VOL. XX. JAPS TAKE MUKDEN Russians are Driven From the City and Mikado's Forces Now in Full Possession. KUROPATKIN STILL RUNNING Ruslanan General Making Desperate Efforts to Escape Being Surrounded. Precipitate Retreat in Full Swing Toward Tie, Pass. Mukden is now in the hands of the Japanese and Field Marshal Oyama's first great objective has been accomplished after a prolonged and desperate battle. A single terse sentence from Tokio saying that the Japanese entered the ancient capital at 10 o'clock Friday and a confirmation dispatch from Yinkow, was the extent of the information. Kuropatkin is in full retreat, but the fate of his army is still in doubt. With Tie Pass his point of refuge, he is endeavoring to extricate his forces, but from the meager information in Friday's dispatches it is apparent that his position is extremely critical. Buhind the Japanese screen that has been gradually thrown to the west and north of Mukden, columns of infantry, and guns are reported to be moving northward. The Russians have been driven from their positions, and now are rushing northward towards Tie Pass, around which are high hills which were prepared for defenses after the battle of Liao Yang in September. That the Russians have lost many guns and large quantities of ammunition and supplies is certain. Immense stores, it seems certain, have been destroyed. The Japanese have not yet reported the capture of guns, but it seems hardly likely that Kuropatkin could have removed all of his artillery. The result of Oyama's great turning movement is said to depend on General Kawamura's army, which is supposed to be moving from the east toward Kuropatkin's line of retreat. Should he reach the military road, which runs almost in a direct line from Fushun to Tie Pass, before the passage of the Russian army, the circle will be complete, as Nogi's guns already command the railway and should soon control the Mandarin road, which is a short distance east of the railway and runs parallel with it. Even should Kuropatkin extricate his army, it is believed in some European capitals that peace will follow this latest Japanese victory. The calling to St. Petersburg of Mr. Iswelsky, Russian minister to Denmark, who formerly was in Tokyo, is regarded as significant. The lessees in the operations preceding the battle proper must have reached enormous proportions, but up to the present neither side has attempted an estimate. They will exceed the Shakhe losses, in which the Russians alone lost in killed, wounded and missing 67,000 men. Field Marshal Oyama arranged his attack so that the Chinese city of MuKden should not come within the range of battle, rather an easy task, as the Russians had no positions immediately around the city, as was the case at Liao Yang, and the Russian town is two miles from the outer walls of the old city. Oyama's Telegram. A Tokio special says: Field Marshal Oyama telegraphs as follows, under Friday's date: "We occupied Mukden at 10 o'clock this morning. Our surrounding movement, in which we have been engaged for some days past, has now completely succeeded. The fiercest fighting at several places in the vicinity of Mukden took place. "We captured a great number of prisoners, enormous quantitles of arms, ammunition, provisions and other war supplies. There is at present no time to investigate the number of these." General Europatkin sent the following dispatch to Emperor Nicholas, under-Friday's date: "Last night began the retreat of all our armies. During the night there was no fighting but a heavy cannonade." In the above eight words the greatest defeat in the history of the Far Eastern war was made known in.St. Petersburg. This brief message was flung over the streets in newspaper extras, and it was passed from mouth BATE FUNERAL IN SENATE Impressive Services Held in Upper House Over Remains of Dead Tennessee Senator. A Washington special says: The funeral services for William B. Bate of Tennessee were held in the senate chamber Friday afternoon. The president of the United States, the members of his cabinet, the chief justice and associate justices of the supreme court, the diplomatic corps, members of the house of representatives who are in the city and representations of the army were present and occupied seats in the chamber. The body of the late senator was brought from the Ebbitt house to the capitol at 1:45 p. m., and was met by the committee of escort at the bronze door of the senate wing. The committee formed in open rank and after the remains had passed through followed to the senate chamber. An exception was made to the senate rule adopted recently excluding flowers from the chamber. The deck of the secretary and clerks of the senate was completely covered with beautiful offerings, mostly of roses, carnations, hyacinths and violets. When the casket was brought in it was accompanied by a number of immense floral tributes which were placed on the casket. The galleries were crowded and extra seats had been placed on the floor, some of them being occupied by members of the house. The ceremony was begun at 2:03 p. m., when Vice President Fairbanks rapped for order. The officiating clergy, Chaplain Hale of the senate, Dr. Samuel H. Green, pastor on the Calvary Baptist church, and Dr. J. E. Prettyman of the Mount Vernon Square Methodist church, South, took seats at the secretary's desk. After all were seated Dr. Greene read a passage from the Bible and Dr. Prettyman delivered the funeral address. Paying a high tribute to the character of Senator Bate, Dr. Prettyman culloged the record the deceased had made in the service of his country in statesmanship and in the Mexican war. He praised the gallant fighting qualities displayed by the senator in that later conflict, the civil war, in which he served the confederacy. The address was brief, consuming not over seven minutes. The services were closed with prayer by Dr. Charles Hale, closing with the Lord's Prayer, in which all joined. Dr. Hale read an announcement to the effect that all who cared to accompany the remains to Nashville, Tenn., for the funeral would be accommodated on a special train over the Southern