RUSSIANS ANNIHILATED Togo Swoops Down Upon Rojestvensk in the Straits of Korea and Shafters His Great Fleet of Warships. Three...Battleships, Admiral Nebogatoff and 3,000 Men Captured Not on Shining single Jap, Warship Injured. Togo has met and vanquished Ro- eattinsky. The embargol oil naval news was raised at Tokyo Monday morning and the Associated Press an- nounced that the great naval battle was fought Saturday and Sunday in the Straits of Korea, the Japan- ese, obtaining a complete and over- whelming victory. Rojeattinsky's fleet, composed of his most effective and powerful ships, was completely shattered. "Further advises concern the magnitude of the disaster suffered by the Russian fleet; and point to the fact that the Russians' hopes, so far as this war is concerned, now lie, anwhatever may be, accomplished by the off-beaten army, in Manchuria, an official report received from Tukhie, to the Japanese, legation at Washington on Monday evening, says that the Russian losses, definitely known include two battleships, a coast defense ship, five cruisers, two special ships, and three destroyers; tanks, and two battle ships, two coast defenses ships, one destroyer and one special service ship captured, while over 1000 prisoners have been taken. Including Rear Admiral Nebogato. Vice Admiral Robersteyn appears to have escaped. The Japanese, at last accounts, were still pursuing the Russians, and it may be some time before the final result is known: Accorded to Associated Press reports, the number of Russian vessels YT destroyed or sunk up to late Monday night, stood a nineteen. None of the Japanese warships were injured. How Contlict Began. According to the correspondent of the London Daily Mail at Seoul, Kored, early on Saturday morning, Wild Admired Togo, with practically all the powerful fighting ships of the Japanese, navy, was at Masamiya Korea, when pilgrims signals from his squota between Fish and Qinghai Islands announced the approach of the Russian fleet in full force. A few hours later, the scouts reported that the Russians were not ascending, the western channel as had been anticipated, but they were coming up the eastern channel, which caused some surprise. Admiral Togo immediately started at full speed around the north of the islands, and, when he doubled the island, he saw the Russians coming in two columns. He then brought a terrific fire to bear on the bank of her port column, and as the Russians fell into disorder, then forced them steadily eastward towards the Japanese coast, where they were attacked by every vessel that flew the Japanese flag. Repeted torpedo attacks were delivered, some of them with greatest success. The vessels which escaped, the correspondent says, will probably be able to reach St. Petersburg. Nicholas Weeps Over Disaster, A ST. Petersburg special sermon: After matthias theology of law and opening for direct hows from the centereed penalties of Vice. Admiral Roleslven- ture destroyed and beaten fleet, the Russian admiralty at midnight no matter attempted to hold out against, the overwhelming evidence pouring in from all directions that the fleet on which all their hopes were con- tended and suffered a greater disaster than did the combined French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar. More bitter even than defeat is the Japanese claim of the virtual annihil- tion of the Russian fleet, which prac- cinally no loss of their life and many offers cling doggedly to their belief the Vice Admiral Roleslven must have suffered heavily. and every inch of Hear Admiral vensky's original sixteen fighting ships absent from the list of vessels sunk or captured, and with the Japanese pursuit still continuing, the naval authority has the temibility to present that Russia can again attempt to wrest the mastery of the sea from Japan in the present year. The cannulated vessels alone will furnish Japan with ready-made reinforcements, which will be more than a match for the fourth Pacific squadron now about to sail from Cronstadt. The emperor was completely prostrated by the news, and, according to reports, he bribe down and wept. The effect of the disaster will be a instable blow to other government. The futility of trying to stagger on land is everywhere, recognized and the cry for "peace at any price" is sure, to be raised. This time it is believed, the government cannot resist, such a cry. Indeed the radical liberals are openly rebeling in this hour of their country's humiliation. They declare that the disaster means peace and a constitution, and that the deaths of thousands of their fellow-countrymen and the loss of over a hundred million dollars' worth of warships is not too big a price to pay. The friends of peace in the government are already apprehending the war party, with forcing the issue between Togolé and Roleskepsky. When the fleet appeared in the spirit of Malacca they tried vainly to persuade the emperor that the time was 'opportune for the opening' of peace negotiations, but the war party confined his majesty and Roleskepsky, for the honor of the 'navy', insisted that the fleet should be given a chance to retrieve the disasters suffered on land. Diplomats entertain no doubt that the belligerent faction will continue to urge that the war be fought to the bitter end but that the Indians of Russia abroad, and especially France, are now bringing, overwhaling, arguments to bear in favor of peace. Japs Rejoice Greatly The news of Togo's great victory over Bjergjesvanky all tallen in a wig, delirium of joy. While there, never has been a doubt in the minds of the people of the abjiffy of Togo to smash the Russians when they met the long-delay and impatient secrecy maintained had caused a collision of her real feeble flesh has now, often way past, unconcealed elf which grows as the magnitude of the victory becomes apparent. The last doubt of complete Japanese success has been removed by Togorii magnificent victory, and it is said, on high authority, that the land operations will be pushed, with great vigor, mow, and an effort will be made, without delay, to cut off the entire, Russian army, in Manchuria. Lief, of Ships, Sunk. In the battle, fought Saturday in the Strait of Korea, the Russian battleships Borodino and Alexander III, the armored cruisers Admiral Nakata, Dmitrii 'Donskol' and 'Dadjimir Monomich', the coast-defense cruiser Admiral Ousakshan, the protected cruisers 'Sriutskan' and 'Jenhtotchl', the repair ship Kamchatka and the lesieur Irritskan, were sunk. The battleship, Dyssil and Nicholls *And addie the Mkgsd* defense iron class *Admiral*, Spavin and General Admiral *Uprising* were captured. According to later advices, the Japanese in addition of the jelly's already named, captured the Russians battlefront, Welling, and the Russian, Hassalli, was seriously damaged. Reports were current, that the enemy exchange in London pursuing to he from authoritative, private, sources that Admiral Roelofskovnyk "private ship" (Kikh) Guvarovnyk was among the vessels that the Japanese were (wildly) attacking (with Hassallis and picking) on their ships, onlhydroo0017 A dispatch from Berlin, Germany, states that the evacuing passengers accept, without reserve, the ship patches from Tokyo and build on them the view that the war has entered upon the last phase in which the Japanese commander has will continue untreated until the end. The battle of Saturday is called the heated heeled nation for the hundred years, 1900-1990, galaggar, and is class- ed as being immensely greater than the Martial War of 1861, 1862 or the Havaii Battle of Haiti, 1898, and of liv notorious jumor supporting its BOWEN LOOMIS, DEFAR. Again considered by Secretary Taft, Wilson, Enlightened Appointment, to publish by Newsman, Managed to secure matter and examined at length. Nicholas Bldlldo a correspondent for the New York Times, who yielded Caracas home time and Mr. Bowen had published herd what purported to be a note from Mr. Loomis to Mr. Russell, the secretary of leration, notifying him that he would be a portion of the Mercador claim; Mr. Bldlldo explained in detail to Secretary Taft what had meant. The letter itself was among the papers submitted to Secretary Taft by Mr. Bowen in the presentation of his papers. Mr. Bowen gave his squirt this among other papers in a box in the location, gave after, Mr. Loomis had left, Mr. Bldlldo told Secretary Taft that Mr. Bowen had said, that he wanted his side of the class presented, but that he did not dare to be quenched. Thereupon he had placed a number of papers including this letter in Mr. Bldlldo's hands. This explanation, of the letter as contained in Mr. Loomis's statement, to Secretary Taft, in substance, is as follows: "The Spanish government, sold a corporeo host, to the government of Venezuela for 400,000 bolívar, instead of the cash, it was arranged that the Venezuelan government should turn over 1,000,000 bolívar in bonds at their face value. After reimbursement for the差额 for 400,000 bolívars, the Spanish government was to turn over the Vehicular of the salt bonds, to the Andean minister, to Caracas; the proceeds of which were to be applied to meetings; certain claims against the Venezuelan government. This arrangement was approved by Washington. Among these claims was one, amounting, to about 80,000 bolívar due one Mercador, a promoter and business man, on account of a contract, another 60,000 bolívars on account of the German railroad, and several other minor claims. Mercadorio sought, a loan from A. J. Fauret, who was at that time semi-commonly attached to the "American litigation" Fauret loaned $6,000 of the necessary amount and borrowed it from Mr. Looms; pliedging a portion of the Mercadorio, plain as security, and this was subsequently redeemed by the pale, or a portion of the paid bonds to the banker. Mr. Looms was on a vacancy, and not, in Caracas at the time, which accounts for the writing of the note, to Mr. Russell. He received for his $6,000 just $5,000. Secretary Taft does not believe that if 'Wil be 'necessary to 'take the 'treatment of 'any 'withitness 'beside 'Mr. Russell' now 'in' route to Washington, from Cartagena? Chicago, and Heads, Are Cracked. At Chicago, Tuesday, a crowd of more than 800 persons, armed with clubs and other weapons, surrounded three wagons, owned by a lumber company.

