Monday Mrs. Robert Dent received the sad intelligence of the passing on of her youngest sister, Mrs. John Coolos at White Plains, N. V.

First Communion at St. Bernard’s Avery pretty ceremony took place last Sunday at St. Bernard’s church, when a large number of the children of the parish received Holy Communion for the first time. The altars were beautiful with flowers and lights. And as the children in white, crowned with wreaths, marched up the main aisle to the tri umphant music of the organ, the scene was most inspiring. To add to the solemnity of the occassiou. the Junior Sodality, the Altar society and the Knights of Columbus occupied places of honor next to the young communicants. Next Sunday Archbishop Messmer will administer the Sacrament of Confirma tion to a class of forty-two. Solemn High Mass will be sung at 10 o’clock, during which the Archbishop will pre side in the Sanctuary. At the close of the Mass, the confirmation service will take place. Archbishop Messmer is a deep thinker and an able speaker. His utterances on Socialism and social evils command widespread attention through out the country. His altitude towards Woman’s Suffrage is pronounced and positive. Hence, there will undoubtedly be a large number present next Sunday, not only of Catholics but. also of uou- Gatholies, to listen to the distinguished prelate. Ladv Run Down by Auto.

Many of the citizens of Watertown. w r ent to Oconomowoc Sunday to attend the annual gathering of the Saengerfest of the Lutheran choirs, in the southern part of Wisconsin. Choirs from this city were in attendance, also the Northwest ern College band.

Frank Schultz, the dean of the mail carriers in Watertown, has resigned af ter a service of nearly nineteen years, his resignation taking effect on the Ist inst. Adolf W. Krueger who has been on the substitute list, has been appoint ed to till the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Schultz, who will be missed by the people on his route as well as by many other citizens. Move on Now! says a policeman to a street crowd, and whacks heads if it don’t. “Move on now,” says the big, harsh mineral pill to bowel congestion, and suffering tollows. Dr. King’s New Life Pills don’t bulldoze the bowels. They gently persuade them to right action, and health follows. 25c at Gamm Corner Drug Cos. Makes the Nation Gasp. The awful list of injuries on a Fourth of July staggers humanity. Set over against it, however, is the wonderful healing, by Bucklcu’s Arnica Salve, of thousands, who suffered from burns, cuts, bruises, bullet wounds or explo sions. It’s the quick healer of boils, ulcers, eczema, sore lips or piles. 25c at Gamin Corner Drug Cos. Elected Secretary of Boards. Edward F. Wieman has been elected secretary of the board of park commis sioners, vice A. D. Platz resigned, the election occurring at a meeting of the board held Friday evening. The board showed wisdom in electing Mr. Wieman to the position, for which he is eminent ly qualified. After Fourteen Service.

A former resident of Watertown and a subscriber to the Leader in renewing his subscription writes; “I admire your in dependence in publishing your paper— wisli there were more like you,” also “1 think it rather shabby of Col. Roose velt to force President Taft to fkht for his political life and a renominatiou duo him. It is my private opinion, that should Roosevelt defeat Taft for the re publican nomination, it will do him no good, as lam confident that enough re publicans will vote for a good democrat or not go to the polls.” The writer is an old-time republican, one of the Lincoln kind, who cannot ad just himself to the foolishness preached by demagogues. Flag Day. Gov. McGovern by proclamation has designated Friday, June 14th, as Flag Dav, and it is expected that every citiz en will on that day hang (jut a flag at his home, be it in city, village or coun try, and Old Glory will float above every business and public building in the state and over every schoolhouse. It might be well for every teacher in Wis consin on that occasion to give their pupils a history of the Hag and how it came to be adopted as the ensign of the United States, the stripes and stars hav ing a special significance—the thirteen stripes representing the original colonies and the stars the states which have been admitted into the union. Memorial Services. Memorial services in memory of the departed members of Log Camp No. 401 M. W. of A., were held at the English Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2:80 o’clock, and the pastor, Rev. K. J. Mathews, preached a very feeling and appropriate sermon for the occasion and spoke of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. which are insepar able in a true Christian concept <f life. At the close of the services, the members of the Camp, laden with fragrant flowers, accompanied by members of the Royal Neighbors, repaired quietly to Oak Hill cemetery and decorated graves of sleep ing comrades with the usual ceremonies. Man Coughs and Breaks Ribs. After a frightful coughing spell a man in Neenah, Wis., felt terrible pains in his side and his doctor found two ribs had been broken. What agony Dr. King’s New Discovery would have saved him. A few teaspoonsful ends a late cough, while persistent use routs obstinate coughs, expels stubborn colds or heals weak, sore lungs. “I feel sure it’s a God send to humanity,” writes Mrs. Eflie Morton, Columbia, Mo., “for I believe I would have consumption to-day, if 1 had not used this great remedy.” It’s guar anteed to satisfy, and you can get a free trial bottle or 50 cent or $1(10 size at Gamm Corner Drug Cos. Garibaldi’s Granddaughter. Saturday evening, Miss Italia Gari baldi of Rome, Italy, spoke at the Eng lish Methodist church, her subject being “Life’s Battles.” Miss Garibaldi, who is at the head of the Methodist Girls’ Home in the city of Rome, around which clusters much of the history of the world, was a delegate to the Methodist World’s conference recently held in Minneapolis. She is a granddaughter of the man who freed and unified Italy and her father is a general in the Italian army. She is a pleasant speaket, and it is too had the evening was rainy which prevented a crowded house to hear her. E. L. Bartlett Secures Contract. At a meeting of the board of public work, held Saturday the bids were opened and E lvvar.l L. Bartlett of this city was the lowest bidder. The bids were as follows; E. L. Bartlett, Watertown 8106.60 Mulhollond Kuehu, Manitowoc 8220.60 Gray& Roberts, Manitowoc 8209.13 F. E. Kaminski, Watertown 8720.18 W. F. Brunt, Hammond, Ind... 8909.53 Cayll Sc Moran.

Resigns as Express Agent. After a service of forty years with the American Express company, twenty throe of them in this city, Hiram Fulk erson has resigned and will be succeeded by Gebhart Scott of Madison who has al ready entered upon the discharge of the duties of the position as agent and who with his family will make this city their home. The retirement of Mr. Fulkerson ends a long period of faithful service which has been recognized by the com pany in granting him a liberal pension which is its custom. The retiring agent is an unassuming man whose business oftiee and home were the only places of interest to him, a man, the longer you knew him, the better you would like him, a man of decided opinions on all matters of interest, yet liberal to all who might differ with him, and he will be missed from the ollice by the patrons of the company. It is gratifying to his friends that ho is to remain in Water town, where he and his wife have a host of friends. Tall' for Woman’s Suffrage. Friday evening of last week, Mrs. Ella Stewart of Chicago, spoke from an auto mobile at the corner of Main and Third streets to quite an audience which had congregated to hear her argument in favor of woman suffrage. Mrs. Stewait who is an interesting talker, said that the right of women to vote was a world movement and nothing could stay it. Already the right lias been given in six of the states and in many municipalities abroad, and was now being agitated in several foreign countries. She called attention to the elective franchise in this country at an early day in its His tory, a right which lias been extended until all vote —and she might have said, except criminals, lunatics and women. She said that woman suffrage was the next great step toward a pure democracy and that the movement has received the endorsement of thousands of women re presented in their clubs throughout the couutry and when they obtain the right, they do vote, as has been demonstrated in the states where the right has been granted them and she might have said* they vote almost invariably for the well being of society and the protection of the home. Ends Hunt for Rich Girl. Often the hunt for a rich wife ends when a man meets a woman that uses Electric Bitters. Her strong nerves tell in a bright brain and even temper. Her peach-bloom eomplexhm and ruby lips result from her pure blood; her bright eyes from restful sleep; her elastic step from firm, free muscles, all telling of the health and strength Electric Bitters give a woman, and the freedom from indigestion, backache, headache, faint ing and dizzy spells they promote. Everywhere they are woman’s favorite remedy. If weak or ailing try them. uOc at Gamin Corner Drug Cos.

Is the subject of discussion by Jonathan Crenshaw, a business man, a stranger known as Bladen, and Bob Yancy. a farmer, when Hannibal Wayne Hazard, a mysterious child of the old southern family, makes his appearance. Yancy tells how he adopted the boy. Na thaniel Ferris buys the Barony, but the Quintal Is deny any knowledge of the boy. Yancy to keep Hannibal.

