Mr. Kindel's statement came as an angry retort to an interruption by a delegate. The Denver man was de livering an address advocating the parcels post in which he blamed the express companies for the annual postoffice deficit and said that if the laws against these express companies were enforced and a general parcels post established, the postoffice depart ment would be insured against annual deficits. "Why don't you put some of these ideas into a resolution to be placed before the congress?" shouted a dele gate from the floor. "Because this congress is controlled by lobbyists representing these same robber express companies." retorted Kiniiel, "and by lobbyists for the rail roads and the sugar trust, evidence of whose presence here has been given repeatedly."

Darrow, chief of counsel for the defense demanding to know whether or not the court was being run according to legal procedure, the Mc.Namara murder trial acquired snap today which has not character ized proceedings for sometime. In cidentally it became a question wheth er a man who cannot remember the text or last Sunday's sermon is quali fied for jury service. Talesman J. A. iioss. 3 years old, -was the storm cen ter oi the proceedings which at times brought Harrow's voice to a shout of anger and brought repeated cautions from the court. Ross under questions tiesigned to show incapacity, said he was of poor hearing and worse mem ory. "Were you in church last Sunday?' asked Darrow. "Yes.'' "What was the sermon about?" "I can't remember exactly?" Lo you remember anything that wa3 said "No." "You haven't had much education have you "No." "You don't understand largo words?" "No." Darrow turned to Assistant District Attorney Horton: "Do von want nnv further showinar?" he asked. "There has not been any showing yet." retorted Horton. "I'll keen on." said Darrow. and found that Rosa could remember the riames of no speakers at any meet ings he had attended for months. "If you sat for weeks or months and heard people talk could you remem 1 er what they said?" asked Darrow finally. "No." said Ross. C. Ross Is Challenged.

An effort was made to force an ad mission from Mrs. Rogers that when May ran away and went to LyNJon recently, that the mother struck her with a heavy grip, beat and abused her. Mrs. Rogers said this was not true. She also denied that she was an affinity -of a man named War mouth, or that she had not used or dinary care and prudence In rearing the daughter. The girl's sister, Laura Rogers, told State the JurY of frequent telephone calls to tne Benedict home and or excuses which Mrs. Benedict gave when she asked to speak to her sister. Gen eral denials of many of the important statements and charges of the state are made by witnesses for the defense. and the trial of the action will occupy tne greater .portion of the day.

Two widely different stories as to why May Rogers left home were told today in Judge Schoch's court in the prosecution of J. E. Benedict and wife, charged with the delinquency of the 15-year-old Topeka girl. May Rogers herself can not be found. Any num ber of search and seizure warrants and two weeks' search by the police and county officials failed to produce the girl whe nthe hearing was called this morning before a Jury in the probate court. Recently the girl left her home at 60 3 Topeka avenue and went to work tor tne .Benedicts in tneir rooming holuae at 615 Topeka avenue. The girl failed to return to her mother and Benedict and his wife were arrested on a state charge. The story of the mother from the witness stand today was corroborated largely by officers who aided In the search for the missing daughter. Mrs. Rogers said her daughter was permit ted to work at the Benedict home a few days, but when her employment ceased, she failed to return to her home. The nit was that Mrs. Rogers made frequent calls at the Benedict home and insisted that May should re turn. The mother said Benedict and his wife would not let her leave the boarding house. Mrs. Rogers Testifies. On one occasion, Mrs. Rogers testi fied, she went to the Benedict home for her daughter. The girl was in a room in company with Benedict and wife, a Miss Benedict and F. G. Dren- j nlng, an attorney. The mother moth er asked the child to come home, but members ot tne household took the girl from the room and ordered the mother to leave the premises. Then the mother went to the Dolice and county attorney with her troubles. Accompanied by plain clothes men, she again visited the Benedist home. De tective Frank Summers and Mrs. Rogers both testified that Benedict himself ordered the mother to leave the house, slammed the door in her face fnd caught the woman's foot in the door jam. In one room of the ouse. they saw the young girl, but they had no authority to enter the ouse and could not take her. When fflcers returned later in the dav with search and seizure warrants. Mav Rogers was not to be found. That was the last time the mother saw her child. Mrs. Benedict's Charges. NET EARNING LESS Tlio Vnlon Pacific's Common Stock Yields 16.61 Per Cent. New Tork, Nov. 16.

Two widely different views of the political situa tion in Kansas were given today by two men oi Kansas city, Kan., who are in Washington. W. R. Childs, postmaster, denlnred that President Taft not cnlv will get the solid Republican delegation from Kansas but that the state will be for him by a big majority in the general election. Judge Richard Higgins entertains an opposite view to that taken by Mr. Childs. The Prediction of Mr. Higgins. "Kansas will go Democratic, In my opinion, beyond a question," asserted Judge Higgins. "All the logic of the situation points to it. A year, ago Representative Mitchell was chosen to succeed Charles F. Scott by a majority of 3,500. "Mr. Mitchell died, and last Tuesday the Democratic candidate for congress, Mr Taggart, defeated the insurgent Republican candidate, Mr. Guyer, by 1.200,' a change of several thousand votes, indicating beyond a doubt, I think, that there has been a tremen dous change in sentiment. "In the Seventh, or Madison district, which comprises about a third of thn counties of Kansas, the Republicans have nominated Mr. Martin to succeed Repre sentative Madison, who died recently, but it was only after a bitter struggle, in which Lieutenant Governor Hopkins was a candidate. "The Democrats have chosen Mr. Neeley, a brother-in-law of Governor Stubbs, the Insurgent Republican execu tive, and it seems inevitable to me that the Democrats also will capture this dis trict, which has long been Republican. The election will be held within a month. 'r Harmon or Wilson. "There is another good indication that Kansas will go against Taft or any other Republican nominee next year, and that is the big reduction in the plurality of Governor Stubbs. which was decreased from 60,000 to S.UtMJ. The state will be either for Harmon or Wilson for president. I predict Wilson. but there is no denying the strength of Speaker Clark. Without doubt the domi nant issue in the next campaign will be the record of the Democrats in the Sixty second house. So far that has been so splendid that it will make thousands of votes, and. naturally. Clark, as speaker, comes In for a large share of the glory5 P.

Packey McFarland, it was- announced, would leave Chicago today for the Pacific coast to begin training for his tight on Thanksgiving day with "Harlem" Tommv Murphy at San Francisco. With his departure there was a rumor that he might meet Cham pion Ad Wolgast on Uie coast on New Tear's day. come before tomorrow as a result of Judge Kohlsaat In the United States circuit court granting 24 hours' delay for counsel for the packers to answer affidavits filed today by government at torneys. Iti the meantime, arguments were presented by attorneys for the government arguing that writs issued November 14 be quashed and the gov ernment allowed to proceed with its trial, set for next day on indictments charging violation of the Sherman anti trust law. In any event, it is not believed the trials of the packers will begin Mon day. In case Judge Kohlsaat sustains the government contention that the packers' petition was not in good faith and quashes the writ. The indicted men have announced they will appeal to the supreme cotrt and thus obtain a rul ing on the constitutionality of the crim inal seccfons of the Sherman law, this according to counsel will have the ef fect of preventing trial on the indict ment until after the ruling. Should Judge Kohlsaat sustain the packers pleas and grant the writs, the govern ment will appeal to the supreme court. The government attorneys asked the court to quash its writ on the alleged grounds that the packers never legally were surrendered into the custody of the court and for that reason no writ of habeas corpus should have been is sued. District Attorney Wilkerson fled an affidavit to support the motion to quash, in which he set forth at some length the technical reasons for the government's motion. The Government's Contentions. The chief contentions of the affida it were that the packers had not act ed in good faith in applying to the cir cuit court and that the circuit court was without Jurisdiction. The motion to quash was asked for the following reasons: 1. That the circuit court was with out jurisdiction to enter the writs. 2. That the petitioners were not Im prisoned or restrained at the time of filing the petition. 3. That the leave to file a petition was granted in ignorance of the essen tial facts bearing on the propriety of entertaining such a petition. 4. That the petition was not in good faith, but was for the purpose of avoiding trial on the issues of the in dictment. 5. That the petitioners were not ar rested, but the pretended imprison ment was at their own instance to give ground for allegations for the petitions. 6. That the petitioners have imposed on the court by making it appear that the purpose of their act is to obtain a decision on the validity of the Sher man act, whereas the true purpose is to transfer the custody of the petition ers from the district court so as to pre vent trial on indictment. 7. Each of the petitioners has plead ed "not guilty" to the indictments and Is not entitled to have any questions decided by other than the district court until a Judgment has been entered against him on a verdict finding him guilty. l'Jl men accuf",'l 'n connection .IU,rrin of Mary Cham- berlain. the Shady Rend school teach er carried the state's attorney, Htm(mt off their leet with surprise.

