Editor A Train Robber a Mail Clerk=H Robbers Escape Some W A COLORED MAN'S BLO FOR COLORED MEN (Continued From Last Week.) We met Rev. J. T. B. Leban of Balk win, La. enroute home from one of his charges. We had been travelling so long that we thought we were in Texas, but as a matter of fact we were still in Louisiana. We learned more about this part of the Southland. Many colored people are prospering in this section and many of them are well to do. In the o tlying sections though, away from the cities a colored man does not dare display evidences of prosperity. TOO FAST FOR THE COUNTRY The po whites, those who are not successful themselves and who enjoy the success of the Negroes will drive the colored farmer or planter away and either force him to sell out his holdings for a mere song or make him run for his life. Colored men are able to buy automobiles, but they do not dare do so. Should a colored man appear driving an automobile, he would be driven from the neighborhood and the car confiscated. WHITE MEN ARROGANT White men continue to be intimate with colored women and in the worst form. In many instances they live with them openly and rear up large families. Sald one, "A colored man dare not go with some colored women. Should he walk with one of these white men's concubines, a white man is liable to warningly say to him 'I saw you walking with Sal. You must stay away from her.'" This is enough. Should he fail to obey, the colored man is ordered from the neighborhood, and should he then fail to obey, he must take the consequences, which are sure to follow. COLORED PREACHERS MUST OBEY ORDERS A colored preacher does not dare turn out of his church a colored woman who is guilty of living with a white man. Should such a woman be cited to appear before the church for exclusion the white man will see the Negro preacher and say to him something like this, "Parson, I hear that Mary is having some trouble down at your church. Mary is a good girl. If you want help for your church, come and get it, but don't turn Mary out of the church. If you turn her out, take her back again." NOTICES GIVEN This is usually enough. The colored preacher knows what it means. Should he insist on turning the colored woman out, who is guilty of moral conduct, that preacher will be driven out of that neighborhood. If a colored man makes himself obnoxious by talking too much or by using language that is said to incite the colored people, a white man will meet him and tell him that he had better leave. The colored mary will report the case to the sheriff. He will tell the colored man that he can protect him in the day-time, but that he can not be responsible for his safety in the night-time. COLORED PHYSICIANS BARRED OUT. As a rule the colored man leaves on first notice. In many sections colored professional men are not permitted to locate. They do not allow colored physicians to enter. Dr. Lowry, colored is located at Donalds ville, Louisiana, and no other colored physician is permitted to locate there He was reared in that parish and this is a special privilege accorded to him. Colored physicians are located in some sections of Louisiana, but there are many places where it would be as much as their lives are worth should they locate there. COLORED GIRLS AS MOURNERS We had listened to this recital with ever increasing interest. Two colored girls apparently about 18 years of age were seated in the coach with us. They were attired in black. One of them lived in New Orleans. Her name was Miss Violette Farr. She had heard that her mother died in one of the parishes several weeks before and she was going to a small town, where she had friends, to get one of them to either go up in the parish himself or go with her to find out if the report was true and bring the remains to the city. NO ONE INTERFERES She said that where she was going the family was reared by a wealthy white man, a close relative to the Governor of the State. We were surprised. Where does he live? "He lives with these colored people," she said. Do you mean to say that this wealthy white man lives with the colored woman and that he has reared a family by her. The girl answered. "Yes, Oh, he's a Sanders. No one interferes with him. I am going to stop with his daughters." When she reached the town, no one was there to meet her and we waved an adieu as the train pulled out for Texas. A BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY There was a startling report relative to the train that preceded the one out of New Orleans, on which we travelled. When we crossed the river the train crew were discussing the robbery of the night before. We reproduce herewith the statement of the mail clerk. One of these clerks was a colored man: "If you have never looked down the muzzle of a revolver at close range and have never held a sack while a gentlemanly bandit scooped into that sack valuable packages you are sworn to protect, you will never know how I and my four companions felt at Avondale Monday night when the mail car of the Southern Pacific on which we were at work, was robbed," said J. A. St. Germain of 617 Glirard Street yesterday. Mr. Germain has been for thirty-one years an employee of the government in the postal service, and he experienced his first holdup Monday evening at Avondale, just across the river from New Orleans. His home is in New Orleans. "Our train left New Orleans exactly at 9 o'clock, and as soon as we pulled out the boys started to work at once on the mail. I was in charge of the car, and under me were J. A. McNeill and F. Massey, clerks; K. M. Kramel, who was making his first trip for instructions, and G. E. Reeze a substitute clerk. Before pulling out I noticed two men walk around our car towards the engine, but as many passengers do that I did not give the matter a second thought. "We reached Avondale at 10:10 o'clock—on time. On the ferry over our train was broken into three parts With our section were the engine and tender, mail car, express car and one coach. We had just pulled up the inline on this side of the river when I heard the gruff command, 'Hands up!' I thought, of course, some of the men were playing a joke, so I kept on with my writing and assorting. The next moment the cold steel muzzie of a gun was pressed to my neck and I was commanded to throw up my hands or I would surely be shot. I threw them up. Then I glanced about the car and took my bearings. There were but two of the men. TWO BANDITS DESCRIBED "One man was short and stocky, probably 5 feet 4 inches in height and of 165 pounds weight. He was the leader and gave all the commands The other man was tall and thin, of about 5 feet 11 inches in height and of approximately 150 pounds weight. The short man gave his entire attention to me and the tall man took care of my clerks. He ordered them to lie flat on the floor of the car and to roll under the tables. This they did. Both men were clothed in whole piece overalls, of blue material Over the head of each was pulled a hood, of black material, which ex- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1910 NATIONAL THEATRE FINE WHOLE WINE BEER FOOLINSKY'S THE MOCKERY OF HUMAN LIVES Advertising Negro Criminality.

In a discussion with Dr. Graham over his trip recently to the South, we asked him particularly about the homes of some of the distinguished families with which he stopped. In Helena, Ark. he was entertained at dinner by the family of Dr. E. C. Morris, President of the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Morris' family is a most interesting one. Mrs. Morris is a lady of quiet, unassuming, dignified manners. She knows well bow to make it pleasant for her guests.

The Arkansas Baptists love him second to no man on earth; but Dr. Booker, our Pastor says, could not have succeeded so well but for the queenly wife who presides for his home. She is a graduate of Roger Williams University. She is cultured, scholarly and an adept in the art of conversational entertainment. Everything about her home bears the atmosphere of refinement, moral purity and religious intelligence. Mrs. Booker is the niece of our distinguished President E. C.

For several months, the bank has been taking advantage of the safety clause providing for from thirty to ninety days notice prior to the withdrawal of time deposits and this was taken by some to indicate a panicky condition in that neighborhood. The Bureau of Insurance, Hon. Joseph Button, Commissioner had adopted a policy which precluded the idea of insurance concerns and fraternal orders from running banks or operating other business and where it had been done they were notified that they should change their methods of management and separate such concerns from the Order. The Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, U. O. True Reformers had arranged to do this by calling a meeting November 30, 1910 of the stockholders for the election of officers. The serious part about the affair is shown by the fact that the examination by the State Bank Examiners shows that the bank has been insolvent, that is unable to meet its obligations for some time. As a result, the bank's officials are liable to be indicted for a felony, as the laws of this State make it a penitentiary offense for a bank to receive funds on deposit when it is insolvent, that is, unable to meet its obligations. It seems that the colored depositors will lose but little if any money, if the sworn statements are to be --- accredited. The bank had ($290,468.34) two hundred and ninety thousand, four hundred and sixty-eight dollars and thirty-four cents on deposit and of this amount two hundred and seventy-four thousand, belonged to the Grand Fountain, U. O. True Reformers. This shows that the actual amount of money on deposit by individuals was only ($16,468.34) sixteen thousand, four hundred and sixty-eight dollars and thirty-four cents. It will be readily seen then that the bulk of the money of the colored people of this city was not deposited with that institution. If the Chaneyer Court takes the position that the Grand Fountain, U. O. True Reformers is the owner of the Savings Bank, then the loss will fall on the Grand Fountain and the assets will not be divided for the benefit of the Order, but for the benefit of the depositors who it would seem could easily be paid the sixteen thousand dollars which they had on deposit there. The following report in full from the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch of October 27, 1910 will explain itself and prove spicy reading to those interested in the affairs of the order. AN INTERESTING REPORT No event might have befallen the colored race in America could have produced a more profound shock or could be more far-reaching in its effects than the suspension of the license of the Grand Fountain, U. O. of True Reformers, which was done yesterday afternoon by the Bureau of Insurance of Virginia. The True Reformers is at once the largest, the most prominent, and has hitherto been regarded as the most successful of all the colored secret societies in the world, around whose existence so much of the activity of the race centres. This big financial and fraternal organization was brought to its fall by the crash of the Savings Bank of True Reformers, an allied institution, which yesterday applied for a receiver in the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond. The crisis was forced by an order issued on Tuesday by the Bureau of Insurance requiring the True Reformers' officers to appear this morning at 10 o'clock to show cause why its license to do business should not be revoked. TIES UP BUSINESS The suspension of the license is absolute. The order, as issued yesterday by Deputy Insurance Commissioner J. N. Brenaman, sets forth that action is taken "on account of the gross mismanagement, if not criminal negligence, of its present and former management in safeguarding its funds." All fees and dues of applicants initiated after this date are to be returned immediately. No applications for beneficial membership in any (Continued On Eighth Page.) The Mechanics' Savings Bank Buys More Property. The Mechanics' Savings Bank of Richmond, Va. is now in better financial condition than it has been at any time since its existence. It has not experienced any uneasiness as a result of the failure of one of its contemporaries and stands ready to meet any and all obligations. It keeps a reserve on hand just for that purpose. President John Mitchell, Jr. completed the purchase of the property on the south-east corner of First and Clay Streets. It consists of two new modern brick houses, 100 and 100½ E. Clay Street and a frame house, 102 E. Clay Street. The price agreed upon was $12,000 twelve thousand dollars. The houses have a frontage of about 100 feet. The Bank has just sold the house at 611 N.

