The arrests dave already. been inade in Alabama ‘and Texas,"and one of the alleged conspirators was on the Mezlcan bor der ready to cross the bofder when the officials took him into custody. Details of the swindle were made.pub- Mc by Hary Cutler of this city, who was a momber of the committee nam- ed by the New York jewelry board of trade to capture the conspirators. Mr, Cutler says that the conspiracy hed “gone so far that arson was thought to have been some of the methods resorted to by the alleged swindlers. Montgomery, Ala, is sald to have een the fountain head of the con- Spirecy. The scheme was ta buy jew. elry throughout the country and ship dt to Montgomery. After that, the Te Port says, dummy! packages ‘were sent from a Montgomery firm to othor store scontrolied by it. These were then credited as roal shipments of goods and so listed. The stores were then set on fire, it is alleged, and the dummy packages were Usted as lost assets by the firm in bankrupcty pro- ceedings. AT MERCY OF LOOTERS. Uncle Sam's Millions Are Poorly Protected. Washington, D. C-—The astonishing statement was made by Charles D. Norton, assistant secretary of the treasury, before the house committee on expenditures in the treasury do- partment that there was at present no law on the statute books by which @ subordinate in any of tae various subtreasuries of the United States could be punished for making away with public funds. A man might loot the treasury of ag muuch as he Iiked or could get away with, and no law exists by which he could be punished, declared. Mr. Nor- ton. if two or more employes en. gaged in an embezzlement, they might be punished for conspiracy, but that was all, ‘The assistant treasurer at New York furnished a bond of $600,000, signed by private parties for the rea: son that a bonding company would charge him $4,500 premium, and Mr. Norton sa{d the furnishing of bond by private parties in such cases was a most undesirable arangement for the United States. ‘This much and other similar tn. formation was elicited from Mr Nor ton during a hearing on the question of whether the committee on expendi: tures in the treasury department should undertake an investigation of the shortage in the subtreasury at St Louls and other places and incidental. ly inquire into the accounting system of the United States treasury.

As, the elder slater of the republics we take great pride in that fact. As the elder sister we also arp anxious that each member or the family should know that we belfeve in absolute equality in every member of the family. There is notaing in preference that we insist upon because of the fact that we are the older na- tion and for the time being can count more noses.” President Taft referred to the work that Secretaries Blaine and Root haa done to bring about a greater bond of friendship among the American re- publics> He congratulated the other American republics upon the progress they have made In the past two dec- ades, not alone in the matter of com- merce, but toward a peaceful settle, ment of all disputes. “It goes without saying,” he added In conclusion, “that In the foreign policy of the United States; its great- eat object is peace among the Ameri. can republics. We twonty-one repub- Ucs cannot afford to have any two er three of us quarreling. We must stop. The organizations and work of this bustau of the republics is doing much in that direction.

R. E. Pardii. Cattle Raising in Georgia Turns on Revolutionized Conditions. COMBINATION BREED NEEDED Dr. E. M. Knight Expert of The United States Bureau of Animal Industry Talks of Cattle Raising in This State. Atlanta, Ga.—"Live stock raising in Georgia," declared Dr. E. M. Knight, expert of the United States bureau of animal industry, "is impossible under existing conditions. Changes of the most revolutionary nature must be effected before this great industry becomes the asset indicated by Georgia's natural advantages." For ten years Dr. Knight has been in the government service, assigned to that broad southern tectory lying between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic ocean. By education and specific training he is thoroughly equipped to discuss the subject of cattle breeding and raising with a note of final authority. He passed through Atlanta, and was induced to talk upon lines calculated to appeal to every enterprising farmer in the state. "The primary and indispensable premise to cattle-raising in Georgia," declared Dr. Knight, "is the absolute repeal or radical modification of the so-called 'no fence' law. It is impossible to build up a cattle industry on the open range. "Absence of fences means that your pure-bred strains may be contaminated by the scrub stock of your neighbor, or vice versa. "The expense of this innovation is smaller than you would imagine. For instance, old pine trees make the Lest sort of fence posts when treated with creosote. Under these conditions they will last twenty years. A bulletin of the department of agriculture describes the process. "Not more than 50 per cent of the men owning farm lands in Georgia live upon it. We have to deal with this problem of absentee landlordism, and it is to the distinct money interest of these landlords to undertake the expense of fencing in ranges in Georgia and of otherwise encouraging the development of the industry on the part of croppers and renters. "Under existing conditions, the landlord depends almost wholly upon the one crop of cotton for his rent. If he will co-operate to the end of supplementing cotton with cattle, and, in reality, the two go hand in hand, he will be patriotically upbuilding the country and at the same time swelling his own dividends." Dr. Knight went on to show that the average of four cattle to the farm in Georgia, were, as a rule, scrub treeds, worthless for beef purposes, not lending themselves profitably to fattening for the market and not even remunerative as butter and milk producers. BOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno ate a combination breed which can be utilized both for dairy and beef purposes. The only field in which the Jersey can be used to advantage is in that of the dairy or creamery. For general dairy purposes, the scrub cows of Georgia, crossed with registered beef bulls, will produce a breed that will respond quickly and profitably to fattening and make an ideal market cattle. "Local cattle.clubs," said Dr. Knight, "contain the solution of the problem that is, from the.standpoint of immediate results possible under present conditions. A short horn bull, a red Devon, a black poll or a Heretord can be bought by a group of farmer. for from $50 to $150. "If each farmer owning an interest in the animal will make it his business to patronize it regularly, using his native cows as dams, we shall soon be on the highway to the working out of the problem. It is impractical to import into Georgia or any other state a new breed of cattle in toto. The more feasible program is to breed registered bulls of the varieties I have described to native cows. In this way we shall secure a product accustomed to its environment and calculated to thrive under it." Dr. Knight stated that under a plan contemplating the widespread local clubs, the members of all of them co-operating in earnest and particularly in the respect of fencing in the farms, the cattle industry in Georgia would attain paying proportions within about four years. "The offspring from the registered bull and the native cow would be ready for breeding purposes in two years," said Dr. Knight. "And its offspring, in turn, would be grading cattle, fit for beef purposes, responding readily to fattening and equally as available from a dairy standpoint. "In Montana," continued Dr. Knight, emphasizing the financial value of good beef breeds, "a steer will bring $25 miles from a railroad, with few or no rail facilities. In Georgia, with ample rail facilities, the sort of scrub breeds we raise are worth from $7 to $8. I can think of no more conclusive illustration of the importance of specific breeds of beef cattle." Dr. Knight was particularly emphatic in drawing attention to the menace of the cattle tick fever. "The only way to eradicate it," he said, "is to fence in the farms and rotate crops. "Eradicating is gradually going on in several Georgia counties, but the work is rather slow and discouraging, because of lack of interest on part of farmers." One of the most impressive arguments made by Dr. Knight for the development of cattle raising in Georgia is that it would redeem the state, the south, for that matter, from the pelit of a "one-crop country." "The country with but one money crop," he went on, "is founded upon a shifting and uncertain basis of prosperity. Necessarily, it must deal with a large class of poor farmers. A single crop makes, too, for intellectual narrowness. It is as essential to diversify minds and hearts as it is to diversify and rotate crops." P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.

The conductors of The Century Magazine state that in future that periodical will give considerable space to contributions which have especial value to all interested in the cause of religion. It is announced that there will appear, beginning in the May number, a series of papers on the revival of interest in Bible study, beginning with an article on "College Men and the Bible," written by Mr. Clayton Sedgwick Cooper, who, as secretary, is in charge of Bible work in educational institutions. Mr. Cooper reports that last year 32,259 college men, in 539 institutions of the United States and Canada, attended voluntary Bible classes. This worldwide movement outside of North America will be described in future articles, and the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D. D. is preparing for The Century a paper on "The Bible and English Literature." That one of America's leading literary magazines proposes to give especial attention to religious matters is significant. How His Fame Came.

