Isthmian Affairs to Be Fully Probed by Congress. BEGINS AFTER HOLIDAYS Senate Holds Up Nominations of the Waterway Commissioners—Press Agent" Bishop Attracts Attention. A Washington special says: The senate is to have a Panama canal investigation. Immediately after the holidays, the senate committee on interoceanic canals is going to pull the lid off the Panama canal situation. Leading republicans on the committee have determined that in the light of the revelations concerning high salaries and the suspicion of general extravagance in connection with the canal work, it is due the senate and the people that all the facts be disclosed. Republican senators are careful to disclaim any feeling of antagonism toward the president in this determination, but it is the intention of the committee to consider this necessary in order that they be in possession of all the facts necessary for them to have in shaping the legislation to govern the canal management in the future. They do not believe there has been any graft in connection with the enterprise, but the disclosures during the hearings before the committee on appropriations, and in the debates of last week in the senate, lead them to believe that there has been a good deal of extravagance, not only in connection with salaries, but in the general conduct of the commission's affairs. Confirmations by the senate of the nominations of members of the isthmian canal commission were considered Wednesday in executive session, and a motion was adopted calling upon the president for the return of the notification of the senate's previous action. When this has been done, the nominations again will be referred to the interoceanic canal committee for consideration. Before the decision was reached, charges of "railroading" nominations were made by several minority senators and counter-charges that the protestants were proceeding in a manner not prescribed by the rules of the senate were made by republican senators. The decision developed the fact that there had been no poll of the canal committee on nominations in question. It is generally understood that the purpose of the minority senators in asking to have the nominations returned is to permit a protest against Chairman Theodore P. Shonts holding a position on the commission and the presidency of the Clover Leaf railroad at the same time. The controversy in the senate resulted from a motion to take up the nomination of J. B. Bishop as a member of the commission, which was sent to the senate Wednesday. Objection was made, and Senator Morgan followed this by moving to reconsider the action of the senate in confirming members of the commission. A rule of the senate provides that when a nomination is confirmed or rejected, any senator voting in the majority may move for a reconsideration "on the same day the vote was taken or on either of the next two days of actual executive session of the senate." HEAVY STORM HITS FLORIDA. Uacksonville Received Brunt But No Great Damage Was Done. A storm swept over Jacksonville, Fla., and the surrounding country on Wednesday afternoon, cutting the city completely off from telegraphic communication with the outside world. Not a wire was working until nearly 10 o'clock p. m. TWELVE THOUSAND CASUALTIES Is Report Sent to a Lonpon Newspaper from City of Moscow. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times, in a dispatch dated December 26, says: "Governor General Doubassoff, telegraphing yesterday (Dec. 25) reported that 12,000 persons had been killed on wounded at Moscow." "I am informed from a good source that" 2,000; persons were killed and 10,000 wounded. The revolutionaries are "making no headway, but they show no signs of exhaustion." As a reward for defending the post-office at Emma, N. C., four years ago, against four burglar, President Roosevelt has waived the civil service regulations on the recommendation of Postmaster General Cortelyou, S. II. Alexander's Christmas gift was a promotion from a laborer to a clerkship in the department. Not only has the brave North Carolinian been promoted, but to accentuate the honor an official statement was issued Tuesday, which gives a full account of the deed. The attempted robbery took place on the night of February 5, 1901, and the official account says: "After the store in which the postoffice at Emma is located closed for the night, Mr. Alexander, who had been sleeping in the room adjoining, heard a knock on the door and inquired what was wanted. He was told that some one living near wanted his mail, and he unbarred the door. "Two masked men entered, covered him with revolvers and commanded him to give up his own revolver and open the fireproof safe. While one of the burglars, Frank Johnson, who had laid his revolver on the desk near the safe, was stooping in the act of looting the safe, and during a moment when the other burglar, Ben Foster, had his head turned, Alexander seized the idle revolver and shot the latter near the heart. He attempted to shoot Johnston also, but failed to do so, as the revolver snapped. "A desperate struggle followed. Foster, although seriously wounded, pursued Alexander and shot him in the abdomen, the bullet coming out at the back. Alexander, seeing Foster about to shoot at him again, swung Johnson around so that the bullet struck Johnson's left shoulder from the rear, passed through his neck and lodged in his right jaw, from which it was extracted. Alexander's face and hands were badly cut and bruised before he overpowered the burglars. "Alexander managed, however, to put them both out of the building, to call out a signal of distress and then fainted. The postmaster, hearing the signal, came to Alexander's relief and found him lying weak and faint in a pool of blood. "His bravery is the more accentuated when it is known that Mr. Alexander is a man of small stature, probably not more than 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs less than 125 pounds. It would seem that he must have been possessed of almost superhuman strength to oust the two desperadoes from the postoffice. Two accomplices who were waiting on the outside carried away the wounded burglar to a house, in which they were arrested the same night. "The two burglaries above mentioned, with two accomplices, after trial were given the extreme penalty of the law, which for the offense committed in the state of North Carolina is death. Afterwards the sentence was commuted in the case of two of the burglaries to life imprisonment. The