VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 48. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1912. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. MANY FRIENDS THERE—THE COLUMBUS DAY PARADE. I left Richmond Thursday, October 10th on about three hours' notice, having received a telegram to come at once to Boston, Massachusetts. The 12:01 train reached Washington at 2:45 and I had until 5:16 to remain in the Capital City. The base-ball fans were around the score-board at one of the daily paper offices. I met Rev. J. H. A. Cyrus there too, who had been under an operation and one of his eyes had been removed. I had engaged sleeping car reservation from Richmond and when I reached the station found no trouble in securing the assignment. I went into the dining car and was served. For the first time, a white passenger took a seat at the table opposite me and ate his meal with evident relish and satisfaction. On gave but little evidence of the injury caused by the sudden decoon that early Saturday morning. THE CRISPUS ATTUCK'S MOMENT. The streets of Boston in the business section were roped and laid bodies of police were moving ably to take their places and to preside order during the mammoth parade which had been scheduled for the day. I attended down Washing street and it was not long before was on the Boston Common. I am the Crispus Attucks Monument which was inscribed the names the colored men who had given the lives to their country at the best ning of the Revolutionary War. In the distance on a command situation could be seen the most ACROSS THE BAY. As soon as the porter made down my berth I retired and I awoke the next morning to find myself in the neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. I remembered though that I had been aroused in the night time by the motion of the train. It was being transferred in two sections to barges and carried across the bay and then again when to Harlem and carried around New York without change for the passengers. This fast train is known as the Federal Express. Found it raining the next morning. All along the route large postons with an excellent portrait of President William Howard Taft greeted one, telling about Republican prosperity and warning against a change to deplorable conditions. IN EDITOR TROTTER'S SANCTUM. When the train rolled into the station, I was met by Mr. T. A. Holmes and Rev. J. L. Davis. They had been sent by Editor William Monroe Trotter to meet me. Reaching the office of the Guardian, for the first time I met Editor William Monroe Trotter in the storm centre of all agitation in New England. I readily recognised him by the pictures of him. He explained that he was preparing to go to press. He wanted to know if I would speak at Faneul Hall and was plainly distressed when I told him that my business in Boston was wholly of a financial nature and that I was not actively politics. The police was busily engaged, too and for a time I felt that the cares of my printing office had come to me again. A FINE HOTEL I wanted breakfast and my guide conducted me to the fashionable white hostelry, known as Young's Hotel. Mr. William Minor, the po lite assistant in charge of the dining room conducted me to a seat at one of the tables and a colored waiter promptly appeared and took my order. The dining room was a palatial one. In the afternoons an orchestra played in the balcony while the guests ate. When I had been served and the roast eaten, I went to the hotel desk and intermedied the hotel sleek that I desired. The queen looked at my card and then showed the hotel towards me, with the remark "You can register, Mr. Mitchell, but I shall have to make an assignment of your room later. Do you wish one with bath?" I replied in the affirmative. That evening when I again applied he made an assignment and I found that he had located me on the second floor in most comfortable quarters with double bed, wardrobe and all of the necessary accompaniments. FRIENDS GET THE NEWS I had a telephone in my room and was in direct communication with the hotel and by another connection with the expat world. My first day in Boston was an enjoyable one. Mrs. Trotter informed me that the phone calls had been easy and pleasant. I opened a pleasant plan that after room and the next morning awoke to find that Columbia Bay was universally enjoyed by all ages. I went to the office of the hospital, where I found Mrs. Trotter in much pain. She had the wounds in her mouth and arm by the same time. on gave but little evidence of the injury caused by the sudden descent on that early Saturday morning. THE CRISPUS ATTUCK'S MONUMENT. The streets of Boston in the business section were roped and large bodies of police were moving about to take their places and to preserve order during the mammoth parade, which had been scheduled for that day. I strolled down Washington street and it was cut long before I saw the Crispus Attuck monument on which was inscribed the names of the colored men who had given their lives to their country at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. In the distance on a commanding elevation could be seen the War monument. The sound of music told me that the parade had begun its march promptly at 11 o'clock as had been previously arranged. Twenty-four men in uniform had for more than two hours, I watched the passing civilian army and the National Guard. COLORED MEN IN LINE. TOO. The letter-carriers were in evidence there and a few colored men were in line with their white associates. The Grand Army Veterans also had grizzled-colored men marching with them. There were no colored men among the sailors. The colored Odd Fellows and Pythians were represented. They constituted a separate organization and I saw one colored company of National Guard. The detachment of colored boys was also colored folks had their own band. They were also in the parade and they had a most pictureque display. They had not spared either time or expense in placing the Flowery Kingdom in the front rank, so to speak. A BALKY AUTONOBILE. Just as the large automobile truck with ladies representing the thirteen original states came near, it was observed that the man driving the car stopped and got out. He had stopped the parade and those in the rear waited patiently for him to move off. He reminded some of the decorations and the man that crank handle began to crank the motor. For a time, it seemed that his efforts would be in vain. Just as the line behind him was getting impatient and about to make a movement to pass him, the motor started off again and the truck moved off much to the satisfaction of the ladies who sat there during the amphibianism. Mayor came by and plaudited of the populace. The Grand Stand was to front of the Boston Common A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY. It is impossible to describe the magnificence of the scene in the space allotted. When the last carriage and vehicle had passed the mighty crowd of people filled the roadway and a few moment later, street cars were crowded to overflowing. Boston has installed a modern subway system. It is built for electric street cars how ever and a part of the distance is above the surface as well as underground. I visited the law offices of Attorney John M. Burrell. He is located at 12 School St. I. had the pleasure of dining with him and the Madame, Sunday afternoon at Cambridge. He has a cary home and is prepping. On the door below, in the office building, I called on Atteray Butler R. Wilson, who was bursally engaged in legal matters. I chock hands with him and left, not having the opportunity to again see him before leaving the city. THOSE LAWYERS' OFFICES It will be remembered that he was one of the colored attorneys, admitted to the American Bar Association over the protest of many of his Negro hating members. Mr. Wilson may usually be mistaken for a white man. His bronzed features showed that he had made much havoc. I enquired for barber shop and was told that Mr. George W. Gray, 112 Dartmouth St., Saratoga at Pembroke, Va., established one of the best in the city. According to Mr. Durham, the attorney was a man of great integrity. me that he conducted a hospital in Boston. He afterwards took a seat in the boot-black's chair and I was much amused to hear him upbraiding this boot-black for taking his money for a shine and when the boot-black's brother was taken back he bid him to the city Hospital at cost of ten dollars per week, when he would-have taken him in his colored folks hospital for-eight dollars per week. THE PREVAILING QUESTION. He remarked that colored folks would not support each other. What answer the boot-black gave we never know, but that the colored doctor was thoroughly disgusted went without saying. That afternoon we dined with a distinguished gentleman we met at the hotel, and we met our many friends and acquaintances wondering as to, for what and why John Mitchell came to Boston. II. Endom Jones Lead to Rest. The funeral of H. Endone Jones, son of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Jonce took place last Sunday at 1 P. M. at the First Baptist Church. The edifice was packed from the roostrum to the tomb. Rev. T. J. J. Mosby lined Hymn No. 293, "Father, I Stretch My Hands to Thee." Rev. R. Beecher Taylor read the Scriptures Rev. Z. D. Lewis D.

Funeral Director, Isac Johnson organized floral supports placed at intervals about the casket made a scene of surpassing beauty. The casket, was steel gray plush with heavy silver mounted bar handles. The funeral cortege passed out at the choir sang. Mrs. Nannie Osborn Cobb is organist. Died Under Peculiar Circumstances. Beverly Knox, who was ill was presumed to be drunk by the police and sent to the police station. Later he was transferred to the city-jail hospital and from there to the Virginia Hospital. - He became a raving maniac and died October 20th from apoplexy.

The boys accompanied by Alber Troyen on the way home to Curt's Neck Farm in 1913 had been working, when Clarence tried to take the gun from Eddie's shoulder.

A large congregation with many whites, attended the services to witness the baptism of several children. Rev. Robert W. preached on the subject of Baptism. At 7:30 P.M. M. the building was again filled to listen to a special sermon by the pastor, subject, "Seven Steps to Heaven." By request the Rev. is to remeet this sermon. The revival at the A. M. E. Church Rev.

