VOLUME XXX, NO. 31 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1913. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Knights, Beware! To all Grand Lodge Officers, Officers and Members of All Subordinate Lodges, Knights of Pythias, of the Jurisdiction of N. A., S. A., E., A. A. and A.—Greeting: There are two notorious imposters traveling throughout the country posing as members of the Knights of Pythias, one by name, George Price, with a card paid up for the year 1913, from St. Mary's Lodge, No. 15, Wagner, Oklahoma. He wears Masonic, K. of P. and Odd Fellow pins and is in possession of the proper word from all of them. He claims to have killed a white man in Wagner for attempting to assault his sister; with that tale he appeals to the Lodges to aid him in making his way to Cuba or Canada, for if caught he is satisfied that he will be lynched. (And such ought to be his fate.) He has fleeced Damon Lodge. No. 28 and Oakland No. 30 of Pittsburg, out of $20., and on arriving in Philadelphia we discovered that he was not altogether right and before giving him any sustenance whatever we made investigation which resulted as follows: "Str.

The other imposter, William Whitmore by name, claiming to be a member of Fowler Lodge, No. 2, of Averville, S. C. This marauder claims to have murdered a mate on a steamship. I send this as a warning hoping to overtake the scoundrels. All Knights of Pythagus of the Jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, are hereby directed to refrain from giving aid to any member or one claiming to be a member of any Lodge of the Order of K. of P., until communication shall have been secured from the Lodge of which such persons claim to be members.