This company is only chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. A Disappointed Man. MONEY DEPOSITED WITH The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company Mr. Halloran surveyed the insurance agent with a dark and hostile countenance. The fact that one eye was concealed by a somewhat grimy bandage did not add to the attractiveness of his expression. "Haven't you made up your mind yet to insure with us?" inquired the agent. "You told me I might call again in a few days." "There was two of you at me to get an accident insurance policy," said Mr. Halloran, breathing heavily.

HE mathematical principle involved in aeroplanes, machines heavier than air, is that of gliding over a fluid. The air under the flat surfaces may be considered as being compressed—that is, a cubic foot of air under a moving plane weighs more than a cubic foot above it because there is more air in the cubic foot of space. And the greater the velocity of the plane the greater the compression. T Finds Attic Slab. Word has been received at the Johns Hopkins University that an important discovery has just been made by Dr. Allan C. Johnson, who was fellow at the university last year, and who is now holding a fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. While pursuing his investigations in the Acropolis at Athens, Dr. Johnson was prompted to examine carefully the stones which compose the retaining wall of an ancient cistern, and found that one of them had engraved upon it an inscription which had previously escaped observation, because it was built into the wall in such a way that no letters were visible. Thus: Suppose that a horizontal or slightly inclined upward plane is moving in air under the force of a given im- pulse; it will traverse a much greater distance than a body of any other shape driven by an equal force. I tried this experiment up here by throwing stones and tin plates. Different shapes of stone, pieces of iron, wood, etc., were thrown out over a canyon below the observatory. Smooth stones did not go more than 250 feet, wood and iron bodies less. Then flat tin shingles were thrown horizontally or inclined upward. About twenty were thrown. Upon trial two were sent at the proper angle and speed to "catch the air," and they flew to a distance of not less than 1,500 feet. This is the principle elaborated by Langley in his basic experiments. The reaction pressure of the air under the gliding plane was against gravitation and sustained all that part of its weight in excess of that able to be kept up by the air in its natural state. With enormous speed a velocity theoretically, if not actually, could be reached where the air under the plane would be as a solid, be a road for the flying plane. Thus the air in front of a rifle bullet is very dense and has been photographed as a dark mass. When the slab was removed the description proved to be an Attic degree of 203 B. C., which was enacted an honor of Nikon of Abydos for having saved Athenians from drowning in a previous war. This valuable document, which is thirty lines in length and contains historical information hitherto quite unknown, will be published by the discoverer at an early date.-Baltimore American. In front of lightning the air becomes solid and turns the electricity aside in zigzag paths. The air above and around melinite approaches a very dense state when the explosion occurs. Meteors, when they move with their maximum speed of forty-two miles per second, compress the air in front. The aeroplane rides on air which itself compresses. The greater the speed the greater the weight sustained. Advertise in Your Home Paper For the Very Best Results. Choose Your Route.

When the Senatorial Limited was wrecked and the engineer, Big Bob, as he was commonly called, ordered off duty to work in the yards, there was genuine consternation among the ranks of trainmen. They all knew Big Bob, who had run an engine over the road for 30 years; knew his love for his big black steel, and his gruff kindness. When the monster petition went in to the president of the road for Bob's reinstatement, stating that owing to a disastrous storm he had worked night aid day for a week, and tired and over-strained had failed to see the washout on the roadbed in time to save theditching of the Senatorial, the president was annoyed. Weighed down by problems that kept him on the rack continually, the man, summoning the iron which had lifted him to his present position, declared that discipline, by which the road was to avoid expensive accidents, must be maintained. So when Big Bob, dazed and heartbroken, brushing by subordinates in outer offices like files, stood before the president in his private office, unheralded, formidable, that official listened stonily and curtly dismissed him with the announcement that they needed younger men. All the Scotch blood in Big Bob's body then surged madly, and lifting a knotted hand he cursed the president in language forceful and terrible, calling vengeance from the Almighty upon his head. The president's hand shook for an hour thereafter as he nervously signed papers, while the memory of that fearful Scotchman with uplifted hand was to remain long in his shrinking memory. Big Bob worked about the yard and on the battered hulk of his old engine, No. 900; doggedly. As he tinkered valves and levers, tightened bolts, rubbed brassbound ralls and hands and oiled the loved machine that had once raced at his bidding he muttered exultantly, "Ye'll help me make him pay for this." His life was sad and broken, looking on each day as the big black locomotives went out with strange hands at the throttles, while he did boy's work about the yard. Only one grim purpose kept him alive now—the purpose of vengeance. The general manager with anxious face strode through the yard, while everywhere, amid the howl of the gathering storm, sounded notes of excitement. When its purport reached Big Bob a grim smile contorted his face and he hastened to the manager. "Yes," the harassed man replied, "Briggs, running the special, was taken ill just outside the yard, his engine derailed and put out of commission—there's not a spare engine or engineer nearer than 50 miles on account of extra work, and the president with a directors' meeting so important he's crazed at the thought of delay. What, you have old 900 in good shape and can get steam up in short order? Wait!" Back from the president hurried the manager, "Hook on to the special on main track ready to leave at 5.43. Hustle!" As Big Bob backed his engine down into place before the waiting special, his face was terrible in its insane purpose. Just as the hissing steam was pouring from beneath No. 900 a taxicab drew up, a young lady emerged, hurried past the engine and boarded the train. Big Bob's eyes narrowed. His vengeance now would be quite complete when, running full-speed past the signal near the end of the route, he ditched his train on the emhancement beside which flowed Lake Gonica. But where had he seen that girlish Jace before? The thought followed him into his cab as he put his hand on the throttle, threw it open and felt the iron monster shart and quiver beneath him. Suddenly a vision flashed, vivid before him. An apple orchard in full bloom—a girlish figure entering it hearing a dripping baby girl cuddled close to her silken bosom. Her machine passing, she had spied the baby toddling toward the river and raiding across fields and almost knee deep into the waters had gathered up the tot and brought her to the white faced parents, then, hardly waiting for thanks had dashed off in her runabout. That was years ago, but Big Bob at last recalled clearly, unmistakably, that the girlish face was, the same as that of the president's daughter. Pulling his only hands over his eyes he shuddered, racked by the thought of the thwarting of his vengeance. But he had saved his baby, he must have her—and starting to check speed his ear caught a sound behind that turned the blood cold about his heart. Thoughts came incoherently, then one flamed clear as if written in fire. He knew the time schedule perfectly—the had all blundered. The Montreal Express, late and making up time, was behind with a single track, a more powerful engine, and the storm howling and blinding between! Turning, he saw that the terrified fireman, too, had heard, and calling fiercely, threateningly to him, ordered him back to his shovel. Then, jerking the throttle wide he felt the great engine, trembling like a thoroughbred, give a mighty leap and shoot forward madly. Milepost after milepost flew past like wreaths, and gripping his window stanchions with both arms he leaved-out and back. Just, then the engine behind rounded a curve, and its headlight-dung its stabbing gleam into their faces. It was to be a race for life, and Big Bob, hugging the reversing lever to keep from being knocked against the pitching cab, still held a rigid purpose stamped on his ashen face, but the purpose now was not that of a destroyer. As the big machine tore ahead in spurts of uneven, speed like the plunges of an infuriated steed, that black spectre just behind, and galling on them, all thoughts of hatred died in the desperate heart of Big Bob. He thought of the president now as the father of his baby's rescuer, and through white lips, and with the headlight of that pursuing demon almost in his eyes, vowed to save them. It was red hot now in the cab and the faces of the two men were drawn and blistering. Myriad lights, signals, tore the inky blackness as they shot by like a thunderbolt, swaying and lurching. Beade the luxurious parlor car, ignorant of danger, sat the two distinguished passengers. The president, sighing with relief, remarked on their rocking speed and added that Big Bob was certainly breaking records, and he would make the meeting all right. The engineer held his hand now on the throttle, while his eyes were wide and steady ahead. With the speed of lightning they crashed past the signal near Lake Conica, the big machine pounding as if her heart would break, then, suddenly, the man at the throttle shut off the steam and with mighty effort bent to the reversing lever. Groaning and staggering the train shot onto a sliding while almost simultaneously, with a roar as of a hundred devils, the Montreal Express tor by in the darkness. Old 900 limped into the station a little later, sheet iron flaring in ragged confusion, fire-box leaking—truly the end of the valiant monster. Dazed and bruised Big Bob staggered out of the dillapidated cab just as the president and his daughter came along. Holding out his hand the president said tersely, "Good work, my man—re By John K. LeBaron. port to Clarkson tomorrow for a flyer run." Big Bob took the hand in his grilled and aching. one, then turned to the man's sweet-faced daughter, and with tears coursing down his cheeks silently took off his battered cap, finding speech at the moment impossible. Boston Post. Prevention of Many of the Cold Weather Skin-Troubles. It is natural that persons with delicate, thin skins should suffer more or less discomfort in the winter, and when to a delicate skin is added a poor general circulation the suffering may be serious. Mucus may be done to reduce this suffering to a minimum in the case of persons who are not obliged to expose themselves to the elements in all weather, and even those who are much exposed may help their condition by observing a few simple rules. The greatest anboyance in damp, cold countries, in England especially, is the chilblain. In most parts of America the very cold weather is also dry and this particular horror does not flourish. The hands and feet are the parts most generally affected, by chilblain, which is a sort of miniature frostbite. The intolerable itching which is associated with it is one of the most trying symptoms. It often leads to such vigorous scratching that the skin is broken and ulceration results; but with the warm and dry American domicile there need not be fear of this particular form of skin trouble. Some persons always develop skin troubles in a prolonged spell of very cold weather, and all very delicate skins will suffer from harsh and bitter cold winds. Persons who are subject to any form of eczema are especially liable to an attack in cold weather. There are many simple precautions which no one of ordinary intelligence should neglect. Take, for example, the simplest form of all cold weather skin bothers, chapped hands. Many persons will say, "My hands always chap dreadfully in cold weather," and if cross-examined these same people seem to regard the chapping as an inevitable condition from which there is no escape. Let such persons try the following simple treatment; Never wash the hands in very cold or very hot water. Use a simple, pure, superfatted soap, dry very thoroughly and apply some emollient; the old-fashioned glycerine and rose water will often work as well as anything; In some cases it will be better not to use soap in any form and to substitute oatmeal. The hands should always be well covered when' in the open air. If to this is added proper exercise, in order that the circulation may be good, there will be no chapped hands. The same rules apply to the face and to the skin generally; thorough protection by the clothing, care in bathing, with the use of an emollient all the time, and a good general circulation.—Youth's Companion.