September Term. We have been informed that she was let free. This was through the efforts of a white gentleman who went on her bond and her many colored friends who stood by her. You remember this was the case spoken of in this paper several months ago, when two young women were courted by the same young man. One of the better men successful, married the young man. This young woman, it seems, sent a valentine to the defeated lover with some obscene language written on the back of said valentine. It is currently reported that the defeated lover made her reply on the back of said valentine and returned it. Neither party signed their own name. The valentine found its way through the hands of some one into the hands of the officers of the law with this young lady's name, Lou Bertha Gilliam, signed thus. She was arrested and taken to Lynchburg, Va. She was bailed, sent home and her many friends went to work for her freedom. She was a poor girl, stood well in the community and in the fatto, when she was a deacon of one of the leading Baptist Churches of Cumberland County. We feel that if we failed to mention the name of Miss Kate Mosley, one of the public school teachers of this county, a teacher of this unfortunate young woman, we would do her and the public generally an injustice. Miss Mosley is a graduate from the Hampton Normal Institute and has done much to add to the name of this institution. She went from church to church, told the history as it was, painted the good character of the entire family through father and mother, both dead, but took pains in showing that the finishing touch was in the life and character of this young woman. The result was $130 was raised, $100 paid the expense and $30.00 turned over to the unfortunate young woman. We will say as we have said, a lesson is taught to the young to guide their future lives. Mrs. Moll E. Jones and Mrs. Lizzie Watkins of East Radford, Va. are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Richard Watson of Virginia Street. Mr. Johnson, our busy merchant, did business on Second street is prepared to serve the public. Call in and see him. DRAKES BRANCH (VA.) NEWS. The sudden disappearance of Whit field Road of Cullen, Va. has caused much alarm. Read was last seen October. 8th on the farm near Cullen where he was employed as Caretaker He is said to have sent a small white boy, who was also living with him, to the pasture for a horse. When he was returned and failed to and Read the letter, he was told that neighbors joined in and the neigh- berhood was given a general hint, but no trace of the man could be found. Lost Sunday Mr. Andrew Cary gave mother of the missing man at Beautiful Plain Church, Charlotte C. .M., hosted a party from that place, some home-break and some adve- tment. These joined a party of Cullen and had a day of fun. It was R. W. Anderson, by whom he had come to Baltimore with his wife and mother. But a memoir from his wife, the finding of his coat in the pocket of which was $20 and $45 held by a friend for safe keeping, caused this idea to be abandoned. It is believed he followed some foolish imaginary wall that he claims comes to him through the air and directs him, and wandered away in the woods. James Gains of Charlotte C. H., while plowing near Cullen, had rea on to believe Read's body was near him in the woods. A party of men found it only to be a place where birds had chosen to roost. The life of Whitfield Read is an unique one and would fill a large volume, but would be preyed only by incredible stories of fortune tellers, whom he paid woll for their services, he had developed a strong belief in Conjuration, dreams, evil spirits, etc. He carried in his pocket letters of advice from them that he claimed were more valuable than money. Read married Miss Nellie Spencer, who lived several years his junior. The couple did not agree life became miscrable and Read often said he would rather be dead. As everything but harmony prevailed, she took her 10 year old daughter some years ago and went to Baltimore where she might breath easier and lose her troubles 'mild the pleasures of life. Miss Seal Jackson is visiting friends in Cullen. He agrees Cousin is much improved. Miss Mary and Martha Pough have returned from Halifax where they visited their grandma. Protracted meeting beging this week at St. Michael Church. Mr. Clem Grown is in Newport News on business. Miss Cunningham of South Boston is here and will teach the Crown Point School this season. Arrangements are being made to combine this and the Organ Hill School into one house. The idea is to give. Drakes Branch one good school. Then employ as many teachers as are needed. so order to do justice to children from both sides the large school should be placed as possible which will be seen near the center of Drakes Branch. This ought to satisfy both schools and all concerned. The patrons are pleased and will give money if necessary to assist this movement. The plans are not yet complete. Planet.

ALEXANDRE DUMAS SYNOPSIS Young D'Artagman, going to Paris to seek service under D'Treville, captain of the king's guards has a quarrel in Meung with the king's guards. D'Artagman is received by Treville and meets the three guardians Porthos, Aramis and Athos. They have been quarrelling with Cardinal Richelieu's guards Athos is wounded. Treville offers D'Artagman a letter to the director of the royal military academy in Paris, who the man of Mingruzushes to him, bumps into Athos and is challenged.

Bonacieux, D'Artagman's landlord, misses his wife, semaetras to the queen and proteges of Laporte, queen's valet. She knows of the queen's love affairs. Bonacieux asks aid of D'Artagman and his friend. Bonacieux is arrested. His wife is rescued from the police by D'Artagman, who loves her. He takes her to Athos' house. He is to go to the Louvre and warn Laporte. Mma. Bonacieux is surprised by D'Artagman in mysterious intrigue at night. She warns him not to mingle in them. He promises to go home. The Duke of Buckingham, favorite of King Charles of England, is in love with queen of France. D'Artagman assists him, who is arrested by mintake for D'Artagman. Queen Anne sends Buckingham away after giving him a javelin casket as a resemblance to Bonnieche, under arrest, after the attack on Bonnieche. Richele Interrogates Bonnieche.