All the Russian battleships have been sunk except the Orel and Nicolai which were captured. Admirals Rojestvensky, Voelkeramsi and Nebogator are prisoners. The official report of the latest details of the great naval battle in the Korean strait, is made in a cablegram received Tuesday night by the Japanese legation in Washington from the foreign offices at Tokyo, conveying Admiral Togo's dispatches up to Tuesday afternoon. The report says that Admiral Rojestvensky and another admiral, and staff officers, were taken prisoners on the sinking of Rojestvensky, night the Khzai Sourzon, Saturday night. The total number of vessels lost by the Russians, according to Admiral Togo, now reaches twenty-two, and he adds that, although the full participants are not yet in, none of the Japanese, ships, was seriously, injured, and loss to the first division of the Japanese fleet was only 400.

Experienti Rosevelt Monday night received by special appointment Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, and as conference followed, for the greatest part of the evening, Mr. Takahira called at the white house shortly after 9 o'clock, and was immediately received. Sirz Moftimeur Durand, the Brittish ambassador, who is just back from London, where he was received by the king, will lunch, with the president Wednesday, when the whole situation will be thoroughly discussed. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, said Monday night that he expected to see the president Before the week is love' and Baron Sternberg, the German ambassador, who was early at the Russian embassy, Monday morning, where he remained for sixm, time' in conference with the ambassador, is constantly in touch with the president. At, the interested embassies and legations during the evening, the opinion was firstly expressed that President Roosevelt would undoubtedly lead the neutral nations in the efforts or bring about peace: in the conference with the Japanese minister, it is thought that the president's first object was to ascertain on what basis Japan can discuss the question of peace. At the Russian embassy Count Cassil said: "Talk of peace: I am mature. If the victory be as unpunctuous as the Japanese would have, the world believe, then, neutral powers, can scarcely wish for Japan to be allowed to remain without a taste of defeat. Much as I should welcome an end of the war for some reasons, my belief is that the effect of Jirofesvensky's defeat will be the immediate prolongation of the war. Russia must fight on, perhaps for years, but until the tables are turned." At the Japanese logout Minister Takahira had earlier in the day expressed his keen satisfaction at the victory of Togo. "I cannor discuss the effects of this battle," he said, "until the final reports are received; until we know Rojestvensty's fate. Ask Russia, not Japan, if the hour of peace has arrived. Our fleet is still pursuing the enemy. It is to Russia, not to Japan that the initiative toward peace is, to be looked for." WAS A BRITISH VESSEL Report that American Ship Was Sunk by Russians Incorrect.

Masonic Notes. A full membership report from each Lodge is urged. One more week from next Tuesday and the Grand Lodge will be in session. For peace and harmony within our rank, we can congratulate ourselves. We sympathise with our sister orders, the Odd-Fellows and the K. of P., for the contention that is among them. Let every Lodge send its representative to the Grand Lodge prepared to settle for THE TRIBUNE. The Grand Secretary will give receipt for same. A number of the Lodges throughout the state are erecting Lodge rooms. This is as it should be. It denotes progressiveness. Every Lodge without a home should do likewise. Masonry appeals only to the better element in each locality. The other element should not be accepted under any circumstances. The greed for numbers should be offset by quality. Each representative is duty bound to be in his seat promptly at 9 o'clock a.m. on June 13. St. John's Day will be observed on June 25. Each Lodge will observe it. The local Lodges will unite in a mammoth excursion to Beaufort, S. C., on Monday June 26. The committee will make it a family excursion. Special attention will be given to the comfort and protection of all who go, especially the ladies and children. The anniversary of Pythagorus Lodge was observed last week by an entertainment. It was largely attended and very enjoyable. Companion Geo. F. Thomas, president of the Past High Priest Council, R. A. M., request all High Priests to meet at Americus at 3:30 o'clock p. m., on June 14, for the purpose of transacting business beneficial to the chapters. Royal Grand Matron, Mrs. Viola E. Hart, of Americus, visited the chapter at Vienna recently, and reports a pleasant meeting with the ladies, and gave a lecture that was well received. Mrs. Hart is working energetically for the chapters. The anniversary sermon of Little Rock lodge was preached May 21, by Rev. C. M. Moon of Cordele. The brethren speak highly of the able Masonic truths given by the reverend. Pythian Pointers. Assurance has been received from various parts of the state, that there is bound to be a change at the Grand Lodge session. Everybody is catching on to the refrain that "Five years is enough for one man." There are too many able men in the order not to rotate. Gen'l Cresswill says that he is not in favor of the Pythian Sanitarium tax. Let every Sir Knight read his report in the last proceedings and his denial will be branded. Boys get on the band wagon and act for the good of Pythianism in Georgia. With a very, very few exceptions, Savannah is for Clark. This sentiment is spreading the state over. It is just as well for the boys to come here and make it unanimous. It would be far the better for Grand Chancellor Creswill to not allow the use of his name for re-election, than for him to be defeated. His friends should advise with him along this line. We need more representatives in the Supreme Lodge therefore don't keep one man more than five years. Meddler has received the following which reflects the sentiment of the entire state: "Dawson, Ga., May 13, 1905 Dear Meddler: I want to thank you for your article in last week's TRIBUNE in reply to Countryman of the Independent. You named the gentleman that signs the Countryman, and exposed ignorance of Pithicism. Keep up the same lick—you are on the right track. Whenever I can serve you let me know." Pythian Facts. We Sir Knights in the "up country" have been reading the articles in THE TREBUNE and other journals touching on the race for Grand Chancellor and we desire to state that your correspondent, "Meddler" is upon the correct line, and is expressing the sentiment of the thinking Sir Knights throughout Georgia. He seems to be arguing from the standpoint of one that has the order in this state at heart rather than the personal interest of some individual, and we wish to say that we are coming to Sayannah in July determined to carry into execution the sentiments he has expressed. We think it is about time for the Pythian brothren of Georgia to lay aside personal ambitions and political intrigues and do those things that reason dictates will be for the advancement of the order in general, and we cannot do this until we refrain from acting upon the impulse of a selfish motive. Now, everybody knows that this state is not represented at the Supreme Lodge in keeping with its numerical and financial strength, and, everybody knows that the reason it is not represented is because of the system that has been in vogue of retaining one man in the Grand Chancellor's position whereby this state with all of its wealth and members is entitled and has at the Supreme Lodge only two representatives; it is because of this sad state of affairs that we have had saddled upon us that inquisitions tax for the purpose of building some unneeded and useless building hundreds of miles from our borders and from which we will never receive one particle of benefit; a thing that the last Grand Lodge unanimously sat down upon and, refused to endorse, but its refusal can not amount to a solitary thing; for the reason that we have not the representation whereby to carry out our desires. Now speaking of this sanitarium movement, we have heard that Sir Creswall will says that he did not and has mayer supported this movement. Now if this be true, how was it that he was on the committee that recommended this sanitarium tax and failed to make a minority report against it? That action of his does not appear to a reasonable man as showing that he was always opposed to that tax. We think it would have been more manly for him to have said that he opposed it after he saw that his state was opposed to the movement. Some of the articles that are going the rounds of the press contains statements that are amusing to the people that are informed on the subject. For instance, an article in the Atlanta Independent over the non de plume "K. of P. Goat" wherein the brother, evidently a supporter of Creswill, makes the assertion that all credit is due Creswill for the present financial strength of the Grand Lodge is not supported by facts. We never could have accumulated the amount of money that we now have, to our credit had it not been 'or the double endowment law, and the records will show that this system was proposed at the Grand Lodge session held in 1898, and the proposer of the same was Sir Charles A. Clark and to him is due the credit and honor. The brother should remember that Creswill simply saw that the law that Clark proposed was executed, and he should also remember that this matter so far as credit should be given, is annalogous to how we give credit for things in other walks of life; when a great battle is fought and won, it is the great general that planned the mode and method of the fight whose strategy and prowess we proclaim; when a beautiful building is erected it is the architect that designed it to whom we give credit for its beauty. Just so much we give Sir Olark credit and praise for suggesting to us the principle of double endowment which has enabled us to raise and maintain funds whereby our insurance department is placed upon a sound basis. And since he has shown such wisdom in this and other instances, it reasons that we will be acting wise in elevating him to the Grand Chancellorship where he will be enabled to do other things that will benefit our grand order. Yours in F. U. & B, a Progress. Facts from Inquisitor. Mr. Editor: The Inquisitor has read with a great degree of interest "Meddler's" castigation of the ubiquitous and sophisticated "Countryman;" he has pondered deeply over the exceedingly deplorable state of affairs in Georgia's Pythian circles and in racking his brain for the causes has found them to be peanut politics and lust for office and more especially, emolument. It is not for me to ascribe selfishness to the acts or utterances of any man, but if a man's acts and utterances prove him selfish, then it is no aspersion to call attention to it. And along this line of reasoning we can prove the latter proposition by making these unequivocal statements: 1 Ben Russell's job is absolutely lost to him unless Creswill is re-elected. Hence his eruptions in Atlanta's mendacious astonisher. 2 Dr. Butler, not satisfied with his present position of both honor and emolument as G. M. R., wants the additional honor of Supreme Representative. Hence an increase in the Atlanta Post Office receipts—by reason of his numerous printed but typewritten letters over the state, and incidentally another demonstration of the "Atlanta spirit" which literally interpreted means "You lose, I win," "I win you lose." 3 Ben Davis, attacks upon Collector Rucker, which, by the way, honor Rucker—have but paved the way for the people to become accustomed to his perennial exudations of demagogery and sapient egotism—not to mention bending "** * * * the hinges of the knee. That thrift might follow fawning." Members of the Grand Lodge know too well the text, the tenor and the motives that prompt him to yell "It's politics" and "I'm with you" when he inveigles against good men in order to excite the sympathies of the rural brethren. Poor Ben! He has not yet learned the truth of what Lincoln said about fooling all the people... 4 Creswill feels his position and its importance too keenly to indulge in a political scramble for office—what dignity (1) but he inspires his general factatum and good man Friday to do the Good Samaritan act and on the side boost him for re-election. In other words he is a Robinson Crusoe a la K. of P., and Friday is our hyperbolic brother from Southwest, Georgia. But really it is fortunate that the question of the deputies has been brought into the argument. The deputies-bless'-em are a heterogeneous lot—some good, some worse, some "wusser." One, we know, is so enthusiastic that he enrolls ex-convicts, ex-jailbirds, crap-shooters and so on, ad infinitum, in Lodges established by him and when taken to task about it, remarks that he will accept any body so long as he gets the dollars. And this man was appointed by Cress will to pay a political debt. We intend to have more to say in a later article about men and things in Georgia's Pythian circles, but concluding this one we desire to disclaim any intentional personality and to refer to the proposition above. If a man's acts and utterances prove him selfish then it is no aspersion to call attention to it—and aspersion is personality. Facts is funny things. Inquisitor. P. S.-Lest we forget we want it distinctly understood that for everything said we are willing to give names where we have not given them, including our own, and submit proofs as well, whenever the brethren want a show down. Barkis is always willin. The Doctor Will Heed. One of the most popular members of the Grand Lodge is Dr. H. R. Butler of Atlanta. He is at present the Grand Medical Register of the state. He has held this position several years and has proven faithful and efficient. All of the boys like him and would re-elect him to this position if he wants it or just give him any position that he desires. While these admirers of the doctor would do anything possible for him, they would not like for him to follow in the footsteps of the Grand Chancellor who declared that he would not, aspire this year for re-election. It is also understood from the declaration of the doctor that he would not be a candidate this year, and his admirers want him to keep faith with this declaration and not allow his name to be used in this direction, by so doing he would not only cause his many friends to stick closer to him. but add many more who would admire him because he kept faith with his declaration, and he will always be looked up to as he is now, as a safe leader. While it is not believed that the Grand Lodge could select a more efficient Medical Register, yet a principle is involved and it is not necessary to say another word to the doctor concerning that point. He is too conscientious to allow misguided ones to force him, against his word. St. James Dots. The Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society of St. James A. A. M.

