw a tumblerful of water from the uncertain well or tap, put in it a piece of lump sugar, and let it stand over night in a room where the temperature will not be under 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the morning the water, if pure, will be perfectly clear; if contaminated by sewage or other impurities the water will be milky. Rev. Mark Thompson, of Lawrence, Kan., preached at the 2nd Baptist church Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Thompson is an able speaker and was for seven years pastor of Vine street church, Macon City. The church gave him $500. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and unnous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Normal, Instrumental, Vocals Wood-working, Machinery, Printing, Cooking, Laundering Rufus L. LOGAN, Editor Columbia - - - - Missouri MAYOR HARRISON UNDERSTOOD He Says There is Dishonesty in Every Office in That City—Graft and All Kinds of Graft to be Found—Fault is With Employees. Chicago, Oct. 6.—There is graft in every department of the city hall, all kinds of graft, little graft and big graft," declared Mayor Harrison yesterday in a sweeping indictment against many of the employees of his administration. He made this statement in defense of the reads of departments and incidentally in defense of Health Commissioner Reynolds, styling that they were unable to control the acts of their subordinates. He made the general charge, not against and department head, but against the employees of the departments. "If I had the power to discharge every man suspected of grafting, emwindow in the building more rapidlypioys would be flying out of everythan they did at the beginning of theSwift administration," continued the chief executive. "And I wish I hadthe power—I certainly would get every one of them. I have 18 months leftand I will get a few of them even under the present conditions." The mayor said that the trouble was that he couldn't catch the grafters because he was required to provecharges before the civil service commission. He pleaded for an amendment to the civil service law wherebythe head of the department could discharge any employee without trial. "One of the most urgent demands on the next legislature is that it make this change in the law," said the mayor. "That would stop much of the grafting. The head of the department does not have the right to say who shall receive a position upon the discharge of another employee. So long as there is anything to inspect temptations will be offered the inspectors and some of them will fall. Well-to-do people often place the temptation before the public employee." The mayor said that two aldermen and another man had convinced him that a certain city employe had been grafting and charges were filed against the employe. The case was heard and the commission notified the mayor that the man must be reinstated. The mayor was given a little time and offered to permit the employe to return to work on the promise that he would resign. "I was morally certain that employe had been grafting, but we were unable to get him out by civil service trial and he would be in the employment of the city today if he had the nerve to take a bluff. He was afraid that the commission would find against him and he stepped out." NO SUNDAY SPORTS Alabama Has a New Law Prohibiting the Playing of Baseball and Other Games. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 6.—Governor Jeiks has signed the bill recently passed by the legislature prohibiting the playing on Sunday of baseball, football, golf and tennis in the state of Alabama. The bill as originally introduced included only baseball, and was aimed at the playing of that game on Sunday at Montgomery. In the house football was added. Several members from Birmingham wanted tennis and golf included in order to stop the Sunday playing of those games by wealthy Birmingham people at the course of the Birmingham Golf club at Elyton, a suburb where it was claimed the residents were annoyed by these games. This amendment was added. The new law makes it a misdeanor to play any of the prohibit ed games on Sunday and fixes a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $50 on each person taking part on Sunday in the prohibited games. The effect will be to stop Sunday baseball in the Southern league at Montgomery. WILL TRY IOWA BANKER T. F. Ward of Le Mars to Have Hearing in Federal Court. Le Mars, la., Oct. 6.—T. F. Ward the defaulting vice president and manager of the Le Mars National bank, will be tried in the federal court at Sioux City next month. Ward lost $30,000 of the bank's money speculating on the Chicago Board of Trade two years ago, according to the indictment. Several of the leading lawyers in the state will appear in the case. Age of the World. In an article on "The Age of the World" Sir Edward Fry, the famous English geologist, declares that 450,000,000 years must have elapsed since the existence of life on the globe. GENERAL POLITICAL LEGAL A Brief Resum SCIENTIFIC New Idea of Hay Fever. Prof. Dunbar of Hamburg, Germany, who for seven years has studied the problem of hay fever, throws much light on that subject in an article translated by the Scientific American. He says that the disease is caused by the pollen of grasses, but not by any mechanical irritation. He has taken from pollen a poison or toxin which, being soluble in water, produces hay fever when a drop of it is put in the eye or nose. A curative serum was then produced by inoculating animals. Experiments since January of the present year have shown that this serum when applied four or five times to hay fever patients resulted in cures. So far Dr. Dunbar has not been able to get a toxin from any plant not of the grass family. Airship Circles St. Paul's. Stanley Spencer, the English aeronaut, made his proposed air voyage around St. Paul's cathedral September 17. He left Crystal palace at 5 o'clock in the evening, reached the church at 5:30, made a half circuit and started back, when a strong south wind drove the airship northward, and it was lost to view. At 6:30 he landed safely in Trent park, New Barnet, eight miles from London. Fossil Monsters Found. Prof. F. B. Lummis of Amherst has returned from a three months' exploration of the bad lands of Dakota