FLEET ENDS VOYAGE
Forty-Four Battleships Pass Golden Gate.
Hills and Islands Literally Packed With People to Accord Welcome. Big Guns Boom Salutes.
A special form San Francisco says: Never in the world's history has there been such a magnificent marine spectacle as that presented when the combined fleets—forty-four ships of war—led by the flagship Connecticut, with "Fighting Bob" Evans on the bridge, threaded their wya down the bay between the hills and islands, black with humanity, adding a mighty welcome to the ships and men.
All night long thousands slept on the open hills in military reservations and on the beach. Crowds began to pour into the city as soon as the ferries began to run, and the railroads brought train loads. Excursion boats gaily decorated steamed toward the Golden Gate early.
When the fleet arrived the entrance was a pandemonium and a riot of color.
Sirans shrieked, crews and thousands of passengers cheered and waved hats, flags and handkerchiefs.
Slowly the Connecticut made her way from the San Francisco lightship, the all-night anchorage of the fleet, to the Gate, the other warships falling in in single file. As the Connecticut neared Ft. Baker the 12-inch batteries at the Presidio boomed a twenty-one-gun salute.
The battleships swept majestically down the Gate, past the Presidio and Fort Point. As the Connecticut passed Angel Island she answered the salute. The ships of the Pacific fleet fell in line when the last vessel of the Atlantic fleet passed into the bay. At South, Angel Island the ships fell into squadron formation.
Awaiting warships on the gunboat Yorktown was Secretary Metcalf, and as the Connecticut sought her anchorage, she saluted the head of the navy, as did all the vessels. A moment afterward the steamer Harley, with Mayor Taylor and the reception committee board, drew alongside and San Francisco's formal welcome was extended to Admiral Evans in behalf of the fleet. Excelling all other signals in point of attraction was the huge "welcome" sign on Telegraph Hill, each letter larger than an ordinary house.
Sixteen-Year-Old Boy Tries to Exterminate Barber Crew.
A six-year-old boy, known only as Carmello, and employed in a barber shop in Brooklyn, N. Y., early Wednesday morning, cut the throats of his employer, Antonio Peraso, Mrs. Peraso and three barbers while they lay sleep in Peraso's apartment. The wounded of Peraso and his wife are believed to be mortal while those of the three barbers are serious, but not fatal. The boy escaped. The police have a theory that he was an agent of a black hand gang.
By Democrats of Ohio for Chief Executive of the State.
The Ohio state democratic convention in session at Columbus Wednesday nominated on the second ballot former United States Attorney General Judson Harmon of Cincinnati for governor. The opposing candidates were Atlee Pomerene; Congressman Sherwood and A. P. Sandles.
In the defeat of Pomerene, Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland lost out after a hard fight in behalf of his candidate.