"u trusts rs oiscussea. aim a meet the present situation is suggested by Tneoaore Kooseveit in uiiu" entitled "The Trusts, the People ana the Square Deal," published today in The Outlook. "The suit against the steel trust by the government,"' Mr. Roosevelt be gins, "has brought vividly before our people the need of reducing- to order our chaotic government policy as re gards business." He concludes with the following rec ommendation: "The national government exercises control over interstate commerce rail ways, and It can In similar fAShion, through SiU appropriate governmental body, exercise control over all industrial organizations engaged in interstate commerce. This control should be ex ercised, not by the courts, but by an administrative bureau or board such as the bureau of corporations or the in terstate commerce commission-, for the oourts cannot with advantage perma nently perform executive and administra tive functions." Before taking up his general theme. Mr. Roosevelt pauses to deny that the representatives of the steel corporation misled him while he was president. Re ferring to 'he suit against the steel trust, he says: AVas Not Deceived. "One of the erounds for the suit is the acquisition by the steel corpora tion of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company: and It has been alleged, on the authority of bhe government offi cials engaged In carrying on the suit, that as regards this transaction I was misled by the representatives of the steel corporation and that the facts were not accurately or truthfully laid before me. This statement is not cor rect. I believed at the time that the facts in the case were tion and my turtner Knowieuge mm convinced me that this was true. I believed at the time that the repre sentatives of the steel corporation told me the truth as to the changes that would be worked in the percentage of the business which the proposed ac quisition would give the steel corpor ation and further inquiry has con vinced me that they did so. I was not misled. The representatives of the steel corporation told me the truth as to what the effect of the action at that time would be, and any statement that I was misled and that the repre sentatives of the steel corporation did not thus tell the truth as to the facts of the case Is itself not in accordance with the truth. "It has been alleged that the pur chase by the steel corporation of the property of the' Tennessee Coal Iron company gave the steel corporation practically a monopoly of the south ern iron ores; that is, of the iron ores south of the Potomac and the Ohio. My information, which I have every reason to believe Is accurate and not successfully to be challenged, is that of these southern iron ores, the steel corporation has, including the proper ty gained from the Tennesee Coal Iron company, less than 20 per cent perhaps not over 16 per cent. This la a very much smaller percentage than the percentage it holds of the Iake Superior ores, which, even after the surrender of the Hill lease, will be slightly over 50 per cent. Situation XTnclianged. "According to my view, therefore, and unless which I do not believe r.rvssihle these figures can be success fully challenged, the acquisition of the Tennessee Coal Iron Co.'s ores in no wav changed the situation as regards making the steel corporation a mono nniv The showlne as to the percent age of reduction of all kinds of steel ingots and- steel castings in the United States by the steel corporation and by all other manufacturers respectively mlt an even stronger case. It makes the case even stronger than I put it In my testimony neiore tne 111 v lng committee, for I was scrupulously careful to make statements that erred, If at all. against my own position. Returning to the main subject, Mr. Roosevelt continued: "To attempt to meet wnoie prumem not bv administrative governmental action" but by a succession of lawsuits Is hopeless from the standpoint of working out a permanently satlsfac tory solution. Moreover, tne r""' sought to be achieved are achieved t,i in extremely insufficient and fragmentary measure by breaking up all big corporations, w nc.ici '"r have behaved well or ill. into a number of little corporations wnicn 11 is per fectly certain will be largely and per haps altogether under the same con trol. Such action is harsh and mis chievous if the corporation is guilty of nothing except its size: and where, as in the case of the Standard Oil, and roSnVasVeeUn T guilty of immoral 4V. j and ann-sociai i"da iw. for far more, drastic ana tnorousn rotoB- notion than any that has been taken, under the recent decree of the supreme court. The Tobacco Trust Case. "In the case of the tobacco, trust, for Instance, the settlement in the cir cuit court, in which the representa tives of the government seem inclined to concur, practically leaves all of the companies still substantially under the control of 29 original defendants. Such a- result is lamentable from the standpoint of justice. The decision of the circuit court, if allowed to stand, means that the tobacco trust has merely been obliged to change its clothes, that none of the real offenders have received any real punishment. "Surely, miscarriage of justice is not too strong a term to apply to such a result when considered in connection with what the supreme court said to this trust. "The effort to prohibit all combina tions, good or bad", is bound to fail and ought to fail; when made, it merely means that some of the worst combi nations ure not checked and honest business is checked.

Nothing ig gained by depriving tne mcritai. nation of good weapons wherewith to fight in the great neia 01 unci industrial competition. To sum-up, then: It is practically impossible, and if possible it would be mischievous and undesirable, to try to break-up all combinations, merely because they are large and success ful, and to put the business of the country back into the middle of the eighteenth century conditions of in tense and unregulated competition be tween small and weak business con cerns. Such an effort represents .ot progress but an unintelligent, though doubtless entirely well meaning terror Ism. Publicity Is Important. "Such an effort does not adequately punish the guilty, and yet works great harm to the innocent.

He suggested that certain legislation would be necessary after the work is finished to provide for a proper toll system and an efficient organization on the canal zone. J. B.

"The vital business interests of the country should be studied and given a chance" as against the monopolization of the nation's energy by the prejudice and error of partisan politics," he said.

Clark, wealthy miller ana foremost citizen of Shady Bend, for a change of venue in the case in wnicn he with eight other men is charged with "assault and battery" in connec tion with the tarring of Miss Mary Chamberlain last August. Miss Cham berlain was in court accompanied by her mother and brother, Manville Chamberlain. She has appeared on the street here only once since she ar rived. Since Miss Chamberlain was decoyed to a lonely spot on a country road, seized bv a band of more than a dozen men, her clothes torn off and her body coated with tar. August 7, she has re mained in close retirement in- her home In little Shady Bend. She remained in the community where she taught school, and where it is said her popularity with the men caused jealous wives and sweethearts to urge husbands and lovers to innict upon her the frightful torture which created a storm of indignation throughout the state.

Counsel for the defense be iran an attempt to prove by affidavits that Clark can not hope for a fair trial in Lincoln county because of nAwcnnnpr renorts of the "tar party and local gossip. Motor cars loaded with state's attorneys, and others hirinsr renresentatives of the de fendants raced over the county late Wednesdav and until rar into tne night seeking affidavits of citizens con cerning the existence of prejudice or the absence of it. Lincoln today harbored larger crowds than ever on a market or street fair day. The "tar party," and the sneers it has brought upon the county and even upon the state is more tnan vw the nrinclnal topic of discussion. The prominence of Mr. Clark, one of the wealthiest men in the county, and the fact that upon the outcome of his case will depend largely the fate of the others has centered most comment upon the Shady Bend miller.

FOR 12 CENT STAMP State Treasurer Tulley Points Out Its Convenience. Mark Tulley, state treasurer, believes that the pustoliice department mm. i,,. oraTmns. Tn sending reg istered "and special delivery letters it is necessary to use at least two ssiomi, n ten ar.d a two-cent stamp to carry. Mr. Tulley argues that when one stamp .rio- o,r.h a iPtter the cost of is suing the stamps would be reduced and a greater convenience result for pat rons. In an interview on this subject today Mr. Tulley stated nis views The postoffice department under the administration of Postmaster General Hitchcock has been a financial success, being more than self-supporting the last fiscal year. Something that has not oc curred in that department for a good many years. Great Credit to Postmaster General. "Mr. Hitchcock is entitled to great credit for his wise, efficient and econom ical management of the artairs 01 tuai department, but It seems to me that he could cause one little change to be made that would still lessen the expenses with out diminishing the revenues an iota, or impairing the efficiency of the depart ment in the least. "I would suggest the Issuance of post age stamps in denominations of 13 cents for the reason that a registered letter now requires 12 cents postage and there fore takes two or more stamps when one 12 cent stamp would do the work .Just as well, and be more convenient to the pub lic In sending the many thousand regis tered letters that are sent in a year. Both Saving and Convenience. "By adopting the above plan, the gov ernment would save the difference in cost of issuing one 12 cent stamp instead of two or more stamps, or enough -to send a registered letter. I am aware that the saving in cost of Issuing one stamp or one hundred stamps would be very little, but on the extra number the government now has to issue In one year would amount to considerable. "The state treasurer's office sends out several hundred registered letters in the course of a year, and that is only a small per cent of" those sent by the state of Kansas, to say nothing of the tremend ous number sent by the United States." factions' fighting Chinese Rebels Fall Out Among Themselves at Chang Chow.

Something about Missouri valley con ference scouting from the Lincoln Star in which Cmch Stiehm says Oklahoma got the worst of the officiating at Kan- Saome comment has been created through the course of Coach Stiehm in visiting Kansas. It was known to Nebraskans who accompanied the .earn to Minnesota and Ames that K. u. representatives saw both games, while Mce the assistant coach at Kansas, was present at Nebraska's -unaway from Missouri. Stiehm went to a ho tel in" Lawrence, registered, called on Sherwin and notified him that he had come down to see the Dartmouth man's team play football. He went to the game and took part in a post-mortem with the officials. He wa3 convinced that Oklahoma got the worst of the officiating, a goal from field, perfectly executed, ix'ng disallowed because the referee thought he detected holding by one end. No attempt at sneaking around, no "gumshoe" tactics were employed, and Stiehm feels that his visit is without need of justification. Kacely Out of Game. George Racely. the light 'Nebraska half who made four touchdowns against the Kansas Aggies in ten minutes, wilt not be sble to tlay against Kansas, according to a Lincoln dispatch. He has a badly Injured leg and is unable to move around at a pace faster than a limp and there aprears to be little chance of his getting into the game again this fall. It is possi ble that he may be used against Michi gan, but as Racely is very light, his only football asset being speed, the limp pre cludes any chance of his being used until he can once more sprint down the white chalked marks at a ten second rat Hornberger announced that his phsyician had told him that he could venture back into scrimmage again Tuesdav night and he expects to be able to plav "against Kansas if wanted.

"It's going to take a good team to beat us the way we are going now," said Coach Lowman. speaking of the game between the Kansas Aggies and the University of Arkansas at Kansas City the com ing Saturday. "I know that Arkansas has a mighty good team and all that. We can win that game if the men will only have a little confidence in them selves. We're going to play some foot ball next Saturday, that's all." Coach Lowman will devote most of his time this week to building up a strong offense. It is this that has caused trouble all year. With the of fense equaling the defense the coaches do not fear for the Aggies' chances in the coming contest. The Aggies had many good plays that could not be opened up Saturday because of adverse weather conditions. The wind made the forward pass a dengerous article. The kicking has shown but slight im provement. The coach has Pollom and Howentsine change from the drop kick to the old standby, the place kick. The Aggies are i ever at a loss for a kicker of some sort. Howenstine, Pollom, Sims, Prather, Toung and Schuster have had chances at booting. Howen stine has had the best success. Sims kept calling punts and the wisdom of it was shown as the Creighton goal loomed up nearer and nearer with every exchange of punts.

