“Here should be located the township library, which should • contain books selected with the:jview of meeting the demands of the community and which should have arrangements for distributing books by means of transportation hacks and the free delivery mail system. It should have a small farm, equipped for scientific ele­mentary nature study or agricul­ture . it should have manuel train-

Finally, it. should have for teachers ihe best prepared men and women, who have chosen teaching as their life work, who shall live in the community and who shall be paid respectable salaries. But, as I have said many times, this move­ment of centralizing schools must come from the people as a result of education, and its consumma­tion will be determined by the de­gree with which it meets the needs of the people.”

Kewanna Herald.The merchants who use ihe local

paper as a medium through which they make known to their custom­ers the various bargains they have to offer, are thereby making a bid for your trade. They toll you of the bargains they have to offer, which is really to the advantage of the public and is read as eagerly as a news item. The merchant who does not advertise his goods may have bargains but. refuses to tell the people about them, or his prices may be so high that he suffers by comparison.

, Tells Guests at Lord Mayors Banquet of Distress in

London.

CALLS ON WEALTHY TO GIVE AID

Bejewcled Woman and Uniformed Men Listen in Respectful Silence to Tale of Misery and Want Among the Working Classes.

London cablegram: Prime Minister Balfour made the new lord mayor’s banquet Thursday night remarkable by an appeal -to the guests in behair o f (be unemployed.

It is customary at these banquets, although they frequently are the oc­casion for making important minis­terial statements, to avoid domestic and especially controversial politics. Balfour created a precedent by raising a question dealing with the suffering poor nf London.

Heralded in accordance with an­cient custom by the blast o f silver trumpets, tho premier rose at a ta­ble which was loaded with gold plate and every costly adjunct, to a great banquet and in a solemn and eym- pathetic manner raised tho skeleton | at the feast.

Says Rich Must Help.As ho dealt pathetically with the

misery revealed by the recent visit, to him of a deputation o f women and pictured the tragedy <if family life broken up by want the nLmost still­ness foil upon the throng o f gorge­ously uniformed men and bejeweled women. It was Lazarus at the gate appealing to Dives through the chief guests :<t a rich man’s table.

Balfour pointed out the difficulties in the way of remedying tho misery arising from tho lack o f employment. He dwelt especially on (he economical question of how to lighten the burden o f suffering in the future. A t the con­clusion of his careful, sympathetic statement ho told his audience that it was their duty to help.

How to Aid Deserving.He referred to tho hill the govern­

ment recently passed dealing with the unemployed, which, he said, was based upon a careful system of selecting tho reserving eases and avoiding the abouse o f charity. H e urged every man and woman present to regard it as their duly lo see that adequate as­sistance was given through the chan­nel o f a new law to those who. by timely help, may be prevented from joining the helpless, hopeless class, which *s a hurden to the community ,;.iu a disgrace to civilization.

Referring to foreign affairs, the prime minister remarked upon the i great movement the Russians are making in ihe direction o f freedom. He said the task before the czar and his advisers is in no way a light one. tut that all Brit.ot:s wished success to those who are working for ordered rrogress. He earnestly hoped that un­der tho guidance o f the czar and hi?, ministers happiness would be brought to Russian millions by a movement unsullied by ihe horrible scenes which made lamentable ils initial progress.

World Peace Is Assured.He spoke sanguinely on the pros­

pects of peace throughout the world, lie believed the future would see no wars. Unless some nation should arise which fe lt it could not carry Out its schemes of aggrandisement without, trampling on the rights o f its neighbors he did not sec a prospect for any such calamity in Europe. Ii would be, Indeed. a tragic- reversion ■ o tho ancient days, he said, if Europe had again to form a coalition agains1 any too ambitious power.

Recalling that exactly a century ago Pitt, on a similar occasion, had proph­esied a long war. he said he was re­joiced lo feel he might predict, so far as human foresight is possible, for Great Britain and the world a long

FEDERAL HELP IS NOT NEEDED BY BROKERS

Secretary Shaw Says Conditions in Wall Street Do Not Call for

Aid From Government.

New York dispatch: Secretary Shaw was in Wail street Thursday, and as (a ll money rales were higher than they had been since 1903, a re­port was circulated that he had come to cor.su-i bankers with a view o f de­positing United Slates funds here to relieve the s: rlngency.

Mr. Shaw had no such purposo in view. He came here to attend the re­ception to General Porter at. the Union League club. The secretary docs not think the local financial situation re* cuircs assistance from him. He be­lieves conditions are temporarily and purely local, and that the situation will automatically relieve itself.

Bankers generally also believe ibis and are rather pleased at the slate ot affairs. The high money rate8 were accompanied by a violent break Ir. sterling exchange, which makes ex­ports absolutely impossible.

Prominent bankers expressed the opinion (hat Thursday’s stock market raid was simply a bear attack de­signed to g ive certain strong int.er- es'.s a chance to buy stocks which they sold recently at higher prices. It is a!so said that some strong interests have forced the decline in ihe belief that a bull market in midwinter must he based or. lower prices than those which havo recently prevailed.

END UNIQUE ELECTION AMID SCENES OF RIOT

Plant of Newspaper That Supports Mayor Coyle at Madiscn, II!.,

Is Wrecked.

St. Louis, Mo., special: F. A. Jones a printer, reached here with the in­formation that the office o f Ihe Tri- City Advocate o f Madison, III., which supported Mayor Coyle against the Garesehe faction, bad been wrecked during Tuesday evening.

This, with the disappearance of Coyle and his family from Madison, following i t o election o f Garesehe, whose ticket was the only one on the ballot, are incidents o f one o f the most unique elections in Ihe history o f Illinois.

The Garesehe faction, armed, had compelled the trustees to declare an election in spite o f ihe order o f Mayor Coyle declaring Si off. During the day. according to .Toms, E. F. Gallon, edi­tor o f the newspaper, was assaulted, and at night, a crowd o f about fifty men and boys who were celebrating ihe Garesehe victory broke down the door and wrecked the plant.

While ihe destination o f Mayor Coyle and bis family is unknown, his closest friends were informed that he intended to leave town until afteV the election muddle bad been straight ened out. The intense feeling shown by the citizens on the previous even ins frightened him, it Is said.

History of Former Revolt.A revolutionary attempt to over­

throw the Brazilian government failed In t m . The revolt began in the pro- yince o f Rfo Grande do Sul, and, though the military power curbed the insurgents, the spirit o f insurrection was not crushed out until after the navy joined the revolutionary move­ment.

Admiral Mello, in a dramatic with­drawal from the cabinet, attacked President Peixoto. The admiral’s po­litical opponents said his action was aue to his desire to become tho next president.

On the evening o f Sept. 5, 1393 Ad- nnral Mello raised his flag on the Aquidaban. in R i0 Janeiro harbor, Hnd every government vessel in port accepted his command in aid o f tho insurgent cause.

The next morning the admiral sent a message to President Peixoto de­manding bis resignation and the sur- lem.er o f the government. Peixoto defied the admiral and took vigorous measures to frustrate the revolution Congress declared Rio de Janeiro in a state o f siege.

In the meantime President Peixoto became more aggressive and the in­surgents met with a number o f mis­haps. Peixoto purchased a number of ships, converted them into war vcs- f e ’ gradually pained the upper hand. The rebels wore unable to gain a foothold on land.

FELL TROUBLES TO FRIENDS

Commission W ill Hear Plaints of Those Who Have Become Weary of Life and Endeavor to Give Encour­agement and Aid.

Cleveland, O., special: Mayor Tom Johnson, alarmed at the official report that there have been eigbty-six sui* eidcs in Cleveland in the last nine months, has taken steps to check the carnival of sell'-destruction.

H e has appointed a commission, whose duty it will be to attempt to dissuade would-be suicides from taking their own lives.

The commission is made up o f Di­rector o f Charities Cooley, W . A. Grecnlund, a member o f the charity bureau, and State Senator-elect F. C. Howe.

Every man or woman in Cleveland who Is contemplating suicide is Invited to write a letter to tho anti-suieide commission and tell their troubles. The members o f the commission will then make an effort to remove the trouble.

For people despondent from non- ! employment the commission endeav­

ors to obtain employment, while the needs and wants o f others seeking aid aro looked after. A ll three men are experienced in such work, and their labors so far have proved satis­factory.

Number of Suicides Appalling.In discussing the subject further Mr.

Cooley said:“ The number of suicides and at­

tempted suicides in Cleveland is ap­palling. The need o f some means to counteract the condition has been felt, and we have expressed our willing­ness to aid any one who is in the depths o f despair and to whom life no longer seems worth living.

“ How many suicides would be pre­vented if tho sick, poor, and despond­ent had friends to go to, a place to get relief?

“ Of tho eighty-six suicides in the first nine months o f this year, the one word, ‘despondency,’ is tho keyword of all.

“Hard drinking, lack c f work, sick- rcss, domestic trouble, lead men to suicide. Sickncss, domestic trouble, lives o f shame, drivo women to sui­cide. The records show that the lat­ter cause is more frequent iu the case o f women.

“ Women usually choose to end their lives with carbolic acid; men with pistols or knives. O f the eighty-six Suicides sixty-thrco were men and twenty-three women. Most o f theso wereTTred of life, and had one of our commission been able to Bee them I am sure they would be living today.

“ In nearly every case tho kind word o f a friend or helper w ill pre­vent self-destruction. And we are w illing—yes, anxious— to extend aid to all disheartened people.’’

American Missionary Who Escaped Massacre Describes Cruelty.

Hongkong cable: Dr. Machlc, the American missionary who escaped the massacre at Liencliow, stated that when the disturbances commenced the mob seized Miss Chesnut and Mrs. Machle and exposed them to public view in the Chinese temple. Amy Maclile, the doctor’s 10-year-old child, was carried off and filing alive into the river. The rioters stripped Miss Chesnut naked and flung her Into ihe river. While the two were struggling In the water Chinamen speared them with tridents. Miss Chcsnut's body and Amy Maehle’s head were pierced. Mrs. Machle appealed to the rioters, but the mob stoned her brains out, stripped the body and flung it into the river. The mob. lie added, captured Mr. and Mrs. Fcalo, stripped them naked, exposed them for fifteen min­utes, clubbed Mr. Peale to death in his w ife ’s presence, and subsequently killed Mrs. Peale in tho same brutal fashion.

Washington special: General O. H.

General Burton and officers o f his rank, discussing de­sertions in the army, says: “ The best judgment o f tho army is that if the ex­change wore to furnish tho soldier with light beer, under the supervision o f tho commanding officer, it would re­sult in greater contentment and in minimizing the crime of desertion.” General Burton recommends an in­crease o f the coast artillery from the field artillery. He also recommends that a chief o f Infantry and cavalry lie established.

Private Agency,

AGED VICTIM SLAIN FOR CASH

Robbers Got More Than $2,000 inMoney and Several Diamonds—Friends of the Prisoners DeclareThey Are Innocent.

Helena, Mont., dispatch: The arrest o f H Ray Long. Edward W. Taylor, and A. J. Ileinickc, charged with tho murdor o f Samuel Studs'inskl at Lew- istown, this state, last August, has created more excitement than the nows o f the murder.