The Silver Horde By REX BEACH Author of "The Spoilers" and "The Barrier" COPYRIGHT. 1809. BY CHAPTER XV. THE main body of salmon struck into the Kalirk river on the first day of July. For a week past the run had been slowly growing while the cameras tested themselves, but on the openings day of the new month the horde issued boldly forth from the depths of the sea, and the battle began in earnest. At times they swam with clawing fins exposed. Again they churned the placid waters until swift combers raced across the shallow bars like tidal waves, while the deeper channels were shot through with shadow forms or pierced by the lightning glint of oil. They were driven in with the food tide to retreat again with the ebb, but there was neither haste nor caution in their progress. They had come in answer to the breeding call of the sea, and its exultation was upon them, driving them relentlessly onward. They had no voice against its overmarching smell. The time had come for man to take his toll. At Emerson's cannery there fell a sudden panic, for fifty fishermen coll. Returning from the banks on the night before the run started, they stacked their gear and notified Boyd Emerson of their determination. Then, despite his utmost efforts to dissuade them, they took their packs upon their shoulders and marched up the beach to Willis Marsh's plant. Larson, the day foreman, acted as their spokesman, and Boyd recognized too late the result of that conversation he had interrupted on the night of the cherry. This defection diminished his boat crew by more than half, and, while the shoremen mostly maintained their loyalty, the choice of putting up a pack secured him. Boyd swallowed his pride and went straightway to his enemy. He found Marsh well recovered from his flesh wound of a week or more before, yet extremely cautious for his safety, as he evidenced by conducting the interview before witnesses. "We are short handed, and I gave instructions to secure every available man," he announced at the conclusion of Emerson's story. "It is not my fault if your-men prefer to work for me." "Then you force me to retaliate," said Boyd. "I shall hire your men out from under you." Marsh laughed provokingly "Try it! I am a good organizer, if nothing else. If you send emissaries to my plants it will cause certain violence, and I think you had better avoid that, for we outnumber you ten to one." Emerson left in disgust. Nor had he hit upon any method of relief when Cherry came down to the plant on the following morning. She inquired straightway "What are you doing about it? You can't afford to lose an hour." "I have sent a man to each of the other plants to birefrain at any price, but I have no hope that they will succeed. Marsh has his crews too well in hand for that." Cherry nodded. "They wouldn't do them now. He'd never let them return to this country if they did. Meanwhile the rest of your force is on the banks, I presume." "Yes." "How many bons have you?" "Ten." "Heavenal And this is the first day of the run! It looks bad, doesn't it? Has the trap been to fill?" "No. George is down there now. I guess Marsh succeeded in corking it. Meanwhile all the other plants are working while my Chinks are playing fantan. I seem to bring misfortune upon every one connected with me, don't it? he added. "I'm afraid I'm a poor sort." How boyish he was, the girl thought tenderly, yet how splendidly brave he had been throughout the fight. There was a voiceless, maternal yearning in her heart as she asked him gravely: "If you fall now it will mean—the end of everything, will it not?" "Yes." He squared his tired shoulders. "But I am not beaten yet. You taught me, never to give up, Cherry. If I have to go back home without a catch and see Hilliard take this plant over, why—I'll begin once at something now, and some day I will succeed. But I shall give up. I can what ain'toin we catch and then begin all over again next season." "And--suppose you don't succeed!" Suppose Hilliard won't carry you!" "Then I shall try something else. Maybe I shall go to mining again. I don't know. Anyhow, she would not let me grow disheartened if she were here. She wouldn't let me quit. She isn't that sort." Cherry Mollette stirred and shifted her gaze uncertainly to the glenning bay. Abremont of them the fleet of fishing boats were drifting, with the tide. In the distance others were dotted clear away to where the opal ocean lay. A tug was passing, and she saw the sun flash from the cargo in its tow, while the faint echo of a song came waking to her car. She stood so for a long moment, fighting manfully with herself, then wheeled upon him suddenly. There was a new tone in her voice as she said: "If you will let me have one, of your launches I may be able to help you." "How?" he demanded quickly. "Never mind how. It's a long chance and hardly worth trying, but--may I take the boat!" " Certainly," said ba.

It was the first time in many weeks that he had seen this mood in Boyd, and after a fruitless effort to make him talk he fell into his old habit of imaginary reading, drowning away to himself as if from a printed page: "Your stay among us has not been very pleasant, but it? Mr. Emerson inquired. "Not so that you could notice it, replied our hero, 'I don't like fish, and I never did." "That is the result of prejudice; the fish is a noble animal," Mr. Emerson declared. "He's not an animal at all," our her gently corrected. "He's a biped—a regular wild biped, without either love of home or affection for his children. The salmon is of a low order of intelligence and has it Queen Anne stint to his roof. No person with a retracting forehead like that knows very much. The only other member of the animal kingdom that is as foolish as the salmon is Alton Clyde. The fish has got a shade the best of it over him, but as for friendship and the gentler emotions—why, the salmon hasn't got them at all. The only thing he's got is a million eggs and a sense of direction. If he had a spark of intelligence he'd lay one egg a year, like a been, and thus live for a million years. But does he? Not on your Sarony! He's a spendthrift and turns his eggs loose a hatful at a time. He's worse than a shotgun. And then, too, he's as clampon as a Harvard graduate and don't associate with nobody out of his own set. No, sr! Give me a warm blooded animal that suckles its young. I'll take a farmer every time." "These are points I had never considered," said Mr Emerson, "but every business has its drawings, you'll agree. If I have failed as a host, what can I do to entertain you while you grace our midst? "You can do most anything," remarked his handsome companion. You can climb a tree or do anything except fish all the time. "But it is a dark night without, and I fear some mischief is afoot. "True! But yonder 'beauthecous gel'" Roused by the familiarity of these lines, Emerson looked up from his occupation and smiled at Fraser's serious pantomime. "What about that the beauteous gel and the mischief that is afoot?" Oh, I heard all about your trouble it just left the posthouse." Oh, he said." The posthouse-Clyde's joint. Ain't he a calamity?" "In what way?" "Well, I like silence and quietude. I'm a fool about my quiet, but Clyde"—He paused an if in search for suitable expression. "Well, whenever I try to say anything he interrupts me." After another pause he went on: "He's dead sore on this place, too, and whirns around like a litter of pups. He says he was mised into coiling up hero and has a lunch he's going to lose his bank roll." "Last night's episode frightened him, I daro say." "Yes. Ever since he got that wallop on the burr in Seattle a guinea pig could lick him hand to hand. You'd think that ten thou' he put up was all the wealth of the inkers." "The wealth of what?" "Inkern! That's a tribe of mexican. However, I suppose I'd hang in there, same as he does if He had a mayonnaise head like his. He an awful since as a business man." "So he's homecick. eb?" "Surel Offered to sell me his stock." Fraser throw back his head and gave vent to one of his rare laughs. "Ain't that a rure?" "Here he comes now," Boyd announced, with a glance out the window, and the next instant Alton Clyde entered, a picture of dejection. "Goal. This is fierce, isn't it?" the clubman began, finging bliss into the nearest chair. "They tell me it's all off finally. What are you going to do?" "Put up what fish I can with a short crew," said Boyd. "We'll lose a lot of money." "Probably." Clyde's tone was querulous as he continued: "I'm-sorry. I ever went into this thing. You bet if I had known as much in Chicago as I know now I wished I had thing on to my money and stayed at home." "You know as much as we did," Boyd declared curly. "Oh, it's all right for you to talk. You haven't taken any coin in the deal, but I'm a rotten business man, and I'll never make my auto back again if I lose it." "Don't whine about it," said Boyd and lose big arms. "Then we are going to lose, eh!" quarried Clyde in a scared voice. "I thought maybe you had a plan. Look here!" he began an instant later. "Cherry pulled the suit once before. Why don't you let her see what she can do with Math?" Boy seated the speaker's face. "I mean she can work him if she tries, the same way she worked Hilliard." "March isn't in the mood to listen to arguments. I have tried that." "Who said anything about arguments? You know what I mean." "I don't care to listen to that sort of talk." "Why not? I'm entitled to have my say in things." Clyde was growing indignant. "I put in $10,000 of my own money and $20,000 besides on your insurance. That's $35,000 more than you put up." "Nevertheless it doesn't give you the right to insult the girl." "I insult her! Bohl You're no fool Boyd. Why did Hilliard advance that loan." "Because he wanted to, I dare say." "What's the use of keeping that up? You know as well as I do that she worked him, and worked him well. She'd it again if you sacked her. She'd do anything for you." CHAPTER XVL B OYD broke out roughly: "I tell you, I've beard enough of that talk, Alton. Anybody but an idiot would know that Cherry is far too good for what you suggest. And when you insult her you insult me." "Oh, she's good enough," said Clyde. "They're all good, but not perhaps in the way you uizen." "How do you know?" "I don't know, but Fraser does. He's known her for years. Haven't you, Fraser?" But the adventurer's face was like wood as they turned toward him. "I don't know nothing," replied "Fingerless" Fraser, with an admirable show of ignorance. "Well, judge for yourself." Clyde turned again to Emerson. "Who is she? Where did she come from? What is she doing here alone? Answer that. Now, she's interested in this deal just as much as any of us, and if you don't ask her to take a hand I'm going to put it up to her myself." "You'll do nothing of the sort!" Boyd cried saragely. Clyde rose hastily, and his voice was shaking with excitement as he stammered. "See here. Boyd, you're to blame for this trouble, and now you either get un out of it or buy my stock." "You know that I can't buy your stock." "Then I'll sell wherever I can. I have been stung, and I want my money. Only remember, I offered the stock to you first." "You've got a swell chance to make a turn in Kalvik," said Fraser. "Why don't you take it to Marsh?" "I will!" declared Alton. "You wouldn't do a trick like that?" Emerson questioned quickly. "Why not? You won't listen to my advice. You're playing with other people's money, and it doesn't matter to you whether you win or lose. If this enterprise fails I suppose you can promote another." "Get out!" Royd ordered. In such a tone that the speaker obeyed with ludicrous basse. "Did you know Cherry before you came to Kalvik?" Royd asked, searching his companion's face with a look the man could not evade. "Only casual." "Where?" "None—the year of the big rush." "During the mining troubles, eh?" "Sure." "What was she doing?" "Mindling her business. She's good at that." Fraser's eyes had become green and fahy, as usual. "What do you know about her?" "Well, I know that a lot of fellows would go through for her at the drop of a hat. She could have most anything they've got. I guess, most of them miners at Nome would give his right eye or his