Mone Bonnieche offers to aid the queen in recovering the diamonds from Buckingham, but discloses unintentionally to Bonnieche, now Richeleille tool. that Mone, wishes to send a message to London. CHAPTER XIV. A. H. madame," said D'Arignan as he entered by the door which the young woman had opened for him. "allow me to tell you that you have a bad sort of a husband there." "You have then overheard our conversation?" asked Mme. Bonacieux. "How?" "By a mode of proceeding known to myself." "And what did you understand by what you heard us say?" "That it gives me an opportunity of placing myself at your service. The queen wants a brave, intelligent, devoted man to make a journey to London for her. I have at least two of the qualities you stand in need of, and here I am." Mme. Bonacieux made no reply, but her heart beat with joy, and secret hope shone in her eyes. "And what pledge can you give me, asked she, 'If I consent to conduce this message to you'" "My love for you. Do you know Athos, or Portheus or Aramis?" "No; who are these gentlemen?" "Two of the king's musketeers. Do you know M. de Traville, their captain?" "Oh, yes. I know him; not personally, but from having heard the queen speak of him more than once as a brave and loyal gentleman." "You are not afraid that he would betray you for the sake of the cardinal?" "Oh, no, certainly." "Well, reveal your secret to him and ask him whether you may not safely consider it to me." "But this secret is not mine." "Why, you were going to confide it to M. Bonacieux," said D'Artagnan, with an offended tone. "Put to me the proof." Madame Bonacieux looked at the young man, restrained for a minute by a last hesitation, but there was such an order in his eyes, such persuasion that she felt herself drawn to me to place him in the chair. "Lorem," said she, "I yield to your presentations, I yield to your assurances. But I swear to you that if you betray me and my enclosed pardon me, I will kill myself while accusing you of my death." "And I, I swear to you, mumdame," said D'Artagnan, "that if I am taken while accusing the orders you give me, I will do sooner than do anything." Than the young woman condemded to hit the terrible secret. D'Artagnan was rudish with joy and pride. This secret which be possessed, this woman he loved: "I will go," said he. "I will go at once." "How! You will go!" said Mme. Bonacieux; "and your regiment, your captain." "By my soul, you have made me feel get all that, dear Constance! Yes, you are right—I must obtain leave of absence. I will go this very evening to M. De Treville, whom I will request to ask this favor for me of his brother-in-law, M. Dessaint." "But you have perhaps no money." "Poor you do so much," said D'Artagnan, smiling. "Then," replied Mme. Bonacieux, opening a cupboard and taking from it the very bag which half an hour before her husband had caresed so affectionately, "take this bag." "The cardinal's" cried D'Artagnan breaking into a loud laugh. "It will be a doubly annoying affair to sate the queen with the cardinal's money." "You are an available and a charming young man," said Mme. Bonacieux. "Be assured you will not find her majesty ungrateful." "Oh, I am already more than recomposed," cried D'Artagnan. "I love you, you can tell to you that that is already more happiness than I shared to hope." "Silence!" said Mme. Bonacieux, starting. "Some one is talking in the street. It is my husband." D'Artagnan ran to the door and drew the holt. "He shall not come in before I am gone," said he, "and when I am gone you can open the door for him." "But I ought to be gone too. And the disappearance of his money-show am I to justify it if I am here." "You are right. We must go out." "Go out? How? He will see us if we go out." "Then you must come up into my room. You will be as safe as in a temple, give you my word as a gentle man." "Let us go, then. I place full confidence in you, my friend." Once in his apartment, for greater security the young man barricaded the door. They both went up to the window, and through a slit in the shutter they saw M. Bonacieux talking with a man in a cloak. At the sight of this man D'Artagnan started, half drew his sword and spring toward the door. It was the man of Meun. "What are you going to do?" cried Mme. Bonacieux. "You will ruin us all." "But I have sworn to kill that man!" said D'Artagnan. "At this time your life is devoted and does not belong to you! In the name of the queen I forbid you to go. In my own name I beg you. But listen; they appear to be you speaking of me." M. Bonacieux had opened his door and waking the apartment empty, had returned to the man in the cloak, whom he had left alone for an instant. "She is gone," said he. "She must be gone back to the Louvre." "Is the young guardman at home?" I do not think he, but I will ask his servant." Bonacieux went into the house again, passed to D'Artagnan's door and knocked. No one answered. Porthes, to make a greater display, had that evening borrowed Panchet. As to D'Artagnan, he took care not to give the least sign of existence. At the moment the finger of Bonacieux sounded on the door the two young people felt their hearts bound within them. "There is nobly within," said Bonacieux. "Never mind. Let us walk into your apartment. We shall be letter there than in the doorway." "Oh," whispered Mme. Bonacieux, "we shall hear no more." "On the contrary," said D'Artagnan, "we shall hear the better." D'Artagnan raised the loose boards, spread a carpet, went down upon his knees and made a sign to Mme. Bonacieux to do as he did, stooping down toward the opening. "And you think that your wife"—said the unknown. "Is returned to the Loure. The news I brought you is valuable?" "Very, my dear Bonacieux. I don't attempt to deny it." "Then the cardinal will be pleased with me?" "No doubt he will. You are sure that in her conversation with you your wife mentioned no proper names?" "No; she only told me she wished to send me to London to further the interests of an illustrious personage." "Never mind, continued the man in the cloak. 'It was very silly of you not to have feigned to accept the mission. You would now be in possession of the letter. The state, which is now threatened, would be safe, and the cardinal would have given you letters of nobility." "Did be tell you so?" "Teen." "Be satisfied," replied Bonacieux. "My wife adores me, and there is still plenty of time." "What do you-mean by its being still time?" asked the man in the cloak. "I will go to the Louvre. I will ask for Mme. Bonacieux. I will tell her I have reflected upon the matter. I will renew the affair. I will obtain the letter and I will run directly to the cardinal." "Well, begone then! Make all possible haste. I will shortly come back to learn the result of your plan." The unknown went out. "Bane old fool!" said Mme. Bonacieux, addressing this affectionate epithet to her husband. A terrible bowling interrupted these reections of D'Artagaion and Mume. Bonacieux. It was her husband who had discovered the disappearance of his money bag and was screaming out, "thieves, thieves." "Oh," cried Mume. Bonacieux, "the will ruin the whole quarter." Boulanger cried for a long time, but an ount erase on account of their death did not secrete much notice in the Rue Fougain, looking that nobody came, he woe out. "Now he is gone, it is your turn to get out," said Mme. Remorseux. "Dearman, my friend, but, above all, pride, and think what you owe to the queen." "To her and to you!" cried D'Artagnan. "Be satisfied, lovely Coustance. I shall prove worthy of her gratitude. But shall I likewise return worthy of your love." The young woman only replied by the beautiful glow which mounted to her, cheeks. A few seconds after D'Artagnan went out in his turn, enveloped likewise in a large cloak, which ill concealed the sheath of a long sword. D'Artagnan went straight to the hotel of M. de Treville. He had reflected that in a few minutes the cardinal would be warned by this cursed unknown, who appeared to be his agent, and he judged, with reason, he had not a moment to lose. M. de Treville was in his saloon with his habitual court of gentlemen. D'Artagnan, who was known as a familiar of the house, went straight to his cabinet and sent word to him that he wished to see him upon an affair of importance. D'Artagnan had been there scarcely five minutes when M. de Treville entered the (the first glance and joy which he painted on his counterance the worthy captain plainly perceived that something fresh and extraordinary was on foot. "You will pardon me, I hope, for having disturbed you when you know the importance of my business," said Dale Brooks. "Break, then. I am attentive." "It concerns nothing less," said D'Artagnan, lowering his voice, "than the honor, perhaps the life, of the queen." "What do you say?" asked M. de Treville, glancing around to see if they were alone. "I say, monaster, that phano has rendered my master of a secret." "Is this great your own?" "In this secret your own?" No, monsieur. It is her majesty's. "Are you authorized to communicate it to me?" No, monsieur. "Why, then, are you about to betray it with respect to me?" "Why, then, are you I can do nothing, and I willaid that you would refuse me the favor I am come to ask if you were not acquainted with my object." "Keep your secret, young man, and tell me what you wish." "I wish you to obtain for me from M. Desessart leave of absence for a fortnight." "When?" "This very night." "You are leaving Paris?" "I am going on a mission." "May you tell me whither?" "To London." "Has any one an interest in preventing your arriving there?" "The cardinal, I believe, would give anything in the world to prevent my success." "And you are going alone?" "I am going alone." "The person you will not get beyond Bondy. You will be assassinated. In enterprises of this kind, in order that one may arrive, four must set out." "Ah, you are right, monsieur!" "D'Artagan. But you know Athos, Porthoe and Aramis, and you know, if I can dispose of them." "Without confiding to them the secret which I was not willing to know!" "We are sworn, once and forever, to implicit confidence and devotedness against all proof; besides, you can tell them that you have full confidence in me, and they will not be more incredulous than you." "I can send to each of them leave of absence for a fortnight, that is all, who, when wound still gives him incompetence to go to the waters of Torphos; to Torphos and Aramis to accompany their friend." "Thanks, monsieur; you are a hundred times kind!". "Begone, then, find them instantly and let all be done tonight. Hit! but first write your request to M. Desessart." "D'Artagnan drew up his request, and M. do Treville, on receiving it, assured him that by 2 o'clock in the morning the four leaves of absence should be granted. "Have the goodness to send mine to Athos' residence. I should dread some disagreeable encounter if I were to go home." "I will, Adlen, and a prosperous voyage." D'Artagnan's first visit was for Aramis. He found Aramis this evening sitting up, but melancholy and thoughtful. "After the two friends had been chatting a few instants a servant from M. do Treville entered bringing the leave of absence for Aramis. "What does all this mean?" asked Aramis. "Pack up all you want for a journey of a fortnight and follow me." "But I cannot leave Paris just now without knowing—" Aramis stopped. "Who told you there was a lady here?" replied Aramis, becoming as pale as death. "I saw her." "And you know who she is?" "Well, I think I can give a pretty good guess at least." "Then," said Aramis, "since you appear to know so many things, can you tell me what is become of that lady?" "I pretend that she is gone back to Town. She was in fear of being arrested." "Why did she not write to me then?" "Because she was afraid of compromising you." "Well, then, since she has left Paris and me, are more of me. I D'Aramis, nothing prevents me, and I am ready to follow you. You may we are going—" "By Alther residence now, and I beg As they wore out Aramis placed his hand upon the wrist of D'Artagnan and looked at him correctly. "You have not spoken of this lady!" said he. "To nobody in the world." "That's well." They found Athos holding his leave of absence in one hand and M. de Treville's note in the other. "Can you explain to me what this leave of absence and this letter which I have just received mean?" said the astonished Aramis; he asked, with as your health absolutely require it, that you should rest for a fortnight. Go then, and take the waters of Forces or any that may be more agreeable to you and which quickly as possible. Your affectionate DE TREVILLE. "Well, this leave of absence and that letter mean that you must follow me, Aramus." "To the waters of the Forges?" "There or elsewhere." "In the king's service?" "Either the king's or the queen's," said he. At that moment Forthos entered. "Here is a strange thing that has happened?" said he. "Since when, I wonder, in the munketeers, did they grant men leave of absence without its being asked for." "Since," said D'Artagnan, "they have friends who ask it for them." "Yes, we are going—" said Aramis. "The London, gentleman," said D'Artagnan. To Londont, cried Forthos. "And what are we going to do in London?" "That is what I am not at liberty to tell you, gentleman. You must trust to me." "But in order to go to London a man should have some money, and I have none." "Nor I," said Aramis and Porthos. "Well, I have," added D'Artagnan, pulling out his treasure from his pocket and placing it on the table. "There are in this bag 300 platos. Let each take 75, which will be quite enough to take us to London and back. Besides, we may be sure that all of us will not arrive at London." "What is this then, a campaign upon which we are entering?" "And a most dangerous one, I give you fair notice." "Ah, but! But if we do risk being killed," said Porthos, "at least I should like to know what for." "Is the king accustomed to give reasons? You need give yourselves no unawareness about that." D'Artagnan is right, said Arthos. D'Artagnan is right, as to follow you. When are we to go?" "Immediately," replied D'Artagnan. "Hold! Grimmed, Planchet, Monsqueton, Bazin" cried the four young men, calling their lacks. "Clean my boots and fetch the horses." Planchet, Grimmed, Monsqueton and Bazin set off at full speed. "First we go to Calais," said D'Artagnan. "That is the most direct line to London." "I am the bearer of a letter, that is all, I have not and I cannot make "There are in this bag 300 pistols. Let each take 75." three copies of that letter, because it is scaled. We must then, it appears to me, travel in company. This letter is here in this pocket." And he pointed to the pocket which contained the letter. "If I should be killed one of you must take it and pursue the route. If he be killed, it will be another's turn, and so on. Provided a single one arrived, that is all that is required." "Brave, D'Artagnan!" cried Athos. "We will join our four lackeys with pistols and musketoons. If they need an army out against us we will give battle, and the survivor, as D'Artagnan says, will carry the letter." "Will aid," cried Aramant. "I agree to attack you." "I agree to it, too," said Porthos. "It D'Artagnan approves of it. D'Artagnan, being bearer of the letter, is naturally the head of the enterprise. Let him decide, and we will execute." "Well," D'Artagnan, "I decide that we should adopt Athos' plan, and that we set off in half an hour." "Agreed!" abutted the three musketoers in churn. And every one, stretching out his hand to the bag, took his 75 piceon. CHAPTER XV. The Journey. AT 8 o'clock in the morning our your adventurers left Paris by the barrier K. Delaie. The For the simple reasons, however, the public, and the army, had been held at Chincheng. Both sides were repaired about a fount in the middle. They stood in need of brunches and allowed at the door of an inn. They entered the inn to not to mutilate the brunze, and to be themselves in residence to set off again in mischief. They received the course man and passed themselves at table. A gentleman, who had just served by the route of Damnerton, was posted at the same table and was taking his breakfast. He opened the conversation by taking of rain and fine weather. The travelers replied. He drank in their good health, and the travelers returned his politeness. But at the present Mosquetton came to announce that the horses were ready, and they were riding from little, the stranger proposed to Portheus to drink the health of the cardinal. Portheus replied that he asked no better if the stranger in his turn would drink the health of the king. The stranger cried that he acknowledged no other king but his eminence. Portheus told him he was drunk, and the stranger drew his sword. "You have committed a piece of felly," said Athos, "but it can't be helped. There is no drawing back. Kill the fellow and rejoin us as soon as you can." And all three mounted their horses and set out at a good pace, while Portheus was promising his adversary to perforate him with all the thrusts known in the fencing schools. And the travelers continued their route. At leavings they stopped two hours, and we to breathe their horses a little air, went for Portheus. At the end of the two hours, Portheus did not come and as they heard no news of him, they resumed their journey. At a league from Beauvais, where the road was confined between two high banks, they fell in with eight or ten men who were digging holes. Arumis, not liking to sell his boots, apostrophied them sharply. The laborers began to jeer the travelers, and by their insolence disturbed the equanimity even of the cool Athos, who urged on his horse against one of them. The men all immediately drew back to the ditch, from which each took a concealed musket. The result was that our seven travelers were outnumbered in weapons. Aramis received a ball, which passed through his shoulder, and Mouqueton another ball, which lodged in the fleshy part of the leg. Mouqueton alone fell from his horse, not because he was severely wounded, but because he judged the wound to be more serious than it really was. "It is an ambushade!" shouted D'Artagnan. "Don't waste a charge! Forward." Aramis, wounded as he was, seized the mane of his horse, which carried him on with the others. Mouqueton's horse rejoined him, and galloped by the side of his companions. They continued at their best speed for two hours, but at Grassecourt Aramis declared he could proceed no further. In fact, it required all the courtiers the concealed beneath his elbow format and polished manners to bear him so far. In fact, they were obliged to support him on his horse. They lifted him off at the door of a cabaret, left Basin with him and set forward again in the hope of sleeping at Amlens. "Well," said Athos as soon as they were again in motion, "reduced to two masters and Grimaud and Planchet." The travelers arrived at Amlens at midnight and alighted at the inn of the Golden Lily. The host had the appearance of as honest a man as any on earth. He wished to lodge the two travelers each in a charming chamber, but unfortunately these charming chambers were at the opposite extremities of the hotel, and D'Artagnan and Athos declined them. They declared they would sleep in the common chamber, each upon a mattress, which might be thrown upon the ground. They had just prepared their beds and barricated their door within when some one knocked at the yard shutter. In fact, it was Planchet and Grimand. "Grimand can take care of the