The accused are prominent in the community in which they live, and two o f them have been activc both in social and business circles. Long and Taylor are both married. The former is foreman of the Montana Lumber company at Lowlstown, one o f the largest lumber concerns in the stsjte. Taylor is head salesman for a hard­ware concern, and has taken an ac­tive interest in social affairs. Heinicke formerly was a printer, but recently has been a traveling salesman.

Murder Was Cold Blooded.No murder in recent years in Mon­

tana has so stirred the people as that of Stud’/.inski. Jt was cold blooded and heartless, and the sole object was robbery. Studzinski was an old man, a hide and pelt buyer and money lend­er. He had no faith in banks and kept his property in the house he oc­cupied all alone.

Investigation after the murder showod that some one who knew the old man, and whom he knew, had called on him that night. They evi­dently had deceived the old man by telling him they wanted to borrow money. He had gone to a trunk in which he kept his money and pledges, and as he stooped over it with the top open he had been struck on the head, the blood falling into the trunk.

Leave Mystic Sign.In the room was found a large

knife, a curio, which the old man had picked up on his travels. It was cov­ered with blood and was supposed to be the weapon with which the murder was committed. Pinned on the breast of the old man was a placard, writ­ten in the blood of the victim, read­ing: “ K. C., No. 17.” A similar placard was fastened to the stove. The letters were well formed, show­ing It was the work o f a good pen­man. T lie robbers got not Jess than $2,000 in casil and a number of dia­monds.

Tho local officers'arrest ed four men, but they were discharged, proving they could not have committed Ihe crime. Early In September a private detective from Spokane arrived at Lewistown. W oo employed him is not known, but he is supposed to have been sent by the brother o f the murdered man. a wealthy jeweler at San Francisco. He was joined by his chief and the arrest followed.

Friends o f the accused scout, the idea o f tholr guilt, but the detectives say they have no fear o f the outcome of the case.

WORST BANK FAILURE HE EVER INVESTIGATED

Examiner Says Enterprise National Depositors Are Mostly Small

Wage-Earners— Lose All.

Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch: Special Ex­aminer Edward P. Moxey and Receiv­er John D. Cunningham of the Enter­prise National bank held a conference Wednesday with United States Dis­trict Attorney John W . Dundle re­garding the affairs o f the hank. A fter the meeting, however, Mr. Moxey spoke freely on the fearful condition of tho Knterpriso National bank.

“ The Enterprise failure is about the worst I ever investigated, and I ’ve handled many,” said Mr. Moxey.

“ Have you been able to account for any o f the $700,000 or $300,000 missing from the bank, and will the amount rcacli lhat figure?”

“ It is worse than that.” he replied, 'but I cannot give any definite infor­mation.”

"How many depositors has the bank?"

“ I presume there are over 3,000. It is really distressing to sec tho scenes that are witnessed there every day. There is not a day passes hut that I have the heartache. Most of the accounts In the bank were Interest accounts, kept principally by small wage-earnors, and theso depositors wiii fare with the rest. I was much surprised when a man came in the bank and said he had $2,1.00 on de­posit. H e didn’t look i t "

Moxoy was asked if he did not in­tend to make prosecutions, but said it was r.ot his duty to do more than to report to the United States attorney, who could take such action as ho chose.

The department o f justice a t Wash­ington has vetoed the move of Re­ceiver Cunningham to havo preferred creditors.

CHAPTER XXI.

A Perilous Honeymoon.Never was day so largely and glo­

riously blue since Courtland was a city as the first morning’ of tho mar­ried life of Maurice and Margaret von Lynar, Count and Counted yon Loen. The summer floods had subsided, and the tawny dye had clean gone out of the Alla, which was now as clear as aquamarine, and laved rather lhan fretted the dark green piles o f tbe Summer Palace.

Tbe Princesses {so they said with­out) were more than ever inseparable. They were constantly talking confi­dentially together, for all the world like schoolgirls with a secret.

“ There Is something toward to­day,” said a deccnt widow woman who lived in the Konlgstra3se to her neigh­bor. “ My sen, who as you know Is a chorister, is gone to practice the Wedding Hymn at the cathedra,!. T am going thither to get a good place. I will not miss it, whatever it is. Per­haps they are going to make the Princess Joan do penance for her fault, in a white sheer with a candle in her hand a yard long! That would be rare sport. I would not miss ir. for eo much as four farthings!"

And the chorister's mother hobbled off, telling everybody she met the same story. And so in half an hour the news had spread all over the city, and there began to be makings of quite a respectable crowd in the Dom Platz o f Courtland.

It, was half past eleven when the archers o f the guard appeared at tbe entrance o f tho square which leads from tbe palace. Behind them, rank upon rank could ho seen the lances ol ihe wild Cossacks o f Prince Ivan's es­cort who had remained behind when the Muscovite army went back to tbe Russian plains. Their dusky goat's- hair tents, which had long covered

"Now, you have my leave to go !” The Princess spoke calmly, and to the eyr even a little coldly.

The door closed upon the Swedish maiden. Margaret and Maurice turned to each other with o re pregnant in­stinct and took hands.

"A lready!” said Margaret faintly, \ going back into the woman; "they j might have left us alone a little long­er. How shall we meet this? What shall we do? I had counted on this ono day."

“ Margaret," answered the Sparhawk impulsively, "this shall not daunt us. We would have told your brother Louis o re day. W e will tell him now. Duchess Joan is safe out o f his reach, Kcrnsberg is revictualed, the Musco­vite army returned. There is no need to keep up the masquerade any longer. Whatever may come o f it. let us go to your brother. That w ill end it. swiftly, at all events.” The Princess put away his restraining clasp and came closer lo him.

"N o— no,” she cried; “ you must not..' You do r.ot know my brother. He is wholly under tbe''-influence of Ivan o f Muscovy. fx»u:s would slay you for having cheated him of his bride— Ivan for having forestalled him with me."

“ But you cannot marry Ivan. That were an outrage against the laws o f God and M an!"

“ Marry Ivan !" she cried, to the full as impulsively as her lover; “ not though they set ravens to pick the live flesh off my bones! But yet the thought of torture and death for you — that I cannot abide. W e must con- tiuue to deceive them. Let me think! — let me think!”

Hastily she barred the door which led out upon tbe corridor. Then tak­ing Maurice’s hand once more She led him over to the window, from which- she could s*»e the green Alla cutting its. way through the city bounds and presently escaping into tbe yet green­er corn lands on its way to the sea.

“ It Is for this ono day’s delay that we must plan. To-night we w ill cer­tainly escape. I can irust certain of those o f my household. I have tried them before. * * * * j have it. Maurice, you must be taken ill - l ie down on this couch away from the light. There is a rumor o f the Rlack Death in the e!ty— wo must build on that.

And with the noiseless tread pecu­liar to most, blonde women of large physique, Thora disappeared through the private door by which she had 3n* lered.

The Princess Margaret kneeled down by the couch and looked into the face o f the Sparhawk. Even she who had seen ihe wonder was amazed and almost frightened by the ghastly effect the drug had wrought in such short space.

“ You arc sure that you do not feel any ill c ffccts—you are perfectly well?” she said, with tremulous anx­iety in her voice.

The Sparhawk smiled and nodded reassuringly up at her.

“ Never better,” be said. “ My nerves are iron, my muscl«s steel. I feel as if, for my Margaret's sake, I could vanquish an army single-hand­ed !”

The Princess rose from her place ami unlocked the main door.

"W e w ill be ready for them," she said. “ A ll must appear as though we had no motive for concealment."

Then with deft hand she opened the hot lie, and pouring a little o f the color­less liquid info a cup she gave it him to drink. In a few minutes a sickly pallor overspread Maurice von Lynar’s brow. His eyes appeared injected, the lips paled to a grey white, bead!? o f perspiration stood on the forehead, ard his whole countenance took on the hue and expression o f mortal sick­ness.

“ Now," said Thora, when she had finished, “ w ill the noble lady deign to swallow one o f these pellicles, and In ten minutes nor. a leech in tho country- wili be able to pronounce that she Is not suffering from a dangerous dis­ease.”

“ You are sure, Thora.” said the Princess Margaret almost fiercely, laying her hand on the tirewoman’s wrist, “ that, there is no harm in all j this? Remember, on your life be it !"

The placid, flaxen-haired woman turned with the little silver box in her hand.

“ Danger there is, dear m istress” she said softly, "but not, T think. so great danger as we aro already in. But I w ill prove my honesty— ”

were on the pleasant. creep er-sh*$#d terrace which looks over the rose- garden of tbe palace of Courtland down aipon the blue sea plain o f the Baltic, now stretching blue black from verge to verge under the imminent sun of noon.

“ y ou would desert, me, Ivan.” Prince Louis was saying, in a tone at once appealing and childishly aggressive: “ you would leave me in tho hour oi need. You would take away from me my sister Margaret, who alone has in­fluence with the Princess, my w ife !”

“But you do not. try to court the lady with any proper fervor,” object ed Ivan, half humoring and half irri­tating his companion; “ you observe none o f the rules. Speak her soft, praise her eyelashes—surely they arc- worthy of all praise; give her a pel lamb for a playmate. Keed her with conserves or honey and spice. Surely such comfits would mollify even Joan of the Sword Hand!”

“ Tush!—you flout me. Ivan—even you. Everyone despises me since— since she flouted me. The woman.is a tigress, I tell you. Every time she looks at. me her eyes flick across me like a whlp-Iash!"

(To be continued.)

It is time that every dairyman should carefully consider what he is going to feed his cows during the coming winter. Those who havo an abundance o f clover hay havo much to bo thankful for, as this contains a large proportion o f protein, so es­sential in milk production. He that can give his cows all the good hay they w ill consume need give no thought to the high price ot commer­cial foods:

One o f Ihe very best grain rations to go with clover hay is a combination o f half and half ground oats and bar­ley, oats and corn or oats and wheat. If there is not clover, wild hay, tim­othy or corn fodder must take its place. As these are all deficient in small amount o f linseed meal or some other highly nitrogenous food to bal­ance up the ration, or if there is an abundance o f oats at hand they may be made the principal of the grain ration, as they are very rich in protein. Either good wild hay, timothy or corn fodder, or a com­bination of two of these or of all three with a grain ration made up almost exclusively c f ground oats makes as cheap and almost satisfactory a ration as can be compounded by science. If the good milkers are given all o f this roughage they w ill consume, and about one pound of ground grain to each cwt, of the animal fed, and divided into two feeds, there is no doubt that, the results w ill be satisfactory, pro­viding the cows are inclined to give milk, are comfortably housed, regu­larly fed and receive kind treatment W e would, of course, prefer some sort o f succulence, as roots, or to have the corn fodder in the shape of silage.

W hile we have come to believe that the silo is the best and the cheapest means of handling corn fodder, we do not claim that silage is indispensable in obtaining good results, as we have ourselves made quite ordinary cows bring a revenue o f ?50 per year with­out either roots or silage.

Fall pruning o f the vine is much more prevalent than formerly, and is fast growing in favor. The prejudice that February only was the proper time to prune vines is fast passing away. Although the vine has yielded its fruit and lost, its foliage, the sap Is still at work performing its func­tions in maturing and ripening the w.ood. This being the case it. is fair to presume that the less it has to do. i e., the less wood it has to ripen, the more perfectly it w ill do ils work; hence the removal of all wood not needed fo r next pear's fruiting is so much relief to the vine. The wood if to be used for propagating pur­poses is all the better for not being hardened sufficiently to stand expos­ure during winter. The weather this month is milder and more favorable for pruning and more comfortable for the operator than mid-winter. The snow, and often intense cold, render winter pruning anything but an agree­able job.