Every Sunday morning, I go over to see and feed the squirrels. They are the faintest and prettiest little creatures I have ever seen, and when I feed them they come right up on the bench I am sitting on and take the peanuts I give them and go right away and bury them. Last Sunday one of them came right up on my lap and took the nut I gave him and ran away and buried it. The next minute he came right up on my lap again, popped his head in the bag of nuts that was lying there and took a peanut. It is very interesting to watch them go and bury their nuts in many different places.—Violet MacQueen, in the New York Tribune. Cork Trees. We have many different kinds of forests in our own country, but to see cork trees growing we have to journey to other lands. In southern Spain there are many of these evergreen oaks which give great quantities of cork. Stoppers for bottles, shoe poles, hat linings, lifebelts and jackets used to keep people from drowning, cork arms and legs for people who have lost their own limbs and many other things used every day are made from the bark of the cork trees. When a tree is fifteen or twenty years old its outer layer of bark is cut off, for then the tree is thirty-or forty feet high. From that time on every eight or ten years the bark is removed, and, instead of growing poorer, it grows better with each cutting. Usually the trees live to be over 150 years old, so you see each tree gives a great deal of cork. In July or August, for that is the cutting season, the bark is stripped from the trees by girdling the trunks with a knife just above the roots and just below the branches. The great wrapping of each tree is then divided into sections by lengthwise cuts, but the inner bark is never split, for then the tree would be injured. The sections of bark are pried off very carefully, then soaked in water and scraped and cleaned. After this the cork is heated so that the large pores will be closed and then the cork is pressed on a flat surface. In olden times corks used to be cut by hand from the sheet of cork, but now machines do the work much better and without so much waste.—Washington Star. Dolly's Visit to the Country. Dolly's Visit to the Country Dolly was such a dear little girl, just like so many other little girls one sense everywhere one goes. She lived with her parents in a big, big town, where there were no cows nor pigs nor chickens nor colts nor calves. And as Dolly had never been in the country, she had never made the acquaintance of cows, calves, colts and chickens. So you will understand why she was so easily frightened by such creatures when she did see them for the first time. One fine winter's day Dolly's papa said to her mamma: "Don't you want to make a little visit to your parents out in Ohio?" "Oh, dear, yes; if we can afford the expense," replied Dolly's mamma eagerly, her face aglow with anticipation. It had been nive years since she had seen her parents. And one good old folks had never seen her little daughter, Dolly. aop beekml...k' oin un ununumm "Yes, business is picking up, now." explained Dolly's papa, who was just the best man in the world—or one of the best. He always wanted his wife and little daughter to have the very best of everything he could afford-to give them. "But he'll be so busy at the office all day that he'll not miss her so much. It will be of evenings that he'll say, 'Oh, where is my little Dolly tonight?' And won't Dolly miss papa, too?" Dolly nodded her head emphatically, and sliding from her chair, cropt into her father's arms to be kissed and patted on the head. After a few days' preparation, mamma and Dolly started to the old home "out in. Ohio," and as papa kissed them goodbye at the railroad platform, Dolly cried out: "Oh, let's hurry, mamma, or the big shu-shu train, will do off an' leave us." And on the train, Dolly had such a lovely time. Ever so, many big men stopped in the dishe of the car to pat her on the head and say: "Hello, little girl!" And Dolly would always bow and say very respectfully: "Howdy do, srl." And many ladies would speak to her as she went up and down the car, asking her name and her age and saying the pretty things ladies always say to such dear little girls. And so you will see that Dolly was quite the center of attraction in the big car as she rode along to the state where grandpapa and grandmamma lived. And at the last station of their journey Dolly was happier than ever, for there were grandpapa and grandmama, whom she had never seen before. And the dear old folks hugged Dolly, so tightly that she almost lost her breath, and she had to say: "Oh, gran-papa, you are huggin' me like a big bear!" Then the joyous ride in the sleigh—for a fine, deep snow lay over the ground—to the old farm miles from the station. Wasn't it just too jolly in a sleigh and the sleigh bells jingling? Oh! Dolly was too happy to tell about! And pretty soon they drew up in front of the big farmhouse—such a big house! It was quite wonderful to Dolly. Why, the sitting room they went into could have held all their city flat and had room to spare. And there was the kitchen! Did any one ever see such a kitchen? Why, it was ever and ever so much bigger than Dolly's home kitchen, dining room and some other rooms combined. Dolly felt that she'd get lost in such a big house. And at the long table for dinner! Dolly sat with eyes and mouth open, wondering at everything. Then after dinner—the very best Dolly had ever eaten—Dolly was taken out to have a walk about the barnyard. Her mamma' stayed indoors to talk with her grandmamma, so Dolly went out with grandpapa alone. At first she was a bit afraid of the pigs in the pens, for they came right toward her grunting and grunting as if to say, "Ugh! We'll eat you up!" Ugh! We'll eat you up!" But the wonder of wonders were the cows and calves. "Why, the calves are little cows, aren't they, grandpapa?" asked Dolly. "Yes, just as my little girl is a little woman," laughed grandpapa. Then grandpapa told Dolly to stay beside the barn door while he went around to see if the old brindle cow was in the pasture behind the cow sheds. "Till be right back, honey," he said. "The snow is too deep for you to come with me." So Dolly remained where grandpapa had left her, wondering at all she saw. Oh, how far she could look. Away over the land to some houses—farms like grandpapa's—in the distance. But just as Dolly was thinking that that she would like to go to the distant hills and farmhouses, too, she heard a funny noise at her side, and quickly looking round she beheld a terrible sight. A great monster of a bird was standing looking right at her, saying "Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!" And behind him came some other birds, only not quite so tall, and they said "Quack, quack, quack!" And the "gobble, gobble" and the "quack, quack" "frightened Dolly very much. Oh, what shall I do?" she cried, trembling in every limb. "I wonder if they'll eat me up! I wonder if they are as wicked as bears an tigera? Oh! mamma! Oh! grandpapa! Oh! gran-tamma! Somebody come an take me to the house! Oh! I'm so afraid!" But just at this minute grandpapa came round the side of the barn, and, seeing the terror depicted on Dolly's face, he said: "Why, dearle chile, don't be afraid of them. They are our nice, friendly fat turkeys and ducks. That big fellow who is talking to you—the one who says 'gobble, gobble'—is the old turkey gobbler. He's the king of the barnyard. All the chickens, ducks and his own immediate family are gulded by him. He's a great gobbler." "Well, he may be nice, grandpapa," said Dolly, standing very close to grandpapa for protection, "but I don't like his looks, nor his voice. An I don't like the fat ones, either." By the "fat ones" Dolly designated the ducks. "Well, we'll see how you like them later on, when they are baked brown and juicy in the oven, with fancy dressing," said grandpapa—Washington Star.