BROWN. Graduated Book-keepers. HEZKELAH HURRIED back to the trunk room and had soon gained the roof. To my disappointment and chagrin my young lady of the single slipper was nowhere in sight. I found, however, lying near the library chimney a trunk tray that required no explanation. With this Hezekiah had blocked the flue, and I smiled as I pictured her tiptoing to reach the chimney creek and dropping the tray across the top. How gleefully she must have chuckled as she waited for the flue to fill and send the smoke obbing back into the library, to the discomfiture of her aunt and sister and the sultons gathered about the hearth. The spirit of mischief never whispered into a pretier car a trick better calculated to cause confusion. I had thought Hezekiah secure when I locked the trunk room door, but I had not counted upon the versatility and resourcefulness of that young person. I dropped to the second roof level and inspected the down spouts, but it was incredible that she had sought the earth by this means. I swung myself to a third level and after much gruping for my bearings decked that an athletic girl of Hezekiah's venture some disposition might, if she set no great store by her neck, clamber off the kitchen roof by means of a tall maple whose branches now raspingly called attention to their slight contact with the house. As the moon cruised into a patch of clear sky something white fluttered from a maple limb, and I bent and pulled it free. I took counsel of a match behind the kitchen chimney and found that it was a handkerchief that had been knotted to the tip of the bough. No one but Hesekiah would have thought of marking her trail in this fashion. I held it to my face, and thataint perfume that had been a myristifying accompaniment of the passing of the mansion ghost became nothing more unreal than the orris in Hesekiah's handkerchief case. The wind whipped the bit of linen spitfully to my hands. I reasoned that if Hesekiah, the inexplicable, had not meant for me to know the manner of her exit she need not, have left this plain hint behind, but the swaying maple bough did not tempt me. I hurried back across the foot to secure the trunk tray, resolved to dispose of it, seek the open and find the errant Heskillah if she still lingered in the neighborhood. I looked off across the windy landscape before descending, and as my eyes ranged the dark I caught the glimmer of a light as...of a lantern borne in the hand in the meadow beyond the garden. It paused and was swung back and forth by its unseen bearer. It abel a curious yellow light and not the white name of the common lantern, and now it rose a trifle higher and slowly resolved itself into a weird fantastic face. Three minutes later I was out of the house, using the back stairs to avoid the company in the library, and had crossed the garden and crawled through the hedge. As I rose to my feet a voice greeted me cheerfully: "Well, done, Chimney Man! You were a little slow hitting the trail, but you do pretty well considering. How did you manage with Aunt Octavia about that slipper? I had a narrow escape in the second floor hall when I came out of Cecilia's room. I must have lowered a record getting upstairs. And one shoe isn't a bit comfortable. Allow me to relieve you." "Here's your slipper. You ought to be ashamed of yourself." "For losing my slipper? I thought Cinderella had made that respectable." She placed her hand on my shoulder. Hitted her foot and drew the pump on with a single tug. "Well, what did Aunt Octavia say?" "Oh, she had thoughts too dark to express. You probably heard what we said. It was she who found the slipper." Heseklah laughed. The wind caught up that laugh and whisked it away joyously. "She found it and carried it to you. chitman man, and I skipped just as you began that beautiful story about finding it in Beaton street. I'm not supposed to see her, you know, until Cecilia, in all fixed. Hurry and tell me how you got me out of it." "How did you know I would try to explain it? You did a perfectly foolhardy thing in roaming the houses that way, securing Arrowwood nearly to death, to say nothing of me. Why should I help you?" "Oh, you're a man and I was just a little girl who had lost her slipper. she replied. "I was sure you would fit it up." She drew "mom behind a bowder by which we stood a pumpkin of portable also, which I airknitted had been carved into the most hideous of jack-o'-lanterns by the shrewd band of Hezekiah. "Come," she cried. "If you are good and won't begin preaching about my sins I will show you the funniest thing you ever saw in your life." In my joy of seeing her I was neglecting Cecilia's commission. Very likely Hesekiah had forgotten all about her theft. Here, I reasoned, was a nature that delighted in the nearest pleasure. I would follow her jack-o'-lantern around the world for the chance of seeing the fun brighten in her brown eyes, but I had made a promise to Cecilia, and I meant to fulfill it. She led me now across the meadow, over a stone wall, up a steep slope and by devious ways through a strip of woodland. I bore the jack-o'-lantern. She had bidden me do it with some notion I did not question of making me a party in whatever mischief was afoot. Also, she demanded that I repeat fully the story I had told her aunt of the finding of the slipper. "You are better than I thought you were, Chimney Man," she declared, when I had concluded and added her aunt's comment. "You may be sure that tickled Aunt Octavia. You can be almost as well as an architect. Aunt Octavia says architects are better lilars than dreammakers." "It was my weakness for the truth that caused me to abandon architecture. For heaven's sake, what are you up to?" I had kept little account of the direction of our flight, and I was surprised that we had now reached the stile over which I had watched the passing of the sulorn on the afternoon of my meeting with Hesekiah in the orchard. "This is the appointed place," she remarked, taking the pumpkin from me and dropping down on the far side of the stile. "Hesekiah, I've trotted across most of Westchester county after you, and my arm is patched from carrying that pumkin. I must know what you're up to sight here, or I'll go home. Besides, there's a mist falling and you'll be worked. What do you suppose your father thinks of your absence at this time of night? "Oh, he'll never forgive me for not letting him in on this. This is the greatest thing I ever thought of. Sit on this step and gently incline your ear toward the house. It's about time those gentlemen were leaving Cecilia, and they'll be galloping for their fan in a minute, and then"—Hesekiah whistled the rest of it. Walle we waited I tried once or twice to revert to the silver notebook, but without success. Hesekiah was a mistress of the art of evasion with her tongues as well as her feet. "Wait till the evaping performance is over and I'll talk about that. Shi: Quiet! Crawl over there out of the way, and when I say run, beat it for the land." These last phrases were uttered in a whisper, her face close to my ear. She gave me a little push, and I withdrew a few yards and waited. The ground. I may say, was wet and the drizzle had become a monotone autumn rain. The light of the lantern fell warmly upon Hesekiah's face as she held its illuminated countenance toward her, crouching on the stile steps. I heard now what her keeper ear had caught earlier—the tramp of feet along the path. The sultans were returning to the inn, and the voices of one or two of them reached me. the nature of Hesekiah's undertaking suddenly dawned upon me. Nearer and nearer came the patter of feet and I heard, for I could not see, the scraping of Hesekiah's slipper—a wet little shoe by now—she crept higher on our side of the stile. The first suit, or groped blindly for the steps, slipped on the wet plank, growled and rose to try again. That growl marked for me the leader of the van. Hartley Wiggins, beyond a doubt, and in no good humor, I gnawed! The others, I judged, had trodden upon one another's heels at the moment Wiggins stumbled. Thus let us imagine their approach—six gentlemen in top hats headed for a stile on a chilly night of rain. It was at this strategic movement that Hesekiah pushed into the middle of the stile platform, its grinning face turned toward the advancing sulton, the jack-o'-lantern her hand had fashioned. I marked its position by its faint glow an instant, but an instant only. The world reeled for a moment before the sharp cry of a man in fear. It cut the dark like a lash, and close upon it the second man yelled in a different key, but no leas in accents of terror. The first arrival had sung himself back, and so close upon him pressed the others and so unexpected was the halt, that the skull seemed to have sung themselves together and to be struggling to escape from the hideous thing that had interrupted itself in their path. All was over in a moment. In the midst of the panic the intern wished out, and instantarily flushed P. Struggling to Escape From the Hideous Thing. side me. "Skip!" she commanded in a whisper, and, catching my hand, she led me off at a brisk run. When we had gone a dozen rods she paused. We heard voices from the stile, where the gentlemen were still engaged in disentangling themselves, and then the planks boomed to their steps as they crossed. They talked loudly among themselves, discussing the cause of their discomfiture. The lantern, I may add, had been knocked off the stile by the thoughtful Hesekiah when she blew out the light. "Oh, that Hartley Wiggins! I might have known it!" she cried. "Known what?" I asked, pricking up my ears. "That be would be afraid of a pumpkin with a candle inside of it. Did you hear that yell?" "Anybody would have yelled," I suggested. "I think I should have dropped dead if you tried it on me." "No, you wouldn't." she asserted, with unexpected fattiness. "Don't be deceived, Hesekiah. I should have been scared to death if that thing had popped up in front of me." "I don't believe it. I gave you a worse test than that. When I switched off the lights and swung a feather duster down the stair well by a string and tickled your face you didn't make a noise like a circus callope scaring hornes in Main street, Podunk. But that Wiggin's man." "He's a friend of mine and as brave as a lion. Out in Dakota the shepherd used to get him to go in and quiet things when the boys were shooting up the town." "Maybe, but he aided at a pumpkin and can be no true knight of mine. Cedellis may have him. I always suspected that he wasn't the real thing. Why, he's even afraid of Aunt Octavin." "Well. I rather think we'd better be." "My wheel's in the weeds somewhere. Please pull it out for me. I'm going home." "But not alone. I can't let you do that. Hesclah." "Oh, cheer up!" she laughed, aroused by my lumberious tone. "And here's something you asked me for. Don't drop it. It's Cerclia's memorandum book. Give it back to her and be sure one no one sees it and you needn't look into it yourself. And we've got to have a talk about it and Cerclia. Let me see. There's an iron bridge across an arm of that Bison hide over there and just beyond it a big fallen tree. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock I'll be there. I've got to tell you something, chimney man, without really telling you. You'll be there, won't you?" "I'll be there if I'm gone. Hesitah." I had found the wig and lighted the lamp. She poured my supposition that I find a horse and drive her home. The lighting of the lamp required time, owing to the wind and rain, but when its thin ribbon of light fell clearly upon the road she shedded the handle bars and was ready to mount without ado. She gave me her hand. It was a cold, wet little hand, but there was a good friendly grip in it. This was the first time I had touched Hesitah's hand, and I mention it because as I write I feel again, the pressure of her slim cold fingers. "Borry you spooled your clothes, but it was in a good cause. And you're a nice boy, Chimney Man. Good night." CHAPTER XIX. A Travel With Homkiah. I WOKE the next morning to the banging of Miss Octavia's fowling piece. In spite of the crowding incidents of the day and night I had slept soundly, and save for a stiffness of the legs I was none the worse for my wetting. The service of the house was perfect, and in response to my ring a man appeared who declared himself competent to knock my dress clothes into shape again. "Occlina met me at the foot of the stair, looking rather worn. I thought. We were safe from interruption a moment longer, so her aunt's gun was still booming, and I followed her to the Library. "Please don't tell me you have failed," she cried tentally. "That little book means so much, so very much, to me all!" "Here it is, Miss Hellenor." I said, placing it in her hand without parley. "I bag to ensure you that I return it just as you nrew it best. Please notify yourself that it has not been tampered with in any way. I have not opened it, and it has not left my hand since I received it." that the little man was quite amused and kept him quietly. None yet had heard such upon the man, and I knew you were not in a without notice harmful manner." "On the other hand, it was the smallest man in the world, of being a trouble if he were great pleasure in possession." It is not possible that in himself subjected correspond- ence such hands to waste paper bednet that stubble blinds your desk—there is such a bednet, it there not." "Yes." she studied breathlessly. "Is it not possible, then, that that little booklet, hardly heavier than paper itself, may have been brushed off without your seeing it?" "It is possible, I must admit that it is possible, but—" "The well trained maid who cares for your room, seeing scraps of paper in the basket by your desk, naturally carried it off. When I accepted your commission last night I went directly to the cellar, sought the blu into which waste paper is thrown and found among old envelopes and other litter this small trinket, which but for, my promptness might have been lost forever." "It doesn't seem possible," she falted. "Oh! I laughed easily. "Possible or impossible, you could not on the witness stand sware that the book had not dropped into the waste-paper basket precisely as I have described?" "No, I suppose I couldn't." she answered. My powers of mendacity were improving, but her relief at holding the book again in her hand was so great that she would probably have believed anything. "You see," she said, clasping the book tight. "this was given me for a particular purpose, and it contains a memorandum of greatest importance. And I was in a pauline when I found that it was gone, for my recollection of certain items I had recorded here was confused, and there was no possible way of setting myself straight. Now all is clear again. I feel that I make poor acknowledgment of your service, but if at any time"— "Pray think no more of it." I replied. And at this moment Miss Holliser appeared and called us to breakfast. "If it is perfectly acceptable to you, Arnold, I will hear the story of the finding of the ghost at 4 o'clock, or just before tea. I have sent a telegram to Mr. Pepperton asking him to be present. He's at his country home in Redding and can very easily motor down. As no motors are allowed on my premises, he shall be met at the gate with a trap." "You have sent for Pepperton!" I exclaimed. "That is exactly what I have done, and as he knows that I never accept apologies under any circumstances he will not point me. In addition to reprimanding him for not selling me of the secret passage in this house, I have another matter that concerns you. Arnold, which I wish to lay before him. The new case: Providence sent to my kitchen yesterday, in the best we have had. Cecilia, and I bug that you both indulge yourself in a second helping of country scrubbed eggs." A little later I met Mina Holllister in the hall dressed for her ride. "Arnold, you may ride whenever you like. I may have forgotten to mention it. What have you on hand this morning?" "An appointment with a lady," I replied. "If you are about to meet the owner of that Beacon street slipper I wish you good luck." She was drawing on her gauntlets and turned away to hide a smile. I thought. Then she tapped me lightly with her riding crop. "Cedilia's silver notebook was missing last night. She told me of her loss with tears. She has it again this morning. Did you restore it?" "It was my good fortune to do so." "Then allow me to add my thanks to her. You are an unusually practical person, Arnold Amos, as well as the possessor of an imagination that pleases me. You are becoming more and more essential to me. Cecilia ap proaches, and I cannot say more at this time." When they had ridden out of the porte cochere I set off across the fields to keep my tryst with Heshelish. The air had been washed sweet and clean by the rain of the night, and ky was never biner. I was surprised at my own increasing detachment from the world. My days at Hopefield were the happiest of my life. I reached the fallen tree that Herkiah had appointed as our tryking place a little ahead of time and indulged in pleasant speculations while I waited. I was looking toward the tails expecting her to come swimming along the highway on her bicycle, when a splash caused me to turn to