and Wyoming, having found the remains of 500 fossil animals or parts of animals. In eastern Wyoming choice specimens of sea animals were found, one being as large as a whale. Epilepsy Yields to X-Ray. Thursday's New York Herald reported that the hitherto incurable disease of epilepsy was being treated successfully by use of the X-Rays at the post graduate hospital. The case is that of 16 years old Elsie Winkler in charge of Dr. J. H. Branth. New Fire Fighting Mask A Paris inventor has brought out a fireman's mask which has a reservoir of compressed air conveyed to the mouth by tubes behind a visor of mica protected by wire. Trolley Cars' Speed Record At the trials Monday of the electric cars on the Marienfield military road, Germany, a speed if 114 miles an hour was maintained for two miles. GENERAL POLITICAL Clarkson in Hanna's Place. Early in the week it was reported that in a letter to a New York friend Senator Hanna had declared he could not accept again next year the chairmanship of the republican national committee as his health would not permit it. Senator Quay on being told of this decision said that he, too, was too old to undertake the management of the campaign. J. S. Clarkson, the republican Iowa veteran, now surveyor of the port of New York, is thought to be Mr. Hanna's most likely successor. Anarchy Threatens Toledo. On Tuesday the wife of every member of the city council of Toledo, Ohio, received an anonymous letter warning her to influence her husband to sustain the veto of the mayor that evening on the franchise question. It said that if no action was taken that night, the people's anger would know no bounds and the lives of councilmen would be in danger, as they were known to have sold their votes to the Traction company. Booker Washington Assailed An attempt was made in the Alabama legislature to undermine the famous Tuskegee institute by withholding its annual appropriation. Booker Washington and his school were bitterly assailed in the debate which took place, but the measure went through and $3,500 was also appropriated for a local negro school by a vote of 41 to 39. Wanamaker Libel Victory. John Wanamaker has been acquitted by a Beaver, Pa., jury of the charge of libelling ex-State Printer INDUSTRIAL Trained Editors Wanted. The Associated Press at its annual convention at New York September 18 passed resolutions indorsing the Pulitzer school of journalism, established by Columbia university, recognizing the "demand for more thorough training in the branches of education most necessary to a journalistic career." NEWS OF THE WEEK Robinson in the course of a political speech denouncing the Quay machine which dominates Pennsylvania politically. The case had attained national prominence. To Recognize Negro Delegates Revenue Collector Thompson of Alabama said Tuesday on returning from a conference with President Roosevelt that the president was determined to carry out his plan of recognizing the colored voters in national party organization. COMMERCIAL Lake Superior Co. Failure. The directors of the Consolidated Lake Superior company met at New York Tuesday, to make one final effort to pay off a collateral note for $5,050,000, held by the Speyer & Co. syndicate. Failing in this, the directors of the $117,000,000 corporation, with valuable iron and coal lands and a $30,000,000 plant at Saulte Ste. Marle, Wis., formally gave notice that they were without funds and would have to be sold out by the holders of the note. At Saulte Ste. Marle, where 3,500 men have been thrown out of employment by the shutting down of the works, serious trouble is feared as the lumbermen and miners come in clamoring for back pay, the company's checks being goor for nothing at present. A large number of deputies were sworn in. Secretary Canborn said that the company would do what it could to provide places for the men to stay in. The refusal of the stockholders to come to the aid of the Consolidated shows the deep distrust which the company's methods have aroused. It was the old story of buying in smaller companies and forming the whole into a great trust with inflated capital. Philadelphia investors are the chief mourners. Farmers in Convention. The Farmers' International congress met at Niagara Falls with 300 delegates present, representing thirty-eight states. In his address on "The Sugar Supply of the United States," Major Purse of Savannah, Ga., said that the congress should oppose a reciprocity treaty with Cuba unless such a treaty is to be made with France and other countries. It was the general opinion of the farmers that this country should become a sugar exporting instead of an importing country, by fostering both cane and beet sugar growing. Secretary Cortelyou made address, explaining the purpose and intents of the new department of commerce and labor, of which he is the head. China's New Money System. Chairman Hugh Hanna of the monetary commission, sent to Europe to confer with the powers on the subject of a new monetary system for China and other silver using countries, returned to Indianapolis Monday. The general object, he said, was attained, greater stability in the cost of bills of exchange that may be sold to Chinese importers for settlement of their outside purchases. Prof. Jenks of Cornell university will soon go to China to take up the plan with the Chinese officials. Agriculture for Teachers. A new and practical feature of the nature study work of the Teachers' college at Columbia is a garden and agricultural laboratory. Dean Russell believes that nature teaching without a practical knowledge of agriculture and horticulture is of doubtful value. The ability to make a plant grow and to know why it grows are quite as significant as to know what it is and how to classify it. For Uniform Rubber Tires. The leading rubber manufacturers have agreed to dictate to automobile makers the sizes of tires and rims. The deal is in the form of an agreement not to guarantee tires unless fitted to certain rims of certain sizes. It is believed to be a move in the interest of the consumer. Southern Mechanical School. The second mechanical training school in the south is about to be built at Jackson, Tenn., the other being at Louisville, Ky. Parks' Faction Sustained. Parks' Faction Sustained. The