Whatever sympathy may have been felt with the revolutionists at Tabriz, there was no 'denying that the move­ment V?as against the established gov­ernment of Persia, and the grave im* propriety of an outsider taking an Ac­t ive part mtiSt be apparent. Homer C. Haskerville, a young American who was killed whijja loading & softie, of the revolutionists, evidently was a gal lant and impulsive youth, but he was an American citizen and a missionary in tWe "service of his church. Leading revolutions was tjuite apart from hte pofltt c'al and religious duties. The flis-avowal of,hisnacts by the government ot the United States an4,i>y the chirrcb board he se rved prevented the mat te r from becoming an international ques­tion; but ittis pitiful that a young man with so many commendable qualities should fall <a victim to grave error of judgment and that thus there should be brought to an untimely end a life full of promise of high usefulness.

T DAMAGE CANAL EVER HAD

THE CANADIAN LOCKS AT THE SAULT ARC 86WIOU3LY

DAMAGED.

THE WJ?ECK IS A BAD ONE

It seems that as long as the English suffragettes conduct their meetings in a quiet, peaceful, dignified and lady­like manner the papers refuse to no­tice them. So to have themselves re­ported by the public press it is neces­sary for them to raid ministers ' houses, at tack parliament, chain them­selves to posts of advantage, fight po­licemen and in other ways lead the strenuous life. This is quite a severe indictment by implication of the chiv aw-y of the British j*re«58, and gives the women Justification in saying: "It ir all the men's fault."

aers Peace by disarmament receives a

notable Impetus from "the order of the war department discontinuing the sale at auction of obsolete firearms dis­carded by the United States army. If our friendB in Central America are too poor to buy new guns when the notion seizes them to set up a revolution and overthrow a government, they must perforce keep quiet and let the exist­ing government alone if they can no longer buy cheap, but good, old guns from us. Thus does war become more and more a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

The latest fad in the development of luxury on transatlantic, s teamers is the report that one of the stewards on a Certain liner has charge of a garden patch from which strawberries, let­tuce, radishes, etc., are picked on order. The crops of this garden bring high prices, the strawberries going at two dollars for n small box. But it is not likely that there will be a general adoption of gardening on shipboard be­cause of the excellence of refrigerator accommodations on the average liner.

The Indiana woman who has been married ten times is held to have had but nine husbands, because she mar­ried one of them the second time, a divorce and one or two other husbands paving Intervened. But if the argu­ment of those who hold that we have had 27 presidents instead of 26. be­cause Cleveland was elected and Is counted twice, is sound, then she miis: on the some line of reasoniriR have had ten husbands.

From all sides come reports nf in­creased business, notably as regards the railroads and indupfrial concerns.

Tn* Upper Gate Dislodged *y a P e e * ing Veaael Send* Down • Very Di» astroiik Flocd.

The Canadian locks at Sault Ste. Marie were wrecked Wednesday after-nt.m, The steamers Asslnibbfa, of the t\ P. R. line, and a freighter of the Gilchrist line were locking up when suddenly and without warning one of ihe leaves of the upper gate gave way and the water from the higher level rushed In, sweeping both boatti und the lower gates before it. Both vessels were injured and the Assinibola went to the bottom a few-Hundred feet below the lower entrance and directly In the channel.

The flood from the upper level poured through the canal at a terrific pace. Efforts to lower the movable dam above the upper gates were promptly made.

The steel t rust s teamer Empire City was htt by the Assinibola a* she was swept out of the lock and has, a big hole In her bow. She reached the American side and Is tied up at the government pier, where she is slowly sinking.

Later the s teamer Walker was sunk at the lower entrance to the canal. The Assiniboia was finally moved from the channel and tied up to the govern­ment pier on the American; side. The accident was due to the steamer hit­ting the lower gate as she entered, the lock above. The gate was carried away and the wate^.poufc.d through it as a terrific rate, sweeping all before it. The Empire City and Assiniboia we-in the lock chamber. The Gilchr liner Perry • G." Walker wa* 'tied above. The latter broke her line J was swept through the canal. 1* the worst wreck in the history of canal.

The forces at work on Saturday was reporied, forced in the la*t \vi et of the movable dam. which, il stands the strain, will check the ru ing water. With the shutting off the current work will be rushed installing new gates to replace th< which were wrecked.

Abt-olutely without warning and with a rending and crashing of tim­bers which sent workmen on every floor flying for their lives, a section ol flooring in one of the main build­ings of the Peninsular Stove Co., De-Iroit, gave way, carrying with the wreckage v.t least I wo men, who have thus fa)- been rescued, and pos­sibly ffio'e who are still unaccounted for."

The building In which the accldcni occurred was u»-;ed as an office build ing and warehouse. On every one of Ihe tix floors*, sloven were piled rows deep. The building contained practic­ally the whole stock of the Peninsu­lar Co. to be sold for the winter o' 1909 and 1910.

The first floor to cave in was the ulxth.. From there the chaotie ra&bs of timber*, stoves, crates and ttovc parts crashed thnni^Ii to the base­ment. Wreckage is piled as high a* the second' floor. The ' basement and first floor are full and the second flooi is strewn with broken stoves and tim­bers. - , . ;

'

The ••building which is wrecked w.ys built Mi; ytars ago :by the Itavemoyer Snyarr Co. It bus been occupied by the Peninsular Stove Co. for the paM 27 years. Ja that time all floors lmv<-lueu rebuilt several limes. Workmen say t,hst the t imbers in the basement were' comparatively new.

