NEVNATIONALISM Creed of th Latest Political Faith Is Set Forth By Gilford Pinchot in a Speech at Detroit. NEW PARTY COMING. And the Old Lines Are Being Hiped Out, He Says. Accuses the Administration of Acting in Bad Faith. Detroit, Oct. 28. Gifford Pinchot, former head of the United States bu reau of forestry, delivered an address this afternoon at the Hotel Pontchar train at a luncheon given by the De troit board of commerce. As originally planned the address was to have been given at a banquet this evening but changes in Mr. Pin chot's itinerary necessitated his early departure for Indianapolis and the luncheon was substituted for the ban quet. Mr. Pinchot's Speech. Mr. Pinchot spoke In part as fol lows: Since early In June I have been trav eling; almost continuously, and have had a fair chance to come in contact with and estimate public sentiment in all the great divisions of our country. Using the information thus secured from contact with men of many occu pations and varieties of political belief In many localities, I have tried to write down an estimate of the composite opinion of the voters of all parties in the east, the south, the Mississippi val ley, and the Pacific coast on certain public questions. What I have writ ten makes no pretense to be complete. And the task Is not without difficulty. Opinions fiercely held in some parts of the countary, in others have not yet risen to the surface as public issues. The underlying fact, as I found it everywnere, was uteiiseaLtu puwci iui indignation over the inequality of OP-;Q J)UI LUI11L CVC1J W uric Bnunii .J tA,, or tvio firm dptprmiTifltinn to nut an end to it somehow, and that soon.

I believe that Cannon and Aldrich, and all they represent, are passing rap Idly away, and that a better time ;s coming, when the people will control. I believe the people must protect themselves against the special inter ests in state and nation alike: that they con best protect themselves by the power of the nation against corpor ations operating across state lines find that the great special interests must not be permitted to take refuge from all control by sneciously raising the issue of states' rights.

Secretary Mc Veagh's proposal to reduce the size of paper money has progressed to a point where the problem of working out a plan for a uniform national bank note is not a serious one. A committee is soon to make a report with some rec ommendations. It is said to be imprac- ticable to reduce the size of the gov-! ernment's currency without reducing national Danit notes to trie; same size If that be possible, it i declared the 7.000 national banks of the United States could save $20,000 a year in ad dition to the $900,000 the government expects to save. It will require an act of congress to change the wording now upon national bank notes and that is necessary oeiore tne size can oe re duced. NEELY IN AEROFLANE.

He Declares the Roads Should Be Made to Show Jutt W hat They Own by Produc ing Their Books. Chicago, Oct. 28. Governor W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, on the witness stand before the interstate commerce commission today in the freight rate increase hearing declared he could re produce at a profit to himself as a railroad contractor all the main lines of railroads in the state at $25,000 a mile and for $10,000 a mile less re produce the branch lines In the state.

Stubbs of Kansas was a witness today in the interstate commerce commis sion rate hearing. He was preceded on the witness stand by Frank Ryan of special assistant to the attorney gen- i eral of Kansas and J R White traffic manager of a big Kansas City dry goods house. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Muirhead told of a lamentable condition of the properties of the Missouri Pacific in 1907, when. Ryan said people were afraid to ride cm it, auu 01 suuaequeiit improvement:, while Mr. White related that prior 10 1906 and the passage of the Hepburn act rebating was generally practiced. "Between 1900 and 1905," said Mr. White, "we paid from 30- to 40 cents less than the $1.47 rate from the At lantic seaboard. This condition was no; exceptional with us; it was a mat ter of common knowledge that others were allowed the low rates." On cross-examination by Attorney C. M. Dawes of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy, witness said the rebates ap plied to all Inbound freight, and cov ered 90 per cent of the goods received by his company. Rebates, he said, were received on practically all goods received from the Atlantic seaboard. southeastern points and Chicago. business?" inquired Attorney Dawes "No, I do not, but it would affect it." "Is there anything sold by you on which the advance would not be added to the price of the goods?" "We would not add the advance on print goods," replied Mr. White. Opposed to the Advance. Answering Commissioner Lane, Mr. White said he was opposed to the ad vance. Referring to a recent case m which the Kansas City dry goods house secured a reduction in the rates on certain articles witness declared that proposed advances would more than wipe out these reductions. Mr, Ryan, speaking of the physical condition of the Missouri Pacific in 1907, said the trackage of the com pany in Kansas was in a dangerous condition. "The people of Kansas," he said, "would not travel over the road if there were any other means of trans- portatlon possible." Two weeks ago he said that he had nouncea m a aecree rasara oy tne pro made an inspection of the road and its visional government today. equipment had, been greatly improved r- along lines suggested by the state rail road commission. Examination of Mr. Ryan was by Attorney John DawSbn, counsel for the Kansas railway commission. Mr. Dawson said shippers of the state would not consent to have the Im provement of the Missouri Pacific in that state used as a basis for an ad vance in rates. He said the absorp tion of a number of smaller lines may have contributed to the general low physical average condition of the rail road in 1907. On cross examination by James C. Jeffrey, counsel for the Missouri Pacific, Mr. Ryan said the state board co-operated in aiding the railroad to improve its roadbed, al though in 1907 the passenger rate in Kansas was cut to two cents a mile, and freight rates also were reduced. Dawson Makes a Statement. Mr. Dawson interpolated a state ment that the railroads had brought suit against the two-cent fare law, but that prosecution of the case had been held in abeyance pending decision on similar suits in Nebraska. Attorney T. J. Norton of the Santa Fe said he understood there were 23.000 automobiles in Kansas more, he said, than there were in New York City. Mr. Ryan smilingly admitted that there were many motor cars in Kansas and declared that if he lived in New York he would not want one. He admitted that the people of Kansas were prosperous. "Would they object to paying a rea sonable rate on their freight?" asked Mr. Norton. "Not a reasonable rate." replied the witness. Mr. Muirhead, the next witness, said he had inspected the Missouri Pacific to see if it was obeying the orders of i the railroad commission. I On my first trip in 1909 the road i was in bad shape. It was considered a joke as a railroad. A month ago I went over the road again and found great improvements. At the present rate of betterments and replacements, the Missouri Pacific will soon be in as good physical condition as any rail road in the country." EMPIRE AT STAKE. Famous Kentucky Land Case Before V. S. Supreme Court. Washington, Oct. 28. An empire larg er than the entire state of Delaware or the island of Porto Rico lying in the state of Kentucky is the prize at stake today in the supreme court of the Uni ted States.

The attorney general of Kentucky has appeared in the supreme court to as sert in defense of their claim of title that they are the people who have built up the state and have for years, paid taxes on the land. Kecent legislation in Kentucky resulted in decisions by the- state courts which practically took away any title which claimants under the blanket grants might have had. These claimants now come to the su preme court in a final appeal. WILL LET SMITH GO. Court to Give Fallen Preacher Chance to Reform. Kansas City, Oct. 28.

