The attend ance was the largest, by far, of any per formance given here thus far this sea son and, naturally, was quite encourag ing to the management. Every part in the cast was well rendered, the leading part being exceptionally well rendered. The lessons taught are such as improve the standard of womanhood and man hood and those who were present could not help but feel the good influences as portrayed by the author and executed by the able members of the company. The evils of divorce are ideally depicted and proves to high-minded and Christian people that :he evil of divorce is on a par only with malicious murder.

Mrs. Keziah Coffin, Huppoß*an iela, leader of the Regular church offers Keziah a place as housekeeper for the new minister, and she decides to remain Jn Trumet. CHAPTER 111. In Which Keziah Assumes a Guardian ship. Grace left the parsonage soon after the supposed tramp disclosed his identity. Her farewells w r ere hurried and she firmly refused Mrs. Coffin’s not too-lnsistent appeal to return to the house “up street” and have sup per. She said she was glad to meet Mr. Ellery. The young minister af firmed his delight in meeting her. Then she disappeared in the misty twilight and John Ellery surreptitious ly wiped his perspiring forehead with his cuff, having in his late desire for the primal necessities forgotten such a trifling incidental as a handkerchief. The minister smiled rather one sid ed ly. “It’s been something of a day for me,” he said. "I am ahead of time and I’ve made a lot of trouble. I’m afraid. But yesterday afternoon 1 was ready and, to tell the truth, I was eager to come and see my new home and get at my work. So I started on the morning train. Then the stage broke down and I began to think I was stranded at Bayport. But this kind-hearted chap from Wellmouth —I believe that’s where he lived —hap- pened to pull up to watch us wrest ling with the smashed wheel, and when he found I was in a hurry to get to Trumet, offered to give me a lift. His name was—was Bird, No, that wasn't it, but it was something like Bird, or some kind of a bird.” “Bird?” repeated Keziah thought fully. “There’s no Birds that I know of In Wellmouth. Hum! Hey? ‘Twa'n’t Sparrow, was It?” “That was it Sparrow.” “Good land! Emulous Sparrow Run considerable to whiskers and tongue, didn’t he?” “Why, yes; he did wear a beard. As for tongue—well, he was conversa tional, if that’s what you mean.” “That’s what I mean. If you rode twelve mile with Emulous, you must bave had an earache for the last six. Did he ask a question or two about your personal affairs, here and there between times?” Mr. Ellery laughed. “Yes, one or two, between limes.” he admitted. “I shan’t die of surprise. Did you tell him who you was?” “No-o, to be honest, I didn’t. He was so very anxious to find out, that —well, I dodged. I think he believed I was going to visit Captain Daniels. Still, someone may have Seen me come here.” “No, no, they didn’t. This fog is as thick as Injun-meal puddin’. Nobody saw you.” “Well,” with some hesitation, “the young lady who was here with you—” “Oh, Grace Van Horne! She’s all right. She won’t tell. She ain’t that kind.” “Van Horne? That doesn’t sound like a New England name.” ’Tisn’t. Her fcdks come from Jer sey somewheres. But she was adopt ed by old Cap’n Hammond, who keeps the tavern down on the bay shore by the packet wharf, and she’s lived in Trumet since she was six years old. Her father was Teunls Van Horne, mid he was mate on Cap’n Eben’s coastin’ schooner and was drowned off Hatteras. Eben was saved Just by the skin of his teeth and got a broken hip and religion while It happened. His hip’s better except that he’s some lame; hut his religion’s been more and more feverish ever since. He’s one of the head Come-Outers, and built their chapel with his own money. You mustn’t think I’m speakin’ light ly of religion, nor of Cap’n Eben, ei ther. He’s a dear good soul as ever was, but he Is the narrowest kind of Come-Outer. His creed is just about as wide as the chapel door, and that’s ns narrow as the way loadin’ to sal vation; it is the way. too, so the Come- Outers think.” “What are Come-Outers? Some new eect “Sakes alive! Haven’t you heard of Come-Outers? Cat’s foot! Well, you’ll hear of ’em often enough from now' on. They’re folks who used to go to our church, the Regular, but left because the services was too worldly, with organs and choir slng ln’, and the road to paradise too easy. No need for me to tell you any more. You’ll learn.” Mr. Ellery was interested. He had been in Trumet but once before, on the occasion when he preached his trial sermon, and of that memorable visit remembered little except the ser mon itself, the pews filled with cap tains and their families, and the awe inspiring personality of Captain El kanah Daniels, who had been his host. To a young man, the ink upon his di ploma from the theological school still fresh, a trial sermon is a weighty mat ter, and the preaching of it weightier still. He had rehearsed it over and over in private, had delivered it al most through clinched teeth, and had returned to his room in the Boston boarding house with the conviction that it wms an utter failure. Captain Elkanah and the gracious Miss Anna bel, his daughter, had been kind enough to express gratification, and their praise alone saved him from de spair. Then, to his amazement, the call had come. Of casual conversa tion at the church and about the Dan iels' table he could recall nothing. So there w r as another religious organlza- I tion in town and that made up of seceders from his own church. He was surprised. “Er—this Miss Van Horne?” he asked. “Is she a—Come-Outer?” Mrs. Coffin nodded. “Yes/* she said. “She’s one. Couldn’t be anything else and live with her Uncle Eben, as she calls him.” “Has Captain Hammond no children of his own?” he asked. Keziah’s answer was short for her. “Yes,” she said. ’’One.” “Ah! another daughter?” “No, a son. Name’s Nathaniel, and he’s a sea captain. He’s on his way from Surinam to New York now They expect him to make port moat any time, I believe. Now. Mr. Ellery, I s’pose we’ve got to arrange for your supper and stayin’ overnight; and with this house the way ’tis and all, I don’t see— “l guess,” ruminatlvely, “that the best thing for you to do will be to go to Cap’n Elkauah’s. They’ll be real glad to see you, I know, and you’ll be in time for supper, for Elkanah and Annabel have been to Denhro and they’ll be late home. They can keep you overnight, too, for it’s a big house w’ith lots of rooms. Then, after break fast to-morrow you come right here. I’ll have things somewhere near ship shape by then, I guess, though the eleanin’ll have to be mainly a lick and a promise until I can really get at it. Yoar trunk’ll be here on the coach, I s’pose, and that’ll be through early in the afternoon. Get on your hat and coat and I’ll go with you to El kanah’s.” The young man demurred a little at thrusting himself upon the hospitality of the Daniels’ home, but Keziah as sured him that his unexpected coming would cause no trouble. So he wa tered the now dark study and came out wearing his coat and carrying his hat and valise in his hand. “I’m sure I’m ever so much obliged to you,” he said. “And, as we are go ing to be more or less together—or at least I guess as much from what you say—would you mind if I suggest a mutual introduction. I’m John El lery; you know that already. And you—” Keziah stopped short on her way to the door. “Well, I declare!” she exclaimed. “If that ain’t the very worst! Fact is, you dropped in so ahead of time and in such a irregular sort of way, that I never once thought of introducin’ anybody; and I’m sure Grace didn’t. I’m Keziah Coffin, and Cap’n Elkanah and I signed articles, so to speak, this mornin’, and I’m goin’ to keep house for you.” She explained the reason for upset ting the former arrangement by which Luranla Phelps was to have had the position. At the Daniels’ door Keziah turned her new charge over to Matilda Snow', (he hired girl. It was an indication of the family’s social position that they kept “hired help.” This was unusual in Trumet In those days, even among the well to do. “Good night,” said the young man, extending his hand. “Good night. Miss —or is it Mrs. —Coffin?” “Mrs. Good night.” “She's a widow.” explained Matilda. “Husband died ’fore she come back here to live. Guess he didn’t amount to much; she never mentions his name.” Keziah, in the midst of her labors, found time to coach her employer and companion in Trumet ways, and par ticularly in the ways which Trumet expected its clergymen to travel. On “There’s Your Chart” the morning following his first night in the parsonage, he expressed him self as feeling the need of exercise. He thought he should take a walk. “Well,” said his housekeeper from her station opposite him at the break fast table, “if I was you I wouldn’t take too long a one. You’d better be back here by ten. anyhow. Where was you thinkin’ of goin’?” Mr. Ellery had no particular desti