SCOTT BROS. 462 WEST BROAD STREET IN A CANNIBAL COUNTRY 0 NE of the wildest and most savage regions yet left among the cannibal countries of the Pacific, says Everybody's Magazine, is the great island-continent of New Guinea; yet even there among the most brutal and warlike of the natives are to be found the workers of the American Bible Society, fearlessly carrying on their work. How great are the perils they meet and the courage with which they meet them can be gathered from the notebook of an explorer: For three days after the hideous fate that had befallen my companions up the Fly Ryer, I made my way alone through the dense jungle, carefully avoiding all beaten tracks, in the direction of Port Moresby, where safety awaited me. On the morning of the fourth day the forest suddenly opened before me, and I perceived to my terror that I had stumbled upon a Papan village. Close together stood some hundred conical, grass-roofed huts, held high off the ground by sleder bamboo piles, which gave them for all the world the aspect of houses perched on stilts. In the centre of the village was one hut, larger than the rest, whose pointed thatch rose into the air like a steeple—evidently the home of a chief. On the side of the clearing remote from me I noticed the watchmen's lookout, small thatched shelters, sluck like nests among the upper branches of trees. I had clearly lost my way, and struck a populated district. Convinced from recent experiences that all the natives were unfriendly, I gazed with horror on the householders lazily sunning themselves on the high platforms of their huts. A warning from a watchman would be all that was necessary to turn each of them into an active and relentless enemy. I should be seized, tortured, and finally clubbed to death, to figure later as the chief piece at a feast of victory. 'And then before my despairing eyes a miracle happened. The door of the large hunt opened and a white man emerged, followed by a troop of more or less clothed savages bearing businesslike bundles on their heads. Who these men were, what was their business I did not stop to think. One of them was white; the others were evidently under his control. I cleared the ground between us, and casting myself before him, demanded protection. Later, fed, bathed and rested, I asked my rescuer who and what he was, what had brought him to the interior of New Guinea, and how he had been able to establish friendly relations with the villagers. "I am the principal Bible colporteur of the American Society on this island," he replied, "and the chief of this village is as much a supporter and well-wisher of ours as any Papuan can be." "But surely," said I, "all missionary work here was given over since the Rev. Mr. Chalmers and his companions were clubbed to death by the cannibals? "Episodes like that never stop us," he replied, calmly. "It was the same thing in China during the Boxer massacres, and in a dozen remote regions where the blood of martyrs has been sown." And then, sitting there in the chief's hut, which was decorated with strings of human skulls, with fetish and devil huts on each side of us and the great jungle-all about, I learned more of the romance of sowing the Bible in foreign lands than I had ever dreamed of. A BARROOM SERMON. Twenty years ago Los Corrillos, New Mexico, was a place of perhaps five hundred inhabitants, most of whom were ignorant of even the most fundamental laws of religion and the civilization of the far East. Thither to his first charge went a young minister—young, but big and brawny, says the Kansas City Times. He proved to be the right sort of man to win the confidence and respect of the rough community, and his church prospered. A year later he was removed to Watrous, one hundred miles away, and visited Los Cerrillos only once a month to preach. One rough night, when a melting snow was coming down in heavy masses, he waited at the station for a train to Watrous. The train was very late. There was no operator at the station, and no place to go for warmth but the saloons. Only the wind and the shelterless coyotes knew where the train was. The minister walked up and down the street, shivering. Once as he passed a saloon the proprietor—"Bill"—saw him. "Come in and get warm, parson!" he called. "I can't, Bill; you know why," replied the minister. "Yes, I know; but they shan't bother you. You come right in and I'll fix them." He grasped the minister by the arm and led him into a big room, where thirty or forty cowboys and miners were drinking. Blll rapped loudly on the bar. "Fellers," he said, "the parson's laid out by his train what ain't came, an' he's no place to go but this here gin palace au' poker parlor. He'll sit with us and swap yarns—the right sort, you understand—but that'll be no drinks sold over this bar and no cards played till his train comes along. He's our guest. The parson, gentlemen." There was not a protest from a man. The young minister was acquainted with most of them, and soon made friends with the others. They talked of lodes, pay-dirt, methods of drilling, best ways to break broncós, liniments for healing gunshot wounds, the qualities of various makes of firearms, the comparative veracity of the Mexican and the Indian. Finally one of the "cow-punchers" asked the guest "to make a little talk on the subject of his profession." Gladly he mounted one of the card-tables, and in their own picturesque language, as he had learned it from them, told them of the Martyr of Calvary and the compassionate Father. As he spoke they threw away their cigars and removed their hats. Not a sound escaped them. They were on their honor, and would have handled roughly any man who showed the parson a discountry. The minister afterward confessed that he never spent a more profitable hour himself, or a more enjoyable one, or one in which profit and enjoyment seemed to be more completely mutual. When the whistle of his train was heard the congregation was lustily singing a hymn. RUSSIA'S SECRET PRESS. Leo Tikhomroff has drawn a vivid picture of the hidden life of one of these strange undergrounds. It is the office of the paper with which Stepnik himself was associated, Narodnala Volia—Land and Liberty. In five rooms, including a little kitchen, four conspirators were installed—two men and two women. Maria Krilloff, who passed as mistress of the house, a woman of about forty-five, had devoted her life to the "Cause;" she had been transported to Siberia and had escaped. The other woman was under twenty, fair and delicate; name unknown. Of the two men, one was Basil Budch or Boukh, "the son of a General and the nephew of a Senator." The second was known only as "Pitza," "The Bird,"—a nickname which he owed to his voice. The men were entered as Mppe, Kriloff's lodgers, the girl was the nominal mald of the household. These four brought out the Narodnala Volla. The plant consisted principally of a few cases of type, a small and a large cylinder, a jar, or two of printer's ink, and a few brushes and sponges. The dvornik—call him the concierge—had to be hoodwinked from day to day. Maria Kriloff went upon the bold plan of sending for him at any and every hour, and conducting him through all the five rooms, under the pretense of hunting for a troublesome rat. They learned in this way how, to dispose of the plant at from five to ten minutes' notice. At night, behind a double curtain of canvas sealed across the window, the type was set. The expected happened at last at the office of the Narodnaja Volina. One night the police came down on it. What they had reckoned on as an easy seizure transformed itself into a four hours' siege and battle. Maria Krilloff drew on the gendarms with her revolver. The office was riddled with bullets, but for four hours the conspirators kept their stand. The survivor was "The Bird," who blew his brains out when the game was up. He has transmitted no name to posterity; he is among the Russian terrorists who have elected to be nothing but a memory.—From T. P.'s Weekly. A BRAVE QUAKER LAD. When the question of courage is once settled, it hardly makes a difference what kind it is, whether it is on the battlefield or in the tent. In 1861, says Lippincott's Magazine, the great-grandson of a Quaker who had settled on an island in Lake Champlain was drafted. "It will be no use," said the young man. "I shall never fight. My mother taught me it is a sin. It is her religion and my father's, and their fathers!" "I shall never raise my hand to kill any one." The recruiting officer took no notice. "We'll see about that later," said he. The regiment went to Washington, and the Quaker boy drilled placidly and shot straight. Word wert out that there was a traitor in the ranks. The lieutenant conferred with the captain, and all the forms of punishment devised for refractory soldiers were visited on this lad. He went through them without flinching, and then he was taken before the colonel. "What does this mean?" demanded the officer. "Don't you know you will be shot?" The Quaker smiled a little. He had steady eyes and a square chin: "That is nothing," he said. "Thee didn't think I was afraid, did they?" The prisoner went back to the guardhouse, and the colonel sought out President Lincoln. "Why, that's plain enough," said the President. "There's only one thing to do. Trump up some excuse and send him home. You can't kill a boy like that, you know. The country needs all her brave men, wherever they are. Send him home." So the Quaker went back to the island, to life and duty as he saw them, and his children tell the story. Couldn't Tell a Lie. Hearing a noise in the pantry, Mrs. Jerrums opened the door softly and went in. Her youngest son was standing on a chair with his back to her, helping himself to the contents of a glass jar. "What are you doing, Clifford?" she asked. Clifford turned around. His face was smeared from chin to cheekbone with something deeply and darkly red, but the light of truth shone in his blue eyes. "I cannot tell a lie, mamma," he said, "I'm eatin' raspberry jam." OUR GIRLS AND BOYS BILL'S IDEA. If I could make the world, I would Not make a salty sea.