Betty Mairoy. a friend of the Ferrises, has an encounter with Cap tain Murrell, who forces his attentions on her. and la rescued by Bruce Carrington. Betty sets out for her Tennessee home. Carrington takes the same stage. Yancy and Hannibal disappear, with Murrell on their trail. Hannibal arrives at the heme of Judge Slocum Price. The Judge recog nizes in the boy. the grandson of an old time friend. Murrell arrives at Judge’s home. Cavendish family on raft rescue Yancy, who Is apparently dead. Price breaks Jail, Betty and Carrington arrive at Belle Plain. Hannibal's rifle discloses some startling things to the judge. Han nibal and Betty meet again. Murrell ar rive In Belle Plain. Is playing for big stakes. Yancy awakes from long dream less sleep on board the raft. Judge Price makes startling discoveries In looking up land titles. Charley Norton, a young planter, who assists the Judge, Is mys teriously assaulted. Norton informs Car rington that Betty has promised to marry him. Norton is mysteriously shot. (CHAPTER XVl—(Continued). “There you go. Price began Ma haffy. “Solomon, this is no time for me to hang back. I shall offer a reward of five thousand dollars for this informa tion." The judge’s tone was resolute. “Yes, sir, I shall make the figure com mensurate with the poignant grief I feel. He was my friend and client The next morning It was discovered that some time during the night the judge had tacked his anonymous com munication on the court house door; just below It was another sheet of pa per covered w'ith bold script: “To Whom It May Concern: “Judge Slocum Price assumes that the above was intended for him since he found it under his office door on the morning of the twenty-fifth Inst. “Judge Price begs leave to state It as his unqualified conviction that the writer Is a coward and a cur, and offers a reward of five thousand dol lars for any information that will lead to his Identification.” m Tom Ware was seated alone over his breakfast. He had left his bed as the pale morning light crept across the great fields that were alike his pride and his despair—what was the use of trying to sleep when sleep was an impossibility! He was about to quit the table when big Steve en tered the room to say there was a white fellow at the door. “Fetch him along In here,” said Ware. The white fellow delivered a pen ciled note from Murrell. When he was gone, the planter ordered his horse. As Ware rode away from Belle Plain he cursed Murrell under his breath. His own Inclination toward evil was never robust; he could have connived over a long period of years to despoil Betty of her property, but murder and abduction was quite an other thing. Three miles from Belle Plain he en tered a bridle path that led toward the river. A growth of small timber was standing along the water’s edge, but as he drew nearer, those better ments which the resident of that lonely spot had seen fit to make for his own convenience, came under his scrutiny; these consisted of a log cabin and several lesser sheds. Landing, he advanced toward the cabin. As he did so he saw two wom en at work heckling flax under an oner shed. They were the wife and daughter of George Hicks, his over seer’s brother. “Morning, Mrs. Hicks,” he said, ad dressing himself to the mother, a hulking ruffian of a woman. "Any body with the captain?” “Colonel Fentress Is.” “Humph!” muttered Ware. He moved to the door of the cabin and entered the room where Murrell and Fentress were seated facing each other across the breakfast table. “Well, what the devil do you want of me, anyhow?” demanded the planter. “How’s your sister, Tom?" inquired Murrell. “I reckon she’s the way you’d ex pect her to be.” Ware dropped his voice to a whisper. "John, you’ll ruin yourself with your damned crazy infatuation!" it was Fentress who spoke. “No. I won’t, colonel, but I'm not going to discuss that. All I want Is for Tom to go to Memphis and stay there for a couple of days. When he comes back Belle Plain and its nig gers will be as good as his. 1 am go ing to take the girl away from there tonight. How soon can you get away from here. Tom?” he asked abruptly. “By God, I can’t go too soon!” cried the planter, staggering to his feet. He gave Fentress a hopeless beaten look. "You’re ray witness that first and last I’ve no part In this!” The colonel shrugged his shoulders. Murrell reached out a hand and rest ed It on Ware’s arm. Three Builders of Nations Cavour. William the Silent and George Washington Never Yielded to Despotic Ideals. Asa nation-maker Cavour stands with William the Silent and George Each of these men ifought through the agony of a war of (liberation, yet never yielded for a mo ment to the militarist or despotic iideais so liable to be bred in time of crisis; each loved free institutions with his whole heart; each could have said as truly as William the Silent. "I was always on the side of the people;” yet each avoided the special faults of the demagogue as completely as Well ington or Peel; each planted justice and mercy amid the chaos of wrath and revolution; each kept an heroic equanimity of temper toward all their supporters, even toward the foolish and the false who bade fair to ruin their work; finally, each died leaving as his handiwork a nation whosj ev ery merit is symbolized in the life of isi|ppo^Ab| yimCT JUDGE \j3y VAUOHATf KESTER. I m /UitsrwnoHS ByD.M£lv/u S f* s" V Coprannr, foe Doges Me &>ul Compaq* jn "And Then It’s Change Your Name and Strike Out for Texas.” “Keep your wits, Tom, and within a week people will have forgotten all about Norton and your sister. 1 am going to give them something else to worry over.” Ware went from the cabin. “Look here, how about the boy are you ready for him if I can get my hands on him! i’ll send’ him either up or down the river and place him in safe keeping where you can get him at any time you want." “This must be done without vio lence, John!” stipulated Fentress. “Certainly, I understand. Which shall it be —up or down river?” “Could you take care of him for me below, at Natchez?” Inquired Fentress. “As well there as anywhere.” “Good!” said Fentress, and took his leave. Three-quarters of an hour slipped by, then, piercing the silence, Murrell heard a shrill whistle; it was twice repeated; he saw Bess go down to the landing again. A half-hour elapsed and a man issued from the scattering growth of bushes that screened the shore. The newcomer crossed the clearing and entered the cabin. He was a young fellow of twenty-four or five, whose bronzed face wore a reckless expression. “Well, captain, what’s doing?” he asked. “If anything’s to be done, now is the time, Hues. What have you to report?” “Well, I’ve seen the council of each Clan division.

Solomon Mahaffy had known that this was a civility Betty Malroy could by no means es cape. He had been conscious of the judge’s purpose from the moment it existed in the germ state, and he had striven to divert him, but his striving had been in vain, for though the judge valued Mr. Mahaffy because of certain sterling qualities which he professed to discern beneath the hard crust that made up the external man, he was not disposed to accept him as his mentor in nice matters of taste and gentlemanly feeling. He owed it to himself personally to tender his sympathy. Miss Malroy must have heard something of ,the honorable part he had played; surely she could not be in ignorance of the fact that the lawless element, dreading his fur ther activities, had threatened him. She must know, too, about that re ward of five thousand dollars. Cer tainly her grief could not blind her to the fact that he had met the situ ation with a largeness of public spirit that was an impressive lesson to the entire community. These w’ere all points over which he and Mahaffy had wrangled, and he felt that his friend, in seeking to keep him away from Belle Plain, was standing squarely in his light. He really could not understand Solomon or his objections. He pointed out that Norton had probably left a will —no one knew yet—probably his es tate would go to his intended wife what more likely? He understood Norton had cousins somewhere in middle Tennessee —there was the at tractive possibility of extended litiga tion. Miss Malroy needed a strong, clear brain to guide her past those difficulties his agile fancy assembled in her path. He beamed on his friend with a wide sunny smile. “You mean she needs a lawyer. Price?” insinuated Mahaffy. "That slap at me, Solomon, Is un worthy of you. Just name someone, will you, who has shown an interest comparable to mine? I may say I have devoted my entire energy to her affairs, and with disinterestedness. 1 have made myself felt. Will you men tion who else these cutthroats have tried to browbeat and frighten? They know that my theories and conclu sions are a menace to them! 1 got ’em in a panic, sir—presently some fellow will lose his nerve and light out for the tall timber —and it will be just Judge Slocum Price who’s done the trick —no one else!” "Are you looking for someone to take a pot shot at you?” inquired Ma haffy, sourly. “Your remark uncovers my fondest hope, Solomon —I’d give five years of my life just to be shot at —that would round out the episode of the letter nicely”; again the judge beamed on Mahaffy with that wide and sunny smile of his. “Why don’t you let the boy go alone. Price?” suggested Mahaffy. He lacked that sense of sublime confi dence In the judge’s tact and discre tion of which the judge, himself, en tertained never a doubt. “I shall not obtrude myself, Solo mon; I shall merely walk out to Belle Plain and leave a civil message. L know what’s due Miss Malroy in her bereaved state —she has sustained no ordinary loss, and in no ordinary fashion. She has been the center of a striking and profoundly moving tragedy! I would give a good deal to know if my late client left a will— “You might ask her,” said Mahaffy cynically. "Nothing like going to headquarters for the news!” “Solomon, Solomon, give me credit for common sense —go further, and give me credit for common decency! Don’t let us forget that ever since we came here she has manifested a charmingly hospitable spirit where we are concerned!” “Wouldn't charity hit nearer tha mark. Price?” CTO BE CONTINUED.)

When the steamer Tagus rose after a dip Into an enormous wave white she was on her way from Bermuda to New York, a bride, the only bride on board, was floating about the deck like a biscuit. The water was three feet deep and she might have been swept from the deck had not M. Kreishler, a New Yorker, grabbed her by the hair and saved her. So frightened was the young woman that she was carried to her stateroom in hysterics, and for five hours she could not be convinced that the ship was not sinking. Net the Only Favored One.