Dr. Max, Wolf, of, Heidelberg, to whom astronomy owes the discovery, by the aid of photography, of thirty-six new asteroids, has himself never seen a single one of these little planets. He has only looked upon the images of the stars, discovered by him, leaving to other "searchers of the sky," the pleasure of viewing them through telescopes. Dr. Schlick's apparatus for pigeventing ships from rolling at sea has lately given fresh proof of its ability. One of his gyroscopes has been fitted on board the mail steamer Lochiel. While the vessel was rolling 161-2 degrees on each side, through a total angle of 33 degrees, the gyroscope was started, and immediately decreased the total angle of roll to 3 degrees. The apparatus is driven electrically and requires little attention. Preece has calculated that an audible sound is produced in a telephone by a current of 6 by 10-13 amperes, and Pellat has calculated that a sound is produced by a difference of potential between the two stations, amounting to only 1-2000 volt. These statements give some idea of the great sensitiveness of the modern telephone, but the sensitiveness of the human ear, which perceives the invisible vibration of the telephone diaphragm, is no less remarkable.—Scientific American. Bread made of cotton seed flour was exhibited on the board of trade recently by Charles Stearn. It is the first of its kind ever shown here and was a decided novelty. The bread, although ten days old, was sweet and nice, and resembled brown bread, being one of the best imitations of Boston brown bread that has been seen. The cotton seed flour was ground and the bread baked at Ennis, Tex. The flour can be had at $20 a ton, or 11-2 cents a pound. People in Texas are booming it as a substitute for wheat flour.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The use of the gas furnace for forging, tempering and hardening steel is spreading among the workshops where cutlery and tools are made. The old 'hearths' are disappearing, replaced by small, clean gas furnaces, which are not only economical in space and cost of running, and comparatively clean and neat, but furnish a uniform temperature of any desired degree, thus avoiding damage to the steel through 'burning,' or irregularity of temperature. The working of the furnaces is economical, because the gas can be cut off the moment the operation is finished. RAILROAD 'PHONES A SUCCESS. New System of Train Dispatching Extended to Main-Line. Such great success has, attended the use of the telephone in lieu of the telegraph in handling trains on the Mahanoy & Hazleton division of the Lehigh Valley railroad that the system has been extended to the main line between Easton and Penn Haven Junction, Pa. The movement of trains is smoother and more rapid, it is asserted by the company's officials, than it was when the dispatching was done by telegraph. There also are fewer interruptions between the train dispatcher and the offices along the line. When it first was suggested that the telegraph be done away with and the telephone used to regulate the movements of trains there were many railroad officials who were skeptical. Official announcement was made yesterday that the new system of dispatching not only has met but actually has exceeded the hopes of the most enthusiastic friends of the telephone in that connection. As rapidly as it can be done the use of the 'phone will be extended on the system. It has cost the Lehigh Valley about $30,000 to equip the 152 miles of line already covered by the 'phone service. One of the fine features of the service is that the dispatcher may talk directly with the engineer and the conductor of a train. Thus fewer mistakes are made. It is one of the rules that he numbers of trains and engines and the names of stations not only must be pronounced distinctly, but afterward spelled out in full. The telegraph facilities still are used for purposes not connected with train handling—New York Press. Rise of Lady Tree. Lady Tree, upon whom congratulations are being showered no less heavily than upon her husband, Sir Herbert Beebohm Tree, has in her time played many parts and is even more versatile than the new theatrical knight himself. For, having had a brilliant career at Queen's college, she began life as a classical tutor there; then she made a reputation for herself as Miss Helen Maude, an amateur actress. Finally she achieved brilliant success as a Shakespearean actress, as a comedienne and as the female villain in melodrama. Lady Tree is a brilliant Greek scholar, one of the wittiest women speakers in England, a good musician and a skillful néeedwoman, while she wields with no small skill the pencil and the brush. —Lady's Pictorial.

On Sunday at eleven o'clock at St. John Baptist Church, he will again talk of Tus- kegee, its work and its needs, He will also speak at the Men’s Sunday Club in the afternoon. Like all large institutions it takes a vast amount of money to meet the expenses at Tuskegee and Prof.'Simmons is trying to dis- courage the idea that Tuskegee is immensely wealthy and does ‘not need the support of the public. After a recent visit in Jackson- ville, Fla., the Florida Times Union, a white paper spoke most favorably of Prof. Simmons, highly commending his work and stated that in that state he bad raised upwards of eight thousand dollars.

Yours, (Meddter) The Trouble Tuesday . Night Could Have I Reon Averted. The occurrence on the iuast side on Tuesday night is still fresh in the minds of the. people. Tt could have been averted if the man Jones had peacefully submit- ted to arrest, andtoday’ he would not have been a near-murderer and a fugitive. from justice, the policemen would not_bave been in the hospital, and Mr. Ed. Wil- liams would have been froe of any charge.’ The action of Jones for insulting the two colored girls, and the shooting down of the policeman who went to arrest bim, is soverely condemned, and every colored citizen is anxious for his apprehension, legal trial and severe punishment. The white man who without authority, at- tempted to hold the colored man and girl, isto be blamed for the second part of. this regrettable affair, He had no business laying hands on innocent persons, and had he waited for the arrival of an officer and had the parties pointed out and if necessary plac- ed under arrest, the police- men would not have been burt and Mr. Williams would not have been accused. It is understood that allgood citizens should sid the officers of the law when neces- sary, but the action of some of them in instances like the aboye is liable to be misunderstood, To avoid unnecessary trouble it would be well for them to use dis- cretion. Mr. Williams claims that he did not cut the policemen. Be itas it may, whoever did it was not justified. Our’ people must understand that muttérs not how unjust the charge may be; when- ever they are apprehended by an officer, they must peacefully sub- mitto arrest. If this advice be followed much trouble would be averted. The entire affair is regretted, because such tends to creite race feeling. | The relation between the races in this city is more cor- dial then anywhere clic, and THE Trreuse and all good citizens de- sire 2 continuation of the same.