Hawley and Post Will Reach New York This Evening. Are Entertained by Citizens of Quebec and Montreal. STORY OF THE TRIP. In Its Earlier Stages Is Told by Mr. Post. Hawley Sustained a Severe In jury to His Leg. Montreal, Oct. 28. The final stage of the remarkable journey of Alan R. Hawley, pilot, and Augustus Post, aid of the victorious balloon America II into Canada ended today with their ar rival in Montreal. During the night a sleet and snow storm swept over central Quebec and the aeronauts' glimpse 'of the wooded hills gave them a bleak and dreary pic ture suggestive of a fate that might have overtaken them had they been less successful in managing the big gas bag. or in woodcraft. The party was met here by representatives of the Montreal automobile and aero clubs and were the guests of President Anson and the directors of that organization at break fast at the place Viger. They left on tne Delaware Hudson railroad at 10:55 and are due to arrive in New York at 10:18 o'clock this evening. Formal Welcome at Quebec. iQuebec, Oct. 28. Alan R. Hawley and Augustus Post, heroes of the greatest balloon flight on record, arrived here last night after an experience that wa? more trying than earlier reports indi cated, but mightily pleased because the cup for which they contested remains in America. The first day after leaving the Amer ica II, at the end of their journey on the banks of the Peribonka river, Mr. Hawley's leg was injured so severely that he was laid up for several hours and he has not yet recovered from the effects of the hurt. The arriv of the aeronauts was made the occasion of the first formal welcome back to civilization of the men who for several days were thought to be lost in the dense forests of Canada. Gebhardt Willrich, the American consul, and several prominent men of the city met tne party upori the ar- lnK jacoues Maltais's cabin in the woods when we did. Taken altogeth- 1 er, it was not a disagreeable experience by any means, and, best of all, the cup for which we made the flight remains at home." Post Describes Trip. In describing the earlier part of the journey up to the time they were lost sight of over the state of Michigan, rui oa.u. "We followed a northeasterly course across the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and thence along the Illinois river into Wisconsin. In the morning we were in a fjusii.iuii jusl uuilii ui mo city of Milwaukee, but over the lake. We descended so that our rope trailed in the water, but the air was light and we rose again to get the eastern drift. That carried us up over the lake to Point au Sable, near Ludington. At that pdint the wind veered slightly to the north and we passed over Traverse City. From there we rose again and again got the easterly drift. "We crossed Lake Huron during the night and were high over Georgian bay and the country immediately north of it. We made our highest altitudes at this stage of the journey. The wind had a strong drift to the northeast and Impossible to move afoot, so we decided to go on. We again went into the higher levels and at one time our barograph registered 6,000 metre?. which Is the limit. We then saw in. be distance what we supposed was tha town of Normandy, Lake St. John. This was about 1:30 p. m. on Wednes-. day. The country looked favorable for a landing and we decided to come down. The speed at which we were going, however, carried us beyond tha place we had picked out. We were carried over a small hill. Considering the circumstances, we made a good landing on what we later learned was to the east of the Peribonka river. "A heavy thunderstorm came up and we slept in the basket that night. The next morning we saw that it was impossible to move the balloon and wo packed up for the Journey on foot. We slept in the wood Thursday night. Hawley injured his leg in the after- noon. Arter we naa covered aDout seven miles along the shore of Lake Chilogama we went into camp early, making it as comfortable as possible by using balsam boughs." 1 Hawley Breaks In, Here Mr. Hawley Interrupted Mr: Post's narrative to explain how his leg-was- hurt. "We were going through a dense tan gle of brambles and fallen timbers and' making poor progress. In working mv Vv-ay through I leaped upon what lookel like a solid log. It crumbled beneath me and my whole weight waa sudden': thrown upon my right leg, which bent under me. I can stand a good deal of pain, but I never had anything take ho'd of me like that did." Taking up the thread of his story, Mr. Post said: "On account of Mr. Hawley's in jured leg we took it easy on Friday and went into camp early. On Satur day, on the shore of a small lake, we fame upon the cabin of Jacaues Mal tais, -He was absent at the time, but tve enjoyed his hospitality for that night and the whole of the following flay. Unfortunately, the cabin was bare of supplies. "About 9 o'clockr Monday morning Mr. Hawley went to the bank of the (Continued on Pago Eight.li

Several hundred of the convicts in the federal penitentiary here are anxiously look ing forward to the meeting of the board of parole, which is expected to convene in Leavenworth early in No vember and consider applications for parole under the act of congress, ap proved June 2a, last. Of the forty members of the bankers' colony in the penitentiary only about a dozen have applied for parole. Several of the eligibles have such a shoit period to complete their terms that they prefer serving out their sentences and leaving the prison with a clean record, than to be known as a paroled r-an. Amone. the bankers who are now eligible to the benefits of the law are: Frank G. Eigelow, of Milwaukee, ani his former cashier, H. G. Goll; J. L. Rroderick. Elkhart, Ind.; G. A. Conz man, Terre Haute, Ind.; Fred Lubbe, Indianapolis, Ind.; W. H. Schnick and S. G. Brainard, Cleveland, O.; T. G. Hayes, Washington, D. C; C. M. Spencer, Des Moines, la.; C. C. King, Pierre, S. T.; F. M. Marby, "Waco, Tex.; C.'H. Thornton, Chicago; H. i. Horras, Sioux Falls, S. D. John R. Walsh, the Chicago banker whose petition for a pardon is now be fore the department of justice, will not be eligible to the operation of the law until October, 1911, when he will have completed one-third of his term of five years. Walsh's friends are said to be confident that he will be pardoned be fore that time. W. W. Montgomery of Pittsburg, Pa., former political adviser of the late Senator Quay, will not be eligible until September, 1914. Arriving at prison with Montgomery was his cashier, Herbert W. Tiers. Under the law he cannot be paroled until May, 1911. The law under whose operation the convicts hope for release provides that every prisoner serving a definite term for an offense against the United States whose record of conduct shows he has observed the rules of the In stitution, and who has served one third of the total of the term or terms for wh'ch he was sentenced, may be released on parole, under certain con ditions. If the applicant's petition meets the approval of the board it will recom mend the parole to the attorney gen eral of the United States. Prisoners who, are granted parole will be given permission to return to their homes, where it will devolve upon the United States marshal of the dis trict in which the prisoner lives to keep a supervision over him. In case a pris oner violates his parole the marshal shall execute a warrant for his recom mitment. Before a prisoner can be released upon parole it will be necessary for his" friends to secure him employment and this must be certified to the board be fcre it will make any recommendation in the case. The prison authorities are sending out to relatives of prison ers who have applied for parole, blanks to bo filled out and returned before the meeting next month. This blank must be signed by some one who has known the prisoner and who will agree to act as his first friend, or adviser while the prisoner is out on parole. It is not believed here that any of the prisoners will be released before the first or middle of January next. Freckles "Once Freckled Always Freckled No Longer True How to Remave Quickly Miss E. M.