horses," said Planchet. "If you are willing, gentlemen. I will sleep across your doorway upon a bundle of straw, and you will then be certain that nobody can come to you." Planchet installed himself across the doorway while Grimand went and shut himself up in the stable, undertaking that by 5 o'clock in the morning he and the four horses should be ready. At 4 o'clock in the morning there was a terrible riot in the stables. Grimand had tried to waken the stable boys, and the stable boys had set up him and beaten him. When they opened the window they saw the poor lady jumping. Planchet went down, into the yard and proceeded to middle the heroes. But the horses were all knocked up. Montezoune's horse, which had traveled for five or six hours without a rider the day before, alone might have been able to pursue the journey. But by an inexcavable error a veterinary surgeon, who had been sent over, as it were, bloodied, had been the host's house, had bed Montezoune's. This began to be annoying. Athos and D'Artagnan went set, white Planchet was sent to insult if there were not three horses to be sold in the neighborhood. At the door were three fresh, strong and fully equipped. Those would just have hated them. He acted when the master of them were and was informed that they had passed the night in the armerie and were then sitting with the master. Atheos emerged without the least disturb and took out two plaques to pay the MIL. The host took the money "I am taken!" shouted Athen with all the power of his length. "Go out, D'Artagena! Spur, queer, and he freed two philes. D'Artagena and Flanctet did not require twice bidding. They unfastened the two horses that were waiting at the door, leaped upon them, buried their spure in their sides and set off at fall gallop. "Do you know what has become of Athos?" asked D'Artagan of Planchet as they galloped on. "Ah, monastere," said Planchet. "I saw one fall at each of his shots, and he appeared to me through the glass door to be fighting with his sword with the others." "Brave Athos?" murmured D'Artagan. "Forward, Planchet, forward! You are a brave fellow!" Both, with free use of the spur, arrived at St. Omer without drawing bit. At St. Omer they breathed their horses with their bridles passed under their arms, for fear of accident, and ate a morsel in their hands, standing in the road, after which they departed again. At the gates of Calais D'Artagan bore a knife, under him and could not by any means be got up again, the blood flowing from both his eyes and his nose. There still remained. Planchet's horse, but after he stopped he remained quite still and could not be urged to move a step. Fortunately, as we have said, they were within a hundred paces of the city; they left their two nags upon the highroad and ran toward the port. Plannet called his master's attention to a gentleman who had just arrived with his lackey and preceded them by about fifty paces. They made all speed to come up to this gentleman, who appeared to be in great haste. His boots were covered with dust, and he inquired if he could not instantly cross over to England. "Nothing would be more easy," said the captain of a vessel ready to set sail, "but this morning an order arrived that no one should be allowed to cross without express permission from the cardinal." "I have that permission," said the gentleman, drawing a paper from his pocket; "here it is. Have you examined by the governor of port," said the captain, "and give me the preference." "Where shall I find the governor?" At his country house, Look, you may see it from here—at the foot of that little hill, that slated roof. "Very well," said the gentleman. D'Artagnan and Plannet followed the gentleman at a distance not to be noticed, but when he was out of the city D'Artagnan quickly came up with him just as he was entering a little wood. "Mondeur," said D'Artagnan, "you appear to be in great haste?" "No one can be more so, monsieur." "I am sorry for that," said D'Artagnan, "for as I am in great haste likewise, I wished to beg you to render me a service." "What service?" "I want that order of which you are the 'bearer, seeing that I have not one of my own and must have one." "Let me pass!" "You shall not pass." "My brave young man, I will blow out your brains. Hola, Lubin, my pistols!" "Planchet," called out D'Artagnan, "take care of the lackey—I will manage the master." Planchet, emboldened by the first exploit, sprang upon Lubin, and, being strong and vigorous, he soon got him on the broad of his back and placed his knee upon his breast. Seeing this, the gentleman drew his sword and sprang upon D'Artagnan, but he had more than he expected to deal with. In three seconds D'Artagnan had wounded him three times, exclaiming at each threat: "One for Athon, one for Portbos and one for Aramis!" At the third hit the gentleman fell heavily to the ground. D'Artagnan believed him to be dead or at least insensible and went toward him for the purpose of taking the order, but at the moment he stretched out his hand to search for the wounded man, who had not dropped his sword, plunged the point into his breast, crying: "And one for you! "And one for me! The best for the best!" cried D'Artagnan in a rage, nailing him to the earth with a fourth thrust through his body. This time the gentleman closed his eyes and flashed. D'Artagnan searched his pockets and took from one of them the order for the pamphlet. It was in the name of the Count de Warden. "Now," said Flancher, "let us go the Laken and bind him to a tree." This being properly done, they drew the Count de Warden close to his servant, had an night was approaching, and as the wounded man and the bound man were at some little distance within the word, it was evident they were likely to remain there till the next day. "And now," said D'Artagnan, "to the governor's house." "But you appear to me to be wounded," said Flancher. ed," said Planchet. "Oh that's nothing! Let us dispatch that, which is most pressing first, and we will attend to my wound afterward, besides, I don't think it seems a good idea." And they both set forward as fast as they could toward the country home of the worthy functionary. The Count de Warden was summoned, and D'Arkham was introduced. "You have an order signed by the curmudgeon!" "Too, moreover," replied D. Aphrodite. And D'Artagan, given below his family and in every way, the most intimate description of the Court do Warden. "We will keep a story leaked for him, and if we lay hands upon him his enemies may be healed he shall be reconstituted to Paris under a good court." The governor signed the passport and delivered it to D'Artagan, who lost so time in useless compliance, the governor, bowed and departed. When once out he and Planchet set off as fast as they could and by making a deceive avoided the wood and restored the city by another gate. Five minutes after they were on board. And it was time, for they had scarcely called half a league when D'Artagan saw a flash and heard a detonation. It was the cannon which announced the closing of the port. He had now leisure to look to his wound. Fortunately, as he had thought, it was not dangerous. The point of the sword had met with a rib and glanced along the bone. D'Artagan was worn out with fatigue. A mattress was laid upon the deck for him. He throw himself upon it and fell fast asleep. At 10 o'clock the vessel cast anchor in the port of Dover, and in a few hours D'Artagan and Planchet wore in a plaster. D'Artagan did not know London. He was not acquainted with one word of English, but he wrote the name of Buckingham on a piece of paper, and every one to whom he showed it pointed out to him the way to the duke's mansion. The duke was at Windsor hunting with the king. D'Artagnan inquired for the confidential valet of the duke, who, having accompanied him in all his voyages, spoke French perfectly well. He told him that he came from Paris on an affair of life and death and that he must speak with his master instantly. The confidence with which D'Artagnan spoke convinced Patrick, which was the name of this minister. He ordered two horses to be saddled and himself went as guide to the young guardman. As for Plauchet, he had been lifted from his horse as stiff as a rush. The poor lad's strength was almost exhausted. D'Artagnan seemed to be made of iron. On their arrival at the castle they inquired for the duke. "Whom must I announce to my lord duke?" asked D'Artrick. "The young man who one evening sought a quarrel with him on the Pont Neuf, oppose the Samaritane." Patrick galloped off, reached the duke and announced to him in the terms directed that a messenger awaited him. Circumstances of the opposing something was going on in France, rode straight up to D'Artagnan. Patrick keeping in the background. "No misfortune has happened to the queen!" cried the duke. "Take this letter," said D'Artagnan. "From her majesty!" said Buckingham. "What is this rent?" showing D'Artagnan a place where it had been pierced through. "Ab. ab!" said D'Aragnan, "I did not see that; it was the sword of the Count de Wardes that made that hole when he ran it into my breast. It is only a scratch." "Just heaven—awhat have I read!" cried the duke. "Patrick, remain here, or, rather, join the king, wherever he may be, and tell his majesty that hereby beg him to excuse me, but an affair of the greatest importance calls me to London. Come, monieur, come." And both set off toward the capital at full gall. S they rode along the duke endeavored to draw from D'Artagnan, not what had passed, but what D'Artagnan himself knew. The horses went like the wind, and in an incredibly short time they were in London. On entering the court of his house, Buckingham sprang from his horse, and, without taking heed of the noble animal, threw the bridle on the horse and sprang toward the vestibule. The D'Artagnan had some trouble in laying up with him. He arrived in a bed chamber which was at once a miracle of taste and of splendor. In the alcove was a door in the tapestry, the duke opened with a small gold key, D'Artagnan found himself with the duke in a small chapel covered with a tapestry of Persian silk worked with gold and brilliantly lit with a vast number of wax lights. Over a species of altar and beneath a canopy of blue velvet, surmounted by white and red plumes, was a full length portrait of Anne of Austria, perfect in resemblance. Upon the altar and beneath the portrait was the casket containing the diamond studs. The duke approached the altar, fell on his knees as a priest might have done before a crucifix, and opened the casket. "There," said he, drawing from the casket, a large bow of blue ribbon all sparkling with diamonds. "Here," said he, "are the precious studs which I have taken an anth should be buried with me. The queen gave them to me, the queen requires them back again." Then he began to kiss, one after the other, those dear studs with which he was about to part. All at once he nuzzled a terrible cry. "All is lost! All is lost! Two of the studs are wanting! There are but two of them!" "Can you have both them, missed?" "They have been made, missed the --- Duke, "and it is the cardinal who has doelt me this blow. See! The rib- bons which held them have been cut with scissors." "If miltord suspects they have been stolen perhaps the person who stole them still has them." "Let me reflect," said the duke. "The only time I wore these studs was at a ball given by the king a week ago at Windsor. The Countess de Winter, with whom I had had a P. The Duke Approached the Altar and Fell on His Knees. quarrel, became reconciled to go at that ball. That reconciliation was nothing but the resentance of a feel our woman. I have never seen her from that day. The woman is an agent of the cardinal's. When is this ball to take place? "On Monday next." "On Monday next," Still five days before us. That's more time than we want. Patrick?" cried the duke, opening the door of the chapel, "Patrick!" His confidential valet, who had that moment returned, appeared at his call "My Jeweller and my secretor!" Although the jeweler had been mentioned first, it was the secretary that first made his appearance, simply because he lived in the mansion. He found Buckingham situated at a table in his bedchamber writing orders with his own hand. "Master Jackson," said he, "go instantly to the lord chancellor and tell him that I desire him to execute these orders. I wish them to be promulgated immediately." "But my lord, if the lord chancellor interrogates me upon the motives which may have led your grace to adopt an extraordinary measure, what reply shall I make?" "That such is my pleasure." "Will that be the answer," replied the secretary, smiling, "which he must transmit to his majesty if by chance his majesty should have the curiosity to know why no respect is to leave any of the ports of Great Britain?" "You are right. Master Jackson," replied Buckingham. "He will say, in that case, to the king that I am determined on war and that this measure is my first act of hostility against France." The secretary bowed and retired. "We are safe on that side," said Buckingham, turning toward D'Artagnan. "If the studs are not yet gone to Paris they will not arrive till after you. I have just placed an embargo on all vessels at present in his majesty's ports, and without particular permission not one can lift an anchor." D'Artagnan looked at him with suspaction. "Yeah," said he. "yes, Anne of Austria is my true queen. Upon a word from her I would betray my country. I would betray my king." The goldsmith entered. He was an Irishman, one of the most skilful of his craft. "Master O'Reilly," said the duke to him, leading him into the chapel, "look at these diamond studs and tell me what they are worth apiece." "Flifteen hundred pistoles each, my lord." "How many days would it require to make two studs exactly like them? You see, there are two wanting." "A week, my lord." "I will give you 3,000 pistoles each for two if I can have them by the day after tomorrow." "My lord, you shall have them." "You are a jewel of a man, Master O'Reilly, but that is not all—the studs cannot be trusted to anybody—it must be effected in the palace." "I impossible, my lord. There is no one but myself can execute them so that the new may not be distinguished from the old." "Therefore, my dear Master O'Reilly, you are my prisoner. Name to me much of your workman as you stand in need of and point out the tools they must bring." The goldsmith wrote to his wife, charging her to send his most skillful apprentice, an assortment of diamonds, of which he have the names and the weight, and the necessary tools. Buckingham led the goldsmith to the chamber destined for him and which he the end of which he was from. With a continual of each time, when the order to admit nobody upon any premature but his valet to chamber, Patricia. Buckingham designed D'Artagnan a chamber adjitting his own. He wished to have the young man at hand, not that he at all misinstructed him, but for the sake of having some one to whom he could constantly talk about the queen. In one hour after the ordinance was published in London that no vessel bound for France should leave the ports—not even the packet boat with letters. In the eyes of everybody this was a declaration of war between the two kingdoms. On the day after the morrow, by 11 o'clock, the two diamond studs were finished. They were imitated perfectly to look like the others. Buckingham immediately called D'Artagnan. "Here," said he to him, "are the diamond studs that you came to fetch and be my witness that I have done all that human power could do." "Be satisfied, miltor; I will tell that I have seen. But does your grace mean to give me the studs without the casket?" "The casket would only incumber you. Besides, the casket is the more precious from being all that is left to me. You will say that I keep it. And now, how shall I ever acquit myself of the debt I owe you?" D'Artagnan colored up to the eyes. "Let us understand each other, miltor, replied he. "What I have done has been for the queen and not at all for your grace. And, still further, for one who is my lady, as the queen is yours." "I understand," said the duke, smiling, "and I even believe that I know that other person. It is"— "Milord, I have not nauted her!" "That is true," said the duke, "and it is to this person I am bound to discharge my debt of gratitude." "You have said, miltord, for truly, at this moment when there is question of war I confess to you that I see nothing in your grace but an enemy, whom I should have great pleasure in meeting on the field of battle, all which, however, will not prevent me from executing to the very point my commission or from laying down my life." D'Artagnan bowed to the duke and was retiring. "Well, you are going away in that manner! But where and how?" "I had forgotten that England was an island, and that you were the king of it." "Go to the port, ask for the brig Sund and give this letter to the captain. He will convey you to a little port, where certainly you are not expected, and which is ordinarily only frequented by fishermen." "What is the name of that port?" "St. Valery. But listen: When you have arrived there you will go to a mean lion, without a name and without a sign, a mere fisherman's hut. You cannot be mistaken; there is but one." "And then?" "You will ask for the host and will repeat to him the word 'Forward!' That is the password. He will give you a ready handled horse and will point out to you the road you are to take. You will find in this manner four relays on your route. If you will give at each of these relays your address in Paris the four horses will follow you thither. You already know two of them. They were those we rode on, and the others are not inferior to them. These horses are equipped for the field. However proud you may be, you will not refuse to accept one of them and to request your three companions to accept the others. That is in order to make war against us besieged." D'Artagnan made his way as quickly as possible to the port. Fifty vessels were waiting to set out in momentary expectation of the removal of the prohibition. When passing alongside of one of them D'Artagnan fancied he perceived on board of it the lady of Meung, the same whom the unknown gentleman had styled milady and who D'Artagnan had thought was so handsome; but, thanks to the side of the river and a fair wind, his vessel passed so quickly that he had little more than a glimpse of her. The next day, about 9 o'clock in the morning, he landed at St. Valery. D'Artagnan went instantly to the inn and pronounced to the host the word "Forward." The host instantly led him to the stable, where a ready-medled horse awaitted him. "I want to know the route I am to follow," said D'Artagnan. "Go from hence to Blaney and from Blaney to Neufchatel. At Neufchatel go to the hotel of the Horse O'd, give the password to the host, and you will find, as you have done here, a horse ready saddled." "Have I anything to pay?" demanded D'Artaigan. "Everything is paid," replied the host, "and liberally. Begone, then, and may God conduct you safely." "Amen!" cried the young man and set out at full gallop. It was the same at Neufchatel, at Becuis and at Pontolise. At the last named place he changed his horse for the last time and at 9 o'clock galloped into the yard of M. de Treville's hotel. He had performed nearly sixty leagues in little more than twelve hours. The most ancient destroyer of books known was the Babylonian king, Nabussear, who in the third century B.