Detroit cotnmaiideriea were easily the favorite^ in poim of drilling, even Ihe reviewers becoming highly enthus­iastic. Damascus Commandery No. -12, Detroit Commandery No. 1, and De Molai Commandery Xo. 5, of Gram! Rapids, outnumbered all otbens and showed finest in the drills.

FEUDS AGAIN.

The Hargus Murdera Are Reechoed In Bloody Breathitt.

"Ed" Callahan, former sheriff of Breathitt county, and chief l ieutenant of Judge James Hargiw during the feudn that bathed the county In blood, was shot from ambush and will probably die. The ^booting of Callahan ia ex­pected to revive the ofd trouble and, unless strong measures ar* taken im­mediately, the . same lawless condi­tions are likely to prevail.

Callahan had . swept out h i s ' l i t t b ) store in CrockettKville and was stand­ing in the front doorway with the btoora in his hands when there wa.s a crack of a rifle and he fell back. A puff of smoke in the woods 150 yard* away told where the would-be assassin had waited with his Winchester for the appearance of the former sheriff

SYNOPSIS.

Tli** story opens with the shipwreck of (lie s t eamer un which Mian Genevieve Jjt-slie, an American heiress, i*ord Win-tin ope, an Engl ishman, and Tom Blake, a brusque American, were passengers . The. three were tossed upon an uninhab­ited island and were the only ones not <lrown«d. Blake recovered front a drunk­en Ltupur. Blake, shunned on the boat, he-cause of his roughness, became a hero a3 preserver of the helpless pan-. The Engl i shman w a s suing for the hand of Miss Leslie. Blake started to s w i m back to th*s ship to recover what w a s left. Blake returned safely. Winthrope waated his last match on a cigarette , for which he w a s scored by Blake. Their first meal w a s a dead fish. The trio s tarted a ten mi ls hike for higher land. T h i r s t at­tacked them. Blake w a s compel lad to carry Miss Leslie on account of weari­ness. He taunted Winthrope. They en­tered the Jungle.

CHAPTER V.—Continued. "You'd find those thorns a whole lot

worse," muttered Blake. "To be sure; and Miss Lestfe fully

appreciates your kindness," interposed Winthrope.

"I do Indeed. Mr. Blake! I'm aure I never could go through here without your coat."

"That 's all right. Got the handker­chief?"

'1 put it in one of the pockets." "It'll do to tie up your hair.*' Miss Leslie took the suggestion,

knotting the big square of linen over her fluffy brown hair.

Blake waited only for her, to draw out the, kerchief before he began to force a way through the jungle. Now and then he beat at ihe tuugled vege­tation with his elub. Though he held to the line by which he had left the thicket, yet all his effortB failed to open an easy passage for the others. Many of. the tHrSrhy^rahches sprang hack into place behind him. and as Miss Leslie, who was the first to fol­low, sought to thrust them aside the (home pierced her delicate skin until her hands were covered with blood. Nor did Winthrope, stumbling and hob­bling behind her, fare any better. T w i c e ' h e tripped headlong Into the brush, scratching his arms and face,

Blake took his own punishment as a matter of course, though bis tougher and thicker skin made his injuries less painful. He advanced, steadily along the line of bent and broken twigs that marked his outward passage, until the thicket opened on a strip of grassy ground beneath a wild fig-tree.

"By Jove!" exclaimed Winthrope, "a hanyan!"

"BanyHn? Well, if that ' s British for a daisy, you've hit It," responded Blake. "Just take a squint up here. How's that fo r ' a roost?"

Winthrope and Miss Leslie stared up dubiously at the edge of a bed of reeds gathered in the hollow of one of the huge flattened branches at Its junction with the main trunk of the banyan, 20 feet above therri.

"Will not the mosquitoes pester us here among the t rees?" objected Wra-thrope.

"Storrn must, have blown 'em away. T haven't seen any yet."

' 'There .will be million's after sun­set ."

v "Maybe; but I bet. they keep below our ro(/st."

"Bpt how are we to get up so high?" inquired Miss Leslie.

"I can s w a h n t h i 3 drop root, and I've a creeper ready for you two," ex­plained Blake.

Baking action to words, he climbed Igp the small trunk, of the air root and Wmitg over into the hollow where he j h i piled the reeds. Across the W s d limb dangled:* rope-like creeper, one end of which he had fastened to a

k branch higher tip. He flung down the free end to Wfnthropw.

"Look lively, Pat," he called. "The sun's most gone, and twilight, don't last all night in these parts. Get .fhe line around Miss Leslie, and do what yon can on a boost."

"T see; but. you know, the vine in too stiff to tie."

Blake -stifled1 an oath sml .terked the ond of the creeper up Into his hand. When he threw It down again it was looped around and Castened tti a bow­line knot. •» j >.

over 1U07' He hud stretched out across toe

broadest port of the branch. As Miss Leslie seated herself In the loop he reached down and began to haul up on the creeper, hand over hand. Though frightened, by/jlje novel manner of as­cent the girl clung tightly to the line above her head, and Blake bad no dlf-llculty in raising; her until she swung directly beneath him. Here, how­ever, He found himself in » quandary. The girl seemed as helpless as a child, and be was lying fiat. How could he l«ft her above the level of the branch?

"Take hold the other line," he said. The girl hesitated. "Do you hear? Grab it quick, and pull up hard if you don't want a tumble!"

The girl seized the part of' the creeper which was fastened above and drew herself up with convulsive en­ergy. Instantly Blake rose to his knees, and grasping the taut creeper with one hand reached down with the other to swing th<* girl up beside him on the branch.

"AH' right, Miss Jenny," he reas­sured her as he felt her tremble. "Sor­ry to scare you, but 1 couldn't have made it without. Now, if you'll just hold down my legs we'll soon hoist bis ludshlp."