convention of International ironworkers at Kansas City, Mo., decided Wednesday to seat the delegates of the New York Housesmiths' Union headed by Sam Parks, notwithstanding that this union had been ruled out of the association by President Buchanan. President Neidig of the New York union was barred. Parks declared it was the proudest moment of his life and that now he would begin to do things. RELIGIOUS Wright on Practical Religion. Wright on Practical Religion. Carroll D. Wright, president of the Unitarian conference, addressed that body at Atlantic City on Tuesday on the growth of practical religion. He said that the surest temperance reform at the present time was the fact that men who use liquor cannot get employment on our great railroads. Labor unions were in the right direction, because their principles were based on the rights of all men and sooner or later their actions would conform to their principles. Finally he said there was a new patriotism which means personal sacrifice and social service, and is higher than that of the battlefield. The increasing demand in publicity in all affairs was also a sign of hope. Religion had reformed charity in the direction of university settlements. SALVATION CAVALRY Successful. At Jackson, Ky., right in front of the court house where Marcum was assassinated and at other points in Kentucky and Tennessee made famous by the feud battles of the past, the band of Salvation Army workers on horse back, headed by Col. Holz of Cleveland, have held their revival meetings, greeted by curious and earnest throngs of people. Many of the lawless element attended and some were converted. Over the mountain trails the cavalcade passes with occasional stops to sing and pray at farm-house meetings. At some points permanent "barracks" are to be established. Advertising for Preachers. President Gladden of the Pittsburg conference and the Methodist Protestant church, has inserted in the Methodist Recorder an advertisement for pastors for circuit work. Some of the conditions mentioned are: Small family, ability to furnish a house, not afraid to work, no hobbies, no place hunting, sound doctrine, not over 50, salary $400 to $500, clear head, warm heart, big feet, planted on the ground of common sense. Non-Conformists Recognized: The Archbishop of Canterbury, in opening some new church schools at Dover, said that parents had the right to demand teaching free from the Anglican influence if proper provision were made and that at least one nonconformist teacher should be employed in every department. Cardinal Vaughan's Successor It has been announced that Bishop Bourne of Southwark is to be the successor of the late Cardinal Vaughan as the Roman Catholic archbishop of Westminster. Bishop Bourne is only 42 years old and is known as an energetic organizer. SOCIOLOGICAL Every Lyncher a Murderer. Every Lyncher a Murderer. Chief Justice Lore of Delaware in his charge to the grand jury at Wilmington, Monday, in connection with the lynching of the negro, White, for the murder of Helen Bishop, June 15, said that lynching was a crime against the law of both God and man and that "every responsible participant in such an act is a wilful murder." He declared that no man had a right to commit this crime because he feared some other person would fail in the performance of his duty. He concluded that this bold generalization which has commanded the attention of the whole country that "lynching and mob law should receive no favor at the hands of patriotic men. There must be government or no government. The line of cleavage is clear. All history teaches that the prevalence of mob law is the end of free government." Too Much Strenuous Life. Prof. Goldwin Smith, the distinguished Canadian scholar, asks in the current Independent if President Roosevelt's constant preaching of the strenuous life may not indirectly and unconsciously contribute to the prevailing reign of violence in connection with the race issue. Mr. Smith says that the present spirit of violence abroad in the world of which jungism is the international phrase, presents a strange and disappointing contrast to the spirit of philanthropy, international unity and peace which seemed NISCELLANEOUS Death Sentence for Jett. After two weeks' trial at Cynthiana, Ky., Curtis Jett was convicted of the murder of Town Marshal Cockrill at Jackson and the death penalty was fixed. The case will be appealed. This is the same Jett who recently was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Marcum. RELIGIOUS SCIENTIFIC EDUCATIONAL to prevail two or three generations ago. Grover Cleveland, former president of the United States, in an essay for the Saturday Evening Post, says that the trusts are seeking to control or strangle the small business interests and occupations, which formerly created the healthy, robust independence which was the great characteristic of the rural districts. He thinks that the purity of our suffrage is seriously threatened by the insidious power of commercial monopoly in the league with political bosses, who easily enlist in their service the influential rural citizens by the promise of partisan benefits. Farm Bearing for Children A paper read by Mrs. J. H. McDonald before the W. C. T. U. at Tacoma, dealing with the question of race suicide, has been widely quoted in the press. She suggests that the tendencies toward race suicide in the cities will make for the betterment of the race. She insists that a city is not a suitable place to raise children and that every child should have the advantage of being reared in the country. Lynching the Only Remedy. Bishop Brown of the Episcopal church in Arkansas, while on his way to attend the missionary council at Washington, said in an interview that while he used to look with horror on lynching, he had found since living in the South that no other remedy was adequate to suppress the crime for which the South has fixed this punishment. He believes the enfranchisement of the negro was a serious mistake. EXECUTIVE Gunner Treanor's Record In the recent naval target practice off Martha's Vineyard, the gunners of the battleship Indiana ranked first for six and eight-inch guns and the long distance target record of the world was beaten by H. W. Treanor, one of the Indiana's men, by sending