Alfonso and the Anarchist.Still a stream of anecdotes from

Pans about King Alfonso. He Is said lo have a prejudice against asses, and when his automobile ran over a Span­ish ass near San Sebastian the other day he compensated the owner liber­ally, and then remarked, “ I wish there were no asses In my dominions." AI San Sebastian he went into a tobac­conist's shop io buy cigarettes. There was another customer In the shop, who seemed anxious to escape ob­servation. The king looked at him and thought his features familiar, then remembered a portrait of One o: the Spanish anarchists arrested after the bomb explosion in Paris. " I see, said the affable mot: arch, with a laugh, "you aro one o f the anarchists arrested by mistake. You had noth­ing to do with the affair, o f course. It v. as some other follow. Well, well, the police w ill make their little blun­ders sometimes!"— London Chronicle.

downtown corners says that a cotmf.ry- man approached him and said:

" I ’m lookin' for my cousin. Thought perhaps you cud tell me where to find him. I don't know where he lives or

hai. he does."“ What’s his name?” asked the po­

liceman."Smith." •“ Stand over there on the cornet

and holler •Smith,’ ” said the officer “ Maybe he'll be in (he crowd that answers.”— Kansas City Times.

Potatoes to be used for seed ought to be-selected the previous fall. Only medium-sized tubers should be used. The practice of selecting small pota­toes o f unmarketable size for seed is contrary to the principles o f plant breeding. Growers should select seed which Is typical o f the potatoes they wish to produce. Neither the largest r.or smallest ate best, but those of uniform size.

These potatoes during the winter should be kept in a cool cellar, where they w ill be subject neither to frost nor to heat from the furnace. I f a cellar furnishing the proper conditions

.'cannot be secured, then the potatoes •should be banked in the fall and cov­ered securely wiih straw and earth to keep them from freezing.

It is often thought that in order tc get good seed potatoes it Is nec­essary to purchase from Maine each year, or from some point farther north. This practice, while occasion­ally advisable, is not necessary each year. If we select our best tubers for seed and keep them as they should be kept, they w ill bo as good seed potatoes as can be secured anywhere.

In cutting the seed tubers each piece cut should be o f good size, and should contain one bud or more. Tho number of buds which is contained in each piece o f potato is not so im­portant as it is that each piece be of good si/.e. The cutting should re­ceive the personal supervision o f the farmer, and not bo intrusted to hired help, unless it is most reliable.

I f the potatoes are cut into long, thin strips, a large surface is exposed from which evaporation, takes place. Where the planting Is followed by

FALL PLANTING .

There is doubtless a question in the minds of many about planting in the fall or waiting until spring. It may be that there are only a few trees grape vines or berry bushes to be planted, but to those who need these few things it is a matter o f impor­tance.

The decision as to whether or not to buy and plant in the fall largely de­pends on where It is to be done. In the prairie States north o f Texas, I would say not to do it, but over a large portion of the country, especially east o f Ohio and Kentucky, I would say to plant at that time. The objection to fall planting in the central part o f the country is the damage that comes from the drying out of the tops and roots during following winter, be­fore they have become firmly fixed in the ground. The sudden changes of temperature and especially the long and windy cold spells are very trying to newly planted trees. It is not so bad on berry bushes or anything that does not have much exposed sur­face above ground. Where the cli­mate is moist and they arc planted early enough to form rootlets before cold weather, there is likely to be ability to safely endure it: but when there arc not roots with tender, ab­sorbent parts, and in moist soil, to take up water to replenish that which is carried off through tho tops there is sure to be injury done.

In many eases it is a decided ad­vantage lo plant in the fall, in near­ly all parts o f the Fast and South and on the Pacific Slope, this Is true. Nor should the ordering be put off until late. The earlier the nursery­men have the orders the sooner they can prepare to fill them, and the sooner they can be delivered. The cost is usually a little less in fall than in spring, and sometimes the stock is of a better grade.

One thing that can be done almost anywhere is to buy nursery stock in the autumn and heel in or bury until spring. Then it can bo taken up and planted in good season, and often be­fore it is possible to get it from the nurseries at that time of year. Put the heeling-in must be well done. The soil should be lifted and trampled well between the roots after opening all large bundles, and the earth piled up lo their tops. In the prairie region I used to literally bury all stock that I got in the fa ll and it paid me to do it.

INSTITU TE NOTES.

The farmer's institute is nor com­plete without the farmer's w ife ami daughter. They take more interest in the discussions than the good man imagines. They aro entirely compet­ent to take part and should be in­vited and urged to do so.

The institutes that, do not have night sessions make a mistake. The townspeople should always be invited to these and the addresses should be o f a character to interest, both town and country. Townspeople are more interested In farm matters than farm­ers sometimes imagine, and every night session of an institute would do much to awaken interest in the day discussions and promote good feeling between the town and coun­try.

The institutes are teaching farmers how well they can talk on farm ques­tions. W e have seen many a farmer, when called upon to speak on some topic on which he was known to have experience declare positively that he could not. do so. When at last, he was good naturedly forced to give his views, he surprised both himself and his neighbors by the fluency and fit­ness o f his remarks.

The institues are showing farmers how they may cooperate in many ways; for example, in mutual Insur­ance, in co-operative buying and sell­ing, in the establishment of horse companies, creameries, canning fac­tories and other enterprises which fail without active cooperation. They arc fast molding the different ele­ments in a community in to a harmon­ious whole embuing them with a com mon life, showing them how nearly they are brcl.hern in fact as well as In name. Americanizing the foreign­er and teaching the native American the sterling virtues which a large per cent o f our foreign population have. Out o f this harmonious blending will arise ono of tho finest examples of independent, self-reliant, intelligent, farm life (hat any country has ever seen.

In many important European mark­ets receipts o f American apples have practically doubled every year for the past, years. In 1901 there were exported from this counrty 1,0110,000 barrels o f apples. In 1902, 2,200,000 were shipped out. Cold storage and rapid transit have brought the whole world in touch with the Ozark apple grower. Apples have been sold in Hamburg and Liverpool within 18 days from the time they hung on the trees in our Oxark orchards.

- -Exchanjcc.

A study o f prices on farm products for 40 years reveals the fact that while all other staple agricultural products have cheapened, the aver­age price o f marketable apples has increased and first class apples put on the market now bring a higher price than in any previous decade.

Mr. M iller of Nebraska writes: “ 1 enclose you some leaves from what I bought for Vincennes grape. Can you tell me what it is? 1 also bought such things as Paeonies, and I find by good authority that the nurseryman who furnished the stock has sent, me Yuc­ca. I bought Althea and Hydrangea, and they furnished Lilacs. I spent. $50 and have but. little that I bought, and nothing true lo name.”

In reply to Mr. Miller will say that it is only another instance of mis­placed confidence. It. was his duty before placing an order o f this size with an agent to know positively if the company that he represented ex­isted, and that he was going to gel fa ir treatment. It is no worse than the patent-right swindler, the cloth- vender, the Bohemian oat.s graft and dozens o f other swindles that are all the time being perpetrated. W e think it is a fair rule to adopt to only deal with firms at home, or those that ad­vertise in reputable farm papers, who have a standing not only at home but abroad.

The leaves received in the letter are not from grapes at. all, but. are currant leaves, showing conclusively that cur­rant. bushes had been substituted for grape vines.

This beautiful large tree is a mem­ber o f the magnolia family. In some sections it is known as yellow poplar cr white wood tree and in others as the tulip tree. The large tulip-shaped, fragrant flowers appearing in .Tune readily suggest this latter name. The leaves arc large, fresh looking and most singularly lobed. their peculiar form having given rise to a local name in some places of the "fiddle tree." Their fall coloring is a pleasing yel­low. It is in the winter season that its handsome, evenly tapered trunk, especially in young specimens, can be admired.

posing o f fine photographs have been devised, for It’s no longer the fashion to keep them hidden away in cabinets for the mere joy o f possession. W il­liam Morris’ theories are becoming more and more widespread, especially the one which demands a use for every­thing that Is about.

A plain wooden screen was called upon to create one of these uses for photographs. The wood was stained a dull brown, one o f the innumerable

[Original. IMy dear w ife came to me literally

from out the deep. One afternoon tho mate called to me from the forecastle that he s h w a boat on the starboard quarter. The events that followed in rapid succession are as fresh in my mind as on that eventful day. but nev­er till now have I been completely hap­py, for not since then till now have I been free from dread.

I ordered tbe vessel pul off a couple o f points, and as we neared the boat I could see that it was an officer’s boat, probably the captain's that had belonged to some ship. I could see something lying in the bottom, and as we got the boat under our bows it was plain that the something was a wom­an. She was brought aboard uncon­scious and carried below. I gave up my room to her aud directed that she have every attention. The truth is that when I saw her lying on the deck oblivious to all about her there was something in her face that drew me strangely to her.

•ai-s soon as she was provided fo r 1 ordered her boat to be hauled on deck, and I examined It. It was an old boat, and it had been so battered that I could not read the name. There was noth­ing about It to identify it. A t 9 o'clock that night tho woman came to herself, but the stewardess said that she was too weak to be questioned. The next morning the newcomer had revived sufficiently to talk, but said that she could not remember a single event in her past life. I had known a similar case where a man had been shipwreck­ed and nearly starved. On recovering consciousness he had, like this woman, forgotten the past. I directed the stew­ardess to search the woman's clothing for some mark, aud she found on an undergarment the letter Q. This was all there was iu the way o f possible identification.

In time the woman came on deck and sat wrapped in blankets, revived by the fresh air. For the want of a better name we called her Miss Qucery. Site was about twenty-two years old, but whether she had been married or not o f course we couldn’t tell. Not all o f us considered her pretty, but t:o me there was something Infinitely more engaging in her expression than mere beauty, an expression reflecting some great past grief. I took her into my heart, aud she has kept; her place there to this day.

W e had picked up Miss Quftery not far out o f New York on a voyage to the Pacific and Japan. I insisted on her making the ship her home until we returned to America, for, in the first place, I loved her, and in the sec­ond common humanity forbade my leaving her In a foreign country to shift for herself. She had no other course but to accept my hospitality and completed the loug voyage with us.

Our return was one persistent plead­ing that she would become my wife. She resolutely declined on the ground that she might have a husband. In vain I argued that the chances were that one o f her age was not likely to have been married. She said she would not take that one chance. At tbj same time she gave every evidence that she loved me. Indeed, the fact that we must be separated by an uncertainty was as great a grievance to her as to me.

Before sailing on another voyage I discussed with her what course we should pursue, I proposed that we take action to discover her identity. Then i f she had not been married our course would be plain. I f it came out that she had a husband living, she could choose between us.

“ Your past life is blotted out,” I said, “ and there is no law to prevent your marrying whom you like.” To this she replied, “ Suppose after marrying you It should come to my knowledge that I had a husband, would you consider it my duty to leave you:” “ Certainly not,” I replied. “ I f you knew today} you had a husband living, a husband identified with that past obliterated life, and married me, I would not blame you.”