Chicks dying in the shell is a very common trouble in hatching and one which causes many failures each year. There was no attempt to discover why chicks die in the shell until the hatch ing of them with incubators became popular, although this trouble predom inated when old biddy sat on the eggs long before the Incubator was even thought of. There were only a few under each hen at the most, and noth ing was thought of it, but when the In cubator came into the field and made It possible to hatch them by the hun dreds the cause of chicks dying in the shell came up for discussion. Remember that the secret of secur ing high per cent hatches depends as much upon strongly fertilized eggs laid by healthy, vigorous birds as upon proper Incubation. The more frequent causes of chicks dying in the shell where the incubator or operator is at fault are irregular temperature, neg lect in turning the eggs, improper ven tilation or more frequently caused by operating the incubator in a poorly ventilated room. The directions ac companying an incubator are general ly to be relied upon, and if these are followed carefully no greater trouble should be experienced with the chicks flying in the shell where eggs are in cubated by artificial than by natural means, due allowance being made for the experience of the operator. Why chicks die in the shell Is some what of a difficult question to answer, for the causes are not always the same. Perhaps not in two cases In f- x,

It is, there fore, difficult to give any definite in structions that will apply in all cases. A few chicks failing to come out of the shell is no indication of faulty in cubation, nor does it necessarily mean a weakness in the breeding stock. However, when a large number die in the shell you should look about for the trouble, and this is not always easy to find. FOLDING EGG CASE IS NOVEL When Not In Use It Can be Collapsed Into Flat Piece —Resembles Children’s Lunch Box. When we speak of the folding egg case designed by two Minnesota men we want to make it piain at the outset that it is the case that folds, not the eggs.

The cover forms the bottom of the box made by opening the bellows-like Folding Egg Case. yarts to their widest reach, and when they are collapsed It receives them, forming one flat box that takes up very little room.

WHY SO MANY EGGS ARE BAD Producers Should Take Sufficient Pride, in Product to Give it Proper Care and Attention. During the warm weather there are many bad eggs placed on the market. These bad eggs may be dirty. Incu bated, shrunken or held, rotten or moldy and bad flavored. Some of the causes of dirty eggs are unsanitary conditions about the poultry house; lack of litter In the house; an insufficient number of nests; and not gathering eggs often enough. The few dirty eggs that are produced should be consumed at home and not washed and sold. With these faults corrected the number of broken eggs would be low ered, for some of the above condi tions result In both dirty and broken eggs. The cause of some of the breakage, however. Is the lack of min eral matter for the egg shell. Oyster shells or bone will furnish this min eral matter for the production of thicker shelled eggs. Egg producers should take sufficient pride In their product to give It prop er care from the time It Is laid until it Is marketed. Subsequent handlers should exercise a similar precaution. Careful attention to these important points would materially lessen the losses enumerated above, and would add to the pleasure of producing and of consuming this Important food. Eggs may be a delicacy or only an ordinary, or even inferior, material for food purposes, depending very large ly upon the way they are handled by producer, middleman and consumer. Desire for Meat Ration. The observing poultry raiser cannot fall to note how eagerly young chicks seize any kind of a scrap of meat. They will pull and tug and tumble over each other in their eagerness to get a bit of flesh, either raw or cooked. This indicates the desire which na ture has given them to supply their wants. Poultry Norgs Never set a thin, lousy hen. She won’t stay her time out Pet ducks are scarce; It Is a fact they rarely make friends. Parched meal Is good for chicks to pick when two or three days old.

NO. 23-1912. aa ■—a Pj p I- The Usher j I By Belle Kanaris Maniates m (Copyright, 1&12, by Associated Literary Press.) When Mrs. Warburton and her daughter Marie reached the little western city where they were to change cars, and found that they had missed connections, thus necessitating spending the night In a strange place, they accepted the situation with a tranquillity that bespoke an extensive acquaintance with the fate of travel ers. It was 7:30 o’clock when they regis tered at the hotel. They had already (lined on the train, and as it was too early to go to bed, Marie proposed the theater, as the clerk informed them that there w r as a good play booked for that night. “What a child you are, Marie,” laughed her mother, gazing fondly at her daughter. “Most girls that have been ’out’ five years and have had sea sons of grand opera and the best drama would be bored at the prospect of a provincial theater.” "That is just why It won’t bore me,” argued Marie; “because it will really be such a novelty. Do you know 1 have never been in as small a city as this? Sometimes 1 think,” she con tinued wistfully, “that people in the towns have a more interesting. Inti mate sort of life." Her mother was too much engaged In freshening up her toilet to follow her daughter’s train of philosophy, so Marie mused meditatively on life In general and her own life in particular. Beautiful in face and form, charm ing and attractive in manner, she had been courted and wooed but not won, because there still lingered an Ideal lover In the fancy of the young girl, and the suitors in her train were all of the one society type. "If 1 could only meet a man —a man’s man!” she thought. “I still maintain my faith In the existence of such a man—somewhere, and that 1 shall find him —somewhere. It might happen even in a litle provincial town like this.” The lobby of the little theater was crowded, and as they stood awaiting "How Did You Manage?” the services of an usher Marie re marked that It would be some time belore they could be shown to their seats. “Here Is an usher!” exclaimed the elder woman, handing her coupons to a tall, finely-formed man with dark, eager eyes and a resolute mouth. He courteously received the bits of pasteboard, looked at them with a puzzled pucker on his brow and after a momentary hesitation said: “This way, please!” He showed them to two of the most desirable seats in the house and in formed them that there seemed to be some mistake in the tickets, but he i thought these seats were better than t-he ones they had reserved. Mrs. Warburton agreed that they i were, and as he was leaving she re minded him that they had no pro grams. He apologized for the over sight and fetched them some. “He looks rather unusual for an usher,” said Marie when he had again left them. “In these little towns,” explained her mother, “things are so different. I presume he is the leading social light.” “He doesn’t look !lke a society man,” ruminated Marie. After the curtain rose the usher re- Found Herd of Rare Seals The Elephant Variety, Once Common, Now Said to Be Almost Extinct. One of the noteworthy results of a recent expedition on the government steamer Albatross was the discovery of a band of elephant seals. The ex pedition was commanded by Dr. Charles H. Townsend, director of the New York aquarium, and was sent out under the auspices of the New York Zoological Society and the Museum of Natural History, New York. The ani mals were found on the uninhabited Island of Guadeloupe, 20 miles off the coast of San Diego. The party cap tured alive six baby elephant seals, which were sent to the New York aquarium, where they are attracting great attention. Four skins of large adult males were obtained more than ilxteen feet long for a museum group. The remarkable elephant-like probos cis is as long as the head*. The maxi mum length of the adult male is twen ty two feet. The female, which is turned and occupied the seat next to her mother. “They surely have odd customs In towns,” concluded Marie, and then she became absorbed in the play. When the curtain fell after the first act, her mother asked the usher some question, and his reply led to a discus sion of plays and players. Marie lis tened idly. As the curtain again rose, she couldn't resist stealing a surrep titious glance in his direction. Their eyes met. His were eloquent and ap pealing, with a look of recognition. It amused and annoyed Marie that she, a woman of the world, was confused by the encounter of glances while he was perfectly composed. When the curtain fell for the last time he assisted Mrs. Warburton with her wrap and asked her if he should get her a carriage. She gratefully ac cepted his offer. “I think I must make an explana tion,” he said as they waited for the cab he hailed to drive up to the curb. “Quite naturally you mistook me for an usher. 1 did not contradict the er ror, because 1 saw you were stran gers, and I knew I could give you much better seats than the ones you occupied.” “It was certainly a blunder on my part,” laughed Mrs. Warburton, "but 1 am very grateful for your kindness.” The street seemed crowded to a greater extent than warranted by the number of people Issuing from the theater. A vender of patent medicine had insisted on holding his exhibition in the street. The police were endeav oring to prevent him and to disperse the crowd, who espoused the cause of the medicine man. The usher opened the door of the cab and assisted Mrs. Warburton to enter. As he then turned to Marie, a sudden gust of wind blew the door shut. The cabman, without turning his head, flicked his whip and drove rapidly away, leaving Marie and the usher at the curb. The struggling mass of citizens, medicine man and police came their way w'ith a rush, and a panic ensued. The usher caught Marie up with one arm and used the other to good serv ice in clearing a passage. Finally he succeeded in reaching a corner which he turned and they found themselves in a dark, quiet street. Marie still clung to her escort, speechless and breathless from terror. When she re gained her composure they started to walk to the hotel. T should have been trampled to pieces by that mob, but for you,” she exclaimed. “How did you manage?” “I was on the football team at Har vard,” he laughed. Before she could reply a cab drove up to the curb and Mrs. Warburton looked anxiously out. “As soon as 1 succeeded In making the driver understand,” she said, “1 made him drive back for you.” Marie got into the cab; they bade the usher adieu, and before they had finished their conversation with him the driver was away again. During the journey westward Marie found her thoughts often stray ing to the usher and the incidents of the evening. At Los Angeles a round of gayeties awaited them, for the oc casion of their trip to the coast was the marriage of Mrs. Warburton’s nepheiv, George Alexander. Two or three days before the wedding Marie was confined to her bed with a cold, but at the hour set for the rehearsal she managed to appear at the church, as she was to be one of the brides maids. As she entered the vestibule she heard a voice saying: Miss War burton?” She turned with a joyous little ex clamation. “I am a bona fide usher this time,” te said, “and 1 trust 1 have the loca tion of the pews. Did your cousin tell you that we were to walk down the aisle together?” "He said,” she answered demurely, "that 1 was assigned to a college friend of his, Roger Cornwallis, but of course I did not know It was you. That stupid cabman drove off before we could ask your name.” “That is where I had the advan tage,” he said. “I was sure you were Marie Warburton, whose picture I had seen in George’s room. Before I could tell you so the cabman drove up and then drove away again. 1 called at the hotel the next morning, but found you had gone.” “What’s the correct time, Roger?” asked George, coming up to them. “My watch has stopped. Oh, I am glad you two have met at last!” “Half-past seven,” replied Roger, consulting his watch, which he still held when George had passed on to join the others. Ha pressed the spring and the back cover flew open. “I suppose,” he said, “I ought to show you this.” And to Marie’s surprise she saw In the vatch a little picture of herself, ones a had had taken when she first came out. “George gave it to me,” he ex plained, “and I have always been long ing to meet you.” And in her heart Marls was saying, "And I have always been longing to meet you.” The other way Is tha trust-to-luck way. smaller, lacks a proboscis. The short proboscis, or “trunk,” has the nostril openings at the end. and can be ex panded and contracted at will. The male elephant seal fights desperately, as the scars on their necks and breasts bear evidence. They have formidable teeth and send forth gut tural roars which can be heard at a considerable distance. Unlike the fur seal, the elephant seal is a wonderful oil producing animal, having a deep layer of blubber six or eight inches thick; the oil Is even superior to whale oil. Fifty years ago elephant seals wore abundant, but, owing to their whole sale slaughter to obtain the valuable oil for commercial purposes by the sealers, the species is now approching extinction. —Scientific American.