four eight-inch shots one after the other into the bull's-eye at a distance of 1,600 yards while the Indiana was steaming at eight knots an hour and all within two minutes and eighteen seconds. Prior to that day Treanor had been regarded as only a novice in gunnery, having been a pointer since last January. In this practice the target is a frame of white 16x21 feet set up on a buoy with black bull's eye four feet in diameter. The officers and crew cheered Treanor's feat to the echo. Meaning of Army Desertion. Maj. Gen. MacArthur, commander of the department of California, reports 1,344 desertions during the past year and raises the question of the danger to the public ideals of military service if some way is not found to check this tendency in the army. He does not attribute the increase in desertion to the absence of the canteen, as do most of the other department commanders. Government Surveyors Ousted. Surveyor General Hugh M. Price of Arizona has been removed and W. E. Murphy, his chief clerk, has been suspended for exacting illegal fees in payment for hastening the issue of survey patents to the owners of land claims. It is alleged that the surveys were unnecessarily delayed in order that these fees might be obtained. A New Horse Book Ready. The department of agriculture announced that a new edition of the "Special Report on Diseases of the Horse" is about ready for delivery to members of congress, an edition of 200,000 being on the press. The number already used of this monumental work was nearly 500,000 copies. Census of the Philippines. The preliminary report of the Philippine census shows that the total population of the islands is 6,976,574, including 650,000 members of wild tribes. The most populous province is Sebu, with 651,621. The Manila province has 315,941 and Cavita, near by, 134,48. Carrie Nation's Charities. Mrs. Carrie Nation, the hatchet saloon smasher of Kansas, arrived at New York on Tuesday and signed a deed conveying a house and lot in Kansas City, Kan., to the Associated Charities of that place, to be maintained as "The Carrie Nation Home for Drunkard's Wives." She said that this was but the first of a series of such houses to be established in different cities. British Ports Again Open to New England Live Stock Shipments. Washington special. — Secretary Wilson says that the receipt through the state department of an official notice that Great Britain had removed its embargo on cattle and sheep from the New England ports was the conclusion of the great work in which the department had been engaged since Dec. 1 for the eradication of foot and mouth disease from the New England states and the restoration of the traffic to the condition it was in before this outbreak occurred. (The secretary regards this as one of the most important and valuable pieces of work the department has done for American agriculture. He says: "No country before has succeeded in stamping out such an extensive outbreak of this disease. The work was accomplished under great difficulties. The weather in New England last December was very inclement, and the inspectors and their assistants were obliged to work in open country, with the thermometer far below zero. Some of the men had their extremities frozen and were disabled. Notwithstanding these obstacles the work went forward constantly and rapidly. It is difficult even at this time to understand how the pits were dug in the frozen ground for burying the carcasses, and how the disinfectants were applied when everything of a liquid nature became frozen in a short time after it was exposed to the atmosphere. But the work was so thorough that in not a single case where the disinfection was conducted by the department's representative did the disease reoccur when free cattle were introduced. TWENTY-ROUND FIGHT Eddie Hanlon Gets the Decision Ow Bennie Yanger. (San Francisco special.)—Eddie Hanlon of this city received the decision over Benny Yanger of Chicago, after 20 rounds of furious fighting. It was a hard fought battle, in which Hanlon for the first time abandoned his crouch. In the beginning of the sixth round he stood up and fought without his crouch. Prior to that and up to the ninth Yanger had somewhat the better of it on points. He reached Hanlon time and again without a return and Hanlon, on coming in, punished the "slasher" severely with his right. From this time to the 16th Hanlon held his own, this round he knocked Yanger down and seemed to have him at his mercy. By hanging on, however, Yanger landed through the round although Hanlon tried desperately to land a knot out punch. In the last minute of 20th round Yanger was again fled and it looked as if it was a knot when the call of time saved him,ger fought with the greatest grace and proved much the cleverer the two. AUSTRIAN SOCIALISTS Vienna, Oct. 6.—The czar, accompanied by a numerous suite, arrived here today and was met at the railroad station by Emperor Fransis Joseph and the archdukes. The greetings of the monarchs was of the heartiest character. They kissed each other twice. Their majesties were driven to Schoenbrunn castle, the route being line by troops and enormous crowds of people. Vienna, Sept. 30.—A meeting of 2,000 socialists was held last night to protest against the visit of the czar of Russia. Addresses of the most violent character were made. One speaker remarked: "The czar, whose only instruments of civilization are the gallows, the prison and Siberia, comes like a thief, affected by the stigma of his crimes, between a caden of troops." A resolution denouncing the czar's visit as an offense to Russia's liberal population was not allowed to be passed by the official representative The meeting broks up with shouts of "Down with the czar." KILLS WOMAN AND SELF Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 6. — George Worthington Garwood, a wealthy coal broker, aged 65 years, today shot and killed Hilda Vogel, aged 22 years, and then killed himself in a room occupied by the couple at 131 Moultrie street. Jealousy of a rival was the cause of the crime. AUTO BREAKS RECORD Barney Oldfield Drives Machine Below Mile a Minute. Cleveland, O., Oct. 6.