Look for ewes that’ show good breeding—Farmers Home Jour- nal. 2 - ‘Tankage for Hogs. . _ The Ohio experfment staticn has ‘been testing the value of tankage in hog feeding, and especially to. hogs following corn-fed cattle. The result of tankage feeding was found to be extellent when used to supplement corn, making’ the hogs: grow and de velop very rapidly, After giving the details of these experiments, showing the rapid gain in hogs fed tankage, the Ohlo-station concludes its exper! ment circular announcement oa the subject as follows: . “in the tests reported in this clreu- lar the gains made, by hogs fed tank. age were more than onchalf greater than the gains made by the hogs that depended. entirely upon the droppings from the steers—a decided fnereage from the use of a supplementary feed rich in protein, and ash.” . ‘The Indiana Farmer has heretofore called attention to Ike statements in the bulleting of the Purdue experiment station, showing the excellent résults in feeding tankage to hogs. It is the high percent of protein in tankage that makes it so valuable when fed with corn, which is highly carbon- aceous. The two make a great hog ration. = — ipstiiten Rotates: Perhaps with no other staple crop can the farmer galn so much by its careful preparation for the market as with potatoes. Both for the local mar- ket and for shipping, medium sized Potatoes that do not vary much in size are more, readily salable than those that vary much in size in the same lot. If your potatoes are not uniform in size It will pay to grade them, putting the large ones in one lot and the medium sized ones In an- othér, leaving out all of the very small ones. After digging it’ fs well to al- low the potatoes to Ile on the ground till well dried off, usually from one to two hours, so that the dirt will not stick to them. This improves their looks very materially. Bruised or cut Potatoes shonld be carefuljy excluded from those intended for market By never marketing anything but sound and uniform sized potatoes a farmer can soon bulld up a reputation that will be of cash value to lilm, as deal- ers are usually very willing to pay more than going prices for potatoes which they: know to be all right. The seme can be said of communities, If all the farmers of a community grow the same varicty, the one best adapt- ed tgthat locality, aud for which there is a good demand, buyers will soon become aware of the fact and more of them will come to bid for them and the farmers will get better prices. Mixed lots of potatoes always sell at a discount~-Written for the Dakota Farmer by W. H. Wenz. Milk Vessels and Their Care. Clean, properly cared for milk ves- sels play an important part in the-pre- duction of pure and wholesome dairy products. ‘Dirty pails, cans, ete, mean dirty milk and dirty products, and there is no getting around this fact. In’ tho first place use no rusty or otherwise rough cans or palls for gorms of discase will settle in every Uittle crevice and afford a harboring place for bacterla. None but tin vessels should be used. It is better not to use wooden vessels of any kind for the holding of milk, for the reason that it js diffioult to keep them clean. The pores in the wood readily absorb_po?- tiohs of the milk and only severe treat- ment in the way of'sealding can keep the pails clean. If regularly washed atid saturated with bolling-water, the ‘wooden pails will remain sweet, but often’ this Ig not done. It is best, therefore; to depend upon tin vessels which are free from pores and are @as- ily washed. ‘Clean vessels call for scrupulous care in washing, This is often not properly ‘done “partly from lack “of kiiowledge and partly because many “do-not want to take the time to do it cight, Wash all utensils clean ’by first using lukewarm water and some goad washing powder. Use a brush, in.co2- nection’ with the washing compound and scour, thoroughly, getting Into every part of the vessels. Fotlow this with clean, warm, water, and finally rinse again with scaldidg hot water. If at all possible, dry in the aun, which js A great purifier, There {s no need ‘otdrying with a cloth, foratter Being rinsed im bollingy water the’ ufessils will readily'dry in.a few minutes.

This infects ‘the ‘utensils so ‘badly that no amount .of washing will make per- fectly clean.—W, F, P. in the Indiana Farmer. Experience With Incubators. I will venture to give my experience with incubators. In the first place I use a good incubator and use only good, fresh eggs, uniform in size and color, for white eggs have thinner shells than ‘brown’ ones, therefore do not re- quiré the same amount of heat, mots, ture, ete, I run my incubator twenty- four hours without eggs to adjust the regulator to the proper degree, then place the eggs in machine and leave it tweiity-four hours Jonger, only to fill and trim the lamp. On the morning of the third day I turn the éggs, and turn and cool them twice each day until the eighteenth day. I do not turn after the elghteenth day, as the chick is fully developed, and has found its proper, position to dreak its way out, and to tum the eggs at this time would turn the phick head down and ‘drown ft, or place it*in such position that if could not work to advantage. I also sprinkle the eggs every other morning with water warmed 103 de- grees, I ran the incubator at 102 first week, 103 second week and 103 to 104 third week. T test the eggs on the seventh and fourteenth days of incubation, Some- times the- most of the chicks will be cout and under the tray, and the heat from thelr bodies will cause too high a temperature below the eggs, and in such éases it Is best to remove the,dry_ chicks to the warmed brooder and has- ten the remainder of the hatch by spreading a warm, mofst cloth on the eges and Teaye it there twenty min- utes keeping the door closed the while. * When putting the cloth In don’t leave the door open longer then necessary, as it is important that the tempera- ture does not run down more than two degrees. This application -alone has saved me fully twenty-fve percent of live chicks that otherwise would have’ died in- the shell oa account of the shell becoming too dry and the inner lining so tough that the chicks could not break thelr way ‘out ” I had one experience that I aim anx- fous to, give my fellow poultrymen. I took ill during my third hatcb,. and through, ~carclessness the incubator lamp was allowed to go out and re- mained out over night’ when the room temperature registered below fifty de- grees. = AAs soon as It was discovered It was Mt up and started again with but little hope of getting a chicken, but to our surprise and pleasure we got a 91 per cent hatch from those eggs. I have taken off ‘four hatches, the lowest being elghty-six percent which was taken out February 18th from eggs laid during January, = _ _ Again, I say, use a good incubator, fresh eggs from good, healthy stock, and good common hen sense and any- one can get good results with incuba- tors.—Inland Farnier. ‘i Farm Notes.