The wash day is often spoken of as "blue Monday" because it is usually a day of hard work, followed by days of recovery from such aches as woman thinks her due. Now it has been definitely proved, says J. Howard Brick, instructor in medical correction gymnastics in the Samaritan hospital of Germantown, in the Mother's Magazine, that washing clothes has nothing to do with making a woman feel gloomy, but that the way she does it all has to do with her after health. The most common complaint of women after a day's washing is the terrible backache which almost compels them to go to bed. This is sometimes followed by headaches in the middle of the head and behind the eyes, which often last for days. Now, what is the cause of these after effects? Certainly ordinary work should not entail such after sufferings. The whole cause is the position of the woman while working over the tuba. The majority of wash benches are too low, and the woman must stoop over while at work. This causes the muscles over the abdomen to relax, which allows the stomach, liver, kidneys and, in fact, all the organs to fall forward out of their normal positions, causing the terrible after effects of such work. The proper position before a tub is a perfectly erect position. Another point of value in the erect position is the fact that the wringing of the clothes is much easier since the whole force of the arm can be used without having to exert an effort to keep the erect position. The lifting of tube is an entirely unnecessary labor. When they are not of the stationary kind they can be emptied by means of a siphon. School Bag Carrying Every mother should initiate that her child be not forced to carry a heavy bag to school. If it is necessary to carry the bags they should not be carried on the shoulder, so that it is possible for one side of the body to get shorter than the other side. When this is allowed to happen the spine become affected and many are the sicknesses that grow from this seeming little mistake. The bag should be carried in the hand and often shifted from one hand to the other, often enough to prevent any tendency to stumbling either side of the body. This can be explained to any sensible child, and if he does not head the suggestion the very fact that the bag has no shoulder harness will mitigate the trouble. However, most teachers these enlightened days have the school bag question in mind, and the bags are not so heavily laden. The carrying of heavy matches or bags every day is certainly a great mistake and should not be allowed to continue for any length of time. Peteonia Brothers The panther on the plains of Patagonia gets an near a hord of gunnacons it can, then lies down behind a paw on its back.