railway, which would leave Washington at 8 p. m. Senator Carmack then escorted Mrs. Bate and other members of the family from the chamber. President Roosevelt and his cabinet, the suprema court, diplomatic corps and other guests retired, and on motion of Senator Allison, the senate at 2:30 adjourned until Monday. The remains lay in the closed senate chamber until 7 p. m., when they were taken to the special train for Nashville. The members of the senate who went to Nashville are Messrs. Carmack, Procton, Daniel, Pettus, Scott and Overman. Only three members of the Tennessee delegation in the house of representatives were in the city, Messrs. Sims, Brownlow and Gaines. They accompanied the family to Tennessee. to mouth. Two thoughts formed instantly in the minds of every one, and two words on every lip: "Surrender—peace!" the former dreaded, the latter hoped for. General Kuropatkin is no maker of phrases; his words never are quoted like the famous "All is lost save horer," but his laconic message hides more than probably any two other sentences in the literature of war- News addens Russla A St. Petersburg special says: The dispatches of the Associated Press from Toklo and Yinkow announcing that Mukden had fallen and that the Japanese captured thousands of prisoners and enormous quantities of stores and guns only confirm the worst fears entertained here, the dispatches received here last night having shown that the trap was sprung. The announcement furnished a miserable end to the Russian carnival week. Friday being a holiday, the war office was closed to the public, hundreds of people in quest of news besieging the doors in vain; inside the gloom was intense. Officers stood around discussing the catastrophe, seemingly without a ray of hope. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 18, 1905. SLAVS ESCAPE NET By.Bold Strategy Kuropatkin Saves Remnant of His Army. Russian Doad, Wounded and Captured Estimated at 150,000 Men, Besides Japa Secure Enormous Amount of Ammunition and Stores of Incalculable Value. Official information from Russian headquarters in the field, supplemented by dispatches from the Associated Press correspondent with the Russian army, show that General Kuropatkin, after suffering by far the most severe defeat of the war, has succeeded, as he did after the battle of Liao Yang, in extricate the remnants of his army from a position military experts, 24 hours before, believed would result in annihilation or surrender. After fighting for nearly three weeks, losing in killed, wounded and missing, probably a third of his army, or nearly 150,000 men, a fourth of his artillery. Kuropatkin gathered what was left north of Mukden and began taking them towards Tle Pars through a rain of shrapnel, which was thrown from right and left. The retreat commenced Friday morning and as the Japanese forces on the east, which were to join hands with the western army and cut off the retreat, did not cross the Fushun-Mukden road until Saturday morning, the Russians had a full day's start of their pursuers, and, having no guns or baggage to delay them, seems to have made good their escape. There is still a chance of General Kawamura's army taking a hand in the battle, and, should they strike the Russians at Tle Pass, or cut their communications to the northward, the disaster to General Kuropatkin's once fine army may be complete. What part of his army the Russian general has saved is apparently not known at the Russian headquarters. All dispatches indicate that part of his force has been cut off. General Kaulbars seems to have extricated his corps, likewise Bilderling, but not so with Linevitch. Over 100,000 Russians Slain. Field Marshal Oyama, reporting to Tokio Sunday, says: "The armies on the Shakhe quarter reported up to Sunday morning the following approximate figures, which are still increasing: "Prisoners, over 40,000, including Major General Nakhimoff. Russian corpses on the field, 26,500; other Russian casualties 90,000; trophies, two ensigns, sixty guns, 60,000 rifles, 150 ammunition wagons, 1,000 army wagons, 200,000 shells, 25,000,000 shots for rifles, 74,000 bushels of grain, materials for light railroad for 45 miles, three hundred wagons for light road, two thousand horses, twenty-three Chinese carts full of maps, 1,000 Chinese carts full of clothing, 1,000,000 portions of bread, 150,000,000 pounds of fuel, 223,000 bushels of horse allowances, and 125,000 pounds of hay. The report from the Singking quarter has not yet been received." "War to the Bitter End." A St. Petersburg special, under Sunday's date, says: The immediate answer of the Russian government to the defeat of Mukden is the announcement that a new army will be raised and the forces in the Far East reorganized; that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky will be ordered to sail on and try conclusions with Togo, and that the war will be prosecuted to the bitter end. This is the present temper of Emperor Nicholas and his dominant advisers, voiced in a firm official announcement that the position of Russia is unchanged and that the initiative for peace can only come from Japan. NOTED SPENDTHRIFT DEAD. Marquis of Anglesey, Passes In His Checks at Monte Carlo. The marquis of Anglesey died at Monte Carlo Tuesday. The marquis was notable through his personal and financial eccentricities. His demise is much regretted at Bangor, Wales, where, despite his idiosyncrasies, he was greatly liked. In the short space of six years the young clothes and jewel manisse, as he is commonly described, ran through a magnificent property and $2,500,000. In addition to his annual income of upward of $500,000. PEACE TALK REVIVED. Many Diplomats Believe Czar Will Be Forced to End War as Result of Disaster at Mukden. A Washington special says: When the czar calls his war council he will be able to inform them that Japan will welcome peace on reasonable terms and will promptly name her conditions, provided she receives trustworthy assurances. that they will be seriously considered. This the emperor has learned from friendly chancellors in Europe, as well as the general terms acceptable to Japan. These, it is said, include the retention by Japan of Port Arthur, a Japanese protectorate over Korea and an indemnity. From a high official the Associated Press hears that Russia has recalled her second Pacific squadron. An attache of a Russian embassy in Europe is quoted as expressing the belief that Kuropatkin's recent defeat will force Russia to ask for peace. Briefly, these were the reports current in the diplomatic corps Monday, and as a result of this important information official Washington now believes that Russia and Japan are on the verge of peace. If it be true that the second Pacific squadron has been recalled, even the most optimistic of Russia's friends admit that this is a strong indication that Oyama's mighty blow has made for peace. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador at Washington, is the notable exception in the group of foreign envoys at the capital. "However generous the terms which Japan might offer," the ambassador said, "Russian prestige is not among them. That is one thing for which the war will be fought to the end. Victory for the Russian arms will alone make peace. If not at Tie Pass, then at Harblin; Russia will assemble another army mightier than before and with that army she will settle the issue. It may be six months, a year or perhaps two years. Time will be no consideration." At the Japanese legation it is declared that St. Petersburg and not Tokio is the capital from which the world must hope for peace proposals. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, said in the most emphatic manner that Japan had not directly proposed peace. He did not deny that the neutral powers through their envoys from time to time had sounded Japan as to the terms on which she would accept peace, but these he said necessarily changed with the progress of hostilities, the intimation being that Russia could have obtained better terms after the fall of Port Arthur than after the capture of Mukden. If the Japanese government were assured that peace proposals would be entertained by Russia, there is authority for the statement that Japan would respond immediately. But she will insist that these assurances must be of the most positive character. Japan's experience in the negotiations preceding the war, it is said, will make her exceedingly cautious in the future. She will insist that such assurances shall come from the Russian government, and not from this or that party, or this or that friend of the emperor, A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The announcement made in the name of the government in the face of the overwhelming disaster suffered by General Kuropatkin that a fresh army would be raised and the war proceed and the haughty attitude assumed by Japan may after all be simply a sparring for position which is the prelude of peace. So far as the public in St. Petersburg is concerned peace is the only thing talked of, the sentiment being that if diplomacy can now bring the warring powers into negotiations peace will follow. HOLDING COMPANY ORGANIZED. All Plans for Retiring Two Million Bales Perfected at New Orleans. The Planters' Cotton Holding and Commission company was perfected at the meeting in New Orleans held on the 10th instant, officers elected and plans made for the proper time retiring two million bales of cotton from the market until next October. Remains of Dead Senator Lay in State and Viewed by Many Thousands. Under the shot-rent, powder-stained battle flag of the Second Tennessee Confederate regiment, which he led at Chickamauga, and with the Stars and Stripes floating at half mast from the dome of the capitol building, the remains of United States Senator Bate lay in state at Nashville Sunday. Twenty-five thousand people, it is estimated, viewed the remains and other thousands were massed, about the building, awaiting their turn, when the doors were closed for the night. CASSIE FOUND GUILTY. Jury Decides Against Mrs. Chadwick on Trial for Conspiracy—Prisoner Collapses and Goes Into Hysteria. In court at Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday night, Mrs. Cassle, L. Chadwick was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the United States by conspiring to procure the certification of checks on a national bank, when there were no funds in the bank to her credit. She was found guilty on every count of the indictment upon which the jury was at liberty to judge her—seven in all. The original indictment contained sixteen counts. Two of these were ruled out during the trial by Judge Tayler, and of the remaining fourteen, one half charged her with securing the certification of checks without having the proper entries made upon the books of the bank. Judge Tayler in his charge directed the jury to disregard these counts and consider only the remaining seven, which related to the certification with no funds on deposit. On all of these the jury found against her. Under the law she can be fined on each count not more than $10,000 or imprisonment more than two years on each count, or she may be fined a maximum of $10,000 and also imprisoned for two years on each count. The jury reached a verdict. in two hours, but it was not read until 8:33 o'clock at night. Pending application for a new trial sentence was suspended. While being taken from the courtroom Mrs. Chadwick's composure deserted her utterly. She violently threw off the arm of Deputy Marshal Clobitz, and that of her son, exclaiming: "Let me go. Oh! my God, let me go!" She tootled in weakness and Clobitz, together with Deputy Marshal Minder, stepped quickly to her side. "I'm not guilty," she exclaimed, and then with all the energy gone from her voice, she moaned again and again. "Oh, let me go, let me go. I'm not guilty, I tell you. Let me go." Suddenly she fell against Judge Wing. He caught her by the shoulders and kept her from falling until Deputy Marshal Minder came up on the other side. Together the two men lifted her bodily and bore her into the elevator, which descended one floor and she was taken, half walking and half carried, into the office of United States Marshal Chandler and placed upon a sofa. An attack of