the lake. Dull of me not to have known that Herkiah would contrive a new entrance for a scene so charmingly set as this! She had noticed upon me in a light skiff and laughed to see how her, silent approach started me. She dropped one car and used the other as a paddle, driving the boat with a sure hand through the reeds into the bank. The morning, and the days are long. Such was Herkiah's greeting as she jumped ashore. She wore a dark green skirt and coat and a harrow four-in-hand cravat (and under a dangle) color that clasped her throat snugly. A boy's felt hat, with the brim pinned up in front, covered her head. "You seem none the worse for your wetting, Hezekiah. You must have been soaked." "So must you, Chimneys, but you look as fit as I feel, and I never felt better. Did they catch you crawling in last night?" "I didn't see a soul. You know I'm an old member of the family now. Nobody was ever as nice to me as your Aunt Octavia." "How about Cynthia?" "Having given her silver notebook and given it held to her before breakfast, I may say that our relatives are altogether wonderful." "To you open, I beg you." "To you will open," Minneapolis a little rambunctious, sending a jubilant further up the hill. "To your friend, that man can open half in love with your sister." "The goddidn' "Well, there a good deal of a gift." "Beautiful and no evil cuttlefish." They all praise about him. "You go into history Wynn and his follow hands at the Prescott Arms." "Yeah, and lots of others." "And sometimes Heshakah. It has seemed to you that you all got the all ```markdown ``` "Tis morning and the days are long!" migration and that you didn't get your share. So when her suitors began a stage of the castle, whose gates were locked against you, you plugged the chimney with a trunk tray and played at being ghost and otherwise sought to terrify your sister's lovers." "That's not nice, Chimneys. You mean that I'm jealous." "No. I don't mean that you are jealous now. I throw it into the remote and invocable past. You were jealous. You don't care so much now, and I hope you will care less!" "That is being impertinent. You talk that way I shall call you Mr. Ames and go home." "You can't do that Hesekiah." "I should like to know why not. If you say I'm jealous of Cocilia now or that I ever was I shall be very, very angry, for it's not true." "No. You see things very differently now. You told me only last night that Cocilia might have Hartley Wiggins. Assuming that she wants him? And you and he have been good friends, haven't you! You had good times on the other side. And while Cocilia was in town assisting Providence in finding your aunt a cook you went walking with him." "I did, I did!" mocked Hesekish. "And why do you suppose I did?" "Because Wiggery's the best of fellows, a solid, substantial citizen who raises wheat to make bread out of." "And angel food and ginger cookies," added Hezekiah, feeling absently in the pockets of her coat. "No. Chimneys, you're a nice boy, and you don't tell like a wild man when a feather duster hits you in the dark, but there are some things you don't know yet." "I am here to grow wine at the feet of Hezekiah, daughter of kings. Open the book of wisdom and teach me the alphabet, but don't be sad if I walk at the grammar." "I never knew all the alphabet myself," said Hezekiah doffully. Then she laughed abruptly. "I was bounced from two convents and no end of Hudson river and Fifth avenue education shops." "The brutality of that, Hezekiah, wrings my heart. Yet you are the best teacher I ever had, and I thought I was educated when I met you. But I had only been to school, which is different. Not until the first time our eyes met, not until that supreme moment— "Mr. Amea." Heaskish interrupted in the happiest possible imitation of Miss Octavia's manner. "If you think that, because I am a poor love girl who knows nothing of the great, who world, I am a fair mark for your colley. I assure you that you were new, or more mistaken in your life." "You oughtn't to mind your agent. It isn't respectful, and, besides, you have something to tell me. What's all this rumpus about Octavia's silver memorandum book? Suppose we discuss that and get through with it." "You see," she began earnestly, "I'm going to tell you something, and yet I'm not going to tell you. So far as you and I have gone you've been tolerably satisfactory. If I didn't think you had some wits in your head I shouldn't have bothered with you at all. That's frank, isn't it?" "It certainly is. But I'm terribly forced for fear I may not be equal to this new ordeal." "If you fall we shall never meet again; that's all there is to that. Now these real hard. You know something about it. already, but not the main point. Aunt Octavia got father to consent to let her marry us off—Octavia and me Octilia, being older, came first. I was to keep out of the way, and father and I were not to come to Aunt Octavia's new house up there or module in any way. While we were abroad I was treated as a little girl and not as a grownup at all. But you, I'm really nice, and some of Octilia's writers were also so when we were traveling. They were nice to me on Octilia's account, you know." "Of course. You're so hard to look at. Just have been perished to those big jigs to you—you almost like father he said, "I am not a man who is afraid to be a public servant. And Occhita gave birth to a little monkey, the baby of a little Prince of the tiny Occhita, composed by the father, and she was to keep a right of flight so that she could know when the right was turned on. How we will keep the pet-bear, for a minute, only. I'll say that Occhita was to keep the book all to herself and not show it to any one, not even to Aunt Occhita, you know, until the right man had asked Occhita to marry him. Now who do you suppose, Mr. Ames, that man is?" WATCHED her hands as they deftly cut and fashioned some dry reeds. The air grew warm as the sun climbed to the south and Heskirk slung aside her coat. The breeze caught the ends of her tie and snapped them behind her. She was wholly absorbed in her task, and no boy could have managed a pocket knife better. The first read she made a trifle longer than her hand. The succeeding ones she trimmed to graduated lessening lengths, till seven in all had been cut, and then she notched them. "Seven," she murmured, laying them neatly in order on her knees. "I remember the right number by a poem I read the other day in an old magazine." She reached down and plucked several long leaves of tough grass with which she began to bind the needs together, repeating: "Seven gold seeds grew tall and slim. Closest to the river's beaked brim. Syrinx, the natal, fitted part; touched me to look at her. "It will be easier," said Heskiah. "If you hold the pipes while I tie them." "I found this propensity wholly agreeable. It was pleasant to sit on a log beside Heskiah. It seemed no fun to the storied Mediterranean and Pan and dryads and naids, as Heskiah bound her reeds to the music of goupeia. There was no self consciousness in her recitation. She seemed to be telling of something that she had seen herself an hour ago. "I spread his arms to clap her there. Just as she vanished into air and to his bosom, warm and rough. Draw the gold reeds close enough. "I don't remember the rest; she broke off. "But there! That's a pipe for any shepherd." She put it to her lips and blew. I shall not pretend that the resplit was melodious. She whirled much better without the reeds, but the sight of her, sitting on the fallen tree beside the lake, beating water with her foot, her head thrown back, her eyes half closed in a mockery of rapture at the shrill, wheathy aceruntia and haptitides she evoked, thrilled me with new and wonderful longings. A heart, a spirit like here would never grow old. She was next of kin to all the elusive, fugitive company of the elf world. And on such a pipe as she had strung together beside that pond to this day Sicilian shepherd boys whistle themselves into tune with Theorcitus! "Take it," she said. "I can't tell you more than I have, and it will be all Gera, Chimney. Read the riddle of the reeds if you can." I took the pipe and turned it over carefully in my hands, but I fear my thoughts were rather of the hands that had haphazoned it, the fingers that had danced nimbly upon the stops. "There are seven reeds—seven," she affirmed. She amused herself by skipping pebbles over the surface of the water while I pounded, and I deliberated long, for one did not like to blunder before Henrikah. Then I jumped up and called to her. "One, two, three, four, five, six—seven! Not until the seventh man of herself shall Orcilia have a husband. Is that the answer?" For a moment Henrikah watched the widening ripples made by the casting of her last pebble. Then she came back and rescued her seat. "You have done well, Osmany Man, and now I now make you grow any more, though I found it all out for myself. When Amat Osmany gave that mimicry both to Cedda I knew it must have something to do with the growth man. But know I have all Amat Osmany mimicry because it's the kind of mimicry I like myself, and the film of a pretty little notebook to write down proposals in was precisely the idea of things that would have occurred to my mind. And it was in the paintings, see, that she herself should not in any way therefore or try to inform the scheme of events. It should be the nervous rottier, willy ally. And I suggest she been a little sentimental." "She has indeed! She was almost ready to throw the whole scheme over hot night. Your naughtiness had got on her nerves." "You missed the target that time. Aunt Octavia loves my naughtiness, and I think she has really been afraid Pumpkin Wiggle would catch me. Now, I didn't roam my aunt's house just for fun. I was doing my best to keep Octavia from getting into some scrap about that seventh plan. I found out by chance how to get into Ephraeli and about the old rooms tacked away there. Papa really discovered that. A carpenter in Katusha who worked on the house helped to build papa's bungalow, and he told us how that伙会 come to be there. That dynasty care man, who also immortalized himself by investing the rihmic ambition, was very impressive. He believed that if he built an activity new house he would die. So he had his architect build around and reindeer three rooms and that halfway of a house that had house on the ground almost the revolution. Mr. Pupperson, the architect, humored him, but told the summons of the rote as out of sight as no punishment." "Beware of that! And he did it." ```markdown ``` *I wish, Hezekiah, that you would stay caught!* # wish, Herekiah, that you would stay caught! about it that he took me with him one night just before Aunt Octavia moved here, and be and I found the rooms and the stair and the secret spring by which, if you know just where to poke the wall in the fourth floor hall you can disappear as mysteriously as you please. "But how on earth did you darken the halls so easily? You nearly gave me heart disease doing that." "Oh, that was a mere matter of a young lady in haste! When I found how easily I could pass you on the stair it became a fascinating game, and it was no end of fun to see just how long it would take you to catch me." "I wish, Herekiah, that you would stay caught! "Be very, very careful, alit! We're talking business now. There another ordeal for you before you dare become sentimental!" "Then harten. Let us be after it." "Things are in a serious predicament, I can tell you. I was frightened when I looked into that notebook. I didn't like to do that. I had to swat Providence a little. Five men have already got their quietum." "Then why don't they clear out and stop their nonsense?" "Oh, it's their pride. I suppose, and every man probably thinks that when Cecilia has seen a little more of him in particular, in contrast with the others, he will win her favor. They're afraid of one another, those men. That's the reason they've been herding together so close since the first day you came. Mr. Wiggins was taking it for granted that he was the whole thing—just like the man—and those others forced him to join in some arrangement by which they were to hang together. These calls in a bunch came from that, as though any one of them wouldn't take advantage of the others if he saw a chance! Some of this I got from Wiggy himself, the rest I just guessed." "Hut you may not know that they sent a delegation after me into town to warn me off the grass." "That was Mr. Dick. He never saw me when Cecilia was around, and he was terribly snappy sometimes and supercilious, but I'm going to get even with him. I've about underlined him for number six," she concluded with the manner of a queen who, about to give her chief executioner his orders for the day, glances calmly over the list of victims. "That's a good idea. Dick is insufferable. I hope you haven't counted wrong." "As we were saying, about the notebook, she resumed, "the fifth man has already been respectfully declined. The dates of the proposals are written in the notebook, so I learned from the book that Mr. Ormahy, Mr. Arbuthnot and Mr. Gorse had proposed on the steamer. Professor Hume, you know, tried his luck at Hopefield, and Lord Arrowwood must have stopped Cecilia all she was riding to the station on my bicycle yesterday morning. His goose is cooked." "He stopped to tell papa goodbye and spoke very highly of you. Papa and you are the only gentleman he met in America. But now we come to Mr. Wiggins." "We do; and why in the name of all that is beautiful and good hasn't be tried his luck?" "Because, knowing Cecilia's admiration for him," replied Hesakiah demurely, "I have kept him so diverted that he hasn't been able to bring himself to the scratch." "You didn't want him to blunder in as the first, fourth or sixth man!" Henkelish gravely nodded her pretty head. "And while you were engaged in this strictly labor, Cecilia has been afraid that you were seriously interested, in him!" "That is like Cecilia. She's fine, and wouldn't cause me trouble for anything," and there was no doubt of Henkelish sincerity. "But now that I lose the light and understand all this, how can we make sure that Wiggy will be on the spot at the right moment? While we sit here he may be the sixth man! I might take care of Wiggy by asking Cecilia to marry me, being careful to have him appear Johany on the spot when I had been duly declined." "Um! I shouldn't take any chances if I were you," she replied, foiling to look at an imaginary bird in a tree top. "For if you had counted wrong and were really the seventh man she would have to accept you!" "Haweshik!" "Oh, I really didn't mean what you thought I meant. We don't need to discuss it any more. That's the original fry agreement I for you." she downcast. SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1912 "But, my dear Flamantin, by what means can this be effected? I don't dare tell him the combination he's playing against or at him until his hour stricken." "Certainly not; you mustn't tell him or anybody else. You know the plan; but you won't be supposed to, and nobody must know I've needed. Meanwhile Octavia must express herself to propose at all times. Aunt Octavia's heart would be broken if she thought Providence had been tampered with. She Miss Winny well enough, except that his anecdots were all Turks, and he can't be a son of the Revolution." She rose and pointed to her coat. "Drop it into the best for me, Chimneys. We must be funny places, don't we? Papa expects me for lunch soon, and I must row back and get my bicycle. You? No, you can't go along; you've got a lot of thinking to do, and you'd better be doing it." A few minutes later, as I swung along the highway toward the Prescott Arms, I saw Cecilia Holster riding toward me at a lively gallop. She crossed the bridge without checking her horse, and then, with a hurried glance over her shoulder, she pointed with her crop to a byway. I hurried after her and found her waiting for me in a quiet lane. She had diamounted and seemed greatly disturbed as I addressed her. "I hadn't expected to meet you. I thought you rode off with your aunt toward Mount Kisco." "We did, but on our way home Aunt Octavia stopped to call on a friend, and as I didn't feel in a mood for visits this morning, I rode on alone. I was walking my horse in the road beyond Bedford, just after I left Aunt Octavia, when who should ride up beside me but Mr. Wiggins. He had evidently been following me." She expected me to express surprise, and with the information that Hezekiah had just imported fresh in my mind I dare say she was not disapointed in the effect of her words. I was thinking rapidly and fearfully. If my friend had sought her in the highway and offered himself in some fresh accession of ardor he might even now be a rejected and hopeless man, but I was unwilling to believe that this had happened. "Won't you tell me what happened in the road when Hartley rode up beside you?" "Oh, nothing happened; really, nothing! Nothing could have happened for the excellent reason that I ran away from him. It wasn't what he did or said, it was the fear of what he might say." "If it had been Mr. Dick who had joined you in exactly the same way in the highway, you would not have minded in the least, Miss Hollister. Isn't that the truth?"