—Barney Oldfield went to the Glencille track today to try the new four and one-half inch tires which were lately affixed to his auto, and after a few warming up miles drove five miles in 4:49 2-5. This world's record is 4:54. His time by miles was 0:58, 0:58, 0:57 2-5, 0:58. An Arkansas Planter By OPIE READ Printed by Permission and Copyright 1896 by Rand, McNally & Co. Chicago CHAPTER XIX (Continued) And thus they passed the day, with strolling about, halting to look at an old tiled roof, a broken iron gate, a wrought iron balcony, a small-covered garden wall; and when evening was come they went to a hotel to rest; but no sooner had night fallen than they went out again to resume heir walk. "Look here," said Tom, beginning to lag, "I don't want to kick, but I'd just like to know why I am fool enough to walk all day like a mule on a tread mill?" "You said you'd walk with me." "Said I would! Haven't I?" "Yes," the giant drawled, "in a mag- ner." "If I haven't walked I don't know what you call walking. You have made a machine of me, a corn-planter. Would you mind telling me where we are going now?" "I confess I don't know," the giant answered. "Then let us look around and find out. Right now I'd rather be in old Gid's house, sitting with somebody on a bench—and I'm going back tomorrow. What fun is there poking about this way like a couple of gawks? You even pull me away from the supper table to tramp up and down these streets. Hang it. I don't want to see people. Every face I see is—" "A disappointment," said the giant. "Then why do you take the crowded side of the street? Let's go in here and sit down a moment." They had halted in front of a music hall. From within proceeded the husky song of a worn-out negro minstrel. "You may go in but I'll walk on," Jim replied. "It's nothing but a dive. I'll go on down to the corner and wait for you. Don't stay long." Jim strode away and Tom went into the beer hall. At the far end was a stage, and on it stood the minstrel, dimmed by intervening tobacco smoke. The floor was covered with damp sawdust. The place was thronged with a motley crowd, sailors, gamblers, with here and there a sprinkle of wayward respectability. Painted girls attended the tables and everywhere was the slopping of beer and the stench of the cigarette. Tom was about to turn away when the sight of a company gathered about a table halted him; and through the smoke his vision leaped and rested upon—Louise. There was a rush, an over-turning of a table, the toppling over of a tipsy man, and Tom stood confronting her. In a loud voice he cried: "What the devil are you doing here?" She got up and held out her hand, but resentment entered her mind and she drew it back. "What are you doing here?" she replied. "Ive as much right here as you have." "I'll show you about that!" he roared, his anger lifting his voice high above the grumble and the sharp clack of the place. "I'll drag you out!" Beside her sat a solemnly-respectable man, and he got up and quietly said: "Your language is most insulting, sir." Tom did not wait to weigh the remark; indeed he did not hear it, for like a bull dog in a fury he lunged at the quiet man's throat, laid hold of his collar, shoved him off to arm's length, and struck him, but the blow glanced and the man jerked away. And then amid loud cries, the over-turning of tables and the smashing of glasses, the furious youngster felt himself seized by many hands. But he was a tiger and they could not bear him to the floor. He broke loose and sprawled one man upon the saw-dust. Others rushed upon him and again he was in a tangle and a tug, but he tore himself from their hands, got a square blow at the proprietor of the house and knock- Frank James in Court. There is some good in Frank James after all. He has sued a theatrical manager for exploiting him as a stage robber and the people who have seen that stirring drama, "The James Boys," will share in Mr. James' resentment.

For a moment he was free, and this moment was not left unimproved. From an up-turned table he wrenched a leg, and swinging it above his head he cleared his way to a side door, and snatching it open, he sprung out into a small court, just as the police were entering at the front of the house. In the court a dim light was burning; at the end, but a few yards away, was a rusty iron ga-te, and whether or not it was locked he never knew, for throwing down his weapon he laid hold of a bar and with a jerk he tore the gate from its rusten hinges, threw it against a wall and was out in the street. Now he ran through an open space, into another street, and then he walked, panting looking back. It must have been difficult to explain the cause of the disturbance for the police had not followed him. He halted under a lamp hung above a narrow doorway. His hat was TOM STRUCK gone, his coat was torn, and the bosom of his shirt was in shreds. The short street was deserted, but he fancied he heard footsteps, and quickly he walked to a corner, and turning, saw Jim standing under a lamp-post not far away. The giant was not looking toward him, and not hearing his easy approach, did not turn his head until Tom was almost within the shade-rim of the lamp "Why, what the deuce have you been doing?" the giant cried, reaching him at a stride. "You look a drowned rat, and your neck is clawed. What have you been doing?" "Row," the boy panted. "In that place? Come back and we'll clean it out. Come on." "No," said Tom. "let's get away from here. I've got something to tell you. Let's circle round here somewhere and get a hat. I'll tell you when we get back to the hotel, and you won't care to walk any more tonight after I've told you." Jim might have been burning to know more, but he said nothing, for dogged patience was a part of his heroism. He took the boy's arm and led him away, to a place where a hat was bought and thence to the hotel; and not until they were shut in a room did Tom attempt to tell his story. And it was even then some minutes before he could proceed. His anger was gone and sorrow was upon him. Several times he choked. And then he told his story. With hard steps the giant walked about the room, saying not a word; but he drooped as he hailed at the window, and as he stood SCIENCE AN The British army under the new scheme requires 50,000 recruits annually. According to the director general's report only 68,000 are examined annually, and of these