only child, or any little thing like that, if she asked it." "What else?" "Well, she was always considered a right good looking party—" "Yes, yes; of course. But what do you know about the girl herself? Who is she? What is her history?" "What is her warrior the very best poor detective? confessed "Fingleress." Fraser. "I've often noticed that about myself. If I was the kind that goes sn吞ing around into other people's business, listening to all the gossip I'm told, I make a good witness. But I ain't. No, siri! I'm a rotten witness." Despite this indirect ruhke, Boyd might have continued his questioning BILAN had not George Bait's heavy step sounded outside. A moment later the big fellow entered. "What did you find at the traps?" asked Emerson eagerly. "Nothing." George spoke shortly. "The fish struck in this morning, but our trap is corked." He wrenched off his rubber boots and fled them savagely under a bench. "What luck with the boats?" "Not much. Marsh's men are trying to surround our gill netters, and we ain't got enough boats to protect ourselves." He looked up meaningly from under his hefty brown and injured, "How much luck are we going to stand for this?" "What do you mean? I've got not know what to do." sambled the and eyes fanning. "You and I can get Willa Maran." Emeron shot a quick glance at Fraser, who was staring fixedly at Big George. "He's got it right enough, and it's bound to come to a killing some day, so the sooner the better," the fisherman ran on. "We can get him tonight if you say so. Are you in on it?" Boal faced the window slowly, while the other followed him with anxious eyes. Insidhe the Foom a desthike alience settled. Moreover, Mildred Wayland was soon to arrive—the yacht had we expelled daily, and the warden had him, would find that Marah had vanquished him. She would turn elsewhere—perhaps to the very man who had contributed his undoing. At thought of this a sort of desperation seemed to master him; he began to mutilate alience. "What did you say?" queried Balt. "I said that you are right. The time is close at hand, for some sort of a reckoning," answered Boyd in a harsh, strained voice. "Good!" Emerson was upon the point of turning when his eyes fell upon a picture that made him start, then gaze more intensely. Out upon the placid waters, abreast of the plant, the launch in which Cherry had departed was approaching, and it was loaded down with men. Not only were they crowded upon the craft itself, but trailing behind it like the fall of a kite was a long line of canoes, and these also were pooped. "Look wonder!" cried Boyd. "What?" Cherry has got a crew—"His voice broke, and he bolted forward the door as Big George leaped to the window." "Ijnus!" wildly shouted the giant, and without stopping to stamp his foot into his boots he rushed out barefoot after Boyd and Fraser. Together the three men reached the dock in time to help Cherry up the ladder. "What does this mean? Boyd asked her breathlessly "Will these follow work?" "That's what they're here for," said the girl. After her swarmed a crowd of slant eyed, copper bued Alouts. Those in the kraks awnest cast off and paddled toward the beach. "I've got fifty men, the best on the river. I tried to get more, but—there aren't any more." "Fingerless!" Praser slapped himself resoundingly upon the thigh and exploded profusely. Boyd seized the girls hands in his arms, tearing them. "The memory of his desperate resolution of a moment before swept over him suddenly and his voice trembled with a great thankfulness. "Don't thank me!" Cherry exclaimed. "It was more Constantine's work than mine." "But I don't understand. These are Marsh's men." "To be sure, but I was good to them when they were hungry last winter, and I prevailed upon them to come. They aren't very good fishermen. They're awful lazy and they won't work half as hard as white men, but it's the best I could do." She lingered gladly, more than repaid by the look in her companion's face. "Now get me some lunch. I'm fairly starved." Big George, when he had fully grasped the situation, became the boes fisherman on the instant. Before the others had reached the cookhouse he was buasted in laying out his crows and distributing his gear. The imporable and happened; victory was in sight; the hood was running. He cared to know no more. That night the doors of the fish dock ground beneath a weight of silver sided salmon, piled waist high to a tall man. All through the cool, dim lit hours the ranks of Chinese butchers hacked and glit and slashed with swift, sure, tireless strokes, while the great building echeod hollowly to the clank of machines and the blissing signs of the soldering furnaces. It seemed to Boyd that he had never felt such emulation as during the days that followed. He trod upon air; his head was in the clouds. He joked with his men, inspiring them with his own good humor and untiring energy. He was never idle save during the old hours that he snatched for sleep. While the daily output was disappearing, Emerson drew consolation from the prospect that his pack would be large enough at least to avert utter ruin. Up at the trust's headquarters Willis Marsh was in a fine furry. As far as possible his subordinates folded him. On the day after Boyd's delivery Constantine sought him out in company with several of the native fishermen, translating their demand to be paid for the fish they had caught. "Can't they wait until the end of the week?" Emerson inquired. "Not. They got no money—they got no grub. They say little baby is hungry, and they like money-now. So soon they buy grub, they work some more." "Very well. Here is an order on the bookkeeper." Bordt tore a leaf from his notebook and wrote a few words on it, telling the men to present it at the office. As Constantine was about to leave he called to him: "Walt! I want to talk with you." The breed halted. "How long, have you known Mr. Marsh?" "Me know him long time." "Do you like blm?" A blicker ran over the fellow's copper face as he replied: "Yes. Him good man." "You used to work for him, did you not?" "Yes." "Why did you quit?" Constantine hesitated slightly before answering, "Me go work for Cherry." "Why?" "She good to my little brother. You savvy little children—so big!" "Yes, I've seen him. Has a fine little fellow. By the way, do you remember that night about two weeks ago when I was at Cherry's house—night you and your sister went out?" "I member." "Where did you go?" Considineh elfthed walrus soled boots. "What for you ask?" "Never mind! Where did you go when you left the house?" "Me go Indian village. What for you ask?" "Nothing. Only, if you ever have any trouble with Mr. Marab I may be able to help you. I like you, and I don't like him." The breed grunted unintelligibly and was about to leave when Boyd reached WITH A STARTLED CITY, CONSTANTINE THRILPH. HIS FACE CONSTABLED. forth suddenly and plucked the fellow's sheat: knife from its scabband. With a started cry, Constantine whirled, his face convulsed, his nostrils dilated like those of a frightened horse. But Emerson merely fingered the Indian's weapon carelessly, remarking: "That is a curious knife you have, I have noticed it several times." He eyed him shrewdly for a moment, then handed the blinde back with a smile. Constantino slipped it into its place and strode away without a word. It was considerably later in the day when Boyd discovered the Indians to whom he had given the note asking Constantine on the dock. Soaring in argument with them, he approached to demand an explanation, whereupon the quarter breed hold out a silver dollar in his palm with the words: "These men say this money no good." "What do you mean?" "It no good. No can buy grub at company store." It was evident that even Constance tinea was vaguely distrustful. Another native extended a coin, saying: "What more want like this." Boyd took the piece and examined it whereupon a light broke upon him. The coin was stamped with the initials of one of the old fishing companies and he instantly recognized a run practiced in the north during the day of the first trading concerns. It had been the custom of these companies to pay their Indians in coins bearing their own impress and to refuse to other specie at their posts, thus compelling the natives to trade at company stores. Seeing that his words carried no conviction, Emerson gave up at last, saying: "If the company store won't take the money I'll sell you whatever you need from the commissary. We are not grown up and may trouble over a little thing like this." He marched the natives in a body to the storehouse, where he saw to it that they received what provisions they needed and assisted them in loading their canoes. But his amusement at the episode gave way to unceasiness on the following morning when the Aleuts failed to report for work, and by noon his anxiety resolved itself into strong auspicion. Bait had returned from the banks earlier in the morning with news of a struggle between his white crew and Marsh's men. George's boats had been surrounded during the night, nets had been cut and several encounters had occurred, resulting in serious injury to his men. The giant, in no amble mood, had returned for re-enforcements, stating that the aliens would every hour. Hearing of the desertion of the natives, he burst into profanity, then armed himself and returned to the banks, while Boyd, now thoroughly alarmed, took a launch and sped up the river to Chery's house in the hope that she could prevail upon her own recruits to return. He found the girl ready to accompany him, and they were about to embark when Chakawana came running from the house as if in sudden fright. "Where you go?" she asked her mistress. "I am going to the Indian village. You stay here." "No, not I no stop here alone. I go 'long too.' She cast a glance over her shoulder. "But, Chakawana, what is the matter? Are you afraid?" "Yea." Chakawana nodded her pretty head vigorously. "What are you afraid of?" Boyd asked, but she merely stared at him with eyes as black and round on oxheart cherries, then removed her entreaty. When she had received permission and had hurried back to the house her mistress romarked, with a puzzled frown. "I don't know what to make of her, Sho and Constantine have been acting very strangely of late. She used to be the happiest sort of creature, always laughing and singing, but she has changed entirely during the last few weeks. Both she and Constantine are forever whispering to each other and skulking about until I am getting nervous myself." Then, as the Indian girl came flying back with her tiny baby brother in her arms, Cherry added: "Shya's pretty, isn't she? I can't bear my people around me." At the church village, in spite of every effort she and Boyd could make, the Indians retreated to go back to work. Since, they can't use your money at the story, they don't seem to care whether it is good or not." Cherry announced after a time. "Oh, but it maddeningly." She stamped her foot aggrily. "And I was so proud of my work. I thought. I had really done something to help at last. But I don't know what more we can do. I've reached the end of my rope." "So have I," he confessed. "Even with these fifty Alouts we weren't running at more than half capacity, but we were making a showing at least. Now!" He funged up his hands in a gesture of despair. "George is in trouble, as usual. Marah's men have cut our nets, and the yacht may arrive at any time." "Tho yacht! What yacht!" "Mr. Wayland's yacht. He is making a tour of this coast with the other officers of the trust and—Midred." "Is—is she coming here?" demanded Cherry in a strained voice. "Yes." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I don't know; I didn't think you would be interested." "So she can't wait? She is so eager that she follows you from Chicago clear up into this wilderness. Then you won't need my assistance any more, will you?" Her lids drooped, half hiding her eyes, and her face hardened. "Of course I shall need your help. Her coming won't make any difference." "It strikes me that you have allowed me to make a fool of myself long enough," said Cherry chirngy. "Here I have been breaking my heart over this enterprise, while you have known all the time that she was coming. Why, you have merely used me—and George, and all the rest of us, for that matter." She laughed harshly. "You don't understand," said Boyd. "Miss Wayland." "Oh, yes. I do. I dare say it will gratify her to straighten out your troubles. A word from her lips and your worries will vanish like a mist. Let us acknowledge ourselves beaten and bog her to save us." Boyd shook his head in negation, but she gave him no time for speech. "It seems that you wanted to pose as a hero before her and employed us to build up your triumph. Well, I am glad we failed. I am glad Willis Marsh showed you how very helpless you are. Let her come to your rescue now. I'm through. Do you understand? I'm through." Emerson gazed at her in astonishment, but outstretched had been so unexpected, but he realized that he owed her so much to take offense. "Miss Wayland will take no hand in my affairs. I doubt if she will even realize what this trouble is all about," he said, a trifle stiffly. "I suppose I did want to play the hero, and I dared say I did use you and the others, but you knew that all the time." "Why won't she help you?" queried Cherry. "Doesn't she care enough about you? Doesn't she know enough to understand your plight." "Yes, but this is my fight, and I've got to make good without her assistance. She isn't the sort to marry a failure, and she has left to make my own way. Besides, she would not dare go contrary to her father's wishes even if she desired. That is part of her education. Oh, Wayne Wayland's opposition isn't all I have had to overcome. I have had to show his daughter that I am one of her own kind, for she hates weakness." "And you think that woman loves you! Why, she isn't a woman at all. She doesn't know what love means. When a woman loves, do you imagine she cares for money or fame or success? If I cared for a man do you think I stop to ask my father if I might marry him or wait for my lover to prove himself worthy of me? Do you think I send him through the hell you have suffered to try his metal? She languished ouright. "Why, I'd become what he was, and I'dight with him. I give him all I had—money, position, friends, influence, my people objected I tell them to go. I give I give them my aid to him. I give every dollar, every wife and feminine device that I possessed, in his service. When a woman loves who doesn't care what the world says. The man may be a weakling or worse, but he is still her lover, and she will go to him." The words had come tumbling forth until Cherry was forced to pause for breath. "You don't understand," said Boyd. "You are primitive; you have lived in the open. She is exactly your opposite. Conservation is bred in her, and she can't help her nature. It was hard even for me to understand at first, but when I saw her life, when I saw how she had been reared from childhood, I understood perfectly. I would not have her other than she is. It is enough for me to know that in her own way she cares for me." Cherry toasted her head in derision. "For my part I prefer red blood to sap, and when I love I want to know it. I don't want to have it proved to me he a problem in geometry. I want to love and hate and do wild, impulsive things against my own judgment." "Have you ever loved in that way?" "Have you ever loved in that way?" he inquired abruptly. "Yes," she answered without hesitation, looking him squarely in the eye with an expression he could not fathom. "Thank heaven, I'm not the artificial kind! As you say, I'm primitive. I have lived!" Her crimson lips curled scornfully. "I didn't expect you to understand her," he said. "But she loves me. And I-well, she is my religion. A man must have some God. He can't worship his own image. The chancery hatchoed slowly to the chair, and made her way into the launch. All the way back she kept silence, and Boyd, confused by her attack upon the citadel of his faith and strangely sore at heart, made no effort at apace. "Flaggrass!" Fraser met him at the water's edge. "Where in the devil have you been?" he crief breathlessly. "At the Indian village after hain Why?" "Big George is in more trouble. He sent for, beet, two hours ago. I was just going in, beat, it, down there." "what's up!" "There six of your man in the bank houses all beat up. They don't look like they'd run any more for awhile. Marsha's men throw their saffron overboard, and they had another fight. Thinks are getting warm." "We can't allow ourselves to be driven from the banks," said Boyd quickly. "I'll get the shoresmen together right away. Find Alton and bring him along. We'll need every man we can set." "Nothing doing with that party. He's quit like a house cat and gone to bed." "Very well; he's no good anyhow. He's better out of the way." He hurried through the building, now silent and half deserted, gathering a crew; then leaving only the orientals and the watchman to guard the plant, he loaded his men into the boats and set out. All that afternoon and on through the long, murky hours of the night the battle ranged on the lower reaches of the Kalvik. Boat crews chashed hard with winked nails and fought with winked fists, with oars and clubs, and when these failed they drove at one another with wicked one tinned fish "puce." All night the hordes of salmon swarmed upward toward the fatal waters of their birth, through sagging nets that were torn and silt, beneath keels that rocked to the impact of struggling, heedless bodies. CHAPTER XVII. B the sun slanted up between the southward hills out from the gossamer baza that is like flames in the sky the green area is a white rabbit. To Boyd Emerson she seemed like an angel of mercy, and he stood forth upon the deck of his launch searching her lungrily for the sight of a woman's figure. When he had that seen the ship rounding the point he had uttered a cry, then fallen silent watching her as she drew near, headless of his surroundings. His heart was leaping: his breath was choking him. It seemed as if he must about Mildred's name aloud and stretch his arms out to her. Of course she would see him as the Grande Dame passed. She would be looking for him, he know. She would be standing there, wet with the dew, searching with all her eyes. Doubless she had waited patiently at her post from the instant land came into sight. Seized by a sudden pancake she pass him unnoticed, he ordered his launch near the yacht's course. His eyes roved over the confession of an unformed officer upon the bridge and the bronze faces of the watch staring over the run. He saw close drawn curtains over the cabiners were still sleep. Then as he stood there heavy hearted, drooping with fatigue, his wet body chilled by the morning's breath, the Grande Dame gilded past, and he found the shell beneath his feet rocking in her wake. George Rait lattened him and brought his own launch alongside. "What craft is that?" he inquired. "She is the company's product. What the N. A. P. A. officers aboard." "Some of our boys is hurt pretty bad," he observed. "I've told them to take in their nets and go back to the plant." "We all need breakfast." "I don't want, nothing. I'm going over to the trap." Emerson shrugged his shoulders listlessly; he was very tired. "What is the use? It won't pay us to lift it." "I've watched that point of land for five years, and I never seen fish act this way before." But browled stubbornly. "If they don't strike in today we better close down. Marsh's men cut half our nets and crippled more than half our crew last night." He began to rumble curses. "Say, we made a mistake the other day, didn't we? We ought to have put that feller away. It ain't to lob yet." "Walt. Wayne Wayland is aboard that yacht. I know him. He's a hard man, and I've heard strange stories about him, but I don't believe he knows all that Marah has been doing. I'm going to see him and tell him everything." "Spoise he turns you down?" "Then there will be time enough to consider what you suggest. I don't like to think about it." "You don't have to to." said Balt. lowering his voice so that the helmmen could not hear. "I've been thinking it over all night, and it looks like Id ought to do it myself. Marsh is coming to me anyhow, and I'm older than you. It isn't right for a young man to take a chance. They get me you can run, the business alone." Boyd laid his band on his companion's shoulder. "No," he said. "Perhaps I wouldn't stick at murder—I don't know. But I won't profit by another man's crime, and if it comes to that I'll take my share of the risk and the guillot. What over you do, I stand with you. But we'll hope for better things. It's up easy thing, for me to go to, Mr. Wayland asking a favor. You see, his daughter is— Well, [I] want to see her very badly." Bolt good shrewdly. He eyed me and said, "I make it dead wrong for you to fake a hand. If it's necessary to get Marsh I'll do it alone. With him out of the way I think you can make a go of it. He's like a rattler—somebody's got to stomp on blink. Now I'm off for the old man says." Hoyd returned to the cannery with the old mood of self disguish and bitterly heavy upon him. He realised that George's offer to commit murder had not shocked him as much as upon the first mention. He knew that he had thought of shading human blood with as little complication as if the intended veltim had been some noxious animal. He felt, indeed, that if his love for Mildred made him a criminal who would be soiled by his disloathing and for her sake he shrank from the idea of violence, yet he laughed the energy at that time to put it from him. Well, his would go to her hands; him would go to his hands; he failed than he would look for for SATURDAY...OCTOBER 20, 1010. Himself. He could not find it in his heart to spare his enemy. At the plant he found Alton Clyde tremendously excited at the arrival of the yacht and eager to visit his friends. He sent him to the launch and after a hasty breakfast joined him. On their way out Boyd felt a return of that misrising which had mastered him on his first meeting with Mildred in Chicago. For the second time he was bringing her failure instead of the promised victory. Willis Murbh was ahead of him, standing with Mr. Wayland at the rail. Some one else was with them. Boyd's heart leaped wildly as he recognized her. He would have known that slim figure anywhere. And Murdred saw him, too, pointing him out to her companions. With knees shaking under him he came stumbling up the landing ladder, a tall, gaunt figure of a man in rough clothing and boots stained with the sea salt. He looked older by five years than the girl he had met and she often collected and his lips cracked by the wind, but his eyes were saddened with the old light. His smile was for her alone. He never remembered the spoken greetings nor the looks the others gave him, for her soft, cool hands lay in his hard, feverish palms, and she was smiling up at him. Alton Clyde was at his heels, and he felt Mildred disengage her hand. He tore his eyes away from her face long enough to nod at Marsh, who gave film a menacing look, then turned to Wayne Wayland. The old man was saying something, and Boyd answered film unintelligibly, after which he took Mildred's hands once more with such an air of unconscious proprietorship that Willie Marsh grew pale to the lips of whom Boyd had not noticed until now came down the deck—men and women with fieldglasses and cameras swung over their shoulders. He found that he was being introduced to them by Mildred, whose voice betrayed no tremor and whose manners were as collected as if this were her own drawing room and the man at her side a casual acquaintance. The strangers mingled with the little group, leveled their glasses and made senseless remarks after the manner of tourists the world over. Boyd gathered somewhat to see the heavy stockholdings of the their wives. He led Mildred to a deck chair and seated himself beside her. "At last! he breathed. "You are here, Mildred. You really came, after all!" "Yes, Boyd." "And are you glad?" "Indeed I am. The trip has been wonderful." "It doesn't seem possible. I can't believe that this is really you—that I am not dreaming, as usual." "And you? How have you been?" "I've been well—I guess I have. I haven't had time to think of myself, oh my lady!" His voice