How to Arrange For Early Breakfast Many women are called upon to have early breakfast, and some find it quite a hardship. To relieve this hardship, said an accomplished housekeeper, I have adopted the following plan: Before retiring at night I set my table, prepare the food and place it in a cool place, roll my better balls and put on ice. If I am to have a cooked cereal I put it to soak in a double boiler, which needs only to be put over the fire first thing on coming into the kitchen in the morning; if a cereal only to be crisped I measure it into a pan ready to be run into the oven. I measure my coffee and put it in the pot ready for the water. If I am to have hot biscuits or waffles or buckwheat cakes I measure the flour and all ingredients and have it ready to mix with the milk, or if I am to have toast I slice the bread ready for the toaster. If I am to have breakfast bacon I have it sliced and ready for the spider, or if there are to be creqqettes I mold them and have them ready to be browned. Thus I have my breakfast ready in twenty or twenty-five minutes after entering the kitchen in the morning.

Lee Was Marching Through Pennsylvania When It Encouraged General George G. Mendoa's Forces. By Capt. GEORGE L. KILMER, late U.S. V. [Copyright, 1913, by American Press Association.] E great conflict at Gettysburg. Fa. began on the last day of July, 1963. The first real battle on that field was fought between portions of the Federal First corps, Army of the Potomac, commanded by General J. F. Reynolds, and Confederates of the Third corps. Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by T On the morning of July 1 the Federal scouts belonging to General John Buford's cavalry division reported that the Confederates of Heth's division were advancing toward the town along the Caustown (Chambersburg) road from the northwest. When the word reached Reynolds' General Buford's troops and horse artillery were engaged with the enemy about a mile from the town. Reynolds rode toward the firing, directing General Abner Doubleday to hurry forward the First corps and General O. O. Howard to bring up the Eleventh corps. Reynolds in person directed the deployment of General James Wadsworth's division to cope with Heth's men, who were proving too strong to be held in check by cavalry. In a short time it repulsed two of Heth's brigades, capturing one brigadier with a large part of his command. Reynolds was shot dead by a Confederate sharp-shooter. About noon Howard reached, the front in advance of his corps and assumed command. While the Eleventh corps was marching forward Buford's men reported a new Confederate column marching from the direct north down a road from Carlisle. This was General R. S. Ewell's corps, which had already operated as far north as York. Ewell's command comprised the divisions of General Jubal Early, General R. S. Bodes and General Ed Johnson. Johnson's division was the farther away, and only Rodes and Early took part in the fighting of July I. Howard's Eleventh corps reached the field at double quick. The divisions of General Francis C. Barlow and General Carl Schura deployed north and northwest of the town to meet the dan- ```markdown ``` GENERAL B. H. B. HENRY, U. A. A.