other two were hanged on February 26, 1902." NATIONAL WEDDING PRESENT Proposed to Be Raised for Miss Alice Roosevelt—Ten Cents Ljmit. An effort to create by popular subscription a wedding present for Miss Alice Roosevelt, who is to be married to Congressman Nicholas Longworth in February, has been started by citizens of the eastern part of Oregon. It is the plan to have the subscribers live in every state in the union, the amount being remitted to various state treasurers, who will in turn forward it to the secretary of the treasury at Washington. The subscription will close on February 8, to enable the present, which is to be about $800,000, to be turned over to Miss Roosevelt on the day of the wedding. Individual subscriptions will be limited to 10 cents. BOOZE FOR MISSISSIPPIAN8. More Christmas Liquor Sent Into the State That Ever Known Before. A Jackson, Miss., dispatch says: Never before in the history of the state has such a large volume of whiskey shipments, been handled, by the express companies as that now being brought in from almost every direction. The Christmas liquor traffic in Mississippi is always heavy, but this year it is remarkably so. Express cars are piled to the doors with boxes, crates, and jugs from Memphis, Vicksburg, Natchez, New Orleans and St. Louis. SAN DEMINGO ROW Decision to "Hands Off" Reached at Conference at White House. Serious Situation Prevails In Little Island. A Washington special says: For the present there will not be any interference by the United States in the difficulty which has arisen in Santo Domingo. The trouble is regarded by the, state department officials as entirely an internal one, and so long as outside interests are not menaced, this attitude of non-interference will be maintained. If, however, conditions should change materially, and lawless acts should be committed against Americans and American interests, and involving the collection of Dominican customs by this government, or other acts of violence occur which, in the opinion of the officials in Washington, would make it proper for this government to interfere, this step will be, taken and measures adopted to quell the trouble. This decision was reached by the state department officials and confirmed at a conference at the white house late Tuesday afternoon, in which the president, Secretary Root, Secretary Taft and Secretary Bonaparte participated. The cabinet officers remained at the white house until nearly 6' o'clock p. m. The gathering, however, was not called specifically for the purpose of dissuasing matters developing in Santo Domingo, but to consider several questions which the president was anxious to dispose of preliminary to his departure for an outing of several days in Virginia. Advices received by cable at the state and navy departments from Santo Domingo indicate that a serious condition of affairs exist there. The captain of the port of Puerto Plata has been shot and killed during an insurrectionary movement and the governor of that province has defied the general government and barricaded the town. The Dominican government has issued a decree removing the governor. The state department has determined that this is an internal difficulty, and will not intervene at this stage. The secretary of war received the following cablegram from the comptroller and receiver of the Dominican customs, Edwards, dated at Santo Domingo: "Carlos F. Morales, dissatisfied with cabinet support, left capital Tuesday night with few followers. His intention seems to be to join Jiministas in opposition to Horacistas. Conflict between the two forces is imminent probably in vicinity of San Juan or vicinity of Puerto Plata. Carlos F. Morales may make attempt to establish new capital and create a new cabinet. Political excitement, but without disturbance present. Receivership is not affected yet, George R. Colton should' be at Monte Christi Tuesday." A cable dispatch from Santo Domingo, under Monday's date, was as follows: Following the announcement that the president of the republic, Morales, has left the capital for an unknown destination, troops were sent in pursuit of the chief magistrate. What took place after that cannot be definitely determined. RAILROAD DEAL REPORTED. Rumor Says Central of Georgia Has Secured Stillmore Alrs. Ln A report has reached Swainsboro, Ga., that Hon. George M. Brinson, owner and president of the Stillmore Air Line, has sold that road to the Central of Georgia railroad, the consideration being in the vicinity of $400,000. This deal is said to have been consummated several days ago. GEN. WHEELER A CANDIDATE. "Fighting Joe" May Be Appointed Police Commissioner of New York. A New York dispatch says: General Joseph Wheeler, the famous cavalry leader, was announced Tuesday as a candidate for William McAdoo's place as police commissioner. His friends think it settled that Mayor McGellan will name him for the position. That General Wheeler is a possibility for ruler of the New York city police caused much surprise when the news came out. ROOSEVELT RAPPED POLITICAL SCRAP IS ON President and Governor Higgins Are Accused of Attempting to Wreck Party for Their Own Personal Ambition. Former Governor B. B. Odell, Jr. chairman of the New York republican state committee, made a statement Thursday in which he charged President Moosevelt and Governor Higgins with a deliberate attempt to wreck their party in the state, for their personal ambitions. He declared that disaster ensued they, not he, will be responsible. Mr. Odell's accusations were a part of his comment on the situation-growing out of the contest in the republican party in the state for the leadership of the New York state assembly. Mr. Odell declared himself in favor of E. A. Merritt, Jr., several days ago. A few days ago Governor Higgins came out in favor of J. W. Wadsworth, Jr. Mr. Odell said that he had understood Governor Higgins was for Merritt, and was surprised when the governor "switched his trolley." He said it was the "worst case of duplicity in politics he had ever known," and continued: "I charge Mr. Roosevelt and Governor Higgins with deliberately trying to wreck the party in this state for their own personal ambitions. If this means party disaster they, and not I and my friends, are responsible. They, and not I, are to blame. "So far as gratitude is concerned, Governor Higgins certainly owed me something. Instead of putting, out the hand of friendship, he chooses to throw stones at those who have been his friends. Higgins