This ended the argument, fo r she gave her consent, though the marriage was to be o f the Scotch order, simply mutual pledges In presence o f w it­nesses.

Three voyages my w ife made with me, during which we were both su­premely happy. A t times 1 noticed a dread cross her brow and knew what she feared. But 1 laughed at her fears aud assured her that on tho high seas nothing could part us.

W e were stopping at a hotel between our third aud fourth voyages. One morning my w ife took up a morning paper—she always scanned the papers when ashore—and, suddenly glancing at her, 1 saw her shiver with some in­tense emotion. As soon as she had col­lected herself she said:

“ I t has all come back to me." And, handing me tbe paper, she pointed to an item giving an account o f the kill­ing o f Kiohard Quinlan, a seafaring man, in a drunken broil iu a sailors’ boarding house. “ My husband!” she exclaimed. “ H e was drunk when he put me In the boat. I had lived a life of horror with him and was glad when he senc me out on to the ocean to die.”

Ciod.— Tennyson.

(C op yr igh t. 1905, b y D a lly S to ry Pub. Co.)When Harry Emmerson came home

crowned with success and honor, the •uppermost thought in his mind was of Helen Ashton. It was not only upper­most, but all-pervading... Sweet as .were the anticipations o f his parents’ pride and joy over his accomplish­ments, even these were secondary to the welcome he expected to receive from his boyhood sweetheart.

To be sure, no formal engagement existed between them, but It had been tacitly understood when he went forth into the world that when he attained h sufficient measure o f success he would return and claim her for his own bride.• Tho struggle had been fiorce and consuming. Success had not descend­ed upon him l ik e 'a gentle dove. It never does In real life. He had wrested it from an unwilling world by desperate energy, self-abnegating persistence, tireless persistence: With no backing of money or influence the young engineer had found It very hard to get a foot hold in the slippery path to achievement.

It had seemed at first that he never would be given an opportunity to show what ho could do. But with iron determination he had forced him- eelf to be thorough with the inconse­quential things he was set to do and to wait patiently the opportunity he resolutely believed would come to him. Nor was a moment wasted. Every leisure hour was devoted to perfecting himself in all the branches o f his profession.

So when the opportunity came he was thoroughly prepared and able to avail himself o f iL His performances had startled the engineering world and his resources and mastery o f prin­ciples surprised the older engineers. Then, o f course, opportunities crowded upon him and he rose rapidly, until at last h and felt assured career be- rocks o f safety. Ids feet upon the

Then he t»m ed back to the old town and the friends of his boyhood. Then did he feel that he could go back to Helen and lay his heart and his achievements at her feet. Then did he permit himself to go back and hear the old father say, "W ell done,” and to see the light of pride beam in his mother's eyes.

Now, all this had taken much time. Ten years had gone by since ho left, a lad o f 20, to do battlo with the world. He had not taken tiine from his strenuous work to so much as visit the old home. Indeed, he had no desire to do so until he could take with him the laurel wreath. He had corresponded with Helen, but not very regularly, and had kept out of his letters all the tender sentiment ho felt, because he felt that she must come to him only as the crown of suc­cess. Nor did he feel justified in pav­ing court to her until he had proven himself worthy. Now he hastened to her with the consciousness o f his de­serts and eager for hlB bliss.

But the absorbed young man had forgotten that the years had brought their changes and their experiences to other people as well as to him. What, then, was his surprise and dis­may to learn before he had fairly ar­rived at the home town the universal gossip that Helen Ashton was about to bccome the bride o f Herbert Ncl- ruan, the heir to the Nleman millions. A t first he was full o f unreasoning anger and rushed off post haste to accuse her o f fickleness and reproach her for broken faith. But she receiv­ed hltn with such evident cordiality and pleasure and her clear eyes look-

re-ne, self-poised and beautiful as a Greek goddess, he felt a shock as from a bucket of ice water, and instantly it came to his clear Intelligence that while he had been growing in his life she had heen growing in hers. l ie re­alized also that he had established no claim upon her excepting in his own consciousness. He saw the in­justice and selfishness of his years of silence and he saw the poetic justice of the losing o f the main prize of

H e was right. On the way home in his earriaje, Nienian formally laid himself and the Nieman millions at her feet.

When they returned she found Em- merson still there, greatly to her sur­prise.

“ W ell," he said, " I thought I would wait and learn the worst,” he said. "Did he ask you.”

“Yes,” she replied demurely, flush­ing deeply.

"And when a :« you to become a happy bride,” he persisted.

She walked straight up to him and looked Into his eyes mischievously.

"W henever you ask me, you great goose," she said.

Law’s Extremities.Mr. Percival Fitzrusher wore a

frown and his automoblling costume when haled into the justice court on a charge of exceeding the speed limit.

" It ’s an outrage!” he asserted, ve­hemently and repeatedly, but the only iriendly glace he got was from Mr. Footloose Freddy, w'ho was taking things easy in a swaybacked chair and watching the proceedings with inter­est. Mr. Footloose Freddy was also under arrest. His case was called first, and he was fined $20 for vagran­cy. Then the charge against Mr. Fitz- nisher was on, and he, being guilty, was also fined $20 and costs.

“ It ’s an outrage, a miserable out­rage !” lie repeated.

“ It is, fer a fact.” agreed Footloose Freddy.

Which gratuitous consolation so pleased Mr. Fitzrusher that he paid tho fine of Footloose and walked with him from the justice court, continuing his comment upon tho outrageousness o f the proceedings.

“ There’s no such thing as justice In this community/* asserted Mr. Fitz­rusher.

" I should say not, pard,” agreed Footloose Freddy. “ Why, look, Dev nabs you for movin’ an* mo fer slttin’ still. Where does a man get off?”— Seattle Tost Intelligencer.

Received him with such evident cor­diality that his purpose failed.

ed so honestly into his that his pur­pose failed.

Besides, it was a very different person into whose presence he was ushered than the laughing, mischiev­ous, vivacious girl of 16 from whom he had parted ton years ago. As sho came forward to greet him in the full glow o f young womanhood, tall, *€>

Nieman was to take her to the opera.his efforts, after all, as a result o f his blind pride.

More than this, as he talked with her ho fe lt the power of her person­ality and began to wonder if he was not presumptuous in aspiTing to bis beautiful creature, despite all his suc-

ce5fi fact, as he walked the floor that night ho l/«gan to doubt the measure o f his own accomplishments when viewed relatively. Why, indeed, should this glorious creature, upon whom the luxuries o f the world would sit so well, choose a life o f ordinary domesticity when the treasures of the world were laid at her feet. A fter all his success meant only the priv­ilege to keep on working hard, tun­neling more mountains, baffling moro of the difficulties Of nature. l ie never could hopo for great riches. Indeed, he never had coveted them. A liberal increase he was assured o f— but pal­aces and yachts and leisure and travel and princely luxuries he could hope for, if at all, only after many years more of work and then only by chang­ing his motives and his ideals and his methods.

On the other hand, there was Nie­man with all his millions inherited from both his father and his mother, invested in securities which brought an income beyond the hope of spend­ing— he could give her every heart’s desire and permit her to shine as sho was meant to shine. W ith him she could become but a part of his life, and radiate only his achievements. W ith Nleman her own world opened before her. Emmerson admitted this to himself with great bitterness.

Manlike he accepted his conclu­sions as established facts, and even In his repentance failed to declare his love. He showed it plainly enough and railed to hor at his 111-fortune. She was provokingly inscrutable and teaslngly coquettish. Emmerson was driven distracted by her and tho love he had fe lt for the girl sweetheart he had le ft scomcd puny beside the great passion he conceived for the woman ho found.

“ When are you going to Midas' Castle?” ho asked savagely one day.

“When he asks me— maybe," Bhe replied.

“Aro you engaged to him?” he per­sisted.

“ That’s rather impudent,” she re­plied.

“ W ell, if you are not, it is all under­stood, I reckon,” ho went on, disre­garding the danger signals in her eyes. "The Lord knows I don’t blame you. What has a poor devil like me to offer you excepting a decent living and a heart full of love?”

Just then a servant announced Mr. Nieman.

“You never offored me anything as yet,” sho said audaciously, as she arose and turned toward the door.

Emmerson leaped to his feet and started toward her. Just then Nieman entered, tall, cadaverous, his dead- white complexion accentuated by the monocle he affected and Miss Ashton received him warmly, while Emmer­son sank back into his seat with a surly nod.

Nieman was to take her to tho opera, so it seemed, and soon they went, leaving Emmerson still sitting gloomily In his chair.

“ Curse the luck. What did she mean?” he muttered. “ Have I missed still another chance? That fellow looks like he was going to propose to­night.”

Men of Brilliancy Seem Scarce.German professors are supposed to

be as plentiful as sirawherries in June, but the University of Vienna seems to be unable to find men worthy o f occupying some o f its chairs, especially in the medical facul ty. The lute Prof. Nothnagel’s place has heen offered to Prof. Kraus .who however, prefers to remain in Berlin and no medical instructor now in Ans tria scorns to be considered big enough for the place. The chair of hygiene was vacated two years ago by the departure o f Prof. Gruber to Munich. It has not been possible to secure as his successor one o f tho only four men considered sufficiently eminent— Gruber, RubDer, Klugge and Hueppe— wherefore tho professorship will probably be offered to a younger man who has yet to make his reputation.

Engineers Have Successfully Over­come Unusual Difficulties.

In the construction o f the Arriahele- Bulterworth railway, in Cape Colony, unusual difficulties had to he sur mounted, and the result is. from an engineering point o f view, one o f the most remarkable railways In exist­ence. A fter passing through the Kei

ills the line winds round another hill, and then, at the lower level, goes under its own track. This por­tion o f the railway is known as the ‘spiral.” A l. another point the line travels along the bank o f the Manguhi river for two miles aud then doubles back for a mile and a half, so that after covering three and a half miles the train is really only half a mile to the good. This section Is called the “ zigzag,” and, with the spiral, is unique in Soulh Africa. A ll along l.ho K ei heights the route Is through cut­tings or on embankments. Some idea of its extraordinary character may he formed from the statement that in eighteen miles the line falls, or rises, to the extent o f 3.560 l’eet.— Pall Half Gazette.

Get at the Cause.Sacramento, Ky., Nov. 13th (Spe­

c ia l ) - A typical illustration of the way Dodd's Kidney Tills Cure Rheu­matism is well told by Catherine De- vine. who is very well known here. She says:

“ For over four years I was greatly troubled with Rheumatism. It used to take me worst In my leg3 and feet. A t times I would he so had I could not put my feet to the ground. As I am ever seventy-three years o f age I. be­gan to think I was too old to get cured and should have to bear my Rheumatism the best way I could. But I heard about. Dodd’s Kidney Pills and thought I would give them a trial. So I got a box and began taking them. Well, I must say Dodd's Kidney Pills did me a Wonderful lot o f good. They eased the pain from the first., and to­day I am in better health than I have been for many years.”

Strange Blunder of Great Jurist.The proverbial inability of eminent

Attorney General Summon* Assistants to Consultation

at Capital.

BASED ON GARFIELD’S PROMISE

Commissioner of Corporations Deni;s He Entered Into Agreement With Chicago Meat Handlers for Immun­ity in Return for Favors.