nation in mind. He would like to see something of the village and, perhaps, if she could give him the names of a few of his parishioners, he might make a few calls. Keziah shook her head. “Gracious goodness I” she exclaimed. "I wouldn’t advise you to do that. You ain’t been here long enough to make forenoon calls. If you should catch some of the women in this town with aprons and calico on, they’d never forgive you in this world. Wait till afternoon; they’ll be expectin’ you then and they’ll be rigged out in their best bibs and tuckers. S’pose you found Annabel Daniels with her hair done up in c.trl papers; what do -von think would happen? Mornin's are no time for ministers’ calls. Even old Mr. Langley never made calls iu the forenoon—and he’d been here thirty odd years.” “Ail right, you know best. Much obliged for the advice. Then I’ll sim ply take my walk and leave the calls until later.” “I’d be back by ten, though. Folks’ll begin callin’ on you by that time.” When, promptly at ten o’clock, the minister returned from his w'alk, he found Mrs. Rogers waiting in the sit ting room. It is a prime qualification of an alert reporter to be first on the scene of sensation. Didama was sel dom beaten. Mr. Ellery’s catechism began. Before It was over Keziah opened the door to admit Miss Pepper and her brother. "Kyan" was nervous and embarrassed in the housekeeper’s presence. Lavinia was a glacier, mov ing majestically and freezing as it moved. Keziah, however, tvas not even touched by the frost; she greet ed the pair cordially, and begged them to “take off their things.” It was dinner time before the cate chizers departed. The catechized came to the table with an Impaired appe tite. He looked troubled. “Don’t let it worry you, Mr. Ellery,” observed Keziah calmly. “I think I can satisfy you. Honest and true, I ain’t half as bad as you might think.” The minister looked more troubled than before; also surprised. “Why, Mrs. Coffin!” he cried. “Could you hear—” “Man alive! I’m not worried. Why should you be? We were talkin’ about trust just now—or I was. Well, you and I’ll have to take each other on trust for a while, until we see whether we’re goin’ to suit. If you see any thing that I’m goin* wrong in, I wish you’d tell me. And I’ll do the same by you, if that’s agreeable. You’ll hear a lot of things said about me, but if they’re very bad I give you my word they ain’t true. And, to be real frank. I’ll probably hear some about you. which I’ll take for what they’re worth and considerin’ who said ’em. That’s a good, wholesome agreement, I think, for both of us. What do you think?” John Ellery said, with emphasis that he thought w r ell of it. He began to realize that this woman, with her blunt common sense, was likely to be a pilot worth having in the difficult waters which he must navigate as skipper of the Regular church In Tru met. Also, he began to realize that, as such a skipper, he was most in experienced. And Captain Daniels had spoken highly—condescendingly but highly—of his housekeeper’s quali fications and personality. So the agreement was ratified, with relief on hie part. The first Sunday came and with it the first sermon. He read that sermon to Keziah on Saturday evening and she approved of it as a whole, though she criticised some of its details. The service began at eleven o’clock. Outside the spring breeze stirred the budding sllver-leafs, the distant break ers grumbled, the crows in the pines near Captain Eben Hammond’s tavern cawed ribald answ'ers to the scream ing gulls perched along the top of the breakwater. And seated on on© of the hard benches of the little Come- Outer chapel, Grace Van Horne heard her “Uncle Eben,” who, as usual, wms conducting the meeting, speak of “them who, in purple and fine linen, with organs and trumpets and vain show's, are gathered elsewhere in this community to hear a hired priest make a mock of the gospel!” (A-men!) But John Ellery, the “hired priest,” knew nothing of this. He did know, however, that he w r as the center of interest for his own congregation, the people among whom he had been called to labor. Their praise or criti cism meant everything to him; there fore he preached for dear life. The sermon was a success. On Monday afternoon the minister made a few' calls. Keziah made out a short list for him to follow', a “sort of chart of the main channel,” she called it, “with the safe ports marked and the shoals and risky places la beled dangerous.” “You see,” she said, “Truraet ain’t a course you can navigate with your eyes shut. We divide ourselves into about four sets —aristocrats, poor re lations, town folks, and scum. The aristocrats are the big bugs like Cap’n Elkanah and the other w r e!l-off sea captains afloat and ashore. They ’most all go to the Regular church and the parish committee is steered by ’em. The poor relations are mainly widows and such, whose husbands died or were lost at sea. Most of them are Regulars. The town folks are those that stay ashore and keep store or run salt works or somethin’. And the scum w'ork around on odd jobs or go fishin’. So, if you really w'ant to be safe, you must call on the aristocrats first, after that on the poor relations, and so on down. You won’t be bothered with scum much; they’re mainly Come-Outers.” Ellery took the list from her hand and looked it over. “Hum!” he said musingly. “Am I supposed to recognize these—er— class distinctions? But you’re not se riously advising me to treat a rich man differently from a poor one?” “Not openly different—no. But If you want to steer a perfectly safe course, one that'll keep the deep water under your keel the whole voyage, why, there’s your chart.” Mr. Ellery promptly tore the “chart” into small pieces. “I’m going out,” he said. “I shall be back by supper time.” Mrs. Collin eyed him grimly. “Coin’ to run it blindfolded, are you?” she asked. “Yes. I am.” Her grimness disappeared and she smiled. “I’ll have your supper ready for you,” she said. “Bring back a good ap petite.” Asa matter of fact, the minister’s calls were in the nature of a compro mise, although an unintentional one. He dropped in on Zebedee Mayo, own er of the big house on the slope of the hill. Captain Zeb took him up into what he called his “cupoler,” the ob servatory on the top of the house, and showed him Trumet spread out like a map. Ellery decided that he should like Captain Zeb, although it was evi dent that the old whaler had decided opinions of h s own which he did not hesitate to express. He judged that the Mayos were of the so-called aria tocracy, but undoubtedly unique r.p*<& mens. He visited four more bouse holds that afternoon. The last call was at Mrs. Thankful Payne’s, and while there, listening to the wonderful “poem,” he saw Miss Van Horne pass the window. He came home to a Cape Cod supper of scalloped clams, hot biscuits, and baked Indian pudding, and Keziah greeted him with a cheery smile which made him feel that it was home. His summary disposal of the “chart” had evidently raised him in his housekeeper’s estimation. She not ask a single question as to where he had been. Next day he had a taste of Trn met’s real aristocracy, the genuine ar ticle. Captain Elkanah Daniels and his daughter made their first formal call. The captain was majestic in high hat, fur-collared cape, tailed coat, and carrying a gold-headed cane. Miss Annabel wore her newest gown and bonnet and rustled as she walked They entered the sitting room and the lady glanced superciliously about the apartment. “Hum—ha!" barked Captain Elka nah. “Ahem! Mr. Ellery, I trust you’re being made comfortable. The parish committee are —hum—oh— anxious that you should be. Yes?” The minister said that he wai vjry comfortable indeed. “It isn’t what you’ve been used to, we know,” observed Miss Annabel. “Mr. Langley, our former pastor, was a sweet old gentleman, but he was old-fashioned and his tas<es were queer, especially in art. Have you noticed that ‘fruit piece’ in the dining room? Isn’t it too ridiculous?” Then she changed the subject to church and parish affairs. They spoke of the sewing circle and the reading society and the Friday-evening meet ings. “The Come-Outers are so vexed with us,” tittered Miss Annabel, “that they won’t even hold prayer meetings on the same night as ours. They have theirs on Thursday nights and it’s Captain Elkanah Daniels and Hi Daughter Made Their First Forma! Call. as good as a play to hear them shout and sing and carry on. You’ll enjoy the Come-Outers, Mr. Ellery. They’re a perfect delight." And as they rose .o go Captain El kanah askect: “Is there anything you’d like done about the parsonage, Mr. Ellery? If so, it shall be done immejltly. How are you satisfied with your house keeper?” “Very well, indeed. Captain Dan iels,” was the prompt reply. “She's a character, isn’t she?” gig gled Annabel. “She was born here in Trumet, but went away to New Bed ford when she was young and grew up there. Her maiden name was Hall, but while she was away she married I a man named Ansel Coffin. They i didn’t live together very long and weren’t happy, I guess. I don’t know whose fault it was, nobody knows much of anything about it, for that’s the one thing she won’t talk about. Anyhow, the Coffin man was lost at sea, and after a while she came back to keep house for her brother Solo mon. She’s an awful odd stick, but she’s a good cook, I believe; though i I’m afraid you won’t get the meals j people such as ourselves, who’ve been so much in the city, are used to.” Ellery thought of the meals at his city boarding house and shuddered. He was an orphan and had boarded for 3'ears. Incidentally, he had worked his way through college. Captain El kanah cleared his throat. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Live and Learn. Dr. Sophia Jex-Blake, whose per sistent efforts finally brought about the admission of women to the prac tice of medicine in England, remained wittily unimpressed by the bestowal of this privilege. As the Saturday Review has It: “It was absurd," she said, “to keep the door longer shut against young women, seeing how r many old women were already inside.” Of a tireless eloquence, Doctor Jex- Blake once drew the incisive wdt of Benjamin Jowett. The Master of Bal llol had sat next to her at dinner, and after the ladies retired, he remarked, in his mild, high-pitched voice: “I always knew that lex meant law, but never till this night that Jex meant jaw."—Youth’s Companion. Limit of the Borrowing Habit. Little Margie was a frequent visitor at the Jones home, going there on er rands of borrowing many times each day. On this occasion she asked the loan of a cooking utensil. But Mrs. Jones had become very much out of patience at the continual borrowing and sent word by Margie that she “had other fish to fry.” Imagine her surprise when In a few moments her neighbor's little Margie again appeared In her doorway, lisp ing; “Mozzer thaid pleathe to thend thome of the fith. pleathe.” Pedestrians. A teacher in a primary school wae endeavoring to make clear to her class the meaning of the words “equestrianism" and “pedestrianism when she put this query to one small boy: “What is a pedestrian?” “H* is one of those fellows," said the boy, “who makes an awTul kick when an automobile runs him down. MACARONI AND CHEESE 4 DISH NOT SERVED AS OFTEN AS IT DESERVES. Excellent for Luncheon or for the Evening Meal Without Meat—ltal ian Method of Preparation Somewhat Too Rich. Macaroni v/3th cheese is the most usual combination. This is a dish suf ficiently nourishing to be served for luncheon or for an evening meal with out meat. It is too heavy to be served with other starchy vegetables, as po tatoes or beans. The foreign way of cocking macaroni is to boil about twenty minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan with enough gravy or rich soup stock to nearly cover. Al low this to simmer until the gravy has been absorbed. Prepare a cupful of grated Parmesan and other cheese mixed. Put one-half with the maca roni until the cheese Is melted. Add the remainder and a good-sized lump of butter. Stir the macaroni around in the pan In one direction until the cheese Is thoroughly melted. Serve hot. Americans, preferring a less rich dish, simply boll the macaroni, urain and put it back into the saucepan with grated cheese. It is served when the cheese is melted, but not hardened. We call this macaroni au gratln, but au gratin dishes proper are scalloped ones including bread or cracker crumbs as well as cheese. Baked Macaroni and Cheese. —Take about one-half as much macaroni as will fill the baking dish. Break into short pieces and boil for twenty min utes in salted water. Drain. Put into a baking dish with butter, salt and a quantity of cheese. Cover with milk and bake until the milk is absorbed and it is brown on top. Cheese canapes are small slices of bread fried in a little butter until golden brown. Then they are covered with grated cheese, seasoned with salt and pepper and placed in the oven to soften the cheese. Some add a little French mustard to the cheese to give it piquancy. Cottage cheese Is becoming more and more popular for salads at dainty affairs. It lends itself to any decora tive scheme so nicely, it is delicious and cooling to the palate. The sim plest way to arrange this salad is to moisten mth French dressing and make it info balls or egg-shape and ar range in crisp lettuce leaves. With a little green vegetable coloring ex tract the balls of cheese may be deli cately tinted to resemble birds’ eggs. Cottage cheese lends Itself to many combinations of chopped nuts, chopped olives, green or red peppers. It will mix with French dressing or mayon naise and can be molded into any de sired shape. It is a nice accompani ment to a fruit salad or is a salad in itself. Noodles With Ham. Grease a pudding dish well with fat or butter, place in the dish a layer of ham choped very fine, then one of cooked noodles until the dish is full, having for the top a layer of bam. Then pour a cupful of cream .over It Bake in the oven for thirty minutes. To make the noodles for the above, break one egg into a bowl and stir in enough sifted flour to make a stiff dough and add one-quarter teaspoon ful of salt. Knead it until It is dry. Divide It Into two pieces, roll each piece until very thin and let them dry on a cloth. When dry roll them up like a jelly roll and slice into pieces one-half inch wide. Then unroll them and let dry. These can be kept for some time in a covered bottle. I? they are wanted for soup they must be cut very fine. Russian Steak Puddirrg. A rather stiff paste of two pounds of flour, one and a quarter pounds chopped fat of kidney of beef, and one-quarter pint of water is made. When mixed, this is rolled out to a round layer, a quarter-inch thick and put in a buttered pudding dish. The lean beef is cut in pieces and arrang ed in the basin in layers. Cover with water, and put layer of paste over top. The seasoning must be carefully done, salt, red pepper, butter and a curious Russian spice is used by the dancer. Wrap the pudding dish in a buttered cloth and place it in a saucepan of boiling water. Cook it for three hours if the beef is tender, and for four hours If not. Preserved Quinces. Wipe the fruit and pare and cut in quarters. Be sure and cut out all hard parts of core. Put all seeds, cores and parings into kettle, cover with cold water and simmer until they are cooked so the goodness is all in the water. Strain them out to throw away and use the water for your sirup. Weigh the fruit and use pound for pound. Put the sugar with your sirup, and put the quinces in a steam er and stesm until they are about half cooked, then put them in your sirup and cook until dark garnet, thick and rich. To Cleanse Wooden To take the woody taste out of new wooden pails fill the pail with boiling water till It is well scalded and let re main till it grows cold. Then empty it, dissolve some lumps of washing soda In lukewarm water, adding a lit tle lime to it, and thoroughly wash the inside of the pail with the solu tion, again scald and rinse well and dry before using and you will hav no more trouble with the woody” taste of water contained in it. Baked Squash. Put a layer of thick slices of sum mer squash into a baking dish which has been nicely buttered, then salt and peper and dot over with pieces of butter and continue layers until the dish is fall. Cover and bake two and hours. Carmelized Peaches. Peel six peaches, put Into the oven, cover with three tablespoonsful sugar and just enough water to keep them from burning. Cook for five or six hours in a slow even. NAMED THE FIRST REQUISITE Bright Boy May Have Lacked Orig inality, but He Surely Had Correct Answer. “This brave man, beloved by all France, was then buried with full military honors,” a Baltimore boy read from the lesson, when his name had been called What are ‘military honors’ in this connection?” the teacher asked, and several boys seemed to be possessed of the right idea. And what must one bo to receive such honors?” was the next question "A general?” ‘A hero?” “A cap tain?” were a few of the tentative re plies. Only the “bright boy” of the rlass remained silent. Have you no answer, James?" the teacher suggested, ‘what must one bo?” “Why, I should say dead. Miss Mary,” was the reply. FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS Atchison, Kan. —“For a number of years I suffered very greatly from skin eruption. My face was very red and irritated, being almost, covered with pimples and blackheads. The pimples were scattered over my face. They were a line rash with the exception of a few large pimples on my forehead and chin. My face burned and looked red as if exposed to either heat or cold. It was not only unsightly but very uncomfortable. I tried several remedies but couldn’t get any relief. was recommended to use Cuticura and Cuticura Ointment. “I applied the Cuticura Ointment In ♦he evening, leaving it for about five minutes, then washing it off with Cuticura Soap and hot water.