A tent can be made by children very easily, and quickly without outside help. Get three old sheets or shawls, a rope and some safety pins and follow this picture and description: Tie the rope between two trees, so that you may walk under it without touching your head. Throw a sheet or shawl over it. Tie four strings as long as yourself to each corner of the sheet (one on each corner). On the THE TENT IN POSITION. other end of each string tie a pointed stick. Drive these sticks into the ground as far from the rope as you can. The sheet will now make a good roof. Two more sheets are now used for the sides of the tent. Each sheet makes an end and one side. Use safety pins to pin up these sides. The hole at each end of the tent under the roof is necessary to keep it cool and comfortable. Most tents are very stuffy and hot, but this tent is as satisfactory an arrangement as can be made—New York Evening Mail. BUNNY'S VICTORY Mr. Brown is the owner of a high-grade hunting dog, whose kennel, furnished with various bits of carpet to make a warm bed, is in the back yard. One night not long ago Mr. Brown heard the dog yelping, but paid little attention to the matter. Next morning the dog was foun asleep on the plaza door mat. He couldn't be induced to go near the kennel. Mr. Brown investigated. He found in the kennel a plump mamma rabbit and two of the cutest little baby rabbits in the world. Mrs. Cottontail had chased Bruno out and appropriated his house.-Savannah News. A TRUE, INCIDENT. A French family has recently had its fortunes restored in a way to suggest story telling. The family was wretchedly poor, selling one possession after another in order to meet the demands of the butcher and grocer. One day the mother in moving an old desk of her great-grandfather, came upon an old book, between the pages of which was a stamp of the Island of Maurice of 1847. A traveler stopping to rest in the cottage one day saw the stairway, which a boy was sticking to a home-made envelope, playing "postoffice" with a little friend. This traveler (a man of wealth and collector of curios) saw that it was very rare. In truth there were but two others in existence, one belonging to the King of England and one to the Czar of Russia. He told the family of their treasure, and it was through his interest and exertions that the stamp was subsequently sold for $7500—Indianapolis News. PHOTOGRAPHING AN OWL The Great Horned Owl may be fascinated by a dog. And the photographing of the Great) Horned Owl under these conditions is not difficult; wait until the owl seizes the fowl and stops to rest on the return to the woods; then let a dog be led to within twenty or thirty feet of the owl, and the bird will be all attention for the dog and take no apparent notice of the person leading it. The behavior of the owl at such times is very amusing. It stands motionless, gazing intently at the dog; but after a few minutes, if the dog remains quiet, the bird seems to become nervous, and steps first to one side and then to the other, hissing, snapping its beak, and ruffling its feathers. After this the owl will usually try to make off with its prey; but if another hait is made, the bird's actions show even more nervousness. While the owl's attention is thus attracted is the time to approach within "photo-distance" to gnt the "snap-shots."—St. Nicholas. HOW TO GROW ROSE BUSHES. There is money in growing rose bushes, and it is a pleasant occupation in which any boy, or girl who has the use of a bit of land can engage. Roses may be planed either in the fall or spring, and the beds should be protected from the northwest wind and have a southern or eastern slope if possible. It is a good plan to have the hybrid roses on the east side of a fence, and the hardier and freegrowing climbers to cover the fence itself. Roses that are to be grown for the perfection of their blooms should never be in close proximity to a building or trees. Propagation—wherein lies the profit for young horticulturalists—is, accomplished by seeds, cuttings, layers, sports, division, budding or grafting, the last two methods being extensively used by nurserymen and florists. But for our purposes cuttings are best. They may be rooted at any time of the year, but for hardy roses I have found the old-fashioned method of inserting dormant shoots in the fall the most satisfactory. Cuttings should be made from the wood of the current year, which should be of medium strength and well ripened. They may be cut from eight to ten inches in length and placed five or six inches deep in the ground. Care should be taken to tread round them thoroughly in order that the frost may not lift them out. The next spring, after they are well rooted, they can be set farther apart; and by the second spring they will be large enough to sell and will readily bring twenty-five cents each. I know boys who have paid all their own expenses from the time they were twelve years old just by propagating roses and other plants.—New York Evening Mail. ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE. I have always thought that wild geese were the most interesting of fowl. They have an intelligence and a system of their own. They mate and marry, I used to think, just as people do, and every gander is faithful to his goose. Once when the wild geese were flying overhead in the spring, one of our neighbors got out with his gun and shot into the flock flying overhead. He wounded a goose in the wing and it futtered to the earth. Our neighbor captured it, and told his children that they might keep it and make a pet of it. By caring for it tenderly and feeding it often this goose became quite tame, and stayed all the year with the tame geese. Next spring the wild geese were flying over again and the goose that had been shot and tamed heard them honking in the skies as they went over. She seemed to recognize a familiar voice, and, showing great excitement, gave a loud call. This was heard by one of the geese in the sky, evidently her mate of former years, and he, after circling around for a time, finally came to the earth, found his long-lost goose and remained with her. He was wild for a time, and would fly whenever a person would come near, but finally he became domesticated, and the two raised a brood of goslings and lived happy ever afterward with the tame geese.-Indianapolis News. GAME OF ORGAN BUILDER This is a really interesting game much played by German children. First, the players choose one of their number to be the Organ Builder. He goes around among the rest and places them in a straight row. Each player must hold out both his or her hands folded in front of him, and the Organ Builder goes along the way, saying "These are good organ pipes." Then he taps each player's hands lightly with a thin stick, and the player whom he touches must give forth a long, sustained sound to represent a tone of the pipe. If the tone does not suit the Organ Builder, he may demand an improvement, but only once, and the players must obey. After he has heard a sound from each "organ pipe," he retires long enough to be blindfolded. While he is away all the "organ pipes" change places. When he returns, the Organ Builder says: "Alas, how will my organ be, now I am blind and cannot see?" He reaches out with his stick and taps the outstretched hands of one of the players. The one who is struck must immediately utter the same sound as he or she did the first time, and the Organ Builder may demand that it be repeated three times. Then he must say: "Ah, this pipe is——" naming the player who he thinks it is. If he has not guessed correctly, all the players dance around him and sing: "What a builder have we here? What a wretched, wretched ear, Though the pipes sound out so clear!" Though the pipe Then they all change places again, and the Organ Builder must try the next "pipe." If, however, he guesses correctly, the players sing: "Though the master have no sight, He can tell his pipes aright! See your organ with delight!" And they pull the bandage from his eyes. The "pipe" whose name has been guessed must take his place. New York, News, OF INTEREST TO WOMEN SOILED GLOVES. If gloves are badly soiled, it is best to send them to a professional scouter, if they are worth it; it but slightly soiled, rubbing in dry corn meal will clean them. Washing in gasoline is recommended, but this is apt to take the finish or dressing off, and the gloves soll much quicker afterwards. When black kid gloves become rusty about the fingers, they may be partially restored by adding a few drops of black ink to a teaspoonful of olive oil and applying with a feather or camel's hair brush. Or good liquid blacking may be tried. For mending kid gloves, gum tissue is good; apply a piece of the tissue to the inside of the glove where a strain is apparent, and it will strengthen the skin and prevent an actual break. ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. Fashion is responsible for many inventions. This is the case with the manufacture of artificial flowers, for their demand was due to a caprice of fashion. In Italy during festival time it was decreed that flowers should be worn in and out of season, and that their color should be retained. Many plans for solving the problem were brought forward, and at last one hit upon the idea of making them of various materials which would resemble the real flowers. Later, in the Middle Ages, the artificial so far superceded the natural that both men and women decked their heads with imitation flowers of camphre, glass, paper, wax and metal. The most beautiful artificial blossoms are made in Paris, and their making is one of the chief industries of that city.-Washington Times. THEORY AND PRACTICE "There is a woman of my acquaintance," says a physician, "who has more ideas with respect to scientific hygiene than has a whole colony of physicians. This worthy lady can discourse most fluently, either with professional or with layman, concerning the risks that we humans daily take with utensils that have not been properly sterilized. She is unmistakably 'up' on microbes and bacteria. "A friend was one day engaged in conversation with this lady, which incidentally touched upon her hobby, when the little girl of the household appeared. "Mamma," said she, "I would like to go over to Katharine's for a minute." "And why? asked the mother. "Oh,' explained the scientifically reared youngster to the utter horror of her careful mother, 'I leat her my gum yesterday, and now I want it myself.'" The decolletage of the evening gown offers unlimited possibilities for ribbon decorations. One garniture which extended around the decolletage and well down the front was fashioned from three shades of pink satin ribbon. Small looped flowers were first mounted upon strappings of featherbone, at irregular intervals, and into the spaces were added large flowers with ragged ends of broad ribbon. A cluster of the smaller blossoms hung down gracefully over the shoulders. This same garniture is seen on an evening gown of pale pink net, in which a scintillating pattern of shimmering gold appears. The garniture in that instance was made from gauze ribbon spangled with sequins and mock gems. Ribbon offers many possibilities for trimming purposes, and a simple gown may be greatly enhanced by the application of ribbon garniture in many forms. The sash is one, and this brings becoming fashions for many years. Handsome ribbon tied in a great bow at the back of the waist is indeed a charming vogue, and is especially adapted to the slender girl. Govdoir CHAT: When a certain Atchison woman has not got her "figure" on, she uses it for a pin cushion—Atchison Globe. An Emporia woman gave an elaborate party and then went to the Gazette and asked to have the item suppressed "because it was Lent."—Emporia (Kan.) Gazette. No one has yet said anything about the Osterization of women. They need not; women Ozlerize themselves. When a woman is forty years old she gives up home and children and joins a club. Can women be expected to have a liking for domestic service when the "mess" men in the navy are deserting in large numbers, and that with the certainty of a heavy penalty to pay if they are caught? Higher education for women can have no more opponents. The strongest advocate for home life should be converted by the fact that the Wellesley College girls successfully taught a fire with woman's long-time friend, the broom. Suspender straps are to be worm. They soften the effect of white waist and separate skirt. In one pretty walking suit the skirt is blue and the white blouse is crossed by straps of the blue, which cross both back and front, giving an air of continuality which the separate waist costume rarely achieves.—Washington Times. Signora Eleonora Duse, who is now fulfilling an engagement in Paris, has adopted a striking expedient for stimulating the dramatic talent of her commen-tment. She has offered a prize of £200 for the best new play submitted to her by an Italian author, Signora Chiarella, a friend of Signora Duse adds another £200. The public, however, is to be the judge. Competition must send in their work by January 1 next, after which a jury will select a certain number of the plays for production by Signora Duse herself during the year. The author of the play that pleases the public best will receive the prize—London Globe. Pretty Things to Wear. Ostrich plumes are seen on many hats. Mimosa lace is among those in most vogue. Frock coat suits are seen in mannish mixtures. Coat suits of rough rejah silk are very smart. Checked mohair, in weave or colors, is effective. A number of the very small turbans are being worn. Many dainty white wash gowns are being exhibited. A valuable florer for the bluet hat is the ageratum. A flat, mannish boa has four serpentine streamers. One gray taffeta redingote suit is a mass of pleating and shirring. A green mohair traveling coat is made in a roomy redingote style. Chiffon broadcloth is lovely for fine dresses, having very little weight. Black velvet collar and cuff facings finish a smart coat sult in ivory mohair. Lace coats in ivory and champagne color are among the lovely evening wraps. The fashionable shirtwaist is made of linen preferably; after that madras, dimity and lawn. One of the loveliest afternoon dresses is of collienne in a shade between reseda and apple green. The sleeves of the tallored shirtwaist are plain leg-of-mutton or bishop, with narrow starched cuffbands. There is a new broderie Anglaise all-over lace which repeats the familiar eyelets, sprigs and wheels in a filmy mesh. The shirtwalst which shows the lines of the figure too sharply is not recommended, and yet the fit is not as loos as of old. Antwerp oak is the newest wood for mission furniture. The oak is cut to bring out the curl of the grain and is somewhat lighter in color than Flemish oak. Country Editor's Troubles. William L. Alden enjoys telling stories of the troublous experience of a friend who, was running a weekly, paper in the West. One day there entered the office of Mr. Alden's friend a man of the type common to every town—the individual who has suggestions to offer to the end that the periodical may be made a success. This man had failed to print certain articles he had submitted to him. "What have you done with them?" he inquired, querulously. "My friend," replied the editor, "I must thank you for those bits; they have served to good purpose. The fact is, I am holding them. Now and then I get to thinking I am not providing the public with as good a paper as I ought to. At such times I took up your articles, which enable me to perceive how much worse the sheet might be. Then I become real cheerful, again. Please don't take them from me," he added, appealingly. One Trouble With the Sysgim. "I thought you had taken lessons in the art of jiu-jitsu." "I have. I'm an expert at it." "How does it happen, then, that you're all battered up like this? You look as if you'd been in a railroad wreck. They say that a fellow knocked you down and walloped you as if you'd been a nine-year-old boy. Where did your jiu-jitsu come in?" "It would have been all right, and I could have given him a punch that would have made him as helpless as a child, but, confound the luck, he wouldn't stand still till I could pleck out the right spot."