The primary object of using trap nests is to develop a heavy laying Etrain. It has been found by the use of trap nests that the number of eggs laid per hen in an average flock varies from 40 to 245. Without using trap aests. the results from such a flock would be uncertain and probably un satisfactory. It is the object of the poultryman to breed and build up the etrain which lays the heaviest, by breeding to the heavy producers. For fanciers, the trap nest is Indis- II HI 111 111 I TRApY r*AP n?*P ’£/JP 'rrtv**a. Oran af* j Afirsrs I p7rcmJ* CC.i 1111 c C tep'crr./*eai J e+- Fc ■■r. /In JT 711 rg,jp 'y T i p r,n:w p. Sectional View of Nests. pensable on account of the fact that in the ordinary pen there are from six to 12 females to one male. If trap nests are used, and there are as many as there are females in the pen, it is possible to distinguish each hen’s eggs, while if the trap nests are not used, this is impossible. The use of trap nests goes far to prevent the hens forming the habit of egg-eating. They are likely to form this habit if kept in limited quarters. If so kept, they are probably not given the very best food, and probably not enough of it, especially animal food. The accompanying drawings of a bank of trap nests are self-explana tory. The nests are built without any top or bottom. The hen enters through Ihe back of the nest, brushing under the hanging wire, which releases the door. She then passes on to the nest compartment toward the front end. To inspect the nest, and to remove the hen, ascertain her number, and se cure the eggs, the front door is sim ply unbuttoned, and let down. It will be noticed that the two doors are fas tened together with a cord, so that when the front door is let down, the trap is automatically set again. The hen will find it difficult to leave through the back door at this lime, as the hanging wire permits her to go one w r ay only. These are so simple that in making them in almost any quantity, the material should not cost over 15 cents, at most, per trap nest. PERCH SPACE FOR CHICKENS Small Hens Should Be Allowed Six Inches, While Larger Birds Should Be Given Eight. Asa general rule, small hens should have about six inches of perch space, while the larger hens should be al lowed eight inches. In the winter they huddle closer together, but in the summer there should be plenty of room to allow them to spread out.

Perch for Chickens. Perches should be 12 inches apart and not closer than 15 Inches to the wall or ceiling. Show birds, especial ly Leghorns or similar type, should be kept at a greater distance from walls and ceilings. Many good birds are spoiled by “brooming” their tails against the walls. There are several methods of mak ing movable perches. One of the most common is by hinging them to the wall at the back. Hen Not Sentimental, There is no sentiment in a hen. Her only object in life is to get enough to eat. If she is given that and a warm, well-ventilated house to sleep in all night, a dry sheltered place in winter, she will do the rest. Fertility of Eggs. The disposition of the male bird has considerable to do with the fertility of the eggs. A male that is greedy and quarrelsome is apt to drive hens away from the feed and gulp down more than is good for him. Such males become overfat and conse quently sluggish. On the other hand, the too gallant tfiale will stand back while the hens are helping themselves. His condition is as bad as the greedy bird, for he is undefed and has not the proper strength to fertilize. Object of Scrubs. Scrub poultry may serve a good purpose in the pot, but: they should not be permitted to propagate their kind. Scrub hens should be mated to pure-bred males so that the breeding has an upward rather than a down ward tendency. Prepare Fowls for Killing. Fowls intended to be killed should not only be confined In a coop for 24 hours without food, but should be sup plied with plenty of drinking water, rhich aids in cleansing the intestines. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTOEIA lias met with pronounced favor on the part of pharma ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second —That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi lates the food: tw—lt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotio and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops. Godfrey ’s Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.

"The death by heart failure of Gen, Frederick D. Grant,” says the Medical Record, "emphasizes the repeated warnings of the medical profession that we should treat a senile heart with respect. As far as we know there is not the slightest disagreement on this one point—eveby human heart over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five, cannot stand much internal pressure without being ruined or at least dam aged. Avery slight man may go through severe muscular exertion with but little damage, but a heavy man, like the general, places on the heart and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be yond the safety point, and it never re covers. “The pitiful feature of this deplor able death is the fact that Gen. Grant in his last annual report had called attention to the opinion of life insurance examiners that army offi cers were becoming poor risks on ac count of the increasing strain on their profession. It is safe to predict more deaths like Gen. Grant’s, unless we treat the heart of a man over forty five with more gentleness. FEARED AN OPERATION, Found a Wonderful Cure Without It. James Greenman, 142 East Adams St., lonia, Mich., says: “What I suf fered with kidney trouble I can never express. It was nothing short of tor tture. In bed for three months with terrific pain in my back, an awful urinary weak ness, dizziness, ner vousness and depres sion, I rapidly lost 45 'pounds. My doctor advised an operation but I would not sub mit. Gravel was forming and the urine had almost stopped.