After that the grouid dried up and a new layer of mud -flowed over the impression, By same accident in a remote geological time the tw5 lay- ers became separated, and thus the impression of the feet preserved in negative and positive form. ‘The most astonishing fact akout this discovery was that the .Jmpres- sign of the foreteet and the much larger hindfeet bore’a very close re- semblance tov'the human hand. You conld see at once the ball at the base of the thumb, which could be oprosed to the other fingers just as in the human hand, and you could even seo the joints pf-the toes. ‘This discovery was the beginning of & process of investigation which en- tirely changed the views of the early evolutionists concerning the develop- ment of the human hand. What kind of beast had thus Impressed his fore- Paws in the stone? ‘The scientists eought eagerly through tha records of the prehistoric antmal-world, but no- where could they find a beast whose construction agreed withthose strange footprints, They, therefore, named the extinct animal the “Chirothertiim,” or “hand beast.” ‘The tracks of the “Chirotherium” are now held to prove that we must share the possession of a prehensile hand not only with the “Chirother- jum" and with many of the lower mammals, but with the lower mud- fish, and even with the frightful dra- gon-like creatures of the prehistorid world. How are we to apply this remarka- ble agreement of Prehistoric creations to explain the riddle of the five-tin- gered band? If there is anthing in logic, these facts must point to, the existence of @ common group of an- cestors for all the higher vertebrates Ddssesging. pentadactylic extremities with opposable thumbs. We must seek this prehistoric creation further back than the “Chtrotherium,” who’. tirst walked over the mud banks in the Triassic period. When the coal beds were still green forests, hundreds of thousands of years before the age of the “Chirothertum,” there swarmed many five-toed amphibious creatures, whose skeletons now adorn the mu- seums. The state of possessing tive toes was then in the process of be- coming permanent. The hypothetical ancestor of the five-fingered prehen- sile hand must have already been in existence before the straight trunks of thé carboniferous tree found a place to grbw on the soft, boggy earth. He must have lived in @ depression y the earth’s surface which was already Inhabited by fish, but not yet by land beasts. Are we then to infer that the hu- man hand found its origin in the fin of the mudfish? " Sclence answers “Yes" to this ques- tion, and as evidence potats to a highly interesting race of animal which 4s not exclusively a water ant- mal, but fs not a-land antmal. ‘This ts the mudfish or lungfish of Australia, known to aclence 2s Ceratodus. This has been well described as a living fossil, because {t is the only surtivor of an otherwise extinct group of ant- mals which populated the earth at the beginning of tho carboniferous age. The Ceratodus 1s endowed with two methods of breathing. In the rainy period, when the stream in which he makes his home Js filled with water, he breathes like a true fish, through his gills, but in the long dry period of the Australian summer his gills are ‘Out of use and he breathes the alr freely through his lungs. Through @ creature lke the salamander fish, Nature must have made the bridge by which our ancestors passed from ex- elusive water-dwellers to life on land. Among them, also, we must seek the origin of: the five-toed foot. ‘The celebrated anatomist, Karl Ge- genbaur, says ¢he’ fins of the fish, con- cerning Which we formerly Hela ce- romcous Ideas, are nothing but many} toed feet. The numerous rays, of the fins correspond to the fingers and toes of the. higher vertebrates. If the tin is the orlginal form from which the Se SS reo ianyiend cerning Which we formerly Held c- Tomcous Ideas, are nothing but many} toed feet. The numerous rays, of the fins correspond to the fingers and toes of the. higher vertebrates. If the tin 4s the orlginal form from which the hand develops, then the numerous tays of the fin must hare been re- duced in some way to five. ‘This Frocess does not appear probable In the highly complicated steering or- gans of the higher fishes. But we gain quite a different’ view when we study the Ceratodus, which Dassedses today four very primitive fing, somewhat in the shape of~a fern leaf. ach fin consists of a, strong ‘Central stent‘ ayiti:nlumeroug articu- lated rays branching out on each-side. On these fins, which are apparently predestined to become legs, tho: Cera- ‘todus, or Inngfish, ts accustonied to Test at the bottom of the srater. "Let us suppose that in the far dle- tant DeYontan perfod the fins of exme specfes of Ceratodus became developed to pid in the forward ‘movement of the body so that the conquest of the watyr. might be better attained. The wath bone- of the fin and ‘the aide yhes which, ere’ most useful for movement would have grown sirong- er, wae the other rays would have grown\ weaker until: they finally dis- appeared altogether fromdisise. What remained then of the fernljke, fn‘ as the Ceratodus would have been < many-toed foot, which in, ‘cowrss 'p® time would become better adapted“te {ts needs. This, however; «déea net settle ‘the question of the fir fager ‘and toes which we, together with+aif ‘the land aniinals descended. from’ tXe’ Ceratodus, possessed at she tiring: polnt of the creation of foot abd: hands. These must have arisen ‘ater/ for some object witch 13 still, conr, cealed from us. , 8 In any case, we’ must recognize the: Ceratodus as thé predecessor of tho’ possessor of tite original five-fingored: hand from which the hand of man, as! well that of other aninials, is derived ‘We must thank the Ceratodus for-our’ decimal system and our method of counting, which fs based upon theten. fingers. When wo celebrate Jubilees. and centenarles wo should pay some. honor to the original Devonfan ances tor of the higher vertebrates, who, millions of yearg after his -death,: through his Australian cousin,” thie Ceratodus, has put sclence on the path ot unravelling the problem, of how~ men came to have five fingers.

ACTORS IN CHINA. ‘Thelr Low Social Standing—Players Who Have Position.and Influence. “Thé secial standing of actors in China is very low. In the eighteen grades of China's social caste they are placed at the twelfth, which 1s lower than the pasition Immoral women or thieves occupy. This is the natural outcome of their being ignorant and leading a questionable Hife.” A Pekin contemporary writes: “But there is a class of actors called yu hsi tzu (Im: perial actors). There are kept on sal- aries Uke ordinary officials and act in the presence of his Majesty on the 4th of every month. “They have great inflyence and of- ‘ten defy even the command of the ‘highest mandarins. At present there are about ten of them In Pekin, the oldest among them being 65 years old ‘and the youngest 30.” It is a eurions fact that so fir as we know no satisfactory reason has even been assigned for the exceedingly low place to which ‘actors and actresses are condemned in Chinese society.