broke with tenderness, and he laid his hand gently upon her. She withdrew it quickly. "No here! Remember where we are. You are not looking well, Boyd. I don't know how you look now you so bad. Perhaps it is your clothes." "I am tired," he confessed, feeling anew the weariness of the past twenty-four hours. He correctly stalked a fold of her dress, unmintaining. "You are here after all. And you love me, Mildred? You haven't changed, have you?" "Not at all. Have you?" His deep breath and the light that named into his face was her answer. "I want to be alone with you," he cried huskily. "My arms ache for you. Come away from here; this is torture. I'm like a man dying of thirst." No woman could have behold his burning egerness without an answering thrill, and although Mildred sat motionless, her lilies dropped slightly and a faint color finger her cheeks. Her idle hands clasped themselves rigidly. "You are always the same," she smiled. "You sweep me away from myself and from everything. I have never seen any one like you. There are people everywhere. Father is somewhere close by." "I don't care—" "I do." My launch is alongside. Let me take you asleep and show you what I have done. I want to go ashore with the Berrya and Mr. Marsh." "Marsh." "Now don't get tragic! We are all going to look over his plant and, have lunch there. They are expecting me. Oh, dear!" she cried plaintively. "I have seen and heard nothing but canneries ever since we left Vancouver. The men talk nothing but fish and packs and markets and dividends. It's all deadly stupid, and I'm wretchedly tired of it. Father is the worst of the lot of course." Emerson's eyes shifted to his own cannery. "You haven't seen mine—cure" said he. "Oh, yes. I have. Mr. Marsh pointed it out to father and me. It looks just like all the others." There was an irritable pause before who ran on. "Do you hear that only one interesting feature here? Do you my hollow, and that is the way, the way." Those funny crooked pipes and those little wads of tobacco are too ridiculous." The lightness of the wounds damped his arbor and brought back the pains of failure. "I was down with the sailing nest at the month of the bay, this morning when you came in. I thought I might see you, he said. "At that hour? Heavenal I was sound asleep. It was hard enough to get up, when we were called. Father might have instructed the captain not to steam so fast." Boyd stared at her in hurt surprise, but she was smiling at Alton Clyde in the distance and did not observe his look. "Don't you care even to hear what I have done?" he inquired. "Of course," said Mildred, bringing her eyes back to him. Boyd finally did her of his disappointments, the obstacles he had met and overcome, avoiding Marsh's name and refraining from placing the blame where it belonged. When he had concluded she shook her head. "It is too bad. But Mr. Marsh told us all about it before you came. Boyd, I never thought well of this enterprise. Of course I didn't say anything against it, you were so enthusiastic, but you really ought to try something big. I am sure you have the ability. Why, the successful men I know at home have no more intelligence than you, and they haven't half your force. As for this—well, I think you can accomplish more important things than catching fish." "Important!" he cried. "Why, the salmon, industry is one of the most important on the coast." It employs 10,000 men in Alaska alone, and they produce $10,000 every year. "Oh, why!" he into statistics," said Mildred lightly: "they make my head ache. What I mean is that a fisherman is nothing like—an attorney or a broker or an architect, for instance; he is more like a miner. Pardon me, Boyd, but look at your clothes." She began to laugh. "Why, you look like a common laborer!" "I might have slicked up a bit," he acknowledged lamely, "but when you came I forgot everything else." "I was dreadfully embarrassed when I introduced you to the Berry and the rest. I darrosy they thought you were on the wrong side." Never before had Boyd known the least constraint in Mildred's presence, but now he felt the rebuke behind her careless manner, and it wounded him "WHY, YOU LOOK LIKE A COMMON LA BOBBI!" "WHY, YOU LOOK LIKE A COMMON LA- BORN!" deeply. He did not speak, and after a moment she went on with an abrupt change of subject: "So that funny little house over there against the hill is where the mysti- rious woman lives!" "Cherry Malote." "Yes, How did you learn that?" "Yes. How do you think that," Mr. Marsh pointed it out. He said she came up on the same ship with you." "That is true." "Why didn't you tell me? Why did not you write me that she was with you in Seattle?" "I don't know; I didn't think of it." She regarded him coolly. "Has anybody discovered who or what she is?" "Why are you so curious about her?" "Mildred shrugged her shoulders." "Your discussion with Willis Marsh that night at our house interested me very much." I thought I would ask Mr. Marsh to bring her ground when we went ashore. It would be rather amusing. She wouldn't come out to the yacht and return my call, would she?" Boyd smiled at her frank concern at this possibility. "You don't know the kind of girl she is," he said. "She isn't at all what you think. I don't believe you would be able to meet her in the way you suggest." "Indeed!" Mildred arched her brows. "What?" From her look of surprise he know that he had touched on dangerous ground, and he made hako to lead the conversation back to its former channel. He wished to impress Mildred with the fact that if he had not quite succeeded he had by no means failed, but she listened indifferently, with the air of humoring an insistent child. "I wish you would give it up and try something else," she said at last. "This is no place for you. Why, you are losing all your old wit and buoyancy; you are actually growing serious, and sorbus people are at all amusing." Just then Alton Clyde and a group of people, among whom was Willis Marsh, emerged from the cabin, talking and laughing. Mildred arose, saying: "Here come the Berry, ready to go ashore." "When may I see you again?" he inquired quickly. "You may come out this evening." His eyes blaked as he answered, "I shall counsel." "Mr. Emerson can't accompany us. He whales to be father." "I just for this in the cabin," said Marah. He helped the ladder to the ladder, and a moment later Emerson wayed the party ladder, then turned to the saloon in search of Wayne Wayland.

An aspiring jugglist went on for a preliminary bout at one of the athletic clubs not long ago. As he pulled on his gloves he beckoned the referee over and asked him to make an announcement.

Logan. The colonel was upstairs at the time, and General Logan was ushered into the library, where on a table were three volumes of Voltaire's works, an edition de luxe representing all that was best in the bookbinder's art. General Logan picked them up one at a time, absorbed in his admiration of their beauties. While so engaged Colonel Ingersoll entered the room. "Colonel," said the general, bolding one of the volumes in his hands, "this is the most magnificent volume that I do not want to seem important, but would you mind telling me what these books cost you?" "Those books," began the colonel, the winkle in his eye growing brighter at each word, "cost me—the governorship of Illinois." Hiz Low, Voice. The late Justice Brewer was presiding years ago over a civil case in which one of the important witnesses was a horse doctor named Williams. The doctor was, a small man with a weak little voice, and the counsel on both sides, as well as the court and jury, had great difficulty in hearing his testimony. During cross examination the counsel for the plaintiff became exasperated and began to prod and harry the little man. "Dr. Williams," he aboutted, "if we are over going to get anywhere with this case you must speak up so the court will hear you. Speak up loud and strong, also, and give veterinary tried, but it was evidently no use. Whether from embarrassment of inability the sound would not come. "Well, your honor," began the counsel indignantly, when Judge Brewer stopped him with a gesture. Leaning over the bench he said in his kindly tone: A WOMAN AND A CHECK. Mrs. Black Was Not Absolutely Help- lies in Money Matters. Some few persons still cherish the idea that all women are absolutely helpless in business matters, and that they are so lacking in financial ability that they cannot safely be trusted, as had been in the sash of paying all the household bills, at the end of each month, and his wife, though allowed unlimited credit, had never had an allowance. One day, the Blacks happened to be passing the comparatively new building in which the bank was situated. "Do you know, John." remarked Mrs. Black. "I have actually never been inside the bank since it was built more than two years ago!" "You haven't!" exclaimed John. "If that's the case I guess I'd better give you a check this month and let you pay the bills. Do you think you'd know how to cash it?" Mrs. Black received the check, which, by the way, happened to be an unusually large one that mouth. That evening Mr. Black asked, not without sarcasm, if she had succeeded in indorsing it properly. "Oh yes!" returned Mrs. Black cheerfully. "How many bills did you pay?" "None. It seemed stiffly to waste all that money paying bills." Then what in the world did you do with "Oh." returned the little woman seendy. "I just deposited it in my name and opened an account of my own with it!" Setting Her Right On one of the corners of a busy thoroughfare sat an old man blind and minus one, leg. A sympathetic lady who was passing stopped and gazed at him in pity. Finally she approached him and began asking him questions. She asked him if he were married, how many children he had, where he had worked last, how he had met with the accident that had incapacitated him for work and a thousand other questions. Finally the unfortunate one became peevish. "Madam," he exclaimed harshly, "you may think this is an information bureau. It is not. It is a collecting agency." — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Plair. Clothes Man. In a small South American state which had recently undergone a change of administration the new potentate summoned an artist and ordered new designs for all the official uniforms. "I wish showy girtumes, very showy," he said, "for the people are impressed by them. I have here some sketches that I myself have made. Look them over and be guided by these ideas as far as possible." The artist examined the sketches carefully. "This," he said, turning the pages, "is evidently for the navy and this for the army, but. If you please, what is this—a long red plume on a three cornered hat, yellow dress coat trimmed with purple, and—" "That," replied the chief of state gravely, "is for the secret police." His Hilarious Outburst: There is a dourly looking but substantial Scot living in London whose business ability is above the average, but everything he does is done with the glum and melancholy air of a man constantly wrestling with some problem of the soul. He rarely speaks unless spoken to. He never smiles, and his eyes have a fixed but intense expression. And he has been returning London with his family. The whole party were Scotch, but the glum man's companions were of genial type. One of them told a humorous tale, over which the roast laughed up- HE TOOK ONE AIDE. roariously. "Not so the 'human problem. He sat in a corner of the railway carriage glowering at his mithful friends. Half an hour afterward, however, when all were stalling at a street corner before separating, he turned to me and said, 'How slowly? 'He would observe that I did n' laugh at yond story. Well, I saw the joke. Ye might not think it, but I have a keen sense of humor." Grass and Glass A Scotman was employed to mow the lawn of a close faded old lady. She insisted that he must cut it very short, adding that one inch at the bottom was worth two at the top. He did it so well that she was moved to produce a whisky bottle and a gin, which she filled about half full. "Fill it up, mem," said Sandy, "for it's no like the grass. An inch at the tap's worth two at the bottom." --- How to Renw Color of Bricks.