Kansas capital and Kansas men are pushing forward an irrigation project between Pueblo and Fowler, along the New Santa Fe Trail, and in the very heart of the Arkansas valley, that promises quick results. This is the Orchard Park project of the Pueblo Land Irrigation com pany. The president of the company is Charles E. Sutton of Lawrence, president of the Kansas state board of agriculture, and its treasurer is J. F. Springfield, a noted engineer and a capitalist of some renown, who re cently became identified with the water, light and power companies of Hutchinson, combining two former companies engaged in these interprises in the Salt City. Theproject embraces 5,000 acres, and is just east of Pueblo. It lies beauti fully, and Is destined to become, as the name indicates, an orchard and in tensively cultivated area. Several Garden City, Hutchinson, Topeka, Manhattan and other Kansas people have bought tracts in Orchard Park. decided ever since the country was first settled as to where certain tracts of their land and that of their neigh bors began or ended, the rightful own ers to the same and the property boun daries thereto. This is what Uncle Sam wishes to solve in sending out sur veyors who have been working near Norway and Scandia now for over a week. GOVERNOR STUBBS IN CHICAGO. Will Testify Before Interstate Com merce Commission. Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 2 8. Governor Stubbs will appear before the inter state commerce commission in Chicago today to give testimony as to the cost of railroad construction in Kansas. He has been subpoenaed by the commis sion. Governor Stubbs testified before the commission during a hearing con ducted in Topeka two or three years ago and gave the most substantial in formation as a basis Cor figuring the cost of railroad construction over se cured by the commission. Members of the commission so stated at the time. Governor Stubbs has built railroads in Kansas and other middle western states and knows to a nicety, what it i costs to grade and lay a mile of track under ordinary conditions. He will give the commission the benefit of his knowledge on this subject. The com mission will use his testimony in the matter of the application of the rail roads for permission to increase trans portation rates. There is now and has been for months, a movement on to have freight rates represent a fair re turn on the investment of the railroad companies and Governor Stubbs con tends this can be done only when a physical valuation of railroad property has been made. The cold weatlier last night made practice lively for the Washburn foot ball squad and showed that the men were faster than was suspected from their previous practice. Coach Stew art is running Mclntire at end to be used there-in case of necessity. "Whit comb was back at practice again and with Hardy and Burkhart at halves the backfield is lined up for the Kan sas game. Stories of lots of K. U. money at odds of 3 to 1 on the outcome of Sat urday's game and even money that the Blue does not scce indicates great confidence at the university, and wor ries the Washburn boosters. The greater part of the student body will journey to Lawrence in automobiles or on the special train, nevertheless, "for until the team is finally beaten there is hope. Many still claim the Washburn team has never shown up to form and that a reversal from the listless play ought to occur this week. Scrimmage last night will be sup plemented with signal running and down field, practice tonight after which Coach Stewart will lecture his men on the plan of the battle. Nothing is be ing left undone to help the chances of the Blue, but it is impossible to get the cripples into condition to play and it will be a much weaker team than it was considered at the begin ning of the season. As few plays will be used as possible, the squad having mastered but a small proportion of the offense planned. The Washburn lineup for the con test will consist of Mclntire, left end; Mclntostu left tackle; Johnstone, left guard; De Frantz, center; Reazin, right guard; Titus, right rackle; Mc Carroil, right end; Crumbine, quarter; Hardy, left half; Burkhart, right half; Whitcomb, fullback. The game will not be called until after the Washburn rooters have reached the grounds from the special train which leaves over the Santa Fe at 1:30 o'clock. Tickets are on -sale at Fullerton s. The Kansas Aggies, who have made mince meat of all comers up to date. will continue the practice at Omaha Saturday with Creighton. The team with a round of substitutes left Man hattan today for fbe Nebraska metro polis. Marquette vanquished the Ne braska Catholics 18 to 3 after their stop at St. Marys. The score against St. Marys was lq to 0, so their lead in both games was 15 points. There was a suspicion that' if Marquette played the Aggies they.woukl have been beat en. Saturday's results will give an idea of what the result would have been. game would be impossible: Dr. Nor man, chairman of the athletic board; states, however, that as soon as Den ver bows her head to eligibility rules and other things, Colorado university will be, happy to play. This seems to be the 'psychological year for a game from the Boulder outlook, as Denver is weaker than for a couple of seasons. Pipe the College Life in the follow ing and then decide where to send your daughters to school:, Colorado Springs, Oct. 28. The pretty co-eds of Colorado college are in tears over an edict of the football coach, Claude J. Rothgeb, which"" places the ban not only on dancing, but on "spoon ing'' too, and creates an awful void, as they point out, in the otherwise beauti ful moonlight nights. There is a pros pect that after the Thanksgiving day game in Denver, Coach Rothgeb will rescind his action. Until then there is to be no more late, hours, "spooning" in the library or dan cing or theater parties vvith the foot ball men, which means that social life at Colorado college will be like Hamlet with the ghost cut out. Although he doesn't come right out and say so. Coach Rothgeb intimates that the defeat of the Mormons was due, in part, at least, to the fact that Utah s backfield attended a dance the night before, and the men were not in condition to play the game. As for dancing on the night following the game, Rothgeb says he isn't worrying about that, "as any man who puts his best into a game will be too tired to dance after it." Speaking of the fighting spirit in foot ball, the Colorado teams put on a brand quite the sensation. Not only do the players fight on the field but the man agers fight over the officials, and the professors fight over the conference regulations which seem to stand in a bad way to be observed. Now it is rumored the game between the Mines and the Colorado college may be cancelled on account of disagree ment over officials. The Denver News has a dispatch from Golden which in cludes the following: The Mines are ready to do anything within reason, but say they will not let the Tigers, backed up by D. U. and the Aggies, put anything across on them. Should the game be .cancelled it will no doubt precipitate a fight in the con ference .which probably will disrupt that organization. CHASE COUNTY PIONEER DEAD. WHOLE FAMILY HAS TYPHOID. Ottawa Well Water Is Infected With Dangerous Germs. j Ottawa, Kan., Oct. 28. The pitiful spectacle of a whole family sick with typhoid fever has come to the notice of the county authorities here. Four weeks ago Mrs. Marion E.

"IT'S ALL IN THE POWDER" Ours is made in our own mills from a patented secret formula, and is used solely in Robin Hood Ammunition. It force starts the instant the primer is hit, and increases as the powder ignites, creating a velocity that drives tie shot with ever-increasing force through the gun barrel. This shows that the (ever-increasing) push 13 aU in one direction, consequently there is very little "kick" to Robin Hood Ammuni tion. Because the recoil or "kick" from Other powders knocks you off your feet is no indication that they have superior velocity or pene trating power. The pressure wasted on your shoulder is lost motion that should be applied to force the shot. Astonishing gains in marksmanship have been made by the con vert to Robin Hood Ammunition simply because it enables him to shoot where he points the gun.

"I heartily approved of the action of the university council in abolishing football," said Dr. Butler, referring to the action taken five years ago. "To revive the game at Columbia would be a step back into the middle ages and a surrender of the repute which came to us through our decisive action in the matter. Hundreds of let ters, mailed all over the country, have come to Columbia, praising her for it; and lately even those students and alumni who were at first most loud in their denunciation of the council's ac tion, have come over to its way of thinking."