hysterics followed that lasted fully fifteen minutes, her sobs and cries being distinctly audible in the hall outside. In speaking of the verdict of the jury J. P. Dawley, Mrs. Chadwick's senior counsel, said that the verdict was not according to the terms of the indictment and that the case would be taken to the court of appeals at Cincinnati as soon as possible. KUROPATKIN ASSUMES BLAME. Says Defeat of Russian Armies in Manchuria is All His Fault. General Kuropatkin has telegraphed Emperor Nicholas assuming himself all the responsibility for his defeat, making no excuses except that the strength of the Japanese was miscalculated, and refusing to place any of the blame upon the council of generals upon whose advice he determined to give battle. This manly course and the general's personal exertions in directing the retreat will, however, hardly save him. His reputation as an offensive strategist has gone, and though the emperor's military advisers know not where to look for a better general, his resignation will be accepted. BODY CAUGHT ON FISH HOOK. Remains of Fireman Bates Finally Recovered from the Chattahoochee. The body of Fireman Bates, who was on the ill-fated locomotive that plunged into the Chattahoochee river at the Centfal railroad drawbridge, near Columbia, Ala., twenty days ago, was found Saturday night, having been caught upon a set-hook placed in the river by negro fishermen. The other bodies are still missing. MEYER TO PUT ON STYLE. United States Ambassador Leases Pal- ace at St. Petersburg. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: Geo. Von L. Meyer has leased the famous Kleinmichael palace for his term as American ambassador, here. It is an imposing structure lying on a fashion- able thoroughfare, near the French and other embassies. Its interior is one of the most gorgeous in St. Petersburg. It was occupied for several years by Prince Pio, the Spanish ambassador, but for some years has been unoccupied. PEONAGELAWVALIB Supreme Court of United States Upholds Statute. CLYATT CASE IS DECIDED On Technicality the Finding of Court Was in Favor of Georgia Turpentine Operator - Summary of the Noted Case. The supreme court of the United States in a decision handed down Monday sustains the contentions of Senator Bacon and Representative Branley in the Clyatt peonage case, brought up from the Florida courts last year. The decision of the lower court is reversed, and while the supreme court orders a new trial for Clyatt Senator Bacon is of the opinion that the defendant will be a free man and that the other cases pending in the courts, numbering several hundred, will be dismissed. The Clyatt case was regarded as a test of the validity of the indictment under the cases where cases where brought into court. The decision incidentally reverses the judgment rendered by Judge Chas Swayne, who tried the case originally, though Clyatt is from Lowndes county, Georgia, and the alleged offense was committed there. Clyatt, who resided in Georgia, was charged with taking two negro men, Gordon and Ridley, in custody while they were employed in Florida. The proceedings therefore originated in the latter state. Sections 1990 and 5526 of the Revised Statutes were involved. The court sustained their constitutionality, saying: "We entertain no doubt of the validity of this legislation or of its applicability to the case of any person holding another in a state of peonage and this whether there be municipal or ordinance for state law sanctioning such holding. It operates directly on every citizen of the republic, wherever his residence may be." Calling attention to the charge in the indictment the justice said: 'It was essential to show that Gordon and Ridley had been in a condition of peonage to which by the act of the defendant they were returned. We are not at liberty to transform this indictment into one charging that the defendant held them in a state of peonage or that he arrested them with a view of placing them in such a state. "The testimony discloses that the defendant with another party went to Florida and caused the arrest of Gordon and Ridley on warrants issued by a magistrate of Georgia for larceny, but there can be little doubt that these criminal proceedings were only an excuse for securing the custody of Gordon and Ridley and taking them back to Georgia to work out a debt. While this is true, there is not a scintilla of testimony to show Gordon and Ridley were ever therefore in a condition of peonage. We are constrained therefore to order a reversal of the judgment and remand the case for a new trial." Justice Brewer said the trial court should on this account have taken the case from the jury. Justice Harlan dissented, saying that in his opinion there was evidence tending to make a case within the statute. The accused made no objection to the submission of the case to the jury, he said, "and it is going very far to hold in a case like this disclosing barbarities of the worst kind against these negroes that the trial court erred in sending the case to the jury." Both on account of the prominence of the defendant and of the importance of the questions involved in his case the decision of the supreme court has been awaited with considerable interest all over the south. In this case the thirteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States was for the first time presented to the supreme court for construction and interpretation. The constitutionality of the peonage laws were also called into question and several other important issues of law were involved. The peonage laws were enacted in 1867 and were directed, though not expressly, to New Mexico, in which territory the old Mexican law providing for and sanctioning a system of peonage had not been abolished. The palatable intention of the law was to repeal the laws legalizing peonage or servitude for debt, in the territory of New Mexico. It lay unnoticed on the statute books until about 1909, and the Clyttt case is the first test of the law submitted to the supreme court of rss . wn TS 4 ag art s Ths Sevanaeh Tribune, ‘ pale - Pownmese EvesyGurumar, -” BY THE TEISUNS PUBLISEING.0O 116 W.