THE WATERTOWN WEEKLY LEADER (Successor to the Watertown Republican) PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING BY W.L. SWIFT, PUBLISHER Terms of Subscription: 11.50 per Year, Strictly in Advance; Six Months, 75 cents, Three Months, 50 cents. Sample Copies Sent Free on Application. Entered as Second-Class Matter. May 4th, 1905. in the Postoffice at Watertown. Wisconsin, under the Act of Congress. Adopted March 3rd, 1878 Watertown, Wisconsin, Jefferson County, Friday, June 7, 1912 Can He Be Trusted? Col. Watterson of Louisville, Ky., in an editorial on Roosevelt, said in part: Among the reckless and ruthless, the ignorant and the discontented, the glib-tongued demagogue ob tained recruits. Reading the speeches, or hearing these people speak one is reminded of the epigram of Roche foucauld, “As it is the mark of great minds to say many things in few words, so is it that of little minds to use many words to say nothing.” But when such becomes the pastime of a selfish demagogue having a following it becomes a menace. Unsound subjects may be known by their shallow oratory, by the use of the slang of the gut ter, by hyperbole and anti-climax, by flights of sheer bombast and in vective, by voluble overflow of words with no real underlying thought, and these have marked the utterance 0 of Theodore Roose velt throughout the present cam paign. So the people, the real people, will have to determine once for all, in the coming presidential election, whether such a madman and such methods shall prevail or whether we shall still have a government, a constitution and a country worth living and dying for. In 1861 the existence of the Un ion and the integrity of the govern ment, bound up in the Union, had to face a supreme exigency. The compact of states, not too strongly or too securely joined together in the first place, was rudely broken. The constitution, which "proved but a rope of sand, was invoked by both sections. They were equally sincere, equally determined, equal ly ready to fight. Happily for free dom, happily for racehood and manhood, happily for the self governing principle, the arbitra ment of arms, met on either side by a well-nigh united response, left us yet a nation. At length this nation is a world power. The issue precipitated by Theodore Roosevelt is to decide whether that arbitrament was in vain; whether that sublime decision of the sword, with all that went before it and all that it carried with it, shall be nulified; whether become a world power, this nation shall proclaim to mankind its own failure by the abandonment of its constitution, the overthrow of its safeguards and the naming of a dictator. He who says this is not the issue, little recks what he is saying; he who thinks it is not, were prudent to question his sani ty. In its ultimate analysis, and its last word, the Roosevelt propa ganda is the invocation of a mad man to Civil war. Washington Letter. While the country is being ex cited by the struggles between the many aspirants for the presidential nominations, it is a pleasing fact to know that the industries of the country are showing greater activ ity than at any time since the year of 1907. During the past months orders have been placed for 23,000 freight cars and 165 locomotives. Since April 1 st. orders have been placed for 46,000 cars and more than 500 locomotives. In addition to these, large orders have been placed for an early delivery of steel rails. The increased activity among the railroads and large orders for steel and iron products are the surest signs of reviving business and the return of prosperity, as railroads above all others are infallible bar ometers of business conditions and when they begin placing orders it is evident that the business of the country is in a healthy condition. With the very evident signs of healthy business coming to the front, the hopes of the republicans in electing their candidate for pre sidency this fall is growing bright er. The democrats always base their hopes of success on hard times, and depend on discontent among the voters to turn the re publicans out, which of course, would mean to turn them in. But with the revival of business the likelihood of a republican defeat grows smaller and smaller, THOUGHTS BY THE WAY. There would be more sympathy with the complaints regarding the colonel’s campaign expenditures, if the opposition elements would give to the public the amount ex pended in behalf of Mr. Taft. It is safe to say the federal office hold ers have succeeded in spending as much for the president’s campaign as Roosevelt’s supporters. —Wau- kesha Freeman. Which is worse? To receive the support of a few office-holders, or be backed by the “big interests” of the country which are fighting Taft, because he has endeavored to do his duty toward the people to prevent them from being robbed by the men supporting Roosevelt. It begins to look as if there was no hope for the Republican party because of its divided condition. Should Taft be nominated, the in surgents to a man would do all they possibly could to defeat him, and should Roosevelt be nominat ed, the men who have the w r elfare of the country at heart would vote for the democratic nominee. It be gins to look as if Bryan was the coming man of the nation, and if nominated by the democrats, would sweep the country. There is no Republican party any more —it is now go as you please. The writer is still of the opinion that the president will make a mis take by intervening in the trouble in Cuba, or take part in the Mex ican squabble. Foreigners who go to those countries to make mon ey are entitled to no more nor less protection than natives of those countries. It is all wrong to bur den the people of this country and jeopodize the lives of American citizens to protect monied inter ests in competition with local cap ital. If Roosevelt cannot control the republican convention, he intends to bolt and become a rump candi date. Should he be nominated at the regular convention, there are a million of real, regular, true re publicans in this country who will bolt his nomination and vote for Bry, n if given an opportunity. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Senator Depew says that under the primary system a candidate can’t be nominated without gall and gab; but hasn’t he neglected to numerate cush, coin, kale, ma zuma, dough aud spondulics? Nothing else is quite so refresh ing as a political campaign free from personalities. Neither is any thing else quite so scarce. When one speaks of Mr. Cobb of Georgia now, reference is not made to the former speaker of the House, but to the present king of the dia mond. An amateur aviator on Long Is land fell out of his aeroplane into his back yard the other day, and now we suppose he is complaining of his hard lot. And a little while ago we were deploring that friendly scrap be tween Diaz and Madero. Running for the presidency is somewhat like checkers and vari ous other pastimes.

Hathaway-Domestic Science 80.00 KNEW SOMETHING ABOUT IT Modest Appearing Man Proved He Had Right to Criticise Youth ful Art Student. An art student was copying one of Abbott S. Thayer’s paintings at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art one day, when a plainly dressed man who looked as if he might be a mechanic approached and, posting himself at the young man’s elbow, watched him as he labored over his subject. “You’ve got the angle of the mouth wrong, and the left eye is too oblique,” remarked the man decidedly. The student blinked angrily and the hand that wilded the brush trembled slightly, but he took no notice of the unsolicited criticism. “There Is too much yellow in your flesh tint,” continued the man. “Still no reply from the student, who ostentatiously slapped on more yellow in the high light on the nose. “Did you hear what I said?” ques tioned the man. “Yes, I heard,” responded the stu dent wrathfully, turning and glaring at his modest looking critic. “What do you know about it, anyway?” “I ought to know something about it,” was the smiling response. “It was I who painted the picture.” FIRE DOG UNWELCOME GUEST Even Boarding Him One Day In the Week Almost Gives Woman Nervous Prostration, Ask any fireman’s wife what day in the week she dreads most, and the chances are she will tell you the day the fire station dog taJres his meals at her house, says the Philadelphia Times. “Not that we don’t like the dog,” on© woman said, “but because w r e have to be so careful about our cook ing. The men at the station where my husband works are afraid to bring Barney up on restaurant food. They think he will thrive better on good home cooking, so they take turns at entertaining him. “Wednesday Is his day here. He comes for all three meals. It is a day of anxiety. If I make things too rich Bob swears I’ll give Barney Indiges tion. If they aren’t rich enough he will not be sufficiently nourished. I don’t mind cooking for Bob nor for any amount of company, my mother in-law included, but fixing things for Barney gets on my nerves.” Threw Wooden Shoes at Bride. In the shower of missiles hurled after the wedded pair something struck the settlement worker with stinging force. “What on earth!” she exclaimed; then quickly added: “A wooden shoe! Who ever heard of throwing a wooden shoe at a bride?” “Most everybody who has attended weddings In this part of town has heard of it,” said the officiating curate. **lt is the custom her© to throw wood en shoes because at some time in her life nearly every bride has worn a pair. For the present generation they were not her Sunday shoes, nor her evening dress shoes, nor even her ev eryday street shoes, but around the house and maybe to the nearby shops in rainy weather she has clattered around often enough in wooden shoes to justify having a pair thrown at her for old time’s sake.” —Boston Herald.

FULLER’S EARTH IN AMERICA industry Has Reached Greatest Pro duction and Consumption in Its History. Fuller’s earth, the claylike material that Is used principally as a filtering medium for oils, fats, and grease, is found In 15 states, as shown by a re port of the United States geological survey. In 1911 fuller’s earth was pro duced in but seven states, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Massa chusetts, South Carolina, and Texas, and there were no unusual develop ments In the Industry. New deposits are reported from time to time, but In many the high standard of effi ciency required is not found and only a few of the deposits are worked. Of the large number of known deposits but 13 were worked in 1911. Some of the causes for the small number of workings, in addition to the high stan dard of quality required, are inaccessi bility of the deposits and lack of capi tal. Notwithstanding the comparatively small number of producers, the output has almost steadily increased from the small beginning in 1895, when but 6,900 short tons were reported, valued at $41,400, or $6 a ton, to 1911, when 40,697 tons were reported, valued at $383,124, or $9.41 a ton. Florida continues to be the leading state. In 1911 It reported 27,658 tons, valued at $265,571, or $9.60 a ton. This was 68 per cent, of the quantity and 69 per cent of the value of the entire ouput and value. The other states in the order of their rank in output apd value In 1911 were Georgia. Arkansas, Texas, Massachusetts, California and South Carolina. It Puzzled Him.

Platinum is largely em ployed in the manufacture of chemi cal utensils, owing to its immunity to the effects of heat, acid. etc. Turk Makes Good Soldier. Stupid, honest, kind to children, al beit somewhat callous to the suffer ings of animals: brave, and, above all. silently enduring, the Turkish peasant soldier is a man for whom one cannot help feeling a strong sympathy in all his miseries.

It has been my policy to avoid extreme measures, and I have made every ef fort to suppress the seditious uprising without appealing to congress, but the necessity for such action as will bring about a rapid termination of the armed insurrection, avoiding foreign complications, makes it imperative that I be given the power requested, which will be used with the modera tion that has characterized all my acts.” TAFT WINS FIRST FIGHT.

WILL PROBE HIGH PRICEBOF MEAT Department, of Justice Plans Supplementary Inquiry. MAY SEEK A DISSOLUTION Intimated, However, Packers Will Vol untarily End National Packing Company or Bring It Into Harmony With Law. Washington, June 4. —Congress and the department of justice are about ready to investigate another "trust,” and in consequence some of the big men in the packing industry, who were recently acquitted in criminal proceedings in Chicago, probably will be summoned to Washington to tell why the price of beef and other meats has gone up. The question ot whether the coun try’s meat supply may be controlled in violation of the Sherman law has been caled to the attention of the de partment by individuals, and also by Representative Edwards’ bill directing the attorney general to make an in vestigation. Since the packers were acquitted at Chicago some time ago of criminal vio lation of the Sherman law, the depart ment of justice has been keeping in close touch with the meat situation and Attorney General Wickersham has had under consideration a civil suit for dissolution of the National Pack ing company. United States Attorney Wilkerson at Chicago has been reviewing the evi dence at the criminal trial, and Oliver E. Pagan, one of the government’s spe cial attorneys, has been studying the situation. It is estimated that a fed eral grand jury recently impaneled in Chicago might investigate some charges regarding the testimony of certain witnesses in the criminal suit. Indirect intimations have reached the government that the packers might take some voluntary action to dissolve the National Packing com pany or bring it into harmony with the law. Whatever may be done in this re gard, it is thought certain that Attor ney General Wickersham will direct a comprehensive investigation to find if the soaring prices of meat are due to any violations of tbe anti-trust law.