—Chicago - Record-Herald. Soldiers' Pay. Thirteen dollars a month seems small pay for a soldier, but a writer in Harper's Weekly states that the pay of the other nations is as follows: Austrian-Hungary, seventy-three cents a month; France, $1.74-Germany, $2.50; Great Britain, $7.14; Japan, sixty cents; Russia, twelve cents. REST A LITTLE, PLA2 A LITTLE. BY A MINUTE! "I see!" Ezra sprang from his chair, a light flashing all over his face. Squire Winslow still held his watch in his hand and his mouth open when, three steps at a time, the young man was fleeing down the stairs. "Bless me!" muttered the lawyer, and his own hand trembled with excitement as he reached for his hat and followed after, as swiftly as his older limbs would carry him. Ezra reached home in an incredibly short period. Mrs. Burchard saw him coming, and was startled by his look. She had a kindness for her daughter's lover, but did not dare to side with him. "Where's the key to Mr. Burchard's "Where's the key to Mr. Burchard's desk?" he cried. "In its place," she answered, apprehensively. "So it is," he gasped with relief, feeling behind the secretary and producing it. "I saw Helen out by the barn. Tell her to saddle Mark! Quickly, please." "Has Mr. Burchard—" she began. "Quick!" implored Ezra, rummaging among the papers with desperate eagerness. She obeyed and returned. "Where are you going, Ezra Fairfax?" "To Lowell." "Qn Mark? What will Mr. Burchard say? You know how Mr. Burchard feels about that colt." "Here it is!" exclaimed Ezra joyously. "The deed to Forest Farm. There's a purchaser—" The young man dashed out of the house, leaving the desk in confusion, and ran to the barn. Helen was tightening the saddle girdths. "What is this for?" she asked, catching the excitement in his face. "It's the only chance! I can't talk!" he exclaimed. He kissed her, sprang on the colt's back, and galloped off. "Helen, that boy is crazy!" cried Mrs. Burchard, in distress, running out to meet her daughter. "You don't suppose he would dare to try and sell Forest Farm! He has carried the deed off." "Trust Ezra," said Helen stoutly. "I do." But her heart thumped, and she, too, felt more troubled than ever before in her life. Might Ezra really have brooded over his troubles until his mind had become unhunged? Meanwhile the swift colt had met the Squire on the road, and the rider had reined up. Silently he handed down the deed, which the old man examined eagerly. "Just as I thought," he said curly; "not recorded. Have you money? Not enough, perhaps, for everything. Here, take this." Ezra accepted the bill, and the brief instructions which the lawyer went on to give him. "Better tell the Burchards, I guess. They'll worry either way. Thank you, Squire Winslow." Fairfax swiftly bent and wrung his old friend's hand. "God bless you!" returned the old lawyer, unsteadily. It would take too long to describe the details of that ride. The road was a "short cut" compared to the roundabout way by rail from Edgconib to Lowell. The brave colt did his best, rolling an eye around occasionally as if to ask Rest a little, play a little, Every passing day! Don't be fool enough to think Of working life away! Rest will fit for better work, And, play will bring good cheer; These things count for much, I tell you, In the sojourn here. Rest a little, play a little, Sighs and tears will come; Store up all you're able Of the sunshine, while there's some. Check the flowers along the way, Reve evening comes so soon, Then you'll want the memories Of happy-hearted noon! Mitchell Had OR, sir, my daughter Helen's a match for any man," said Farmer Burchard, his hard face harder as he spoke. "She won't go to her husband empty-handed either. I calculate to give Helen Forest Farm if she marries to suit me and Forest Farm, Ezra Fairfax, is the prettiest property in Middlesex County." The farmer and his hired man were driving along the road to the station, for Mr. Burchard was going off on a week's trip to buy some cattle. Ezra made no reply to this boast. He had heard it a number of times, and as he loved Helen with his whole heart it was not a pleasure to listen to, especially as he understood at this time it was a warning note intended to prevent any philandering in his employer's absence. "I shall never have Forest Farm if that is the price I have to pay," declared Helen herself a few hours later, looking into her lover's honest eyes. The two had grown up together, the children of neighbors. "I shall marry you or nobody. Ezra. I love father, but his ambitions can't make wrong right. Had he been the one to die instead of your father when we were children I might have been your mother's 'help' to-day." The girl smiled in a way that warmed Ezra's despairing heart. "If there were only something I could do to change matters!" he exclaimed. I hate the name of Forest Farm! I wish Hosea Hinkley, had never sold it. "He wouldn't if he could possibly have done without the money, that is certain," remarked the girl. "What a triumph father felt it to be when he secured it before good Mr. Hosea diled!" "Yes, if that scamp of a brother of his had got hold, of it, I guess Mr. Burcheard might have whistled for korest Farm. Jim Hinkley's the biggest rascal unhung, and he hates your father. He'd have liked to spite him by selling to somebody else. Well," Ezra heaved a mighty sigh," for my part I'd be willing Jim had got it. I ought not to let you cling to the thought of me, Helen; it will spoil your life." The girl gazed at him with frank tenderness. His sturdy form and bronzed face filled all her horizon. "Can you stop thinking of me?" she asked simply. "God knows I can't," he answered, and then he lifted his old hat with a reverent gesture and kissed her. The next day he was plodding along the road to the village filled with the problem that always absorbed him, when a stranger accosted him. He looked up and behold an elderly gentleman with the stamp of city life on his face, clothing and manners. "Young man," the latter began, "can you tell me the whereabouts of a place known as Forest Farm?" "Yes," replied Ezra. "Walk right ahead and turn the first turning to the left, and as soon as you cross the creek you're there." Then, with a bluntness that amused his interlocutor, he continued, "Were you thinking of renting it?" The stranger smiled leniently and tapped his hand with a legal paper he held. "No, I wasn't thinking of renting it," he answered deliberately; "I am thinking of buying it. In fact, I have just bought it. My daughter saw the place and thought she would like it for a summer home, and I have come down to look at it myself. My deed here will assist me in locating boundaries. I'm much obliged to you." The kindly stranger bowed and moved on, leaving Ezra to stare after him, his lips parted, his thoughts in a turmoll. His face redened under its bronze. In some uncomprehended way had his chance come? Might he do for Allen Burchard some service which should win him Helen? He made a swift movement to follow the stranger, as suddenly changed his mind, and charged up the village street at a pace that scattered the children before him like leaves in the wind. Squire Winslow, sitting at the desk in his second-story office, looked startled as the young man burst into his room. "Well! What's the matter, Ezra Fairfax?" exclaimed the old man, pushing his chair back, images of dire catastrophes crowding through his brain. "I don't know," gasped the other, dragging a seat to the desk and falling into it. Then with catches of the breath he told his story. The Squire pushed up his spectacles and listened; frowning. "Certainly, I remember the transfer of Forest Farm," he said. "I drew the deed. You say Mr. Burchard is away. Couldn't he have—" "No, he has only been gone since yesterday, and he told me the day he left he was going to give the place to his daughter. Jim Hinkley's at the bottom of this, somehow or other." Rest a little, play a little, Man was made to toil, But not to crush his spirit out Amid the world's turmoil. Life is givn for something mora and plow and plow. Get that, something quiet life, And brother, get it now! Rest a little, play a little, Every passing day; Don't be fool enough to think Of shadows, Uphill climbing's hard at best; Brighten up the way, With now, my friend, a little rest, And now a little*play, es in Philadelphia North American Squire Winslow found time even amid his problem to admire Ezra's keen, set face. "There is only one thing that could have made it possible for Jim to meddle, and I suppose that is just the thing that has happened," said the Squire, after grasping his stubby chin in deep thought. Ezra squintized him eagerly. "I remember now, Mr. Burchard met Hosea here in this office and paid the money and took the deed. When I offered to mail it to the registry, Mr. Burchard said he wanted to show it to his wife first. He said he had business in Lowell next week and would take the deed to the registry then himself. Now, perhaps, he forgot it; then, knowing Hosea's honesty, put it off from time to time, and it has never been recorded. Jim Hinkley has wanted money pretty bad lately, and they do say Satan takes care of his own. Anyway, he must have put that very idea into Jim's head. Jim probably looked the matter up, found things just as he expected, got a customer for Fergest Farm and sold it." Squire Winslow misunderstood the abstracted thoughtfulness that changed his visitor's face. "I face up, my boy," he said kindly. "Get back the grit I saw in your eyes a minute ago, and perhaps we'll beat Jim yet." He caught his watch from his pocket. "No," he ejaculated, "you can't get the deed and catch the last train to Lowell." "What-what's the idea?" asked Ezra, sitting up, alert again. "Why, the stranger said he'd just bought Forest Farm. It's likely he's taking a look at the property before recording his deed. If he records his first, you're lost the farm; but if you could in any way get yours in—" "What?" why, when so many steep hills had been traveled, he was still urged on; but when, jaded and worn, the two finally reached Lowell, the Registry of Deeds was closed. Ezra's voice was unsteady as he asked concerning the arrival of the last train from Edgcomb. He found that it was in, but it too, had arrived after the registry hours. His chance still remained. He saw to his horse's comfort; but for himself there was no sleep that night. Too much hung in the balance. With the first rays of dawn he was walking about the street, waiting for the appointed hour. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS PASSING OF THE BED. "This day is witnessing the passing of the bed," said a New York manufacturer. "Ground space is getting too valuable in New York to use for an old fashioned bed or to devote solely to sleeping purposes. We have the He turned his steps toward the best hotel in the place, and lounged near at breakfast time, but did not see the face he sought ambing the guests. Suppose the stranger's deed and already been recorded before that experimental visit to Edgcomb! Ezra set his teeth. But 9 'clock drew on. He dared linger no longer near the hotel, and moved away toward the Court House. The hour sounded from the steeple. The bell electrified him and he hurried on; but suddenly a sight more moving still caught his view. A well-dressed man, whom Fairfax recognized only too certainly, had just ascended the steps and was entering the registry office. For an instant things turned black before the tired man; then he nerved himself, slouched his hat over his eyes, sprang up the steps after the gentleman, shouldered him aside, and edging through the room ahead of him, renched the desk first and offered his shaking paper. "Where are your manners, young fellow?" asked the Registrar, glancing back at the somewhat annoyed and surprised look on the other man's face. Extra's cold lips stammered something about hurrying. "There's time enough in this world for folks to be civil. You've got the day before you, haven't you?" said the clerk, looking, to Fairfax's acute apprehension, as if he might be going to order him aside in favor of the personage he had just jostled. The young man's excitement leaped from his eyes, but his slouched hat hid them. It was none of the Registrar's business if the clumsy fellow's lips were ashy. He still grumbled as he reached for his rubber stump. The dull thud with which it struck the paper sounded above the ringing in Ezra's ears. Then the clerk glanced at the clock and proceeded to write in its place, in legal form, the moment of registration. "Nine hours and two minutes." The words were written. He staggered as he moved aside to let the portly gentleman take his turn. The Registrar, with a casual remark, pulled the second deed toward him, stamped it, and then took up the pen and wrote: "Nine hours and three minutes." Ezra held on by a corner of the desk, for the clock, prints and maps on the walls were chasing each other madly around the room. Forest Farm was saved! And Helen? Mr. Burchard returned home to find his strong, quiet "hired" man the hero of the village. Squire Winslow, delighted not a little with his own presence of mind in the affair, had exploited Ezra's history far and wide. "You know you always said, father, that Forest Farm was to go with me," remarked Helen, demurely, "so, logically, I go with the farm—and the farm is Ezra's." She opened her eyes at her parent innocently and slipped her hand into her lover's, which was close by. Mr. Burchard, still confounded by the risk his own carelessness had entailed, stared at them helplessly and yielded to the inevitable. "Queer doings," he said to himself, and blinked his eyes. "Queer doings."—The American Queen. The Petrified Man. Do you remember the "petrified man," supposed to be 800 years old, discovered in a gravel bed near Leavenworth a few years ago, and which had the scientists of the whole country guessing? This wonderful specimen was made from a plaster of paris cast by Charles Farmer, an eccentric old gentleman who lives on a farm adjoining that of John Cory near Lowemont. The cast was taken from a human being. Parmer had arranged with another man to help him out in his scheme to make some money. Accordingly the specimen was hidden in a ravine near Mloecon, three miles northwest of Leavenworth, and was found per the arrangements. It was taken to Leavenworth and placed on exhibition as a genuine petrified man. Great interest was manifested in it and the owners realized a neat suit by charging an admission fee to it. Scientists examined it and were puzzled. Finally Parmer traded the curiosity for 160 acres of land in South Dakota, and the new owner went on a tour of the East, attracting attention everywhere. Parmer divulged the secret to Dr. Redmond, Sheriff Stance Myers and the editor of the Kansan on the train between Lowemont and Potter, Tuesday. He made this specimen seven years ago. A few years before that he "made" a woman in California. This became famous throughout the West as the "San Joaquin Woman." Parmer made these images out of a substance of his own manufacture, which when it "sets," is as hard as rock—Potter (Kan) Kansan. American Money in Colombia. American money is now the basis for nearly all transactions' in this part of Colombia, reports Consul Orr, from Barranquilla. All invoices certified at this consulate are now made out in American money, and it is not at all likely that the Colombian paper currency will ever again be used in invoices HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS PASSING OF THE BED. "This day is witnessing the passing of the bed," said a New York manufacturer. "Ground space is getting too valuable in New York to use for an old fashioned bed or to devote solely to sleeping purposes. We have the most curious calls for beds made to order. Some people have new beds made to order every time they move, so as to utilize every inch of space," says the New York Tribune. HOUSECLEANING HINTS. If the kitchen floor is painted or covered with oilcloth, it will save much cleaning. Oilcloth and linolem should be washed in the ordinary way with warm water and soap, then wiped over again with clean, warm water and dried with a soft cloth. If water is left on oilcloth, it is inclined to rot it, therefore it is important that it should be dried thoroughly. Turpentine and linseed oil mixed form a good preparation for restoring the brightness to oilcloth which has become dull. TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS. A florist gives these directions for preserving cut flowers. When they can be picked free from a garden it is comparatively easy to preserve them, but when they must be purchased at the florist's they have lived half their lives already and need tender care. Cut the stems in a long, slanting cut and place in fresh water, taking care that the stems do not quite touch the bottom of the case. Some flowers, mignonette, for example, are extremely liable to droop when brought from the florist's to a warm living-room. Lay the flowers for a short time in the icebox to freshen before placing in water. Every morning as long as the flowers last cut the stems, and place in fresh water. MISTRESS AND MAID. Many mistresses and maids fall to grasp the fact that the engagement between them is in the nature of a legal contract. Mistress- and maid are equals in the eyes of the law, and an agreement is as binding upon one as upon the other. It should be perfectly understood at the beginning for what term the maid is engaged, and at what rates. In some places it is the custom to pay by the week, and the servant is then engaged-by that term. In other localities she is engaged and paid by the month, although she is frequently taken at first on a week's trial, with the understanding that if she gives satisfaction and is suited with the place, she is to continue her services by the month. When the latter period is the term of engagement, it is understood that the employer is expected to give not less than a week's notice of discharge to a maid, and that the latter should announce a week before her month is up her intention of leaving. Should the mistress prefer, she can give a week's wages in lieu of a week's notice, but the former method is in more general use.-Harper's Bazar.