Washington special: District Attor­ney Morrison ar.d 0. K. F’agin, assist­ant attorney general, who has been assisting in the prosecution o f the Chi­cago packers, arrived here lute Wed- resday night, for a conference with Attorney General Moody. Commis­sioner o f Corporations Garfield will attend the conference at the Depart­ment o f Juscice.

The packers have set up the plea that, by furnishing Commissioner Gar­field information for his investigation of the so-callcd "beef trust,” they se­cured Immunity from prosecution based on the information so secured. Facts gathered by the commissioner o f corporations about the packing In­dustry were turned over to the attor­ney general and withheld from the re­port. submitted by Mr. Garfield la3t eprlcg.

Garfield Made No Promises.In all probability an affidavit by Mr.

Garfield w ill be. taken back by Mr. Morrison to Chicago, or if necessary the commissioner o f corporations will he summoned to Chicago to testify that ho did in no sense promise the packers or their employes Immunity when he examined them for the pur­pose c f trying lo explain the wide di­vergence between the price o f beef on the hoof and on the block.

Commissioner Garfield has repeated­ly denied lately that he made any promise to the packers, but the ques tion of immunity does not rest alto­gether on whether such promises were made, but rather if the course taken by the bureau o f corporations was such a. sto bestow immunity under the constitution and the provisions o f the anti-trust law, by which a man cannot be forccd to testify against himself.

Law Officials Are Troubled.It is this latter phase of the point

raised by the packers in their plea that is troubling the department ot justice aud has necessitated the tri[> of Messrs. P ise and Pugin to Wash­ington to confer with their superior, Mr- M«>ody.

The importance of the Immunity contention made by the attorneys’ for the paekerH was at first laughed at here., hut as the ttucstlon was more thoroughly studied it has begun to worry che government counsel. The call l’or a general conference in which all the noted lawyers o f the govern menr. will take part dlrervly or indi rectlv. has emphasized the serious ness of the government's case at the present time.

Attorney General Moody has a deep personal concern in the outcome of the prosecution o f the packers at Chi­cago. He hopes t.o get some lasting laurels out o f the case which he ha4 failed to garner so far since he haa been at. the head o f the government’s legal department.

Mr.Wagar's w ife is also enthusiastic in hnr endorsement o f Dr. W illiam s’ Pink Pills. She say« : “ I have tried the pills myself for stomach trouble and have experienced great relief from their use.

President Mitchell Declares Their In­terests Are Reciprocal and Com­

Clinton, Ind., dispatch: President John Mitchell o f the United Mlno- workers of America wras the guest, of the people o f this district Wednesday. Work was suspended at twelve mines and every business house was closed during tthe mass meeting. President Mitchell spoke to about 1,000 school children in the morning, addressed over 5,080 people in the afternoon and delivered a response at a reception In his honor at night.

In the afternoon Mr. Mitchell spoke of the relations of labor to capital. He denied the statement, credited to him that the interests of capital and labor are identical.

“ Their interests are not identical," said Mr. Mitchell. "They are recipro­cal. Tho operators and miners are jointly interested In the production of coal and o f obtaining good markets. Their interests diverge when it comes to dividing the profits o f the industry. The best thing ihe miners and opera­tors ever did was lo establish the joint agreement. No man has ever accused me o f be-ins afraid to strike. W hile 1 am not afraid to strike, I do not believe in such measures except as a last resort.”

COSSACK'S PASSION FOR VODKA.

His StrongHappiness Centered on

Drink and Food. article Ernest Poolo, In his striking article

in the October Everybody’s, on pres­ent conditions in Russia, which he has called “ Peasant Cattle.” quotes a brutal Cossack as follows:

‘T o r what more can a mar, want than vodka? To close tho door o f your room, to lie down on your bed with a bis gallon bottle of vodka lying across your stomach, and plenty o f xood cold meat and eggs on tho chair by your pillow— that’s living. Thank the good God, who only makes us stop meat and eggs In Lent., but lets us keep on with our vodka. W e have a clever trick for these jolly bedroom hours. You put the candle in a little dish of water, so when you booze off tho candle burns on and on till the flame strikes tho water with a big splutter and goes out. This trick was found out hundreds o f years ago, and now we ail know it; ho every one in the village can get drunk ’ wlihout danger o f sotting fire to anything.

“ We havo different ways o f drink­ing. The poor man who can only have one bottle, he sucks It in through a straw, because by drink­ing it slower it gives you the same feeling as if you had two bottles. But the rich Cossack who has three or four bottles— he can just pour it dowu in big glasses.”

FROM TEXAS

Some Coffee Facts From th e Lone Star State.

From a beautiful farm down in Tex­as, where, gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through Ilowery meads, comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffoo habit.

“ When my baby boy came to me five years ago. I began to drink rostun\ Food Coffee, having a feeling that It would he bettor for him and mo than the old kind o f drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it. for it en­abled me, a small delicate woman, to nurse a bouncing healthy • baby 14 months.

“ I have^sinec continued the use of Postum for I havo grown fond o f it, ana have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me o f a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year, causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself.

"M y brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off the old kind o f coffee and using Postum. Ho has become oven-more fond of it than ho wras o f the old coffee.

"In fact the entire family, from tho latest arrival, (a 2-year old who al­ways calls for his 'potie’ first thing in the morning) up to the head o f the house, think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Rattle Creek, Mich.

WIDOW IN RED LEADS REBELS

Orders the Mob to Kill the Governor of Reval, and Is Shot Down by the Soldiers— Army and Police Are Dis­loyal.

Berlin, cable: W illiam T. Stead, fresh from Russia by way of Finland and Copenhagen, stopped over iu Ber­lin on his way to Paris. For an hour and a half he poured forth his vivid impressions o f “ hell pretty well let loose,” as he called it, o f the things, that he had seen and heard and of the “ ghastly welter into which Rus­sian society has drifted.”

“ Strange things arc happening,” said Mr. Stead. "Think of the inci­dents at Reval. Some determined per­sons marched down the street to the town hall followed by a crowil. There the mayor and councilman were slt- deli berating on the situation. In came our determined friends.

“ ‘W e demand/ they said, ‘we de­mand liberty, universal suffrage, aud the right to rule ourselves.'

" ‘But,’ said the mayor, ‘I cannot give you these things. 1 would glad­ly send your petitions to the emperor.’

Rebel Mobs Demand Money.“ ‘Well/ continued the delegates,

‘we are delegates o f a revolution, and if we do net get what we want we have decided to burn the city. Give us 7,500 rubles.*

"The mayor and his colleagues thought it was better to pay the 7,500 rubles than have the city burned, so they raised the money, paid tho dele­gates, and the latter went away prom­ising to be good, and they were good. But another crowd came and said:

" 'What about us? Pay us, too.’"This the mayor would not do aud

they went away with threats o f de­struction.

“ ‘The Red Virgin ’ of the French Commune was Louise Michel. W ell, in Reval a certain widow named Linde, dressed in scarlet from top to toe aud with an ax over her shoulder, placed herself at the head o f the mob. A ll night the revolutionists whitted. themselves up. In the meantime the governor had gotten out troops and the mob gathered in the morning fac­ing tho soldiers in ihe great square. The governor called on the mob to disperse and said that if after fifteen minutes they $ig not disperse he would order the‘ fmops to fire. Five minutes wcnt by am] the W idow

Linde f t red climbed a “ P P°st, cried out encouragement ar* exhort­ed steadfastness for the 1%ov°hit.Son. Tho soldiers began to call 0,lf' ro people to go away, as if t *iey were ordered to lire they must do so, and they did not want to hill anybody.

Attempt to Kill Governor.“ ‘ K ill him! kill h im !’ screamed the

Widow Unde, pointing to the gover­nor.

“ Several revolver shots were fired from the crowd, but no one was hit. The governor who waited to the end of the fifteen minutes then gave the command to lire, and the Widow Linde, sho: through the body, fell to the ground as Baron Euxull, an eye­witness, told me, ‘like a sparrow from a twig.'

“ One hundred and five dead per­sons were picked up from the square and thirty more died in the hospitals.

“ Tho coolest man in Russia Is the emperor. God grant that he may keep his sent., that the liberals may gather about him, and that they may resist the forces of dissolution. His author­ity is shaken, passions are loose, and things, are likely lo he worse. There may be fearful slaughterings. As an optimist I think 1UO.OOO lives may fall. If I were pessimistic X would say 2,000,000. The situation is something like this:

“ The police, gendarmes, and Cos­sacks have been suppressing a revo­lution in ihe name of the emperor. Suddenly, they say, the emperor goes over to the liberal side, and that he thinks more o f those who want to vote and who are doing everything in t.he way o f meeting and agitation which the police were taught to be­lieve was unlawful than he does of them. As simply human nature the police and gendarmes say:

“ ‘Oh, well, i f the emperor's new friends act like this it is no concern of ours.’

“ And when the police are indiffer­ent the ‘hooligans' break loose and toryism in society also breaks loose. That mass of ignorant conservatives which only thinks of killing— the Black Hundred in Moscow— are con­servatives who are offended by the liberals getting the upper hand. All through the Russian empire authority, represented by the iajlice, Cossacks, atul gendarmes, is shaken, as I have said, and the forces that lend to tear society apart aro at work.”

Too often this is never imparted or Is withheld until serious harm has result­ed to the grow ing girl through her ignorance o f nature's mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties.

GEORGE M ASON PURCHASED I IY TOM WATSON.

Am erican H istory Made Beneath Its Broad Verandas—Has Been R estor­ed to its Original Beauty.

Tom Watson, o f Georgia, author ot a “ L ife o f Thomas Jefferson,” is re­ported to have bought Gunston Hall, Virginia-, 15 miles from Washington, aud v/hicli was from 1750 to 1792 the home of George Mason, friend and ad­viser of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison and Pat­rick Henry. The house is preserved and a few rods from it is tlie grave of Mason. The pyramidal piecc o f gran­ite shown in the picture stands above his grave and is inscribed:

President hy the people and for a term o f seven years with ineligibility for re- election. He opposed th,y requirement o f a property qualification for voters aud also opposed the plan to make slaves equal to freemen for purposes of representation in Congress. He re­fused to sign the Constitution as adopted, and fought against its ratifi­cation by Virginia.

In the Virginia convention to ratify the Constitution Mason led the opposi­tion and standing with him were Pat­rick Henry, James Monroe, Benjamin Harrison and W illiam Grayson. The leaders for ratification were John Marshall, Edmund Randolph, Richard I-Ienry JL.ee, George Washington and James Madison, yet so great was Ma­son's influence that in 16S votes, the majority for ratification was only ton and this majority was obtained only after tho required number of Slates had already adopted the Constitution.

O f a Famous Fam ily.The first American Mason was George

Mason, great-grandfather o f Mason of Gunston. l ie was a commander o f a troop o f horse at the battle o f W or­cester, where he fought in the Stuar t cause, as did Colonel John.Washington, a near relative of John and Lawrence

mile distant It is about five miles be­low Mount Vernon and three miles be­low the ruins o f Bel voir, the home oi the first Fairfax in Virginia. Gunston Hall was probably without equal in that part of Virginia at tho time of its building, and is as well preserved as any other coionia’. house in Virginia It is eighty feet long and forty feet wide and is built of bricks twice the size of those made now. To the right o f tho north entrance is the room which was occupied by Jefferson on his frequent visits to Mason. On the river portico is where Mason and Washing­ton played at draughts by the hour.