He bad seated her in the broadest part of the shallow hollow, where the branch joined the main t runk of the fig. Heaped with the reeds which he had gathered during the afternoon it made such a cozy shelter that she at once forgot her dizziness and fright. Nestling among the reeds, she leaned over and pressed down on his ankles with a i r her s trength.

The loose end of the creeper had fallen to the ground when Blake lifted ner upon the branch and Winthrope was already slipping into the loop. Blake ordered hlra to take It off and send up the club. As the creeper was again flung down a black shadow swept over the jungle.

"Hello! Sunset!" called Blake "Look sharp, t he re ! "

"All ready," responded Winthrope. Blake drew in a full breath, and De

lie. But as the Englishman came within reach of the descending loop he grasped it and did what he could to ease Blake's efforts. A few mo ments found htm as high above the ground a a ' Blake could raise him. Without waiting for orders, he swung

'himself upon the upper part of the ereerfer add climbed the last few feet unaided. Blake grunted with satisfac­tion as he pulled him in upon the branch.

"You may do, after all," he said. "At any rate, we're all aboard for the night ; and none too soon. Hear tha t?"

"What?" "Lion, I guess— Not that yelping.

Listen!". The brief twilight was already fading

into the darkness of a moonless night, and as the three crouched together In j their shallow nest they were soon made audibly aware of the savage na­ture of their surroundings. With the gather ing night, the jungle wakened Into full life. From all sides came }Jie harsh squawking of birds, the weird cries of monkeys and other small crea­tures, the crash of heavy animals mavins through the jungle-, and above all the yelp and howl and roar of boasts of orey.

After some contention with Win­thrope, Blake conceded that the roars Of his Hon might 'be nothing worse than the snorting of the hippopotami as they came out to hrowse for tho night, In this, however, there, was small comfort, since Winthrope pres­ently reasserted his belief in the

,clinching ability of leopards, and ex­pressed his opinion that, whether o r 1

not the re were, .Jjpas in t he neighbor*; hood, cer tain of the-barking roars they could hear came from the throats of the spotted climbers. Even Blake's hair; bristled as his imagination pic­tured one of the great cats Creeping upon them in the darkness front the far end of th,elr nest lhrib, or reaping UQWO out of the upper branches.

Tue nerves of all three were at their highest tension when a dark form swjjpt jjast through the air within a yard of their, faces. Miss Leslie ut­tered * stifled scream and Blake brandished bja club. But Winthrope, who had caught a glimpse of the crea­ture 's shape, broke into a nervous laugh.

"It 's only a fruit bat," he explained. "They feed on the banyan figs, you know."

In the reaction from this false alarm, both men relaxed and began to yield to the effects of the t ramp across the mud-flats, Arranging the reeds a s boat they could they stretched out on either side of Miss Leslie and fell asleep in the middle of an argument on how the prospective leopard was mostly likely to attack.

Miss Leslie remained awake for two or three hours longer. Naturally she was more nervous than her com­panions, and she had been refreshed by her afternoon's nap. Her nervous­ness was not entirely due to the wild beasts. Though Blake had taken pains to secure himself and his companions in loops of the creeper, fastened to the branch above, Winthrope moved about so restlessly In his sleep that the girl feared he would roll from (the hollow.

At last her limbs became so cramped that she was compelled io change her position. She leaned back upon her «lbow, determined to rise again and maintain her watch the moment she was rested. But sleep was close upon her. The re was a lull in the louder noises of the jun­gle. Her eyes closed, and her head sank lower. In a little t ime it was1 ly­ing upon Winthrope's shoulder and she was fast asleep.

As Blake had asserted, the mos-qaitoes had either been blown away by the cyclone or did not fly to such a height. None came to trouble the exhausted sleepers.

CHAPTER V I .

Man and Gentleman.

1GHT had almost passed, and all three, soothed by the re­freshing coolness which pre­

ceded tbe dawn, were sleeping their soundes t when a sudden fierce roar followed instantly by a piercing squeal causedeven Blake to s tar t up in panic. Miss Leslie, too terrified to scream, olung to Winthrope, who crouched on his haunches, little less overcome.

Blake was the first to recover and puzzle out the meaning of the crashing in the jungle and rhe ferocious growls directly beneath them.

"Lie still," he whispered. "We're all right. It's only a beast that killed something down below us."

All sat listening, and as the noise of the animals in the thicket died away they could hear the beast beneath them tear at the body of Its victim.

"The air feels Hke dawn," whispered Winthrope. "We'll sooaJbe able to see the brute."

"And he us," rejoined Blake. In this both were mistaken. During

the brief false dawn they were puz­zled hy the odd appearance of the ground. The sudden flood of full day­light found them star ing down into a dense white fog.

"So they have that he re !" mut­tered Blake—"fever-fog!"

"Beastly shame!" echoed Winthrope. "I'm sure the creature has gone off."

This assertion was met by an out­burst of snarls and yells that made all s tar t back and crouch down again in their sheltering hollow. As before Blake was the first to recover.

"Bet. you're right," he said. "The big one has gone off, and a pack of these African coyotes are having a scrap over- the bones."

"You mean jackals. It. sounds like the nasty beasts." u

"If ir wasn't for that fog I'd so down and get our share of the game."

"Would it. not be very dangerous, Mr. Blake?" asked Miss Leslie: "What a fearful noise!"

"I've chased coyotes off a calC with a rope; but that 's not the proposition. You don't find me, fooling around In that sewer gas of,a fog. We'll roovst right where we are till the sun does for it. We've got enough malaria in us already."

"Will it he Ions;. Rlake"" asked Win­thrope.