And the teeming harvests crowned it all, Ab the closing of the year. Then all his life seemed filled with joy As the harvest home drew near. And still his children work away With strong and sturdy will, To the soft low note of the waying corn, As it grows on vale and hill; While the throngs that line the busy streets May flourish or may fall, And evermore the farmer's hand Must feed and keep them all. —J. B. M. Wright, in American Cultivator. A German Romance Complicated by the Entanglement of a Sonnet and Some Curl Papers FROM THE GERMAN. AX VON KRIECHNAN was engaged in swinging dumbbells when the bell of his apartment rang. At this early hour it could be only an intimate friend AX VON KRIECHNAN was engaged in swinging dumbbells when the bell of his apartment rang. At this early hour it could be only an intimate friend or the grocer, so Max continued to exercise in peace. Presently, however, his housekeeper rapped loudly at the door. "Herr Max, Herr Max; there is a young lady to see you." "A young lady, at 0 o'clock in the morning? She has struck the wrong apartment, Frau Emma." "But she said 'Herr Max von Kriechnan,' and she has a vallse with her." "Very well. Tell her I'll be out in a moment. There must be some mistake somewhere." Max hurried into his coat and made his way to the front room which served as parlor and bachelor den alike. The young lady was standing in the middle of the room, and as Max entered, she hastened toward him and promptly kissed him on both cheeks. Quick as her action was, Max had time to see that his visitor was very pretty. Accordingly, he returned her caresses with interest, a fact that made the young lady stand back a little as she cried: "I was sure you would recognize me." As she spokes Max divined who she was. "Gretchen—you here?" "You are all I have left in the world," ried the young girl, beginning to weep; my father is dead, and I do not snow-where to go or what to-do. "Don't cry so, Gretchen, how can it be possible that you are eighteen? Why, it seems only yesterday that I was dancing you up and down on my shoulder." "That was twelve years ago," replied Gretchen, drying her eyes. "They said you would not recognize me." "What a mistake!" protested Max, mendaciously. "You used to be a pretty little girl, but you are bewitching now." "Truly?" said Gretchen, smiling through her tears. "Tell me, Max, may I come and live with you now? I promise I won't be a nuisance. They told me at home I'd better be a companion or something to somebody, but I don't want to one bit. Do let me stay with you, won't you? Please." "Stay with me?!" Max repeated. He was about to say: "But you can't do that. It would not be proper." The sight of Getchen's imploring, blue eyes and her trusting smile stopped him, however. Instead, he said brightly: "Keep you? Of course I will. We can arrange it somehow." "But you must let me be useful," cried the young girl, happily. "I can keep house for you. And you write all the time, do you not?" "Yes." "Then I will copy all your manuscripts. I used to do it for father, and I really write quite well. Poor papa!" The tears began to flow again, and Max hastened to exclaim briskly: "Then you will be my secretary. Just what I was wanting." The same returned, this time to stay. It was true that Max von Kriechman was beginning to acquire a certain celebrity, and he was doubly thankful for this after Gretchen's advent. He accepted an offer to write a serial story for one of the newspapers, an offer he had been too capricious to consider before. This allowed him to change his bachelor quarters for a larger apartment, where there was room for Gretchen, and, with an elderly housekeeper installed, Max felt that he had satisfied his orphan cousin and Mrs. Grundy alike. Once settled, the young man almost forgot Gretchen's existence, save during the mornings when she wrote at his dictation. He was vaguely aware that it was pleasant to have her around, but her girlish charms soon faded from his mind when his work done, he hastened to call on the charming widow, Frau Bettina. Rumpel, whose abject slave he was. There is no passion so absorbing as that provoked by a pretty and coquettish widow, and Frau Bettina was past mistress in the art. Accordingly, Max knew that he was safe from any danger of falling in love with Gretchen. But the young girl, alas, had no such preservative, and to his consternation the author's critical eye soon noticed that Gretchen was betraying the most dangerous symptoms. There was but one thing to do, and Max promptly made up his mind that, cruel as it was, he would tell his coun sin of his love for the, all captivating wldoy. "I am very glad for you, Cousin Max," said. Gretchen calmly, "as he ended his confession. 