Several years after the war Gunston Hall in dilapidation was acquired hy Colonel Kdward Daniels, a Northern man. The place was partially restore! by him. Colonel Daniels in the days of reconstruction was the editor o f the Richmond Journal and was once a can­didate for the House of Representa­tives, but was defeated. He was a close friend of President Grant, and Daniels really controlled the patronag- o f the State of Virginia. A spry oid gentleman who has personally known a hundred celebrities o f other genera­tions, he lives on land adjoining Guns­ton H all and which was a. part of tlie estate. Gunston Hall passed to Joseph Specht, o f St. Louis, and by him was completely restored and beautified. Ho died three years ago and the place con­tinued in possession o f his heirs and in charge o f a colored overseer.

Ealry Opposed to S lavery .George Mason was the Sage o f Guns­

ton. I t was he who after conference and correspondence with Washington drew up the non-importation resolu­tions offered by Washington anfl adopted by the Virginia House o f Bur­gesses in 17G9. One of these resolu­tions pledger! the signers to buy no slaves imported after November 1, 1769.

Mason was the author o f a tract styled “ Extracts from Virginia Char­ters and Some Remarks upon Them," supporting the contention that the Brit­ish. Parliament had no right to tax the American colonics. This tract had a wide vogue in pre-revolutionary times.

Mason and Washington attended the citizens’ meeting at Fairfax Court House, Virginia, in July, 1774. Wash­ington was moderator o f tho meeting. Mason presented twenty-four resolu­tions in advocacy o f non-intercourse with the mother country. These res­olutions were adopted, and were also adopted by the Virginia convention at Williamsburg in August, 3774. It was that body which elected Peyton Ran­dolph, Richard Henry Lee, Georgo Washington, Patrick Henry, Richard Bland, Benjamin Harrison and Edmund Pendleton delegates to the First Con­tinental Congress, and that Congress substantially adopted the Mason reso­lutions.

Favored Election jof P residen ts by the People.

Mason after once declining election, and once refusing to serve after elec­tion to tho Continental Congress, sat in the Constitutional Convention o f 17S7. In that great body lie opposed slavery, saying it was a source o f “ na­tional weakness and demoralization.” He advocated the direct election o f the

Washington, English Royalists and the original Washington immigrants.

The Mason family was originally of Wanvaickshire and there are many Mason memorials in the Church o f ihe H oly Trin ity at Slratford-on-Avon. Colonel George Mason, the first, was,

: however, not a Warwaickshlre man, j but was born in Staffordshire. One of his fellow Royalist refugees to Amer­ica was Gerard Fowke, of Gunston, a hamlet in Staffordshire. The old Eng­lish Gunston Hall was standing a few years ago, and was owned by the G if­fords, descendants o f the same Giffords

| who wore Royalists with H’owke and Mason, and who owned Boseobel, near Gunston, where Charles II. lay in con­cealment after ihe battle o f Worcester.

Tho commonwealth commander at Worcester was General Fairfax, and it was a strange fate that made a descen- ant of this man a neighbor to the Wash­ingtons of Mount Vernon and the Masons of Gunston Hall. Bel voir, the Fairfax estate, lay immediately be­tween Gunston and Mount Vernon

The first American Mason and Fowke settled in the northern neck of Virginia, but Fowke later removed to Maryland. George Mason, the second, married Mary Fowke, daughter of Ger­ard Fowke, and they built a home in Maryland, which they called Gunston Hall, in memory of the English Guns­ton. These people were grandparents qf George Mason, tho fourth, or Georgo Mason, one o f the republic’s founders. In 1750 this man married Anne Eilbeck o f Malta woman, Maryland, and soon after his marriage began the erection Of Gunston Ila ll, Virginia, which he named after his grandparents’ place in Maryland and tho ancestral home of the Fowkes in Staffordshire.

Mason was one o f the vestrymen of I Pohick Church, four miles from Guns­ton. Washington and William Fairfax were also vestrymen there.

Speaker Cannon, whom everybody calls “ Uncle Joe,” told the following story one day when he wished to em­phasize the necessity for telling ihe whole truth, and farther how a man may be deceived by half-truth:

A man rented a house, hut after look­ing at. it went back to the real estate agent with a complaint.

"You profess to have told me the truth,” he stormed, "but you haven’t told me the whole truth. There’s that lawn, fo r instance!”

“ Really, sir.” protested the agent, “ I distinctly remember describing the lawn, and a very nice lawn it is.”

"Oh, yes,” went on the kicker. “ You told me there was a lawn, but you didn't tell me that the nearest owner Of a lawn-mower lived two miles away! Where am I to borrow a lawn-mower, sir? Answor me that!”

A NEW CABINET OFFICE.LIKELIHOOD OF CREATION OF D E - PA R T M K S T OF IN SU LA R AFFA IRS.

ROOSEVELT IN D IX IE .

Field Covered by S ecre ta ry o f W ar Considered Too Vviuc — Presiden t M ay Suggest Change to Congress.

Since the war with Spain, tho enor­mous growth o f Ihe business o f the War Department has given rise to an o ft expressed opinion in high govern­ment circles that the time is fu lly ripe for the creation o f another executive department to handle the control o f ihe island affairs o f 1be government. I t is predicted that the President w ill make some such suggestion in his forthcoming message to Congress.

Following the Spanish War. the W ar Department naturally took control o f tbe island possessions that came to the United States as a result o f that con­flict. These islands, Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines, fe ll to the care o f ihe W ar Department as long ms they were under military rule, but when civil government took the place o f martial law they were still le ft with the W ar Department.

Kept From S tate D epartm ent.It would seem natural for them to

belong to the Department o f State, but they have been purposely kept from the province o f that department in or­der that foreign powers might uot have a chance to sfly anything about them. The bureau o f insular" affairs was created to attend to questions affecting our island possessions, but this bureau has been under the imme­diate control o f the Secretary o f War, and out o f reach o f foreign represent­atives.

With the turning o f Cuba over to the Cubans aud the passing o f Porio R»co lo llie Stale Department and Guam and Tutuilla to the Navy De5 pnr tmcnt, matters became even more involved.

Burden T o o C reat.Almost o f greater importance, at

present, than the Philippines, is the Canal zone. Secretary T a ft tried to shunt ill is burden to ihe shoulders o f Secretary Root, but failed in his at­tempt:. He is now preparing lo make a visit to the isthmus to see how the work on the big ditch is progressing, Mr. Koot declared that the bureau of insular affairs was better equipped to handle canal affairs than any other department o f the government.

However, when Secretary Ta ft le it for tlie Phi 11 ippines and it was understood that Mr. Root would be­come Secretary o f State, it was said to be Secretary Taft’s wish that the canal matter be transferred to Mr. Root and there has been much speculation during the summer and fall as to who would eventually oversee this big job. On one hand it has been realized that Secretary Ta ft lias had a great deal more than his proportionate share of government work and responsibility, and again it was understood that one of the arguments used hy the President (o induce Mr. Root to re-enter the Cab­inet was the President's personal de­sire that ho should undertake the di­rection of the can- work. His accept­ance of tho trust would have enabled Secretary T a ft to devote more o f his time to important Philippine govern merit questions and the business o f the army generally, i t seems to have been decided, however, that Mr. Taft is to eonlinue permanently as the Pauama canal builder, this decision having been reached at a recent. Cabinet meeting.

These questions, together w ilh ques­tions relating to the general staff, the reorganizaion o f the frnny. and other internal affairs, have made the Secre­tary by far ihe hardest worked man in the Cabinet

A t Richmond, the old Confederate Capital, the greeting extended to him was unusually cordial. A fte r much parading and speech-making, the Pres­ident was iak«n for a drive through the residence section. In the center of this section is the great equestrian statue o f General Robert E. Lee. A t this point occurred a scene o f the Pres­ident's visit which w ill probably be remembered when a ll others have faded into Oblivion.

Surrounding the Lee monument !s an iron fence, inclosing a circle o f lawn. The crowd was thickly grouped around this circle. Inside, ‘ standing upon tbe base o f the monumeut and wandering about upon the lawn were seventy-live broken, iottering old men. clad in gray and ca rry g small Con- ederatc flags. Many hobbled upon

crutches, and nearly all leaned upon canes. Here and there an arm or a leg was m'issang;. Tlie voices o f the old men were low, and they paid no heed to the crowd around them. They were waiting for the President o f the United States, be was to drive past the monument. From lime to time a little, old man climbed upon a pedi­ment and stood, like the very incar­nation o f ihe Lost Cause, shading his eyes and ga/.ing toward the coming o f tbe great, tbe powerful, the world- renowned successor o f Lincoln and Grant.

It was such a sight as this which greeted the President when bis car­riage dashed up to the monument. Before the old men realized it, ihe President was facing them and shout­ing, “ Come closer.” With confused ex­clamations the old men hobbled for­ward, wilh small preiense o f march­ing.

“ A hundred years hence, leaving China out o f the question, thero will be two colossal powers in the world, beside which Germany, England, France, and Ita ly w ill be as pygmies— the United States and Russia.”

i f any one had told Emile de La- veleye, when he made tbis prophecy, some years ago, that within a few years the power o f Russia on the sea would be annihilated, aud her land forces defeated again and again by the pygm y nation o f Japan, would he have believed it?

No, neither he nor any one else, at that time, would have credited it.

The incredible, the unbelievable, has actually happened. There is no result without'a cause. W hat is the underly­ing cause o f this marvelous strength o f Japan?

I t is not in battle ships or siege guns not in torpedo boats or field artillery —not in arms or armor—not in muni­tions o f wnr or equipment for battles ou land or sea.

The Japanese people are strong be­cause they live as the human animal must live to be mentally and physi­cally strong- next to nature.

They breathe the fresh air.They eat plain food.They neither starve nor gcv^je.They aro mentally and physically

and Obey them.Their children draw their strength

from tbe bosom of mother earth.And above and beyond all, they are

a nation o f homes and home owners.Each fam ily is in a home and each

home is in a garden where health and strength are gained by the labor of cultivating that garden fo r a living,

And in these garden homes the peo­ple o f Japan have fa r more o f real pleasure and happiness and the genu­ine enjoyments o f life than the aver­age wage worker in our country.

He looked back at the officer, took off his glasses, wiped them, looked down again and then finally turned to the commander and exclaimed, “ W hy the thing’s hollow !”

ficlnl habit o f thought which loses sight o f the life that a people lead and

measures everything by a money wage —a totally false and deceptive stand­ard o f measurement o f the best thing that human life affords.

In the United States two hundred and fifty thousand o f our people are being annually destroyed by tlie great white, plague, tuberculosis.

In Japan the disease is practically unknown.

Why?Because the Japanese breathe fresh

air.What would the Japanese think i f

they were told that their people could not* have fresh air because they did not have more money?

Or could not have exercise because they could not afford to belong to athletic clubs?

Or must go without food because they lacked money . to buy it at a butcher or a grocery store, when every Japanese gardener has ihe land from which he knows how with bis own labor 10 get all the food he needs for the abundant nourishment for himself and family.

The Garden Farm .O f the 45,000,000 population o f

Japan oO,000,000 are farmers, or more correctly speaking, gardeners. The Japanese farm is "a garden, irrigated and fertilised, and scientifically and Intensively tilled.