Gt Wilson C Kutro ,.QQ McSpadden Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 16. To stand up and cheer a team in victory is a far different thing than to "cheer one in de feat. The Kansas rooters have shown probably the greatest college spirit that has been known in Lawrence for a num ber of years in all of the games played this season. When Bennie Owens brought his Sooners up and defeated his i alma mater the Kansas rooters and players were put to a test to display what they would do in defeat. "Beat Nebraska" is the one thought which has driven all others from the minds of the students on Mount Oread. Sheriwr.'s Jayhawkers have been whip ped, and at the same time they have not changed in the estimation of their followers in the university. Strange to say there is more confidence that Ihe Jayhawkers will win from the Corn huskers now than af any time this fall. All admit tiiat Nebraska has the "dope" in i s favor, that Steihm inherited a wonderful team, and thpt the Corn huskers are confident of victory. There are memories still around the campus of games won by the Jayhawkers when everything tjointed to a walkaway for Nebraska. It is the same "Kansas spirit" which won these games that is in evidence in the Jayhawkers' camp this week and it will be this .hat will defeat the Cornhuskers if the Sherwin machine is victorious Saturday. An Increase in Strength. The spirit among the rooters is shared by ihe players on the team. Ey ery man on the squad earned his posi tion only after a hard tryout in which he proved to the coach that he was the man for tne place and now that the team is settled the men are working not for any personal gain but for the sake of Kansas. The shift in the line up of last week showed an increase in the strength of the Jayhawkers, and with another week ot scrimmage wui with the freshmen, the team should have its greatest fighting capacity for the Nebraska game. However, the Kansas supporters realize tho TiavhH.wke.Ts cannot expect to win because of any superior charging ability of the line or better speed in t..e back field than the Cornhuskers. Iw Kansas spirit is the thread to which the Kansans have tied their hopes. It is this spirit which has won for Kansas in the past, which has taken advantage of mistakes and hard luck by the opposing team to turn what looked like pure de feat into victory. The Nebraskans al ways have said when the Jayhawkers had "the victory tucked away "we were unluckv, our fumbles were costly and the men did not play up to their usual form It was all in the game, however, and T the Cornhuskers were not fit it was their own fault. Ammons Back in Lineup. Tk ciiai came out of the Oklahoma game in remarkably good shape consider- i ing the weather and tne nara suugsic. In the scrimmage with the freshmen the regulars were stiff but after battling with the heavy tvros for two hours nearly all were pretty well "limbered up." Captain Ammons, whose shoulder was bruised m the first quarter of the Oklahoma game, was back in the lineup at fullback. He made a number of good gains but was not worked hard. Coolldge. the hard fighting halfback, who was kept out of the Soon er game to be saved for Nebraska, toro up the freshman defense on end runs. While all of the players are more or less bruised the team should be in good shape by Saturday. Sherwin has his men in ex cellent physical condition and they are affected only by the more serious in juries. The practice this week is behind closed gates and it is the belief that the Jay hawkers have a few surprises for Nebraska- which as yet have remained un exposed. Among the ex-players who are on the field in the afternoon are "Red" Milton, Frank Ford Jay Bond and Carl Pleasant. Arthur St. Leger Mosse re turned to his farm at Leavenworth, but will be out again in the middle of the week. An army of ex-stars are expected for the last few- das of preparation, of Stlehm's Cornhuskers. of the National Association of Ball clubs is the disposition of "Red" Gardner, the high priced outfielder the Kaws procured from Kansas City. Gear probably will try a trade rather than a sale and ought to be able to get a good swap for the husky sorrel who undoubtedly has more ball in him than he show the natives here. On the other hand, "Red" has some thing to settle with the Topeka club. He lost a couple of months after being hit on the Jaw with a ball at Omaha. He fell onto the plate after being struck and declared his shoulder was broken. Then he went home and played no more for the season. It is claimed by the club he would not allow a physician to examine the shoulder and he was paid only $2 5 a week until the end of the season. He has asked the commission for his full i salary.

ICING, City Passenger Agent Sale Opens Saturday Morning Our Auto Will Take You Out The men who made Elmhurst the most attractive addi tion ever made to the city 6f Topeka, have developed a new residence district just outside the Western limits of the city On a plan that is without question the most unique and attractive ever adopted in the Middle West. x The Idea is Simply This To give the city man a close-in Country home a home with all the advantages of the country and all the conveniences of the city a home with elbow-room and breathing space about it a home that is not entirely a dead-load upon his in come, but that is in itself an income-producer a home where in he can reign supreme, amid attractive surroundings and congenial neighbors. We believe that we have hit upon an idea which will find an immediate response in the hearts of hundreds of Topeka families who appreciate the advantage of real home-life. Our only regret is that the only available tract of land, suited to our purpose, will afford only 51 of these beautiful suburban estates. Pinehurst in Park District The Pinehurst Estates, which will be placed on the market Saturday morning, consist of tracts of from one-half acre to one acre, in a beautiful park-like spot immediately west of the city, lying between Sixth and Eighth Avenues with Washburn Avenue as the Eastern line. They are in what may be called the Park District of Topeka, Gage's Park being a few minutes walk to the west, Willow Park near by on the east and the Pinehurst Children's Park just across Washburn Avenue. The estates lie right in line with the city's best residential development. They are certain to have ample street car facili ties within a few months and are just as certain to double in selling value. Improvements We have platted the tract, are grading roadways, putting in cement sidewalks, erecting handsome pillars at the road entrances and installing a lighting system which we will main tain free of cost for one year. We have no desire to "boom" this property or to indulge in extravagant or bombastic talks about it we simply assure the public that we will make this the most attractive and desirable residence district adjacent to Topeka. Saturday is the Day You can't make a mistake in choosing It for your home. We want you to come out and see these Estates on Satur day the opening day. We say Saturday and not next week, because there are only fifty-one of the Estates and we know there are 500 fami lies in Topeka who will make the effort to secure one of these ideal homes. Prices The price with all the improvements which we are put ting upon the Estates is actually lower than unimproved acre property is bringing farther from the city's limits. And the terms are such that any ambitious man can easily acquire one of these Estates. Wny pay rent for non-producing property when you can own an Estate that will provide you with half your living? W7hy invest in inside property on which your taxes and repairs amount to a high rental? WTiy not get out into the open where you have a chance to grow and have a real home for yourself and your dear ones? Our Auto Will Call for You Saturday Morning.

LEASED WIRE ROTRT, OF THE ASSOCIATED PREsa. The State Journal is a member of the Associated Press and receives the full day telegraph report of that great news or ganization for the exclusive afternoon publication in Topeka. The news is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. What a joke it is to dill the hen "helpful"? Just when she should be working at her trade overtime she goes on a strike. But this almost makes hens human. Mrs Cope's old-fashioned friends will be sure to wag their heads and opine that the destruction of Bishop Moore's personal effects by fire is merely an instance of retributive jus tice. Kermit Roosevelt is reported to be a. good cross-country runner. Perhaps his experiences with the wild animals on the plains and in the jungles of Africa helped him considerably in this respect. And. incidentally, this Transmissis sippi congress, now in session at Kan sas City, seems to be a most attractive showring for the big men of the coun try with large political aspirations to parade around in. This Turko-Italian war is also dem onstrating that while a superior navy Is a desirable agent for any nation, wars can not be won without an ade quate army to follow up and finish the work begun by a navy. Any number of Kansans will shoul der their guns during the next two weeks and do their best to slaughter p.U the quails in the state, and the Quails are the very best friends that the agriculturists have, Man is a pe .culiar creature, isn't he? A Chicago man was permitted by a municipal judge to pass sentence on himself for being drunk and disorder ly. He fined himself $85 and not hav ing the money he sentenced himself to Jail to work the fine out. In other words, he was probably determined to have comfortable lodgings during the winter season. No wonder the big football teams in the East are not making much prog ress with their plunges against the Dartmouth line. The rive men in the center of this line from tackle to tackle are of an average height of just a frac tion under 6 feet 2 inches and their average weight is just a fraction over '200 pounds. Some football boys, those. The International Harvester com pany has voluntarily stopped doing business in Kentucky. It has been forcibly ousted from doing business in Missouri. It was dehorned and made to follow the straight and narrow path in Kansas some time ago. These be trying times, indeed, for the trusts. Only their lawyers are reaping much of a harvest. In arbitrarily raising the price of gas, the Consumers' Light, Heat and Power company seemed to have over looked a bet. Presumably it forgot all about the provision of law which pre- vents a public service corporation of j Kansas under the jurisdiction of the 1 public utilities commission from in creasing rates without the permission of the commission. Those Cornell student-waiters, who went on a strike because they were compelled to eat the butter that was left on the plates of the co-eds they served, are probably neither very gal- i lant nor romantic in the eyes of some. Butter ought to be more attractive after it has been pawed over by fair college girls. At least, there are a few weak-minded youths who would think so. One of New Haven's clergymen sees the downfall of football in the betting on the games. It will be a long time, though, before football in the west is overthrown by gambling of this sort. The betting on the football games in this section of the country is scarcely noticeable. And the chances are that this eastern divine has let his imagina tion run away with him on the betting that prevails in his section on football games. Major General Hetty Green says that the prospects of her son, Colonel Ed. getting married are .all a joke. And Ed, approaching fifty years of age. ap pears to be wise enough to know which side his bread is buttered on. So there is no danger that he will run contrary to the hints and orders of his com manding officer. If all boys obeyed their parents as religiously, so many of them wouldn't get inta so much troubl. CHAPTER XXIII. More Politics. J A writer on the Morning Guberna- torial Advocate has engaged a car- toonist of the State Journal to illus- trate a forthcoming book. This looks like the dove of peace was really in evidence with an olive branch in its mouth. But, this is only the "Sec- ond Thought" of our esteemed con temporary, which it must be admitted has been greatly improved since the writer thereof has a better half to censure and suggest copy. If our newspaper neighbor would always think twice on most of Its