Even in the warmest weather a tiny baby is not safe in the open air without a sack of some sort. To combine beauty and utility these little light fabric, sacks should be pretty embroidered, and therein lies inspiration for many a loving mother and devoted maiden nunt. Take, for instance, a little sack of baby blue French channel cut in kimono style. The sides are shaded from the armpits down, and the square sleeves, slashed also, are fastened by bows of blue ribbon, which also decorates the wide neck. Every edge is buttonholed in white, and there are sprays of white flowers worked in over and over stitch on the sleeves and on the side panels of the front. The great advantage of this sack is that it gives room for growth and thus is likely to have a longer life than the tightly cut little garment that is laid away in lavender after a few months. For a larger baby is the elaborately embroidered sack in white French fennelle. Give it a pointed sailor collar and slash the cuffs, which are turned back. There are pointed slashes of about two inches in length at the sides and the middle of the back also, which insures a fit to the square cut of the sack. The embroidery, bowknots and sprigs of forgetments, should be in over and over and stem stitch, with a scalloped edge closely buttoned. Then line the sack with white china silk. White crape, also lined with china silk, makes a novel and beautiful sack for the lucky baby who is presented with it. The neck is cut round, with a rounded V shape in front, as shown in the illustration. There are wide turn back cuffs, and the sleeves and shoulder breadths are full. There is a square slash in the middle of the back. The embroidery is done in old rose silk, and the same stitches and scalloped buttonhole edge are used as before. The sack is fastened by means of wide old rose ribbon. Either china silk or challis makes up well for a tiny sock cut in with a V stock and very wide sleeves, a little on the kimono type, especially in the cuffs and the square, straight bottom edge. The scalloping should again be very close, and the dainty flower sprigs are embroidered on the two back panels as well as the two front. Back and front there is an outline of a sailor collar in buttonhole stitch, though actually there is no collar at all. The whole effect is as dainty and cool looking as it can be. These little sacks are a solution of the "what to give the baby" problem. They are easily made and look about ten times thick and cool when they are worn. Any mother will be bound to have one for her babe, and any friend or relative of the new arrival will be only too glad to give her self-charming employment by making up and working one. The best of them is that the baby cannot have too many, and there is therefore no danger of repetition. HEALTH AND BEAUTY It is very necessary to cleanso the tooth thoroughly before retiring at night. Use a soft brush and a good tooth powder. - Sweet oil rubbed into the roots of the hair will often allay the unpleasant irritation from which dry scalps often suffer. Dipping the fingers in cold water and rubbing the gums every morning before breakfast will aid the circulation and is of great benefit to unhealthy, dabby gums. Bliting the lips-makes them hard and colorless. Rub a little cold cream, colored with a little cochineal, into them if they are rough or inclined to be sore. Wool stockings are often irritating to tender feet. Substitute heavy cotton ones, and salt or alcohol baths will stimulate the circulation of the feet, which is generally the main cause of chilblains. Never eat uncooked food, fruit or vegetables that have been exposed to the dust of the street without first thoroughly cleansing them. Many internal diseases have been attributed to the eating of gritty fruit and vegetables. Even the strongest eyes may be strained by suddenly raising the window blinds in the morning or suddenly switching on a glare of light in a darkened room without first shading the eyes. Quick change from darkness or dim light to sunshine or dazzling light is a distinct tax on the eyes. Another precaution worth remembering in the care of the eyes is not to exert them immediately after rising. Never read or study before breakfast. As It Impressed Him.

SATURDAY... OCTOBER 20, 1910. Religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is "mighty good." but many of the leaders of the Church have brought it into disregue. --- President Taft is not in the time- light any more. Ex-President Roosevelt is occupying the front of the stage and assumes the right to speak for both the Republican Party and for the administration. Colored men are taking an active part in politics in the doubtful states and many of them will get that recognition under state administration that they have been denied under national administrations. Harpers Weekly is bitterly opposing Colt Roosevelt and his Party. It claims that the name Republican has been erased and the word Roosevelt inserted in its place and it will not support the Roosevelt Party although it will support President Taft and his administration. --- The announcement that President Taft has decided to appoint Hon. William H. Lewis of Boston, Assistant Attorney General of the United States will be gratifying information to the colored people of the United States. If he will appoint a colored man to succeed Mr. Lewis the matter will be-doubly satisfactory. We would like to know and understand the inside situation of this affair but it is neverthiocas very gratifying to every well-thinking colored man in this country. EVOLUTION OF A PARTY. It seems like the "irony of fate" that Senator Dolliver should have died at this momentous time and that Senator La. Follette should be dangerously ill just when their services are most needed by the Insurgents of the country. Of course Col. Roosevelt is rendering signal service in the fight and has taken command in person of the cohorts which have been waging a genocide warfare upon Spokas Can. non and his supporters. It seems plainly evident that the political battle now being waged in New York will largely determine the future polley of the Republican Party of the nation. If Col Roosevelt wins he will unquestionably be the recognized leader of the Roosevelt Party which should be the name applied to the present Republican Party. Will the colored Republicans fare better under Mr. Roosevelt than under Mr. Tatt? Will the black allies led by Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York with the cordial approval of Dr. Booker, T. Washington be accorded official recognition and be elevated to political offices in this country, or will they be allowed political expenses before election day and after that time be forgotten? These questions demand an answer and the pledges required should be forthcoming or else we shall find ourselves in a position more humilating than the one we now occupy. The disintegration of the Negro vote is setting in. Coloradon are now affiliating with all parties and the result will finally be that individual recognition will take the place of that vouchsafed to organized bodies. THE DOWNFALL OF THE TRUE REFORMERS. --- The financial disaster which has overtaken the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers in general and the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, U. $ ^{4} $ O. T. R. in particular will not surprise any one of ordinary intelligence, who has observed the trend of events in that organization during the past ten or more years. It was this journal which announced in clarion tones the beginning of its dissolution. When its distinguished founder over-leaped himself, evidently upon the advice of his close advisers to "get rich quick" at the expense of the Order, and sold to the corporation for ($50,000) fifty thousand dollars, its own secret righthistle work and its own constitution, basing the sale upon the possession of two copyrights which had cost him just one dollar, we then declared that the end would come sooner or later and that the men interested in the deal would pay the penalty. We have lived to see the full realization of our prediction both as to the man and the organization. The former is dead and the latter is in its death-throes with its thousands of innocent victims as the sufferers. It rounds us of the biblical declaration that the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children, even unto the third and the fourth generation. But then it is useless to dwell upon the past. It is far better to look to the future and by-gones be by-gones. We are certainly pained by the disclosures, which whilo being something worse than we expected, yet they bear out the private information which has been furnished to us for two years or more. It proves too the value of the Bureau of Insurance and the Banking Department of the State Corporation Commission, which is engaged in correcting conditions in a charitable and business way and affording solvent concerns an opportunity to conform to modern methods of business. We are glad to note that the Joposits will hardly exceed sixteen thousand dollars and we see no need why this amount should not be forthcoming from the wreckage if the ownership of the bank can be successfully lodged with the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. will require a master mind to pilot the fraternal department of the Order through this malestrom of financial destruction. Still it can be done and we hope that the strong men and women "in the paws" so to speak will make up their minds not to let the Order die. Those of us who have criticised it have done so in a spirit which wished it well. We saw the breakers ahead and we warned the leaders. The result is well-known. We call upon them now to make another start. Rid the Order of those' who have been foremost in bringing about its undoing and make one more short to regain the prestige and capture the good record which they have lost. The colored people of the country should not be dismayed or disheartened by this disaster. They should try over again and redouble their efforts to demonstrate their ability to successfully launch and operate great financial enterprises. Our people must learn though to discriminate between leaders of ability and the leader of only the "mouth persuasion." Financial ventures cannot be entrusted to the crowd or to men who are emotional only and not sincere and practical. If the downfall of the True Reformers will tend, to rid the organizations of these kind of people and cause men of rare worth and ability to gravitate to the top, instead of being, by the clamor of the mob, forced to the bottom, then the disaster which has overtaken this great organization will not have been in vain.