"Huh? Getting hungry this quick'? Wait, till you've tram pod around a we^k, with nothing to pat hut your shoes."

'Surely, Mr. Blake, it will uot be so bad!" protested Miss Leslie.

Sorry, Miss Jenny ; but eocoanut palnwj don't biaw over every day, and when those nuts are gone what are we «oing to do for tbe next meal?"

"Could we not make bows?" sug­gested Winthrope. "There sf**M<* to be no end of game about."

"Bdwa—and t r rows without points!

Neither of us could hit a b a r s door, anyway." <»*" " L •

'n^aeri we'shexild go ar once-to the cliffs,"-' said fclfaS LesHe.

"Now you're talking—and it 's Pike Peak or bust for ours. Here 's oft« night to the good; but we won't last many more if WQ don't &et Are. It's flints we're after now."

"Gould we not make fire by rubbing st icks?" said Winthrope, recal l ing 'bis suggestion of the previous morning. "I've heard tha t natives have no trouble—y'y '

"So've i, and what 's more, I've seen 'em do it. Never could make a go of It. myself, though."

"But iT you remember how it is done wt* have at least some chance—"

"Give you tea to one odds! No; we'll scratch around for a fliut good and plenty before we waste time that way."

"The mist is going," observed Miss ljeslle.

"That ' s no lie. Now for our coyotes. Where's my club?"

"They've all left," said Winthrope, peering down. "I can see the ground clearly, and there is uot a sign of the beasts."

"There are the bones— what 's left of them," added Blake. "It 's a small deer, I suppose. Well, here goes."

He threw down his club and dropped the loose end of the creeper after it. As the line straightened he twisted the upper part around his leg and was about to slide to the gTound when he remembered Miss Leslie.

"Think you can make it alone?" he asked.

The girl held up her hands, sore and swollen from the lacerations ot the thorns. Blake looked a t them, frowned, and turned to Winthrope.

"Um! you got it, too, and in the face," he grunted. "How's your ankle?"

Winthrope wriggled his foot about and felt the injured ankle.

"I fancy it is much better," he an­swered. "There seems to be no swell­ing, and there is no pain now."

"That ' s lucky; though it will tune up later. Take a slide, now. We've got to hustle our breakfast and find a way to get over the river."

WOMAN'S WORTH.

Or ft Should Be If the Person is Well Formed.

There are men whose a rms when they walk are like a couple of excited pendulums, trying to emulate the stride of the leg, the right arm swing­ing in unison with the movement of the left leg, and the left arm keeping time with the right leg. The military man is taught not to swing his arms; the civilian swings expansively, often covering a bigger radius than that cov­ered by his legs. When a man swings his arms excessively he appears to be paddling along. Wrhen a man doesn't swing his arms at till he seems to be advancing automatically. He is altogether uncanny.

The Gorilla de Luxo has arms seven inches longer than his legs. Can any reader tell instantly, without using a tstjie measure, which is the longer, his a n a or his leg"? Not one! The uni­versal reply wtft be—the leg. All wrong. The arm of a well-formed person, man or woman, measured from fhe pit. should be three-quarters of an inch longer than the leg, meas­ured from the crotch. The runner usually carries his arm bent at the elbow. Why? The best runners are pigeon-toed. Why? Most athletes turn in their toes. Why?

She is none of our dainty dames, who love to appear in variety of suits every day new—as if a good gown, like a s t ra tagem in war, were to be used but once; but our good wife sets up a sail according to the keel of her husband's es ta te ; and if of high par­entage, she does not so remember what she was by birth, that, she for gets what, she is by match.—Thomas Fuller.

Fresh Air for Complexion. Tell a young woman that fresh air

is good for her health and she may not take the trouble to try to have as much of It as possible, but tell her that it is good for her complexion and she will s lee | i i^ j the roof ra ther than forego the pleasure of it. And that is just what it Is good for as mnch as anything else, f o r ' t h e complexion is tjae outward sign of good running or­der of thlujgi within.

Y.'iien prominent men realize the in­jurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring,, the7 are glad to lend their testimony t o r the benefit of others .

A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern s ta tes says'!

"My mother, since her early child­hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of tha t "weak all over' feeling and sick stomach.

"Some time ago I was making an offi­cial visit to a dis tant par t of.the coun­try and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the cof­fee, and asked Eim concerning it. H e replied that it was Postum.

T was so pleased with- it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The wholf family were so well pleased with it, tha t we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely.

"I had really been a t times very anxious concerning my mother ' s con­dition, but we noticed tha t after using Postum for a shor t time, she felt so much bet ter than she did prior to t u use, and had li t t le trouble with he r heart and no sick s tomach; that t he headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much isaproved. This continued until she w a s as well and hearty as the rest of us.

"I know Postum has benefited my­self and the, other members of t h e family, but not in so marked a de­gree as in the case of my mother, a s she was a victim of long standing." Rend, "The Road to WellTille," in fckgs. "There 's a Reason.'^

The Old Time Jury. Grievances of present day Jurymen

are mild compared wi th those Inflicted on them in the past. Until the passing of an act of parliament in 1870 British Jurymen were prohibited from having meat, drink or tire (candlelight only excepted l while considering their ver­dict. In some ancient courts they were even subjected to physical violence. They were told to "lay their heads to­gether" us au indispensable prelimi­nary to finding a verdict. No sooner did the jury dive beneath the level of their boxes than an usher, armed with a wil low wand, took up a position near them. If any juryman presumed to come to the surface before the verdict w a s arrived at, down came the wand on the head of the offender.

ciatlon.J I iuet Mias Tully lu a boarding house

She w a s suppoaed to earn her o w n liv ln^, but no uue In the house knew her occupation. She usually went out about 0 o'clock in the xnoruing and re­mained moat of the day, but there wan nothing regular either about her going or her staying. Somet imes ahe would remain tu the house for several days at a time, and somet imes when she went out in the morning would return before noon and not go out again.