'Do you think you will be married soon?' Her voice, sounded perfectly calm and unimposed, and somehow Max was distinctly vexed that he took his news so quietly. "I am very glad," Gretchen repeated, as she took a paper from the desk and twisted it into curl papers about her pretty curls. She treated Max as she would have treated an elder brother, and the familiar action served to reassure him completely. "I must have made a mistake," the young man thought to himself as Gretchen, with a soft good-night, left the room. The next day Max awoke with a light heart. He was no longer troubled about his cousin, and to-day Frau Bettina had promised to give him a definite answer. Their last interview had been of a nature to leave the anxious lover with high hopes of success. In fact, his triumphant love had demanded expression in a sonnet which he had sat up late to compose. This, Max determined, should accompany the most beautiful flowers that money could buy; and when he was sure that the object of his devotion had received his offering he would go himself and demand the confirmation of his ardent hopes. "Grétench!" At the sound of Max's impatient voice the young girl came quickly out of her room, still dressed in a wrapper and her forehead surrounded by a row of bristling curl papers. "Good morning, Max. Did you call me?" "Yes. Has any one been meddling with my papers?" "Mercy, no, you may be sure that no one except youself ever sits at your desk, and I never allow any one to go into the library. But is anything missing?" "Y-yes, a-a-something I had written—" "A page of manuscript?" Max turned sharply toward his cousin. Did that new note in her voice mean that she was laughing at him? Forgetting himself in his irritation, he cried angrily: "So it was you, then, who took my poetry! You saw to whom it was addressed and—" Max stopped, ashamed at the sight of Gretchen's haughty face. "Forgive me, child. I was vexed, extremely vexed. This poetry—a sonnet—had a special importance for me and—it is a ridiculous thing to confess—I am absolutely unable to write it over. I cannot even remember a single line. My mind is a perfect blank. Ach. Himmel! was ever a man so unlucky before?" Away he went, slamming the door behind him. Max did not return until evening, and even as he had done in the morning, he slammed the door upon his return. Entering his library, he was disagreeably surprised to find an empty room instead of a warm fire with Gretchen toasting her toes before it. "Gretchen!" In answer to his call, the young girl hastily appeared, still dressed in her flowing wrapper and curl papers. "What!" Max exclaimed. "Not dressed yet? At 6 o'clock in the evening?" For all answer, Gretchen began to cry. "I-I was so-so sorry about that poetry," she sobbed. "I have—been hunting—for it all day long, and I can't find it anywhere—and I'm so tired—and so discouraged—for now you'll never trust me again—" "Hunting for my old sonnet!" cried Max. "Why, Gretchen, child, I can never be thankful enough that I did not send it. If you only knew—but listen. "When I went this morning to see the—the lady I told you about yesterday, can you guess what welcome awaited me? The announcement of her marriage to a horrible old man, a man as rich as he is wicked, which is saying, a great deal!" "Then—then—you do not love her any longer!" "I detest her! Oh! Gretchen, dear little girl, do not cry so hard. Come, forgive me for all the pain I have caused you." Max put his arm around her and drew her head down upon his shoulder, "Stop crying, little cousin, and I tell you what we'll do. You hurry and get dressed, and then we'll go off and have a nice little supper somewhere and then go to the theatre. Will that please you?" As he spoke Max patted the soft hair beneath his hand and pricking his fingers on one of the stubby curl papers, drew it carefully off. Suddenly a deep and hearty burst of laughter filled the room. "Look, Gretchen," cried the young man. And spreading out the paper before the eyes of the astonished Gretchen, Max showed her the missing sonnet! "Oh. Max, indeed I did not mean—" "Hush, child, this poem was written to a couette. I was a blind fool then, but now my eyes are opened. Oh, Gretchen, dearest Gretchen, can you believe me when I tell you how grateful I am to a merciful Providence which has preserved me from saying I love you, to one who will never know what love is and who has brought you, little one, back to your true place in my heart?" "My true place—" Gretchen repeated slowly. "Keep the poetry, sweetheart," Max continued, as, meeting with no repulse, he drew the young girl closely to his heart. "Keep the poetry, if you will, but let me tell you in prose what has long been true, although I realize best to day: that I love you and only you." CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT: HOW TO MAKE A MERRY-GO-ROUND. This is easily made and will afford a great deal of amusement. It consists of stringing different things on a hatpin and sticking the pin through a box. The things needed are: A large empty spool, three corks, a string a yard long, two shank buttons, a long hatpin, some pasteboard and an empty notepaper box. Cut from pasteboard a piece the size and shape of an ordinary tea plate. Divide the circle into quarters, and at the left of each division draw a line about five-eighths of an inch away from it. Cut out the four wedge-shaped pieces between the bands and bend up CANOPY B CANOPY B CUT OUT CUT OUT CUT OUT CUT OUT A each band five-eighths of an inch. (See Figure A.) On these ena paste stiff paper animals, either scrapbook pictures or animals cut from magazines, pasted on stiff paper. When fastening animals to the merry-go-round paste the body to the turned-up end of the pasteboard band. To make the canopy, cut out another circle, a little larger than the first, and point it around the edges, turning the points down. (See Figure B.) Pass the hatpin through the exact centre and put on one of the corks, working it up tight to hold the canopy in place. String on another cork, working it up midway on the pin, then slide on the band with the animals attached, pasting it firmly to the large spool. wanter slice the o' Thursday, an' o' the wick."—Yo STORY OF A Away out west, a farmer was ve chicken hawks He was oblged t gun near the hein moment's notice.