At 4:30 the troops of Barlow and Schurz had been worsted by Ewell and were retreating to join their comrades on Cemetery hill and Early's Confederates were in the streets of the town at its base. This southward advance brought the enemy, in the rear of the First corps' line westward on Seminary ridge. In fact, the right of this line was carried away by the advance of Ewell's men. On setting, about 4 p. m., that the Blevens corps line was being swept away. Doubleday gave the order to retreat. With difficulty he got his reinforcements and batteries upon Cemetery hill before Ewell was in possession of the streets leading up the ridge. The Confederate commander, General R. E. L. reached the front in the afternoon and directed the subsequent movements. His opponent, General George G. Meade, did not arrive until after midnight.

Hancock's decision committed the division of General Wilcox on Meade to battle on that ground. 1. Hills' corps took position on the right The heights upon which the Army of the Potomac was arrayed consist of a well defined ridge extending from the prominent elevation close to Gettysburg town known as Cemetery hill, southward a mile and a half to the still higher elevations of Big Round Top and Little Round Top. Near Little Round Top a rocky height known as Devil's Den juts out to the west. East of Cemetery hill, at the northern termination of the ridge, is the heavily wooded Culp's hill. The two armies were about a mile apart when the day opened, Lew's formation was a concave, Hill's and Longstreet's corps on Seminary ridge which runs parallel to Cemetery ridge, and Ewell's in front of Cemetery hill and Culp's hill. Slocum's Twelfth corps and Howard's Eleventh confronted Ewell. Hancock's Second corps and Doubleday's First extended the line from Cemetery hill southward along the ridge. Sickles was ordered to prolong the line as far south as Round Top with the Third corps. Simultaneous Attacks Ordered. Lee directed his right and left wing commanders to assail the right and left banks of Meade's army at the same time and Hill, commander in the center, to make constant threats against the Federal center to prevent either bank from being reinforced. Longstreet attacked the left flank held by Sickles, at 4 p. m. with a prelude of artillery fire against an angle formed by Sickles' line at the peach orchard on the Emmitburg road. The battle raged over fields and among trees, rocks and ratries until dark. Ewell, on Lees' left, did not attack Mende's right at Cemetery hill until Longstreet's assault on the left at Round Top had been repulsed. Johnson's division captured a stretch of Federal breastworks just at dark. Early lys' division, having Gordon's brigade in reserve, stormed Cemetery bill with spirit, but was repulsed in a hand to hand conflict against infantry and bat teries of the Eleventh corps. Although the heavy attacks on the flanks of the Federal army had been repulsed on July 2, the Confederate commander prepared to continue his aggressive tactics next day. He decided to re-enforce Johnson's division which had gained and held a lodgment in rear of the Federal right or Culp's hill, and throw a strong column of fresh troops against the enemy's center. . General Pickett's Charge. Lee having decided to put 15,000 men in a column of assault, General Long street was ordered to prepare for the grand attack. Pointing to Cemetery ridge, Lee is said to have declared "The enemy is there, and I am going to strike him." Longstreet responded "It is my opinion that no 15,000 ever arrayed for battle can take that position." General George F. Pickett's division of Longstreet's corps had only arrived during the afternoon of the previous day. The troops were fresh except for a hard march. The division numbered about 9,000 men. General Heth's division of General Hill's corps, which had borne the brunt of the lighting on the lst of July and had been severely handled, was chosen to support Pickett's column on its left bank. The position to be attacked was under the command of General W. S. Hancock. It was occupied by the First corps, commanded by General John Newton; the second corps, commanded by General John Gibbon; the Third corps, commanded by General D. R. Burrow, and the Ninth Corps, commanded by General G. O. Burrow. at the division of General Wilcox of Hill's corps took position on the right of the charging line. Pickett's men traversed a distance of about a mile and a half, counting from the woods where they started to the crest of the ridge which they desired to attain and almost reached. As soon as they came in sight over a slight ridge on the west side of the plain the Federal shells began to cut them down. Double canisters were reserved for their closer approach. Raked by Rifle Fire. As fast as the shell ton through their lines the Confederates closed up the gap. When half way to the base of the ridge canister began to make fearful chaums in their ranks. A battery stationed on Little Round Top reached its lines lengthwise. The infantry of Hancock's line had been commanded to reserve its rifle fire until the Confederates were close enough to make it deadly effective. Pettigrew's men on the extreme left of the charging column first met this terrible fire and began to waver. They had been severely shaken by the artillery-shells in the first few hundred yards of their march, and the bolts buried at close quarters sent them back in masses. When the right tank of Pickett's column became exposed by a change of direction Stannard's Vermont brigade rushed into the gap between Pickett and Wilcox and poured in an oblique fire. This fire caused Kemper's Confederate brigade to crowd toward the center of the column. Being pressed in front by muskety fire at close range, many of Kemper's men surrendered, others retreated, and still others continued to crowd together. However, the brigades of General L. A. Armistead and General R. B. Garnett pressed on up the ridge in spite of the death dealing bolts, buried at them on all sides from Hancock's line. Armistead, leading the van, leaped a stone wall, waved his sword with his hat on it and shouted to the hundred men who were at his heels, flaunting their battleflags. "Give them the cold steel, boys!" He laid his hand upon a gun in Gibbon's line. A Confederate flag was waved triumphantly here for a few minutes. That flag marked the high tide of the Confederacy. Armistead was shot down beside the gun he had taken. This was the culmination of the charge. Garnett was also killed. Pickett ordered a retreat. Pettigrew's division is said to have lost 2,000 men and fifteen battlefaces. On Pickett's right the division of Wilcox could gain no-foothold. Stannard's brigade, after a successful attack on Kempers and Pettigrew's columns, turned upon Wilcox, forcing him to retreat also. A Curieia Eugene.