The system is one coach for all athletic teams ana The consequence seems to be that one man can not fill such a bill. King Cole is given credit by most critics for having- accom plished everything Nebraska could hope for. Whether the overwhelming defeat at the hands of Minnesota is ac countable for the decision on a change of man Is not known, but it is thought to be responsible for immediate an nouncement. The search for a new head coach probably will bring out the fact that King Cole leaves mighty big hole. The great game in the east tomor row is the Harvard-Army game at West Point, The outcome will give a fine line on the Harvard-Yale game of November 19. for the Army ran over Old Eli 9 to 3 on October 15. Last Saturday Harvard defeated Brown 12 to 0, while Yale was outpiayea Dut not defeated by Vanderbilt. 0 to 0, Harvard has yet to be scored upon and chances now are that her defense will keen the goal line clear through out the season, though such a feat under the present rules would seem miraculous. Yale meets Colgate, which tied Brown, 0 to 0, Saturday, and fur ther dopes the Crimson-Blue contest. The treat battle in the Chicago con ference scheduled for Saturday is the Chicago-Minnesota contest at Chicago. The Minnesota eleven, with a retinue of coaches and trainers arrived in Chicago, where they will work out this evening. Twenty players espe cially pointed at the Maroons made the tria. It is the determination of the Badgers to even up on the weak Chi cago team for their defeat last sea son. The odds were ail wun mem lasi year, but they could not turn the trick. There is a Question now. The first of the intersectionai foot ball battles of the season will be the Michigan-Syracuse game Saturday. Michigan will make the trip to Syra cuse. While the Wolverines have not shown much class so far this season, barely winning from the Aggies and tying Ohio State 3 to 3. it is thought Yost is holding his team in reserve and making poor showing for the ben efit of other Chicago conference teams. His defense is showing strong, while his backfield seems weak. Yost has always had a fast attack if anything, and the change this season is not thought genuine. Syracuse hardly will fall before the western team after the defeat of the Carlisle Indians 14 to 0 and the defeat of Rochester and Ho bart. Chicago goes to Ithaca to meet Cornell November 12 and Michigan meets Pennsylvania.. It is almost cer tain the east will be-victorious in both games. Dispatches from Boulder.

3 NO KELP FOR M'CANN. FACE CLEARED EEAUTI FULLY. e THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1910. 9 Illinois Supreme Court Sustains Jud ment of Lower Tribunal. Springfield, 111.. Oct. 28. The su preme court today affirmed the judg ment of the criminal court of Cook county against Edward McCann. in the appeal for a new trial rf the former police inspector of Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 28. Police Inspector McCann was convicted of accepting bribes for "protection" from gamblers and denizens of the underworld in the Desplaines street district. He was found Kuilty of accepting a bribe of J375 from the Frank brothers, own ers of several illegal houses. Inspector McCann was not only one of the best informed men in the po lice department, but an athlete as well. He rose in five vears from the rank of sergeant to command of the largest police division of the city. The Frank brothers, Julius and Louis, who had grown wealthy in the saloon busi ness and other pursuits peculiar to "tenderloin" districts, were the princi pal witnesses against the defendant. Immense sums are alleged to have been collected by McCann. The gath ering of immunity generally is said to have been pursued in systematic and business like fashion. There was. it is alleged, a regular schedule of prices. In the lower court McCann was sen tenced to serve from one to five years. Fending appeal he was admitted to bail in the sum of $50,000 which was readily secured as he has many friends who be lieve him innocent and the victim of a plot.

The extraordi nary precautions taken last night to protect Emperor William and Em press Auguste Victoria w hen they left the city at 11 o'clock for Berlin were explained today when the police an nounced that a letter threatening his majesty had been received at the royal palace yesterday. The letter was signed by a militant Brussels anarchist and read: "Since no one has had the courage to blow up the German autocrat, I have decided to throw a bomb." Efforts of the authorities to arrest the writer were fruitless and, accord ingly, unusual steps were taken to guard against anv untoward incident. All of the windows of the houses overlooking the streets through which the royal party passed from the pal ace to the railway station were ordered closed temporarily and the station it sflf was packed with troops. The rail way line for a considerable distance out of the city -was guarded. TO USE THE CANAL. Plans Under "Way for a Line of 15 Big Steamers. New Orleans.

Baker of New York. Mr. Baker is president of the National Conservation commission. He declared that the proposed company would be capi talized at $10,000,000 and would oper ate fifteen 10.000-ton steamers from the northern Pacific coast via San Francisco and Panama and from Colon to New Orleans and New York. Damages Awarded for False Arrest. New York, Oct. 2 8. Fifteen thous and dollars is the price a sheriff's jury at Mineola, Long Island, has decided Mrs. Mar Martin of this city must pay Robert Davison, an expressman, for causing his arrest on a charge of stealing a $3,000 necklace from her home when he called there to get a trunk. Mrs. Martin failed to press the charge before the grand jury and Davison was never indicted. He sued for $25,000. Tomorrow while the weather is fine brine the children to King. 827 Kan-, eas avenue. All Traces of Acne Are Gone Pos lam's Power Over All Skin Diseases. "For six years I had what some kin specialists term 'acne,' writes Mis Olive Brown, 9 97 West Delaware avenue, Buffalo, N. Y. "I doctored with some of the best physicians, but instead of improving it became worse. I used poslam faithfully, and after a month my face has cleared up beau tifully, without a single scar. How ever, I still continue to use poslam as a cleanser and preventer, and then, too, it has such a soothing effect." Poslam is probably the most wide ly recommended remedy available to the public. Any one will appreciate why this is so after sending to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth street. New York City, for a samle (mailed free in plain wrapper) and seeing its work demon strated in the quick removal of pim ples, rashes, eruptions, undue redness or in clearing the complexion over night. Poslam should be used when ever the skin ails. Worst cases of eczema, tetter, scabies, itch and like surface skin troubles yield to it read ily, itching being stopped at once. Poslam is sold by all druggists, par ticularly Rosser Drug Co. and Fred A. Snow, in two sizes, at 60 cents and $2.00. GARDEN CITY EXCITED. Transfer of John Springer to Reforma tory Not Popular. Garden City, Kan., Oct. 28. This community is considerably wrought up over the transfer of John Springer from the penitentiary to the Hutchin son reformatory. Springer was sentenced to the peni tentiary for a crime against a little girl. His case was an aggravated one, as he was a man who was 25 years old and had offended before. The people were, therefore, indignant when they found that he had been transferred to the reformatory. He was defended by the firm of which R. J. Hopkins, Re publican nominee for lieutenant gover nor and who is also on the reformatory board is a member. SAVES HER BROTHER. Girl's Screams Frighten Wolf That Was Carrying Him Off. Marshfield, Wis., Oct. 28. The screams of the five-year-old daughter of Herman Bilgrien, who lives two miles from this city, saved the life of the farmer's two-year-old son. who was being carried away by a huge tim ber wolf. The wolf entered the farm yard where the children were playing and seizing the boy started for the woods. The girl, however, ran after her brother screaming until the wolf was so frightened that it dropped the boy practically unhurt. PRISON REFORM FOR CUBA. Special Commissioner Is Inspecting the American System, New York, Oct. 28.' According to Senor Manuel Secades. a special com missioner delegated by the Cuban gov ernment to make a study of police jails and prisons here, a government prison and ten police jails will shortly be built in Havana from plans to be prepared by New York architects. The buildings will be designed along lines similar to those adopted by the police department of this city. The prison system of Cuba will undergo a com plete change and new methods will be substituted for the old way of caring for prisoners which has been in use on the island for many years. Before returning to Cuba, Senor Se cades will inspect the federal peniten tiary at Atlanta and the Illinois state prison at Joliet. Living Is Cheaper In Canada. Pittsfield, Mass., Oct. 28 The eost of living in the United States is 33 per cent higher than in Canada, according to Congressman Eugene N. Foss, Democratic candidate for governor.