And a recent writer, describing the life o f the Japanese farmer, says:—

“ Measured in money, he is not rich. But he dwells in a comfortable and in­viting home, purged ot every taint o f dirt and dust. The transparent paper walls o f his house, made o f bark from his miisumata shrubs, flood bis dwell­ing with light and keep out the wind, l ie enjoys good food served in dainty, but inexpensive dishes made o f native woods. Even in the homes o f ttie poorest, there are no visible Signs ot poverty. There is no squalor in agri­cultural Japan. The humblest peas­ant farmer is clean, industrious and comfortable. The area o f fence corners abandoned on many American farms to w ild mustard, fennel, and pig weed, would furnish comfortable living to a whole fam ily iu rural Japan. Some idea o f the trilling cost o f living in agricultural Japan was given ' by an American who has spent flfteei years in the Empire. Frequently lie takes a vacation in ihe farming re­gions. H e hns good food, sleeps on clean and comfortable quilts in impec­cable houses is carried about Jni coun­try carts,and at the end o f two weeks finds that his total expenses have not exceeded leu yen, or five dollars.”

And from the garden farms—the Home Acres—o f agricultural Japan ha ve come the soldiers who have faced death to drive the Russians from Man­churia aud leaped into eternity in or­der that they might wipe tbe menace o f the Russian Navy from the seas tha t wash the shores o f their Home Land.

A Nation o f Home A cres .I t is an old saying that a man w ill

not fight fo r a boarding house, blit tlie Japanese have proved that they w ill light like demons to defend ilie insti­tutions o f a. nation o f Home Acres.

W e instinctively think o f tbe victo­ries o f Japan as" the victories o f her leaders.

We are naturally licro-wor shipper s. But there, again' we are superficial. Our military men were loud in their

praises o f the masterly w ay in which Kuropatkin played the game o f war.

And Rojestvensky must have the credit due him fo r sailing his fleet four thousand miles and planning so effi­ciently to provide it with coal and pro­visions.

But Oyarua and Togo bad tho men, and every Japanese soldier and sailor is not only a hero but a leader. I f every officer in the Japanese army and navy above the rank o f Captain were stricken dead tomorrow, their places would be filled and Japan would con­tinue to prosecute the war to final vic­tory. Tbe secret o f her power lies in the fact that in intelligence, in mental and physical strength, in Individual initia t ive in patriotism, in all tha t goes to make up a fighting unit, every Japanese soldier and sailor is aii Oyiua or a Togo in embryo.

You might destroy every ship that Japan possesses, destroy all her arms and munitions o f war, take away even the clothes on their backs ,and trans­port every so ld ier 'in her armv and every sailor in her navy back to the shores o f Japan as naked as the day he wore born, and leave the nation to its own devices, and in a few years thov would completely reproduce their naval and military power and be stronger than ever.

But destroy the men o f Japan and substitute for them the- dull-witted peasantry o f Russia or the enacmtc factory operatives o f England, and you have destroyed Japan.

Men B efore Battlesh ips.True to hfs warlike impulses and in­

stincts. President Roosevelt catches up the echo from tho great naval battle wbrch has just been fought, and calls on the country for more battle ships.

Rojestvensky had battle ships, n e had more o f them than Togo. But he didn’ t, ha ve the men. And he couldn’t get them. Russian institutions could uot produce them.

Now, would it not be wise fo r the people o f Ibis country to wrake up to tho fact that the foundation o f our strength as a nation is not in an army or a navy, but in our citizenship.

And also wake up to the appalling fact, powerfully portrayed by Robert Hunter in “ Poverty,” his recent book, that we are deliberately follow ing in tho footsteps o f England arid degener­ating our citizenship by crowding onr working people into cities where they live in an unhealthful environ­ment and are weakened by poor food and inadequate nwurlsbment

lion from Japan has not yet been learned, and when re s id en t Roose­velt fails to see it,and demands only more battle as tbe lesson o f thegr®at sea fight which has just been fought, he uufortuuaUMy diverts the minds o f tbe people o f this country from facts o f supreme and overshad­owing Importance, wbien should l>e burned into the public mind a » by a stroke o f lightning from every victory vron by the Japanese.

That lesson is the profoundly im­portant fact that the Japanese man, tbe unit o f her national strength, is the product o f a mode o f lil'e and an environment which combines the physical strength which comes only from the rural life—from living next lo nature— with the mental activity and keenness which come from eon- stout contact with his ftllowmen—the community life.

A Nation o f Gardeners.The Japanese are not a nation o f

farmer*, a* wo understand tb« word. They are a nation o f gardeners. There is neither isolation nor conges­tion in their life. They dwell, the great majority o f them, not in great cities, but in closely settled rural com­munities. The ranch and the tene­ment. are alike foreign to the life o f tho Japanese.

The greatprinclple that musteontrol our own national development hence­forth is that the land shall be subdi­vided into the smallest (rads from which one man's labor w ill sustain a fam ily lo comfort, and that every child, boy or girl, in tlie public schools should be so trained In those schools that it w ill know how to till such a tract o f land for a livelihood.

Tn other words, let us reproduce in this country the Conditions so well described in an article from tho Book- lovers’ Magazine for August, 1004, from which we quote the following:—

"W hile Japan is cannonadlngitsway to rank with Christian powers as. a

nor military equipment, nor manu­facturing skill. Western nations will fail fu lly to grasp the secret o f the dynamic intensity o f Japan today, and w ill dangerously underestimate the formidable possibilities o f tuc Greater Japan—the Uai Nippon of tomorrow, until they begin to Study seriously the agricultural triumphs o f that empire. For Japan, more scientifically than any other nation, past or present, has perfected the art o f sending the roots o f its civilization enduringly into the soil.

“ Progressive experts o f high author­ity throughout the Occident now ad­mit that in all the annals o f agri­culture there is nothing that ever ap­proached the scientific skill o f Sunrise husbandry, Patient diligence, with knowledge o f the chemistry o f soil and the physiology o f plants, have yielded results that have astounded the most advanced agriculturists in Western nations.”

T h e Safe Foundation.Tho croatIon o f the conditions above

described under which the people o f a nation are rooted to 1he soil iu homes of their own on the land, is not only good statesmanship and the highest patriotism, but it is the only safe foun­dation for an enduring national structure.

To ignore and neglect this founda- lion while we build battleships, equip armies and annex islands and dig l^lhtuian canals, is as fatal a mistake as it would be to build a twenty-story skyscraper in Chicago without any foundation but the mud o f Lake Michigan.

We need not muster out our aranies, nor dismantle our battleships nor evacuate the Philippines, nor stop work on the Isthmian Canal, bul the fact remains, as dear as tho sun from an unclouded sky at nrionday, that ttie attention o f our'people an a nation is riveted on our naval and military af­fairs and sebvmes o f foreign oxploita-

For, in fact, they are undeveloped. W e have. a& yet. hardly more than tickled the earth over this immense area.

Ouf Own Country.

When we compare Japan, with its dense population, its wealth, its rev­enues, its trade and commerce, its national strength, with any section o f our own country equal to it in area aud natural resources, wc are amazed at the great possibilities o f future de­velopment in our own country.

The entire" population o f Japan is about forty-live million, o f which thirty million is a farming population, aud this vast population o f thirty mil- Ion farmers and their families is sus­tained on nineteen thousand square miles o f irrigated land. There is no agriculture in Japan but irrigated agriculture. They have learned that water is the greatest fertilizer known to nature^ and save and utilize it with the same care that they use every other available process for the fertili­zation o f their fields. .

Nineteen thousand square miles is a!) area about one hundred and thirl y- live miles square, and in a square in “a corner o f the State o f Illinois, the coiu-

tioods o f the Mississippi and its tribu- culty in tlie way o f it is a mere cus- taries w ill be led out through a n e t , tom*or habit, easily modified, vork o f canals, large and small, aud ) The terms o f school o f all city stored in reservoir*, and every drop j schools should be changed. Theredevoted to beneficial use, a use tkat will be so valuable that ire value for navigation w ill count, fo r nothing in comparison. It may be a great many years before this w ill happen, but it is certain to come, in no other way can the vast population with which this country w ill teem within a few hundred years be provided with the food to sustain it.

Japan, from her total area o f 117.- i>55 square miles, o f which only 19,000 are cultivated, collected an * annual revenue before tho war with Russia began o f $121.433,'720, and her exports amounted to §124,2(i$,023.

The average population per square<11^ 4\t* l o i i o n i u * )< H » V v«»*-

should be a short winter term, dur­ing which the time should be given to instruction from the books and in handicraft within doors.

There should be a summer term of equal length during which tlac schools would be transferred to the suburbs, and work in summer school gardens. The children should lie taken back and forth, to these summer school gar­dens at public expense, as they are now taken to and from the consoli­dated rural schools on the trolley lines in some o f the New England states. —

The vacation, which would not need be so long, should be divided betwen a

mile o f Japan is 299.76, but only*one- spring vacation and a full vacation.seventh o f her territory Is actually under cultivation.

A Thousand M iles Square.A section o f our own country con­

tained within u square extending one thousand miles north from New Or­leans and one thousand miles west from Pittsburg, and containing one million square miles, i f as densely

parative size o f which to tlie rest o f | I,0P'uJated as Japan, would sustain athe State is shown on tlie accompany­ing map, is sustained a nation which, to the amazement o f fill other peoples on tbe earth, has sprung to the front as one o f the great world powers.

Source o f P cw cr ,

And the Home Acre farms or gar­dens the rural homes o f Japan—aro the source o f that national power.

Commenting on this, the author, o f the article in the August 1904 Rook— lovers’ Magazine, quoted from above, says in that article:—

"From what its advanced agricult­ure has made its plains fo yield, Japan has fed and clothed and educated Its

population o f 300,000,000; but a much larger proportion o f this great square in the center o f the United States could be intensely farmed than in Japan, where only one-seventh o f the total area is cultivated.

On The 19,000 square miles o f land in Japan that is actually farmed, they sustain c)0,i>00,000 farmers. It is a safe estimate that at least one-half o f the thousand mile square central sec­tion o f the Unued States above des­cribed could be as closely cultivated as “ the productive fields o f Japan. Those Japanese fields sustain over fifteen hundred people to the square mile. A t the same ratio o f population, our own thousand mile square central

multiplying masses, fust nearing the section would sustain 750,000,000 o ffarming population alone.

A population o f over fifteen hundred to the square mile sustained by agri­culture seems to the ordinary mind in­credible; but on tho Island o f .Tersev, off the English coast, a population o f over thirteen hundred to me square mile Is sustained by out o f door agri­culture in a climate by no means best adapted to intensive farming.

It must be borne in mind that we are talking now o f the possibilities o f future development, and the facts apd hgurcs above given will no doubt be looked upon as utterly chimerical bv the average reader.

D egeneracy ir. England.Bear in mind however, again, that

they are based only upon the assump­tion that we in this country

intervening between the winter city erm and the country summer term ot each school.

Building a Strong: C itizenship.O f course, many w ill hold up their

hands and say this is impossible.England finds it impossible, as the

result o f her system o f great landed estates, to provide her people w ith, homes on the land, and in conau-! quem.-e her ruin as a nation is only a question o f a comparatively brief time.