office, restaurant, hotel, apartment

VOL. XXIII.
CUT THROATS OF FOUR.
JUDSON HARMON NAMED
The
ORDER SIGNED BY SPEER
n Complaint Filed Against Railroads by Georgia-Florida-Sawmill
Attorneys representing H. H. Tift and others forming the Georgia-Florida Sawmill Association filed complaint in the United States court at Macon Friday against the railroads of the Southeastern Tariff Association on account of alleged failure of the lines to make the returfs every three months of such collections of freight charges on lumber to Ohio river points and the west as come under the ruling in the famous Tift case in which a permanent injunction ordered by Judge Emory. Speer stopped the payment of an extra 2 cents per hundred pounds.
Judge Speer signed an order in the bill requiring the railway lines to show cause before him in Macon, on May 12, why they should not be called upon to pay over the $500,000 indemnity bond they made when the court agreed to allow the returns to be made and the shipments to continue under the tariff which was attacked by lumbermen. A large number of claims have been established by the lumber producers under the arrangements, but it is now a requirement upon the part of the railway lines that they make reports of what amounts they have received on the extra tariffs every three months.
FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN
Looking to the Erection of Embassy Buildings by Uncle Sam. The senate committee on appropriations Friday took the first step looking to the acquisition of property for the American embassy at Paris by inserting an advertisement in the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill appropriating $400,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building for the use of the embassy in that city.
An appropriation of $3,267, also, was made for the purchase of the residence of the Japanese secretary of the American embassy at Tokio, Japan. Still another addition to the bill made by the committee is that of $10,000 to pay the expenses of representatives of the joint high commission of 1998 for the settlement of questions relating to Canada. All told the committee increased the appropriation carried by the diplomatic bill to the to the extent of $463,642 over the amount carried by the bill as it passed the house, bringing the total up to $3,967,985.
LOST SIXTY-THREE THOUSAND.
Wells-Fargo Company Says That Amount Was Taken from Train.
The Wells-Fargo Express company has reported to the authorities of Torreon, Mexico, a loss of $63,000 in Mexican currency which, they claim, was taken from a through safe oil their City of Mexico train. The mcpoy was consigned to one of the banks of Chlhuahua.
It appears that one of the agents of the company boarded the express train at a station between the City of Mexico and Torrecn, afterwards leaving the train. It is said that he was the only man who was in the car who knew the combination of the safe. He is being searched for, but has not yet been apprehended.
LETTEN GIVEN SEVEN YEARD.
Embezzling Tax Office Clerk Found
Guilty by Jury in New Orleans.
Charles L. Letten, formerly chief
clerk in the office of the state tax
collector for the first district of New
Orleans, was Friday sentenced to
serve seven years in the penitentiary
after a jury had declared him guilty
of embezzling $100,000.
Letten disappeared last summer and
upon the discovery of the shortage in
his accounts a search for him was
begun. He was finally found on the
river front, where he had been attempt-
ing to summon up sufficient courage
to drown himself.
TO MAKE RATES UNIFORM
Atlanta Standard Telephone Company Raises Its Prices.
The Atlanta Telephone and Telegraph Company, has issued a letter to subscribers, raising the rates, in a great many instances, and states this is done because the railroad commission of Georgia has required the company to make all rates uniform.
The rate is to be for residence phones $3 a month, instead of $2, $2.50 and $3, as is now the case, and for business phones $4, instead of $3 and $4 as is now the case.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET: SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 9. 1908.
LOW TAX RETURNS
Made by Roads in Georgia to Comptroller General.
Central and Seaboard Air Line Show a Falling Off In Values of More
The annual tax returns of the Central of Georgia Railway company and the Seaboard Air Line Railway company, which reached the comptroller general of Georgia Monday, each show a falling off, as compared with the returns for 1907 of more than $2,000,000. It was expected that the tax returns of these large railroad systems would show some reductions this year, because of the slump in their earnings, and the prospect is, it is stated, that returns from the other large systems will show similar falling off.
The Ocean Steamship company of Savannah also shows a reduction of more than $150,000 in its returns, as compared with last year, despite the fact that it has added a new ship to its line.
The Central of Georgia returns its total property this year, physical and franchise, at $18,724,628, as against a total of $20,861,646 for 1907.
In addition to and not included, in the foregoing the Central returns $158,900 of income bonds of the Charleston and Western Carolina railroad, and $900,000 as its valuation of its 15,000 shares of the Western Railway of Alabama. These are returned separately because the Central disputes the right of the state to collect taxes upon this property.
The Seaboard Air Line returns this year a total of $10,300,928, as compared with $12,651,450 in 1907. These figures include both franchise and physical property, and as in the case of the Central of Georgia, the 1907 figures were fixed as the result of arbitration.
The Seaboard's franchise is returned this year $1,625,008, as against $2,138,106 for 1907, a reduction of more than $500,000.
The returns of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, as received by the comptroller general Monday, total $2,285,467, of which $232,050 is franchise.
Comptroller General Wright has not yet had time to inspect the foregoing returns, and it will probably be some days before he can make thorough examination of them.
INMAN & CO. BANKRUPT.
Receiver Appointed for Augusta Firm. Over Million Dollars Involved. The firm of Inman & Co., of Augusta; Ga., one of the best known cotton firms of the south and a prominent member of the New York cotton exchange, went into involuntary bankruptcy Monday. On the petition of King, Spalding & Little, representing the Gulf Compress company, J. C. Evansi and C. R. Sims, Thomas W. Barrett, Jr., cf Augusta, was appointed receiver by Referee, Percy H. Adams.
The firm which is a partnership and not a corporation, is composed of Jas. F. McGowan of Augusta and James R. Gray of Atlanta, they having acquired the other interests, which for several years past were represented in the firm. The debts and assets are said to exceed $1,250,000.
The firm of Inman & Co. of Augusta is in no way connected with the firm of Inman, Akers & Inman of Atlanta, Ga., which has branches in Liverpool and Bremen and which is connected with the firm of Inman, Nelms & Co. of Houston, Texas, and Inman, Swahn & Co. of New York. These firms are in no way affected by the suspension.
MORSE SURPRISES CREDITORS.
Alleged Bankrupt Steamship Promoter Settles Claims.
That Charles W. Morse, the former banker and steamship promoter of New York, is able to pay every dollar or his indebtedness resulting from the collapse of his business ventures in the October panic, was a statement made by his counsel, Anson McCook Beard. Mr. Beard said Morse's plans to settle all claims as rapidly as possible. He declared that when all indebtedness is settled Mr. Morse will have a substantial fortune of at least $2,000,000 left.
HOTEL HOLOGAUST
Score of People Lose Lives in Fire at Fort Wayne.
ENTRAPPED BY FLAMES
Blaze Starts in Big Hotel at Early Hour of Morning and Many of the Guests, Cut Off from Escape, Were Buried in Debris.
An unknown number of persons, estimated at from fifteen to twenty-five, lost their lives in a fire that destroyed the New Aveline hotel in Fort Wayne, Ind., early Sunday morning.
The entire interior of the building was left a smoldering heap of ruins and how-many dead are concealed by the debris can only be conjectured.
The hotel register was consumed by the fire, and there are no accurate means of determining who is missing.
The fire was discovered at 3:30 o'clock a.m. in the elevator shaft by Night Clerk Pipkins. He rushed to the upper floors alarming the guests until the flames, which had spread with appalling rapidity, drove him back. His effort, however, saved many lives. The hotel was erected half a century ago, and the woodwork was as dry as tinder. It burned like matchwood, and within a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered the whole interior of the hotel was a mass of flames that filled the corridors and rooms with suffocating clouds of smoke and laid fiery barriers across all means of escape, save by the windows.
The fire department rescued many by means of ladders, but some, frenzled by the onward rush of the flames, leaped from high windows to the paved street.
EXPECTS HIGHER FREIGHT RATE.
A Washington dispaten says: It appears likely that the anticipated increase, in railroad freight rates is about to be made. A few days ago a member of the interstate commerce commission expressed the opinion that within three or four months, unless a decided improvement in railway conditions should take place, it probably would be necessary for the carriers either to increase freight rates or to reduce the wages of their employees. Personally and officially the commissioner deprecated the taking of either horn of the dilemma by the railroads, but he believed it to be inevitable that one or the other would be taken.
Lawyers of the House Will Pass on Important Measure.
Three lawyers of the house were authorized Saturday $ ^{a} $ to make a final examination of the eight hour bill now pending before the house committee on labor to decide on the constitutionality of the bill.
The bill provides not only that all work for government shall be done under the eight hour system, but also that the government shall be able to purchase no materials and supplies which have been produced by labor that was required to put in more than eight hours a day.
HOUSE PASSES RELIEF BILL.
Storm Sufferers to Get $250,000 from the Government. The house, Saturday, passed a resolution introduced by Representative Bowers of Mississippi appropriating $250,000 for the relief of the sufferers from the cyclone which occurred in the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia on April 24.
Alleged They Were Imported in Violation of Labor Contract Law.
Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and labor has ordered deported as contract laborers fifteen glass workers brought to this country from Belgium.
The report in the matter, it is said, indicates that labor unions, whose members the alien contract labor law was intended to protect, have resorted to the importation of foreigners as a result of disagreements with rival unions.
MURDEROUS WIDOW
Lured Victims to, Doom by Promise of Matrimony — Finding of Bodies Reveals Heincus Crimes.
With five bodies already unearthed, Sheriff Smuttzer and Coronar Mack at La Porte, Ind., will continue their search for other alleged victims of Mrs. Belle Gunness, who, to all indications, was one of the most flendish murderers of the century, and who was recently killed with her three children through the burning of her country home, one mile northeast of LaPorte.
Of the bodies so far unearthed, two have been identified. They are those of Andrew Heldgren, a wealthy bachelor of Aberdeen, S. D., and Miss Jennie Olsen, 11 years old, stepdaughter of Mrs. Gunness. The other three bodies are so badly decomposed as to make identification impossible.
The discovery of the bodies was brought about by the appearance of John Heldgren of Aberdeen, S. D., a brother of Andrew Heldgren, in La Porte in search for the missing man. With information that his brother Andrew had come to La Porte to wed Mrs. Gunness, and that he had turned over his property to her, he became convinced that his brother had been made the victim of feul play.
While questioning Joseph Maxson, a hired hand on the Guinness farm, he learned of the mysterious digging of holes by him, all of them being filled up at a later date by Mrs. Guinness. He led Heldgren and the officers to the spot where the holes had been dug about 150 feet from the house, and there, after digging a few minutes, was uncovered the body of Heldgren. The remains were only four feet under ground, and were enclosed in a gunnysack. The legs and arms had been dismembered, but were buried with the trunk.
About thirty-five feet further on from the house the remains of four other persons were found. Lying on top of a mattress were the skeletons of two men and a woman. All the bodies were taken in charge by the coroner, and are now locked in a barn on the Guinness farm; being carefully guarded.
The discovery of the bodies led expressmen to tell of the delivery of five trunks to the Guinness' farm during the last six months, and this fact has caused the authorities to work on the theory that the place was a clearing house for murders. They suspect that wealthy persons, after being lured to Chicago, and killed, were packed in these trunks and sent to La Porte to be disposed, of.
THE CASE OF STEWART
May Be Subject of Searching Inquiry in the Senate.
A Washington dispatch says: The banishment by order of President Rosevelt of Colonel William P. Stewart of the army to For Grant, an abandoned military post in Arizona, in all probability, will be the subject of inquiry in the senate by Senator Rayner of Maryland. His interest in the case is on account of Mrs. Stewart, who is a niece of the late Senator William Pinkney White, and a great-granddaughter of William Pinkney, who was in the United States senate in the early part of the nineteenth century.
EVANS REJOINS FLEET.
Rear Admiral Boards Battleship Connecticut at Delmonte, Cal. The special train bringing Rear Admiral Evans from the Paso Robles hot springs arrived at the Menterey depot at Delmonte, Cal., Tuesday morning. After a brief delay the rear admiral was taken on board the flagship Connecticut, which immediately sailed to rejoin the fleet.

United States Supreme Court Passes
Upon Noted Georgia Murder Case
The supreme court of the United States, Monday, affirmed the verdict of the Georgia state court in the case of James S. Yeates, who was found guilty of murder. Yeates had two trials, the first resulting in a sentence of ten years imprisonment. He sought a new trial, and a verdict of murder in the first degree was brought in, the penalty for which is death. That is the verdict upon which the supreme court passed.

BURLESON OPPOSES
Appointment of Commission to Probe Cotton Exchanges.
WRITES HARVIE JORDAN
Texas Representative Says Remedial Legislation Must Come Through with Republican Supports
the Regular Channels—Roosevelt Withholds Report.
A Washington special says: Representative Burleson, of Texas, has sent the following letter to Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, in answer to a letter, asking the introduction of a joint resolution for the appointment of a commission to investigate cotton exchange methods during the summer recess of congress and to recommend remedial legislation.
"I do not believe that the president has any idea of making recommendations along the line upon which I think legislation should be had. The report from the bureau of corporations on the resolution written and introduced by me calling for an investigation of the cotton exchanges, with a view of ascertaining what effect the fluctuations in the market price are occasioned by the character of these contracts and deliveries made thereon, has not been sent to the house.
"I understand it is in the hands of the president, and that he is holding it for some purpose. On Saturday I had adopted a resolution introduced by me directing that said report be sent to the congress at once."
"Recently the secretary of commerce and labor gave out an interview, in which he stated that the president was not opposed to legitimate cotton exchanges, but was opposed to bucket-shops, etc. I, too, am opposed to bucket-shops, but the injury to the cotton producer coming from bucket-shop operations is nil compared with the great hurt which is done him by operations on the so-called legitimate cotton exchanges where future contracts for the delivery of cotton are dealt in.
"For the reason above set forth, I do not expect any substantial aid from the president towards the enactment of the legislation which I am proposing; in fact, I do not look for any recommendations to the congress by the president on this subject.
"I do not believe in the commission plan suggested in your letter. Even though President Roosavelt should submit to congress the report above referred to with recommendations based thereon, I believe the best chance for effective legislation must come through the ordinary channels. It is my purpose to press the bill I have introduced for the suppression of gambling in cotton, and I believe that ultimately I will succeed in passing it."
AMOSKEAG MILLS CURTAIL
Largest Cotton Manufacturers In the World Takes Off Two Days of Week
The seventeen mills of the Amoskeag Manufacturing company of Manchester, N. H., the largest cotton manufacturing company in the world; employing 13,000 hands, began a period of curtailment with the closing of work Thursday night, a change in the work-schedule restricting operations to four days a week. The reduction will continue indefinitely.
Two Men Find Easy Job In Landing Four Bags of Money.
Two men secreted on the New York St. Louis Express of the Pennsylvania system, which left Pittsburg at 9:55 Thursday night, entered the express car, overcome the express messenger and escaped with four sealed bags containing currency.