There w a s a good deal about Miss Tully that Interested me. She w a s never for a long period in the same mood. One day she would be merry as a cricket, the next in the depths of despair. Then she would be subject to iits of anger, when no one rared to approach her. Any sensible person may judge from this that Miss Tully was not likely to make a good wife , but I have noticed In young men a dis­position to neglect the girls who are especially fitted to make homes com­fortable for those who are so consti­tuted as to make a husband's life a burden. At any rate, I became fasci­nated with Miss Tully's moods. At our first meet ing there w a s a girlish gladness about her that w a s simply delicious. A f e w days later she met me with an imperious look on her face that well nigh froze the marrow in my bones. The jiext week my pity w a s excited by a melancholy that w a s no less becoming than her sprightl lness or her regal dignity.

It w a s not long before I w a s madly in love. But, realizing the folly of making a life partner of a girl who w a s not only changeable BB the wind, but whom I k n e w nothing about—in­deed, whose mode of support was a mystery—I fought against my passion. All to no purpose. I w a s caught in a mesh and unable to extricate myself.

One evening Miss Tully and I were sitting in the drawing room—the board­ers, seeing my infatuation, had by this time come to g ive up the apartment to us—side by side on a sofa. It w a s in the spring of the year, and Misa Tully was like the season, light hearted, ex uberant in spirits and, it seemed to me, wil l ing to listen to love's young dream. Little by little I turned my words upon that dream, which by this time had en thralled me. Miss Tully t a w my drift and seemed to yield to a pleased lan­guor, listening eagerly to what I said. I poured into her ear all a lover could say, leading up to a proposal, when she stopped me and said ecstatically:

"Say it all again." I confess I w a s puzzled—Indeed, a tri­

fle put out. To repeat my glowing words was not to my mind. Fortunate­ly my embarrassment was relieved by a maid entering with a note for Mis* Tully. She opened and read it. From that moment she was changed. Her light hearteduess disappeared and with it h«r apparent interest in what I had been saying to her. Smarting under this sudden indifference. I left her.

The next evening at dinner I noticed that Miss Tully appeared to have some­thing on her mind of an exasperating nature. Her teeth were set, and her eyes were tilled with flashes, coming at long intervals, like heat l ightning on a summer night. After dinner I was go­ing up to my room when she passed me in the hall, gave me a glance I did not understand and went into the drawing room. I followed. We were alone there, and. turning on me like a fury. she began to accuse me of some unex­pressed crime, working herself into a very demon. In vain I begged her te tell me what I had done. Without heeding me she talked on, or, rather, stormed on, till at last, seeing no pros­pect of an end to what w a s like a storm swaying to the east, to the west, any­where, everywhere in accordance with its unbridled passion, I left the room.

The next morning 1 made an effort to escape from this mad creature. 1 took an early train. For n week I remained away, then, professing to myself to feel confident of my ability to resist the fascination, returned to the house and Miss Tully.

At our first meeting I s a w upon her face the most engaging sadness. She gave me a reproachful look, which 1 took to express pain that. 1 had kept a w a y from her. I longed to take her in ray arms; hut. with a muffled moan, she went up to her room.

I saw nothing of her for a week. Then she was plain Miss Tully, neither happy nor miserable nor angry. She gave me a smile, put out her hand to m e and, int imating that she had some­thing to say to me. led the way into the drawing room.

"I owe yon an explanation." she said, "and I am going to reveal to you that which no one else in this house knows I am an artists' model. 1 never pose. however, except in proper clothing and only for artists who wish to > ateh an

They quickly dropped them from sight and began to talk with embarrassed haste, all except mother.; she was as serene as a day in June.

Mary brought on the soup. Whipple passed the crackers, and discovered that the cracker jar concealed a large patch op the tablecloth.

1 tell you, Sterling, nothing llk% home cooking, "r said Whipple tn his boastful voice, plaasaady anticipating the piece de resistance for which Mary had gone to the kitchen.

The corners of mother's tuotith twitched, and Sterling remarked po­litely that "he supposed not."

Mary came in bearing a platter upon which .> rolled. Uke so uiauy marbles, six hard balls of chopped meat, the aoup, iu«at in disguhio.

"What's this we have?" iuquired Whipple blankly-

"Meat balls,"replied uiotbwr in her sweetest and suavest tones.

Sterling pinched himself under the table to keep back the fiendish desire he bad to yell when Whipple, after pursuing one of the little hard balls urouud and around the platter with a spoon, finally captured it on the side and tried to mash it. It flew from under the spoon like quicksilver, and another exciting chase ensued before he finally got it ou Sterling's plate.

In the covered dishes were boiled turnips, onions and potatoes.

The conversation during the meal v.as forced, except by mother. It was hard to be ^ay on turnips, but mother bubbled over with good humor, and Whipple's silent prayer was that the meat ball would choke her to death.

Every time Sterling thought of the "comforts of home" he had a fit of coughing that made his chair sway to and fro till the chills crept dp and down his spine.

"Pass the coffee, Mary," said Lily, with a sigh of relief that the end was in sight. A hectfc flush had risen on Whipple's cheek bones. As he raised the after-dinner cup to his lips, looking fearfully about, aB if wondering if there was anything more that could happen, the cup dropped off the han­dle. Lily gave a cry and Whipple exe­cuted a war-dance as the scalding cof­fee burned him, Sterling started vio­lently aa he heard the crash. His chair collapsed and he fell in a heap, striking his head against the side­board with a force that made him see stars. i

Mother rushed around to see If he had "hurt his spine," while Lily wiped coffee from the wrathful Whipple's waistcoat.