about 23,500 are rejected, giving a deficiency of 5,000 per ahnum, which England hopes to make up by colonial assistance. and don't you even hint it to him, and don't you tell Sallie. Don't tell any one but your mother. Do you hear?" "Yes, and I reckon you're right. I do as you tell me. Well, it's time and I'm going." Jim went with him to the leeve, saw him on a boat and then resumed his search throughout the town. But he asked no questions; and three days later when he went aboard the home-bound boat, he knew no more than he had known the night when the boy had told his story. The night was rainy and a fierce wind was blowing. The Major and his wife were by the fire in the sitting-room, when there came a heavy tread upon the porch, but the knock that fell upon the door was gentle. They knew who had come, and the door was opened for Jim Taylor. Quietly he responded to their greeting, and with both hands he took off his slouch hat, went to the fireplace and over the blaze shook it. "Put myself in mind of a wet dog," he said. "Didn't think to shake outside. How are you all getting along?" He was looking at Mrs. Cranceford, but the Major answered him. "In the same old way. Tilt that cat out of the rocking-chair and sit down." "Have you heard of the death of Mrs. Wash Sanders?" Mrs. Cranceford asked, fearing that the Major might get ahead of her with this piece of news, but all along determined that he should not. "No, I haven't," he said; but his want of surprise was not satisfying, and Mrs. Cranceford said: "I mean Mrs. Wash Sanders." "Yes, I know; but this is the first I've heard of it. I came from the boat right up here. So the pood woman's dead? She never knew anything but hard work. How long was she sick? Shouldn't think she could take time to be sick long poor soul." "She was not in bed more than two days. It was awful, the way she suffered. And all the time Wash was whining that he couldn't eat anything, as if anybody cared. I never was so provoked at a man in my life. I'd like to know who cares whether he cats another bite or not. Actually, I believe he thought the neighbors had come to sympathize with him instead of to nurse his wife. And when she was dead he went about blubbering that he couldn't live but a few days." "He'll outlive us all," said the Major. "He told us yesterday that he was threatened with convulsions, and Gid swore that a convulsion was the last thing he ought to fear, that he was too lazy to entertain such an exertion." In this talk Jim felt not even the slightest interest. He wanted to talk about Louise. But not in Mrs. Cranceford's manner nor in her eyes when she looked straight at him was there a hint that Tom had told her that girl had been seen. Perhaps the boy had decided to elect him to this unviable office. The Major asked him about his trip, but he answered as if he cared not what he said; but when shortly afterward the Major went out, Taylor's unconcern fell from him and he stood up and in tremulous anxiousness looked at Mrs. Cranceford, expecting her to say something. Surely Tom had told her nothing, for she quietly smiled at him as he stood there, awkwardly and distressfully fumbling with himself. looking out upon the glimmering lights far below. "You said I wouldn't want to walk tonight, but I must," he spoke, and his voice had a smothered sound. "I am going out to look for her. And now you know why I have been walking all day, gazing at the faces in the crowd." He had turned from the glimmering lights and was looking at Tom. "I traced that letter she wrote, and in my mind I settled that it must have come from this place. But I didn't tell your mother what I suspected; I kept it to myself." "If you go out again I'll go with your Jim." "No, I insist upon going alone." He went out; and when he returned, just before the dawn, he found the boy asleep on a chair. He took him up, put him upon a bed and sat himself down at a window; and when Tom awoke, along toward ten o'clock, the giant wag still sitting there. "Jim." "Well." "How long have you been in?" "Don't know." "You didn't—didn't find—her?" "No. went to the place where you had the fight—wish to the Lord I had been with you—but of course couldn't learn anything. I was—was afraid to ask about her. But I tramped around all night, and I went into all sorts of places, looking for her, and all the time afraid that I might find her. God, what am I talking about! Afraid of finding her! Why, she couldn't be in a place where—where she naughtn't to be." "But she was!" the boy cried, bounding out upon the floor. "She was and—Great God, I can hardly believe it. I don't realize it! I have been so swallowed up that I haven't thought about her much lately—she's crazy, Jim. Oh. she must be. She was the purest-minded girl—" The giant stopped him with an uplifting of his ponderous hand. "Don't say any more. Don't say she was pure-minded. She is pure-minded. I will find her and she shall tell me—" "She can't tell you anything to clear herself. Jim. She's lost—she's crazy." "She's an angel," said the giant. "My dear Jim, she's my sister and I loved her, but angels can't go—" "Don't say it." "I won't, but don't you be foolish. Truth is truth, and we have to look at it whether we want to or not." He walked up and down the room. "Who would have thought that such a thing could happen?" he went on. "It's a dream. But why did she leave home when she knew how much we all loved her? What made her run away from you when she knew how you loved her? Jim, I'm going home today. Are you coming with me?" "No, I'm going to stay here and look for her." "And when you have found her she'll treat you as she did me. She'll say she has as much right there as you have. I don't believe it's any use. Better come home with me." "No, I'm going to look for her, and if she'll marry me I'll bring her home." "Jim, she is my sister, but—I won't say it. I love her, but I would rather have seen her dead than where I saw her last night. I'm going home." "Wait a moment." For a time he pondered and then he said: "You may tell your mother, but don't tell the Major." "But why should it be kept from him? He ought to know it. We'll have to tell hime sometime." "Some time, may be, but not now, For two years the oil consumption of the world has exceeded the production.