propositions what a happier outcome all around there would be. The first thoughts of our contemporary are often rather crude, but give it time and sufficient grasp, and matters final ly shape themselves in its columns. Taft or Anti-Taft, which is it? A pa tient public awaits. Is it the Large Smile or the Rig Pompadour? Is it the big hearted, broad minded Chris tian. Unitarian, W. H. T., or is it R. L. F., the man who is quoted by Les lie's Weekly as saying "Ingersol had a tremendous influence upon me"; but then it is bad to mix politics and reli gion, and sometimes newspapers and politics. About all the time many of us working people have to look at a morning paper is to take the beM thought there is in it, glance at the headlines, which have a familiar -ooK to State Journal readers, and then rush off to business. When Governor Stubbs said in his Thanksgiving proclamation just print ed that "the world is getting better," did he have any reference to the de feated Guyer and his Lieutenant Gov ernor Hopkins of Garden City, and the improved conditions of the world's good people in the Second and Seventh Kansas representative districts? As William Allen White is getting his political bearings, which were somewhat jarred loose last week, his leading editorial last evening was upon the subject "Watch Your Lake Fish." This writer will bear the in junction in mind. The governor should watch his pond, too. A lady asked this morning for the names of several of "our favorite books." Well, we are not setting up as a judge of literature in these "Rem iniscences," but will say in passing that we find everything that William Allen White writes highly entertaining. His "Court of Boyville" is delightful, and his "A Certain Rich Man" edu cational, instructive, enlightening. His forthcoming book is anxiously awaited. But meanwhile what pleases us most, in White's writings is his political humor. White takes politics seriously, but to this subscriber among the fun niest things which appear in print are William Allen's heavy editorials for "Saving the Country," and against Taft. The recent one on "Our Weary Presi dent" taken in connection with the present little extra side trips President Taft is making every day out of Wash ington just for exercise, and to keep his spirits up and his flesh down, made White's observations, to quote the heathen Chinee, "somewhat peculiar" Ed Howe of Atchison is always in teresting in his books, but we confess that while admiring the author him self, we do not always like what he writes. His "Story of a Country Town" is one of the best novels ever writ ten, particularly the last half of it. The writer once wrote a half page re view of it for the New York Herald; it was printed: it is full of epigrams, the book, and the review too: quota tions. Time and again it has been suggested to E. W. Howe that his book should be brought out in a new edition, illustrated and exploited. If a book like Howe's "Story of a Country Town" were sent forth today, as books are, it would have a tremend ous run. "Ironquill" is another fa vorite. This writer once, too, wrote of "Ironquill," the pen name of the late dearly lamented Eugene F. Ware, with a sketch of the sfurdy Kansan for the Saturday Evening Post. George Horace Lorimer said it was worth thirty-five dollars. We don't know whether it was or not, but we got the check; but "Ironquill" is worth every thing to Kansas literature. Ey the way, if you want to read some thing good, try Mark Twain's "Joan of Arc." There is no humor in it, but it is very, very fine. It is not often read and few people seem to know that Mark Twain wrote a serious book like this. There is only one sentence of humor in it. That seems to have slip Ted in when Mark wasn't looking. "Dr. Tneodore Roosevelt is out to day, see first page, in a remedy to meet the aggravated case of "The Trusts, The People, and The Square Deal." The "doctor" is no "quack." He has a somewhat allopathic remedy, but at the same time it is not one of those "kill or cure" propositions that some political doctors are now prescribing, In fact, Dr. Roosevelt's remedy has been eonsc.entiously worked out from a carefully diagnosed case by a man who understands the symptoms, the condition and the system of the patient for whom he prescribes. Some people seem to think that the case is one of fatty degeneration of the heart that the trusts have r.o heart, as well as no soul, and that the remedy must be so applied that it will reduce the flesh and nerves but not put the patient perman ently to sleep. Here's hoping. In one of these Chapters, the writer spoke about the deplorable and ne farious adjective that is always get ting people into trouble; a bad case was cited, now here comes another: In Chapter VII, it was stated that Hon. Sam Wood was, at one time, editor of this paper, known at that time as the Kansas State Journal, and that George W. Reed was business manager. Our gjod friend George w. Keed was manager all right, but he was not "business manager." This writer re- tracts the adjective "business." This seems to be an off day too I many people around the office are j shooting quail or killing time so that there is little of the latter to write a I respectable Chapter today. It is hoped j that tomorrow's Chapter will be more I i interesting, or that the reader will skip 1 it and read the Supreme Court Syllabi j or the Commissioners' proceedings In glancing about for items of interest or matters of moment.

The fifteen labor lead ers, including President Gonipers, who are on the executive committee of the Na tional Civic Federation, are called on to sever their connection with the latter or ganization in a resolution introduced in behalf of the United Mine Workers in the Federation of Labor convention. It is understood the resolution has the support of the Western Federation of Miners and also the state delegations of Colorado. Utah and Michigan. The resolution which was referred to the resolutions committee declares that "There is a growing tendency in prac tically all laDor organizations 10 view with, suspicion and distrust the acts ot any labor representative who is in any way connected with the civic federation," which is declared to be built on the false assumption of "Identity of interests."

(By Martha W. Watson.) They brought Limpy into St. Bar naby's hospital one cold night in De cember. He was as old and wrinkled as a baked apple. For years he had occupied the same corner near the biir bridge, sitting beside his chestnut roaster, with a charcoal pail burning i '"":u Aimyy uvci iu her. Alice went back to the new patient and found Limpy regarding her sus piciously. "Where's my leg?" he demanded, gruffly. "I think they took it off downstairs when they made the first examina tion." "I want it. I want it brought here, and stood beside the head of the bed where I can see it. This is a fine kind of a charity hospital, trying to take a poor old lame feller's leg away from him, 'Don't you worry," Alice assured him, happily. "I'll get it for you, right away. Of course you miss it." She procured an order from young Doctor Meredith, and ten minutes later the old wooden leg stood by Limpy's cot. It was the rudest sort of a sub stitute, with a large top, hollowed out, and a straight peg to rest on. Limpy's eyes rested on it with" perfect content ment, when Alice set it beside him. "If I die, I'll leave that to you, nurse." he promised her whimsically. "It's been a good old friend to me. and you never can tell what might happen. It might come in handy some day to you, too." Alice laughed as she repeated the old chap's words to Meredith. Some day. when things looked brighter, they hoped to marry some day, when Burton had finished his full course and started practicing.

He smiled for the first time in years, a slow, pained, one j sided smile, and whispered that he I wanted to speak to the doctor. What he told Meredith even Alice did not i know until later. Good naturedly. for he knew that Limpy was already in i sight of the Delectable Hills. Meredith I came, and bent down to hear the last message. And he smiled too, for he I believed the old man was dreaming. "Don't you forget, now. Doc. said Limpy. "The top unscrews.

Worn and chipped as it was, he saw It was made of fine wood, and Limpy's last words recurred to him. "What are you doing, Burton?" asked Alice, when she saw him work ing at the top with his knife. And then she stopped short as the doctor took out the last screw, and the top lifted off of the old peg leg. It was hollow within, but not empty. Inside were Limpy's savings from the chest nut trade for years, greenbacks rolled tightly and pushed down in the cavity, layer on layer. "About eieht thousand, girlie." Burton told her, as he and her mother .nnnPfl their counting half an hour later. "The old chap was right. Your bread on the waters has surely come back to you as plum cake." "It is yours as much as mine," Alice told him. "Limpy said it was to help build the nest, and I'm going to leave the hospital at the end of the term." "You'll leave it now," Burton an swered, "in memory of Limpy." (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Lit erary Press.) FROM OTHER PEN1 STILL ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY. Several years ago the tenth centen nial of the sausage was celebrated in Germany with feasting and song. A viand of such ancient lineage deserved well of its earliest home and its most faithful admirers, and thousands of sausage nurtured Teutons greeted the millennial with gastronomic exuber ance tempered by fitting respect. Now, according to an eminent Bel gian authority, this year of grace brings the one hundred and fiftieth birthday of the sandwich, an assertion which indicates that the three-layer delicacy was a contemporary of Frank lin and Washington and Jefferson, and that it antedated American independ ence by only 15 years. Nuturally, an interested public will wonder why such a useful and popular combination could have been overlooked so long. Nor is any clue given to the identity of the ingenious inventor. Consequently, we may conclude that the sandwich was one of those sudden inspirations that come to a number of minds con jointly, and can not be narrowed down to any individual source. Be that as it may, the sandwich is regarded as a leading factor in the scheme of human sustenance. It is the backbone, as it were, of the quick lunch purveyor, and the standby of the hurried eater. Cleveland Plain Dealer. WOMEN AND THEIR WORK. Rev. Bernard Vaughan. that prolific writer on economic conditions in all parts of the world, has recently turned his at tention to the condition of women work era in the United States, and has come to the conclusion that we are in a bad way in this country and getting worse. Dr. Vaughan evidently has not read his history aright if he fails to appre ciate the fact that the condition of the wrorking women in America Is better than that of any other country In the world. There are hardships, of course, and abuses In this country. In connection with the employment of women and girls, but rapid progress is being made in the elim ination and amelioration of them. All good citizens regret the existence of any untoward condition among work ing women, many resretting that women should be compelled to work at all in the gainful occupations, and this regret is one of the compelling motives in the protrress of woman's emancipation from the drudg erv of the field and the loom and bake ovens which is still her lot in too many of the European countries. Most of the states In the Union have laws regulating the hours of employment for women and for the betterment of the BurroundlnKs In which she works. Ameri ca Is doing more than any other nation to rescue woman from being a chattel, a slave and a drudge. St. Paul Pioneer Press. POIXTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Eailure is as familiar as success is shy. Time will tell if a woman doesn't beat time to it. A woman's smile seldom means what a man thinks it does.