Wrecks or the New t Jersey N THE department, of the life —fe-f saving service at Washington A ~n a* they so me l me a apeak of a j f jSjj night’s work on the Jersey coast,” which, to a casual listeu er, carries no especial signlfi canoe. It is only when one Is curious enough to probe behind (the matter-of-fact attitude of the department officials, or dig into the time-yellowed reports of the I coast patrol that one obtains a glimmer of what this branch of government service expects of Its servants, and of the unemotional heroism that is concealed In that casual phrase—“a night’s work.’ From Washington, If you go down into the life saving stations along the Jersey shore, you will find the same casual Indifference to the story of one night which Is now history—an Indifference that might lead to the belief that the occasion was a trifle, were it not for the fact that In the memories of the old men of the service its de tails are still vivid. It was the third of February, 1880. were rushing along the Atlantic coast. They met off the Jersey shore, a howling, roaring conflict of wind and weather, snow-rent and sleet-riven. As darkness settled the life-saving crews In the stations along the wind-swept coast watched the sea with foreboding In their hearts. At. midnight the storm was at its height. In the next twelve hours during Its continuance the apprehensions of the Jersey patrol found realization. Within those tw r elve hours there were five wrecks within the scope of four consecutive stations, while another disaster engaged a station a short distance beyond. The men of the stations rescued forty-three persons, tolled hungry and half-frozen in darkness and tempest established a standard of bravery and fortitude that is unique and went through the ordeal with that offhand carelessness of personal risk which characterizes those of their calling. At one In the morning Keeper Charles H. Val entine of Station No. 4 lay gravely ill of pleurisy. At 1;30 Surfman Van Brunt, staggering into the drift of the gale on the west patrol, caught the red gleam of a light in the breakers. So fierce was the wind, filled with driven sand and sleet, that he could not look into its teeth, but by shielding his eyes and looking across It he saw the outline of a large schooner. She was the E. C. Babcock of Somers Point, and she was on a bar close to shore. I Van gj-unt ran foj the station and gave the alarm. Despite his Illness, Keeper Valentine rose from his bed and in person led his crew to the rescue. Baffled by the snow which lay thick along the beach, by the gale that tore seams in their faces, and by the intense cold which froze shot line and beach apparatus, the life savers fought for two hours to get a line aboard the stranded vessel. At length they succeeded, and a man came ashore in the breeches buoy. He said tliat the captain of the Babcock had his wife and two small children on board. The breeches buoy w r as sent out again and the captain came ashore In it, his six-year-old daughter In his arras. His wife followed. Then came the mate with the other child. Last came the rest of the crew. The life savers went back to the station, and In the early hours of the stormy dawn were hastily rearranging the apparatus when one of the men saw a large brig coming head on for the shore. Keeper Valentine had gone back to bed, but one© more he arose and insisted on leading his men again to the scene of danger. Before the crew could get the half-prepared beach apparatus to the surf, the brig, running furiously before the tremendous sea, her sails split and tattered, struck with terrific impact. The tide was very high, and the brig, the Augus tina from Havana, came up close to the station and well inside the breakers. Just before she struck the life savers could see a man at the wheel, apparently steering composedly, his face emotionless, a pipe In his teeth. When the shock came a torrent of frothing seas broke over the vessel’s stern, covering the belmsan; but a moment later he could be seen standing at the wheel, unmoved. Then the brig swung broadside to the fusillade of thundering surf, and her crew fled forward to the bitts. By this time the life savers were on the beach with their gun, while a crowd of some hundreds of persons watched from the shelter of the higher dunes. The brig was so close to shore that Surf man Garrett White, following a receding sea down the beach, succeeded in throwing a heaving stick and line on board her. This the crew secured, and hauled the whip line on board, but, getting the tailblock, did not know what to do next. In vain the life savers signaled and shouted to them. They were Span ish, and the directions on the billet attached to the lines were in Italian and English only. At this moment the life savers were filled with horror. The crew T of the grounded brig, unable to solve the mystery of riging the breeches buoy, W’ere preparing to take a. teirlble risk. One of them seized the line and started the attempt of coming in on it hand over hand. Meantime the wreck of the Babcock, a quarter of a mile up the beach, had broken up, and the fragments of the vessel, together with her cargo of cordwood, were being swept by the current down about the Augustina, filling ibo surf with tumbling debris which well-nigh insurvsi the death of anyone who fell into it. In a moment the whip line, over w'hich the sailors were pre paring to come in, fouled In the wreckage. Dis regarding the shouts to wait, the first sailor, clad only in a pair of trousers, seized the line and be gan working his way in on it hand over hand. Rushing waist deep into the breakers. White eeizec the man, and as the brig rolled inshore and th line slackened he slipped the bight from the sailor’s neck. The next second both were caught in the in rush of wood and water and torn from the line to be hurled beneath the breakers. By a ter rific effort White succeeded in regaining his foot ing and, still clutching the sailor, dragged him out of the surf. While this struggle was taking place two more sailors had started down the line from the brig. Surfman'Van Brunt sprang into the water to aid them, but was swept from his feet, his life hang ing on a straw in the deadly mass of tumbling timbers. He was carried down-shore a hundred yards, where a. rrlendly wave shouldered him up on the beach. At the moment Van Brunt’s peril Wolf as a Bell Whether Canadian Settler's Experiment Didn’t Work Out as He Had Expected. A settler on the upper Mattawa piver in Canada caught a wolf. He had read that ships were sometimes cleared of rats by fastening a bell around the neck of one of them. Ac cordingly. it seemed to him that in a similar manner he might rid the ad- was recognized by those on shore, Surfman Pot ter leaped to his assistance, only to be himself unfooted and flung on to a floating mass of drift. As he lay there struggling to get to his feet, the liae suddenly tautened in the current and falling across his breast held him pinioned under water. For fully a minute he lay there helpless in sight of his comrades and slowly drowning. At last, nearly dead, a wave washed him free. Meantime one of the two sailors was torn from his hold on the rope and washed ashore uncon scious. Surfman Ferguson went for the other and brought him in. Surfman Lockwood rescued the fourth man. And so, one by one, in grim hand-to-hand com bat with the storm, the crew of the wrecked brig were rescued. Hours later she was boarded In the surfboat. In the cabin, lying in his bunk, a pistol bullet through his head, they found the captain. He had been part owner of the vessel, and when he had seen that she was lost, he had gone below, scrawled a note in Spanish saying he was ruined, and shot himself. While the men of Station No. 4 were battling at these two wrecks, those of Station No. 2 were rescuing seven men and the captain’s wife from the three-masted schooner Stephen Harding. While five miles off shore the Harding had been in collision with the schooner Kate Newman, which had gone down with all hands, save one man, who, as the vessels came together, leaped over the bulwarks of the Newman on to the deck of the Harding. At the same time Stations Nos. 11 and 12 were waging one of the grimmest and garaest fights against masterful odds in the history of the service. This struggle was at the wreck of the schooner George Taulane. The night before the big storm she was off Navesink, running steadily in the growing wind. An hour found the snow shutting thick over the rim of the sea, and the gale in creased to a hurricane. It was two in the morn ing when the craft found herself in distress. At that hour the deck load of lumber, piled high, broke loose. The terrific roll of the schoooner in the high sea sent huge timbers tumbling about her decks, making it almost impossible for the crew to stay above hatches. Twenty minutes later fire was discovered on board. Flames shot aft from the forecastle, igniting the deck load. With her progress somewhat arrested toward shore by the dragging anchors, the Taulane be gan drifting parallel to the shore, getting in close to it very slowly. At this time she was discov ered by the IPe savers of Station No. 11. This crew, leaving beach apparatus behind and knowing that no lifeboat could live in the breakers, followed the craft as she drifted along the coast, calculating that she would ground near Station No. 12 and depending on that station for apparatus. Shortly afterward the wreck was seen by Keeper Chadwick of Station 12, who ordered out his crew with beach cart and gun. At this time the vessel was about half-way be tween the two stations. On one side the crew of Station 11 were following her along the beach; on the other the crew of No. 12 were coming in to her. It was between nine and ten o’clock when the two crews met. The horses that had started wdth the beach cart of the men from Station 12 had refused to ford the sluices between the hills and had been left behind, the men dragging the cart themselves. The helpless Taulane was then