Up jumps the panther and licks at the airnacons back and bends its paw. Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Dair Grower and Restorer, 616 N 1st Street. Richmond, Va.

We have all heard that insanity is more prevalent among farmers' wives than among women of other communities. This is explained on the ground of the monotony of the life. Having no interest, the woman in the country is likely to grow morbid and eventually to lose her grip on the same things of life, says Dolly Madison. One of the most practical remedies for the monotony and loneliness of farm life may be found in the formings of a club. This, in the beginning, may not be an ambitions affair. A half dozen women may get together and decide to do some one thing for their community which shall improve it, and which will give them an interest in the working out of such improvement. There is nothing which makes women feel that life is worth while like a sense of being in touch with big movements. In the city we bear much-of "neighborhood houses" or. "friendly" organizations and other social centers which are intended to uplift and to bring about a better understanding between the fortunate and the unfortunate. There is great need for neighborhood houses in the country, but it is on different lines from those pursued by the social settlement. In the country, poverty, is rarely, the reason for loneliness. It is more likely to be work which keeps a woman tied to a treadmill. The farmers wife may make her club a place in which shall be discussed her own problems, those of the school life of her children, besides certain educational improvements. The question of overwork for farm women may be solved by the co-operation of the club in hiring specialized help. There will be more enthusiasm over vegetable gardens when there is somebody with whom to compare notes. Books and magazines may be exchanged, and the problem of high prices may be met by ordering in wholesale quantities and sharing with other members. Each neighborhood must, of course, work out its club plans along the most practical lines possible, but I know of no better example of what a club if this class may become than the history of one in the far west where the life of the community revolves around a certain house which was bought by the farmer's wives of that section. It is a country club, not in the suburban smart set scene, but in being the practical center for the boys and girls and the men and women from adjoining farms. Here the young people play tennis, here the men meet to discuss rural problems, and here the women give afternoon teas and bring together the lonely souls, who without this little house set at the crossroads might be left to languish.

Seekers after novelty will find that the preceding fancy is for fine hawk and lance in such table accessories as the table center or dolley. The cloth of damask whiteness is not broken by a spot of color except that supplied by floral decoration. The dolley may be simple or extremely decorative, but it must be of virgin whiteness. The table center of fillowy silk or chiffon is not hourly such a fashionable form of decoration as the center of lace and lawn, which lies like a disfiguring spot of embroidery to relieve the plain impery of the table, being the island on which sweet palm blossoms grow out of fine stemmed glasses or from silvery bowls. There is opportunity for fine needle craft in the creation of the dolley, doll, and some of the most artistic examples of fine work are produced by enthusiastic needlework of today. To Throw Hair Away. If the hair which is generally called "combines" is not being collected for any purpose and is going to be thrown away, wrap it in tissue paper or old envelopes and then throw it in the trash basket.

(State Oil Station) Balkan Forces Are Fighting Their Way to Objective Points in Enemy's Territory. The armies of Servia, Bulgaria and Greece continue to clear their way to their main objective points, the Turkish fortresses of Uskup, Adrianeople and Servio, the last of these three a Turkish town on the Grecian frontier. Greek warships have been bombarding the Turkish port of Prevaea. Prevaea is situated at the entrance of the Gulf of Arta, the opposite side of which is Greek territory. Greek armies have crossed the Turkish frontier at two points. In Epirus, at the western end, they have occupied the heights of Grimbovo, while at the eastern end they are pursuing the Turkish troops to their base at Servio, where an important battle is expected to be fought; and the taking of, which by the Greeks would carry them appreciably nearer to the Monastir and Saloniki road. The Servian armies are probably having the hardest fighting at the present moment. They are operating toward Uskpist and Pristina and further north in the district of Novi Bazar, and have to contend not only against Turkish regulars, but also against the Arnauts, who are fierce fighting Albaian tribesmen. One of their armies has advanced as far as the outskirts of Kuananova, the principal town between the Servian frontier and Uskup. The Servians have secured possession of the mountain pass leading to Pristina. No news of importance has come from the Bulgarian frontier, and this leads military authorities to suggest that King Ferdinand will not attempt to rush the fortress of Adrianople, but will mask it and move round it to the east or the west. The reported intention of the Bulgarian army to give Adrianople the goby and to had direct for Constantinople is dismissed as impracticable by military men. The distance is the same as that from Dalny to Mukden, in Manchuria, which took the Japanese army a year to cover. The town of Kirk-Kilcesed is still held by the Turks, although it was rumored that the Bulgarians had taken the outer positions. This, however, lacks confirmation. The western Bulgarian army, like the Servian armies, is fighting against large bodies of tribesmen, assisted by Turkish artillery, and from all accounts there has been some stiff skirmishing, in which the Bulgarians have been victorious. The warfare in this region is of a merciless character, as the Pomaks, or Bulgarian Mussulman tribesmen, are religious fanatics. The Montenegrin army apparently is inactive at present. 200 Turks Killed In Wreck. A Turkish troop train, which was bound for the front, was wrecked and 200 soldiers were killed, according to word received in Berlin from Saloniki. Two reports were received. One was that the train had been derailed and rolled down an embankment, and another that it had been wrecked by Bulgarian spies. Servians Kill 2000 Tribesmen. More than. 2000 Arnaut tribesmen were killed by the Servian artillery in a fight which took place near Merdare and Kurushumil, in southern Serbia. The Servian artillery did extreme havoc among the tribesmen before they retreated into the hills. FOUR COLLEGIANS ILL Serious Fear For One Swarthmore Girl With Ptownale Poisoning. Four students of Swarthmore college, near Philadelphia, were confined to their beds; suffering from ptownale poisoning. One of them, Miss Emily Livesey, of Nerristown, was reported in so serious a condition as to cause fears for her life. The college authorities have started an investigation with a view to ascertaining just what article of food contained the supposed poisoned matter. "Lifer" Killed Attempting to Escape. William Barnegraft, who, was returned a week ago after he had escaped from the penitentiary in Columbus, O., by crawling through a sewer, was shot and killed while attempting to escape over the wall. He was serving a life sentence for murder. Gunboat Rums Ashers The gunboat Nashville, with expansion and supplies for the warships in Mississippi waters, is reported ashore near Bucc Bight Island, near Norfolk, Va. Navy troops have been sent to help maintenance. Entrance to Grounds at Bagamore Hill Forbidden to All But Physicians and Friends of the Colonel. "It's mighty good to be home again," said Colonel Roosevelt when he arrived at Bagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N. Y., from Chicago. A week of absolute rest is all that is required, in the opinion of his physicians, to put Colonel Roosevelt in the best of condition. At the end of that time, if he follows the strict regime which has been planned for him, it is expected that he will be able to take up the campaign in its closing days. While a week has been set as the period of absolute rest, it was explained that for a considerably longer time Colonel Roosevelt must avoid hard work and that it will be impossible for him to attempt to make any speeches. Several weeks will be required for the complete healing of the wound and the knitting of the fractured rib. A bulletin on the former president's condition given out at the Progressive headquarters in New York said: "Rest and quiet are essential to him to avoid the possibility of wound infection. While Colonel Roosevelt is extremely anxious to take up the work of the campaign at the end of the week we are unable at this time to say that this will be possible." The bulletin was signed by Dr. Joseph A. Blake, Dr. George A. Brewer, Dr. Alexander Lambert and Dr. Scurry L. Terrell. The calling in of Dr. Blake and Brewer after the arrival of the Roosevelt party at Sagamore Hill caused reports to be circulated that the colonel's condition was not all that had been hoped for. Six guards were stationed on the Roosevelt grounds and entrance to the property was forbidden to all persons except members of the medical staff caring for Colonel Roosevelt or friends who had made appointments by telephone. The guards were attired in the garb of workmen, and at significant bulge in the clothing of each one indicated that he was armed. No explanation was given out. When he arrived at Sagamore Hill the colonel's wound was dressed and be went to bed immediately, with instructions to remain quiet all day. The physicians said the wound showed no ill effects from the trip. Arrived at home, the colonel, expiring William E. Bayles, one of his gardeners, saluted him with; "Hello, there, Billy." Billy, Ram Amos, the negro butler, met the party at the door and the colonel smiled a "hello, Ralph," to him. "Say, it's good to get home after that stay in the hospital," the colonel remarked to one of the doctors. Scores of school children had "chipped," in their pennies and bought a big wreath of flowers to be placed in the colonel's room. The Oyster Bay children all, know and like Colonel Roosevelt, and some of them played "hookey" so as to be on the ground when the colonel arrived. The Oyster Bay children were not the only ones who sent flowers to the colonel. The home-coming was a gala event at Oyster Bay. A number of store keepers closed up shop, so they could give their entire time to the celebration of the safe arrival of their distinguished neighbor. BOY ENDS LIFE OVER GIRL 13-Year-Old Girl Flees From Lad Who Shoots Himself. "I want to conquer the world," wrote fifteen-year-old Toby Tyson. "I want to conquer the world, and I want my Alvah, too." "Having made known his ambition, young Toby went to the home of thirteen-year-old Alvah Ross, of Brooklyn, with a loaded revolver in his pocket. Alvah, hearing him at the door of the flat, dug up the fire escape, and the boy, who may or may not have intended to kill her, shot himself in the head. He was taken to the Holy Family hospital, where he died three hours later. Toby had known Alvah Ross, a pretty, flaxen-haired child, about three years. Alvah was a chum of Toby's sister Gladya, who died two years ago. The boy appears to have become deeply infatuated with his playmate. Fined $100 For Sending Obecene Mall A nominal Sue of $100 was imposed in the federal court on Mr. Henry Dolan, of Susquehanna, near Scranton, Pu, when she pleaded no contendere to the charge of sending a raft of obecene letters through the malia to her neighbor. Judge Witmer pressed her to tell why she had sent the letters, but she would offer no explanation. Olyas Goln. Then Killa Self. After giving all the money he had in his pockets to Gospel Herald workers on Main street, in Stroudsburg, Pa., Dayton Ryman, twenty-six years of age, of Columbia, N. J., committed suicide by shooting himself in the right breast. He listened to the preaching and then went home and took his life. Three bets were made in Wall street, New York city: Fire hundred dollars even that Roosevelt will carry Pennsylvania; $150 even that Roosevelt will bet Taft; $200 to $60 that WJ one defends Roosevelt. HUMAN RIGHTS GO ON! "Friends, I tell you I am not thinking of my own success; I am not thinking of my life. I believe in the Progressive movement.