Governor Noel of Mississippi Explains Situation to President.
Governor Noel of Mississippi wired President Roosevelt that about 2,500 people at Hattiesburg and Purvis will need rations and tents for about thirty days. There are about 150 wounded in need of hospital attention at those places.

Items of State Interest Culled From Random Sources.
Secretary of State Philip Cook decided the boundary line dispute in favor of Laurens, and the line will remain as it was established in 1885. A short time ago Dodge county made complaint and asked for a new survey. Governor Terrell appointed C. C. Anderson of Bibb county to run the line. Mr. Anderson established the old line as laid out in 1885, but suggested a possible new line, and it was this latter that Dodge wanted established. Secretary Cook decided in favor of the old line of 1885, which, it was shown, had been legally established by competent authority.
Announcement is made at the department of agriculture that the syrups manufactured by Pentick & Ford of Columbus, Ga., which had been seized by the department for alleged violation of the pure food law, had been released, it having been found upon investigation that there was no violation of the law involved. Commissioner T. G. Hudson stated that this company had exhibited a desire by word and act to comply with the law, and the department had no complaint to make against it. Commissioner Hudson expressed the wish that all other syrup manufacturers would exhibit the same spirit as these in the matter of compliance with the law.

Rations for Stricken Georgia Towns. In view of the fact that there have been filed with the department of the gulf applications for rations for the cyclone sufferers at Stinson, Harris City, Cave Spring, Chipley and Griffin, the department telegraphed to Washington asking permission to issue these rations where needed and asked for. Other than in Georgia it is stated the cyclone sufferers are now well in hand and being cared for with federal aid, and this will soon be doing its work in this state.
To Bore for Oil in Terrell County. E. Belknap, a capitalist of Yonkers, N.

Law Was Not Violated.
Check Arrived Too Late.
As the result of the late arrival of his check at the office of Judge A. L. Miller, chairman of the state democratic executive committee, in Macon, R. H. Buchanan is out of the race for railroad commissioner.
Mr. Buchanan neglected to send his check to Judge Miller until Friday, the last day allowed candidates to qualify by paying their assessments. On that date Mr. Buchanan was in Commerce, and, finding that it was obligatory on him to pay his assessment, before midnight, malled a check to the office of the executive committee.
Seeing that his name was not on the official ballot, he wired Judge Miller, and received an answer during the day that his check had not reached his office before the expiration of the hour named by the executive committee, and that as a result he was out of the race.

HE. Ninetecenth Century and After, that most genial of British dictators, has expressed its opinions—more in sorrow than in anger—on the subject of the American Sunday newspaper. This amazing product of our civilization strikes the English critic with something akin to awe. Its vast bulk, the enuormous figures which represent its real or fictitious circulation; its wide grasp of material, from literary novelties like "The Wandering Jew," to the range at which Master Archie Roosevelt shot a rabbit; its determination to provide
entertainment for every grade of intelligence and senility; its advertisements, its illustrations, and the generous breadth with which it defines that pleasant word "society," are all equally bewildering to an alien. He pauses to speculate upon the "gifted prophetess," who for twenty-five cents "and upwards" provides "gypsy sympathy," fortune telling, palmistry and spirit communications." He is pleased and surprised to see that the seven royal children of an unpronounceable German principality are as dear to our hearts, and our press, as the lady who sings "Seven Lumps of Sugar, Sweetie," in advanced vaudeville, and whose portrait flanks that of the Germanic nurslings. He asks on what principle of selection this mass of heterogeneous rubbish is collected and distributed weekly.
Above all, the colored comic supplement of the Sunday newspaper is a stumbling-block to the critic's path. For whom, he wonders, and for whom, we wonder, too, can these pictures be intended? Do grown-up people trace the disastrous consequences of Sammy's Sneeze, or follow Faithful Fritz through his ever-repeated ducking and tumblings? Has American humor reverted to the simple anvestral type which regarded an accident of any kind as mirthful? Are the supplements designed for the exclusive refreshment of the feeble-minded, or as a blight upon the intelligence of youth? Or can it be possible that we are all, without knowing it, at the "Slovenly Peter" stage of mental development? These are questions which the Nineteenth Century lacks the spirit and intelligence to answer. It merely observes that "a family which has saturated itself with the Sunday newspaper is in no mood for church-going, nor for any serious occupation"—a statement too obvious for regard. A family "saturated" with the Sunday newspaper would probably be tottering on the verge of idiocy, but the American mind is not of a porous quality. It was the wise Marcus Aurelius who—tormented with the superfluities of Rome—advised his readers to save themselves by inattention from the knowledge of useless things.—From Life.

When all the summer buds to bloom are breaking.
To the dim land where sad-eyed ghosts walk only,
Where lips are cold, and waiting hearts are lonely’,