"Why, that must have been ,the cup that I noticed had the handle glued on," said mother innocently, and Whipple glared at her with dark suspi­cion.

That night, while Sterling was wending his way to hia hotel, ponder­ing upon the ' whichness-of the what-ness" of some people, and of Whipple in particular, that person was search­ing his pockets tor greenbacks, which he turned over to Lily with an, air of righteous indignation and . the em­phatic remark that if she didn't open an account with the butcher and baker and buy some new table-linen, dishes, and chairs, and whatever she needed, they'd shut up the, whole "shooting-match" and board.

Lily, who was a wise woman, said nothing, but slipped upstairs later and hr.gged her mother.

ON THE SIDE Squared Accounts.

Among the veteran Jayhawkers" who attended Lhe dinner of the Kansas society in New York was Col. .1. E. Jones, who was a deputy marshal in Judge Pettit's court when Leaven­worth was a new town. One day a row started while the judge was hold­ing court. His honor rather snappishly ordered Col. Jones to put a stop to the commotion. The colonel went out to try, but the disturbers had two gun3 apiece and were rude. He went back and told the judge he was afraid he conldn't do anything.

'•Very well, sir," said the judge, 'T'll An* you $50 for failing to perform yotir duty."

-All right, judge," said-Col. Jones, jovially. "That just squares us for the 150 you owe me from that poker game l a 4 night."

Changeful Man. The newly married one had hung

out the window an hour waiting for him to come home, but when he came she greeted him with a smile, but not a kiss. He came into the room in blank amazement, sat down and stared at her. "Why didn't you kiss me?" he demanded to know.

"I thought," she said, "that you said 1 smothered you with kisses. I thought you said you were tired of being nearly kissed to death. . ! thought—"

"Never mind what, you thought," said he. "Come here and kiss me. When you kiss me nearly to death I think I don't want so many kisses, but when you don't kiss me at all I know that what I want most is to be smothered with kisses aud nearly killed."

American house seems to be up to date. He says he has turkey, auto killed, every few days.

Landlord (Eagle house)—Shucks, that's ain't, rriueh. Why, we, have wild turkey killed by aeroplane."

Expert Opinion. j "Is there any truth in the saying ; that, a woman can fool any roan?" I asked the sweet girl graduate. j 'No,' replied the grass widow. "A

woman can only fool a man who • makes a fool of himself about her."

1 Not in That Line. "TKif young photographer has pro-

: pos-M tii Nell again. He won't take 'no " for » /tnatt'er."

"That's udd. since he's HO u^d to 1 taking negatives."

Below the Face. Pearl—You kissed him? Ruby—I did. ' Pearl—I am more than surprised.

You told me lRst week that you wouldn't kiss any man on the face of the earth.

Ruby—Oh, but this waa below the face, dear. It. happened in the sub­way.

They were fed whole milk until three weeks okj and then were given one-half aklm milk with one-balf whole milk and a little, bran once a day. When" six weeks"'old" they began to nibble oats and hay and Boon grew mightily.

TIMOTHY IS BEST FOR HORSES

Clbver and Alfalfa Also Gotjd Feed, But Too Much of Either Must. !

• Not Be:Fad.--t • Timothy is asually considered the bet t hay for horses. It is true 'that

'tntfy dtf We'll on it.'aTid tlrat it furrrish-et a considerable -amount of fuel and energy value. However, clover and al-frlia are good feed, even for work horses, it the herscs ere not. fed too much of them. Clover and alfalfa are richer in protein than timothy, hence not so much of the former should be Hiven to a horse at one feed, ('lover and timothy mixed, as it is sometimes Krown in meadows, is an excellent hay feed combining the good qualities of both.

It is a n.'.Hake to fill the manger full of hay and allow *he horses to eat all they will at all feeds. The only time a horse should be allowed to eat a full feed of hay is at night while he is resting and wtren there is a long time for digestion. - l i a y , ia _a bulky feed, and distends the digestive or­gans.

A Roman nose.in a home, HUe taw corresponding aquiline shaptj lu a wan, generally indicates etrong individual­ity, often ttccpuiinuiled with great in­telligence.

A straight facial line is quite as often found with a high degree of Intel­ligence, but a dish-faced borae is rarely anything but a nonetity in char­acter or a fool. I have seen a few exception* to this rule, but they only prove It. '

A fine ruuzisle usually denotes a high nervous organization, while a coarse and large muzzle, with small imd non-expansive nostrils and pendulous low­er lip, means stupidity.

A sensitive and trumpet-shaped UOH-tril means courage and intelligence, even when, as it does sometimes, it also means heaves.

A broad iuid full forehead and length from eye to ear are good gen­eral indications of Intelligence, but the eye and ear are the speaking fea­tures of a horse's face.

The ear is more Intelligible even than the eye, and a person accustomed to the house can tell all thut he thinks or m^ans. When a horse lays his ears flat back on his neck, he most assur­edly is meditating mischief, and the bystander should beware of bis heels or teeth. In play the ears will be laid back, but not so decidedly nor so long. A quick change in their po­sition/ and more particularly the ex­pression of the eye- at the time, will distinguish between playfujoess and vice / All experts agree that the ear of the horse is one of the most beau­tiful parts al>ourt him, and by this Is the temper more surely indicated than by its ml'ticn.

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

Keep salt, either rock or barrel, nlpng .within reach of the cattle. Pref­erences differ as to which kind is best.