A certain mother, given to mysti cism and impressive theories regard ing her highly natural children, one evening was entertaining visitors. Suddenly came the sound of little feet pattering to the head of the stairs The mother raised her hand in solemn warning. “Listen,” she said, softly. “The chil dren are going to deliver their good night message. It always gives me a feeling of reverence to hear them they are so much nearer the Creator than we are. and they speak so won derfully, sometimes. Hush! One of them is speaking now.” Then, breaking through the tense si lence, came a shrill whisper: “Mamma! Willy’s found a bug in his bed.” Final and Fatal Question, Bobby was in an especially trying mood, and had asked so many ques tions as to bring upon himself stern parental command to be silent. By and by, however, he so humbly solicit ed permission to speak that this was reluctantly granted.

V A. j TGAT dades Palace of Lisbon for a comparatively irod est dwelling at Richmond, she and the duchess met. Between the two women, each well ac quainted with the other’s misfortunes, a mutual liking sprang up. During their confab the duchess told her royal listener that trying to shoulder other people’s troubles had enabled her to banish her own from her mind. Queen Amelia was rather struck with this idea and was not long in putting it into prac tice. Apparently, the duchess’ scheme has made good. At any rate, the queen has given it a good trial, for hardly a week has passed that she has not visited a hospital, opened a bazar or some thing of the sort. Quite recently she went to the Crystal Palace and, on behalf of the R. S. P. C. A., presented the prizes won by children for essays written on kindness to animals. She is a regular visitor at the Richmond hospital and the Roman Catholic hospital of Saint Elizabeth and Saint John in Saint John’s Wood. During one of her visits she was taken to see the baby of the hos pital, a pretty little girl six years old and a great pet with everybody. The queen kissed the child, and after talking to her for a little while, dis covered that something was worrying her. So she asked the reason and found that a bunch of lilies that had been ordered from the florist for the baby to present to her had not arrived. “Poor little mile,” said the queen, “that’s too bad. Never mind, if you will send them to me at Richmond, I will promise to wear them at din ner tonight.” LOUIS HYDE. ON THE WAY TO LHASA Just ten years ago a woman clothed in rags— dirty, tanned, almost black by exposure and at death’s door with fatigue—staggered to the court yard of the China Inland Mission house at Ta chlenlu, writes Ruth Neely in the Living Church. When strength enough for speech returned she told her story. It was Dr. Susie Carsons Rljn hart, the first woman missionary who ever pene trated the wilds of Tibet and returned to tell the story. All the world knows the wonderful history of the woman’s homeward Journey of 1.500 miles, unprotected and alone, from the interior, near the outskirts of Lhasa, where she buried her baby beneath a stone on the mountain side and where her husband was later captured by hostile natives and murdered Since that time only one group of foreigners has penetrated interior Tibet. This was the band of Englishmen who reached and invaded the sacred city under the command of Colonel Younghusband. Since the unsuccessful ending of that expedition Lhasa and interior Tibet have again been closed to the outside world, a derful region whose mysteries have been guarded church and with the nether world. He has seen the greater and the lesser wheels of administrative machinery in motion. He has learned how to reach that supreme potentate, the police ser geant, behind his desk, and how to un ravel and knit together the varying tales of bystanders. The streets of the city are known to him. bared in the gray mom when the vast commissary of a great city Is converging on the markets, thronged by the rising and ebbing tides of those who go to their work and return from it jostling in the crowded hours, sud denly emptying in mideve as the tide sweep strips the estuary of Its water, and full again when the theaters empty. He knows the streets of danger full of news and the streets of safety full of newspaper readers, comfort clogged. He comes to have an instinct as to the trail of news, and he discovers, as perhaps no other man does, how of as the holy of holies and ns the Impenetrable sanctuary of the mysterious east. But It is not to remain so. When, in 1901, Dr. Rijnhart returned to her chosen field, northwest ern China, she took with her two missionaries of the Foreign Missionary society. Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Shelton. With them she established an other mission in Tachienlu, of which Dr. Shelton and his wife took charge on the death of the famous woman missionary a year ago. Later it was given over to other hands, for Dr. Shelton and his wife resolved to emulate the example of the Rljnharts, and If it be in human power they Intend to penetrate interior Tibet and to establish a Christian mission in Lhasa, the very shrine of Buddha, where no foreigner has ever been permitted peacefully to enter and where none has ever dwelt. With their baby girls, Doris, three years old. and Dorothy, seven, the two missionaries set out from Tachienlu last fall on their arduous and dangerous journey. They have now arrived at Batang, about a month’s journey from Lhasa, ■whence they have sent to this country the most remarkable collection of Tibetan photographs ever secured. The mission station is near the lamasary at Batang, which houses 3,000 lamas or Buddhist priests, and Is one of the five great monasteries of Tibet. The western theosophisfs cherished ideal of this life, pure spirit and lofty contemplation, is hardly borne out by the description of the Bud dhist lamas, as seen in every-day life, by the Sheltons. To begin with, like all Tibetans, they are inordinately dirty. The native of Tibet never bathes, nor is the lama an exception to this rule. They are covered with dirt and grease and exude an odor of rancid butter from the fumet; of the butter lamps that fill the temples. They are also infested with vermin, which they may not even destroy, be cause to kill even the humblest of animals is contrary to the teachings of the Buddhist religion. The wonder ful learning of the Buddhist lama is also said to be largely a product of western imagination. The worship consists largely in noisy In the proces of which guns are sometimes fired, bells ring and horns give forth deafening blasts. The Tibetan woman may not be without beauty. It is impossible to tell, since she does not wash. Men and women dress much alike, in gowns of originally bright colored cloth, fastened about the waist by green and red sashes. The bioused w-aist portion is always used as the receptacle for the tea basin, whence it is handily drawn forth at the constantly recurring hospital ity of tea drinking. Women and men wear heavy top boots. They may be distinguished by the head dress. Both sexes braid the hair into innumerable plaits, sometimes over 100. In some sections the plaits are fastened together with bright colored cloth or with a heavy felt band covered with silver* ornaments, shells and beads. A turban with a white fur brim and a red tassel hanging from the pointed crown is often worn. Women in the district of Lhasa wear for hair ornaments a silver’ halo set with turquoise—a most becoming head dress, other things being equal. The Tibetan damsel uses her braids in coquettish fashion, much as does our debutante her fan. It she is or wishes to appear confused she shakes the curtain of buttered locks over her face, forming a screen, through which she peers with artful artlessness. In some regions near remote lamaseries the women are said to daub their faces with a greasy black cosmetic lest the lamas might be tempted by their beauty, a precaution which can hardly fail to impress the traveler as rather unnecessary. Except the great caravan route, which is so thickly beset with spies that to travel it without meeting a military company sent out to turn the travelers back is impossible, the “roads” to Lhasa are narrow" mountain passes, in some places only to be traversed by climbing single file or mounted on sure-footed yaks, it is through such narrow", precipitous passes that Dr. Shelton, his wife and little ones have so far made f heir way. If as they near Lhfcsa they should take the path traveled by Dr. Rijnhart and her husband and child they will pass a big boulder beneath which lie the remains of a year-old baby, the first white child ever in Tibet. Doris and Dorothy Shelton, who have so far endured ihe journey very are the moat re markable pilgrims in the world. They are the youngest, and, if their parents accomplish the purpose to which they have consecrated their lives, Doris and Dorothy will one day romp and rollick In the somber shadows of Lhasa, the holiest city of all Asia, w'here the Dalai lama lives in his wonderful palace, a building whose immensity r.nd ornamentation baffle description, where many of the houses are literally roofed with gold, and where the dead are dismembered, then left exposed on stone slabs to be devoured by vultures or by the hogs that rummage in the sacred streets. Easy. “What do you think is the best way to abate the smoke nuisance?” “There is only one way to do that.” “What Is It?” “buy good cigars.” “Grammar is a temperamental sort of study.” “How do you make that out?” “Because It Is so controlled by its mood.” ten the intelligent, the educated, the wellbred and the advantaged are dull and hackneyed by a safe life, and how keen and swift and quick comes to he the great guerrilla horde that knows the street as its hunting ground and wins by wit and not by work. —Talcott Williams, in the Columbia University Quarterly.