For several months past it has been known that he was infatuated with the actress. They have been constantly together. Gould has been cruising in his yacht in northern waters during the summer. Kathryn Hutchinson was a member of the small party aboard. He was seen in Paris with her during the summer, when they dined often together at well known Bohoman resorts. Howard Gould's attachment to Kathryn Hutchinson has been common talk here for some time. His friends believe he will follow Frank Gould's example in refusing to reveal whether he intends to marry the woman with whom his name is associated, allowing his associates, as well as the public generally, to make whatever guesses they wish. Catches Strange Flah. A strange fish, such as never before has been seen on the water front at Boston, having a head nearly twice as large as its body, was caught off City Point by William Mcintyre, of South Boston. The fish is four and a half feet long. The head is two feet eight inches in diameter. The mouth extends nearly across the whole front of the head and contains fifty teeth and a tongue one foot across and two inches thick. There are no lips, the teeth being on the edge of the mouth and visible when the mouth is closed. The body tapers almost to a point. The fins have a spread of a foot each and are attached to the back of the head. --- Student Accused of Bigamy. Harry A. Roosback, aged twenty-three years, of New Haven, Conn., who made the claim that, he was a Yale student and the son of an Albany, N. Y., millionaire, was bound over to the higher court from the police court in bonds of $2000 on the charge of bigamy. Mary A. Sebas of this city, testified that she was married to him in Millerton, N. Y., three years ago. He deserted her and their baby about a month ago. He and Anna Sherwin, of Brooklyn, N. Y., wore married in this city. Crissan Sentenced to Death. Cripple sentenced to death Dr. Hawley Harvoy Crippon must die for the murder of his actress wife, Bello Elmorro, was decreed by swift British justice in London. After only thirty minutes' deliberation, an- cceeding a trial lasting five days, a jury found the American dontist-guilty of the murder of his wife Cora, an American woman, known on the stage as Belle Elmorro, and Lord Chief Jus- lice Alvorstone, who provided at the trial, sentenced Crippon to be hanged on Nov. 8. Toe was cultivated in China 2,700 years before the Christian era and in that country was first used as a bow- erage. Declared Not Guilty of Being an Accessory After the Fact in Murder of Belle Elmore After a trial that lasted but a few hours in the New Balloy criminal court in London a jury found Ethel Clara Lennox not guilty as an accessory after the fact in the murder of Corn Belle Cricken, for whose death her husband, Dr Hawley H. Cricken, will die on the gallows on Nov. 8. From the first Miss Lenovo has maintained innocence of any knowledge of the crime, but the crown charged that her behavior after the disappearance of Mrs. Cricken, or Belle Elmore, as she was known on the sting, who such as to botrya a guilty knowledge of the murder. When arraigned Miss Lenovo pleaded not guilty and witnesses were examined by the prosecution to show that she had perforations of great mental distress, following Belle Elmore's death. The crown prosecutor introduced only such evidence as had been brought out in the earlier hearings. Under Influence of Crippen. Miss Loneve's counsel asked the jury to bear in mind that his client had been under the influence of Crippen, one of the most dangerous criminals of recent years, since she was sixteen years of age. This, he asserted, accounted for her flight with the doctor. There was no proof that she had guilty knowledge of the crime. Counsel said that he took upon his own shoulders the responsibility for not putting Miss Loneve in the witness box. Lord Chifl Justice Alverstone, in summing up, said that he saw no reason why Dr. Crippen should have told Miss Loneve a story different from that which he told to others. When the prisoner had pleaded Lord Chifl Justice Alverstone called Richard, D. Mull, crown prosecutor, who outlined the case against the accused. It was clear, Mr. Murl said, that the intrigue between Dr. Cripson and Miss Leneve constituted the moNve for the murder of Cripson's wife. He dwelt particularly upon the evidence of Mrs. Jackson, Miss Leneve's landiay, at the preliminary hearing, and which will be introduced at this trial. The illness of the accused on the night of her interview with Mrs. Jackson was not, the prosecutor said, an ordinary illnss, but a condition of horror, the explanation of which was the knowledge that had come to her that Cripson had murdered his wife. Thore was a sequel to the Cripson case when the high court imposed a fine of $1000 upon Assistant Editor Berris for contempt of court in permitting publication in the London Chropicle of & story assorting that Dr. Cripson had purchased hyoscin and had confessed to the murder of his wife. The court ordered that Peris be imprisoned until the fine is paid. STEEL CANAL LOCK GATES Pittsburg Mill to Start Work on Big Contract For Panama.

Friends of Judge Anderson, of Indianapolis, Whom Roosevelt Denounced, Are Also Indignant. How. Simeon E. Baldwin, ex-chief justice or the supreme court of Connecticut and Democracy nominee for governor of Connecticut at the conning election, sent an open letter to Theodore Roosevelt, informing him that he had misrepresented him in his political speech at Concord, N.H., last Saturday, if the newspaper reports were correct, and demanding a retraction of the false statements, because they were likely to hurt the judge's standing as a lawyer and prejudice his candidacy for governor. Judge Baldwin, it is understood, means to bring an action for Jillol. Judge Baldwin's letter in part is as follows: "The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, LL.D. "Dear Sir—In the newspaper reports of a speech delivered by you at Concord, N. H., on Oct. 22, it is stated that you remarked; that the Democratic party of Connecticut had nominated for governor a former judge who was a man who took the view that it was competent for the workman, when driven to any employment, to grind him to blind himself not to be compensated if he lost life or limb in that occupation. "I nogr took such a view. "I never stated that I took such a view. "Such a view would be opposed to the settled principles of law, and no competent lawyer could or would take it. "I trust that your remarks at Concord were misrepresented. If not, you certainly were misinformed. "If you did, in fact, make the charge against me or one substantially of that character, I write to request that you would retract it, as it is one calculated to affect my standing as a lawyer (at least among those who do not know me), as well as to prejudice my position as a candidate for public office." Judge Anderson's Friends Indignant. The friends of Judge Albert B. Anderson, who was denounced at the Columbia club, in Indiapolis, Ind., by Mr. Roosevelt as a "danned crook and jackass," have written him from all parts of the state, and many have called upon him to express their indignation and at the same time assure him that nothing which the former president could say would have any effect upon those who know him and are familiar with his honorable record as a citizen and a judge. Some of them have indicated that they would be glad to unite in a testimonial and have it sent broadcast over the country, but there is little prospect that the judge would consent to this. Those who have talked with him, while not professing to speak for him, do not believe he will notice the insult. Notwithstanding his silence there is great indignation that he should have been characterized as a "crook and jackass" by Mr. Roosevelt, and some of the former president's warmest friends are among the number who believe he wantonly charged Judge Anderson with that which he in no sense deserves. Why Balloon Was Abandoned. Walter, Wellman, and his five companions, who were rescued at sea from the dirigible balloon 'America by the steamship Trent, Captain Charles E. Down, of the Royal blight Steam Packet company, about 375 miles east of Norfolk, Va., Tuesday morning while attempting to fly from Atlantic City to Europe, reached New York aboard the Tront. Mr. Wellman, still wearing the kahlai aviation clothes which he has worn since sailing from Atlantic City in the balloon last Saturday morning, showed no more ill effects of the voyage than did his companions, other than that he was somewhat pale and carried one arm in a sling owing to an injury, to the little finger of his right hand. After Mr. Wellman had groomed his wife, his four daughters, Mr. Vanman and Mrs. Loud, who is the aged mother of Mrs. Vanman and of Engineer Albert Louis Loud, of the America's crow, the newspaper men worked their way to Mr. Wellman's side to ask him the reasons for the abandonment of the dirigible and consequent lack of success of the voyage. Mr. Wellman surprised his interviewers by stating that the airship had met with no serious engine troubles and that the escape of gas from the bag was negligible. In two statements signed by Mr. Wellman just after the rescue and in conversation with Captain Down and passengers on the Trent, Mr. Wellman was quoted as saying that the dirigible had not with shapels so serious that the balloon when sighted by the Trent could have remained above the sea only a few hours longer and that her machinery had gone away. "The equilibrator was our great trouble," Mr. Wellman explained. "Before starting out on this balloon voyage we were of the opinion that no dirigible, could reach Europe without an equilibrator. Now we know that a dirigible, cannot get there, with an equilibrator. The equilibrator, which being partly formed of small tanks of gasoline arranged in links and trailing it, fell down into the ocean, was the very cause of our being compelled to throw overboard some of our gasoline on Sunday, night and Monday. The trailing tail had the balloon back and at times pulled it down through the OFFICES FOR RENT. WELL LIGHTED, WELL VENTILATED OFFICES FOR RENT IN THE NEW MECHANICS' SAVINGS BANK BUILDING.

A bolter explosion killed six firemen, fatally wounded two others and threw 2000 women and girls and halted as many men into a panic at the bigging and rope plant of the American Manufacturing company, at. Greenpoint, across the East river from New York. When the big bolter in the two-story brick warehouse attached to the plant blow up, there was a rush for the doors. Many of the weaker ones were trampled under foot. All the time the building was shaking, as another boiler blew up with great violence. The police reserves succeeded in quieting the disorder and in stealing the onrush from the factory buildings into the rain. When picked up the bodies of the six firemen were terribly mutilated. It was with difficulty that they were recognized. The other two firemen were rushed to a hospital in a dying condition. David B. Hill Is Dead. David B. Hill, ex-United States senator and former governor of New York, died suddenly at Wolffer's Roost, his count, y home near Albany, N. Y. He was sixty-seven years old and unmarried. About two weeks ago Mr. Hill was seized with a billion attack while at his law office in Albany, and although his condition was not considered serious at the time, his physician advised him to remain at home for a few days until he recovered. A cold developed and a few days later alarming reports of his condition were circulated. These reports were denied by friends; in fact, the senator appeared to be on the road to recovery until Wednesday night, when he suffered a sinking spell, which resulted in his death.