The members of the choir, friends and some dozen soloists comprise the big party of excursionists. They are on a sight-seeing trip and incidentally will stop at a few cities en route, including Topeka, and give a concert that prom-; ises a great treat to music lovers. The choir will give one concert here on the night of Wednesday, November 22, at the auditorium, when selections from oratorios and grand operas, together with a couple of Mormon hymns, will be rendered. Accompanying the sing ers Is John J. McClellan, one of the foremost organists in America, whose o'clock.

Entertains ABOUTPAVING December 1st Is Last Day For 1912 Petitions For Paring. Property Owners Inyestigate Different Paving Carefully. Frederick, Md., Nov. 16. President T&ft came over into the Frederick valley to advocate his arbitration treaties in a speech btfore the associated boards of trade of Maryland and to lay a wreath at the tomb of Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Ban ner. It was the biggest aay this little town has had since Barbara Fritchie waved her flag at Stonewall Jackson's men and drew a poem from the pen of Whit tier. Hundred of twentieth century Barbaras waved flags at the president and drew nods of recognition from him. The house where P.irbara Fritchie lived, Ions ago torn down, had stood by a bridge, over which the president passed. The site was pointed out to him an! the motor car paused for an instant while the president looked. .A squad of mounted police,' borrowed from Baltimore for the occasion, clattered daily recitals on the big home made along besidi the official automobile and organ in the turtle-backed tabernacle on Temple square.

"For their slumbers they occupy the coziest corners, and for their dinners they eat the sweetest honey, and care lessly soil the combs they frequent with their excrement.

The drones are rudely awakened from their slumbers by the wrathful virgins. They can not believe their own eyes and are amazed at the sudden turn of things.

The South Side Booster club will hcid a big meeting in the assembly room of the new Van Buren school building Friday evening for the pur pose of discussing things educational and to work up enthusiasm in a South side boulevard.

Bishop Alexander Mackay-Smith of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Penn sylvania died suddenly at his home early today. Chicago, Nov. 16. Having reached the conclusion on the opening day of their convention here that the most important object in organization was to fight any attempt to remove the duty on sugar, the sugar beet refiners pre pared today to put themselves in a po sition where they could assure any one interested in the enterprise that this tax would continue. According to C. C. Hamlin, the chairman, the production of beet sugar is now about one-third of what it would be were it not for the fear on the part of the men who would other wise invest their money that this tariff would be removed. The meeting scheduled for today, according to Mr. Hamlin, Is to be one of great import ance to the future of the industry. WINS FROM CARNEY Pasadena, Cal.. Nov. 16. "Kthereal asphyxia, inducing a somni-pathetic condition," is what Calbraith P. RoJg ers, transcontinental aviator, declares attacked him when he fell near Corap ton, Cal., last Sunday on the-last flight of his cross-country trip. Furthermore, Rodgers asserts this is what caused the deaths of dozens of other aviators. "It lurks in the pockets of the upper air strata," he said, "and creeps ir resistibly upon the senses of the avia tor, lulling him into dreamy uncon sciousness. "I believe this same thing to have caused the deaths of Arch Hoxsey. Ralph Johnstone, Eugene Ely and a number of others who have fallen to their de.ith from great altitudes after having lost control of their craft. "It was not in my case the rarifled S air that overcame me. I have experi enced hydro-lacking air a dozen times ana it never affected me. "It. was no stifling sensation, but I di- notice a peculiar odor, not unlike chloroform. I knew I was falling, but u. j, consciousness till within a few feet of the ground. "The sense ot drowsiness was first apparent shortly after I had passed over a small town south of Pasadena. I was up 1.500 feet. I tried to shake it off. but it increased. The desire to sleep was irresistible. Then I thought the machine could take care of itself. There was no pain, no noise in my ears. It was just a sweet, soothing feeling that I wanted to go to sleep. "Somehovr I got a grip on myself and started on a long glide toward earth. The nearer he ground I got, the sleep ier I became. I remember that I had righted my machine and was looking for a place to land when I suddenly lost all consciousness. It was then that I fell." In W. G. Tandy's office the petitions for paving to be done in 1912 are coming in, many have been circulated and are still out but if these outstand ing petitions are crowded through and the necessary names attached, Topeka will have more street paving going on next year than this. Much interest is being created rela tive to the kind of pavement to be laid. H. A. Kingsley of the Kaw Paving Co., talked instructively of the differ ent kinds of paving today. "Wa are in the paving business to lay the kind of pavement the property owners want along the street," said Mr. Kingsley. "Brick laid on a cement i foundation with asphalt filler is a good pavement but I am enthusiastic for the asphaltic concrete pavement. We de veloped asphaltic concrete pavement and we are convinced it Is the best that can be constructed at a reasonable first cost. It costs less than brfck and is sightly, smoothe, noiseless and stands up under the traffic better than sheet asphalt or brick. Undoubtedly asphaltic concrete pavement adds value to the property along where it is laid which cannot be obtained other wise. "Wherever we have laid asphaltic concrete it has prov'en highly satisfac tory. Miles of this pavement have been laid In Salina, Manhattan, Well ington and in Topeka. Out on Mul vane street and College avenue, where wo laid our first asphaltic concrete, it has proved highly satisfactory, yet that was our first effort, and we have developed the making and laying of asphaltic concrete to perfection."

Hunt is the twenty-third of the mu tineers to be captured. He entered prison June 10, 1898, from Vinita, Okla., to serve five years for cattle rustling. DID LOVE CAISE 1EATH? Farm Hand With Two Sweethearts Is round Dead. Emporia. Kan., Nov. 16. Joseph B. Hanes, a farm hand, was found dead here. Carbolic acid burns on his lips. a glass nearby containing traces of the drug, and an empty two-ounce vial with an acid label on it within a few feet, are suiHcient to clinch the theory that Hanes' death was by suicide. The absence of any known motive for the deed, together with the fact that Hunes' hat was found lying on his breast as if it might have been placed there, alcne point away from the suicide theory. No traces of the acid were found on the tongue, by a cursory examination, but Dr. Neighbors says if the liquid was gulp ed down hastily, as he thinks is the case, it may not cause burns on the tongue and mouth because it did not have time :n passage. It is known that Hanes had several interesting love affairs. During the past week, he has been seen in company with a woman who gave her home as Holton, Kan.

"There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Company, Limited, Battle Creek. Mich. An enthusiasm meeting was held at the high school this morning for the purpose of stirring up spirit for the game with Lawrence next Friday. The cheering was led by Ralph Kingsley, who has been ap pointed cheer leader. The students seem to have forgotten how to yell, and not much enthusiasm was expressed over the announcement of another enthusiasm meeting to be held at 12:30 Friday. Man ager J. L. Montgomery made a short speech in which he talked a little about both football and basketball. Concerning football he said that the game with Lawrence Friday would be one of the hardest fought games played here this season, and in order for Topeka to win. a larse number of rooters must be out. The first basketball gamo tfr3 Topeka highs will play will be on December 1, when they will jilay a practice game with the Central Y. M. C. A. here. A game will be played with the Perry high school team on December S. He also said that Topeka was admitted to the Kansas City schedule. The Kansas City teams are only taking teams on their schedule this year that will give them a hard fight. The Topeka highs have no game for November 2",. but it is probable that a game with the Santa Fe apprentices will be played on that date. Several high schools have written asking for games on that date but none of tbem have replied to letters written to them concerning guarantees. The Forensic club will hold their regu lar weekly meeting Thursday instead of Friday, their usual day. A very- inter esting talk will probably take place whim a motion to amend their constitution crimes up. The amendment in question is whether to admit girls to this club or not. Other parts of the program include a drill, and a general debate on the question: "Resolved. That Italv and Turkey should submit their differences to arbitration." Lawrence is going to rharter a special train on the Union Pacific to attend the football game with the Topeka highs on Friday., Thy say that they will bring three hundred rooters with them, and make a grand parade on Kansas avenue before the game.

Kelley. secretary of the Commer cial club, today, "for If we have good roads, a big share of the traffic will come this way whether or not other good roads are built in the state." Kansas has heretofore not been rep resented on the map published for the benefit of automobilists in "The Blue Book" and there is a general agitation on foot to open up a Panama ocean-to-ocean road. Work is in progress on the road west of Osage City, and there is some talk of running the. main oad to Kansas City by way of Ottawa.

Waking New m B utter FT PUT UP IN QUARTER HER JEWELS MISSING Society Woman Causes Arrest of One of Her Guests. Minneapolis, Minn., Xov. 16. Wilfred Stuart Sheldon Dickason, said to be a member of an old English family and for some time prominent in Minneapolis socie ty circles, is in jail here charged with robbing Mrs. Olga von W. Haskell, a society woman, of diamonds and jewelry amounting to $2,950. Dickason, who has been staying at the Haskell home for some time, denies the theft. Dickason arrived here several months asro with letters to prominent people and from that time has played a leading part in Minneapolis society. He is said to have traveled widely and is claimed to have intimated here that he had lost a fortune in speculating on the Ijondon exchange. According to Mrs. Haskell, when she returned from a reception Tuesday she placed the jewels In a glove and hid them beneath the mattress of her bed. "I looked around," said Mrs. Haskell, "and saw Mr. Dickason standing in the doorway. I knew he had seen me put the jewels away. However, he made only a passing remark and walked down Stan's. Dickason for a time was engaged in newspaper work here. A reward of $100 has been ottered for the return of the jewels. In jail also, held for investigation, is George Haskell, son of Mrs. Olga von W. Haskell and of W. E.