The State Journal la a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization (or the exclusive afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received In The State Jwir aal building over wires for this sole pur- Aeronauts Post and Hawley now oc cupy a prominent place in the "come back class. Connie Mack and four members of his victorious band of Athletics have concluded the necessary arrangements (or home runs via the matrimonial altar. When we read .of the millions of bac teria In a drop of milk, remarks the Albany Evening Journal, we must won der how there can remain any room for the milk. More baseball balm for Chicago. Tha team of the University of Chicago, which is touring In the Orient, con tinues to win games from Japanese school boys. When it comes to making money, the persimmon will have to be awarded to the treasury department. It is going to turn out $1;200,000 worth of dollar bills a dr. for three or four weeks. Most of the Haytien army seems to have been destroyed in the disaster to the Haytien gunboat Liberte. At least the dispatches say. that ten generals of the army, who were, passengers, wero killed. It appears that King "Victor Em manuel of Italy spends most of his time rushing from one part of his king dom to another which has been visited and almost overwhelmed by a disaster Of some sort. Possibly no one had any idea that playing golf was so valuable, but a Chicagoan has asked for 120,000 dam ages because he was so injured in fall ing from a street car that he cannot play golf any more. Some of the Manobos tribesmen are on the war-path in the Philippines. It t -n't be long now before there will oe plenty of work for the more peaceably Inclined Manobos who are engaged in the undertaking business. If Uncle Joe Cannon needed any ou slde help to get a re-election to con gress from his district, no one .would have reason to be much surprised if Colonel Roosevelt hopped over to Illi nois and lent his aid. Dr. Cook's friends declare that he and they are going to have no diffi culty la proving that Mr. Peary did not get anywhere near the North Pols. This North Pole controversy Is evi dently going to be with us always. Belva A. Lockwood is apparently 80 years young. She has Just celebrated that birthday and says that so far-as she knows there Is not any difference in being SO and in being 28. Some of the folk who consider themselves old at 40 and look and act the part ought to spruce up a bit. William Chase, the well known Amer ican artist. Is back from Europe with an expression of fear that the new tariff law which admits works of art, including- paintings, free of duty, will be responsible for flooding this coun try with spurious "old masters." Well, what's the odds In one way? It Is only the very rich who get into the market for this variety of lemons. Surely the Chicagoans are hard losers. Says the Chicago Tribune con cerning the recent world's champion ship series: "It may as well be admit ted that the Cubs were outbatted, out fielded, outpitched and outumpired." The emphasis, it will be seen, is placed on the "outumpired." Evidently there must be a pronounced streak of Eng lish sporting blood In Chicagoans veins. Real yellow journalists do not get much consideration in England. One of them, who was reporting the Crippen case, provided his paper with a story to the effect that Dr. Crippen admitted he purchased hyoscln and had con fessed to the murder of his wife. The court ordered this newspaper man's ar rest for publishing a falsehood, finid him $1,000, and ordered him imprisone-1 until the fine Is paid. L. IX Brandies, the lawyer who rep resented Collier's and the rest of the prosecution In the Ballinger-Plnchot in vestigation, and who represents a large number of big shippers In the present freight rate controversy, has an idea that the railroads do not conduct their business as economically as they should. And It is just possible that the name criticism might be applied to my of the shippers of the land. SURE ASD SWIFT JUSTICE. If some method of court procedure and the administration of justice, such as prevails in England, could be 'estab lished in the courts of the United States, a great boon would be con ferred on society. There would soon be much more respect for the majesty of the law, and the waves of crime which are spreading over the land would be gin to subside. The sure and swift fashion with which Justice moves in Great Britain has been illustrated again in the hand ling of the cases against Dr. Crippen and Miss Leneve. Dr. Crippen's crime will take its place as one of the fiend ish murders of all time. Its execution was as crafty as it was cruel. It was no easy task to furnish evidence that would place the crime at his door, es pecially In the matter of proving the corpus delicti, that the fragments of the flesh found in the cellar of his home were parts of the body of the woman he killed. Here was an opportunity for a stubborn defense and Dr. Crippen. through his friends, was able to obtain the services of the best legal talent. Yet it only took a few days to try this case in court, even' with expert wit nesses on both sides. The jury did its work in 30 minutes. There Is a sugges tion from no one' but Dr. Crippen had a fair trial or that the verdict against him is not a just one. His sen tence to death was fixed to be execu ted less than three weeks from the time of. his conviction. And in the case of Miss Leneve her trial as an accessory after the fact and her ac quittal was brought about within a few hours. Nor is there a suggestion that there was a miscarriage of justice in this case. It is almost unnecessary to state what the procedure would have been in any part of this country had the Crippen and Leneve trials been held here. It would have taken two or three weeks to get a jury In the Crippen case. The trial would have dragged along for a month or six weeks longer. A con viction would have been followed by appeals that would have postponed the execution of Crippen's sentence indefin itely. Maybe the higher courts would have found a few technicalities of suf ficient weight to send the case back to another trial. Perhaps another Jury might disagree or bring in a verdict of not guilty and then justice would be thwarted. There would have been the same tedious sort of a trial in the Leneve case, and perhaps an injustice might have been done the girl through the lealousness of prosecuting attor neys to secure a conviction and there by enhance their reputation for being clever gentlemen. And it is trials of this sort In this country, where facts are generally subordinated to. technicalities, that en courage the criminal element or those who may be tempted to crime to ply their nefarious trade. They have con fidence that smart lawyers can get them put of their difficulties by putting tech nical obstructions in the path of jus tice, as they too frequently and suc cessfully do. TfO HKKO FUND FOR THEM. Mr. Andrew Carnegie's hero fund has effected good in helping poor and worthy boys and young men who had done sor- heroic act, to make head way In the world, notwithstanding the disadvantages of poverty, writes Henrv Mann In the November Columbian. However, there are other kinds of heroism besides' pulling a drowning person out of the water, or rescuing the helpless inmates of a house on fire. The mother who toils night and day to support a crippled husband and de pendent children is a good deal of a heroine. The parent going without food so that the little ones may have something to eat; the brave sister or big brother working all hours to keep the family together when father and mother have gone to their final rest all these are heroes or heroines; and there are many such In our great cities. Their names don't get in the news papers, or glare at readers In six-Inch headlines; and their sacrifices may be known only to God, to themselves, and to those whom they benefit; but the blood of heroes is in their veins; they are of the same stuff as the soldier who leads a forlorn hope, who thrusts himself on the bayonets of the foe, that his comrades may rush forward to victory. General Grant was never more a hero in the stress and storm of battle than he was in those dark latter days, when knowing that the seal of death was on his brow, he struggled to com plete his memoirs so that his family might not suffer, and that his debts should be paid. AH honor to the heroes of fire and flood and war, but don't forget that there are thousands Just as heroic, for whom there are no Carnegie medals, no popular applause, no reward or recognition save the sweet pleasure of doing good, the consciousness of duty performed. "THE BEST TARrFF LAW." Were many of the Republican con gressional insurgents consistent they would be climbing on the housetops and criticising Colonel Roosevelt for his stand on the tariff law quite as severely as they have condemned the position taken by President Taft on this same law. When Mr. Taft deliv ered his first defense of the Payne law In his Winona speech and called It the "best tariff law" that had been placed on the statute books, many of the Re publican insurgents worked themselves up Into a fine frenzy with their criti cisms. Not only did they insist that the new tariff law was a betrayal of the tariff pledge in the Republican national platform. They insisted that because there had been Increases in some of the schedules and these Increases chiefly concerned articles that are ad mitted to be among the luxuries of life it was a much worse effort at tariff revision than was the Dingley law which it superseded. During the past few weeks Colonel Roosevelt has delivered several speech es in which he has discussed the tariff question and the new tariff law.. One of these speeches was delivered by Mr. Roosevelt at Sioux Falls. He after wards reprinted this same speech in the Outlook where he added this sen tence: "I think the present tariff is better than the last and considerably better than the one before the last." President Taft's assertion at Wi nona, and which he has since reiter ated on several occasions to the effect that the Payne tariff law is the best tariff law that has yet- been placed on the statute books, would appear to be right in line with the Idea of Colonel Roosevelt on this same point, for there Is surely no contention that any of the tariff laws, which the country has had, has been better than either of the two laws which preceded the present statute. And the sentiment appears to be growing throughout the country that the new tariff law, with its tariff com mission feature, its maximum and minimum feature, its many reduced schedules, and regardless of Its several defects. Is the best tariff law that has yet been devised. And Its further re vision by piecemeal as the tariff com mission obtains actual facts on which honest revisions can be made, as Presi dent Taft has planned, will make it a better and a better law. In calling j it the best tariff law. President Taft i did not style it as a perfect piece of tariff legislation, although that Is what some. of the fault finders have tried to contend. JOURNAL ENTRIES Most of the petty quarrels of life are unnecessary. ft Multum in pa'rvo A small serving of boarding house hash. What has become of the old-fashioned signs? "Beware of the Dog." In addition to teeth some women are also equipped with a biting tongue.