When the public stops to compare the several scandals that are now being brought to light in the various governmental departments at the nation's capital with the moral rectitude of the father of his country, for whom the capital was named, it realizes what a sorry difference there is between Washington, D. C., and Washington, deceased—Boston Herald. Very Few People Breathe Properly Very Few People Breathe Properly The Economical Funeral of Lord Salisbury All Sorts of Humor It will probably he news to most patriotic Americans that the United States has never had a national anthem, officially speaking, until Saturday last, when the navy department issued an order declaring "The Star Spangled Banner" to be the national anthem and directing, whenever that composition is played, all officers and men shall stand at attention unless they are engaged in duty that will not permit them to do so. As to the good taste displayed in selecting "The Star Spangled Banner" there will be a variety of opinions. The navy department had quite a stock of so-called "national" tunes to choose from, but this did not make selection any easier, for the reason that some of them have only a local application, and most of the others are not "national." There is "America," for instance, a melody of English origin, already doing duty as an English national hymn, set to some rather commonplace lines by the Rev Samuel F. Smith. There is "Yankee Doodle," of which both words and tune are guesswork so far as origin is concerned, though neither is American. There is "Hail Columbia," which comes the nearest of all to being a national anthem, as its melody is the president's march, composed in 1789, and its words were written by Joseph Hopkinson in 1798 when war with France was expected. It is noteworthy that "Hail Columbia" has always been selected by foreign nations when they wish to salute this country. The melody, however, is thin and commonplace and was worn out long ago. There is "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," but that is English and is known over there as "Britannia, the Pride of the Ocean." There are others which only apply to a certain "Do you know how to breathe?" asked a dpspeptic-looking man of his companion, whose full, florid face denoted a jolly nature. "In fact, I should ask how long it has been since you drew your breath." The fat-faced man moved nervously and cast a suspicious glance at his friend. He was about to reply with a suggestion that another "bracer" might decide the point, when he was interrupted again. "The truth is, you haven't breathed in weeks, perhaps months, and I can prove it. Don't be alarmed, I do not intend to hold an autopsy on you, and the coroner will not be called in to furnish evidence of what I say. Breathing is something that very few people do. It is not a universal habit. Less than 5 per cent of people breathe as they should. Even a larger per cent of tomato plants or oak trees breathe in the way that they should than men. You may demonstrate this fact to yourself. All that is necessary is to carry out a few simple suggestions which I will make, and consider well the indications which will be presented after you have made the experiment. Breath is life. The delicate organs and still more delicate muscles which are involved in breathing require action as much as do the biceps or triceps. Lie on your back for 30 days and observe how weak the muscles of the legs and body become. So wea were the instructions of the late Lord Salisbury carried out that the cost of his funeral was about $70—$30 less than the maximum limit fixed by the statesman for the obsequies. The British press, commenting on the fact, recalls the funeral of the late duke of Westminster, which entailed an expenditure of $35. A $25 funeral would be a luxury only possible to the family of the richest man in England, yet the great amount of attention attracted by the Salisbury funeral is likely to have a good influence in curbing the tendency among the very people who can least afford it to indulge in lavish expenditure in the post mortem honors they bestow on their dead. Common sense has done much to restrain the senseless pomp and display that was once considered secessary to the proper burial of a man who, perhaps, never had the second shirt to his back in life. The pomp and panoply of woe meant something more than a figure of speech to the unhappy survivors who rushed recklessly His Unselfishness. "Tommy," said Mrs. Tucker, "your teacher says you haven't been at the head of your class a single day since school egan. Why is that?" "I'm no end seat hog, maw," replied Tommy, with spirit.—Chicago Tribune. event or period, such as "Dixie," which is thoroughly American, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," "John Brown's Body," "The Battle Cry of Freedom" (which has been made a national anthem by Japan), and "Marching Through Georgia." All of these have been ruled out and "The Star Spangled Banner" selected, though its melody is English and its antecedents are most undignified. its melody is that of a drinking song, "To Anacreon in Heaven," and was a favorite with a bacchanalian crew which used to meet at the Crown and Anchor in London between 1770 and 1775. Then, set to other words, it did duty in Masonic lodges. Soon it traveled across the water and its first patriotic setting was made by Robert Treat Paine in 1798 to words entitled "Adams and Liberty." We next find it illustrating another campaign song, "Jefferson and Liberty," and in 1814 Francis Scott Key set the present words to it on the eve of the bombardment of Fort McHenry. It is fortunate that the sailors of the navy are not obliged to sing it. It is much easier for the bands to play it. It was not difficult for roisterers to catch its abrupt intervals or to execute its singular flights and closing outburst when under the influence of wine or spirits at the Crown and Anchor, but it is a serious business for a patriot to get through it with a serene face. That we should have to take this old drinking song for a national anthem illustrates the poverty of our musical invention as compared with other nations. Better, however, a national anthem which is not national than none.