This photo of Schrank was taken in the Milwaukee office and is the very latest one of him. Schrank said he was thirty-six years old, but he looks older, and is supposed to be about forty-three. Schrank Wanta Bullet That Hit T. R. John Schrank, who attempted to kill Theodore Roosevelt in Milwaukee on Monday night, is, as much unruffled as ever. It was intimated that the reason for having the prisoner's ball increased from $7,000 to $15,000 was the result of a plan of certain moving picture men to have him released and placed under heavy guard long enough to obtain a series of picture films. District Attorney Zabel said all efforts in this direction would avail nothing. For the first time since he was incarcerated Schrank asked hom Colonel Roosevelt was. When told his condition was favorable, Schrank asked where the colonel had been shot and if the bullet had been found. "The bullet belongs to me," said the prisoner. "I have made my will and bequeathed the bullet to the New York Historical society, with a request that it be placed on exhibition in the rotunda of the state capitol at Albany. My property in New York I have willied to my mother in Germany." When asked again is he was sorry for having shot the colonel. Schrank said he was not; that he considered he had done only his duty. Farmer Eats Himself to Geoth. John Milva, a farmer, aged sixty-five years, residing at Stetley, near Potterville, Pa., literally ate himself to death at a hotel. The meal served to him testing good, he continued to eat until he had masticated food which would make a meal for four ordinary men. A few minutes after gorging himself Milva fell over dead. An examination by Coroner Margo showed the rupture of several organs as the result of the big meal. The coroner said that a younger man, whose shoes were more elastic, might have survived the strain.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark vii, 31, to viii, 10—Memory Verses, 34, 31—Golden Text, Mark vii, 37—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, where He had comforted the mother's heart and honored and commended her faith. He returned to the sea of Chalke, a journey of forty or fifty miles, nothing is said of the journey. How little we think of His long walks from one part of the country to another. It is easy to travel in our day, and there is a vast amount of it done, but very few do it on foot and for Him. Yet I do know some missionaries who are very like Him in this respect. Verses 12 to 17 of our lesson are recorded only by Mark and tell of the healing of a deaf and dumb man. Some are dumb because they cannot speak and others are dumb because they will not speak. 1. 7.9. All need that which our Lord commended in Acts 1. 8; see a result in Acts 1v. 21. All may come unto Him, and He knows at once a right way for each. His way with this particular man was unique, but it must have been the right way for him. He took him aside from the multitude. He often takes us aside that He may cause us to hear or see or know something He could not otherwise teach us. It is blessed to be taken aside with Him. I like the verse which says that "we should live together with Him" (f. Thess. v. 10). We have read of many being healed by touching Him or the heem of His garment, but see His fingers on this man's ears and tongue, and instantly he could hear and speak plainly. What the power in His touch or in the words "he bursed," or in both? More important for me to be able to say that He hath touched me and bath spoken to me, and taught me to say "He hath done all things well." Just here Matthew records that He went up into a mountain and sat down, and great multitudes came to Him bringing the lame, blind, dumb, malmed and others and cast them at His feet, and He healed them, and they glorified the God of Israel (Matt. xv, 30, 31). When Israel came out of Egypt there was not one feeble among their tribes, and when the kingdom comes the inhabitant shall not say, "I am sick." "There shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain." "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat." (Ps. cv, 57; Isa. xxlll; 21; silx, 10; lvv, vii, 10; xxl, 4). Do you wonder that Jesus told them of such a kingdom as He fed them and healed them? What can we think of those who know of such a kingdom and are doing nothing to make it known to others who might be glad to become inheritors of it if they only knew about it and knew how to become help to it? Returning to the record in Mark, we read that the multitudes had been with Him three days, with nothing to eat and some had come long distances, so He had compassion upon them and said to the disciples: "If I send them away fasting they will faint by the way." Did He really care and does He care if we are feast and weary? Oh, yes. He cared: I know he cares. It matters to Him even about sparrows, and he clothes the lilies. The disciples seem surprised at His remarks and ask. Whence can a man satisfy these with bread here in the wilderness? Well, that depends upon the man. An ordinary man could not, but who is this man? Had they forgotten that so recently they had taken food from His hands to more than 5,000 people and had seen Him control and subdue a great storm? Yes. It is the old story of Ps. Ixxiii: "They forgot His works and His wonders that He had showed them. They said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?" Having ascertained that they had seven leaves and a few small fishes, He took them and gave thanks and broke them and gave to the disciples to set before the people, and they did all eat and were filled. He took what they had and used it an on the fortiere occasion, though He might have rained it from Heaven (Pa. lxzvli. 26). The poor widow had a pot of oil, and He multiplied that. Another widow had a little meal and oil and He multiplied that. He can create out of nothing, but He seems to love, to take what we have and increase it. He wants it all given over to Him, as those and the lad gave all into his hands, as He himself gave all to all of Him. He has provided a full and complete eternal redemption, which He gives freely to every one willing to be baptized. Then He also gives who have suffered Him, and to whom He gives all to them, to furnish all the things have that they may become His disciples (Bom, vi. 22; John 1, 12; Luke xiv, 33), to be used by Him as he will. He is all fullness, the fullness of the God head bodily, and we may be filled by Him for the benefit of others (Col. 1, 19; II, 9, 10). HALLOWEEN FUN. How to Arrange Jolly Fortune Telling Games For Oct 31. Fortune telling is always in favor with the young people—and the older ones, too—and when one is not skilled in reading palms or in telling fortune with cards the following plan furnishes much amusement for a crowd: One of the girls in the party is dressed as a witch and sits at a table or in a little impvised but in one corner of the room, with her braces stick beside her. Her black cat, to which she appeals for help in telling the fortunes is also there. The fortunes consist of questions and answers. The which has a list of questions with ten answers for each one. When one of the party comes to have his fortune told she asks him these questions and bids him answer with some number from 1 to 10; then she consults her cat, or, in other words, the paper in her lap, and reads the answer opposite the number he gives. The questions and answers may be as original and varied as one likes, and when all the guests are well known someunning answers may be prepared. One list, which answers both serious and humorous, is as follows: What is your aim in life? What quality do you most admire in a man-or girl? What is your disposition? What do you most dislike? What is to be the occupation of your life partner? An amusing game is guessing profiles. These may be made by having each guest sit for a moment in a darkened room with a light at one side throwing the shadow of his face on a sheet. The profiles may be traced off quickly by holding a thin paper up to the sheet and when every one has been taken the profiles are cut out and numbered and pinned up around the room. Each guest is given a pen and paper and writes down the names of all he can guess. The guessing is not as easy as one might imagine, and some fraught mistakes are made. To the one who has the most correct list of answers a choice of the profiles is given as a souvenir. HOW TO LAUNDER SOILED CORSETS. Wash your own corsets at home when soiled. If there are heavy stools at the side take these out and then seek the car seat, cord and all in a thick soils for several hours. Take out the cord and put each half of the corse against the scrubbing board and wash it with a brush and very strong soils. If the dirt clings at edges of the corse is badly stained with perspiration put a little ammonia in the water. Scrub always up and down the depth of the corse, for the sidewheel rubbing will get it out of shape. Rinse it in ammoniated water, then blue it slightly and bring it on the line by the bottom edge of the two halves. If it does not come out milky white with the one washing and drying, wet it again and bleach it on the grass. HOW TO MAKE PRIZES. Useful Hint For the Girl Who Gives Card Parties. The hostess in search of pretty card prizes can make the following novelties if she carries to take the trouble: An inexpensive prize can be made of a yard of shadow insertion seven or eight inches wide. Each end is drawn into a big twoy ring to weight the lace and hold it in place when thrown round the neck to protect a blouse from the coat collar. A variation of this lace strip is to use smaller rings and attach to them a ruffle of lace to match the insertion. The strip can then be taken around the neck as a stock, tied in front and used to make a Dutch necked blouse becoming when worn with a coat. The weighted ends avoid the use of pinning. One hostess bought enough silk at a sale to make half a dozen silk klimonos of a simple pattern. She will bind them with bias folds of the silk, put on with a hoose chain stitch in white rope silk. This gives a finishing touch at little cost and not much work. These klimonos are to be prizes at a bridge party to be given in honor of a bride. The hostess who paints can make in expensive and popular prizes by doing sets of dinner and tally cards in unique design. These may be for holiday occasions, as for Halloween. Thanksgiving or Christmas, but are safer when not specialized. How to Prepare Invalid Food. In preparing food for an invalid undeasoned rather than overseason it as the patient's taste is abnormal, and he may not care for as much seasoning as usual. More can be added if wanted, but it cannot be taken out if there is too much. It is no doubt this matter of seasoning that is often responsible for the failure of the sick to enjoy their food. How to Use Chair Time How to Use Chair Tips. Chair tips, which keep the chair from scratching the floor and prevent rubes are almost variable when attached. A babe is hored in the leg of the chair and a spring socket inserted in it; the tip is hored in place by a nail, which slips into the socket, and it can be chained when worn out.