Puncture two, one inch from the front edge and four inches apart. These are on the lid. Then make two more holes through both the lid and the box on its front side one-half inch from the top and five inches apart. Stick the loaded pin through the centre of the lid and cover the extreme point with the last cork, which must lie firmly on the bottom of the inside, of the box. Now the merry-go-round is ready for the machinery. Pass the string around the spool, crossing the two ends in front. Thread one of the ends through the two holes on its own side of the box, bringing the end out from the front. Do the same with the other end of the string. To keep the string from slipping back, the a shank button to each end. (See Fig. C.) Now, holding the box, with one hand, gently pull one end of the string with the other and see the animals go whirling around, just like the wooden lions, giraffes and goats on the real carousels.

QUEER ALMANACS The boundary-riders of the great Australian sheep-ranches have each a district, to look after, in which one must keep the wire fences in repair, and see that the sheep come' to no harm. It is a hard and lonely life, living, as each boundary-rider does, quite alone in the wilderness. A writer tells of some of the curious ways in which these solitary men keep count of the days. One old chap, who had lived in the back country for thirty years, used two jam tins and seven pebbles. One tin was marked "This week," and the other "Last week." On Monday morning he would take a pebble from "Last week" and drop it into "This week," and on every subsequent morning, till "This week" had swallowed the seven. They were returned to "Last week," and the old fellow knew that another Sunday had passed. Another man had tried and failed with several plans. At last, he hit on a new idea. He made a big damper (cake of flour and water) on Sunday. Eight, and marked it into seven sec. tions, each section being a day's allowance,' so that at every time he picked up the damper the grooves would remind him of the day. Unfortunately there came a visitor with a ravenous appetite. The host stinted himself that the hungry one might be satisfied with the day's section. But he wasn't. With anxious eyes the host saw the knife clearing the, boundary line, and the hungry man ruthlessly carving into his almanac. "Stop! stop!" he cried, as he grabbed the damper, and glared at it. "There," he said, "you've eaten Toosday and We'n'sday, and now yet CUT OUT CUT OUT CUT OUT CUT OUT A wanter slice the best o' the mornin' off o' Thursday, an' I won't know, the day o' the wick."—Young People's Paper. STORY OF A CHICKEN HAWK Away out west, on a ranch in Texas, a farmer was very much annoyed by chicken hawks stealing his poultry. He was obl.ged to keep a loaded shotgun near the henryn, ready to use at a moment's notice. Like all children, his little daughter Jenny would often steal away to the poultry yard to feed the chickens, chase the roosters, the geese and the turkey gobblers. One morning, while her mamma was busy in the kitchen, Jenny was told to play mother to her little baby sister and watch her carefully. Taking her into the 'garden,' she showed her all the pretty flowers, then how to make mud pies. Soon the baby grew restless, tired of making mud pies, and hearing the roosters crowing she began calling, "Chickey, Chickey, Chickey." Jenny, thinking it woul be great fun for the baby as well as for herself to see the hens, carried her to the poultry yard. Putting the baby down on the ground near some bags of wheat, she ran off to the pump to mix some corn meal for the baby chicks. $^2$ All of a sudden she heard, a loud flapping of wings in the air. Looking around for the noise, she was surprised to see a big chicken, hawk hovering over the baby's head. Before she could reach her sister's side, he had lifted her from the ground with his powerful claws, and was trying to fly away with the crying, struggling child. Though terribly frightened, Jenny had the presence of mind to scream for her father, who was working in a field nearby. It took him but a minute to get his gun and take sure aim, for well he knew his child's life depended upon it. The baby was very heavy, she screamed and struggled, so that the chicken hawk could neither fly fast nor high. The father aimed well, for he shot the bird's head off. Instantly he released his hold on the poor, scared baby. She fell to the ground, crying bitterly. Jenny helped her father pick her up. Fortunately, she was only a little scratched and bruised. The father, carrying his baby on one arm and the lead chicken hawk in the other, hastened to the cottage. He met his wife on the porch. Jenny had run ahead and told her mother the thrilling story. With big tears streaming down her cheeks, she begged forgiveness for having taken her sister to the poultry yard. The large chicken hawk was sent to a taxidermist to be stuffed, and in its stomach was found Jenny's little gold ring. It had slipped from her finger some months before while mixing cornmeal for the little chicks, and this greedy chicken hawk had swallowed it down with the cornmeal he stole from the chickens.

The sailor's devotion to Ellen became more and more apparent, and Herbert absented himself more than ever, and made no attempt to regain Ellen's wandering affections when he was at home. Mrs. de Lisle watched the progress of the sailor's love-making complacent- ly, and the old man was perfectly de- lighted both with Ellen and her suitor, and began contemplating purchasing certain cozy cottage he knew of as a bridal gift to his ward.