could have told me that he did not want me nor Morritt to be in this affair, but instead he throws stones. If the president wanted reform I was friendly, and they could have had it. "I charge him and Governor Higgins with injecting their personality into this matter. Their harmony consists of 'knocking.' I make this prediction, that Wadsworth will not be elected as speaker. We will put him out." Governor Higgins, in an interview, said the president was not interfering in the speakership contest, and that Odell had no authority for using his name in support of Merritt's candidacy. Senator George R. Malby, acting as spokesman for the Merritt forces, declared that Governor Higgins' action in naming Wadsworth as his candidate for speaker was an "impeachable offense." "I never knew of such coerclon." continued the senator. Thursday night Mr. Odell asserted that it was President Roosevelt who persuaded him to come out for ex-Governor Black for United States senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew, and it was the use of the president's influence against Black subsequently which led to Black's defeat. TO HOME FOR OLD PEOPLE. Former Strenuous Governor of Wisconsin Goes to Abide. Thursday, in lonely old age, William R. Taylor, governor of Wisconsin from 1874 to 1876, went to live hereafter at the Old People's home, located near Madison. Mr. Taylor's administration was a stormy one during the Grange movement, when laws for railway regulation much like those enacted during Governor LaFollette's administration, were placed on the statute books, but were repealed by the next legislature. In a notable right before the supreme court, Governor Taylor established the right of the state to retake corporations. Since leaving the governorship he has lived quietly on a farm ten miles from Madison. INSANE MAN SLAYS SHERIFF. Sensational Tragedy Occur in Courtho room of California Town. Frank Willard, an insane man, shot and killed Sheriff Henry Smith in Judge White's court at Uklah, Cal., Friday. He then fired at Judge White, but missed him. Willard then rushed out of the court house, shooting at every one who attempted to stop him. An armed posse started in pursuit immediately and came upon him just as he was entering a nearby canyon. Willard emptied his pistol at his pursuers and shots were exchanged. Most Important Feature of Treaty Between Japan and China in Relation to Manchuria. A Washington special says some important details of the treaty between Japan and China signed a few days ago at Pekin have reached the state department by cable. China consents to lease to Japan the Liao-Tung peninsula at the southern extremity of which is Port Arthur and Dalny. This territory was formerly held by Russia under lease from China. China concedes to Japan the control of the railway of the peninsula northward, as far as Chang Chin. This is one of the spurs which connects with the Russian Siberian railway system. China also concedes to Japan the right to build a railway from An-Tung on the Yalu river to Mukden, the ancient capital of Manchuria, probably alqong the route of the famous old military or caravan road. Most important of all the provisions of the treaty is an article whereby China agrees to open to world's commerce and trade all principle ports and cities, including, Harbin, the modern Russian capital of the provinces and its important railroad centers thus increasing, in the opinion of the state department officials, the financial success of the long struggle by the United States for the open door. NEGROES IN BLOODY FRACAS. Bully, With Revolver, Attempted to 'Break Up a Christmas Party. Break Up a Christmas Party. The latest reports received in Valdosta, Ga., from the fight between negroes at Ewing are that one negro was instantly killed, five or six seriously wounded, and one, at least, mortally wounded. The latter negro was almost disembowelled by a load of buckshot and was carried to Jacksonville, Fla., in a dying condition. This negro, whose name is given as Will Johnson, is said to be the man who began the row. He is reported to have entered a house where a party of negroes were having a festival and, whipping out a big pistol with the declaration that he proposed to kill the crowd, began shooting. All of the negroes belonged to a turpentine camp near Ewing. It is said that four men were unaccounted for after the melee, and it is believed they were shot and fled to the woods.

Such Is Declaration of Wounded Man In California Hospital. Charles E. Ehler, on a cot in the county hospital at Bakersfield, California, suffering from a wound presumably self-inflicted, has admitted that he has information as to the killing of Governor William Goebel of Kentucky, which he alleges, would clear Caleb Powers, former secretary of state of Kentucky, now under sentence of death for complicity in the murder of Goebel. LAST CHRISTMAS AND THIS Head of Georgia Division of Cotton Association, Makes Comparison. President M. L. Johnson, of the Georgia division, Southern Cotton Association, in a brief Christmas interview, presents an interesting contrast in the conditions which confronted the southern planter a year ago and those of today. "Then and now! How different with the cotton producer of the south!" President Johnson remarked. "Last Christmas cotton was selling at 6.12 cents; now it is way up around 12 cents. It makes the very air feel different." In publishing the pages of letters from bankers and others throughout the south including a wonderful experience in the range of farm industries Mznufacturers.

"While it is true that the trial development of the marketing forward with amazing success is nevertheless true (that) by of the extent of the attitudinal terraces of the south, agriculture of the foundation of the business section. A change from personal prosperity of the farmers, a change from land, without a value to land in demand an advance of 50 to 150 per cent even nominal price of one or two ago, is the most far-reaching element in southern advancement in last quarter of 8 century.

"Having won this fight, the handling of cotton from the factory, whether the business this country or in Europe, has been upon an entire, now major history.

"Throughout the central south, it is very generally stated that imported or due mainly, to the commercial prosperity of the farmers, and not merely brought about, by the demand for cotton, cotton must be selling at a considerable price on the basis of the price of cotton.