JUST NOTICE HOW HE SMOKES Girl Can Tell Character of Her Admirer by the Way He Handles hi* CK}a r Girls, If you would know something of the character of your friends, watch them smoke. If Billy makes a frantic dive Into his breast pocket for his cigar, hurriedly snips the end and plunges it between his lips, viciously strikes the match and finally puffs away at it as though Father Time might get the best of him, you may be sure your fresh shirt waist will suffer at his hands with the suddenness of his mood to put his arms around you. If Ned allows the fire to die out and just pretends he is smoking; goes through the motions as it were, he will tal e your time, burn the electricity and, as an old, homely phrase has It, he will “warm your chairs” and de pend upon yon entirely for entertain ment while you grow Into an old maid In expectancy. He will float away some day with a conscience clear of having said anything—he just went through the motions. Walter is a big, good-natured fellow but his appearance Is always more or less untidy, with cigar ashes sprinkled liberally down the front of his clothes. You will be forever looking for his lost collar batons; there will always be an odd sock in the wash, and you, little gll*l, will wear wrinkles in your brow try ing to keep him as neat as other men. Now, Frank is very deliberate. He ■carefully selects bis cigar—so with his wife. He smokes slowly and gently; he will be considerate of your wishes and you can depend upon him to do the best he knows. Your coiffure will be Intact after his caresses, he is always careful, always thoughtful. He may keep you guessing, for in his reverie he sometimes forgets to smoke, but he usually remembers In time. Yes, 1 know you like Fred, but If you notice he usually takes his cigar as dessert with his meal. He consid ers cigars and wives as luxuries, ikrd If he can afford them, well and good; if not. he is willing to do without, and really tin*, cigar Stands the better show, for Mrs. Mulligan mends his clothes with the wash. If you are “setting your cap,” first watch him smoke. —Denver Repub lican. Why of a Soubriquet. The young man, having strolled with the young woman to a lovely spot be neath a vineclad tree, where a rustic bench invites them to sit and enjoy the effect of the moonlight upon the water, is just beginning a bit of sen timental conversation when she says; “Oh, Mr. Wooples! Do you know' the nickname all the girls at the hotel have for you?” “Nicknajnc? Why, I didn’t know they had given me one at all. What is it?” “Motor Boat.” “Motor Boat? But I don’t even own one.” “I know, but they say you pop all the time.” Helping the Deaf Mute. William E. Shaw of Lynn, Mass., is a deaf mute and an inventor, and he has invented a number of devices to make the lot of the deaf mute more comfortable. Among the latest de vices of this character is a telephone system for deaf mutes, which, in a few words, consists of a number of lamps on a board, each one represent ing a letter or character. These lamps are controlled by a keyboard, which is Identical with that of the typewriter.

SHERMAN LIES AT POINT OF DEATH Vice-President's Doctors Admit Condition Is Critical. MAY NOT SURVIVE A DAY Suffers From Bright’s Disease ant Greatly Weakened Heart —Family Assembled at Utica Home Awaiting End. Utica, N. Y., Oct. 30. —James S. Sherman, vice-president of the Uni ted States, is seriously ill and steadily failing at his home. His physician, Dr. Fayette H. Peck, believes there is no immediate danger of death, but the patient’s condition is such that it Is a matter of conjecture how much long er he can withstand the ravages of disease. Doctor Peck authorized this state ment cu Monday: “Mr. Sherman has been sick all this year, due to the condition of the kidneys, hardening of the arteries and softening of the muscles of the heart, which stretch somewhat. Mr. Sher man had an attack in the Adirondacks, at Hig Moose lake, and 1 expected him to die. “Since August his condition has been aggravated and he has been steadily failing. “For the last three weeks, since he came back from Connecticut, where he went to rest, he has been dressed "j "I j James S. Sherman. only once and that was a week ago Friday when, against my protest, he went out to the polls to register. “Mr. Sherman is now in the condi tion whicii that sort of trouble leads to and is very seriously ill. but there Is, I believe, no immediate danger of death.” A son of the vice-president made public this statement: “After consultation in the case of Vice-President Sherman, the diag nosis of weakened heart muscles, the result of overwork, with some kidney involvement, is confirmed. “F. H. PECK, “HENRY L. ELSNER.” Doctor Peck is the family physician and Doctor Eisner Is a specialist. Washington, Oct. 30. —The illness of Vice-President Sherman and specu lation over the possibilities of his withdrawal from the Republican tick et because of sickness aroused dis cussion over methods of filling his place. The general opinion was that the national committee or the execu tive committee possessed power to fill such a vacancy. Should the vacancy occur either be fore or after election, some Repub lican leaders said, the electors would have power to vote for any candidate for vice-president they might choose. Ordinarily, should there be no vice president, the president pro tem. of the senate would preside over that body, and the line of succession to the presidency w r ould be to the secretary of state.