Nowadays there are many forms of gardening, but perhaps few are more interesting than the 'water garden. Most persons have an idea that a winter garden is only possible where there is a large amount of room. This is quite a wrong notion. There must be few gardens in which it is not possible to spare a piece of ground about nine feet square, and this is all that is necessary. The situation is a matter of some importance. In a general way odd corners are to be avoided, and the more open the position the better. A very good formation for the pool would be that of a rough circle. Six feet is a suitable measurement for the diameter of the pond, which should be dug out in the form of a rough basin. The greatest depth must be in the center of the pool, and the sides should sink fairly abruptly. In a pool of this one it is desirable to have as much deep water as possible, so that there will be good accommodation for water lilies. The deepest part of the pool should not be less than two feet six inches and might be a little more. After the digging out of the basin one of the first steps is to make sure that the soil is pressed down very firmly in the bottom. The question of lining the basin now arises. Of course there is no doubt that the ideal way is to spread over the whole of the floor a layer of concrete. This substance is formed by mixing moderate sized stones with cement, and the making of it is not beyond the average amateur. The concrete is spread over the bottom of the basin and should not be less than three inches in thickness. "Fa, what did prehistoric monsters look like?" "Ask your mother."—Houston Post.

But Finally Things Come Too Fast For Him, and Mrs. B.'s Advice Is Vindicated — Arbitrator Then Gets Patched Up. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press] FOR all of half an hour as Mr. Bowser sat and pretended to read his paper he was listening for the doorbell to ring. There are times when Mr. Bowser is a foxy grandpa, or thinks he is, which is almost the same thing. He felt that it was up to him to say something to break the long silence, and he had his lips open to remark that he thought a change of weather was coming when the sound of the bell jumped out of his chair. "Good land!" exclaimed Mr. Bowyer as he trotted down the ball to open the door. He stepped outside and held some sort of discussion with two or three men on the doorstep and at the end of ten minutes re-entered the house to say to Mrs. Bowyer: "I find I shall have to go out for an hour or so this evening." "Some club matter?" she queried. "No. Those gentlemen who just called were a committee, or, rather, two committees, appointed to secure my services an arbitrator between two unions. I am to meet them at headquarters. I was selected over scores of others mentioned, and I feel a bit proud of the honor done me." "But what do you want to mix up in a quarrel for?" she asked. "In the first place, there is no quarrel, but only a disagreement; in the next, I shall hear the statements of both sides and smooth over the little trouble." "What is it about?" The Question at issue. "Why, as I understand it, the Moving Van unload and the Moving Van emplored are at loggerheads as to what A "THAT IS BOUGH, WOMAN!" constitute a back load for a man to carry up three sights of stairs. The maiden holds to it that when a man is lended down with a sideboard or a burrow that's enough, while the employer holds that a mattress or an iron bedstand ought to be added. I shall of course, hear more particulars at headquarters. It has been agreed to leave the decision to me, and I feel somewhat mattered over it." "I wouldn't if I were you," quietly observed Mrs. New. "Hey! What do you mean?" "I mean that you had better let the light it out among themselves." "Woman, what in thunder also you?" "I simply ask you to keep out of trouble. What is it to you whether a moving van man carries six bedstores or only a hatchbox at a load?" "Do you understand that this matter may become a great national issue within a month?" he asked as he bung on to himself. "No. I don't." "Do you understand that it may eventually spread to the reputest part of the earth?" "Nonsense! I understand that if you mix up with it you'll come home hatless and with your coat torn off your back." Bowser Shows His Independence. "That is enough, woman-that is enough," said Mr. Bowser as he wavest her beside. "Don't sit up for me. I shall come home when I get ready. What in blazes?" He referred to the cat, which was sitting up and grinding at him with her left eye half closed. He jumped at her with fell intento, but she sought safety under the plane and chuckled as he put on his overcoat and hat and passed out of the house. After a walk of four minutes he reached the place designated. It was a wagon shop. It was next door to a saloon. There were two men in the wagon shop and thirty-four in the saloon, and as the thirty-four refused to join the two, the two finally decided to join the thirty-four. Mr. Bowser didn't look upon this as exactly parliamentary, but he was not there to split straws. He was expected. He was greeted as "old man," "boss," "Bowser," "pard," and so forth, and the president of the Moving Van union took him aside and said: "Say, now, but you'd better set up for the boys before we begin business. They done you proud, and they want to see that you appreciate it." Mr. Bowser hesitated, but only for a moment. It was a crisis, and he never shirked a crisis. The thirty-seven glasses had scarcely been emptied when the president of the Moving Van Employers winked him into a corner and whispered. "Repeat the dose, old man. That was a treat for the union. You must now treat the employers." Bowser Meets Crisia. Mr. Bowser treated. It was another crisis, and he met it. Then the meeting was called to order, and the president of the M. V. E. proceeded to state his side of the case. When he hired a man on one of his wagons he expected that man to do his duty. If that man was broad enough in the back and was strong enough in the legs to carry a piano upstairs he was looked to go ahead. If he was a weakling and could only bear the weight of an trecox and a bookcase, no fault would be found with him so long as he did his best. What the employers found fault with was that two men could conspire to do one man's work. He cited case after case where he had seen men climb three and four pairs of stairs with no other loads than a cookstove on their backs and a dining room table in other hand and where he had seen two men make a great aide about getting a thousand pound safe on to the fourth floor. All the employers naked for was a square deal. They didn't expect any one man to carry a whole vanload of goods upstairs at one trip, but neither was it fair or right that a man should waste valuable minutes mopping the sweat from his brow or figuring how a aix foot bedstead could be pushed up a three foot stairway. Another Crisis Arises The speaker did not sit down when he had finished. On the contrary, he hedged around to Mr. Bowser and suggested that another crisis was at hand. That crisis called for more beer, and Mr. Bowser met it. Then the president of the M. V. urose and staged his side of the case. He didn't call it a case where capital was sucking the life blood of labor. It was that capital was breaking labor's back by overloading it with bureaus and refrigerators. He pointed to his bald head, and declared that his hair had been worn off by rubbing against family iceboxes. He pointed to his bowlegs and declared them to be the direct result of back loads of bedsteads and tables. Under the slave driving system pursued by the M. V. V. E. the members of the M. V. V. all over the world were becoming squat, bald headed and bawlegged, and a year hence would see them humpbacked as well. It was a feeling speech—that is, he felt for Mr. Bower after concluding it and said that a terrible crisis could only be avoided by another call for beer. It was called, for. Then the arbitrator arose to arbitrate. Mr. Bowser will never remember whether he began his remarks at the landing of the pilgrim fathers or started in at Valley Forge. At any rate, they were interrupted by calls for more beer. He will also be at a loss to recall just what started the ruction when further calls for beer were unheeded. Some one may have called some one else a liar, or there may have been a difference of opinion on some of the political questions of the day. A ruction came, however, and two minutes after the first knockdown everybody was trying to punch everybody else's head. Escapes With Difficulty. There was no opportunity for Mr. Bowser to bear himself nobly in this crisis. A blow on the nose put him out of it almost at the start, and he had been walked on for ten minutes before he finally reached the door and got out. Mrs. Bowser and the cat were waiting. The allure of the evening was suddenly broken by what seemed to be the gallop of a horse along the sidewalk. It came nearer and nearer, and there was a hitch and a limp in the gallop as it turned in at the gate. Then there was a rush up the front steps, a bang at the door, and Mr. Bowser stood in the hall. He was a human wreck. He had got it bad. He had met the enemy, and he was his'n. "Well" asked Mrs. Bowser as he leaned up against the wall and panted. His eyes rolled. But he could not utter a word. "I just" she continued. "Arbitrator Bowser has arbitrated, and the room is what, might be expected—now emashed, but more clothes raised and your eyes turning black. If you manage to crawl upstairs I'll get some hot water and the medicine chest and see if I can patch you up." "Wo-woman"—he began, but she raised her hand and stopped him, and he wilted. The Pear Orphan An old country woman stepped into a suburban drupeuse and laid on the counter a prescription for a mixture containing two deglucinus of morphin. The drupeuse exercised the utmost care in weighing the dangerous drug. "What a shame!" she cried. "Don't be so stingy; it's for an orphan girl."—Lippincott's. Gold Woman "What's the matter? A bridegroom shouldn't look so depressed." "Diplusionalized, that's what." "How now?" "I offered my wife two kisses to build the fire, and she flatly refused." -Louisville Courrier-Journal. The Usual Kind "How fast is your car, Jimpson?" asked starkaway. "Well," said Jimpson. "It keeps about six months ahead of my income generally."—Harper's Weekly. HE DIDN'T KNOW THE GAME If He Had He'd Never Have Asked the Question. An assistant district attorney was conducting a case in the criminal court. A large, rough shouldered negro was in the witness chait. "An' then," said the witness, "we all went down in the alley an' shot a few craps." "Abi" said the attorney, swinging his eyeglass impressively. "Now, sir, I want you to address the jury and tell them just how you deal craps." "Wass that?" asked the witness, rolling his eyes. "Address the jury, sir," thundered the attorney, "and tell them just how you deal craps!" "Lomme outen beah," said the witness unceasingly. "Fire! thing I know this german gwine ask me how to drink a san'wich."-Argonaut. The Grand Manner There was a discussion in one of the clubs on the use of farthings, and somebody remarked that in a certain Scottish town the natives, as part of their preparations for a visit to London, used to polish farthings till they looked like half sovereigns. These coins were intended for tips, and the story goes that when the Scottish express had steamed into King's Cross, station one night a too honest porter, got one of the glittering farthings from a passenger and was milled into thinking it was a half sovereign in the twilight of the station. "Beggin' your pardon, sir," he said to the man whose bag he had carried to a cab, "but I think you've made a mistake." "Not at all, my good fellow, not at all," replied the other grandly. "I never give less."—Pearson's Weekly. Joe' Ruin! A darky who had witnessed an execution by law came forth from the scene pop eyed with horror and proceeded to describe the dread scene to some of his friends. "Doy tek an' strop you down in a cheer," stated the eyewitness. "an' den dey clamps some things on to yore hald an' yore lalga. je' so. An' den one o' dem wite men go over to de corner where dey is a little jigger set in do wall, which he gives it one little pull lak dat, an' she go 'pet-t.'" He paused. "An' whut den?' demanded one of the audience breathlessly. "Nothin' but ruin," he said, "je' run!"-Saturday Evening Post. Rule That Worked Both When he had carefully examined the shoes the physician had brought in for repairs the German cobbler handed them back, saying, "Dem shoes ain't worth mending, doctor." "Very well, Hana," said the doctor; "then, of course, I won't have anything done to them." "Vell, but I charge you 50 cents already yet." "Why, what for?" "Vy, ven I came to see you de udder day you sharged me $3 for telling me dot dere sn't noddings der matter mit me."-Ladies Home Journal. Couldn't Respond. A Scottish farmer was asked to the funeral of a neighbor's wife, and as he had attended the funeral of both of her predecessors his own wife was rather surprised when he informed her that he had declined the invitation. For some time Sandy would give no reason for the refusal, but he could not stand the old lady off, so finally he told her with some hesitation: "Weel, ye see, Janet. I dhanna like to be acceptin' itther folks' civilities when I niver has anything of the kin' to offer in return."—Exchange. Explained.