The old Fell House, at Wilkesbarre, Pa., where anthracite coal was first burned in a grate, and where its progress as a marketable commodity began, is to be destroyed and remodeled until all outward 'semblance to the famous tavern has disappeared. In the heart of the big, new building, which is to take its place, there will be preserved the old-fashioned low-celling, heavy raftered room where Old Fell House. the experiment took place, and the identical grate and fireplace where anthracite coal first burned. The experiment in the old grate specially built for the purpose by Judge Jesse Fell, then one of the leading men in the community, took place on Feb. 11, 1808, almost 100 years ago. He had written in letters to relative describing the achievements, and for some time had contended that if properly ignited the "stone coal," as it was then called, would burn, but his friends laughed at him. Nevertheless he studied the problem until he decided that it was necessary to have a draught to make it keep going. He then had the grate built of ten-inch bars, forming the front and bottom of a box that he set in brick, and in this he placed the stone coal, lighting it from below by means of splinters of wood and keeping up such a draught with a bellows that the coal soon glowed red hot. He found, too, that when red hot it quickly ignited other coal placed upon it, and, proud of his success, he told his neighbors. They would not believe him until they had, as he wrote, "ocular demonstration of the fact." Day after day the old room in the tavern was crowded with the people of the little village and the travelers who passed through and soon to all parts of the region where outcroppings of coal had been discovered the news was borne. The Japanese Imperial Educational R-script says: "Advance learning and regulate your pursuits, developing the intellectual faculties and perfecting the virtues and useful elements. In any emergency, exert yourself in the public service, and exhibit voluntarily your bravery." This exhortation hangs on the walls of every Japanese schoolhouse and is read in unison aloud daily. *57 | *57 | Villa-Montgomery. | *58 | *22 3 15c | 6 45p | Lv. Savannah, Ar. | 9 45a | 9 35p Ar.