Fes HUNGRY <2 ISLAND.
only a’ small bit of greén amid .a
great stretch of water, and the name
“Hungry” was given by a party of
‘boys on account of a very unpleasant
experiénce they lad there a few
years. ago.
~The party consisted of four besides
mayseli—Joe Howard, Harry Perkins,
_ Tom Watson and George Blake, and
we started for a week's cruise from
home. It was on the evening of the
_ second day that we landed on the
island, thinking it a good place to
spend the night.
‘The island was very small, scarcely
more than a hundred yards in length
and half as much across and, except
for some stunted trees and a growth
of coarse grass, was rocky and un-
inviting. In one spot, however,
there was a small patch of level
ground where the grass grew more
thickly, and here we pitched our tent
after making, our sailboat fast to ’a
big rock and pulling her bow a little
way up on shore.
Afcer we had cooked and eaten our
supper, we lay around the fite for a
while and talked. But we were all
very tired, and soon rolled ourselves
-up in our blankets and went to sleep.
I awoke tery early the next morn-
ing with a feeling of chilliness and
numbness in my legs. It had been
raining steadily—a fine driving rain
that soaked everything as it fell. 1
quickly threw off my blankets and
shook the other fellows to awaken
tiem. e
“Why, it's raining!” exclaimed
‘Tom as he sat up, “and everything
in the boat'll be soaked if we don't
attend to it right away. Goodness,
but it’s blowing, too!”
In a couple of minutes Joe and
Harry had buttoned up their coats,
and with their hat& crowded down
_pver their ears, left the tent to look
jaser “the boat. The rest of us
straightened up the tent and were
then intending to provide dry wood
for the fire.
We had hardly commenced to’
roll up our’ blankets, however, when
" wé heard a cry from the direction of
the little cove in which we had left
our boat.
‘Tumbling over oue another in our
haste to find out what was the matter
we scrambled out of the tent and
raced toward the place. Half-way
there we were met by Joe and Harry.
“She's gone!” gasped both of them
together.
+ “Who's gone?” T asked.
+ “The boat; she’s not anywkere in
sight. The painter must have slipped
from the rock. The wind’s blowing
the water high up on shore and she’s
been floated off and driven down the
lake.”
The five of us stood looking at one
another in consternation. Here was
a predicament which we had not an-
ticipated,
“Well,” said Joe, breaking the
jettence at last, “there's no use df
Jstanding here doing nothing. We're
in for a stay now, and the best thing
‘ to do is to make ourselves as com-
fortable as possible and find how we
stand in the way of provisions.”
After an instant we started back
to camp, seeing the wisdom of what
he said.
‘Day was just beginning to dawn
as we reached the tent and dived be-
tween the canvas flaps to take ac-
count of the commissary department.
Evidently with the purpose of enhy-
ening us if possible, Harry called out
the articles in detail, as if he were
making an inventory of goods us he
did at home in his father’s store
twies a year, in January and July.
“One bag of Indian meal—bag
slightly’ damaged, meal damp; one
knuckle of ham weighing about,two
-pounds; one piece of dried beef.
ditto; one can of coffee—mostly
can; one tin of sugar—tin all right
but-sugar has lost itself in a corner;
six potatoes—iarge and of the sight-
less kind; six large, flat and very
* hard crackers—of superior quality;
" one sait-cellar — perforated top; one
pepper, ditto.” ve
‘We all laughed—we couldn’t help
it; but the laugh was a rather weak
one, and quickly subsided. Se
“That's all I can find!” said
Harry as he dropped the pepper-can.
“Now the rain has stopped we'll make
our plans.” ©
. We went out of the tent and sat
around in a forlorn gircle, and it
was only then that we discovered the
Yull extent of our predicament.
E-Some one suggested that a fire be
‘lighted and asked for a match after
truitlessly searching his own pockets.
Each one of us rummagea his clothes
| for the desired article, and with the
- same result. There was not a match
a fire. It was the last straw on our
Joad of ‘misery, but not a complaint
was made. Each’ felt utterly dis-
heartenéd, .
We realized, however, that the
blues would not mend matters and
we fell to discussing means for se-
curing ald or for getting safely off
the island. Each plan we suggested
presented unsurmountable difficul-
ties. 2
‘The island lay some three miles or
more from the nearest shore, and we
could not hope that any one would
see us from there. We had no means
of kindling 2 fire to produce smoke.
We had no tools for making a raft.
It looked very much, all agreed, as
though we were destined to stay
where we were until some one saw
us; and this ‘was but a slim chance
to cling to for, as we very well knew,
there was but little sailing done ex-
cent immediately along shore, or
some three miles further out where
the stéamers passed on their way
across the lake,
The first question then was, how
could we make our provisions last
us? A short ramble over the. island
the afternoon previous had shown us
that there was nothing there to tatch
—nothing eatable unless it was the
bark of the trees; we weye without
fishing-tackle or even a hook. All
our lines and’ supplies had been lett
with the bulk of our provisions in
‘the boat, as we bad expected then to
leave the island the following morn-
ing. By ‘putting ourselves on short
WHAT WRITERS SAY ABOUT WOMEN.
A Lot of Epigrams, Not All of Which, Are Compl
of AL a. i
WOMAN is more influenced by what she divines than by
A what she is told.—De Lenclos. .
A woman who is guided: by the head “and not by the
heart is a sociat pestilence-—Balzac. Z
Women of Spirit are not to be won by mourners.—Steele.
Man carves his destiny; woman is helped to hers.—Julia
Ward Howe.
To say “Every one is talking about him™ is a eulogy; but
to say “Every one is talking about her” Is an elegy.—Anonymous.
The pleasure of talking is the Inextinguishable passion of
women, taeval with the act of breathing.—Lesage. :
Women, like Bripresses, condemn to imprisonment and hard
labor nine-tenths of mankind.—Tolstoy. é
‘When a man does good work out of all proportion to shis pay,
in seven cases out of nine there 1s a woman at the back of the
virtue.—Kipling.
Women swallow at one mouthful the lie that flatters, and
driak drop by drop a truth that Is bitter.—Diderot.
There ate beautiful flowers that are scentless, and beautiful
women that are unlovable.—Hovelle.
Marriage is a lottery in which men stake their liberty and
Women their happiness.—Mme. de Ricus. 7
‘There are some very pretty women who don't understand thé
law of the road with regard to handsome faces. Nature and
custom agree in conceding to all males the right of at least twa,
_distinct looks at every comely female countenance, without any”
infraction of courtésy or the sentiment of respect.—Holmes:
‘A woman without a laugh in her is the greatest bore in
‘enistence.—Thackeray. :
‘There is nothing a man of good sense dreads in a wife so
much as her having more sense than himself_—Fielding.
Male firmness Is very often obstinacy. Women have always,
something better, worth all qualities. They have tact\—Lord
Beaconsfield.
Beauty is the first gift nature gives to woman, and the first
she takes from her.—Mere,
rations we calculated we could make
the provisions we had last for two
days, perhaps three; but this last was
a contingency painful to contemplate.
In pursuance of our pian then the
ham was carefully shaved from the
bone and about one-half of it eaten
for breakfast along with two of the
trackers. When we finished this
sumptuous repast we confessed that
we all felt about as hungry as ever.
After a while we went down on
the rocky coast ‘of the island which
faced the mainland, But the rain
shw out the shore from view, and af-
ter'-we had stuck up the tallest tree
we could hack down with our knives
between 2 couple of boulders .and
fastened a piece of tarpaulin to it
whicu we-chanced to have, we wearily
walked back to the tent. We had
small hope of our flag attracting at-
tention but it was something to
know that no chance was lost.
_ The fazce of a dinner only gave
us a quickened sense of our keen
hunger; and supper, which left us
with only the piece of dried beef and
‘three crackers remaining, was pre-
pared and eaten in five minutes.
From sheer weariness we fell asleep
within an hour alter that last im-
portant ceremony.
‘When 4 gnawing pain awakened
us in the morning we found that the
sky had cleared and that the wind
had changed, and now was blowing
briskly from the northwest, invigor-
ating as a tonic.
A third of the plece of beef and
two of the crackers were eaten and
we went down on the shore to see if
there was any boat in sight.
‘The mainland now could be plain-
ly seen, and sue or two white sails
close along shore showed in the sun.
But tay were nearly three miles
away anW evidently would not come
out toward the island.
i
| “Harry and Joe’agreed >» stay down
on shore for a while and keep a look:
out, George, Tom and I went back
to the tent. There we lay down on
the blankets and tried to forget our
hunger in sleep, But the effort was
useless, and we were glad when the
sun stood overhead and, we could
call the other fellows up from their
post to help eat half-pound of beet
and the one cracker which consil-
tuted the noon meal. As Tom brougit
these out he spitefully kicked aside
the potatoes and the can of coffee
whieh were useless to us for lack of
a fire, :
‘After each of us had swallowed
the morsel that was his share, Harry
somewhat languidly remarked: +
'?T wonder. what became of the
boat?”
“Oh, she drifted out on ,the lake
somevhere, I suppose,” said Joe fn
reply. “There was an eisterly breeze;
perhaps she’s near the Canada shore
now.””_
Tom, who had partl}" raised him-
self on pis elbow as Joe made this re-
mark about the boat, at this suddenly
came to a sitting position.
“Tye got-an idea!” he exclaimed.
“Why not,send offcsome small boats?
‘The wind’s northwest; -the Jake's no!
jrough. We cap make them out of
‘the driftwood on the beach; there's
lots of it there. Then they can be
rigged up with paper sails and a, mes-
sage, telling where we are, fastened
to each. We can send off a whole lot
of them. Some of them are pretty
sure to go ashore on the mainland,
and perkaps be rioticed and picked
up. It isn’t certain they will, I know,
but it’s worth trying and anything's
better than sitting idle”
The suggestion was a happy one.
Inf five minutes we were all down on
the beach with our pocketknives.out
making the chips fly. There were
plenty of bits of board there, and se-
lecting pieces over a foot long and
some six inches wide we rapldly
shaped them into the semblunce of
boats by sharpening one end.
Within an hour twenty of these
rougily fashioned crafts weré lying
on the beach. A number of newspa-
pers which we had brought ashore
the first nigat for kindling fires fur-
nished material for sails. Slender
sticks were split from a couple of ce-
dar shingles picked up on the shore
and fastened tightly in holes im the
board which were laboriously bored
with our knives. To these we secured
the paper sails, which we stiffened
with light splints of wood. The mes-
sages, ‘written on blank leaves torn
from a notebook Harry had with him,
were wrapped in greasy paper which
had covered the ham and pinned or
fastened to the boats. 7
‘Then we set afloat*our miniature
‘crafts and watched them dance over
‘the tiny swells toward the shore. Two
of the boats upset betore they had
gone fifty yards; three others had
their masts blown overboard by puifs
ot wind, but the rest-sailed bravely
on before the breeze, and by the time
we had manufactured and sent of
ten more of them, which used up our
supply of paper, the first lot was al-
most out of sight. Tom calculated
that as the masts had all been stepped
well forward and bits of thin hoard
used as rudders, the boats ought to
keep fairly before the wind, ard if
the breeze did not die out or increase
[so as to wreck them, they should
reach the shore by that night at the
latest. *
We strained our eyes to see how
the last of our fleet (of which only
two were lost near shore) were far-
ing, and Tom even climbed a tree
from which point of observation he
reported that all seemed going well
with the boats, and that the last of
the fiotillas had disappeared from
view entirely.
Then somowhat reluctantly we
went back to camp. There was noth-
ing to do now’ but wait and hope that
our plan would result in something
of benefit to us. But we talked a
great deal about Jy that evening, and
guessed innumerable times how many
boats would safely reach land. None
of us permitted himself to thjnk that
all of the boats would "hefwrecked
and fail in thelr mission.
Early the next morning we were
up and down fo the’ shore. But no
sail was ip Sight. We watched ex
pectantly alt“tHe morning, our hopes
growing less and.less. We were too
weak from hunger to leave the shore,
for the last,of“our provisions had dis-
appeared at dinner on the previous
day. ' a
About thé middle of the afternoon
Harsy, wha had wearily climbed a
tree, uttered 4 weak shout: “Here
comes a boat!"
‘We all looked ‘in the direction be
pointed, and there coming down on
the island from the east were- the
salls of a skiff, s ai
‘With one accord we yelled and
swung our hats and tried to show our
Joy, but it was a pitiful éxhibition"we
gave. .
Half an horr afterward the keel:0f
the skiff grated upon thé rocks and
two men. jumped ashore. We fairly
hugged them in the eagerness of our
welcome. There were some crackers
and cheese on board and the way we
fell upon these was appalling. Tien’
after our tents.and blankets had beén
put on board, the skiff was pushed off
and we started for the malnland. . ,
On the way the men told us that at
least two of the little boats we had
sent off had-come ashore and been
picked up ‘nd the messages read,
though they-were badly blurred by
water, At first it had been thought
that the whole thing was a joke, but
‘hfterward it was decided to see what
it meant anyhow, and the two men
who had come for us had agreed to
make the trip. i
Our skiff had not been seen and
we never learned what became of her.
But none of us ever forgot our expe-
rignce on the island, and to this da}
there stands on Joe Howard's book-
case one of the little fleet which was
the means of rescuing us from a dan-
gerous situaflon—Our Juniors.
3 THERICHMAN
: AND HIS GENIE §
© seceseacooospeccucceoess
There was a man who, in addition
to being quite rich, had a Genie
among his personal attendants. ‘This
Gente had signed 2 contract to keep
‘the man contented. it was a Supers
natural being, or It would not have
‘undertaken such a task; as it was, it
frequently wondered it it hadn't bi>
‘ten offmore than it could chew. The
‘man’s lot in life was a corner one,
‘but he was constantly running up
against the corner. .
| “I want to see Paradise,” he said
to the Genie. “When I have seen
Paradise, 1 shall be satisfied. ‘And,
}as all imen are content in the srave,
it will be no feather in your cap to
let me die to attain my wish.”
The Genie, therefore, took the man
and showed him Paradise. It did
this with misgivings;which were jus-
tifled by the sequel. The man, upon
his return, was more dissatisfied than
ever, He had lost what little appre-
cation be had ever had for,the Good
Red Earth, He also became more or
less 6£ a nuisance to his neighbors.
He contracted the complaint known
as “travelers’ tongue"—talked con-
tinually of where he had been; drew
comparisons of the public buildings.
nfavprable to his home town, and
enlarged upon the superiority of the
street paving over there. °
"Phe Genle corked itself up in a bot-
tle and took stock.
“This fellow,” it reflected, “is mak-
Ing Paradise out to be better than it
really is, I did not think its glories
could be exaggerated, but reckoned
without my employer, and wist not
of the power of retrospective imagin-
ation. “Of a verity I must take steps.”
So it took the man and showed him
hades, It left him there some Sittle
time, to give the evfronment a chance
to environ. When the man got back
he was very quiet for about three
days, Although the weather was cold
he seemed to enjoy it, and when he
stepped on a match he nearly had a
convulsion. On tho fourtir day he
chippered up, and in a week the Ge-
nie heard him talking to a friend ta
‘a fondly reminiscent strain.
“It was delightfully warm dows
there,” he was saying, “and there
was an agreeable absence’ of mud.
And there was one imp, {n(Room 29,
that I got to be quite chuthmy with,
and who was 4 most companionable
fellow. Poor old Flib! Do’ you
now, I'd really like to see him
again?” i"
‘After this, the Genie realized that
It was up against the Hopeless. It
handed in its resignation, to take ef-
fect at once, and took a farewell slide
‘through the outer keyhole—Puck.