*A little'grain for the calves 1R es­sential and remember that the first year's growth is the most important in tbeJr lives.

Alfalfa mixed * with other legumes ,pad grasses will provide a great Miount of feed and a pleasing variety .for all classes of cattle. • ,This season is unusually late and pasturage is far behind the average season. It will pay to keep the pas­tures In good thrift and not have them gnawed down to the roots at the be­ginning of summer. »

The'breeding''bull should be kept in a thrifty coiidftjon Jat all times. He needs good care and feed to do this The sire's physical condition at. the time of breeding exerts much influ­ence on the offspring.

QUALITY NEGLECTED FOR SIZE

i In Breeding th« Former Has Been Sncriffteti to the Latter by Many

Farmers and Hog Raisers. i ^

Of late years it has become quite a {fad'with farmers and hog' raisers'to

let our finances run away with us and I breed our stock of almost every kind | more fdr-qualify than for size. It fs

a matter- of fact that wrier we snip live stock to market they sell together by weight, and as a matter of course the adimal or carcass that weighs the greatest number of pounds will com­mand the most money, aurl I {hirtk the habit of breeding more for qual­ity than for size lies in the fault of the judpes in making 1 heir decisions iu Ihe show rings; as I think they award more prises to the little, fthe-spun animals, especially swine, ihan they do'the larger type, declares Mr. Hart, in Kimball's Dairyman. If they would reverse Their' decisions It wtmld let us all know where we ave. and we wouold breed more for size than for quality.

When we make discrimination in favor of quality against size In select­ing our breeding stock, we also dis-crimina.e against prolificacy, as my experience has been tho finer the qual­ity the less prolific, and the weaker the constitution of the animal. Also a great deal of this defect is brought about by too close in-breeding; so therefore, I contend that if we would select our breeding stock of both sexes of larger type with good, strong, heavy bone, wilh sufficient frame to build on and capable of carrying flesh, our hogs would he of stronger consti­tution and more prolific. 1 am not opposed to breeding and raising pure hred stock of any kind. I want them with pedigrees, hut I want them large enough and with a strong constitution to back the pedigree up.

Therefore, brother breeders, let us breed more for size rather than let our fancies for quality overrule our better judgment, and not raise the lit­tle fancy ones that are only fit to look at.

Master's "Props."

Gen. Adalbert R. BufMngton, at ft dinner in Madison, N. J., told a num­ber of civil war jstories.

"Gen. Mahone," he said, "was very thin. One cold and windy December morning in '64 he was taking a nap in his tent when his old colored servant, 'Uncle Davy,' tiptoed in, and, stum­bling in the darkness, knocked down the general's folding cot and spilled him out on the frozen ground.

"Gen. Mahone jumped up furiously, seized a scabbard and made for Davy. Davy ran. The general gave chase.

"Uncle Davy tore up hill and down dale till he was pretty well out ot breath; then he looked back over his shoulder at his master, who bounded after him on slender limbs, blue and thin, his long, while night shirt flut­tering in the chill morning.

AGONIZING ITCHING. -r-r —

Eczema for a Year—Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital—in Despair

USING A LANTERN IN STABLE

Method of Placing Light in Barn to , Get Best Results; No Danger

of Overturning.

A good way to get a good light in stable and avoid all danger of the lan­tern being overturned is to stretch a smooth wire from one end of the barn to the other just back of the horses' stalls. Hang a lantern on a common harness snap and Attach it to the wire and slide the lantern wherever it Is needed. The wire should he high enough in he out of the way.

"I wae troubled with a severe Item­ing and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pim­ples formed and these caused Intense Itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. Idid so, the chief surgeon saying: "I never saw such & bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Tfecn I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up In despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applicatioas of Cuttfirra Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cuti­cura Soap and Pills, and I was com­pletely cured. Henry Searle, l i t t l e Reek. Ark., Oct. 8 and 10, 1907." Petter Drug * Cfceas.

The Childrens Day exercises wera as well attendee1 as umild Imvo be en ex­pected as the weather looked threaten inir. There was not a big crowd but every seat was filled and many in tbe gallery. The exercises were an good as any ever held in the .urcb and by many pronounced tbe oeet. There wab nothing tiresome about the aftair but everyone seemed to enter into the spirit of tbe aftair and all felt well paid for being present. Tbe collect-tion amounted to over $13. Parents, this Sunday school is for you and your children. You want your child reu to attend come yourself—there is a class for you und you will not only help the school by beiug present but will bb a blessing to others.

There was a good attendance, in the evening and the pastor delivered one of his stirring and belptul sermons for which he is noted.

Next Sunday morning the sermon will be for the younjj pecple and children but especially tbe young people,, as this is about the time many are graduating and entering the Bchool of life. Do not miss hear­ing the sermon as all will receive something that will help them.

Did it ever strike you that you cau find whatever yon are looking for whether at church or out? If you are looking for Rood you can find it; it for bad you will find it; or for fault you can find that just as well. Now, what is the use of looking for fault when it is just as easy to find tbe good.

Prayer meeting tonight. Let's see. How long ago was it that you said you could not live a Christian life without the aid of these mid-week services? What are you doing?

Cong'I Church Notes

Child'ens day exercises were wit nessed by a large attendance Sunday morning. Tbe church decorations couid not have been improved. The Children entered into the true spirit of the day. The drill by Mrs. Sykes' class was very pleasing, The Pastor and teachers wish to thank everyone that helped in anyway to make the uccassion so pleasant and we trust profitable. The sermon in the even­ing was exceptionally good. On account of the Baecalarreate address next Sunday evening, there will be no service at this church.