The theory that the good die young is not very popular with old folk. JAYHAWKER JOTS The day is fast approaching, says Mack Cretcher, when the women of the aristocracy will be wearing alfalfa seed necklaces with a bacon rind peni- ant. A This year's crop of broom corn will make 42.000,000 brooms, notes the Ot tawa Republic, and then it remarks: This is not an exact computation merely a sweeping estimate. Another way people have of letting other people know they own an auto mobile, says the Atchison Champion, is to let it stand out In front of the house and allow grease to run all over the pavement. A returned missionary In Ottawa re cently gave out an interview praising the young. Turk. Being an American and Thanksgiving so near at hand, re marks the Republic, naturally her at titude is favorable to that bird. Kansas printers and proof readers seem determined to confuse Old Doc Crumbine and Old Doc Crippen, notes the Emporia Gazette, which a dels: These eminent practitioners are equal ly distinguished, but their methods are so different that there is no ex cuse for confusion. A young Wichita lawyer, recently ad mitted to the bar, and a little awkward In his choice of words and exDressions in English, relates the Eagle, wrote as follows recently to the widow of a de ceased friend: "I cannot tell you how I am pained to hear that your husband has gone to heaven. He and I were bosom friends, but now we will never meet again." Good advice from the Fort Scott Re publican: The safest way to vote for a county attorney is to learn for cer tain which candidate is being opposed by all the gamblers, bootleggers, and sympathizers with law violations, and vote for him. They are always a unit for one candidate. It's always easy to learn who he is. And it's the good citizen's duty to learn and vote lor the other man. In answering anxious correspondents in his Leavenworth Labor Chronicle, "Dick" Madison has the following to say to "Dark Eye Lashes'": No, don't marry a young man who drinks or smokes cigarettes. After it Is too late you will arise and call for a recon sideration, but your motion will be lost. A drunkard will walk 13 miles around a pool table of an evening, but refuse to carry a colicky baby for 12 minutes. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. A man always has a lot on hand he never attends to. It is twice as easy to make a man sore as It Is to remove the sore spot. Some men make a living- simply be cause other people feel sorry for them. We are always hearing that people are "hard up," but it's the same people. It usually happens that a mystery doesn't amount to much after it is solved. By the time some men get a thing fairly started, they quit it, and engage in some thing else. Nothing looks more out-of-plaee than a well-dressed woman and a husband who wears shabby clothes. Of all the different brands of Excite ment, the excitement connected with a strike is probably the worst. You can' get up a discussion any time by asking this question: "Is a squirrel better to eat than a rabbit?" As a general rule, a boy doesn't care muchi to chew gum, except in school where he knows the teacher will kick. The man in business who isn't making money always insists that there is Buch fierce competition that no one In his line is doing well. Health cranks who go without break fast are like men who quit smoking: they quit for awhile, and then eat bigger breakfasts than ever. Men who' work in an office always ex cuse their poor handwriting by saying It was ruined by typewriting. Nothing In It; they never could write legibly. When you apologize, do you admit you are wrong, or do you lay the blame on the other fellow? It you use the latter method, you only make- matters worse. Two men who have had a fist fight, and hammered each other hard, can make up easier than two men who have gos siped and lied about each other for years. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New York-Press. It's expensive to get "divorced, but a lot more so to stay married. What makes it so easy to marry a girl is she pretends it's so hard. It seems as If people try harder to be fools than they will try to be anything else. Either a man pays rent and wishes he owned his house or he owns it and wishes he paid rent. A man can put his stocks and bonds in a deposit vault for safe keeping, but there's no place where he eaa keep his reputation out of danger. KANSAS COMMENT WOMEN DEFENDED. Booth Tarkington, the novelist and playwright, has purposely, or unwit tingly lowered the standard of the manhood he has always maintained, by ascribing to woman, a lower sense of morality, than is man's. Mr. Tark ington bases his unfair assumption on the fact that a woman will some times "go through" her husband's pockets, unknown to him. The novel ist Infers, if he is correctly quoted, that the wife who places her hand in the pocket of her husband, does it in a spirit of petty thievery, and never for an instant deigns to attribute any of the niggardly or dishonest prin ciples so common to men, to the poor down-trodden husband. As a rule, when a woman "goes through" the pockets of the man upon whom she is dependent for her food, her cloth ing and in many instances, her very life, Is a slave to an unprincipled be ing who deserves no consideration on any account. Some women may be of a prying, repulsive disposition -and may invade the "sacred" provinces of her husband without excuse; but the average woman 'has neither disposi tion nor cause to enter the private wardrobe of her husband, unknown to him, if he is the right kind of a man and an ample provider. Mr. Tarking ton's views will not meet- the approval of the husband who respects and hon ors his wife: neither will they meet with the approbation of America's womanhood, who, as a class, is too far above him In home ethics, to pay any serious attention to his senile mutterings. Hutchinson Gazette. HOME ECONOMICS. It Is the growing belief that all large schools should teach home economics including fhe subjects usually known as domestic science and domestic art. In accordance with this belief and in response to an increasing demand on the part of students, the University of Kansas has reorganized and enlarged its department of home economics and placed It under the management- of an expert in this line of Instruction. New quarters for the classes in cooking have been fitted up by the university and the head of the department, Miss Edna D. Day, is preparing to give prac tical instruction to this and kindred subjects. The prospects are that the enrollment for the year will be very large. The opinion is sometimes ex pressed that every girl who attends the university should not only have the opportunity, but should be required to study such subjects as cooking and the management of the home.