THE CORRECT COMPOUNDING OF FERTILIZERS.
Superphosphate
Lime
Thomas Phosphate
Sulphate of Ammonia
Farm Manure and Guano
Potash Salts
Kainit
Nitrate of Soda
We have seen many loads of stable manure on the way to the orchard sprinkled with lime, and also many a compost rich in manure covered with quicklime. One often hears of other combinations of material intended to be of the highest quality as a fertilizer, which separate or alone would be, but together are of little value. The following brief article and diagram are taken from a recent copy of the Agricultural Gazette, of New South Wales:
When purchasing a manure always insist on a guarantee of its composition as determined by analysis.
Artificial manures should be mixed with about three times their weight of dry loam, and distributed evenly.
Never add lime to a manure containing sulphate of ammonia, or blood and bone manures, as in these cases loss of nitrogen results; and when lime has been applied to the land do not use such manures until about three weeks afterward.
The accompanying fertilizer diagram; which represents in a graphic manner the points to be taken into consideration in the mixing of different manures, is reproduced in the hope that it will be found useful to farmers who make up their own mixtures. The diagram originates with Dr. Geekens, Alzey, Germany, and is taken from an article by Mr. Leo Buring, in the Garden and Field of October, 1903. Substances connected by thick line must not be mixed together. Substances connected by double line must only be mixed immediately before use. Substances connected by single thin line may be mixed together at any time.—G. G. A., in The Country Gentleman.
After you have been in the house a long time, shut up away from the fresh air, you feel the chilling winds. Same way with the cows. Keep them in as far as you can on these raw days.
Ripening Cream.
If you have a small amount of cream, do not skim so closely and add some milk. Put in a little starter and warm it by putting the cream can in warm water, constantly stirring until the proper temperature is obtained, when it will quickly ripen.
A Wood-Lot Don't.
Don't allow the stock in the wood-lot for they will be sure to trample down or crush a great many seedlings. that have the makings of a good tree in them. They not only trample them down but, if they are hungry, they will browse upon them as well—New York Witness.
Solder the Pails.
Milk pails with rags drawn in through holes in the bottom are a miserable nuisance. You can get a little kit of soldering tools very cheap, and if it is not much of a trick to learn how to use it. Scrape away the metal around the hole, drop a bit of resin over the place, or a little sulphuric acid, and then go ahead with your solder. Make a nice, smooth job of it.
Let all pails, pans and receptacles for milk and cream be rinsed with cold water as soon as the contents are removed, says the Farmers' Guide. This prevents all gummy accumulation, especially if they must be set aside for a time to await washing. Then wash in lukewarm water, using a brush for seams and the wire strainer. Finish with scalding water, rinsing thoroughly. If the churn used is of the barrel variety, give a few revolutions, filled with the hot water.
Do not neglect to be very careful in cleansing the separator if one is used: Because the milk "only passes through 'it,'" is no reason why it should be set aside with a "lick and a promise."—Rural Life.

Guinea Towls.
In many localities the guinea hen is considered as a kind of a novelty or nuisance about the place. It does not seem to be thoroughly well understood that the eggs of the guinea hen are highly valued by bakers for cake baking, and that the young guinea fowl will bring the highest price of any broiler upon the market. If more attention were given to the selection of the breeding stock, preventing too clqse inbreeding and providing a separate house away from the chickens for the guinea fowls, their cultivation might become more general and profitable. Guinea hens may be taught to live and year their young almost the same as chicken hens. The trouble experienced from keeping guinea fowls in buildings or poultry houses is the overpowering influence of mites and lice upon them. They are much more easily destroyed by lice and mites than the chickens. The young of the guinea hen scarcely exist at all when once attacked by lice or mites, which quickly destroy them.
Guinea hens live out in the open, build their nests under an old stump. When once they locate their nest and
of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success.
That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

lay a few eggs therein, they continually remain about this locality, and it is not difficult for this reason to locate their nests and take from them part of the eggs. These eggs may be placed under chicken hens or the guinea hens themselves. When either of these are permitted to hatch the, young guineas, it is well to confine the mother and young as the young are hatched and keep them near at hand where they can be looked after and properly fed and cared for for a short time until the young guineas become of a size that enables them to follow the mother about and withstand the strain of traveling so far in a day.
In some localities the merchants will not purchase guinea eggs, but if those who have them for sale would carry them to the bakeshops, the bakers, as soon as they know of their value, are very glad to secure them, for they can be used to a better advantage in cake-baking than any other, excepting duck eggs. Duck eggs are the most valued in the bakeshoy, guinea eggs being a close second.
Guinea hens, like turkeys, are of a roving nature; guinea chicks, like the young poults, are easily destroyed by diapness and inbreeding. — The Feather.