The automobile threatens to put the horse out of business, but Improvements in the methods of caring for the faithful animal are still being made. The illustration shows a device recently brought to the attention of the Unit- Currycomb and Brush. ed States army. It consists of a combined currycomb and horse brush. The upper view shows it opened so that the brush may follow the comb over the horse. The lower sketch shows the brush folded back to allow the use of either currycomb or brush separately. IMPORTANÇE OF PASTURAGE. Too Little Attention Paid to the Production of Hay-Pastures Are Cheapest Means of Feeding. The need of pasture lands capable of sustaining large herds of cows is one of the pressing issues for agriculturists throughout the eastern states. It is declared that there is no more important subject from the standpoint of a number of farmers than the producing of dairy products, and men of brains who have made a study of the subject have demonstrated that there is profit to be made in the business today as well as at any other time in the history of the country. So important is the general subject of pasturage considered by thinking men that Cornell University College of Agriculture has issued a valuable bulletin on the subject. This is summarized as follows "The greatest agricultural resource of New York is its exceptional adaptation for the growth of grass. Yet the hay crop has received little attention, and pastures have rarely received any care. Land is seldom seded with the right kinds of grass for the production of a permanent pasture. Usually the same seeding is used for hay and pasture—that is, timothy and clover. But these are short lived plants and will soon be replaced by weeds unless the long lived pasture plants are seeded with them. "Pastures furnish our cheapest feed. The pasture for one cow one day costs 3-6 cents; hay or hay and silage costs 12-15 cents; grain, 12-15 cents. A good pasture will replace all the hay and much of the grain. Pasture usually produces more milk than other feed at one-fifth to one-tenth of the cost. "Evidently the most profitable way to keep stock is to have an abundance of good pasture all summer. Too frequently the pasture has to be supplemented by summer feeding. Only on the high priced lands near large cities and on sandy soils that do not hold grass can summer feeding compare favourably with pasture. "It would certainly seem good policy to consider means of increasing the efficiency of our pastures. They are one of our most profitable farm crops and give large returns for any care that they receive. The increasing cost of feed makes this care important." "The bulletin gives detailed information concerning the growth and habits of various kinds of grasses and clovers suitable for pasture and adds: "It will be seen that the most expensive pasture land in the United States is in the middle west. This is the land that was most largely responsible for the decline in animal production in the east. Even the arid land is no longer cheap pasture. The rich lands of the middle west are so valuable for the production of corn and wheat that they are not likely to be extensively used for grazing. Their use for this purpose was a matter that could last only while population was scarce. On the other hand, the great natural crops of New York are trees and grass. One third of our improved farm land is in hay and one-third in pasture. These natural crops, together with our large city population, will in the long run determine our agricultural products. We will ultimately sell large quantities of hay, milk, potatoes, apples, butter, wool, meat, lumber and horses. "The first demand is, of course, for milk and hay for our cities, since these products cannot be shipped long distances, but these demands require only a part of the area of the states mentioned. The trouble during the past generation has been that, land that should have, have, producing, sheep, horses and lumber, was driven out of these, industries by competition, with free land, and it also, was used for producing hay and milk, with the assistance of Rs. The recent rise in the, price of western land seems to indicate that the time is near at hand when the production of sheep, horses, butter and lumber will occupy a much larger place as profitable industries particularly in the state of New York." MILO FATTENS CALVES. When Fad on Skimmilk, Milo Provides Good Substitute For Fat Whiho ·Has Been Removed. When milk is skimmed before being fed to a calf the fat is removed, and some cheaper material must be substituted which, when eaten, will perform the same service to the calf's body as the fat would in the cream. The cheapest substitute for fat is some grain rich in starch, as starch, after being digested, performs the same duty in the body as fat, a much greater quantity, however, being required. An ideal grain to feed calves having skimmilk is ground milo. Milo not only supplies the place of the cream, but it is mildly constipating and, properly fed, overcomes the tendency of the skimmilk to cause scours. The ground milo should be fed dry to skimmilk calves immediately after they have finished drinking their allowance of skimmilk. It should never be mixed with the milk. When mixed with the skimmilk the ground milo is bolted, being chewed little or none at all. It remains undigested and has an irritating effect on the stomach and intestines, often producing severe scouring. After the young calf has finished drinking his skimmilk take a handful of ground milo and rub it lightly upon the outside of his lips. He will spend an hour liking it off and chewing it. In a few days he will in this way have acquired a taste for the milo meal, and then the meal can be given to him dry in a box. The calf will spend a great deal of time chewing a small quantity of the dry, fine meal, and the more he chews it the better it will digest. Give a pint at a feed after the calf has learned to like the ground milo and gradually increase the quantity as he needs it to keep in good flesh. VAT FOR CATTLE DIPPING. Method Employed In' Western States Has Proved Success, Completely Submerging Animal Twice. The plan of the cattle dipping plant shown here is one that is used largely in the west with a large degree of success. At the entrance of the vat is a trap, as shown in Fig 1, swaging on a pivot, and when a steer goes on to this trap it would tip up and precipitate the animal into the vat. It was found that this was not satisfactory and this trap was changed to a slight incline, covering the incline with a piece of sheet steel eight feet in length. This incline has a drop of eight or ten inches in six feet, and by wetting it before the cattle go on to it it becomes very slippery and acts as a toboggan slide, so that when they go out on this incline they slide off into the vat, completely submerging themselves, as the solution in the vat is about six feet deep. This vat is made from two inch yellow pins, the vat itself being set in the ground about six or eight feet. The ribs to hold the sides as well as the bottom are 4 by 3 placed about four feet apart and bolted both at the top and bottom so as to form a complete band around the tanks as shown at Fig. 2. The planks are beveled on the edges and the cracks packed with oakum, which makes a tighter joint than if they were tongued and grooved. The cost of one of these plants without boiler will average from $175 to $250, according to the material, labor and point at which it is constructed. Let a man stand on the top of the vat with a pole arranged with an iron fork to go over the neck so as to crowd the steer under a second time, so that in swimming the length of the vat the animal is completely submerged twice. LIVE STOCK NOTES Fattening hops should not be made to wait for their food. Regularity in feeding is essential. The community reputation for one kind of stock is worth dollars to every man living in that neighborhood. Few sheep have as good care as they ought to have. Too many farmers leave them to shift for themselves. They can't do their best that way. Make much of your sheep. They are one of the best kind of property on the farm. Count the cost of raising a calf till it is three years old, then figure up what it costs to raise a good three-year-old colt. Opposite the cost of much place the sum it would sell for at that time. Note the clear, crisp on each, and you won't be slow in looking around for some good, well bred brood mates. Some men are always going to make hay while the sun shines—tomorrow. Remain in Bedchair in Lapinette. FARM BYPRODUCTS VALUABLE For Feeding Hogs, Which Should Particularly Be Capt Where Much Corn Is Grown. Hogs by nature are designed especially for the consumption of concentrated feeds, such as grain. Of late years more roughage in the form of pasture has been utilized. This, however, is only one of several important factors. The hog must have the principal part to do with the marketing of the concentrated foodstuffs and byproducts, such as milk and wastes from the farm. Where milk is produced in large quantities hogs are almost essential except in unusual conditions. Where much corn is grown hogs fit in well. In fact, the hog is a valuable adjunct in the disposition of all the grains and waste byproducts. However, it must be remembered that hogs grown in large numbers are not proportionately so profitable as when a smaller number are grown. Many people have made the mistake of getting overenthusiastic as to the profits to be realized in pork production and have attempted far more than they could efficiently manage, with the result that prospective profits were absorbed in expenses and losses. Here, as everywhere, success depends on good judgment. With all the pork producer's pains, the return which he will receive from the sale of his hogs must depend in large measure upon the manner in which he markets them. He should if possible—and the price offered agrees fairly well with the quotations seen in the market reports—sell to a local buyer for cash in the home feed lot. Thus all risks and anxieties are avoided; the animals show off to the best advantage; no loss of weight occurs in transportation. If, however, the hogs must be shipped to a stockyard commission house for sale it should be only to a firm concerning whose reliability there can be no doubt. If the shipment is large enough it will pay the farmer to accompany it to see that the hogs are well cared for in transit and to learn the market demands and ways. Once an honest, "dependable" dealer is found the best policy is to stick to him year after year. Better prices are accured for uniform lots of hogs than for mixed lots. Ofen a few neighbors by keeping but one breed of hogs and marketing together will be able to sell oge or more carloads of uniform porkers. A WINDOW TABLE Room Saving Devices May Be Used For Writing Purposes or Serve as Means of Decoration. The device shown in the illustration makes a handy table for flowers, seedlings, etc., either outside or interior, where space is small. It is made by Window Table. securing a plank of serviceable size to the wall or window casings, by utilis- ing a couple of strong hinges on the underside of said plank. Further support is given by large wires held by screw eyes to the table, and so on. FARM NOTES There are very few hogs that will be troubled with sore teeth from eating the windfalls from the apple orchard this year. Hauling manure in August is hot work, but the usual dryness of it makes the loading easier, and the spreader does the unloading. Who after using a sprender would go back to unloading by hand? The motorcycle is finding favor with the mail carriers now that the roads are dry and smooth. They are able to make their twenty-five mile trip in about two and one-half hours, which is "going some" when the stops they make are taken into consideration. Those having shallow wells and shallow ponds or water holes are finding themselves short on stock water. Every day spell adds more deep, permanent wells to the country, for when folks get short on water they will do something, and that something usually means a good well. The rural free delivery of mail and the telephone have helped make the farmer's life more pleasant. Now, with better roads and an automobile, together with up to data machinery to get the work done in season so as to have time to do a little visiting occasionally, it would almost seem that the farmer had come to his own. PUNGENCIES An English title is always one of the season's "best sellers." "Poets are born, not made." Which is only another way of blaming it on the poor storm. A change disk is morally a trying man that's broken into society. "Sir," said the deputy-greedy leading man, his criticalism of my performance of the Rightful Duke, was rude and thoughtless and harsh in the extreme. "You say," Tattersley Kean, as the duke, had an entirely onerous conception of the part, and his acting was worse than his conception." "Yes, I remember," said the dramatic crifle. "He was my honest opinion, you understand." "Of course, of course," cried the doctor; "but you might have expressed the same sentiment in a little different form." "For instance," queried the crifle. "Well, you might have said: 'Tatortley Kean; the well-known Shakepearean interprator, was fitted with a role that was entirely uncongenial, and in which he had no opportunity to display his unmistakable talents.' The crifle-looked thoughtful. "Well, yes," he said, "that would have been different." Otherwise. "Do you know that there is danger of catching deadly diseases from street car straps?" "No, I didn't know that; I remember, though, that I used to suffer great inconvenience from hold-back straps." "That is odd! Caused blisters on your hands did they?" "No, not on my hands; 'twas a hold-back strap that dad used to wallop me with." HE DIDN'T GIVE UP. I knew a man who journeyed once Upon a Fullman car. Bat in the smoker, told a joke And smoked a black cigar. And yawned a hundred times or so, And took a little nap. And sprawled himself this way and that, And wore a linen cap. And bought three papers on the way, And read some magazines, And scraped acquaintance with a girl, A "beach" still in her teens. And did 'most everything. I guess, A lonely chap will do When traveling for half a day, Or e'en the whole day through. He did 'most everything. I say, But one; by stratagem The wily porter failed to get A quarter out of him. Tom—I have the key to her heart. Dick—You must have robbed a bank. Pretty Mean. The meanest man in town, I guess, must be the chap Who, when the home team lost, declared He didn't care a rap. Couldn't Do It Now, "Atlas supported the earth." "But that was before the cost of living was so high." JOHN M. Higgins, DEALER IN CHOICE GROCERIES, WINES, LIQUORS and CIGARS.

C. Barksdale was baving a glanco at tho bank, . By the next day the condition of affairs had become so ovident to the examiners that the Bureau of Insur- ance ordered the officials of the True Reformers not to put ahy more money belonging to the order on deposit with tfe bank. Sinée that day all monoys belonging to the order havo been placed {n another bank, As tho examination progressed it was found that while’ tho books are not in uch condition as to permit an accarate statement to be made, tho amount due tho order is approximately $336, 100, of which $374,000 is in depos- {ts and $61,100 In money borrowed by tho bank from the order. =.