The voters of Kansas will decide l the coming election whether the mem bers of the legislature shall receive $500 for their services at each regular session of the legislature and $100 for each special session. Surely the great, wealthy state of Kansas can afford to pay its law makers this measly salary At the present time they are receiving about $300 for each regular session, which is not enough to pay their ex penses. Kansas cannot afford longer to rest under the1 disgrace of paying her law makers less than she pays tha hod carriers on her public buildings. Let Montgomery county have it said ot her that she favors, a fair wage to the men who give up their business to look after the affairs of the state. Inde pendence Reporter. PERSISTENT CHINESE. That Chinese laborers, with an over weening desire to gain admittance into the United States or Canada, 'are not dismayed by go small a thing as the lack of a cordial welcome Is evident from the persistency with which they worm their way into the two coun tries. Sometimes they succeed in. their undertaking, but very frequently they are caught and deported a process, by the way, which is attended by no little expense. The four, for instance, who were taken from a boxcar at Holyoke, Mass., on September 18, have, been started back to China by way jf San Francisco, and It Is estimated that their deportation will cost the govern ment between J1.200 and J1.&00. Mean while, Canadian secret service officers have just made their second haul of contraband Chinamen since the offi cial investigation into the smuggling of Chinese laborers was begun. Satur day night or Sunday, they captured 18 Orientals, who arrived at Vancouver on board the steamer Empress of India. These Chinamen attempted to evade payment of the head tax by declaring themselves as merchants, each being provided with letters by a Vancouver interpreter, who was formerly engaged as a customs official.

This certainly Is Mr. Shaw's profoundest utterance. If marks the acme of his greatness as a sage. By all means buy it by weight, then there can be very little ground for complaint at the high price of novels. Moreover, It will be in direct line with this popular movement to buy groceries by weight, as a means of solving the high-cost-of-living problem and getting one's money's worth. Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will have the desired effect of limiting the output, of bringing the supply some where heaf the demand. The present method of buying it by the yard seems utterly to have failed in this achieve ment. That means of measurement has not even proved wholly successful with reference to Dr. Eliot's five-foot book self, which, of course, no one but Shaw ever would have thought of buying by the pound.

With the development of Interurban electric railway service has come a de mand for some rigid control of the operation of these lines for the protec tion of the traveling public. On Sep tember 21 a wreck occurred on an In diana trolley line in which M persons were killed and a score Injured. In the wreck at Stanton, 111., a few days ago, 36 were killed and 39 injured. In both cases it has been shown that the wrecks were caused either by reckless ness or absolute disregard of orders. In the Illinois wreck it was developed at the coroner's inquiry that one of th crews had orders to wait at a certain siding for the northbound train. Tho southbound train was ahead of time and the crew decided it could make the next siding. The collision and its toll of life resulted. A somewhat similar disregard of orders caused the Indiana wreck. The two wrecks emphasize the necessity of electric lines, either of their own motion or by state direction, adopting and enforcing just as rigid a system of rules as obtains in the opera tion of steam railroads.