BULGURS CAPTURE TURKISH TRAIN Shut Adrianople Off From Troops and Food Supply. ALLIES POSSESS OLD SERVIA battle Line Extends More Than 100 Miles in Length, With Both Sides Claiming Ad vantage. London. Oct. 29. —The Bulgarian fighting line extends from Adrianople nearly to the Black sea, and has ad vanced to within eighty-five miles of Constantinople. The same general engagement has been raging since last Wednesday, with fighting sometimes at one point and at other times at another, but it is really an engagement extending along a great front of more than 100 miles. Adrianople, in desperate plight, is still bolding out. with operations against it hampered by heavy rains. The situation for the inhabitants of the beleagnred city was rendered more critical by the capture in the vi cinity of Eskibaba of a military train carrying troops and supplies from Con stantinople to Adrianople. This move gives the Balkan allies control of the Oriental railroad and effectually shuts off Adrianople from any hope of relief, unless the Turks, by some mas ter stroke, again regain possession of the line. The Turks, after the cap ture of the train, retreated In the di rection of Constantinople. Other victories of the Bulgarians are the occupation of Hunarhissar, 22 miles from Kirk-Kiiisseh and Kresna. which is situated in the valley of the Struma. The capture of Scutari, which was reported from Vienna, is partly con firmed in a dispatch from Rome. Hun dreds of buildings in Scutari were re ported in flames at the last advice as a result of the Montenegrin cannon ade. The Servians are now in possession of virtually the whole of old Servia. and in. conjunction with the Montene grins hold the best part of the district of Novi Bazar. The Servian columns are also in control of the Turkish railroad from Mitrovitza. its northern terminus, down to Uskub, and are close on the heels of the defeated Turkish army, which is retreating in the direction of Vales. Although no official lists of the cas ualties has been published by any of the parties' in the great conflict, ad vices from various sources tend to place the number of killed and wound ed at more than 25,000. Roumania, the only Balkan country not yet Involved in the war, is men aced by the allies’ struggle to crush Turkey, and plans for a general mob ilization of the Roumanian army are said to be under consideration. Much alarm is current at Bucharest over the report that Russian cavalry is being concentrated on the northern frontier of Roumania. The government, however, is strong in the belief that it will be able to take care of itself and King Charles in addressing his cabinet said: “It is true that Roumania’s political position has been rendered difficult, but our military strength is sufficient to protect us.” Next to Bulgaria, Roumania is the strongest of the Balkan nations. Washington, Oct. 29. —The Turkish army at Adrianople has defeated the attacking Bulgar forces with heavy losses, according to a dispatch from Constantinople, which the Turkish em bassy gave out. The losses of the Bulgars are estimated ut more than 1,000. The Turkish ambassador emphati cally denied the reports issued by the Balkan allies that Adrianople is in Imminent danger of capture. Latest advices from his government, he de clared. indicated that the Bulgarians, after an attempt to assault the city, were driven back and have since left the Turkish army unmolested. U. S.

New York, Oct. 29. —Former Police Lieutenant Charles Becyer gave out another statement from his cell, la menting the fact that he failed to take the stand at his trial and adding that he had litle hope of securing a rever sal of the verdict which condemns him to the electric chair for the mur der of Herman Rosenthal.

The plot had miscarried, he added. “I am no longer optimistic that my lawyers will get a new trial,” said Becker. ”1 might say that I am hope less of a successful appeal.” “It is a case of railroading me to the chair,” declared Becker. “The judges of the court of appeals are only human. I do not know that I will get another trial.” Mrs. Becker, who was with him, burst into tears. She plans to be a daily visitor at the Tombs, pending the appeal. BIG OIL FIGHT AT END. Rockefeller-Archbold Crowd to Quit Waters-Pierce Company. New York, Oct. 30. —Wall street re ceived a surprise on Monday when the announcement was made that the fight of the Waters-Pierce Oil company with the Standard Oil company had been brought to a sudden close. The taking of testimony here for the suit brought in Missouri to force the Waters-Pierce company to admit to its directorate a majority of men repre senting the Rockefeller-Archbold inter ests has been suspended because H. Clay Pierce has virtually agreed to take over all the shares owned by the interests he is now fighting. Wall street soon learned the cause of the quick change of affairs. It was that the Rockefeller-Archbold inter ests had agreed to dispose of all their holdings, or virtually all, to Waters- Pierce provided price terms could be agreed upon. These negotiations were left to Martin Carey, counsel for the Standard Oil crowd, and former Judge Samuel H. Priest of St. Louis for the Pierce crowd. The two lawyers h<?d been holding conferences here for sev eral days, but so quietly were the ne gotiations conducted that not even brokers directly interested were aware of the likelihood of the sale.

CLEVELAND IS ID BECOME BRIDE Widow of Former President Will Wed Professor. OLD ROMANCE RECALLED Married Grover Cleveland While He Was Acting as Guardian After Her Father’s Death Groom-to-Be I'. Thos. Preaton, of Wells College. Princeton, N. J.—Mrs. Grover Cleveland authorizes the announce ment of her engagement to Thomas Joseph Preston, professor of arche ology and history of arts at Wells college. The date of the marriage is not yet determined, but will be an nounced later. Mrs. Cleveland is a graduate of Wells college and has been a trustee of that institution since 1887. Her wedding to Presi dent Grover Cleveland, which took place in the executive mansion dur ing his first administration was one of the notable events in the history of the White house. Her father, Oscar Folson, was a law partner of Mr. Cleveland, who, upon Mr. Folsom’s death in 18 75, became Frances Fol som’s guardian. After his retirement from the pres idency Mr. Cleveland made his per manent home in Princeton and Mrs. Cleveland has continued to reside there since the former president died in 11)08. Her two daughters, Esther and Marion, and her son, Richard, are living with her here. The second romance of the woman who, as “the bride of the white bouse’’ charmed a nation, and whose high character and devotion to her distinguished husband have been, by example, a national influence towards high ideals of wifehood, is the out come of an acquaintanceship of little more than a year’s duration. Prof. Preston is about 50 years old, scholar and linguist of international distinc tion. INGRAM WINS LIBEL SUIT Supreme Court Rules Criticism of Candidate Justified—Pastor’s Sermon Was Published. Madison. —Orrin H. Ingram, wealthy Eau Claire lumberman and member of the capitol commission, and the Rev.

Arnold was a candidate for re election as district attorney. The Rev. Mr. Pike among other ministers is said to have opposed him. One Sunday these pastors preached on the same topic, Kararky, a Greek word meaning “government by the bad.” Mr. Pike’s sermon was declared li belous. It was printed in the two daily pa pers of Eau Claire. Arnold charged that Ingram had taken a copy of the sermon to the papers for publication and was therefore concerned in pub lishing it. Ingram denied this. Mr. Pike said he had believed in the truth of what he had said and was not actuated by malice. In the lower court Arnold was awarded damages against both jointly and against Mr. Pike. Safe Robbers at B; iiiion.