—Chicago Tribune. A man's best friends are often those who leave him the most alone. Breathe Properly "They would be shrunken and fabby and entirely too weak to carry your weight. They would be impoverished. Think not, then, that the more delicate and sensitive organs and muscles of the inner-man do not need exercise. This is given them by breathing. Now, take a man who has not exercised his biceps or triceps for several weeks and let him do so for the space of three minutes. Then observe how exhausted he feels. It is because the muscles are not used to such violent action. In the same way let a man start a violent respiratory motion and continue it for three minutes. You will see the most perfect picture of that tired feeling that you could imagine. That will be proof enough that the person who is thus rendered tired is not accustomed to breathing. The proof of the pudding is in the chawing of the bag, as the old saw says. Just try this plan once. Breathe heavily and deeply for two minutes on rising in the morning and see what a feeling of exhaustion will be experienced. Then you will understand that very few people breathe as they should and that much of sickness is due to this fact. Catch your breath, my friend, and you will profit by it. You'll soon admit that there's a great deal in breathing," and the dyspeptic swallowed all the ozone he could gulp down at one time.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. General of Lord Salisbury into useless expense to provide an elaborate funeral for the dead member of the family. In this disposition to spend money and credit, the survivors were moved in some measure by a desire to show proper respect for their dead, but what moved them generally was a desire to have their envious friends admit that the funeral was all that money and credit could make it. The trappings of woe are expensive and it is quite worth the while of leaders in thought to deprecate the custom of elaborate funerals. If a duke can get along comfortably a $35 funeral there is no reason why the late John Smith should be buried at an expense involving the mortgaging of the family home.—St. Paul Gloose.

THE disgraceful affair reported to have occurred at Russellville, last Sunday night, in which a minister and one of the citizen's wives were involved, is probably one out of ten of the many such cases actually discovered and made known to the public. And what can be more shocking, and what can tend to infest a community with immorality more than to have it made known, that a minister who above all others is supposed to be free from immoral practices, is engaging in the most disgraceful and immoral acts. Is it any wonder that people loose interest in church? or can we be surprised that worldly people have less confidence today than ever in those who preach the gospel.

Such a span of active life is inspiring. He was a priest, ordained, when Grover Cleveland was a year old. And one of his latest great interests was in the war that freed Cuba. Pope Leo was the oldest man left in active public life in the world. He was in the rush of his college course when U. S. Grant first saw the light. He had done conspicuous service in the church before Queen Victoria came to her throne. He saw the rise of Lincoln to greatness and mourned the martyred President's fate. He was but 13 years from the Papacy when our Civil war ended and our slaves went free. He saw two republics and an empire in France and watched the war which united all Germany into an empire. He was two years old when we began our second war with Great Britain, and a lad of five when Waterloo was fought. As a young priest he saw Bismarck and Gladstone begin their careers; as Pope, still powerful and active, he saw them retire and die. The career of the man now dead, whose existence covered this span, is not one to be adequately indicated by mere dates and historical records. The story of Leo XIII is that of a life well and purely lived, of high duties faithfully performed, of friends and a church loyally served. Since his birth have come the printing machine, the ocean steamship, the telegraph, the electric light and a host of inventions once wondrous. Within its bounds every battle fought for human freedom was won and religion, science, art and every form of progress in the world made advances unequaled in any other period. Auxvasse Items. Rev. W.

Crops Maturing Nicely. U. S. Department of Agriculture, climate and crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending October 5, 1903. The week just closed averaged considerably warmer than usual throughout the State, but in the central and northern portions there was less than the normal amount of sunshine. Light to moderately heavy showers have fallen in all sections, portions of the eastern and southern sections receiving from 1 to 2 inches. The work has not been as favorable for maturing the late corn as was the week preceeding, but reports indicate that only about one-tenth of the entire crop is now in danger from frost, and that, with few exceptions, it will all be safe in ten days. Very nearly an average crop is indicated. In a few counties but little corn has yet been cut, but as a rule cutting is well advanced and in many counties has been completed. FISTULA-NO MONEY TILL CURED. ESTABLISHED LIBRARY TAXES trees, bus, goods, journals & treasury Cotton, in the extreme southeastern counties, is opening well and picking is progressing favorably, but the crop is much below the average owing to the drouth in August and September. In a few of the western and southern counties wheat sowing has been somewhat retarded by rains, but in a majority of the northern and western counties seeding is well advanced and in many is practically completed. In many of the southeastern and a few of the extreme southwestern counties but little wheat has yet been sown, many having delayed seeding on account of the fly. In portions of the southern sections from one-fourth to one half of the land intended for wheat has not yet been plowed. In a few of the southern counties the soil is too dry for good germination, but over much the greater portion of the State it is in excellent condition and wheat is coming up to good stands. Pastures are quite short in portions of the southern sections, but elsewhere they are in good condition. Potato digging is still in progress, and while an average yield is reported in some localities, the crop as a whole is light. There is very little complaint of potatoes rotting in the ground. Sorghum making continues with very satisfactory returns, as a rule. Reports regarding winter apples indicate that, as a rule, the quality of the fruit is much below the average, although in many localities in the northern and western sections it is reported as fair to good.