"Now, whoever in the world Mrs. Rose began. Her gossip Mrs. Brant checked with a gesture. "Don't you say a word, Sarah," she Interjected. "You've got no room not after what has happened right in your own house." "If Phoebe did run away with old Boyer It was in broad daylight," Mrs. Rose retorted. "Because nobody was at home and Ned might have come and married her right in the parlor if he'd a-had the spirit of a mouse." Mrs. Brant flung back: "As for Milly Gray and Jimmy Hinton, I say It's a shame they got caught. Not that I approve of runaway matches but with a daddy like the squire, it's all the sort of a match Milly ever can make." "That's all you know spite o' think ing you know everything," Mrs. Rose said huffily. "Milly can have the big gest sort of wedding, and four new silk dresses, any time she'll say yes to Steve Murray. Squire thinks the sun rises and sets in Steve "Because nobody else does, I reck on," Mrs. Brant broke in with spirit. "My land! If that's how the wind blows stopping as though further speech would be an impertinence. "You're wrong again," Mrs. Rose said acidly. "At least, according to my guess. Squire wants Milly to mar rv Steve partly because Steve's so driving and thriving, but more because he thinks, with Steve clean out of the count, Widow- McBee might change her name to Gray as It is, she won't hear to it." "Won't eh? That Is news." Mrs. Brant chuckled. "She's a sight young er than the squire not so much more'n Milly's age. But there's no fool like an old one all of us know that. I'm glad you told me, Sarah. All along I've wanted to help Milly now I'm just bent and bound to do it some way, somehow." Mrs. Brant was an ally worth hav ing shrewd, bold, a person of conse quence in the neighborhood, also a person of substance and all powerful with her husband. She went straight to see Milly; thence on to the' Widow McBee. a person rather vaeue as to everything save a sense that she was entitled always to have her own way. "It ought to be the minister, not me. come to talk to you, Maria." Mrs. Brant began without preamble as she sat down in the second best McBee rocker. "At your time of life, a wid ow, too, and-a church member, the Idee of keeping two men dangling, not knowing where they stand I say it's shameful." "Whatever do you mean Mrs. Mc Bee demanded, bridling with delight. She had married her only chance his death had left her well endowed. but so far she had so few beaux, the Imputation of coquetry was incense to her starved vanity. "I'll name, no names, right ont, Mrs. Brant said diplomatically. "But It's all over the neighborhood that two of the best chances In it are just plum off their heads on account of you. No. I won't tell you who but If you ask my advice I might say which and let you guess the other." "You always would tease, Julia Brant," Mrs. McBee simpered. "Now, I don't know one bit what you're driving at but go ahead and pick out a good husband for me seeing you make out I can get one for the tak ing." "Asa Gray ia as cranky as a ram's horn, most ways but his wife was a queen to him what wouldn't a sec ond wife be?" Mrs. Brant demanded. "Nobody needn't hang back over the daughter, neither Milly s going into a decline, if ever I saw anybody that was this morning, when I went there. she sat looking over her mother's jew- i elry you know Mrs. Gray had dia monds and a ruby ring, and the cun- ningest watch, blue enamel all over and she said to me right pitiful: I hope daddy will get some nice, pretty woman to wear all these. He must have somebody when I'm gone." "The poor child!" Mrs. McBee ejaculated. "How can her pa cross her and she In such a state?" "Men are cruel when they're jeal ous," Mrs. Brant pronounced oracular ly. "Squire, used to think Milly could 1 not do a wrong thing but since he fell in love and you torment him so r "Now, Julia, .you're making out a lot more than is true," Mrs. McBee broke in. "If I thought you were tell ing the truth I'd never have another minute's peace until things were straightened." "Then get to work right off," Mrs. I Brant demanded. j "How can I?" her hostess asked, j Mrs. Brant turned scornful eyes on her. "You, a woman and a widow, ask me that?" she said. "When you know better than anybody, all you've sot to do it to tell Asa Gray unless j he treats his daughter right, you'll say yes to Steve Murray "I never named him you can't say I did," Mrs. McBee cried, flushing deeply. In truth Mrs. Brant had come to her at the psychological moment- Steve Murray had all but rejected the McBee farm and its mistress only the evening before. Both had been of fered tentatively, but In a way he could not choose but understand. He had been brutal in a seeming of mis understanding judge, then, what balm Mrs. McBee found in her friend s sum Dt ions. Mrs. Brant pursed her lip. "I reckon nobody needs to name him not as long as they've got eyes to see she said. "It'll serve him out fine, you taking: the squire. Steve's made his brags all along; he had just to say the word, and any woman would marry him." "He Is a conceited thing," Mrs. Mc Bee admitted. "But I can't think about my own concerns I'm going right straight off to see poor little Mil ly. And If I get the chance, her pa'll get one good talking to I'm going to tell him to let her marry jimmy tun ton rieht off. and send them out to California, where Milly can get strong again. Patience knows, he's got the monev to do it and if he hasn t "You have. And you can't put it to better use," Mrs. Brant said heartily. "Maria, you talk like a mother and a Christian I love you better than I ever did before." The very next afternoon' Mrs. Mc Bee drove away from the Gray phvee, her face wreathed in smiles- Milly had clung to her, weeping tears of Joy as they parted, and the squire had handed her Into her bcegy, with an air of devotion wonderful to see. "You say I may come over tomorrow morn ing?" he had asked. "Good! We'll settle everything And I can't thank you enough for makin me see the right" He waa not so old, not yet fifty, moreover, fine looking and of a good presence, much more personable than Steve Murray at his best, she decid ed. And the Gray place was certain ly a home any woman might be proud of. She could queen it there as 3he had never done in her own small house the late Silas McBee had held that money was to be kept, not spent. To do her justice, her heart warmed more at the memory of Milly face than at the thought of all the- material gain such a marriage meant to her. She was radiant with a radiance that went far to making her handsome. Steve Murray realized it suddenly they met in the road a little way off his own gate. "Howdy, Miss Maria. I guess I'll come over tonight," he said off-hand-edly. "Seems like I recollect some thing you said when I was there last that I didn't answer right." "Now, I wonder what It could a-been!" Mrs. McBee said reflectively. "Oh! I remember now it was about the Blue Games. You forgot to tell me whether or not you wanted them If you do want ehem you're Just in time to be too late Squire Gray has spoke for all I've got as well as ev erything else- on the place." A meaning droop of lids carried home the last words. Steve wheeled his horse and galloped angrily away. Manlike, he had found out that he wanted the widow badly in the mo ment he knew her to be beyond reach. (Copyrighted 1910 by Associated Literary Press.) Gay Marine Jailed. Every time Robert E. Barnes, an enlisted man in the United States ma rine corps, stationed in the barracks in the Brooklyn navy yard, receives an allowance from his wealthy parents he finds the arduous routine of service life a bore. He has a way of his own to vary the monotony that has caused trouble often in the last few months. His last escapade has cost him two months fit his freedom, and yesterday he was nut in the brig, or prison, con-i gratulating himself on his luck in not having been discharged dishonorably from tha service. Barnes, who will inherit a rich estate, formerly was a sergeant, but by his protracted absences without leave he gradually -has been .reduced in rank, and the chance he once had of getting a commission as a second lieutenant is lost, About two months ago Barnes was a sergeant with a fine military record, and he eir-od well in the estimation of his offici -s. He In herited a large amount of money, and from the day he came into possession of the first allowance his downward career began. At that time it was reo ported he spent J 13,000 In two weeks, remaining away from the barracks for several days. He is said to have spent the mnnev in lav chamnasrne Runners and automobile rides that furnished1 the squad rooms with something to talk about for weeks. When he returned to the barracks he was placed under arrest and tried by summary court martial. A board of three officers sentenced him to be reduced to a corporal, and it was thought this r punishment would straighten him out. But there was more money to be spent, and the temptation proved too strong for Barnes. He was reported absent with out leave soon after, and as long aa the money lasted he shunned the bar racks. On his return he was brought before another summary court and was disrated to private, with a loss of one month's pay. He just had recovered from this shock when another allowance of sev eral thousand dollars came, and Barnes found the roll of bank notes much too burdensome for his pockets). Again he flew to his old haunts, and it was conceded this time he had made his last disappearance, for he now was a private, and if he return ed it was more than likely he would get "a yellow ticket," or dishonorable discharge. Barnes had been gone nine days, and. when it seemed his name would be added to the roll of deserters, those absent ten days or more, he surprised the officer of the day by reporting just one hour inside the limit. Once more the brig held him, and another summary court was convened to try him. His comrades sympathized with him, for they saw visions of the cer emony when he would be drummed out of the navy yard. But Barnes luck was with him again. The court sentenced him to 60 days' imprison ment and the loss of two months' pay. New York Press. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. TProm the Chicago News. Empty heads are the easiest turned. Better prlve away your time than spend It foolishly. It Is usually the "good fellow" who has the most bad habits. A widow's second matrimonial play Is apt to be a sure-thing game. As a matter of fact the majority of people would like to be honest. The principles of a good many men run to inclinations and then stop. Few women are as handsome as they think men ought to think they are. It's tough on a man who is too lazy to work and can't get elected to office. Two may be able to live as cheaply as one If the one doesn't have to pay ali mony. While it is well to meet your obligations promptly, it is better to have no obliga tions. If a man is honest with himself he can be depended upon to give his neighbors a square deal. After a man has been married a week he begins to unlearn a lot of things he knew about women. A married man says the shortest season of the year is the time between fall millinery openings and Christmas. The girl who says she wouldn't marry the best man living is lucky if she doesn't eventually capture one of the worst. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.