The Cornell station, after experimenting for several years, found that potatoes dug the last week of September or the first two of October will keep much better than those dug when the vines die. The only objection to this method is the possibility of the insects and grubs in the ground destroying the tubers if they are left in the ground too long.—Rural Life.

Slight Defects of Vision Often Cause of Much Suffering. Basing himself on his records of nearly 1,300 eye examinations, Dr. S. W. S. Tons claims that 90 per cent, of all those suffering from reflex or neuralgic headache have ocular defects. Over 600 of the patients examined were altogether unaware of their defect. Fully half the cases were of only slight refractive errors or muscular unbalance, and it is in these cases in which ciliary spasm is the direct factor in causing headache in persons whose occupation calls for near vision that accommodative asthenopia results.
There is no apparent relation between the severity of the headache and the degree of the ocular defect, and nothing especially characteristic, except perhaps the patient's non-suspicion of the cause. Sickness or health impairment may be the first inciting factor in some patient with considerable ocular defects which gave no trouble before.—From the Family Doctor.

Suspected of Early Frivolity.
A young Harvard man, through family influence, obtained a position as confidential clerk in the office of a well-known railroad president. The first morning he got down to the office at 9 o'clock. He found the president hard at work.
On the second morning he presented himself at $3.00 o'clock. Again he found his chief there ahead of him, working diligently. The third day he managed to make the office at $9 o'clock. There was the president, already buried in business.
That night on his way home the young man took counsel with himself and determined to be ahead of his boss at any cost. Accordingly he set his alarm clock for 630, and by great exercise of will power managed to show up at the office before 7.30 o'clock. But there was his chief working away as if he had not left his desk at all.
As the clerk entered the president looked up at him with a quizzical afr. "Young man," said he, "what use do you make of your forenoons?"—Philadelphia Ledger.

FRIENDS HELP St. Paul Park Incident.
"After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down.
"At other-times I had severe headaches; stomach, finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum.
"Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured." Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum.
"So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have disappeared. I am well and happy." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

America's bravest woman, in the opinion of the Society of the American Cross of Honor, is Ida Lewis Wilson, keeper of the Lime Rock lighthouse, off Newport, R. I. "Mistress Wilson," as the sailors call her, is declared by the society to have "rendered greater service tending toward the saving of life than any other woman of the country." The society has therefore awarded her a cross of honor. Mrs. Wilson is better known as Ida Lewis, who years ago gained a world-wide celebrity through her many heroic rescues of drowning persons.—Leslie's Weekly.
A New Fad.
A Frenchman has introduced to us—who else would have the audacity?—the most unusual feature, in the new season's designs, the unattached collar.
While matching the suit in material and trimming, this collar—which is put on before the coat itself—is an entirely distinct and separate affair. Nothing could be more delightfully convenient, for it may be worn or not, according to the whim of the moment or the condition of the weather.
Yet, though to this Frenchman the world attributes this distinctly clever iden, it was an American woman who originated it—who had it executed for herself by a master artist.

A Model School House.
Under the supervision of Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, who is in charge of the reading course for farmers' wives of the State Agricultural College, Cornell University, has erected on its campus a model rural school
house. The essential feature of this school house is a workroom which occupies one-third of the floor space. The purpose in building this school house is to show that such buildings may be made artistically attractive, homelike, sanitary, comfortable and durable for the same amount of money and labor as the unattractive and unsatisfactory buildings to which so many rural districts have been accustomed. The Cornell model is designed for twenty-five pupils in the main room, and the folding doors and windows in the partition enable one teacher to manage both rooms.—New York Sun.