Kept His Word. A young fel low in Havana who oc­

cupied the position of a reporter tvY. in lovo with a girl, the (laughter of ;• wealthy plainer. He applied to In ;• father in the orthodox way for hi: consent to the marriage.

'Tivsuiui i iuous!" said the father, with eyes Hashing. "You, a poverty Htrieken journalist, ami my daughter! Sir, tret out of my presence!"

The journalist was very au«ry. 1 hroun'hr forih a healed declaration o/ pride:

"Your daughter is too good for me. you say? I will marry a princess be­fore I die." And, with head erect, lie left the irate father.

The journalist went to Spain. He wrote poems. The poems were read by the rrineesH Josephine. There w a s a meeting. The t w o fell in love with each other. It is said the journalist was so sincere in his affection that probably lie forgot his declaration to the Havana planter. They were both royally happy, eloped, married in Vnl-ladolid and were eventually pardoner! by Queen Isabella, the one time jour nalist being received with all the re­spect due to his new and high rank.

When Ladies Wore Masks. In the seventeenth century ladies

wore masks in public, and great w a -the variety of face screens that: wer•• seen. Ladies who had "coralline" li;n preferred short masks, as w a s natura'. For others who wished to hide 1? lower part of the face the mask \v;i ; completed by a chin piece of linen. which afterward passed under the chin and over the ears. In 11>rS2 a new mask called the mlmi, from the Ital­ian mimics, was all the rage and threatened to nsnrp the place of the black one. It was even the cause ui violent quarrel* between the ladies who held to the latter and those who preferred the latest novelty. Some years later it became the fashion to trim the upper part of the mask wttli a rnrhe of ls.ee, to lengthen it with a beard of the name material nnd even to cover It more or leas with lace -e tbe borders of the •jeholea. Young ladles of tliis period, however, fre­quently contented themeato^* with COY •ring the face simply wi th a piece of black crape for eoQo*trw% Mice and to appear the fairer.

The atreaina coming from the bills are incased in lee s ix to nlur Inches thick, and as the water de­scends faster than it escapes throu-the river the result is a heavy hydro­static pressure. This tirst causes f!c ice upon the river to rise in inoum! often six to eight feet high. For :: t ime they seem to yield elastically tr. the pressure, but finally can with stand no more and burst with an ex­plosive report. The water rushes our soon freezing, however, and causi]];.; further explosions. The writer asseii -that he has seen scores of these !<•(• hillocks within a few miles.

RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION.

Chicago's Greatest Amusement EntO*> p w e Completed at a Cost

of $5,000,000.

None of Chicago's othsr marveloa» achievements equal the great amuse* ment enterprise it has Just launehs4 RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION.

This exposition surpasses everythinsj of i ts character since the original World's Fair. Five million dollars wa* expended to make It a crowning gem m Chicago's coronet of beautiful parka. Last season 7,600,000 persons via i tee the exposition. This year it will ac­commodate 10,000,000. A trip to Chi­cago would be incomplete without a Visit there.

RrVBRVIEW EXPOSITION sm> passes Caesar's ancient Circus Maximo* where 5,000 dancers entertained Rome. Five thousand dancers could be lost ia any one of its courts, esplanades, caweewuys or wooded proves. That many show girls, trick riders, Indians and cowboys are used In ita "Frontlet Day Fetes alone.

Twice as many are accommodated m the amphitheater, where Mexican bull fights occur. Wild bulls und daring Toreadors dally enact thrilling contests for life and death. A Spanish band of 100 pieces discourses national music. Many military bands render open air concerts. The industrial exhibit includes wireless telegraphy, flying machines, dirigible balloons, aeroplanes and other mechanical marvels.

RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION'S match­less attraction is "The Creation." This stupendous sconle spectacle, animated by Biblical characters of the CI,mien of Eden, is destined to attract world-wide attention. It 1H the product of the penius of E. W. McConnell, builder of several world's fairs, and hla staff Of a hundred artists.

The scone is the Valley of ths Eu­phrates where tradition locate* Bden. Awed spectators view as near to Its re­production as man may conceive The great religious drama closely follows the Scripture.

"There is first a void, (lien darkness. dawn and lipht; separation nf the sky, the earth and the waters; tho beginning of life in the air and the waters, birds and fishes, creeping and crawling things, celestial anthems of unseen spirit bands; the creation of Adam and Eve, their temptation, transgression and expulsion by Ansel Gabriel, who drives them forth with a llamintf sword."

A preat $::5,000 pipe origan intones ap­propriate music. Its deep tubes produce thunder, and Its flute-like notes the mimicry of forest small life. Flashes of lightning and angry storms are made by electrical and water effects. Spaot forbids an adequate description of this magnificent spectacle.

Another preat novelty Is "The Racee*" an English panorama. Fifty horses at* tached to chaises raise over the high* way to Coventry.

RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION'S "Ce*ft of Honor" has never been equaled sine* the Ancient Hanging Gardens of Baby­lon. Its center is a lapoon of crystal water, through which flash myriads ef silver and Rold fish. The limpid edjf* are fringed with emernld lawn set •§ rows of stately Lombardy poplars. Qes> eade fountains play prismatic spraf* high overhead and cooling mists flOSJt downward Into the lagoon. Fantasd* facades and white pavilions gleam through the trees as a marble settlnc for the beautiful landscape.

"Over Niagara Falls" reproduces e* a mammoth soals the famous water­falls.

The inspiring strands of great bands, softer tones of orohentraa, Rounds of merriment from Joyous throngs, sunlit waters and forestry, gay show-places, the whirr of aerial oars and flying ma-

£lnea, whittles of miniature railroads, cAltzation ef the animals of "Circle D