Its Disappearance. For Two Months Was Noted on Previous Visit--Not Likely to Be Visible to the Naked Eye For Some Time. COMET WON'T HARM US. Its Track is 13,000,000 Miles From the Earth, But Its Tall Will Reach Us. TO MARK LINE OF LINGOLN'S MARCH IN INDIAN WAR TO MARK LINE OF LINGOLN'S MARCH IN INDIAN WAR Illinois Representative Takes Up Prosecution of Interesting Historical Project---Only Oldest Inhabitants Have Memory. Chicago.—Minus its tail, its lustre dimmed to a point below the light of a sixth magnitude star, but rushing earthward at the exact place its schedule prescribed, Halley's comet returned to the ken of astronomers, and for more than half an hour before dawn was watched from Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., by Professors Frost and Bernard, working independently. That the spectrum may show what has happened to the apparently lost tail of Halley's comet is the belief held by Professor Frost. "It is worth noting that when it was here before in 1835 the tail disappeared two days before the perihelon, and was not seen again for two months!" he said. "Halley's is the only comet ever known to behave like this. It is probable that the tail. Is there, but is so dispersed that it is not bright enough to be seen. Washington, D. O. — Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, issued a statement that will bring peace of mind to folks who are worrying about a possible collision with Halley's comet. Here is what Chief Moore has to say: "Popular apprehension regarding harm to the earth and its inhabitants during the impending visit of Halley's comet to this portion of the universe is unfounded. The result of a collision between the earth and a comet would depend upon the mass of the comet, the velocity of the bodies and the angle of impact. A collision in the present case will be impossible owing to a safety margin between the tracks of the earth and the comet of some 13,000,000 miles. The tail of the comet through which the earth will probably pass will be noticeable only as an absolutely harmless luminous gas or dust, and may produce electrical and magnetic effects that can be detected only by self-recording instruments. A source of possible Burlington, Iowa.—Representative Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, a former Burlington resident, has taken up the prosecution of a historical project of interest to Western Illinois and to this part of Iowa. By the donation of a sum of money he has furthered the project of setting up permanent markers to outline the march which Abraham Lincoln took up in the Black Hawk war. Only the oldest inhabitants in those regions now have any memory of the course of that campaign, which is not adequately outlined in history. The object of the markers will be to fix permanently the line of march and the camping grounds planned by the martyr President. The way led across the prairies of Illinois to the Mississippi River at a point near Burlington, then known as Flint Hills. The march was made from Beardstown, Ill., to Quawka, then known as the Yellow Banks on account of the peculiar coloring of the river shore line. From Quawka the route was said to the mouth of the Rock River. There were two expeditions in the Black Hawk war, one in 1831, when Black Hawk escaped from the pursurers and crossed the Mississippi, and the second in the following year, when Black Hawk returned to the Illinois shore with the determination to remain. Lincoln was made captain of one of the companies which took up the campaign against the Indians. The expedition gave several names to the localities along the route which are still borne. It is interesting to note London Expected to Spend $15,000, London.—The first state ball of the season at Buckingham Palace will take place at an earlier date than usual to enable invitations to be extended to Mr. Roosevelt and his family. So many splendid entertainments are projected by American hostesses in honor of the Roosevelts that it is estimated that some $15,000,000 will be spent in London in that way during the week's visit of the family, and that the coming season will be one of the most brilliant on record. "The theory of its being foreshortened or the head being between us and the tail is altogether untenable. A comet's tail always points away from the sun, and if there have been any pictures printed in which this was not the case they are incorrect. Sometimes a second tail appears, and this freak tail may point toward the sun, but the main tail always points away. "If the tail is there and is merely invisible to our eyes the spectroscope might show it. There was, of course, no such instrument when the comet was here in 1835. We hope to be able to use the spectroscope on it in a short time, and may prove that the tail is present by this means. The fact that the spectroscope did not reveal its presence would not necessarily mean that the tail is not there, however, for it might be too dim for that instrument." danger or discomfort to the earth attending cometary visits would be the falling into the sun of a comet. As the least distance between Hallay's comet and the sun in the present instance will be more than 54,000,000 miles the possibility of discomfort from solar excitations will not exist." Hallay's comet was sighted by Professor Asaph Hall, U. S. N., at the Naval Observatory through a powerful telescope. At 4.50 o'clock in the morning Professor Hall saw the dim outlines of the approaching comet. Its position was one hour and forty minutes west of the sun. The comet should have been visible during the past week, but its approach was obscured by cloudy weather. This was the first time the comet has been sighted in this city. On May 19 next the earth will pass through its tail, and after that the comet will be visible only in the evening. It will then be leaving the earth, not to reappear again for about seventy-five years. that twenty-five years after his brush with Black Hawk Lincoln, when he was coming into prominence, again visited Yellow Banks, and, after making a speech there, came to Burlington by boat. Yellow Banks had become Quawka and was a thriving village. The markers to be placed along the route will be of stone and with suitable inscriptions, and a map of the march will be drawn and copies kept on file among the public records at various points. HISTORIC ELM SAVED. Washington Tree on Cambridge Common Given New Lease of Life. Cambridge, Mass.—After considerable hard work on the part of the Cambridge Park Department officials the Washington Elm on the Cambridge Common has been put in excellent condition and probably will live for many years to come. According to the report, just issued, strenuous measures—the same as were used to save the trees bordering Decatur street, many of which have been badly eaten by the elm leaf beetle. On the Washington Elm much of the dead wood was removed, the tree was sprayed twice with arsenate of lead and watered twice a week from a perforated pipe, which was laid a year ago. It was also watered frequently from a near-by hydrant. High Price of Beef and Mutton Leads the Poor to Try Goat Meat. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Brooklyn is "getting the goats" of a lot of people these days because of the high cost of living. With the prices of beef, mutton, lamb and pork soaring, the poor of the borough are turning to the meat of "Nannie" and "Billy" for food. For the first time in its history the flesh of goats is being offered for sale in the poorer quarters of the borough. The price is from five to seven cents a pound lower than lamb is mutton. FRIDAY. LUCK By F. E. C. ROBBINS. "Noah Ruwson tells me he expects to start in on his new barn to-morrow," said Isaac Grose, interrupting a protracted discussion of the tariff question. "What, Friday?" exclaimed Uncle Bijah Neal, rousing himself from the doze, or perhaps reverie, in which he had been indulging. "And why not on Friday?" demanded young Abner Harmon, ready enough to drop the tariff for some other subject of controversy. "I hope that you don't hold to the notion that Friday is an unlucky day?" "I haven't said that I did," replied the old man, meekly. "That's one of those old superstitions that sensible people outgrew long ago," persisted Abner. "Just what I told Mother Gleason one Friday long before you were horn," said Uncle 'Bijah, his face lighting up with the glow of reminiscence. "I guess I shall never forget that particular Friday, and the kind of luck I had," he continued, with a clearing of the throat that the company assembled in Lufkin's store had learned to recognize as the precursor of some simple tale of bygone days. "My wife's mother was visiting us at the time. Mother Gleason was an excellent woman, and sensible in the main, though I suppose she was hardly up to Abner's standard, for she had her superstitions that she held to like Gospel truth. I used to laugh at her some, but all the time I had a half-feeling that there was something in her notions. Most of 'em weren't new to me, anyway, for my aunt that brought me up as full of signs herself as the Old Farmers' Almanac. "Well, one morning my next neighbor brought me a letter from the postoffice, and come to open it, it was from the Widow Lincoln over to Pottertown. She wrote that she was thinking serious of selling her woodlot, and if I was a mind to come over and see her, maybe we could trade. "I was a good deal pleased, for I'd been trying to dicker with Mis' Lincoln for that wood-lot for more than two years; but the widow was independently rich, for those parts, and kind of crotchety, and I hadn't seemed to make any headway. "So now I made up my mind not to let any grass grow under my feet; and I told the women-folks that I was going to hitch up and drive down to Pooduck Centre and draw my money out of the savings-bank, and then go over to Pottertown in the afternoon and see if I couldn't close the trade right up. "But Mother Gleason spoke up, and she says, 'I guess you've forgotten what day of the week it is, Ablah. You wouldn't start in on anything as important as that on a Friday.' says she. "That was kind of a wet blanket on me at first, for I'd forgotten about its being Friday; but in less than a liffy my mind was made up. "That's just what I'm going to do," I says. "There's other, folks would like that wood-lot, and I'm not going to risk losing the best chance I've ever had to make some money on account of an old superstition that no sensible person really believes in," I says. "I didn't mean to hurt Mother Gleason's feelings, but you see I had to put it pretty strong for the sake of keeping my own courage up. "Well," says she, terrible solemn, "I only hope you won't regret it," and it kinder sounded as if she rather honed I would. "However, I harnessed up and drove dawn to the Centre and drew all my money out of the bank. It was along early in the spring and pretty hard travelling, and coming back, old black Charlie slipped on a patch of ice and went down on all fours, barking his knees and breaking one of the shafts. I patched it up and got home as best I could, and I tried to make light of it to the women-folks; but when I let on that I meant to foot it over to Pottertown that afternoon, Mother Gleason she warned me again. "You take my advice and give it up for to-day," says she. "It's one of the surest signs of ill luck even to dream of a black horse down, let alone actually seeing one tumble on a Friday," says she. "But I wouldn't hear to her, and after I'd tended to old Charlie's knees and eaten a late dinner, I started off for Pottertown—a good six miles. "After I'd gone a piece, I thought of a path through the woods that would cut off quite a little of the distance, and then I wished I had taken my gun. Of course I wasn't really afraid to go through the woods with that money in my pocket, but I thought that the gun would kind of be company for me. "So I went back and got it, but I was most sorry I did so, for it gave Mother Gleason a chance to expiate on another of her signs. She said it always meant bad luck to turn round and come back for something after you'd once started off. "I suppose all this prophesying of disaster must have made me a little nervous, for I was all eyes and gars when I struck 'into that lonesome path. But the only living thing I saw was a rabbit. He was in the middle of a kind of swampy place, and he' seemed to be nosing round for wild berries under the snow. "Now," thinks I, "I'll have a crack at that fellow just for luck." So I stole round cautiously through-the bushes, and finally knelt down behind a fallen log without his seeing me. Then I took a good alm and let drive. "Well that rabbit didn't fall in his tracks as I expected! I doubt if he even, realized what a narrow escape he'd had. He just looked round for a minute as if he was a little surprised at the noise, and then he seemed to think that on the whole he'd better seek some other field of labor. "I was a good deal worked up about it, for I considered myself, a good shot in those days, and for me to miss such an easy chance as that seemed like a surer sign of ill luck than any of Mother Gleason's. To make matters worse, in going back to the path I caught my foot on an old root, and fell among the bushes and scratched my face ridiculous. "I suppose it must have been going on toward five o'clock when I finally reached the Widow-Lincoln's, though I couldn't say exactly, for when I went to look at my watch just before I got there, lo and behold, it was gone! "It was an old bull's-eye and not worth so very much, but I valued it because it had belonged to my grandfather. Besides, I couldn't help thinking how I'd heard that it always caused ill luck to lose an old family heirloom. "So I wasn't over and above cheerful when I entered the widow's yard, and I was still less so when I came out. "I didn't so much mind her setting the dog on me, for he didn't really bite through my cowhide boots, and she called him off as soon as she found out who it was. And I could have stood the dressing down she gave me for coming there with a gun and my face all bloody, scaring a lone woman half out of her wits, as she said. But when, finally, she 'lowed that she wouldn't sell her wood-kot to me at any price, I did feel considerable down 't the heel. "The day of the week had nothing whatever to do with it," declared Abner. "It was merely a coincidence that your hard luck came on a Friday." "No doubt you're right," admitted Uncle Bijah. "Probably it was just such coincidences that gave Friday its bad name." "Didn't you ever find your watch, Mr. Neal?" asked the storekeeper, with a kindly interest. "Oh, yes," he replied, resuming his narrative with this encouragement. "I went over to that swampy place the next morning, and found the watch right under the log where I was when I fired at the rabbit. It hadn't taken a mite of harm—ficking away as cheerful as could be when I picked it up. I had my gun with me, but of course I didn't see anything to shoot. "I was kind of curious, though, to know where my bullet went the day before, so I rummaged round a little, and finally I spied the very hole that ought to have been made in that rabbit. It was in the butt of an old dead tree, and come to look at it close, I saw something yellow and sticky oozing out. I took up a little on my forefinger, and touched my tongue to it; and then I says to myself, "I wish I'd brought my ax instead of my gun!" "I clipped it for home, and got my ax and two twelve-quart palls, and came back to that tree, and got out all I wanted to carry of as prime honey as I should ever wish to see." "When I'd got most home I met Hosea Ross." Before I had a chance to show him my prize, he sung out, "Well, Blie, how much money did you have in the Pooduck Saving-Bank?" "Why,' says I, 'I did have quite a number of hundred dollars, but I drew it all out yesterday,' says I. "Why so? says I. "Why, haven't you heard?" says he. "Then he went on to tell how the burglars had blown open the savings-bank safe the night before, and got off with all the funds before the Pooduck Centre people had fairly waked up. You must recollect hearing about that robbery, Mr. Lufkin, if it was forty old years ago?" "Sartlin I do, as if it was yesterday," said the storekeeper. "So you got your money out just in the nick of time! How did you finally invest it. If it is a civil question?" "Oh, I bought the wood-lot with it. The Widow Lincoln came over to see me that very afternoon, and said she felt as if she had been a little hasty; and finally she offered me the lot for six hundred and fifty, which was fifty dollars, less than I'd calculated I'd have to pay. I made quite a speck out of that wood-lot," he added, complacently, "So, as I told Mother Gleason, my Friday luck turned out good in the end, after all." "I should think that after that you would have been completely, rid of the Friday superstition," said Abner. "Well, you would think so but I d'know how it is. It's curious about some of those little kinks that your mind gets into, in your younger years. Maybe you think you've got 'em all straightened out, but the chances are they don't stay so. "Now I know in all reason as well as you do, Abner, that Friday is so different from any other day, and yet I do suppose if I was, Noah Rawson, I should put off commencing on that barn till the first of the week."—Youth's Companion.