Dickason's father, it Is said, lives near Nottingham, England, and hold an im portant position. Dickason himself is said still to be a member in good standing of the motor club of England and other clubs. Dickason steadfastly denies any knowl edge of the jewels. "Mrs. Haskell has lost these same jewels before," he said. "She had her son arrested and kept in jail for two days on suspicion and then sent him to California. Two months later Mrs. Haskell found her jewels where she had put them for safekeeping. I suppose she has done the same thing this time and they ultimately will be recovered by her."

Captain John T. Bartel, a federal secret ser vice agent here from Washington, is in $500 by a pair of crooks as the result of a bunco game into which he allowed himself to be drawn. Two men ignorant of his calling struck up an acquaintance with the government agent and proposed to let him share a $10,000 pool on a "sure thing" at Jamestown races. The agent acted his part so faithfully that the bunco men left $500 with him in proof of tneir good faith, savins they would return to claim it last night. captain Bartel borrowed two stout detectives from the police department and prepared a reception for the men. Evidently the buncoists became sus picious for they failed to appear, much to the disappointment of the detectives suffocating in a closet during a long vigil. Free Land.

The "peni;y provident fund" system which has been worked successfully in many cities in this country has been adopted by the board of directors of the Topeka Provident association and will be put into operation next week with an idea of inducing the poor children of the city to save their nickels and dimes rather than to spend them all for candy, chewing gum, moving pic ture shows and other forms of amuse ment. In other words the association will maintain a savings bank for chil dren. Each child will be given a folder con taining 36 blank spaces, the spaces to be filled with colored stamps indicat ing the amount that has been deposited 1 each time. A statement of the plan will be sent out to the parents of all the I boys and jrirls in the classes of the association, and an absolute guarantee will be given that the money is per fectly safe In the hands of the directors of the institution. When a child wants to draw money out it will be necessary to give a week's warning. That will prevent the chil dren from going to shows upon the im pulse of the moment. "A great many children." said Sec retary Justis today, "when they get a nickel -don't know of anything to do with it except to spend it In Wash ington, D. C, as much as $6,000 or $7. 000 is taken in through this system of saving in the course of a year, and in Minneapolis, Minn., $11,000 is the amount per annum received from the children. "I beiievo the plan will work in To peka. The colored stamps in the fold ers which will indicate the amounts paid in will be an attraction to the children. "This summer the Friendly Visitors' club will make a general campaign among the parents of the poor of the city to arouse enthusiasm in the sav ing idea. At that time of year a great many of the working people aro mak ing more money than they spend." At the meeting of the board "held Wednesday night the following officers were elected to manage the aaffairs of the association the ensuing year: T. F. Garver, president; Thomas Page, vice j president; C. G. Blakely, secretary; G. T. Justis, general secretary; H. L. Hall. treasurer. A meeting is being held this afternoon for the purpose of se lecting the committee for the year. WOMAN FOUND DEAD A Red Spot on Her Face Arouses Sus picion as to Cause. Portland, Nov. 16.

The Santa Fe's idea in offering prizes to school children "tor the best essays on the demonstration train has met with most flattering response. More than fifty school superinten dents in Kansas have sent letters to the publicity agent of the road, J. F. Jarrell. offering every assistance and promising that their schools would gladly enter the contest. It is probable that nearly 200 schools in the state will furnish pa pers for the prizes. Thousands of school children witnessed the big demonstration train as it passed their towns and all of them have their own little opinions on Its meaning and its contribution to public sentiment on the part of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railway. When the demonstration train ex hibited in Kansas towns last month and in September hundreds of schools were dismissed that the children might see the train. The Santa Fe officials took special pains to explain the mean ing of the display to the pupils and teachers and professors lectured to thm. Thousands of school children in the state have in their possession pictures of the train the largest locomotive in the world and the types of passenger and freight equipment. The prizes for this contest are as follows: For best essay $50. For second best $25. For the third best $10. From fourth to eighth best prizes of $5 each.

Benedict, for several years in the motive power department of the Atchison. Topeka Santa Fe in Topeka, i.;-s been appointed director of the shop laboratories in the department of me chanical engineering at the UnivrsHv of Illinois. Mr. Benedict was bom at Buda, 111 in December. 1S76, and graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1901. Before going to college he served an ap prenticeship on th Chicago. Burlington Quiney, and after graduating returned to that road, where he was successively, machinist, assistant in testing laboratory, assistant road foreman of engines, road foreman of engines, general foreman cf locomotive and car repairs and mechan ical inspector. He was then for two years editor of the Railway Master Me chanic at Chicago, which position he left to become supervisor of schedules on the Panta Fe. and he has mora recently been bonus supervisor on that road.

Conservatism among interior merchants in all sections is grow ing. This is shown by reports made by the leading jobbers, whose traveling men Thrilling Tale of a Broken Throttle on Er;e Road. Railroad men have been reading of the new Buck, external throttle invented by W. F. Buck, superintendent of mo tive power of the Santa Fe. Below is an account of an accident on the Erie an accident that probably could have been prevented if the Buck throttle was in use.. "When the engineer," says the report, "eased up on the throttle preparatory to stepping at the station, the engine, with its six heavily laden passenger cars, rushed on with increas ing speed. He closed the throttle, but there was no response. With his en gine running away with the train, there was but one chance the emer gency brakes. He jammed on the air, and the train was brought to a stop 100 feet beyond the station. For an instant the engine's brakes gripped the wheels. Then with a roar, the engine shook and heaved and the wheels re volved as though the locomotive was traveling 90 miles an hour. Showers of sparks flew into the air, but the train did not move. The emergency steam valves were thrown wide open, and to prevent the fire from generating Ete?m faster than It could be blown -off, several pails of water were thrown on it. Soon the engine spent its power, and the wheels slowed down. Investi gation showed that the throttle had broken inside the boiler. It was fort unate that the airbrakes held, for the engine would have jarred the throttle wide open and the train would never have made the sharp curves within the city limits without disaster." As a fit ting accompaniment to this thrilling drama, one can fairly hear the engineer shouting: "A notch, another notch, my family pass for a middle notch in the reverse quadrant!"

The sugges tion of establishing a community laun j dry came from Miss Frances Brown of the state aerricultural college at Man hattan and it was made on Miss Brown's recent trip here to address the I annu U meeting of the farmers' insti- i tute. As a result, it is probable that Allen county will be the first in Kansas to carry into practical effect Miss Brown's suggestion. At least one community in the county has evinced an active in terc;t in the pr position and will be ready to receive further instructions from Miss Brown by the time she. has received reDlios from the several man I ufacturers of laundry machinery with whom she is now in correspondence in order to obtain estimates of the cost of installing a laundry such as she hopes to see in every country community in the state. The Terrors of Wash Pay. "It's to do away with the drudgery of wash day on the farm," Miss Brown said, "as well as improve sanitary con ditions and give the housewife more time to do less laborious and more congenial work. Wash day is no more a time of luxury on the farm than it is in any home, and the farm now has less facilities for handling such work than any other place. "I am not yet ready to give out any data as to cost because I have not heard from the makers of laundry ma chinery whom I hope to induce to manufacture special sizes of washers and mangles and various other equip ment for the community laundry Many firms are now making appar atus that could be used in plants such as we are planning, but It would be much better if manufacturers would design and turn out equipment built with the needs of the community laun dry especially in mind. The Expense Prorated. "The plan is simple. Where a rural community wishes to establish a com munity laundry, the members simply assemble, select an old building an! furnish the labor necessary to place it in shape to receive the necessary ma chinery. Out of the gas belt, gasoline or windmill power may be used. Then the washer and remaining equipment, including the mangle, if desired, would be selected and the cost pro-rated among the members of the community. On arrival of the machinery the mem bers concerned would install it under the direction, of course cf some cne, probably a factory representative, who knew how to put the apparatus up pro perly. "From this point on things would go smoothly. The operation of the laundry would be simple. The several families In the community would select different days in the week for wash day, so that too many would not attempt to do their washing on the sa-me day and a sche dule orce made could be adhered to with convenience and satisfaction. Make Some Easy Money. "In case there should happen to be some persons in the community whose health would permit him no hard work, he cou. do no better than to establish a rural laundry and charge a small fee for its use. I believe the plan will prove a great success and I am expecing Kan sas to be tbe pioneer In introducing the community laundi-y as a general institution." Rural residents near Humboldt are studying the new idea and expect to take it up as soon as Miss Brown is prepared to give them cost figures. JURYMAN FAVORS PAKJDON. Healy Should Be Paid for Time Spent In Prison. Iola, Kan., Nov. 16. "As a citizen of the state of Kansas, I declare to VU C 1 1 t UUllb ItUUUt V. V stant release of John Healy from the state prison at Lansing. Not only that, but the state should pay to John Healy a sum sufficient to cover his loss of earnings while imprisoned for the crime of another man. "As foreman of the jury in the Allen county district court, which convicted Healy, I am ready this moment to head a petition praying for the release of Healy. This is not a case for clemency, but for justice." Just when it appeared that John J. Hefily had not a friend on earth, es pecially in this corner of it, a man of much influence has become interested in the prisoner's case. He is J. E. Henderson, a rural route mall carrier. pioneer citizen and a leading cnuii;" man. Mr. Henderson had never heard of the developments in Healy's case until a representative of the press called them to his attention. "At the time Healy was tried before the jury of which I was foreman," said Mr. Henderson, "there was absolutely nothing in his favor. There was no direct evidence, but the circumstances were strongly against him, and we weighed every bit of testimony care fully. We could do nothing else but j v.(w. o-i.iiTr iftpr Vi was sent away to prison the case passed out of my memory ana i nau uevci -any thought until the stories concern ing ft nnnearert I never knew of Casey's affidavit swearing that he alone was guilty 01 me men. ui grip from the Santa Fe passenger of it I want to take the opportunity to say tnat, 11 tins aitmd.iu w lutc.j certified, there is no need for any fur ther consideration 01 tins case. n Governor Stubbs does not act inde pendently I think the jury that con victed Healv will get busy and inves tigate the case." FARMERS MEET NEXT MONTH. Special Classes and Displays Will Be Arranged. Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 16. The State Farmers' institute, which is to meet at the Kansas Agricultural col lege next month, will have several ex ceptionally interesting features. The North Central Teachers' association of 500 members will meet at the college Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Christmas week. All the high school teachers and teachers of elementary agriculture and manual training are to meet at the college that week for a conference. Special classes v. Ill ha ar ranged for these teachers.