VAL WARYNG'S MISTAKE By Florence E. Eastwick. Francie was so absorbed in her business that she did not see him until he was close to her, and he had time to appreciate the freshness of her girlish beauty out there in the sunlight; the expression of her eyes was so innocent and gentle as she caressed her birds that he commenced instantly in humble language to beg for her pardon. She listened with head averted until he said he had mistaken her for some one else. "For some one else!" she repeated, in a startled tone. A GIRL sat with, her hands clasped round her knees, staring out of the window with unseeing eyes—her thoulsfur far away. Be thoughts far away. Behind her the room was almost dark, it a rosy glow slanted through the ww casement and touched her bright town hair into threads of gold. An coming swiftly into the room situated for a moment in the doorway, then, with a whimsical expression of amusement in his eyes, wentward softly, and, putting a hand der her chin, kissed her upturned eye. But, as his lips touched hers, he colled with a start; her face was unknown to him, and at the same moment the girl sprang from her seat, gusting him from her with both kids. The color swept from her oat to her forehead, her blue eyes zed, her slender figure was tense indignation. How dare you!" she said, passionly; and he, for a moment, had no ready. He was completely takenck, but managed at last to stammer I'm very sorry.

I never cared for Gladys!" "I know, mother; don't let us talk about her any more." When he came down dressed for dinner, he sent a keen glance round the room, but only his mother was there, seated by the fire with her knitting. Curtains were drayn and lamps lighted, and there was an air of comfort and snugness which appened to him; he felt it was pleasant to be at home again. "You seem to have altered things here, mother. I don't know quite what the change is; perhaps it is all these flowers about, and surely the curtains are new, and this is very pretty." He touched the piece of qualit embroidered velvet on the marble mantel, where Venetian glass and Dresden china gave tones of bright color. "Oh, that's all Francie's doing; she likes arranging flowers for the rooms and pulling the furniture about!" Mrs. Waryng answered, with tranquil satisfaction. As she spoke, Francie herself entered the room. "Ah, here you are, dear; you and Val have already made each other's acquaintance, I hear!" Val advanced with outstretched hand and a twinkle of his eyes. She gave him a quick, defiant glance, but did not relinquish her hold on the fluffy, white Persian cat she'held in her arms. "Yes—we have met," was all she designed to reply, and then turned her attention to playing with the cat. Val felt he was in disgrace, but, as he stood looking down at the bright hair and downcast gylashes resting on the flushed cheek, he was conscious of no penitence for his transgression. During dinner the conversation was almost entirely a duologue between the mother and son: Frances Yane refused to be drawn into it, only occasionally vouchsafing a remark when directly spoken to. Mrs. Waryng was far too happy in hearing Val talk to notice anyone else's silence. When he went to join the ladies in the parlor, after smoking his cigar, he found his mother again alone. "Francie has some letters to write. so she has gone to her own room; she insisted we would rather have our first evening together," Mrs. Warygg told him, cheerfully. So this proud malden meant to ignore him by way of punishment; but, at all events, she had told no tales. His mother, with her old-fashioned ways, might possibly have taken umbrage at his mistake. One of her chief complaints against him in former days had been what she called his "frivolity of conduct" with the young women of the neighborhood—very harmless flirtations he considered them to have been, on looking back. He began to understand that he would have to make his peace by going down on his knees to Miss Francie Vane. It was strange that the image of his erstwhile ladylove seemed to have been completely blotted from his memory and given place to the picture of a girl with bright brown hair gazing at the setting sun. He became so inattentive to his mother's questionings that, at last, she declared he appeared fired and bade him "Goodnight!"—but it was the remembrance of a stolen kiss that was distracting his attention. The next morning, as he stood by his dressing table, a rush of white wings outside his window and the sound of cooling replies to a sibilant call beneath, attracted his attention. Looking down on the lawn, he saw his mother's ward feeding the pigeons, who clustered around her feet and settled on her shoulders, and even dared impudently to take the grain from the basket she carried on her arm. At a little distance the white cat sat apart, and eyed the group with contemptuous indifference, while a couple of fox terrifiers rolled and rollicked at the further end of the lawn. It was for such a scene as this that his eyes had jached in the glaring solitudes of his exile—the girl in her simple morning dress, the garden with its mellow autumn tints, the sense of rest and peace; this was home! A feeling of great contentment took possession of him; he hastened to finish his dressing, and to join the party in the garden. "Yes! For a young lady whom I thought I had a right to kiss—though that, as it happens, was another mistake, he added, bitterly. She looked at him intently, and he felt sure that she knew the other side of the story—the side taken by Gladys, whatever it might be. When he questioned Francie, she admitted that Gladys had told her something—that they were "not suited to each other." "And that it was my fault?" he interjected. "I thought I heard somebody," he whispered. "Nonsense," his companion exclaimed, roughly. "It was only the wind." She did not reply, but throwing the last handful from her basket, turned toward the house. He walked by her side meditating, wondering what her thought about him might be. Could he have read them, he would have discovered some confusion in Francl's mind. The description given by Gladys Harcourt of her dare-devil lover, who had won her consent to an engagement