WIN Fight Rural Dellwerr. A concerted movement against the continuance of the rural mall delivery system in its present character has been starfed by organtzations of bust- ness men and merchants all over the country, says Fourth Estate. The men In these organizations will protest to Congress against the extension of the present system and will advoeate-its curtailment along sweeping lines. It 1s understood that the system has never been pronouticedly popular with business men and opposition against it las become more pronounced than ever recently on account of the exposure of some of the uses to which it has been put, and especially since the publica- tion of Postmaster General Wynne's estimate of the cost’ of the extensions authorized by Congress for the coming year. The class of business men who are supposed to“b~ the most directly hurt by the rural-fbe delivery system are the country merchants. ‘Through the operation of the system they are sald to be more than ever exposed to the competition of the mail order houses, and they declare that in many sections the farmers have stopped coming to town to buy since the establishment of the free dellPery routes. This, of ‘course, reacts on the jobbers and wholesalers inf the large citles, and the result is that the trade of both city Hind country has suffered. severely. Mr. Wynne's estimates ‘show that in order to carry out the plans authorized by Congress there will be needed an aiditional appropriation of more thin $6,000,000, for the extension of the rural free delivery system alone. This will make the tofal cost,of the service about $27,000,000, which, :t is estimat- cd, is a cost of about $2.25 a head for the beneflelaries of the system. These beneficiaries, however, pay only 25 cents a head of the cbst, which leave a tax of $2 for each one to be paid by the general business commun: tte, An Interesting Bridge. ‘There is in process of construction across the United States ship canal at Duluth, Minn. a bridge which will be the first of its kind in the United States, the fifth fn the world. ‘his aerial bridge, when completed, will be a very imposing structure.

A man eats if thie sher- 1ff is atthe door, if bis work drives, if the undertaker interrupts; and he is right. A woman will choose ice-cream instead of a beefsteak, and a man will not, . Another of her mistakes is not know- ing when to rest. If she is tired she may sit down, but she will darn stock ings, crochet shawls, embroider doll- fes.' Does she not know that hard work tires? If she is exhausted*she will write letters or figure her ac- counts. She will laugh, at you if you hint that reading or writing could. fail. to rest,her.

CROUCH & SISN, Nashville, Teen. Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of 'herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harm to women who are too mature, entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women, and thou sands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such symptoms as pain or weight in the loins, backache, bearing down pains, urine too frequent, scanty or high col- ored, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; un- usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet, swelling under the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kid- neys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the woman's remedy for woman's ills. The following letters show how marvelously successful it is. Lydia E.

CONSUMER'S REFERENCE Mrs. Samuel Frake, of Prospect Plains, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham, I cannot thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. When I first wrote to you I had suffered for years with what the doctor called "difficult eating" all the time, and I suffered so with that bearing-down feeling I could hardly walk across the room. I did not get any better, so decided to stop doctoring with my physician and take Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound and I felt sad to say it has entirely cured me. I do all my own work, have no more backaches and all the bad symptoms have disappeared. I cannot praise your medicine enough, and would advise all women suffering with kidney trouble to try it. Mrs. J. W. Lang, of 628 Third Avenue, New York, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— I have been a great sufferer with kidney trouble. My back ached all the time and I was discouraged. I heard that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound would cure kidney disease, and I began to take it; and it has cured me when everything she had failed. I am now convinced it to lots of people and they all praise it very highly. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from kidney trouble, or any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.

It was Tony Pastor who met me at a friend's house and to whom I confided my desire to go on the stage. He said he'd give me a position at once. Then I thought of my mother's disapproval; but Mr. Pastor suggested that I come down in my ordinary attire, sing a few ballads, and even then I could get back home before anyone missed me. It was a great temptation and I agreed. In order to keep it a secret, I took the stage name of Lillian Russell—my own was Helen Louise Leonard; but there was mother to be considered. For two weeks I went unsuspected, and then a newspaper man said pleasantly to my mother: 'You ought to see Lillian Russell, that English girl down at Pastor's.' Can you see me in a cold sweat? My mother went down to the performance; I hurried home, and reached there before she did; then I waited in terror until she arrived. She came in, looked me over, and said: "Well, I think you can afford to pay for your own music lessons,"—and after that I had to. I got $50 a week, and my first week's wages was advanced to get me the gown I wanted; and I paid it back, $10 each week. Now, when my salary is forty times as much, I haven't any more left."—Lillian Russell in National Magazine.

We had an item in the Chleftain a few weeks ago telling about Mr. Smith getting twenty-seven tons from one acre. That was considered a pretty good yield, but as his harvest has progressed he has found several acres - of his field that are yielding thirty-seven tons per acre. Now, let us figure a little on this. Thirty-seven tons at $5 per ton makes $185 per acre. The expenses of growing and marketing, the most of the work being done by Mr. Smith himself, is probably $35 per acre. This would leave him a net profit of $150 per acre. Such results as this ought to open the eyes of those who have been claiming that there is no money in growing beets.-Holly Chleftain. ATLANTA.

It can be length of time without stopping a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used on and off for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible if Peruna contains any drug of a narcotic nature. Add Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