The contractors expect to complete the job by the first of the year. SAYS SITE OWNS ATCHISON. English Woman Says British Crown Gave It to Uncle. Atchison, Kan., Nov. 16. Does a woman own the city of Atchison and most of the surrounding country? At least one woman, Mrs. Elizabeth Atchi son of Sydney, Australia, claims said town and county and in a letter to Mayor Walker announces her intention of pressing her claim in English and American courts. According to her letter, her claim was established as foUows: One of her ancestors was one David T. Atchison, an officer' at Waterloo, presumably with the English, and for valiant service rewarded in that battle was given a land grant in America, and the woman claims that this grant in cluded the land whereon Atchison was built. Not needing the land or the revenue from it, Atchison never took possession of his claim, the woman says, but the Australian branch of the house is not so prosperous, and she needs the money, and will press her claim n an English chancery court, and later In American courts. Her ar gument is weakened by the fact that this part of Kansas was not British territory at that time. County Attorney Moxcey says he has an uncle who went to Australia and was reported to have taken possession of a large part of the southern end of that continent, and he proposes to trade his interest in that to Elizabeth Atchison for her claim on this part of Kansas. ORGANIZE TO DELIVER BEER. East Atchison Saloon Men to Form Transportation Concern. J Atchison, Kan., Nov. 16. Liquor dealers in East Atchison, Mo., the oasis for this part of Kansas, were agitated when they learned that the supreme court's decision Saturday de- nied Missouri dealers the right to haul i their goods into Kansas for delivery. The dealers, however, already have a; plan for continuing the delivery. j It is probable that the dealers will discontinue the use of their own wagons and have the liquor hauled to Atchison in wagons belonging to an in- corporated transfer company, which in the eyes of the law is a common car- rier and therefore qualified to transact an interstate business. It is under stood that two East Atchison saloon men foresaw the court s opinion and took this step some time ago. t BACKFIRE KILLS ONE. FAIR BTJY'S NEW HOME.