English Girls and Love
The American professor who has undertaken to give lessons in the art of courtship at a high school would find ample scope for his abilities in that direction in London, for the English girl of the present day is generally speaking either unable or unwilling to conjugate the verb to love. It is her lot to live in a prosic age, nothing is done to stimulate romance, youthful marriages are a thing of the past, and youngsters of both sexes are aware that what was "love in a cottage" yesterday is equivalent to life in a suburban villa to-day—a very different thing—like to wait until they have had a good look around and have assured themselves that they are not being carried away by sentiment before they range themselves.
Old-fashioned lovemaking has become too dangerous to be indulged in, and flirtation of a not too pronounced nature has taken its place. To such an extent has the act of making love declined that it is doubtful whether the British bread and butter miss knows the A B C of the science once taught by Aristotle. Prudence has banished it from mater-families' program, and if the American professor aforesaid should extend his labors as far as the Old World he is likely to find a virgin soil wherein to teach an art as old as the hills, but one which is in danger of extinction for want of practice.—New York Sun.
Tried in the Fire.
When Mrs. Harmon swept into the library in a new reception gown, Mr. Harmon drew an inaudible sigh, and braided himself for the ordeal which he knew was before him.
"Now, Frederick," said his wife, in her most appealing tone, "please tell me exactly what you think of this gown."
"It's a beauty," said Mr. Harmon, with what he hoped would be a convincing note of finality in his voice, "a perfect beauty I should call it."
"O, Frederick, that is what you always say, no matter how my things look, or what they are, just because you're in a hurry to get back to your reading. Now look carefully, while I turn. See what you think of the back. I have a reason for asking you."
"Um-m—is there something a little queer about the back?" ventured the critic.
"Where?" demanded his wife.
"Oh, along-in the middle, there."
"Do you mean the middle across or the middle up and down, Frederick?"
"Both," said Mr. Harmon, miserably.
"There seems a sort of bulge in it. But perhaps it's meant to be just that way; probably it is."
"Put your hand on the place you mean, Frederick, please."
Mr. Harmon did so gingerly, while his wife sgrewed her neck round and endeavored to locate the offending
"I can't see, and there isn't a handglass down here," she said, impatiently. "Put your fingers on harder, Frederick. Oh, that! Why, that's the rosette, and it has probably come unhooked. You hook it, dear, and see if it isn't all-right."
"It's fine, now," said Mr. Harmon, standing off, after a sharp struggle with the recalcitrant hook and eye. "Turn round again. Yes, you're all right now. You can call that a perfect success, that gown, my dear."
"Frederick, don't take up your book yet. I want you to tell me how you like the yoke in front. The yoke is the upper part of the waist, Frederick, not down on the skirt, where you're looking."
"It seems all right," said Mr. Harmon, hesitating, after a cautious glance at his wife.
"Do you think less trimming.would be better? Or that the little pleated ruffle ought to go in a point instead of that circular way?"
Mr. Harmon pursed his lips.
"Would you like it better without
the ruffle. Frederick? Please be
frank. You're the only one I can
depend on for honest criticism. Is it
too youthful for me?"
It was a crucial moment, and Mr.
"The yoke looks all right enough to me," he said, carelessly. "I should say you could bear that rattle and the trimming, too, without being overloaded. But when you ask me if it's too youthful — why, I should have said—"
"Frederick," and Mrs. Harmon advanced upon him with joy as he made his dramatic pause, "you are a perfect dear! I knew you'd see it. I told them at the shop it looked suitable for a woman of fifty, and I'm not anywhere near that yet. They insisted that it didn't."
Mr. Harmon lifted his eyebrows. "I know, that's just the way a man would feel about it, but we women are so easily persuaded. But I shall send it back to-morrow, with a note, saying my husband considers it altogether too old for me!" and with her head held high, Mrs. Harmon swept from the room.
"Whew!" said Mr. Harmon, as he dropped into his chair. "That was a narrow escape!"—Youth's Companion.
Brown is one of the colors this season.
Silver and gold trim many of the new gowns somewhere and somehow.
There is very little sleeve seen anywhere, especially in evening dresses.
The colors most employed are blues, delicate reds and browns fading into buff.
American women have reached such perfection in dress that they will perhaps never adopt the long skirt for the street again.
Madame or Mademoiselle may be as loose and bulky as she wills in corsage or blouse, but the skirt, to be fashionable, must be tight.
Heavy linens and mohairs make ideal dust coats, which are nowadays simply made and provided with high collars that may be buttoned closely about the throat if desired.
The surplice effect has made its way even into the realm of the tailor-made, and many of the handsome suits for spring suggest this feature.
A smart suit among the light colored ones is of blue and white half-inch striped worsted trimmed with half-inch check of the same color and material.
Colored linens take precedence this year over white, though one can scarcely imagine a wardrobe that does not contain a few all white frocks.
With the new colors the silver is very pretty. Dull, gold or rust, was the thing for gowns, but people soon tired of the morbid shade known as "rouille" or mildew.
THE PULPIT.
A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY
DR. T CALVIN M'CLELLAND.
Theme: The Divinity of Christ.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Dr. T. Calvin McClelland, pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, Seventh avenue and St. John's place, preached Sunday morning on "The Divinity of Christ: One Way in Which a Man May Come to Bellevue in It." The text was John 1:14: "The word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten from a Father, full of grace and truth." Dr. McClelland said:
My theme is "The Divinity of One: Way in Which a Man May Come to Believe in It." What do we mean by the divinity of Christ? I would not be theological or metaphysical; this is a sermon for practical men, for men who want to believe in this fundamental truth of our religion. Do we mean by calling Jesusdivine that He is God; that is, all of God? We could not mean that, for Jesus Himself said, "My Father is greater than I." Jesus stands for God, speaks for God, acts for God, His ideas are God's. His feelings are God's so much so that Jesus and God are one: we see nothing in Jesus but God. For all practical purposes for religion Jesus is God; for us He has the spiritual value of God. He is God. And yet in reality Jesus is not God; though He can say in a very true sense, "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father." He also says, "The Father is greater than I." Does not the apostle exactly express it when he writes, "The word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory," not the Father's glory, mark you, "but glory as of an only begotten of the Father, full of, not" the Father's omnipresence, omnipotence and omniscience, but full of the Father's "grace and truth." And so, though theologically Jesus is not all of God, yet practically I know that when I fall on my knees before Jesus and say, "My Lord and my God," I am giving Him His true name.
Do we mean by calling Jesus divine than He was something other than man, a foreigner from some alien life to the country of human nature? Were we tempted to think that, the sight of Him praying with plain men, "Our Father," would bring us to our senses. We cannot think of Jesus as unhuman when we hear Him say to plain men, "Follow Me," which means, "You can do what I do, you can be what I am." Would you translate the term "a human being" into Jesus' language, you could find no better term than His favorite name for Himself, "Son of Man." In so calling Himself Jesus meant that we should know that He was blood of our blood, spirit of our spirit. He was like us not in middle life only, but in infancy, in death and after death. Jesus' divinity makes Him not different in kind, only different in degree; He is man, but more man than we. The likeness of Jesus to us is patient, but it is the difference we need to realize the likeness without the difference meaningless and useless. If He were just man, what gain? The world is full of men. It is His difference from us that counts. It is the difference from us that makes it impossible for us to call Him Jesus the Great, which makes Him Jesus the Only, Charles Lamb once said, If Shakespeare was to come to this room, we should all rise up to meet him; but if that Person was to come into it, we should fall down and try to kiss the hem of His garment. It is the difference between Jesus and us which makes us feel unworthy to put our lips to the fringe of His cloak. It is the difference which makes us call Jesus divine in a way in which we can use the word in reference to no one else.
And now what is that difference, what is this divinity of Jesus? Just this, that whatever Jesus said or did, He left on men the impression of God; like a telescope at or through which we cannot look without thinking of the heavens. Jesus always brought God near. Always in Jesus' presence there is this unavoidable feeling of God. When He spoke, conscience heard in His voice the tones of its infinite author; when He looked at one, the soul felt its eternal judge searching its innermost secrets; when He acted, one knew that it was as the great God would act; when He died, men felt that they had seen all of God that human hearts could apprehend; henceforth they knew that there was nothing in God a human mind could grasp but Christ. For all purposes of living Jesus is all we know of God; in Him the soul meets God, God meets the soul.
Now how can a man come to believe that? Believe not that Jesus is the Absolute God, breaking for the first time into a world from which up to this time He had existed apart in the inscrutable solitudes of infinity; believe not that Jesus is some unhuman wedge driven into natural human life; but believe that in Jesus the unseen God looks out upon us, the moral character of the Deity becomes flesh, and in that flesh is seen to be grace and truth.
How can a man believe that? You will not think as I point out this way that it is the only way in which one can come to believe that Jesus is the image of the invisible God; I give it to you as only one practical way in which men built as I am may come to kneel at the manger and say: "Here was born my Lord and my God."
First, then, the man who would believe in the divinity of our Lord will bring his reason to the study of the Gospel. He will want to know if the record is the story of a real life. Here, as I have intimated, reason is satisfied. Tested by the laws of evidence the Gospels are known to be a genuine record, and the facts they account for are the best attested facts in history. He can begin immediately with the Christ Himself. Putting the sayings and doings together, we get some idea of Jesus' character. And the first thing that strikes you is His absolute stainlessness; He did no sin; the narrative does not say this—it goes without the saying; His life was lived in the open, but the spoiling world left no spot on Him; He spent His time among the moral lepers, but no contagion fastened on Him; brotherhood with the sinfulest He claimed
except in this, their sense of guilt; He, in the presence of whom others cried, "Depart from me, for I am guilty," had no confession for Himself. Saints among men tell how they toil through repentance into sanctity; but here is One who looked into the face of the Almighty with no remorse under the shadow of that end where men most feel a shrinking from an inevitable sitting. He spake. "I have finished the work Thou gavest Me to do." His case is without parallel. This sinlessness separates Him not only from the sinner, but also from the saint: He stands alone.
But you have seen the least when you have found out He did no wrong; He always-did the right. Every word and act outruns conscience; He made a new character. The first element was humility; the word was not new in His time, the Greeks had, an equivalent for it meaning "coward;" Jesus made the base-born word the keyword of Christian character. If ever there was a world-lord it was He, and yet He was among men as one that scriveth. And since then service has been reckoned the crowning grace of character, and men have stretched out their lame hands to seize and wear it. Another element of Jesus' character was love; this, too, He created; not that none had loved till Jesus came, but none had loved all the time, under all circumstances, all men. With Jesus love was laying down one's life in the way God gives the sun and rain, without stint, without partiality, for good and bad. This was a new idea, and since Jesus lived His idea has been the standard measure of love; anything less than that which measures up to a cross is not love.
Another element in Jesus' character was forgiveness. This virtue was not unknown; but they who practiced it aforetime did it under no sense of necessity. It was a work of supero-
gation. A man was not bound to forgive; did he, he had a lien on the gods. Jesus said a man was bound to forgive, only so could he know God; and there rises before us the vision of One whose countenance was marred more than any man's, who was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and while they butchered Him; He prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." In this sort of character, you have something that stands by itself. No other character is the match for it. The man who wears it is in a class by Himself. What shall we do with this Jesus? With Alexander the Great and Napoleon the Great, with Shakespeare and Michael Angelo; somehow our sense of fitness rebels; we cannot bring ourselves to call Him Jesus the Great; He is simply Jesus. Where did He come from? Somehow we find ourselves looking past Joseph, over Mary's head, into the heavens. Ordinary fatherhood and motherhood never before or since brought forth this kind of life; here is a glory, not like Alexander's, or Napoleon's, or Shakespeare's, or Michael Angelo's, it is not like the glory of all these rolled into one, it is another kind of glory, a still greater glory; it is a glory as an only begotten of the divine; that fits the case; He is the Son of God.
But we must go on, we are carried farther. It is like this: Here is an organ. Someone tells me that there is in this chest wonderful harmonies. I go up to it. I examine its mechanism. I see that it is an organ; I read the name-plate on the console and get this guarantee of its possibilities. I go inside the case and look into the great tubes and horns, of wood and metal and I agree that it is good for all that is claimed for it. There may be unguessed harmonies in this mass of mechanism; there may be voices of thunder, moanings like those of the great deep, melodies like those birds sing at twilight. I allow that there may be all these things in this organ. But, suddenly some one touches the keys, and the great thing springs into life; it sings itself and me away. I hear in 'it the voices of the wind, the murmurings of the little rivers, the distant calls of the gathering clouds. The great chords run together, they rise and fall in waves of melody, they tremble away into whisperings of peace. The music has found me; the organ has touched my feelings; I know beyond the remotest shadow of doubt that this chest of pipes is what it claims to be.
You, too, have been using your eyes, your reason is the eye of your soul, but your soul has an ear, and while you were watching Jesus, studying Him to find out if indeed He is divine, did your ear hear nothing, were there no voices from that Life which caught your spirit and led it to lean out of the window encaptured with sounds that were heavenly, song immortal? What do I mean? That the divinity of Jesus is more than a fact for the intellect, it is a force for the conscience. Study Jesus and you find Him studying you; read the Gospels, and you discover that your soul is being read. Other men speak and you are interested. Jesus speaks and conscience takes notice. The great among men make you think of things. Cromwell makes you think of power, Raphael of beautiful lights, Mendelssohn of beautiful sounds and pauses, but Jesus—the very name is a challenge. Are you your better self of your worse self? You cannot get away from the challenge; a Life has clinched with you.
The eye sees the organ and allows it is fit to make music; the ear hears the music and allows that it is an organ. The reason appraises the Man of the Gospel and says, "If this Man were not of God He could do nothing," the spirit kneels and whispers, "My Lord and my God." The total manhood agrees, "The word was made flesh, and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory; glory as of an only begotten of a Father, full of grace and truth." After all, brothers, we do all believe in the divinity of Christ, do we not? It is not that we all have the same words with which to describe it; there are still creeds and creeds; but as under the fugue on the organ's flutes there throbts the undertone of the sixteen foot pedal diapason, so beneath the detail of Unitarian and Trinitarian, understoring the intricacies of new theology and old theology, throbts for the ear that will listen for it, the deep consenting faith in the divine Christ, "God was in Christ."