The brethren in Atlanta are blessed to receive such instruction from the Grand East. The Grand Secretary has already received several annual reports from the lodges. It is noted that the lodges are holding their own and in many the reports show substantial gain. These lodges have obeyed the law by reporting on time. It is expected that all of the others will be sending in their report before or by the first of the month. Don't be among the laggards, but see that the report is sent on time. The members of this jurisdiction should be readers of Masonic literature. First they should read the Tribune, the official organ of the Grand Lodge, thus enabling a wider scope of articles published, and, too, read the history of Masonry and study its lectures, etc. No man can be a true Mason unless he knows something about the order. The Orphan Home building will be repaired in time, for the Grand Lodge session. Let every lodge be mindful of the appeal sent out and send to Grand Master Butler a liberal donation for this purpose. Brother Alexander Melton, one of the oldest Masons in the State, and a member of Eureka Lodge No. 1, who is now an inmate of the Old Soldiers' Home at Hampton, Va., after reading the Tribune and noted the appeal, for the repairing of the Home, immediately sent to his lodge $2.00 to be applied to that fund. Now this is an aged brother with no employment, yet from the fullness of his heart he has done much. It is hoped that this will inspire the hearts of others to do likewise. Sweeten your lives by being charitable. THE LETTER "G." The Grand Orator of Rhode Island said in the course of his remarks: "When I became a Mason, forty-eight years ago, the first sign that engaged my eye was the letter 'G.' I have never lost the impression of it from that hour to this. Its great character and teachings are based on that truth, God is; and because of Him Masonry exists among men. If the real truth were not ours; if our life were based on theory and human philosophy; if no-high purpose, no great underlying principle lay at the foundation of our order, it would indeed have been like Jonah's gourd—it would have begun in a day and perished in a day. "The iron hand of time sounds the knell of departing years, and points as phantom pictures the shifting scenes of life. Death is so common, so awful, so august in grandeur and tilday, as to daze us and fill us with wonder and amazement, and oftimes the gliding moments, full of sable sadness, leave us as 'those that dream,' and when we awake we are full awake, we are surprised that we still live while so many of our comrades, whose cheeks were but yesterday, flushed with good health, have now fallen in decay at our side. And is it true that we too must die? Yea, verily, verily; the houses that now hold our immortal spirits are but tenements of clay almost ready for the crumbling and decay. Life is but a stage—the curtain rises—flowers bloom—birds sing in sweetest melody—the air is redolent of incense of noblest love—we enter the scene with hopes and buoyant prospects—our castles in the air are builted, and bye and bye we go up and live in them. We play our part—we hide our time—the scene ends—the curtain falls. The world passeth away, only he that doeth the will of abideth forever. Ah, brethren, he only lives who lives nobly, truly, grandly and unselfishly. Such were not born to die, and such, let us hope, were our beloved brethren, who within another brief year have slipped out from us, beyond our hand grasp, our beck and call, our sympathies and our help. Impetent and alone we stand in the presence of the Great Enemy, Death. God help "us to reflect. Oh, thou Great Architect of the Universe, so teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." LODGE CARDS. Folkston, Ga., April 22, 1910. The Masonic brethren should know how important it is to have their lodge cards with them when travel and, how it may help them at a time unexpected. I have met so many without their lodge finance cards. I found it of importance last week. I was in Jacksonville, and had to have a check cashed, and had only thirty minutes in which to attend to some very important business. I had to be identified before I could get it cashed, and would have had to go two miles and back before getting some one to identify me and the thirty minutes would have expired, and I would have been out about $3.00. I stopped for a moment and thought and drew out my memorandum with letters in it addressed to me and that would not do. "What kind of card is that?" asked the cashier, "My lodge card," I replied. "Let's see it." He looked at it a moment and said, "This is the thing I want, this will do." Another white man, standing aside said, "It is good to be that." Thanking the cashier I walked out. So brother, I insist on you paying your dues and having your card made out. It will serve to help you some way. Of course, a brother never leaves his card at home unless he is three or four months in debt to his lodge. Being secretary of my lodge I know what I am talking about. BASEBALL Becker, the new Giant, is a ball player of the aggressive type. Al Bridwell is sneedier than ever around short field this season. Ty Cobb reported to the Detroitfs, not full of malaria, but of ginger. "If Kling is in his old form he'll help the Cubs n lot," says McGraw. If Erwin and Daubert make good for Brooklyn then Brooklyn will have a large proportion of young bloods who made good. Some comments in magazines by alleged baseball experts are as amusing as they are inaccurate. The magazine industry needs a few more Fullertons. "Griffith's Gritty Ginger Ginks" isn't smatches from a conversation in Chinese or the name of a new kind of food, but an alliterative title for the Cincinnati Feds. Third baseman Tom Sheehan, the ineligible Brooklyn jumper, who is confined to the California League for four years, has signed to manage the new San Francisco Club, of that league. "The White Sox are out to win the pennant," says Hugh Duffy. So are seven other clubs. But Duffy adds that "the White Sox are going to do it," and therein he has it on the seven other managers. Fred Clarke says the New York Nationals have bought one of his patient diamond covers. "If I had the time to devote to pushing this contrivance I could clean up $100,000 in four years," adds the Pirate chief. Billy Gilbert, the former New York shortstop and second baseman, was signed by Manager W. J. Clymer, of the Wilkesbarre team of the New York State League. He will be used at second base.