SLAYER OF THREE GOMIMGIDE Plymouth Farmer Wipes Out His Wife's Family. LAW IS CHEATED BY NOOSE Tragedy Occurs When Alvin Roehr Is Refused Admission to Home of His Enstranged Wife’s Parents Mrs- Roehr Hides and Escapes. Sheboygan.—Alvin Roohr, aged 33, a young farmer of Plymouth, this county, shot and killed his father-in law. Philip J. Ott, Mrs. Ott and Mrs. Ott’s father, Fred Haul, aged 80, be cause he was refused permission to aee his wife who was not, living with hmi. After having satisfied his ven geance, the murderer went to the woods about a quarter of a mile from his home and hung himself. About a year and a half ago, Roehr married Ott’s daughter. They did not get along peaceably and Mrs. Roehr Boaie time ago took her 6- month-old baby and went home to her father’s house, just across the road. She then started suit for di vorce. Roehr went to his father-in-law’s home and demanded to see his wife. The grandfather answered the door, but refused the young man admit tance. Roehr then went back to his home, returning with a shotgun, and as the grandfather went to the dairy shed, Roehr shot and killed him in stantly. Mr. Ott, and his wife came out of the door and Roehr shot them, both shots entering their breasts, kill ing the minstantly. Then Roehr en tered the house in search of his wife, who had heard him and taken her baby and hidden in a chimney cup board. After remaining there over three hours she slipped out and gave the alarm to neighbors. The only witness to the triple crime was the i-year-old adopted son of Ott. Roehr’s father committed suicide about five years ago and it is be lieved there is a trace of insanity in the family. Ott was one of the most prominent farmers and stock raisers In this county. BIGAMIST LOSES TWO WIVES Sparta Woman in Seeking Missing Spouse in Madison Finds Ha Has Anolher Helpmate. Madison.—Judge Ray Stevens of tee circuit court has granted divorce to two wives of F. H. Hancock, a commercial traveler, and if he has any more in Wisconsin they can get similar relief by applying to the same court. The duplicity of Hancock was re vealed when Mrs. Agnes Hancock of Sparta came here to find her miss ing husband and found instead an other wife of Hancock. The two women compared photographs of their husbands and discovered that they were married to the same man. Hancock married the Madison woman several years ago. A few weeks ago he went through a mar riage ceremony with the Sparta woman and deserted her four days later. When last heard from Han cock was in Milwaukee.

Marinette.—The sawmill of the J’eshtigo Lumber company, at Pesh tigo, burned to the ground, with a loss estimated at SIIO,OOO. The sawmill was the principal industry of the city. Officials of the company are un able to say whether they will rebuild. They still own considerable timber in the vicinity. An overheated journal box in the dynamo room is said to have caused the fire. The main fire protection of the city was the pump ing station at the mill, but the fire put it out of commission in a few minutes. The planing mill and lum ber yards were saved. Lightning Cause of Fire. Madison.—September fire loss in W isconsin, according to the report of Fire Marshal T. M. Purtell, was $229,800, insurance, $621,645.

MAKES MURDER CONFESSION Short Note and Revolver Cartridge Found Together in Bottle in Chippewa River, Eau Claire. —An old bottle, a short penciled note and a .32 caliber re volver cartridge constitute the basis of the second Eau Claire bottle mys tery in a month. The bottle was found in the Chippewa river. The note says: “Because T murdered sheriff of Owen ray body you will never find.” Under the word sheriff was a word which looked like Korn or Knox. On the other side of the paper was written: “To Whom It May Concern—l committed suicide at the Chippewa Dam on Aug. 5.” The signature was blurred and barely legible. It looks like Tony Jackson or Tony Jacobson, and after the name was written: “Stevens Point.” On Aug. 1 Constable Griffin, Owen, Wis., was shot and fatally wounded by a trio whom he sought to arrest. The three escaped. Later two, sup posed to be of the trio, were seen at Eau Claire. About a month ago another bottle was found in the river. A note bore the name of Elmer K. Strong, Stev ens Point, who said he had escaped from the Waukesha industrial school. HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETS Sixteenth Annual Gathering Is Held at Madison—Finances Show Big Cain Over Preced ng Year.

Superior.—The resuming of reg ular car service apparently signal izes the defeat of the striking street car men, who walked out here and in Duluth several weeks ago, al though the strikers w r ill not admit their defeat and claim that they are as strong as ever. More than fifty in this city and nearly double that number in Duluth are still out. While the service here is practically as good as before, serious difficul ties are still experienced across the bay. Men to fill the places of the strikers were recruited from the Twin cities and other outside points. Stock Show for Madison. Milwaukee. —The Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders’ association made ar rangements at a meeting here for an exhibition of Wisconsin cattle to be held in Madison in February, in con junction with the farmer’s school of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

FOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION Thirty Cities Have Raised $200,000 by Locil Taxa ion—Others Ready to Meet Requirements 1> legislature Provides for More Schools. Madison.—Thirty schools in Wis consin have arranged for continua tion schools in which industrial edu cation will be the leading feature. This is the maximum number for which state aid was provided by the legislature of 1911 other cities stand ready to establish such schools as so?n as future legislative enactments shall entitle them to state aid. There has been raised by local taxation in the thirty cities $200,0u0, while the total state aid is limited to $35,000, and this speaks loudly of the faith of people in the value of providing for the educational needs of those whom the regular schools do noi reach. As tersely stated by Warren E. Hicks, assistant superintendent of industrial education, “Continuation activity is to get instruction in indus try, not to get persons out of indus try.” In addition to the industrial work, all continuation schools must give instruction in English, v£itizen ship, business practice, physiology and hygiene and safety devices. Reg ulations have been made to prevent any interference on the part of in dustrial schools with the regalar schools and vice \orsa. A child must have completed at least the filth grade before he is permtited to at tend a continuation school. Classes made up of part continuation schools pupils and part regular school pupih are forbidden.

La Crosse. —Anew kind of suicide, pact has been carried out near On tario, wffiere Ernest Revels, a young farmer, killed his dog and himself. The two had been inseparable, and when Revels became tired of life, he called his dog to him, fondled him tenderly and shot him through the body, after which he turned his shot gun on himself. When friends of Revels, aroused by the shot, arrived, they found the dying dog licking the hand of his master, who survived him only a few minutes. Charged With Counterfeiting. Beloit. —For several weeks Belok store keepers and saloon men have been getting counterfeit silver dollars and the police and government offi cials have been on the lookout.

(By W. H. UNDERWOOD.) It Is a well known fact that by far t greater number of dairy cows are allowed to follow the most natural course, and either by indifference or intention, they freshen in the spring. The producer of milk for sale, if he has an even trade, may want to have an even number of fresh cows in every month of the year. If the bull is kept confined and serv ice controlled, this can be regulated as a rule, although unpleasant irregu larities in breeding will sometimes oc cur and stubbornly resist correction. But, if the prime object is to pro duce the greatest quantity of milk of the best quality and the greatest profit with any given number of cows wlth- Prize Holstein Cow. in a year, evidence is overwhelming that the cows should be managed so as to calve during the autumn months. For like reasons, September is the best month in most parts of the coun try, for a heifer to drop her first calf in order to best develop as a cow. This almost regardless of the animal at the first calving. Calves born in the fall are made easily reared and make better cows than those born in the spring and summer. It seems needless to rehearse the stock argument on the subject, based on long experience of successful dairymen, but a brief recapitulation may be useful. The cow or heifer calving in the fall needs the most healthy and nutritious pasturage just following the strain while coming into full flow. Just at this time, when some falling off is likely to occur, the animal is brought to the stable and receives good care; the winter feeding and the returns from it may be depended upon to ex ceed the midsummer results for any like period. At the stage of milking and gesta tion, when another dropping off of the milk yield may be looked for, the fresh pastures induce a fresh cow, lengthen the milking season and increase the year’s total product. December and January are good months in which to control and super vise the service of a bull. Midsummer and the dog days are a good time for the cow to be dry and preparing to calve again. With fall-fresh cows, the greatest and richest product comes at the sea son when milk and butter are always comparatively high in price. In actual practice four fall-fresh cow's have been found equal to five which calved in the spring in 12 months’ product and at about four fifths the cost. MAKE THE SKIMMER SECURE Scheme for Fastening Cream Separa tor to Cement Floor Tried and Found Very Satisfactory. Here is a scheme for fastening a cream separator down on a cement floor which we have tried and found very satisfactory. Before putting in the cement floor, a three-fourths inch bolt was threaded to the middle, then put through a hole in a small piece of scrap iron, whites Dan Belt of La Crosse, Kan., in the Farmer’s Mail and Breeze. The bolt and iron w r ere firm ly imbedded in the fresh cement, leav ing the threaded end sticking out. The base of the separator was then firmly bolted to two pieces of two by four I 1