Japan, on the contrary, put forth her hand and solved the very problem 1 which, to Kngland, seems impossible, I aud behold tbe results in her strength and power as a nation.

tt is only a question with us. as a people, whether we w ill fo llow the lead o f Japan, and profit by her les­sons, or follow the lead o f England and share in her eventual ruin.

The intlucnces which are destroying England are at work steadilv and in­sidiously in this nation, and though it w ill take longer for them to work I our ruin, it Is sure to come i f we do not find a way to root the great majority o f our people to the land in homes o f their own. as Japan has done, and ns we can do, unless we are as blind and as impotent in deal- ing Vi acli our national problem** as seems to be the fate o f England

In the carrying out o f ibis great patriotic purpose o f building a strong citizenship by building rural homes on the land, we arc. at the garne time, doing that which will create

greatest possible commercial p.osperlty, and develop to the high­est attainable point, not only the re­sources o f the .Middle West, but of our entire country.

The thousands o f patriots that have marched to the front hove not thinned the ranks of the -mightier hosts tilling the sod.Thirty million farmers are gathering ample harvests iu the diminutive fields o f Japan.

Husbandry Dignified.“For twenty-five centuries the Sun­

rise sovereigns have dignified hus­bandry as ihc most important aml most, houorablc industrial calling in the empire, and now more than sixty per cent o f the Mikado's subjects till with incomparable skill the limited soil o f his islands.

-The snma diligent genius that, ena­bles a landscape gardener in Japan to wmpass within a few square yards of land a forest, a bridge-spanned streama water fall aud lake, a chain o f ter- raced bills, gardens and chrysanthe­mums hyacinths, peonies and pinks, a beetling crag crowned w ill, a dwarfed would be an enlargement o f our popu- eoulfcr. and through all tho dainty lation, our home marke* for rnunu-

zenshlpnational foundation forever, and' en­larging our home markets, which w ill be unaffected by any foreign complica­tions or trade disturbances.

The attention o f our people o f late has been so much absorbed by the problems o f our export trade, That we overlook the fact that the United Slates loday manufactures annually a product aggregating in total value the combined manufactured product of the three other greatest manufactur­ing nations o f the world. England, France and Germany, and wc con­sume ninety-two per <-ent o f our entire annually manufactured products at. home.

States were cut in two, and a new home created on it so that the number of farm homes, and the capital in­vested in, aud labor devoted to agri­culture throughout the entire United States, were thus doubled, the result

conifer, and through park meandering paths, with here a shrine and there a dainty summer house, has made it possible for the far­mers o f the empire to build up on less than nineteen thousand square miles o f arable land the most remarkable agricultural nation the world has known. I f all the tillable acres of Japan were merged into one field, a Man in an automobile, traveling at the rate o f fifty miles an hour, could skirt the entire perimeter o f arable Japan in eleven hours. Upon this narrow freehold Japan has reared a nation o f imperial power, which is determined

Tt is to the development o f its vast agricultural resources and the creation

Could there foe a more striking proof o f the oft-quoted words o f David Starr Jordan, that:—

“ Stability o f national character goes with firmness o f foot-hold on the soli.”

Comparison o f A reas.Now compare Japan and its devel­

opment with the possibilities o f devel­opment in the Middle West.

Tbe area o f all the Islands compris­ing tbe Empire o f Japan is 147,055 square miles; of this only 19.000 square miles is available for agricult­ure, fo r every available acre in that country is cultivated.

The total combined area o f Wiscon­sin, Illinois and Indiana is 1-10,SfiO square miles, :iud it is safe to say that considerably more than Half o f this area—probably more than two thirds— is capable o f as close a cultivation,

reached by tlie Japanese people, and on which rests their national strength.

It is true that our development dur­ing the last haif-century has not been towards the land. W e have followed in the footsteps o f England, rather than Japan; and while, in fiftv years, Japan has restored the land 'to her people and rooted them to tbe soil in homes o f their own, England has done the contrary. She has driven her yeomanry from tlie farms to the cities, where they have become fac­tory operatives, and degenerated physically and mentally to such a de­gree that the dogenoracy o f her citi­zenship now presents iI self to the statesmen o f England as a most ap­palling problem. ,

W e are doing the same thing, but wc arc not, as yet, feeling the effects o f it so severely because wc have still a larger proportion o f our people on the land.

Back to the Land.We have much to do to reverse the

tide o f population, and turn it from the cities back to tbe land—from the tenement to the garden. It must not. he imagined that it is necessary, !n order to accomplish this, that the workers in our cities or in our fac­tories should quit their present em ­ployment and become formers. All that is necessary is that the facilities for rapid transportation afforded by our trolley system should be availed o f to plant every factory fam ily upon at least an acre o f land.

Let that be done, and the problem is practically solved no matter though the acre be used for nothing but to raisa chickens and keep a goat. The children o f the fam ily w ill have fresh air and sunshine and pure milk, aud w ill grow up to be healthy men and woman.

The lever w itli which we must move our population back to the land must be tlie public school system.

Gardens and Handicraft.Every child in the public schools,

boy or girl, must be trained from its earliest days o f school life to culti­vate the ground and moke things

nd to raise poul- needs to be done

fo provide the food for a fam ily from an acre o f land.

Add to this n training in simple sloyd work and home handicraft, cooking and sewing and making things fo r the home, and you Wu. have cre­ated the impulse in the minds o f the multiplying millions o f our children which w ill lead them to shun the bricks and the asphalt, tbe slums and the tenements, as they would shun the plague, and flee from them far enough into the country lo have an acre at least fo r a home and a gar­den.

Create this impulse In the minds of our children, the millions upon mil­lions o f them who are attending, and will attend, our public schools, and | they w ill find a way to solve all the j rest o f tlie problem, how to get the land, and how to get back and forth to it, i f they continue to work in the city or the factory.

Some w ill say that school gardens cannot be provided for city children That is a mistake. The txnly ditTi-

It was the night o f the annual Grand State Ball. W ith a somewhat doubtful heart, I entered the palace, in lu ll uniform, with short Scotch sword.

think I far out-valued tl.e heart, for there never was another like it, and none ever will be. Hut at my pater­nal home. Charter’s Court, there was blood ou the face of the moon, and a leather strap awaiting the- youthful scion. So 1 ueviated and spent a bliss­ful month in France, pending a redne-

knapsacks and laughed about the pos­sible end. They were a brave* rol­licking, fitful class—these young stu­dents and merchants o f the town. They could form instant attachment's. But they could forget as easily. Hence their present bitterness.

Ii took a passport and an Tnler-tion o f the tempest. For I had told i national secret badge and password them or’ my engagement to Adelaide, to get in at all. Then, weary toand my desire to marry her immedi­ately aud bring i.er home. “ I t w ill blow over,” 1 said to myself, laugh­ing at love letters from Adelaide, and writing her a stream of tender re­plies. Then I got mad. For she told . me her father, old Ilenry, had thrown the south, where the island ran off

death after a three-day rail and boat voyage, i went to bed iu the only hotel.

Toward morning I was awakened by gun firing. I arose and dressed immediately. There was skirmishing

fit when she spoke o f her contem­plated co-operative association. I chased back to l-’erriby and dropped in at the house about tea rime I ate a form I supper, Cid Henry's manner chilled me to my spurs, and I could think o f nothing but army gossip, for I had graduated into an organization o f prospective army officers.

Then I broke loose and told him what 1 wanted, while Adelaide dis­creetly withdrew. H e was a stone post to my entreaty, my demand, my storm. So as I had put pride beneath my heel, aud could not give her up. 1 offered him a home, an annuity, an Indefinite leave o f absence, with pay and expenses—any old plan thar would give a fair exchange for his sorrow, n e shook his head. He even swore at me in French. And then lie called her In and made her dismiss me, though she did it in -tears.

From India to Africa, from ice to equator, I moved about through Eng­lish Army Stations. We were on a lour o f England's ou I posts one of the first school trips o f the young officer. I attained new grades and donned new uniforms. I added stars and bars, cords and fringe. I had be­come a real soldier. I even got Into some scrimmages with the blacks in Egypt—a gang o f robbers who inhab­ited an abandoned city. And after fiv* years knocking about, I returned to England. But my heart- was still at the little cottage, aud thither I went on tfie/irst train. It was empty. Adelaide’s chickens inhabited tho

in a long neck of land. Then I heard marching in the street near by, and the rumble o f cannon. I t was none of my business, really; but Ade­laide or no Adelaide, a British Army Officer cannot rest supinely iu the midst o f civil war. even though it be merely opera bouffe. So I went among them, as a citizen, discreetly leaving my uniform in my portman- tea u.

Iu the dark—for it was not yet morning I mixed with the crowd and caugbr the drift o f tbe revolution. They were tired of old John Henry— now gracefully styled Enrique X V II. For a time his return to Barrataria was the occasion of festivities and brilliant ceremonials. Now they wanted a young man. There was Trastamara, Adelaide’s dlstanr cousin. He was o f royal blood and

i full o f lire. Why not mnke him king? And I found by questioning that Trastamara, the gambler and sport o f the island, was laying wires along de­vious paths to accomplish just, that end, forcing the abdication of John Henry and—how it floored me—tak­ing Adelaide as his queen. T ground my teeth. Sooner than see that sweet angel Trastamara’s w ife I would wet my sword in the villain’s blood and carry off the prize myself.

I saw that action was necessary if I were to accomplish anything, and the next day, early in the afternoon, attired in full uniform, made my way to the palace. It was surrounded by tbe K ing’s guards, with instructions to admit only the a anointed. My highland garb, with kilt and sperran, tartan and feathor rum not- n/.JU un-

life, darling!Down the stairs we ran lightly.

Behind swept the king, -the courtiers, and the crowd o f gay dancers. Old John Henry had thrown aside his

: long robes and his crown, and was sprinting after me in excellent style.A t the bottom o f a long fiigh o f stone

steps, we opened a massive door, and found ourselves at ihe great'southern gate o f the palace. A two-horse car­riage stood outside. “ Tt is my own!” cried Adolaid. “ It has been'waiting since noon. We are saved!”

The door o f the palace closed with a secret spring, but not soon enough ro keep back old .Tohn Henry. He slipped through, looking very odd in his short tunic and bare head—shorn of his kingly habiliments. But it slammed in tbe face o f the crowd, and we three were alone.

Adelaide leaped .into the carriage. With a smothered oath John Ilenry jumped after her. H e bad no thnughi but to capture bis daughter. The sol­diers could take care o f me. But this was exactly what 1 wanted. I slipped iu beside Adelaide, closed the door, called to the driver to make across tho southern bridge at top speed, and we were off without a sin­gle pursuer.

A moment later the king came at mo with knotted, blood-ihirsty fingers, l ie was in a fearful rage. I*m et him half way with my fist beneath bis chin. H e doubled up like a jack- knife and knew no more untill w e were on the mainland, in a fast train for Paris, reeling off the miles between Hell and Heaven.

Henry took it unkindly, but in time he became grateful to me for saving his life. For ir was really planned that night to make way with him and to turn Adelaide over to Trastamara.

Adelaide’s cHlefcema have come back, singing; the vines curl up with delight; and the flowers bloom them­selves to death, all for the Iadv in the little cottage. Old Henry is ' in his heaven—the library: Adelaide Is ;r hers, tho nursery. T am busy and contented. I have fought tlier good fight; 1 have won my queen.