still holding off the bar by her dragging anchors, and still drifting along shore. The two life-sav ing crews now joined forces in a strange and ter rible battle. The vessel was 400 yards off shore, her men in her rigging, the seas breaking and tumbling white all over her hull. But she was still moving, steadily, surely, alongshore, her keel free of the sand. The life savers at once placed the surf gun and a line which was fired fell across the Tau lane out of reach of her shipwrecked crew. Be fore another could be fired the vessel had drifted southward out of range. Loading the gun and apparatus into the beach cart, the two life-saving crews started after her alongshore, laboring manfully in the sand and flooded sluices to keep pace with the drift of the vessel t* leeward. In order to do this they w r ere obliged to proceed at what was almost a run. After twenty minutes of breathless work they were again opposes her, the gun was once more planted, and another ahot fired. At this portion of the beach the sand dunes were low, and the only potM of vantage from which the gun could be shot waa the top of the knolls. The knoll on which the effort was made was in an indentation in the shore, making It farther from the vessel, and. the line being wet and heavy, it failed to reach the Taulane. Once more the crews of Stations 11 and 12 loaded the heavy beach cart and staggered on after the fast drifting schooner. As the chase led to the south, the conditions on the beach became worse. The surf washed in higher, the sluices became more numerous, and the dry sand dune tops further separated. The next dry hill was 400 yards farther on, jacent woods of wolves. He therefore fastened a bell on the wolf’s neck and turned It loose. hen the snow had disappeared practically the settler allowed his flock of sheep to exercise their lambs In the fields near uis house. While he stood watching th© gambols of the lambs, the sheep pricked up their ears, as If intently listening. Then, with a great deal of bleating, the whole flock took to the woods. The settler won dered at this strange freak on the part of the lambs, but he went about his work. When, an hour later, the sheep returned, he discovered that one of the lambs was missing. The next day the same thing occurred again a lamb failed to return. The settler’s children tried to keep the sheep in the fields. When they could not do this, they followed the animals into the bush. They reported that they had distinctly heard a beli tin kling in the distance. and the beach that lay before it was well-nigh impassable. After twenty minutes of grim effort it was finally gained only to find that the vessel had passed it and was drifting on. Perhaps the best account of the remainder of the terrible march to its ultimate end is given in the report of the service of 1880, which says of it: “From first to last the difficulties of the life savers and the perils w'hich beset them never slackened a moment. The wheels of the cart, in coast phrase, ‘sanded down’ so rapidly—that is, sank so quickly in the infiltrated soil—that the conveyance had to be kept on the move lest it should be lost. Often the cart had to be partial ly unloaded and portions of the apparatus car ried by the crews to lighten it sufficiently to make progress possible, and at other times the men would have to fling themselves upon the wheels and hold them wjtJj.. aH their strength,to prevent the cart IrofrT being capsized by the inequalities of the submerged ground or the overwhelming inburst of the sea rushing high over the axles. “The escapes w r ere numerous. It was with great difficutly that the men could keep their feet in this constant onslaught and pelting of drift' wood. But not a man fell away or flinched from the work before him. “Not the least difficult of their tasks was that of keeping the lines, and especially the guns and powder, dry in the universal drench around them, and it is difficult to understand how they con trived it; for, aside from the number of actual firings, wherever a momentary pause of the ves sel as she grazed bottom, or a slowdng of hef motion, offered an opportunity for action, at least a dozen times, and probably more, the cart wan hurriedly unloaded on the nearest eminence, the gun planted and the shot-line arranged for the effort, when the wreck would suddenly roll aw r ay upon her course, and the men would have to ro load the cart and toil on again after her. In this way and with these interruptions, they worked down along the beach to station No. 12 and a quarter of a mile beyond it, when a chance of' fered for another shot; but the line parted. The crew again moved stubbornly on. It was now noon, and sbddenly the man so long seen hang ing in the rigging fell ln o the sea and was gone. The crew still followed the vessel with unslack ened activity. Half an hour later they saw an other man drop lifeless from the ratlines. “Laboring forward now for the rescue of the re maining five, they suffered a misfortune. In stag gering and floundering through one of the worst sluiceways with the cart, the gun toppled off into the flood and was lost. A desperate search was made at once, and finally it was found in four or five feet of water, fished up and wiped dry, and carried thenceforth by the stout keeper on his shoulder. A man was dispatched back to No. 12 for a dry shot-line, while the crew, moved on to a point three-quarters of a mile below the sta tion, where they got another chance to fire a shot, which, however, fell short, the tide having forced the firing party farther and farther back on the hills as they advanced, and the line, too, being weighted with moisture. “The cart was again reloaded, and the march resumed. A mile below the station the man over took them with the dry shot-line and, chance of fering, the last shot was fired-. This time it w-as a success] The line flew between the foremast and the jib-stay, and, the cut sweeping the bight of the line in to the side of the vessel, the sailors got hold of it and fastened it to the fore and main rigging. “As the schooner still continued to drift and roll, nothing could yet be done, but while the greater part of the force loaded up the cart and trudged on with it, three or four kept fast hold of the shore end of the shot-line, and kept pace with the wreck in leash. At the end of another quarter of a mile the vessel suddenly struck the tide setting north, stopped, swung head offshore and w-orked back to her anchors under the comb of the breakers. The time had come at last; and the whip-line, with its appurtenances, was bent on to the shot-line, hauled aboard, and made fast by the tail of the block to the mainmast head. “The wreck now slued around broadside to the sea and rolled frightfully. The hawser followed the whip-line on board, and the breeches-buoy was rigged on, but the vessel rolled so that It was impossible to set the haw ser up on shore in the usual manner, so it was rove through the bull’s-eye in the sand-anchor, while several men held on to the end to give and take with each roll of the vessel. The work of hauling the sailors from the wreck was now begun with electric en ergy. After two men w r ere landed, the vessel took the ground, but the circumstances increased rather than diminished her rolling, and some con ception of this powerful motion may be derived j from the fact that in one instance the breeches- 1 buoy with a man in it swung in the off-shore roll fully fifty feet in the air. “The strain and friction upon the hawser were so great that the lignum-vitae bull’s-eye through which It ran at the sand-anchor, despite the hard> j ness of the wood, was worn fully half an inch deep during 30 minutes of use. Within those SO minutes, however, the five men were safely land- ed, the lasi man getting out of the buoy at half- past two.” And so closes ihe story of that which In the department at Washington, is spoken of casually as “A night’s w r ork on the Jersey coast.” All at once it dawned npon this set tler that the bell he had fastened to the neck of the wolf was the same that had been borne by the father t>f the flock in the previous summer. The quick-eared sheep had recognized the sound of the bell and, true to their in stincts, had hastened to join their last year's companion. The result was that they found, not a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but a wolf with a sheep’s bell, ready to dine on a spring lamb. The settler did not release any more belled wolves MINOGQUA SWEPT BY SIOO,OOO FIRE Blaze Threatened Destruction of Oneida County Town. SPECIAL TRAINS RUSH AID Wausau and Tomahawk Fire Depart ments Respond to Call for Assist ance Buildmgs Burned Include Ho tel, Depot and Postoffice. Minocqua.—Fire believed to have been caused by spontaneous combus tion destroyed an entire block of large buildings here and for a time threatened to wipe out the whole vil lage. The St. Paul depot, Lakeside hotel, the largest of the town, the postoffice and several stores were burned before the flames could be brought under control. No one was killed or injured. The loss is esti ma f ed at SIOO,OOO, partly covered by insurance. It was feared for a time that the summer resort village would be com pletely destroyed and calls for assist ance were sent to Wausau and Toma hawk. The flames were under con trol by noon, however, and a mes sage was dispatched to turn back a special train speeding northward with a company of fire fighters. Minocqua is located in northern Oneida county on the Milwaukee road, twenty-six miles northwest of Rhinelander. It has a population of 8 00, which during the summer sea son is swelled to 1,500 or 2,000 by the resorters. The homes in the summer colony were not damaged. The fire was discovered in the roof of the Lakeside hotel. Fanned by strong wind the flames jumped to adjoining buildings. The fire jump ed the street and destroyed the depot and other railway buildings. The de pot was among the first buildings de stroyed and with it telegraph com munication w'as cut off.