Changes Made That Will Interest Devotees of the Game. The latest English golfing invention relates to golf clubs, particularly to those of the "putter" type, and has for its object increasing of the accuracy of the blow, says Golf Illustrated. The face or striking surface of the club as heretofore constructed has been made flat, but according to this invention the club face is concavely curved so that preferably the face becomes part of a sphere. The radius of the curve may vary in accordance with require- FIG 1 A A² B FIG 2 A A² ments, and it may be convenient to employ more than one putter having curves suitable for use with different shots. The head of the club may be formed of metal or wood and curved throughout, being the same or approximately the same thickness at any point or the thickness may vary according as it may be found desirable to distribute the weight and to get the required balance. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the wooden putter and figure 2 is a plan of the same club head. The head A is provided with the usual horn plate B and striking face A1 formed with a concave curve of horizontal radius. The curve may be circular or of other geometrical form. Bulletin 32 of the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Agriculture devotes a page to an exhibit of our exports of farm products to the various countries of the world in 1901. What countries are our best customers is clearly shown, states the Baltimore Sun. Confining our attention to countries that buy $10,000,000 worth from us, we see that Cuba takes $12,623,000; Denmark, $13,172,000; Spain, $12,699,000; British South Africa, $10,661,000; Italy, $24,762,000; Canada, $27,550,000; Belgium, $35-341,000; Netherlands, $60,999,000; France, $5,208,000; Germany, $144-602,000; England, $496,401,000.