MAKE YOUR OWN APPLICATION Tale of the Hungry Wolf and the Cau- cious Goat—The Thief Who Was Tee Truthful—The Tender Hearted but Tactless Bull. B. M. QUAD. THE Wolf, having made up his mind that he would cut the Goat, left his hair in the forest and made his way to the farmyard, where he soon escaped the Goat lying on the roof of a shed. "I have come," began the Wolf, "to propose a truce between us. I can see no reason why we should be enemies." "Not a reason," replied the Goat, though he knew of a dream. "We could have lots of fun playing together." "Heaps of fun." "And you could wander in the green wood any time and I could come here and feel at home." "I'm on to all you say." "But that there may be no cause of distrust between us," continued the Wolf as he smiled in a gullible way. "I have a suggestion to make. I will have my teeth pulled out, and you shall have your horns sawed off." "That's the ticket, and I'm agreeable." replied the Ghost. auff. "Replaint the your. I expected from a fair mined stint like him. Will you now ask your master to use the saw on your house?" "After he has knocked your teeth out with the ax." "But I am willing you should have the first show." "And I feel that way toward you." "You seem to mistrust me!" said the Wolf as he began to bristle up. "And you doubt me!" replied the Gont as he rattled his horns. "Say, now, but you can't work me for a hat." "And I'm no tenderfoot." "You hypocrite." "You villain." Moral.--It's the other fellow who ought to let us take advantage of him. The Fox and the Heron. One day, after having eaten all of fish, the Heron went to sleep, as usual, standing on one leg and her head under one wing. After a time the Fox came along, and he would have made her his prey at once except that she was standing in the water many feet from shore and he dreaded. A ed a wetting. In this emergency he brought cunning to his aid and called out: "Ah, there, you beautiful bird, but if there is anything along the coast of Florida to compare with you I'd like to see it! Gracilous, what a leg—what a body—what plumage?" "So you are rather stuck on my shape? asked the Heron us she gave her wings a dutter. "My dear, I am literally gone on you!" replied the Fox. "Won't you please come ashore and let me get a closer look? Your heart may be given to another, but I will still convince you of my admiration." "Save your breath and trot along. Mr. Reynard. I am not ready to be eaten yet." The Fox saw that flattery would not do, and after seeming to be busy with a conch shell for a few minutes he observed: "I am sorry that the Flamingoes should have no little consideration for your feelings, but you must not mind what they say." "And what do the Flamingoes say?" "That you lost one of your legs in a trap. I didn't believe it till I saw you standing there. It is a great misfortune that you will be a cripple for the rest of your life." "The Flamingoes lied, and here's a proof of it" exclaimed the Heron as she dropped her other foot into the water. "Ab! So you have a wooden leg already!" "It is my own. See!" "Yes, it looks like a leg, and of course I do not doubt your word, but" "Oh, you want to see me walk on the beach with it to make sure! Well, now, is there anything wooden about that leg?" Moral...The Fox got her, of course, and the moral request to be inculcated In that human nature has its weak spots and one has only to find them to come out ahead of the game. The Trial and the Punishment. One day as the Punishment was working in the field a Traveler came along the road, hailed and said: reap, and I do not ask for great wages." "Are you a man who speaks the truth?" was asked. "I am. Never in my life have I told a lie." "Truth is mighty." "She is." "And she will prevail." "She will, and this leads me to say that I am a reformed thief. Some men would lie about it, but I stick to the truth." "Reformed thief, eh? Then I cannot give you work. Between wondering if your reformation was thorough and watching to see if it were or not I should get no comfort or sleep. I respect you for telling the truth, but fear for your reformation." Moral--Too much truth is worse than not enough. The Bull and His Master. The owner of a fine Bull went into the field one day and said to the animal: "I think the bell on the spotted cow disturbs your ruminations, and I will therefore remove it." "Yes. It does disturb my thinks and thinks somewhat, and your action is kindness itself," replied the Bull. "And I observe that a great many files are lighting on you and making things uncomfortable. I will therefore cover you with a sheet." "Thanks from the bottom of my heart." "And those trumps on the fence—their language must give you a pain, and I drive them off." "Yes. I have been painfully upset by their frightness of conversation. When I linger an aldermantic banquet I expect to hear a pretty hot stories, but when it comes down to trumps I don't want to be there." "Are you satisfied with the water in the creek? If not I will order champagne." "Oh, it's fairly good water, and I will try to worry along." "Would you like any of these trees moved, so as to give you more shade?" "Thanks, but I won't put you to that trouble." "If the air here doesn't agree with you just say the word and I'll have it changed." "It's only common air, but"— And the Bull made a dire for his master and lifted him on his horns and towed him over the fence. "Alas, ungrateful animal, but you have broken a leg and three or four ribs for me" exclaimed the Master in reproachful tones. "You don't say! By George, I am sorry for that!" "But why did you attack me after my kindness to you?" "Attack? Why. I never thought of attacking you. Seeing a Grasshopper about to save you in his talons, I tensed you over the fence to save your life and show my appreciation of your kindness." Moral: It's a question whether one had better be seized by a Grasshopper or tossed by a Bull. A Common Mistake. Some men imagine that they are in the swim when as a matter of fact they are only in a put. Detroit Free Press. Seven Daughters Enough. The Rev. John W. Cavannaugh, president of Notre Dame college, tells of a priest who was giving a lecture on the evil of great wealth. In the audience was a man the priest knew. The man was the father of seven girls, and the lecturer pointed to this man as an example. "Think," said the priest, "of being the proud father of seven daughters. Think who is happier—the man with a million dollars or the man who is the father of seven daughters. "I will ask you, Mr. Sheldon, who do you think is the happier?" said the priest, pointing to the subject of his argument. The man arose and said: "Father, I think that a man with seven daughters is the happier. A man with a million dollars worries for more. A man with seven daughters never does."—Kansas City Star. The Bridegroom's Angleax. "Alert!" repeated ex- Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks when questioned concerning one of his political opponents. "Why, he's as alert as a Providence bridegroom I heard of the other day. You know how bridegrooms starting off on their honeymoons sometimes forget all about their brides and buy tickets for themselves. That is what happened to the Providence young man. And when his wife said to him, Why, Tom, you bought only one ticket, he answered without a moment's hesitation: 'By Joy, you're right, dear. I forgot myself entirely." — Lippincott's Magazine. Searched Him Out. "I think I must have been born unlucky." "What makes you say that?" "Well, for instance. I went to a cricket match once.

MONKEY ACTS AS MAJOR DOMO How the Plain Husband of a Plain Wife Makes a Successful Political Speech Aided by Nothing More Effective Than a Butter Ball Dear Elsa—I must tell you: about a visit I paid to the zoo. You, of course, know that the zoological display at Bronx park here in New York is one of the wonders of the naturalist world. But with all kinds of interesting sights at one's very door, one never seems to see them unless a stranger without the gates happens along and expresses a desire to "see the animals." Well, that is what brought about the visit to the zoo. My cousin Margaret has been visiting us for a week, and as yesterday was the time set for her departure I undertook to see her safely on the train. As usual, I was the means of her missing it by about three minutes. There was nothing left for us to do but to put in a few hours' time before the train left for the suburban town we have been calling home for the past month. Margaret suggested a visit to the zoo, and, as there seemed to be no just cause why we shouldn't avail ourselves of this opportunity, we went. The attitude of a Christian martyr was cheerful resignation itself compared to my mental state of mind, but I lived to see the error of my ways, while martyrus died for a better cause. The monkeys were the funniest things over. My dear, all chimpanzees eat, at a low table, such as is used in kindergarten, in chairs of the same childish size, with all, the dignity one associates with the meeting of a board of bank directors. A small monkey dressed in white linen used as butler and waited on table quello like a trained English funky, removing the plates as the courses were finished, filling the glasses when necessary and apparently anticipating the wants of his superiors. Whenever these same superiors became rude and grasping over the possession of a certain dainty or spilled any of the vanda, there was an overseeer of the human species on hand to chastise them by applying a smart wrap over the head of the offenders. At the end of the meal down went each apish head into its fore paws in devout, thanksgiving to the divine provider of the feast. Seats about the monkey cage were reserved for youthful spectators, and the peals of childish laughter when a chimpanzee forgot his table manners and was corrected made that part of the park ring with their appreciation. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. Since women have gone is for campaign work in behalf of their favorite presidential candidates there is a very hurricane of talk about politics; in fact, in the words of the popular ragtime song, "everybody's doing it," and one hears mighty funny stories on the subject. Here's my interest and concerning the misfortunes of a citizen, who wanted to help along the cause. This particular John was want to say to his wife Mary: "I'm a plain man, and among other things I take no interest in butter balls. I like my butter plain in pats." But Mary, though a plain woman, saw no reason why, the butter should emulate her, and at table the butter continued to appear in neat round balls. One evening John hurried through dinner. He was due to attend a political meeting. He was going to make his maiden speech. He left the table before the cloth was cleared for desert, but he returned for a moment, hain in hand, to rehearse his climax for Mary. "We are approaching a climax"—up went the hat. "Who among you will fall the old party now?" Hat waving in air. "I feature to predict"—hat aloft, still and perpendicular—"not one." Hat in a swift downward sweep, landing bung upon the table. And John, thrusting his hat upon his head, left the house. John was a marked man all the way to the meeting. Evidently the district knew that he was about to speak John's speech was a great success. The elitim seemed to quite move the audience. All the way home John was a marked man. People nodged each other and pointed him out. People craned their necks to see him and smiled. Secretly John rather fancied himself a power in the district. When his wife Mary met him at the door, "John," said she, "what is on your hat brim?" Pertly impaled upon his stiff straw hat front for all the world to see sat a plump yellow butter ball. "Mary," said John sadly, "this would never have happened had you been content to serve our butter plate, as it comes from the cow." Now, Elsa, dear, when Jack goes out to make a political speech inspect his hat. You would like to know how I am getting my hands into shape after the summer's hard use. I'm doing it with the following lotion, which is the heat thing of the kind. I have ever come across. Very simple in the formula: Five centr worth of bay rum, 15 centr worth of glycerin, 5 centr worth of alcohol and 5 centr worth of quince seed. Shake the lotion well before using, and it applied regularly for a few days the result will be magical.