To such are allowed clear soup in small quantities, fish fish, lean meat, chicken and turkey, eggs, fruit; green vegetables, no potatoes, peas or beans, a very little dry toast or dry biscuit, water hot or cold, skimmilk, unsweetened lemonade, mineral waters, tea and coffee without sugar, white wines and spirits if ordered. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY: Don't Grow Old Prematurely. Most of the orils that bifalf us in this world, especially premature old age and early death, are due to our own negligence. Here are twelve commandments, which, if followed scrupulously, will insure longevity and the enjoyment of health: First—To be as much as possible in the open air, and especially in the sunshine, and to take plenty of exercise, taking special care to breathe deeply and regularly. Second—To live on a diet consisting of meat once a day, eggs, cereals, green vegetables, fruit and raw milk of healthy cows (as much as the stomach will permit) and to masticate properly. Third.—To take a bath daily and, in addition, once a week or once every two weeks to take a sweet bath (if the heart can stand it). Fourth.—To take a purgative once a week if there is any tendency to constipation. Fifth.—To wear very porous underwear, preferably cotton; porous clothing, loose collars, light but if any) and low shoes. Sixth.—To go to bed early and to rise early. Seventh.—To sleep in a very dark and very quiet room, and with a window open, and not to sleep less than six and one-half hours or more than seven and one-half hours, and for women eight and one-half hours. Eighth.—To have one complete day's rest in each week without even reading or writing. Ninth. -To avoid mental emotions and also worries about things that have happened and cannot be altered, as well as about things that may happen. Never to say unpleasant things and to avoid listening to such, if possible. Tenth. -To get married, and, if a widow or widower, to marry again. Eleventh. -To be temperate in the use of alcohol and tobacco and also in the use of tea and coffee. Twelfth. To avoid places that are overheated, especially by steam, and badly ventilated. To replace or re-enforce the functions of the organs which may have become changed by age or disease, by means of extracts from the corresponding organs of healthy animals; but only to do this under the strict supervision of medical men who are thoroughly familiar with the functions of the ductless glands. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. The Best Disinfectant. Sunlight is fatal to the vitality of the lower organisms, and the experiment has proved this to be the case with a number of the most important pathogenic bacteria. It is also well known that the chemical activity of the sun's rays, upon which depend their germicidal properties, attain a maximum in the month of May. It was shown long ago that the bacillus of tuberculosis was killed by direct sunlight in from a few minutes to several hours. Even a fluid ordinarily favorable to the culture and multiplication of organisms assumes under the influence of sunlight antiseptic properties until the environment changes from one which was congenial to the growth of the organism to one which eventually kills it. Sunlight destroys also the toxin of the organism and renders it incapable of harm. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. To remove blackheads get a good sulphur, ointment and rub this well into the parts affected nightly after washing well with hot, soapy water. Once a week steam the face over a jug of hot water for some minutes and then press out the largest of the blackheads between the finger tips and again rub in. ointment. In the diet include fair amounts of salads, stewed fruits and green vegetables and avoid fatty, rich foods, pastry and sweet. Take a tablespoonful of flowers of sulphur nightly and a small glass of effervescing saline each morning. The Highest Light on Our Coast. The tallest light tower in the United States is at Cape Hatteras, on the low lying coast of North Carolina, which is 200 feet from base to top of lantern. The highest light, however, is that at Cape Mendocino, on the coast of California, which is 422 feet above high water. It is on a cliff, the lighthouse itself being only twenty feet in height.