BUYING PAINT BLINDLY.
Many people look upon paint buying as a lottery and so it is, the way they do it. It is not necessarily so, however. Pure White Lead and linseed oil are the essential elements of good paint. Adulterants in white lead can be easily found by the use of a blowpipe. Adulterations in linseed oil can be detected with a fair degree of certainty. See that these two elements are pure and properly put on and the paint will stay put. National Lead Company, Woodbridge Building, New York City, will send a blowpipe outfit and instructions for testing both white lead and linseed oil, on request.

NATURE AND A WOMAN'S WORK
Nature and a woman's work combined have produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that baffle the most skilled physicians who have spent years in the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now recognized as the standard remedy for woman's ills:
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St. Louisiana, Mo., writes: "Complete restoration to health means no much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public.

FIFTEEN YEARS OF SUFFERING
Burning, Painful Sores on Legs—Tortured Day and Night—Tried Many Remedies to No Avail—Used Cicutica; Is Well Again.
"After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my husband's legs, below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomfort and great suffering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cicutica Soap, Cicutica Ointment, and Cicutica Resolvent. He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were dried up. The burning fire stopped, and the pain became bearable. After three months he was quite well. I can prove this testimonial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albeit, Upper Frenchville, Me., July 21, 1907."

No tongue can tell what I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women."

To the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Members of Subordinate Louges—Greeting:

the rules and regulations of the grand lodge, you are hereby fraternally notified that the grand lodge will convene in its 38th annual session, June 9, at 9 a. m., 1908, A. L. 5908, at Americus, Ga.

The above taxes to be forwarded to Brother Sol C. Johnson not later than May 1st.
Fourth—All subordinate lodges are required to make their regular annual reports under penalties prescribed by the constitution.

Delegates and visitors can secure board during the grand session at $1 a day. Ninth—All lodges working under dispensation that have paid part on their warrant will be expected to settle in full at this session and receive the warrants.
Tenth—All lodges that have not complied with the law requiring 50 cents per annum for each master Mason reported at the last session of the grand lodge for the orphans' home are hereby ordered to send it in at once to Brother W. H. Spencer, No. 514 Fourth avenue, Columbus, Ga., as per law, from their treasuries.
Eleventh—All lodges that have paid part of said assessment are requested to settle balance. The lodges that have not been represented and have not paid their grand lodge taxes and assessments as per law for the Masonic Home, for orphans of worthy deceased master Masons, must settle up at this session or how cause why their charters should not be arrested.
Twelfth—Arrangements are being made with the Southeastern Passenger Association for reduction of rates for the delegates.
Thirteenth—Delegates will please learn from their railroad agents all particulars relative to rates, change of cars, etc., before purchasing, their tickets that no mistakes may be made.

The seal of the lodge is then put on them. No changes or erasing are allowed after said papers leave the lodge. Any one making such changes shall be suspended.
Eighteenth—Delegates on returning to their lodges must report the proceedings of the grand lodge to the lodges they have represented at the next regular communication of said lodge and turn over to the lodge all receipts for money sent to the grand lodge; these receipts to be read to the lodge and pasted on the minute book.

Nineteenth—All masters and secretaries or other lodge officers who have sent money to this office, the grand secretary or Brother W. H. Spencer, since the last grand lodge session will please bring their receipts from each of us and from the postoffice money order department. This will greatly help the finance committee in settling disputes about officers claiming to have sent money to these departments.
Twentieth-All master Masons who desire to take the Scottish rite degree, inclusive to the thirty-second degree, can receive the same if they come to the grand session prepared financially and are found worthy. Our brother, J. H. Walker, Jr., G. W., of Macon, Ga., will be glad to furnish information on that line. Twenty-first-Let every lodge in the judisdiction strive to excel the other in having the best and most complete report
Twenty-second—Let every representative see to it that his lodge is in good standing in the Masonic Relief Association, and all the other departments. Send no money by other delegates if your lodge is not able to send a delegate; but send the money direct to the officers to whose department it belongs, or to the grand master not later than June 5th, at Atlanta, after that date to him at Americus, Ga., not later than June 9th.
Twenty-third—All delegates must inquire at their respective staffing points from the ticket agents as to the kind of tickets to purchase, the fare, etc. We make this request because it will be April 20th, before we will have a hearing from the roads and cannot hold our call back longer.

FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND
At "Slaughter House" of the Widow Guinness, Near LaPorte.
A dispatch from LaPorte, Ind., says: The Guinness farm mystery which was deepened Wednesday when four additional bodies were found in the barnyard by detectives. Evidence that the nine dismembered corpses had been shipped to LaPorte, probably from Chicago, came to light, the testimony of draymen who had carted trunks and boxes to the Guinness home bearing this out.
In addition the local authorities received information that two trunks consigned to "Mrs. Belle Guinness, LaPorte, Ind." were being held in an express office in Chicago, and the assistance of the Chicago police in unraveling the puzzle was sought at once.
One of the bodies in the second channel pit discovered Wednesday is believed to be that of a woman. Of the nine cadavers, seven, therefore, are those of males. The best clew which has yet been found came to light immediately following the discovery of the last three bodies. John A. Welker, a liveryman, and Leo Wade, his employee, told of having carted heavy trunks to the Gulamess farm in the summer and autumn of 1906.
Clyde Sturgis, employed by Foster & DeCargo, another livery concern, remembered that he took' two similar trunks to the place about a year ago. In addition, several boxes marked variously "potatoes" and "wall paper" were carted to the house at different times.
TO RECOVER FORFEITED LAND.
House Orders Attorney General to File Suits—2,800,000 Acres Involved.
By the overwhelming vote of 247 to 8, the house Thursday, after several hours' discussion, adopted, without amendment, the senate joint resolution authorizing the attorney general to file suits against the Oregon and California Railroad Company for the forfeiture of all or part of 2,800,000 acres of land grants in the western part of Oregon. It is claimed, by the government that by reason of breaches and violations of the acts making the grants, the railroad company has forfeited all its rights to the land in question.
The resolution was introduced in the senate by Senator Tillman, and has passed that body.
NIGHT RIDERS MAKE THREATS
And Ohio State Troops Are Ordered to Several Towns.
Threats to burn the towns of Aberdeen and Higginsport, emanating from unknown sources, but resulting from the bitter warfare in the burley tobacco district of Ohio and Kentucky, are largely responsible for an order issued by Governor Harris to Adjutant General Critchfield to dispatch troops to the towns mentioned.
THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. MARY'S
Revised drawing, from The Churchman, New York.
The contrivance shown in the accompanying illustration resembles a pair of pilers, but it is not. It is a carving fork which the inventor, a Michigan man, claims is a great improvement over the carving forks now in common use. Again, it might be mistaken for a pair of scissors, being of similar construction, with the exception that when the handles are drawn together the shanks still remain apart. At the end of each
90
shank are the prongs. When it is desired to hold the meat to be carved the handles are swung apart, causing the prongs to do likewise. The shanks are then placed at opposite sides of the meat and the handles drawn together. With the aid of this utensil the meat can be securely held, the grip increasing in proportion to the grip exerted upon the handles. The prongs being prevented from contracting, they cannot cut or crush the meat.—Washington Star.

Parachute Thrillers.
Among the latest "thrillers" is the triple parachute leap, in which one aeronaut uses three different parachutes before reaching earth. He leaves the balloon in his downward flight with a red parachute, but after falling a short distance liberates it and makes a second plunge through space with a white parachute. This feat is repeated again after another drop, and he finally lands with a blue parachute.
Another "thrillier" is a double parachute leap from the same balloon, in which a man and woman race to earth in parachutes which fall 500 or 600 feet before opening out.—Popular Mechanics.