The celebration of the 31st Anniversary of the First Bryan Baptist church, West Bread street, on Sunday last was well attended, but the pastor Rev. A. Harris, says he regret the non attendance of many of the ministers of the city who he had expected to be present. Only four attended, but they were fully compensated by the interest manifested in the several gospel subjects under discussion. Sunday night's special text as handled by Rev. James Jackson, pastor of Asbury M. E. church, was a feast of fat things, showing deep thought and that it must have been the effort of his life. A Disastrous Calamity.

It shows that young Mr. McDowell has proven himself to be a young man of exceptional ability, one whom we all are proud of and hope for him much success: "Charles A. McDowell, a senior in the Fisk musical department, gave a pianoforte recital before quite a large audience Saturday eyingen. This recital marked the finishing up of one of the brightest students of music Fisk has ever had and the way in which McDowell conducted himself showed not only hard work on his part but superior instruction on the part of his teachers. The musical department of Fisk is in a very flourishing condition under the management of Miss Robinson, Mr. McDowell was very ably assisted by Miss Peake, who sang with marked effect." First A. B.

THE farming life of to-day, as contrasted with that of fifty years past, is paradise of loafers and convailence. The lonely loghouse, remote from market, and devoid of advantages that a half cycle of time has made possible, would scarcely appeal to the present day farmer. The twelfth century sold Hitler has practically all the modern comforts. His mail is delivered daily. He has telephonic connection with the buying and selling world, affording the best opportunities for marketing in advantage. His home is of recent architecture, constructed of wood, brick or stone, and well furnished. He has modern plumbing and modern heating, and with the advent of acetylene gas, he has modern lighting. At night his home is as attractively illuminated as that of his city brother, for it is a suggestive fact that "acetylene for country homes" has so appealed to the farmer that of the 80,000 users of acetylene gas in the United States the farmer is one of the largest of all classes. Ever seeking the best, he has not hesitated in availing himself of this new light. the continued growth and progress of this great country over a crusade of wondering, this no greater exemplification than evolution on the farm. Already the farmer is becoming the most envied of men—the freest, the healthiest, the happiest! WOULD SHOCK HER. "Papa, what would you say if Mr. Feathertop should ask your permission to marry me?"

Boyce, a farmer living three and a half miles from The n. t. on, Mo., says, "A severe cold selted in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on account of the aching in my back and slides. For a time I was unable to walk at all, and every makeshift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow, weaker, until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and I must say I was more than surprised and gratified to notice the backache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped."

Little Girl!—No, sir; but uncle is. Harper's Weekly. Every 'spring Pat Gibney, a well-known Taunton character, goes over to East Taunton to see the herring run. He hasn't missed seeing this sight any year since he arrived from Ireland thirty-nine years ago. Last spring, after watching the herrings for half an hour or more, Pat's curiosity was satisfied and he started for home. Not having much money, he decided to walk home, and save the fare. He was frudging along the road, with his "T. D." pipe in his mouth and blackthorn stick in hand, when an automople came up behind him. Turning, Pat saw the familiar face of Judge Fox. "Good morning, Pat," said the judge. "Morning, your Honor," said Pat. "Jump in, Pat, and I'll give you a ride to the green," said the judge. They had not gone far when Judge Fox turned to Gibney and said: "Well, bat you, would he, a long time in Ireland before the judge of the town would give you a ride in his automobile." "Faith, an' I would, your Honor," said Pat, "and you'd be a great deal longer over there before they'd make the 'likes of you judge of a town." "Considering the tendency of trousers to bag at the knees, regardless of the care bestowed upon them," remarked the thoughtful thinker, "it is sensibly suited to some kind of fashion to get busy and immortalize himself." But how could he do it? queried the dense party, by fading his tailor to cut them already bagged, explained the Chirango News: The "House-Workless" Home. The progress which is being and has already been made in eliminating the drudgery of housework is summarized in "With the Procession." In Everybody's, as follows: Philadelphia, has a vision, if we may apply such a word to the well pondered plan of a distinguished man of science. Woman, the home maker and mother, should not be hampered by household drudgery. Cooking is a matter of chemistry, and will be done by men. All the tedious chores of housework, washing, dish washing, scrubbing, ironing, sweeping, housecleaning. Oh, word of horror to the ears of man! will be done by public housework concerns. Houses will be heated from a central plant and swept by hydraulic brooms. Meals will come from the grand central cemetery or its nearest branch. Stables will be supplanted by automatic elevators. Washing day will disappear from the week. Even now many women send a telephone call for window cleaners and have their housewife "socks" darned by specialists. In the cities you have your chocks wound and your lamps trimmed and tended by outside experts. In the Norwegian town of Bergen, everybody's food comes from the town kitchen. In Paris the workman gets his hot soup from the grand central dinner kettle. "Happy day, if it ever comes, when women have no servants and no household drudgery to earn wrinkles by. We do not understand, however, just how a woman whose husband gets ten per cent is going to have that automatic elevator. Do the city, the town, the State pay for all these private utilities, made "public utilities?" Rich women escape drudgery now. How are the poor women to do it?" REQUIRED AN EFFORT.

Mr. Linton's Aphrodite. America, which exports its native beauties as wives for the European aristocracy, has just imported a Greek Venus. The happy owner, Mr. Linton of New York, regards it as a masterpiece of Praxiteles, and New York society is worshiping at its feet. Envious critics, of course, throw doubts on the antiquity of the statue, and recall the too-famous case of the "titara of Balthabarnes," which, though really a modern production, was bought by the Louvre as an antique a few years ago. Michael Angelo did not disdain to hoax the connoisseurs of his day by burying a broken statue and allowing the friend who dug it up to suppose that he had found an antique masterpiece, until the sculptor produced the missing limb in his own studio. Perhaps some clever Italian or Greek is hoaxing Mr. Linton, for less honest reasons.—London Chron- BOOK OF BOOKS. Over 20,000,000 Published. An Oakland Indy who has a taste for good literature, tells what a happy time she had on "The Road to Wellville." She says: "I drank coffee freely for eight years before I began to perceive any evil effects from it. Then I noticed that I was becoming very nervous, and that my stomach was gradually losing the power to properly assimilate my food. In time I got so weak that I dreaded to leave the house—for no reason whatever but because of the miserable condition of my nerves and stomach. I attributed the trouble to anything in the world but coffee, of course. I dosed myself with medicines, which in the end would leave me in a worse condition than at first; it was most wretched; and, discredited—not 30 years old and feeling that life was a failure! "I had given up all hope of ever enjoying myself like other people, till one day I read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." It opened my eyes, and taught me a lesson I shall never forget and cannot value too highly. I immediately quit the use of the old kind of coffee and began to drink Postum Food Coffee. I noticed the beginning of an improvement in the whole tone of my system, after only two days, use of the new drink, and in a very short time realized that I could go about like other people without the least return of the nervous dread that formerly gave me so much trouble. In fact my nervousness disappeared entirely and has never returned, although it is now a year that I have been drinking Postum Food Coffee. And my stomach is now like iron—nothing can upset it! "Last week, during the big Conevale in San Francisco, I was on the go day and night without the slightest fatigue; and as I stood in the immense crowd watching the great prize that lasted for hours, I thought to myself: This strength is what Postum. Food Coffee has given me!" Name, given, by Postum, Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. The little book. The Road to Wellville." may be found in every pkg.

In his testimony before the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce at Washington on May 11, Professor Hango R. Meynell of Chicago, University, in experiment on railroad management, made this statement: Let us look at what might have happened. If we had needed the professes of the farmers of New York had Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the seventh indenture from the West, began borrowing to therelast seaboard, and needed upon the doctrine which the interstate Commerce Commission has quenched time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could not have west of the Mississippi a population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the sparsity when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would, have been no, no farmers west of the Mississippi River, who could have used the land that, would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could, build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have to desist of the Mississippi, a steel and iron producing centre which, at once, the marvel and the despair of Europe, because we could not have built up, a steel and iron industry if there, had been no market for its product. "We could not have in New England a great hoot and shoe industry, we could not have in New England, a great cotton milling industry, we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing industries of the most diversified kinds, because those industries would have no market among the towns west of the Mississippi River." "And, while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural West of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricultural value, east of the Mississippi River that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars; it meant, incidentally, the building up of great manufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, these things were not foreseen in the solemnities. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the West, was going to play in the industrial development of the East. And, you may read, the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission, from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. "The Interstate Commerce Commission never can see anything, more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or, that some man, who has a hour, mill with a production of fifty barrels a day, is being crowded out. If never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the building up of farm values in that place, and that that shifting of values is a necessary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And, if we shall give to the interstate Commerce Commission power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesman-like basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen; who really have been great builders of empires; who have had an imagination that rivals the imagination of the greatest poet and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and during that rivals the courage and during that the greatest military, general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin the world over, is that they can never grasp a situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are confronted with a small evil that that evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected."

When the Garfield report on the business methods of the packers appeared after eight months' investigation, it was severely criticized, and loudly denounced. After three months of publicity it is significant that those who attempted to discredit it have failed to countervote the figures contained in that exhaustive document. The public is beginning to notice this omission, and the feeling is rapidly growing: that the sensational charges out of which the Bee Investigation" arises without tribulation. If the official" statements of the report are susceptible of" contradiction, a good many people are now asking, why the facts and figures are not furnished to contradict them. The truth seems to be that most of the charges contain unfounded sensational assertions. A flagrant example of this appeared in a recent article in an Eastern magazine, to the effect that forty town banks were forced to close their doors in 1963 by the Beet Trust's manipulation of cattle prices. Chief Clerk Cox of the banking department of the Iowa State Auditor's office, has tabulated the list of banks given in the magazine article and has publicly denounced the statement as utterly true. He gives separately the reasons for each failure mentioned and officially states that they have been caused by likewise misfortunes and by lessless banking methods. It may be well to auspend judgment upon the packers until the charges against them are proxed. Say Plainly to That you want LION or being a square man, will thing else.