Mathilde Cottrell, who is still on the boards in this country, was a child actress in Berlin nearly fifty years ago. Miss Jennie Sloan, a blind girl, living in St. Louis, has sent to the White House a broom which she made specially for the president. Mrs. E. H. Harriman has made an offer to the American Museum of Safety of three medals to be presented each year to the railroad and its employees which best devise means for reducing the dangers of travel. Miss. Dolene Dutrieu is the first woman aviator to whom the ribbon of the Legion of Honor has been awarded. Of all the women who have taken to dying she is the only one who has, as it were, kept pace with the leading aviators. In many instances she has surpassed them in her achievements. Miss Ethel Sargent, who has been elected president of the botanical section of the British association, is the first woman to receive such an honor.

Joseph Limburg, who recently refused to design the national German monument to Heinrich Heine when approached by an artistic and literary group, is a daring and poetic sculptor with a following quite as strong as the Rodin cult in France. He created a sensation at twenty-three with his first statue, the "Violin Player," at the Berlin exhibition.

The young art fakery of the school of design say that the cubists stole their material. But the cubists lack a sense of humor—New York World. The exhibit of futurist art which is being tooted around the country, at least will convince ordinary mortals that congress acted wisely in forbidding the importation of absinthe—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Industrial Items This country employs 800,000 women in its industries. The United States annually produces time valued at $14,000,000. The yearly record of the industrial is 80,000 deaths and 500,000 seriously injured. In France the minimum rate for malt filers is 3 cents and rarely over 4 cents a minute in hour. In the United States are 750,000 males, each of which produces more than two hundred thousand hours. HIGH GRADE JOB WORK In Fact Printing of All Kinds Executed Promptly.

Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a rattle of drums. A flash of color beneath the sky- HATS off! The flag is passing by. Blue and red and white it shines Over the steel tipped, ordered lines. HATS off! The colors before us fly; But more than the flag is passing by. Sea lights and land lights, grim and great, Fright to make and save the state; Weary marches and making ships; Cheers of victory on dying life; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift increase; Equal justice, right and law; Sensitivity and reverence awe. Sign of a nation great and strong To ward her people from foreign wrong; Pride and glory and honor—all Love in the colors to stand or fall. Hate off! Along the streets there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, and loyal hearts are boating high Hate off! The flag is passing by. —Henry Holscomb Bennett. Dedged It. The Rev.

A lot of men who cannot spell Are happy now and swelling Around as all their friends they tell That they use reformed spelling. —Cincinnati Enquirer. Humor of a Genius Elizabeth Barrett Browning combined with an exalted spirituality an inimitable sense of humor which pervaded all her days. As illustrating this humor Lilian Whiting tells in "The Brownings—Their Life and Art," the story of the time Poe sent Mrs. Browning a volume of his poems with an inscription on the dylan that declared her to be "the noblest of her sex." "And what could I say in reply," Mrs. Browning laughingly remarked, "but Sir, you are the most discerning of years?" LABOR'S HOPE. No man in all our history was a firmer believer in law and order than Thomas Jefferson. The right of a man to labor is inalienable, and the right of a man to quit work is just as undeniable. Nother capital-nor labor has the right to take the law into its own hands. If capital does wrong that is no reason why labor should do wrong, or vice versa. Two wrongs never did and never will make a right. In a government such as ours the reign of law must not give way to the reign of force. The law must be obeyed by all. The best advice that any friend can give labor, committed or otherwise, in his struggle for its just rights, for better conditions, for greater programs and for a more equal distribution of its profits is to obey the law. Labor's only hope is here. No man is greater than the law in this country.—William S. Johnson. Governor of New York.

"How's mother this morning?" asked a passing neighbor cheerly. Billy looked serious: "I don't sink she feels very good, Mrs. Brown. Her bestest rosebush is dyin', and she had to use lots of emotion." Mrs. Brown looked sympathetic, but puzzled. "Poor mother! Did it really make her cry?" "No!' with scornful emphasis. "She just putted some suspends an' kerosene on the bush to kill the bad little bugs." "Oh, yes; emulsion!" said the questioner in the light dawn upon her. "That's what I said," explained Billy patiently, "kerosene emotion." — Los Angeles Times. Mrs. Hannah L. John 516 N. HARRISON ST., E MADISON 7165.

The Desert de Carlitte, in the Pyrenees, close on 10,000 feet above the sea, contain no fewer than sixty lakes of varying sizes. These, according to local tradition, were left at the time of the flood. When the waters subsided, it is said, Noah and his family landed on the Puy de Prigue, one of the highest peaks in the district. Proof of the truth of this tradition is found in an iron ring to which, the peasants declare, the ark was moored when the landing was effected. Teaching a calf to drink out of a nail is an elementary performance compared with some others. The most difficult feat is that of matching up a half worn coat with a new pair of trousers. —Philadelphia Ledger. Musical Note. What musical instrument has had an honorary degree conferred upon it?

THOMAS H. WHITE, D. D., Grand Prelate, Grand Lodge of Va., K. of P. CABRERA RECOGNIZES HUERTA GOVERNMENT. Washington. Surprised—Action is Departure from usual Custom... to await Step by United States. Washington, June 23.—Word has reached Washington of the recognition of the Huerta Government in Mexico by President Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala. The Guatemalan President has received a new Mexican Minister to his Government and has exchanged autograph letters with President Huerta. The Christlansburg Summer Normal Rapidly Filling Up. Christlansburg, Va.—(Special to Richmond Planet)—The indications are that the largest Summer Normal that has ever been held during the six years of its operation will be at Christlansburg this Summer. It opens July 1st and closes August 2d. The facilities at the school are limited. Conductor E. A. Long states that most of the rooms available at the school have been reserved by persons who have sent in their tuition. The significance of this art of recognition of the Mexican provisional Government by its Central American neighbor is found in the fact that it is a departure from the usual course of Guatemala, which is to follow the lead of the United States in regard to such matters in Latin America. In some quarters there is a disposition to believe that the recognition of the Huerta Government is an indication of the intent of President Estrada Cabrera to follow the lead of Great Britain in Central American and Mexican affairs rather than that In JULI JACKSON H. L. JACKSON, Grand Vice Chancellor, Grand Lodge of Va., K. of P. The Guatemalan recognition of the Huerta Government followed closely upon the yielding of that Government to the demands of the British Government for a settlement of its financial obligations to British creditors. The direct settlement of this affair with Great Britain was a surprise in Washington, where it had been expected that Estrada Cabrera would choose to make his settlement with the British indirectly by means of a new loan to be placed in the United States. The British pressure upon the Guatemalan Government was so strong, however, accompanied by the threat of occupation of the port of Barrios by a British warship in case of a refusal to comply, that a settlement was made on the last day of the time set by Great Britain. Another indication of the desire of Estrada Cabrera to cultivate the good will of the British Government followed his embarrassing experience with the London Foreign Office and Minister Carden in the sending of Antonio Bates Jauragul to London on a special mission. So far as is known in Washington there is no longer any particular basis for the Guatemalan jurist to look after in London now that the British debt has been arranged. The loan negotiations, with which he was concerned in the United States have all been confined to New York and Washington and it is understood there is not and never has been any intention of seeking to obtain a loan from British bankers. It seems that John Phillips, Esq. succeeded not only in collecting the money for the London bankers, but that the English government has formed virtually an alliance with the Guatemalan government. of the United States. Christiansburg, Va.—(Special to Richmond Planet)—The indications are that the largest Summer Normal that has ever been held during the 51 years of its operation will be at Christiansburg this Summer. It opens July 1st and closes August 2d. The facilities at the school are limited. Conductor E. A. Long states that most of the rooms available at the school have been reserved by persons who have sent in their tuition. If the applications keep up at the present rate all rooms will be taken before the school opens. Herefore many teachers have come to the school without having previously written ten engaging rooms. The chances are that those who do so this year will be disappointed. Rooms will be reserved for those who send their tuition in advance until all rooms are taken. By sending tuition of $2.00 accoim modulations will be reserved until we are filled up. Send today. Address. E. A.