more by the impetuosity of his lovemaking after a week's acquaintance than by anything else, did not accord quite with the bearded man of grave demeanor and quiet speech walking beside her. Possibly his mother had declared him to have been the handsomest and most attractive boy in the world, who would certainly have been spoiled by her women friends if she had not rescued him by sheer force of will from their too pronounced encouragement. Francie had imagined a good-looking, conceived young man who took for granted that every girl must be ready to fall in love with him at first sight—an opinion which his method of introducing himself to her seemed to have justified. Of his good looks there could be no doubt, but the night before, while she had sat listening to him, she discerned in his conversation only a frank and outspoken love for his mother, and a natural exhilaration at finding himself once more at home. She began to think she had judged him hardy; her severity relaxed, and, when they reached the house, they were on excellent terms. Fate and Mrs. Waryng together conspired to further their intimacy. Val's mother had a neuralgic attack and remained in her room, so to Franche fell the task of entertaining the young man. They breakfasted together, then went round the gardens, stables and paddock. She knew every creature in the barnyard, and they knew her—dogs, cats, horses, not excluding the pigs and the inhabitants of the poultry yard—all came hurrying to greet her at the sound of her voice; she seemed like a fairy princess in her own little world. They lunched together, and then, at Mrs. Waryng's request, Franche took Val for a drive in her dogcart. He was interested in seeing all his old haunts again, but evinced no desire to pay any calls on former friends. "There will be plenty of time later to look up the natives—just now I feel a bit off!" he told her, and she understood his words bore some reference to the fickle Glads. After dinner he fetched a portfolio of snapshots, to show her the strange places he had visited in his travels. Among them was a photograph of his former fiancee, taken at the time of his departure from home. He took it up and gazed hard at the cold and discontented beauty of the face; then he looked at France. How different was her fresh and natural charm from that other—who, although five years his senior, had enchained his boyish heart. He laid the pleture aside, and with it went all regret. The days slipped into weeks, and one afternoon Val found the girl in her favorite seat near the window; she was reading a letter, and he recognized the writing. "You have heard from Gladys?" he said, as he sat down beside her. "She is well—and happy?" he queried. "She says she is both; that she has at last found her vocation, and never knew before what it was to be content with life." As he sat silent, looking out of the window, she murmured: "Are you sorry, Val?" she asked, quietly. He turned and looked at her. "Have I seemed as if I were sorry, here with you? You might help me to be very glad!" Meeting his eyes, she began to understand. He laid his hand on hers and asked: "Do you remember our first meeting, Francie? What were you thinking about then, when I found you here?" "I was thinking—well, I was thinking what you would be like!" Her'eyes drooped—and then he also understood—New York Weekly. A Complimentary Captain John D. Crimmins, in the New York Times, tells of a party that hired a boat owned by a man at Atlantic City who takes out sailing parties for a consideration. A number of young ladies were of the party. About a mile and a half out from the Inlet the wind freshened most unexpectedly and there was trouble. For a while it looked as if the dinky little catboat would capsize. The girls were considerably wrought up and gave expression to their fears in no uncertain manner. "See here, young ladies," said the owner of the craft, just as one of the passengers let out an awful shriek, "you seem to forget that if she goes down I'm the chap that loses most. She's my boat."

The baby had been particularly aggravating, and no inducement could make him sleep. At last, with satisfied gurgilings and little crows, he had settled both chubby hands in Jacky's thick, brown mane, and pulled with all his might. To have one's hair pulled is always peculiarly provoking, but to have it pulled when one is already cross is too much for human endurance. Jacky spanked the soundly and then mother came and—well, Jacky had decided life wasn't worth living. She would go away. Father and mother would be glad to get rid of her, mother especially, or she would, have considered that one is not responsible for one's conduct when one's hair has all been pulled out by the roots. Jacky almost determined to go to grandfather. She knew he was lonely, and the way he had looked at her once or twice made her sure that his heart, too, was aching for love. Grandfather was mother's father, but he and mother never even spoke. Mother often cried when grandfather was mentioned, and when Jacky asked questions father said that grandfather had never forgiven mother because she had loved and married him. Jacky was sure grandfather would want her, but mother would not wish her to go to him. Instead, she would run down to the river, climb into the boat, and, pushing far out, would think and think and go just where the river would carry her. So she sped quickly across the meadow to the tiny stream and, unmooring the boat, paddled into the current. Unkind thoughts weren't easy out there under the tender, blue sky where the willows were crowding the bank and striving to gaze-at themselves in the clear water trickling slowly by them. Jacky lay down in the bottom of the boat and gazed at the feathery cloudlets far away in the great blue dome. All was so peaceful that gradually her eyelids drooped and she fell asleep. Suddenly, startled by rough volces, Jacky sat up. The boat had drifted far down stream and under the shadow of some willows. Feeking through the screens of bushes, Jacky tried to, see the speakers. Not more than four rods from her, lying stretched upon the grass, were two men. Both were ragged, unkempt and evil-looking. The