GASOLINE CAUSES MINE EXPLOSION Residents Near Linden Shaken by Terrific Blast. FEEL THE SHOCK FOR MILES Mine Watchman Placed a Lighted Lantern Near Tank ot OO and Has to Flee for Life Glenvlle Mine a Temporary Wreck. Linden.—The country for miles around was shaken by a violent ex plosion at the Glanville mine caused by ignition af gasoline in a 300-gal lon tank from a lighted lantern. The explosion was so strong that practi cally the whole town and farms for miles around felt the shock. Homer Glanville, night watchman at the mine, set a lantern on the ground within six feet of the gaso line tank. The tank was in a wooden building together with the powder used for blasting in the mine, in an instant the gasoline had caught from the lantern, and Glanville ran for his life. The mine is a temporary wreck, the explosion creating a hole largo enough to drop a fair-sized houso into. The engine house, some dis tance away, was reduced to kindling wood. The shock was so severe, that peo ple were thrown out of their beds, and in some places it was feared that houses would fall from their founda tions.

Checkers’ Singing Enchants a Farmer’s Family. ENGAGED AS VOCAL TEACHER He Leads an Idyllic Life, Instructing the Three Daughters Until He Makes the Acquaintance of Their Three Husky Suitors. By M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.] I HAD taken to the highway to pass a railroad bridge and was singing “Old Black Joe” as I rest ed for a bit when a farmer came along with his team and halted to lis ten. I gave him the notes and words over again, and when I had finished with a high G that made his horses dance he called out; “Say, now, that’s singing! It haln’t yawping and howling, but real old fashioned singing, such as our mothers used to do.” “Oh, I duano.” 1 says in my shy and modest way. “But I do. and I want you. I’d Hith er have found yon than a ten dollar bill. Hain’t got no engagement on hand at present. 1 hope?" “Nothing pressing. I've got to get into Cleveland some day. but I don’t “WHAT YOU OOT IN THAT PASSEU think they are out with a brass band waiting for me.” “Then climb in and come along. By George, but that was singing! A little more and you’d had me weeping,” “If you ain’t a constable and ain’t going to take me to jail, what does all this commotion mean?” I asked. Wanted a Vocal Teacher. “Why, I thought I told you long ago I'm a farmer. Got three gals—Ann, Susan and Manner. Them gals is no tater peelers. Been to school and know all about everything. They can play a parlor organ In a way to melt your heart one minute and make you dance the next. I’m mighty proud over ’em. They lack jest one thing to put ’em on the top shelf.” “The tour of Europe?" I asked. “No. sir. They’ve got voices on to ’em, but they can’t sing. The voices has got to be trained, cultivated—hoed and tended like so many hills of corn —and you are the man to do the job.” “But. man. I’m a hobo.” “You Jest think you are.” he replied with a wink. "You are some rich man’s son out on the road in search of ad venture. That makes the case all the romantlcker. Got a singer there now, but he used to be a clock tinker, and the gals know it. Going to throw him out and put you in. No hogs to feed, no cows to milk, no getting up afore day light. You just learn the gals to sing. Got some duds in that bundle of yours?” “A few.” “Waal, you are Professor Delalney. You say nothing of the hobo business, and I’ll attend to the throwing out of hints. We’ll fix about the pay later on. Say. sing that song over agin. It’s bettern’n a mince pie right out of the oven.” This time I knew that 1 was singing for a soft job. and I put in all the fer vor and quavers and twists and dodges I could. It was a success. When the song was ended the farmer raised a hand and brought It down with a thump and exclaimed: Better Than "the Swan of Avon." “By the great jingo, but Shakespeare can't beat it!” “But he’s dead, you know.” “So? I didn’t see anything in my county paper about it, bat I reckon you know,” “And he was no singer.” “So? Waal. I heard the gals talking about him, but mebbe I misunderstood. At any rate, the clock tinker has got to hike. I won’t be three minutes throw ing him out. It’s about a mile to the farm yet, and you kinder keep hum ming that song as we go along. I hain’t had anything soften me up like that since I lost a lawsuit and had to pay my lawyer $60.” We drove directly to the barn when we arrived at the farm, and 1 put on my rubber collar and made other changes and was taken in and intro duced. He went In first by five min utes, and he got off that yarn about Professor Delainey and a rich man’s eon. I knew he had. because when he came out he winked at me and poked me in the ribs and said: “All three of the gals are ready to fall in love with you, but don’t neglect the singing.” Ann, Susan and Manner. Where’d he get ’em! And there were the old woman and a cross eyed cat! A Promising Beginning. Three bows three handshakes three simpers—three giggles—three tit ters —all from the girls. “Howdy?” from the mother. The tinker man had taken the alarm and fled. He must have had some thing preying on his conscience. After supper 1 sang that same “Old Black Joe,” and Susan picked out the chords on the organ. It went like a runaway horse. I was '’ailed before the curtain five times. I then rendered “My Old Cabin Home” and “Annie Laurie,” and even Caruso might have felt proud of the sensation created. “Classical!” “The real thing!” “Beats sliding down hill on the Fourth of July!” “Say, paw. there are no flies on him!” The above were a few of the com ments flying around when I ceased my strains, and I think we all went to bed happy after a brief talk about some of the old masters, in which It was generally agreed that they didn’t amount to shucks compared to my new school. Business opened the next morning with old Joseph, the colored man. In the lead again and closed with “The Old Folks at Home.” Then we went out on the veranda, and I told the girls how my rich and cruel father had first driven me to drink and then away from a home filled with mgs from Bagdad because I had refused to marry a girl with her mouth all puck ered up as If she had a pickle In it. His Own Press Agent. I lied like a son of a gun, but the object was a meritorious one. Every new singer out on the public helps to make mankind the happier by soften ing hearts, and here was a chance to turn three out in a heap. Those girls pitied and sympathized with me. They shed tears and pulled their noses. The mother said It did heat all what human hyenas there were In.this world, and the farmer gave me n sly wink and slapped his leg and exclaimed: “By Jingo. I'd like to meet that father and tell him what I think of him! It might do him good!” Two days later I was engaged to all three of the girls—that Is. I thought I was. A hobo can interpret certain gig gles and glances as well as a young man living on Fifth avenue. “I hain’t the slightest objection to the googoo business,” said the father as he took me out to the barn, “but don’t neglect the singing. Singing comes first and matrimony next. Makes it more romanticker for gals to be In love, and 1 shan’t say a word to stop ’em.” We were a happy family for a week. Song, laughter, love and romance —then the shadow fell. A Bolt From the Blue. No one in that family had warned me that each of those three girls had a beau In the village and that the trio drove out every Sunday evening to court. In an innocent and lamblike way I was standing by the gate when the cavaliers drove up. They had heard of me. They had It In for me. With wild and savage whoops they leaped from the vehicle upon me. and in two minutes 1 was a licked man and fleeing into the dusk of the falling night. In which direction? There was only one for me to take. It was back to the railroad tracks and away from the meanness and machinations of human ity. I had left a soft job, boiled dinners, romance, behind me. but as I felt the ties under my feet once more my glee wms so great that I involuntarily broke into song, and that song was “Old Black Joe” and put the whippoorwills to shame.

Luke vi, 39-49 —June 9. “Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”—James i, it. CUE TEACHER in to day’s JA>son emphasizes the necessity of knowledge and of a faith built thereupon. The blind leading the blind represent the ignorant leading the ignorant into dif ficulties. The destination sought by the Jews was fellowship with and relationship to God—His highest favor, mentioned to Abraham, saying. “In thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be bless ed.” St. Paul says of that promise, “Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh. but the e'ection hath ob tained it and the rest were blinded.” The entire Jewish race was blinded and turned aside and fell into the pit— into confusion, darkness, separation from God. This was the very matter against w T hich Jesus forewarned them. How important that God’s people rec ognize the true Leader. Jesus, and heed not the voice of others! Alas! we find that many of the great and wise of the principal pulpits of the world are undermining faith by telling that the Bi ble is not Divinely inspired, that Moses and the Prophets did not write the '"r 1 1 books ascribed to Ii yX Jl them, and hence in- V_ Jr directly saying that A I Jesus and the Apos- (J ties w r ere deceived IJ\ when they made quotations from the cast out first the Old Testament and beam”— ascribed them to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Moses, Habakkuk, etc. These great men style themselves Higher Critics and endorse the theory that humanity is undergoing a process of evolution from monkey-likeness up to God-likeness. They are thus Indi rectly telling their people that there was no fall from God’s image and like ness, that there was no sin committed, no sentence for sin, no Redeemer from sin and Its sentence and that Restitu tion is not to be hoped for.—Acts lii, 19-21. Humility a Character Foundation. The parable of a man with a beam In his eye trying to pick a mote out of his brother’s eye was a forceful meth od whereby the Master inculcated the necessity of humility. Humility is a foundation virtue. The Latin word for humility is humus, ground. This Implies that it is the soil out of which other virtues are produced. Those who think they know everything can learn nothing. How beautiful It is to realize that Jesus was humble and that all the holy angels are so! Grapes Off a Bramble Bush. While the Scriptures forbid God’s people to judge one another, they do commend to us another kind of judg ing. While not condemning the heart we are to judge of the outward con duct The parable which our Lord in this lesson gives respecting the gath ering of grapes from bramble bushes illustrates this point. God’s people are likened to the grape-vine, which pro duces no thorns but luscious clusters of fruit Mankind in general are lik ened to bramble bushes, ready to in jure, on the slightest provocation, and are merely self-sustaining. We are to distinguish between such characters and God’s people: “By their fruits shall ye know them.” It is said that at times a bramble bush Is entirely covered by a vine so that the grapes appear to be coming from the bush. However, we are not to be mistaken. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruitage, neither can an injurious tree bring forth good fruitage. The lesson is that those who are really God’s people must be fruit bearing else they are none of His. It Is therefore useless for any man to tell us that he has given his heart to the Lord in ful ness of consecration and that he has re ceived the sanctify ing influences of the Holy Spirit and yet fiud him rejoicing in sin, taking pleas ure in iniquity, in justice, selfishness and a course of life juesir-esvrigf injurious to his “The ruin of that neighbors. If his house teas great.” heart be changed the results will be manifest in his dai ly life, because “out cf the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” The House on the Rock. This parable illustrates two classes of believers. Both hear the Great Teacher’s instructions and believe and rear faith structures and entertain heavenly hopes. But the one is more prudent than the other. One seeks for the doctrines and principles of the Di vine Word, and builds his faith struc ture thereupon. His faith, therefore, cannot fail whatever storms may as sail. The unwise believer builds upon the traditions of the elders, the creeds of the Dark Ages, etc. He fails to ap preciate the necessity for having a proper foundation for faith and works. In the time of stress with which this Age will eud all such will find the foundation swept away: they will thereby suffer great loss, thougn they themselves may be saved, as by fire— tribulation.—l Corinthians ML 13-15.