4- '.Mf'AH.H. fYf J. UTHif l,Ji? LI HI if 1 If f IL r W DON'T say that cheating la ever allowable, even against a If cheat." Michael Labram said in his slow way, as though B thinking aloud. "But sometimes you meet a man who almost asks yon to teach him a lesson. I met such a man once. I was sitting upon his counter, and he was smoking my tobacco. He admitted that he liked the brand I affected, and per haps that was why he tolerated my company. In his long moods of silence I used to swing my legs upon the counter and look about the shop. Its dark, narrow windows were filled with prints of Wilkie's and Hogarth's pictures, and in the dingy interior were piled chinas and brasses and busts of vague ages and vaguer values. You had to bend your head to enter the little low door, and then you were greeted by a curiously subtle odor that was not dis pleasing. It seemed to be blended from sandalwood and old varnish and old canvas and old tobacco. Everything was dimly sees through a perpetual twilight, and the proprietor was so mall and dark and shrunken that you might have taken him for the incarnate genius of the shop. But I, at least, was not deceived by the quiet mask that the little man habitually wore. It had once been my privilege to see Mr. Michael Labram moved to fiery passion by an act of injus tice, and the memory lent a certain piquancy to our acquaint ance. The incident had been a revelation. "Brogelheimer was his name," he continued. "I don't know what set me thinking of him today. He was a man of sixty past and rich so they always said. It didn't matter to me. He had made his money by sweating, I knew, and now he was turning his mind to art!" Michael Labram broke off from his talk and glanced at a brewn, discolored Chinese idol upon a shelf near his head. I always used to fancy that there was a certala resemblance be tween the twa old faces. As he said the word "art" with a puff of smoke he almost seemed to wink at the queer wooden thing, and if I had been imaginative I could have fancied that it re turned the greeting. "I suppose art means culture and sympathy, if it means any thing, which is doubtful. What did he know of sympathy a man who had made his money out of selling sweated shirts? There would be blood upon those shirts from the fingers of the women who had worked them, and as he talked in here I used to fancy that some of it had got into the very skin of his own large, fat hands and couldn't be washed off. But that was just my silly fancy, of course, and the bad light in this old shop. "He knew no more about art than I know about elephants, but he wanted to be a connoisseur; he wanted to talk about pic tures, and he wanted to impress his friends. Tet he didn't want ta pay much for it all. And so he came to me. "There was another man that I was seeing in those days, but a very different sort from that Brogelheimer. He is famous now, and so I'll Just call him Leslie Baring to you. He had come up to London to make a name for himself at painting. He had re fused to take a penny from his people, who had cut up rather nastily about his tastes, and he had found very soon that a name was long in coming and that the difficulty was to get food In the meanwhile. No one would look at his original work, and he had to take to copying famous pictures for a living. He copied well enough, but the living to be got from that sort of work is never very far from dying." He drifted off into one of his long silences, tapping with his thin yellow fingers upon the gnarled old counter. If you spoke to him at such moments you risked a curt word that bade you get about your business. But I bad learned his moods and my place by now. "I don't take to most people they all chatter too much for my liking but I remember that somehow I took to him from the first. He was a slight, dark young fellow, with wonderfully bright eyes and a knack of putting on his clothes that almost hid their sbabbiness. I was able to place one or two copies for him, and he used to come in here often enough. He was just a young fool, with his pride and his dreams and his mad notions about the loftiness of art. And yet I believe he was happy enough. Dreams are all nonsense, bitter nonsense, but somehow It did me good to see him and to speak to him." I edged my pouch an inch forward, and Michael Labram filled hla old brown carved meerschaum with absent, musing eyes. "He came in to me one morning as gay as any bridegroom, although I could guess he was hungry enough. He brought with him a full size copy of Turner's picture, 'The Fighting Teme raire.' which he had been working at for the last few weeks. It was good work, but I had no customer for it, and I couldn't afford to offer him even the few pounds it was worth as a speculation, and anything less he would have known was only my charity. "I told him this, and he began to laugh and whistle as he always did when he was hit a bit harder than usual. And that made me sorrier than if he had whined to me. And then, just at that moment, as luck would have it, Mr. Brogelheimer came Into the shop. I whispered to Mr. Baring to wait outside for a bit and I would see if this customer cared to look at his copy. So he went out, and that fat German took his place at the counter. "But I did not have a chance to mention the copy to him; he was too full of something else. He said that an Idea had come to him in the night and he had hurried down to tell me all about it. I nodded to him to say on. but for a time he did nothing but boggle instead of speaking straight. He wanted to buy a picture, a famous picture, any famous picture. Well, that sounded sim ple enough, but I wondered why he should come to me about it. One or two costly things have found their way In here; but all the same, this is hardly the sort of shop where many famous pictures are bought and sold. And Mr. Brogelheimer, as I've told yon, was not exactly the sort of man to give the price that uch things fetch. "However, he came to the point at last. He wanted a famous picture, sure enough, but he didn't want to pay a famous price for it. And so he had come to me. He took a long while in bringing It out. but he did It in the end. He thought that I would be In touch with thieves, and he would be ready to take from my hands any well known stolen picture that might be going cheap! Of course he would not be able to show It to his friends, but he fancied the idea of having it as his own. and still more (as I could Bee) he fancied the idea of something that was crooked. And he wanted to know If I could do It for him without risk. "Maybe you don't believe this story; maybe you think that a man in Mr. Brogelheimer's position wouldn't care to chance Im prisonment Just for the sake of tickling his private vanity. Then all I can say is that yon don't understand what vanity will do for a man. and you don't realize the lengths to which men will go when they've been bitten by the craze of art collecting! I could tell you a story of a man whose name Is another word for hon esty Ah. you do believe me? Well, it's civil of you to say so anywayt "When I had beard him out I sat and looked at the man across the counter, and for the moment I thought about taking him by the neck and showing him from the shop. He was far bigger and fatter than I. but I could guess that he was not much of a fight ing man. I've done a queer thing or two in my time, but they haven't been done in the fashion he'd been good enough to sug gest. They've been done for a friend or because I had to. and not to gratify a rascally sweater who was prepared to haggle over shillings even in a Job like this. And. besides, the thing was too risky to be thought of, even if I had wanted to do it I thought for a bit while he watched me with his little piggish eyes, and then I lifted my hand and I pointed to the door. There's the way out of my shop, Mr. Brogelheimer.' I said, quite quietly. T shall be glad if you will go through that door. Michael Labram paused again and for so long that I broke one of my rules. "What did the German say, Mr. Labram? I asked, for I was curious. "He began to splutter and swear, just as I might have known he would. He wanted to know what I meant by my Impudence lad why I had forgotten that I was speaking to a gentleman. You've forgotten something, too,' I said. Tou've forgotten that Tm not a receiver by trade. And at that he went on worse than ever. He called God to witness that he had never proposed that I should procure him stolen property, and it was true enough that he had never actually put It into words. He was far too cunning a man to do so. But he had made it clear enough that that was what he wanted, and if I had agreed to it there would have been no trouble from him. I was very angry, but I've always had tha knack of growing quieter as I grow hotter. "We've said enough,' I told him. 'I've asked you once to get out of this shop, and that ought to be sufficient I wouldn't say any more, as he went on spluttering and stamping, but- I Just pointed. And he went through the door at last. I sat thinking about it all, and. when J looked up Mr. Baring was looking over the counter. 'Well, Mr. Labram,' he said, 'Is that stout gentleman going to buy my copy? 'No, Mr. Baring,' I told him, 'be isn't. I couldn't even offer it to him. And, what's more, he's been egging me on to do what I've never done for the likes of him. He's made me so angry that I can hardly trust myself to speak even to you.' "'What's he been up to?' he asked In his pleasant way, and with that I told him all about It Mr. Brogelheimer hadn't mad me promise to be silent and he didn't deserve that I should be. When I had finished the story Mr. Baring whistled and then was silent for a bit, as though he was thinking. 'So he wants you to steal a famous picture for him, Mr. Labram?' he says at last 'Well, when a man is really set on a thing I always think it is a pity not to humor him! 'What do you mean? I asked him quickly, for I knew he was a gentleman all the way through, and I couldn't understand him talking like that And with that he told me the Idea that "So I put on my hat and coat and led him out of the shop. Ha was half dazed, but all the same I don't think he much fancied walking through the streets with me. I'm sure I didn't much care about being seen with him myself, and I'm not a great hand at walking at any time, but this had to be done. I left the shop to look after itself, and we came in about ten minutes to Trafalgar square. We climbed the steps and went through the turnstiles and to the left Into the Turner room. When we got there I thought Mr. Brogelheimer would have fallen In a heap on the floor, for the space where the Temeraire' always hangs was empty! "He turned to me with his mouth dropping open, and I whis pered to him quickly before he could speak. 'Ask an attendant where the picture is and see what he tells you,' I said. 'Hell say that there's a trifling repair being done to the frame. Perhaps It's true, or perhaps they'ra afraid to let the public know that the picture's missing!' "Well, he did what I said, and the attendant answered him pretty snappily in my very words. As a matter of fact that was what young Mr. Baring had been told when he asked the same question. It didn't eem enough reason for removing the picture even to me, and to Mr. Brogelheimer, who had been carefully prepared, it sounded uncommonly fishy. He turned back to me, and he whispered quite hoarsely, 'Dat is enoff; I take him!' "I took him by the arm and dragged him into the open air and told him to come back to me that evening after dark. He was there, sure enough, and I led him into the little room at the back, where one or two queer things have happened. His face was all white and damp and sticky and his fat hands were shaking. 'You'll remember, Mr. Brogelheimer, I said to him solemnly, 'that I'm selling you this picture as a copy.' "Soon after he had gone Mr. Baring came In. Vs arranged. I .howed him the five pound notes and told him no was to take them all. But ha wouldn't hear of that. r.o. w. must go halves, of course, Mr. Labram,' he said. I "f"' don't feel as much ashamed of the business as I ought to. But m man tried to make you a thief, and. after all. be has bought Vbm picture as a copy. Your London experta have almost killed my natural vanity, Mr. Labram, but if aver a copy was worth tv that Is tha one! Personally I think Mr. Brogelhelmar has got a bargain.' 'I'm not a bit ashamed of It I "aid. and no mora I was. After a lot of talk I made him taka three of the notea, and then he would have It that I must dine with him. It wasn't much m my line, and I was old enough to be hla father, butI went wita him. We had a wonderful dinner somewhera In Soho, and eonl" how somehow It warmed my heart that a boy like him should seem to like me well. He was one of the few I've aver cared for. He is famous now, as I've told you, but he hasn't forgotten hla way to the old shop." Michael Labram filled his pipe again, and we sat In a cloudy silence for very long. I was Just about to risk a question when he surprised me with a kind of chuckle. It was tha aort of sound that an amused goblin might have made. "A week after that Mr. Brogelheimer came to the shop again. He burst In like a mad bull, and hia little eyes were almost eut of his head with rage. 'You haf tricked me! he said. 'You are'von thief and rogue!' "What is the matter, Mr. Brogelheimerr I asked, although I guessed. He stamped upon the floor with his great feet I haf Just come from de national gallery,' he said, 'and dere I see upon de walls 'Da Fighting Temeralrer Yon shall ba prosecuted for dls! "I leaned over the counter, and I whispered to him sort of con fidentially. 'They're still keeping it up, Mr. Brogelheimer,' I said. They daren't tell the public that it's missing. I expect that what you saw upon the walls was Just an expensive copy.' He stare at me doubtfully, and I expect my eyes were twinkling a little. You lie! You are von liar and scoundrel r he snorted at last It Is a copy dat you sold me, an expensive copy, and you told ma dat it was de genuine article. But I will be even with you for dis! Ton can do what you like about that Mr. Brogelheimer,' I said quietly. 'I'm sure a good many people will be interested to hear the story you have to telL Meanwhile X hold your receipt i jr c, f j EL mm; had come to him. There was something about It that tickled my fancy hugely, but I didn't see how it was to be done. 'Ah, it's all very well as a joke, Mr. Baring," I said at last and I allow that Mr. Brogelheimer knows no more about pictures than the man in the moon, but he isn't altogether a fooL He's 'only got to go to the N. G. to see for himself. 'Now, that's just where my Idea comes in,' he answered. 1 was at the N. G. this morning, and what I saw there has made me think of this. You sit down now and write to him mysterious ly, saying that you've altered your mind and that something has come your way that might suit him. But make it clear that you're only offering him the picture as a copy. Then, whatever happens, you'll be safe, and we shall clear a tenner apiece by legitimate trade. I'm sure the thing's worth that and no one wants a tenner more badly than I do. "Well, that was true enough, and I wanted to help him to earn It and, besides, I wanted badly to punish Mr. Brogelheimer. What Mr. Baring told me made It seem quite possible that we should be able to do so. I didn't see that there was much risk in what he had suggested, and so I set to and wrote a letter with his help that brought Mr. Brogelheimer to the shop by 10 the next morning." There followed five minutes of dreamy silence, through which I smoked patiently, and then the spirit moved the old gentleman to resume his tale. "Of course I wasn't going to show myself eager when he came. I sat there In my chair, and he threw the letter down on the counter. 'What does this mean?' he says sharply. He was still a bit sore, of course, about being ordered out of the shop. 'Pre cisely what it says, Mr. Brogelheimer,' I told him. 'It means that I've got a picture in the room at the back which I should like to show you. It's a curious thing, coming on top of what you said yesterday. But you must give me your word of honor not to let this matter go any further, whatever comes of It' "Well, I suppose he thought that sounded well, and he prom ised quite eagerly, as I had known he would. His promise was no more to him than this match Is to me. So I got up pretty leisurely and led him into the little room at the back there. Then I shut the door carefully and unrolled a picture In the corner and put It upon the table. Mr. Brogelheimer gave a sort of fat gasp of amazement when he saw what it was. "I don't know If you are acquainted with Turner's 'Fighting Temeraire?' Mr. Labram asked me, with his dry, tolerant air. "Ah. you are? Then there's no need to tell you how that picture looked. In the dim light the sunset seemed to glow like some great jewel, and it all quite took hold even of me to look at It To my mind it's one of the big pictures of the world, that one. It had been copied by a man who knew his business and was a true artist down to his finger nails, and in that light it would have puzzled even a good judge to say that It was not original. As for Mr. Brogelheimer, he gobbled over it like a fat pig over a full trough. It was one of the few pictures that even he knew all about 'Ach! What Is dis? he says, and he was so excited that his English was not as good as usual. Yon do not mean to say dat dis is genuine and not a copy? T mean to say very little, Mr. Brogelheimer,' I answered. 'As I told you In my letter, I offer you this picture as a copy. But I'm pretty keen to get it out of this shop! It came to me In a curious way, and it's too big a thing for me to handle. I'm giving you a chance that may not come again.' i "He caught my hand In his two hot, fat pawa. 'Man, man. Is dat Turner's great picture?' he said In a sort of whisper. 'Do you mean to say dat It has been stolen from de national gallery? Is it a copy, or how did It get into your hands?' 'That I'm not going to tell you, I answered him stolidly. Either this is genuine and worth 20,000 if it could be put on the market or else it's only a good copy and worth perhaps 20. You can have that picture for 20 In banknotes, Mr. Brogel heimer, and glad I shall be to see the last of it I tell you I'm afraid to have It here! "And that was true enough in a way, for I was often afraid that young Mr. Baring would come near to starving before he made his mark. Mr. Brogelheimer stared at me for a moment and when he spoke his voice was hoarse. 'How may I tell dat you are not cheating me how may I tell? he said and tried to catch my hand again, but I was too quick for him. 'There's only one way,' I said quietly. 'I'm going to 'put on my hat now and walk with you to the national gallery. Then youll be able to judge for yourself about this picture.' N v.'X SETS J.&Z:y. Hi il( 7 iXa for a copy of a picture, and I fancy that for once In your life you have paid a fair price for something. That will be a comfort to -you one day, Mr. Brogelheimer, when you come to remember how many starving women you have cheated! And now the door Is still standing where I pointed to it before!" There was a moment's silence, and then I looked up quickly, quite startled by a strange creaking sound. At the recollection of his triumph Mr. Michael Labram, for the first time in our ac quaintance, was laughing softly to himself. AAdOty He burst in like a mad bull, haf tricked me!' he said. You "It has always been a pleasure to me to speak the truth when possible. 'Yes,' he says, quite eager, as though there might be some body listening, 'and it is as a copy dat I buy It' So we were both quite happy. "I showed him the picture again, and then I wrapped it up carefully for him to take. He took out his pocketbook and put four five-pound notes upon the table as though It hurt him to part with them. I had made out two receipts for us to sign. One was for a copy of Turner's 'Fighting Temeraire' and the other was for 20 In payment of that copy. He was very jumpy, and he kept asking me If I thought there was much danger, but I think he enjoyed what he imagined was the crookedness of it all. He was that kind of man. I fancy he would have liked to shake hands at the end, just for the sake of a sort of companion ship in danger, but Tve told you what I always thought about his hand. I bowed him out of the shop at last ABRAHAM LINCOLN By EDWIN MARKHAM THE color of the ground waa In him, the red earth. The tang and odor of the primal things The rectitude and patience of the rocks.