one nearest her, a great, coarse, hulking fellow, was speaking. "I tell ye it's there. I heard the old man tell the housekeeper he must take it to the bank to-morrow. He said it was all the pay for that big, river farm. There must be ten thousand of it, if there's a cent." "But," the other interposed, "can we get it? Old Windham's allers keeps a gun handy. He ain't a bad shot neither." The first speaker leaned over excitedly. "I tell ye old Windham thinks nobody knows about it. Though he's quick, he's old. Every afternoon he takes a nap, and wildcats couldn't wake him. The housekeeper is going to town this afternoon, for I heard her tell Jake, the hired man, to hitch up, and the men are all working in the meadow across the river. If the old man wakes up—" the tramp paused and lifted his club suggestively. Jacky drew her breath hard in sudden comprehension. They meant grandfather, and were going to steal his money and, may be, kill him. The next instant she sank back in horrible fear, for one of the men had risen. But the first tramp came directly toward the boat, pushing aside the willows. Jacky understood then that her only hope lay in tricking them. She had often, played at being astepy and must play it now to save herself and grandfather. Just then the willows above her parted, and the tramp saw her. Startled, the stepped back and motioned to his companion. Both stood looking at Jacky, and she could hear them whispering. Suddenly one of them leaned down until his cheek almost touched hers, while he listened intently. Her breath came smoothly and evenly. Not a quiver of the features. betrayed her. Then the willows sprang back, and she could hear his footsteps retreating. Slow tears crept from under Jacky's lids. If she only dared go for help now! She knew the place. It was only a little way from grandfather's. But she must be sure the tramps had gone before she moved. Besides, they would not go to the house until certain old Hannah was on the way to the village. At last, stealthily, she raised herself and peered through the willows. The men were not in sight. Summoning all her courage, with a little prayer for help, Jacky stole through the woods. When she reached the open she began to run, over the meadows, through the gate, straight into grandfather's arms. Tightly clasping his neck, she gasped out her story, while the bewildered old man held his granddaughter close as though he had always wanted her. When at last he understood, Hannah was quickly dispatched for help and a reception prepared for the tramps. But those gentlemen never came, having in some way found their plot was discovered. Late in the afternoon Mr. Windham took Jacky home; and, when all was told, with one arm around his daughter and Jacky, he held out his free hand to his son-in-law, blessing, while tears rolled down his face, Jacky's courage and Jacky's evil day, which had at last dispersed the cloud of misunderstanding and given them all to each other again.—Mabel L. Sherburne, in the Tribune Farmer. FUN WITH A LAMP Take an ordinary knitting-needle, and stick one end of it into a cork. Holding it by the cork so as not to burn your fingers, thrust the other end into the flame of an alcohol lamp, and keep it there until it is heated to redness. Dip the red hot needle into cold water, and when it is cool, thrust it again into the flame. If you watch it now you will see that it changes color curiously, turning first yellow, then orange, then crimson, violet, blue, and finally gray. The reason is that a film of rust forms on the needle, and this alters its color as it grows gradually thicker. This is a matter of great importance in tempering steel, for the changes in color are watched carefully, as the kind of steel depends on the time when it is taken from the fire and cooled. For instance, if you take the needle from the flame, and cool it when it is yellow, it will be much harder than if left in the flame until blue, and then cooled. This is shown in the steel pins that are commonly used. The blue steel ones are likely to snap in two with the least pressure; whereas, those that are tempered yellow are much stronger. While you have your alcohol lamp burning, take a piece of metallic tin—not tinplate and place it on an ordinary playing card, first turning up the edges of the card, forming a sort of box-lid. Hold the card containing the tin over the flame, and the card will not burn, but the tin may be melted thus. The reason is that the tin is so good a conductor of heat that it carries it away before the card has time to burn. Now take a copper wire, an iron wire, and a glass tube, and dip each of them into melted wax so as to form a coating on them. After they are dry, lay them on a table, with the ends projecting about two inches over the edge, and crossing each other. Under the place where they cross hold the flame of the alcohol lamp, so as to heat them equally. You can tell which is the best conductor of heat by the way the wax melts, that on the best conductor melting first. But there will be a point where the wax does not melt at all, because the heat will be conducted off into the air before reaching that point on the rod. On the good conductor, however, the wax will be melted much farther than on a poor conductor. Take an iron rod, and on its lower surface click small wooden balls or bullets, by means of wax. Hold one end of the rod in the alcohol lamp flame, and as the wax melts, the balls will fall to the floor beginning with those nearest the flame-New York Evening Mall. Vast Salaries of Kings and Queens The Kaiser receives $3,925,000 a year as King of Prussia, but nothing as Emperor of Germany. Besides this he has an enormous private income, derived from mines, fisheries and estates, of which he owns more than any other man in Prussia. The King of Bavaria receives $1,350,000 a year; the King of Saxony, $875,000; the Grand Duke of Baden, $400,000. The Czar of Russia is paid $6,750,000 for his private use, while each Grand Duke receives $1,000,000 a year. In addition to these enormous salaries each of these rulers has a large income from royalties and perquisites of many kinds, of which few outsiders know, anything. New York World.

By Charles Daly Douglas EYERAL years ago, after a decade of mischievous rem- erative, labor, I found my self in the city of Paris. I resolved to, take a rest while I could, and have a FURRAIL years ago, after a decade of hardship remembrative, labor, I found myself in the city of Paris. I resolved to, take a rest while I could, and have a good time. During my three months' stay in the French capital, I met with many adventures, most of them the result of my imperfect acquaintance with the language, and many of them ending in a mutual explanation and a good humored laugh; but the one I am about to relate was of an entirely different kind. I had no acquaintances in Paris to invite me to elegant parties or receptions, and therefore I had no need for elegant dress. During my travels, I had picked up and preserved a great variety of costumes, and the fancy now seized me to wear them just as the whim should dictate. And so I did. On Monday I would stroll off attired as a Russian, on Tuesday as a Turk, on Wednesday as a Swiss, and so on. One day I was summoned to appear before the prefect of police. I went, wondering what could be wanted of me in that quarter. When I was ushered into the presence of that functionary, he closed the door and attentively regarded me. "What nation?" he asked, in English, "American." "I supposed so. Well, Monstere American, pray be so good as to inform the what-object you have in going about the streets as though you were at a fancy dress party, in the costumes of all known nations?" "It is merely a whim," was my reply. "It suits me to do so; that is all I can say about it." "Indeed?" He looked hard at me for a moment, and then continued: "I am well satisfied that you have no improper object in all this masquerading; had it been otherwise, my agents would have discovered it. You have been under their espionage constantly. I have sent for you to tell you that; though you are at liberty to continue this style of proceeding, if you choose to do so, yet in the 'end' you may find it to your advantage to drop it. This is a strange city, and the role you have adopted may involve you in compilations that you little dream of. I merely give you a friendly warning. Good-morning." This was a caution that I ought to have regarded; but I was younger then than I am now, and full of the idea of my own importance and acuteness. If the prefect could not explain what danger there could be in my dressing as I chose, it was clear to me that there could be no danger; so I smiled at the caution and went my way as before. There was one of my costumes that was rather a favorite with me—a showy Spanish dress, richly braided, with a large mantle and sombrero to match. I believe I had appeared in public with this much oftener than with any of the other costumes. A few nights after with the prefect, I was returning to my lodgings in this dress. There had been a great exhibition of fireworks in the Place Vendome, which had continued until 11, and as I walked on slowly, enjoying my cigar, it was half an hour later before I turned into the narrow street on which was my place of abode. The street was unlighted, and quite dark and deserted. Presently three men came rapidly behind me, talking and laughing in a way that at first led me to think that they had been, taking too much wine. One of them quickened his pace, overtook me, and addressed me in Spanish. I knew a little of the language, and I understood that he was asking me for a light. I held out my cigar, and at the instant my arms were seized from behind and pinioned with a alipnet, my throat was compressed by a pair of bony hands, and a thick padded hood was wrapped closely, about my face and head. The thing was done so suddenly and so secretly that I was taken entirely by surprise. I tried to cry out, but found I could not utter a sound. I was lifted off my feet. I heard a shrill whistle, a carriage was driven up, I was thrust into it, some of my captors, following, others mounted to the box, and the vehicle was driven away at a rattling pace. I shall waste neither words nor space in describing my emotions. I wish merely to speak of facts, and the reader may supply the rest for himself. I struggled at first, but another siloose was corded tightly about my legs, and a few cautionary words of maison from one of the men covered in threat, which caused us to be silent. The vehicle was driven at a rapid pace, which Ms. Bassett brought it to the end of the paved street, and I knew we were approaching one of the suburbs. The journey was continued for more than an hour after this, my companions exchanging a word now, and then in an underone. At last we stopped, the door opened, and I was was lifted out and carried a new step, then down a flight of stairs, across a paved floor, and into an apartment. My hood, four doors were removed, and I was commanded to stand up. I dreaded. The one sweeting chance that I knew around this was sufficient to tell me that I was in one of those semi-antique that chats us so common in the environs of Paris. But I had little time or desire to push my inquiries to my beacroubles. Three figures died in masks and long black mantles surrounded me, each holding a rapper with the point almost touching my person." I gave myself up for tost, and. Was whispering a prayer, when the most astonishing phase of my adventure occurred. The three other simultaneously uttered a Spanish oath, and, dropping the points of their weapons, thrust their faces close to minds and peered into it. A torrent of Spanish oaths succeeded the inspection; the hood was thrown over my head, again, and my arms and legs were agitated. I was then carried back to the vehicle, and actually rebounded to Paris, as swiftly, his secretly, and as rapidly as I had been taken out of it. My bonds had muffered the noise more removed; and I was put down at the very spot where I had been kidnapped, not at all injured in body because of my adventure, but much bewildered, in mind. The curtriage and its conductors were instantly gone. After a very sleepless night I repaired to the prefect of police and fold him my story. He was much interested by it and asked me many questions. - "What under 'heaven' does it all mean?" at length asked. "Oh, it's very easily understood, Monseleur Masquerade! It may be that you, in your Spynish dress, and with your brown face 'and well-trimmed beard and mustache, must bear a remarkable presembrance' to some real Castilian in Paris! The real Castilian has his enemies; he has eloped with somebody's wilde' or shot somebody's brother. His enemies sponge to dissassinate him; how you had nearly found out in a practical way last night! They make a very natural mistake, under the circumstances, and lay hold of Monseleur Masquerading American, instead of Monseleur Castilian. They find out their mistake at the last moment; much to their chagrin; and, instead ofitting you tie pieces in the old chateau, they bring your back again, to learn a little wisdom from the adventure! Ah, I must look after these Spantales. I think I have a clew to them. And how you'll give up your fancy dressing; eh!" "That I will, most gladly," I declared; as the old shivers passed through me at the recollection of my almost miraculous escape. The perfect smiled and bowed me out; and my first care was to go to the tailor and order a suit of Parisian garments—New York Weekly. The Riskiest Work. There are many theories as to the most dangerous calling, but statistics go far to prove that the caretakers of elephants have the most risky work. Good elephant-minders command good pay, and they deserve to, as they live in a state of constant watchfulness, realizing the treacherous nature of the brutes. Elephants are the most treacherous, moody and changeable animals in a menagerie, and are reckoned far more dangerous than lions, ligers or bears. Trainers state that the elephants brain works much like that of a human being. The moods and tempers of the big brutes change suddenly. The weather, or a bruised foot, may turn one at any moment into a peevish brute, and the great danger is when an elephant is just turning into a rogue. Female elephants are more apt to become toughish when the males, and are more violent when in their squir moods. These animals form strong attachments for certain men, and bitter hatred for others—a hatred that means murder when the opportunity arrives.—Detroit News Tribune The fly's capacity for crime is extended by its strength, which is, relatively nearly seven times that of a horse, for it ten tenth twenty times its own weight. It can absorb enzymes quantities of oxygen, and is in fact a confirmed oxygen toper. The reprehensible habit of walking upside down on the ceiling, to which the fly is addicted, is due to its habit of exuding gum from each of the 1200 hollow hairs in its feet. The fly too, has an evil eye, which is divisible into several other eyes. It has also 1700 or 1800 parts all connected with the diffactory nerves, and therefore "obssessed" "complete" equipment for detecting misunder meat such is given to no other living creatures.

W CONSIDER THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACT That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private illa to a woman—a woman whose experience with woman's diseases covers a great many years. You can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides it man does not 'vindar' stand—simply because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence and drift away from, bad to worse, knowing fall well that ought to have immediate assistance, but a nuttier modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examining even their family physician. It is unwise without money or price you can consult a whose knowledge from actual experience in Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female illness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are responded to read and answered by women on woman can freely talk of her private illness woman thus has been established the site of confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the two of America which has never been broken.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this lube is inflamed, it can impair hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

WISE WORDS. A hypocrite in the church is always prominent because of the contrast. You can always borrow trouble without collateral, but you will have to pay compound interests at usurious rates. The man in the brownstone palace may enjoy life after a fashion, but he misses the satisfaction of the humble cottager. The key to success in any department of life is self-denial. Idleness, laziness, wastefulness come from lack of it; while industry, promptitude, economy, thrift and a successful career are the result of it. — Woman's Life. Terrible Burden of War. One-eighth of the human race, it is estimated, has been killed in war. The maintenance of the armaments of the world, land and naval, costs at the present time about $1,200,000,000; a year. A first-class battleship ($6,500,000) costs more than the valuation of all the land and the ninety-four buildings of Harvard University plus all the land-and buildings of both the Hampton and Tuskegee institutes. Our present naval program calls for the construction of at least twenty more such battleships. The expenditures on our navy in 1885 was about $14,000,000. In 1904 it was over $103,000,000, an increase of 700 per cent. in eighteen years. The present cost of our navy per year is more than $8 per family. In 1886 it was only about $1.25 per family. Our war with Spain and the Philippines in seven years cost us about $1,000,000.00. Our present naval program, if carried out, will call for the expenditure of about $200,000,000 a year for naval maintenance. Our total military expenditures for the year 1904, including war, navy and pension items, was over $380,000,000, or over, two-thirds of our total national expenditures. Leslie's Weekly. Wordsworth's Joke. A rare old book, called the Living Authors of England, published in 1840, commences with a study of Wordsworth, in which is recorded what is said to be the only joke the poet ever made. At a friend's house, after dinner, it appears the conversation turned upon wit and humor. Thomas Moore, who was present, told some anecdotes of Sheridan, whereupon Wordsworth observed that he did not consider himself a witty poet. "Indeed," he said. "I do not think I was ever witty but once in my life." Being pressed to tell the company what this special drollery was, the poet said, with some hesitation: "Well, I will tell you. I was standing some time ago at the entrance of my cottage at Bydal Mount, when a man accosted me with the question: 'Pray, sir, have you seen, my wife, pass by?' whereupon, I answered, 'Why, my good friend, I didn't know till this moment that you had a wife'." The company stared, and upon realizing that this was all there was to the poet's joke, burst into a roar of laughter, which Wordsworth smilingly accepted as an genuine compliment to the brilliancy of his wit. - Harper's Weekly. "Chauffeur," said Colonel Remsen Montague, "is an old provincial French word and was originally applied to robbers who went about the country entering farm houses and torturing farmers to tell them they had hidden their money. It was used as an derivative appellation by the French to the drivers of the first smoke wagons. The French also use it to designate a fireman or stoker, and in English, chemistry it denotes a small stove for melting metals. It is, entirely, out of place when used for the driver of a motor car, and he should be called a motorist or something like that."—Brooklyn, Eagle.

Travel, with its possibilities of culture and education, is now practicable for those of modest income as well as the fortunate few, by means of the Underwood Travel System. 1 This system is travel of the truest kind, yet it does not utilize either ship or railroad. Such a statement is so extraordinary as to seem first unbelievable, many have proved its truth. To experience the presence of famous objects, and places which inspire thoughts, and produce states of feeling enriching life and adding to happiness, is to travel truly. By making use of a simple scientific principle, and spending twenty years in its development, there secured the means of actually securing right in the paid home, where we experience and benefits which actual travel gives! Dr. James H. Ireasted, of Chicago University, says: "By this means the joys of travel are extended to that large class of people who thirst for an acquaintance when they are away from home, but are prevented by the expense involved, or by the responsibilities of home, business or profession."