Then an old disk from a disk harrow was slipped over the bolt so the edge extended out over the two by four on each side. A nut was screwed down tightly over the disk. In case the cement floor has al ready been laid, chisel out a hole about six inches square, making it flaring at the bottom. Then set in Vour bolt and fill the hole with a mixture of equal parts cement and sand. The Skim Milk Calf. Feeding and raising the calf on skim milk is not always an easy prop osition. but I have had very good suc cess. The calf stays with the mother until the milk i3 good to use; then it is gradually changed to skim milk. The calf will scon learn to eat alfalfa hay. By putting a little corn chop in the bucket when the calf is through drinking it will soon learn to eat it. Corn will supply the fat that is taken out of the milk, writes J. C. Fry In an exchange. The calf must ex ercise and is allowed the freedom of yard and farm. AS e have the best suc cess with the fall and winter calves. Hay is better for the calf than grass. Babcock Test. The Babcock test is the greatest and most authentic check that can be put upon #the cow. It tells without arv question just what every individ ual is doing. VALUE OF BLANKETING COWS Practice Adopted in Ausiralia Found to Give Excellent Resylts Dar ing Cold Weather. For some years past a number of dairymen in Australia have adopted the practice of blanketing cows dur ing wet and cold weather. The r-e suits In every case are spoken of &s being highly satisfactory. When cows are kept warm the food they con sume, Instead of being utilized to maintain dally heat, la largely de voted to the production of milk, and in this way the dairyman realizes a large profit on the very small outlay required to provide blankets for his cattle in cold weather. Men who have studied the subject closely say that the effect of covers on cows Is very remarkable. The quiet cows become more quiet and contented, while those that are shy or nervous have their nerves soothed, and submit of being handled without fear. This is no fad of one or two men, but has become so common that the manufacturers have placed several kinds of blankets as cover ings on the markets, with a view of supplying the demand that has arisen. It is said, however, that a home made blanket, made from old wheat bags, serves the purpose as well as anything. After they have been worn for a short time they become thor oughly waterproof. SAFETY HOLDER FOR BOTTLES Authorized Person by Use of Key Can Open Lock and Remove Jar From Receptacle. In describing an invention of G. F. Barr of Manhattan, N. Y., for holding milk 'bottles and other receptacles, the Scientific American says: 'ln the present invention is an im proved safety holder for milk bot tles, jars and the like receptacles, in tended to be attached to a suitable support and to receive and retain a bottle against unauthorized removal. Holder for Bottles. An authorized person, by use of a key, can readily open the lock and sw'ing the cover open for removal of the receptacle from the casing, as pic tured in the perspective view of the safety holder for a milk bottle locked in position in the bolder. Dairy Calves. When a heifer calf is raised for the dairy it should be handled and petted all the way up, and she will seldom cause much trouble. Our heifers raised in this w r ay are very tame. When we put them away to pasture we go occasionally and salt them, al ways endeavoring to give them a kind ly pat, and when it is time to take them home they are easily caught, says a writer in an exchange. Oth ers will take young stock to pasture and never go near them from spring till fall. Then when they do go will take a “fool” dog—made so by having a fool master —and chase their young stock all over the hills to catch them. I have known one or two cases w'here a “professional” dog was sent for ten miles aw'ay to catch the heifers. What a foolish w'aste of energy, and how easily it could have been avoid ed! Make-Up of Cow. The first-class cow, besides being a large producer, should be of a quiet disposition. The nervous, bad tem pered cow, not only tries the patience of the owner, but wastes his time as well. Profit of Cow. The milk production alone is not what measures the profit of the cow. It is the difference between the cost of feed and the returns which the milk brings. Daiw Note-s Close skimming means more skim milk left on the place. A bit more feed now that the pas tures are getting shorter. Is your buT gentle? Then get s ring in his nose before night. Draining butter well before salting will help its keeping qualities. Better a nose ring for the young bull than an accident afterward. A brush to wash dairy utensils is more sanitary than the time honored rag. A solid concrete base for the sepa rator will lengthen the life of the ma chine. It pays in more ways than one to be friendly with the young dairy stock. Cooler weather and fewer flies will make milking a pleasanter chore from now on. One mess of milk spoiled for lack of proper cooling will pay for a good aerator. The big secret in keeping butter is to have it good to begin with, then keep it cold. For a cheap but effective milk strainer nothing beats several thick nesse of cheesecloth. Let the cream can have the coolest place in the cellar if a tank of cold water is not available- FATTEN CHICKS FOR MARKET Arizona Woman Has Much Success With Coop Covered With Wir3 Netting —Ration Used. I am having great success in fatten. Ing my overstock of chick cockerels for hotel and restaurant trade, writes Mrs. Almo of Roswell, N. M., in the Farmers’ Mail and Breeze.

The top is cov ered with poultry netting, over which a solid roof is hinged, which-- may be raised on warm days. The front and Coop for Market Feeding. west end are covered with wire net ting. Tl\e roosts are In the west end of the coop. The feed drawer is cov ered with two-inch mesh wire net ting and one feeding a week will do. I feed the following mixture for fat tening; One quart each, alfalfa meal, corn chop and bran, and one pint meat scraps. This way of feeding saves both time and feed and I now make money where I lost money before with ordinary care. Besides my own stock I buy chicks of the quick-growing breeds to fatten. GERMAN EGG-LAYING TESTS Results Given of Exocriments Made to Determine Effect of Various Meat Meals on Poultry. Tests were made a short time since (n Germany to determine the effect of lifferent meat meals on poultry. Du?- Ing these experiments it was found that the egg production ceased earlier than with normal hens. Fish meal was more favorable for egg produc tion than meat meal. The eggs were of poorer flavor than normal eggs, ind could not be preserved in the usual way. Tiie meat meal increased the In tensity of the yellow color of the yolk The flesh of the birds fed meat meal was normal as regards taste and odor, though slightly changed in color, melting point and fat, which were higher than normal, but lower than normal with fish meal. When fed cadaver meal the flesh of the fowl had a rancid taste, and whenever fed should be free from fat as possible, tuberculosis beef did not cause tuber culosis in the hens. FEED SUPPLY CAN IS USEFUL Galvanized Receptacle, as Shown in Illustration, Affords Protection From Rodents. Where one keeps much feed in the poultry house and wishes to protect It from rats and mice a can, such as is shown in the Illustration, is the best device. This le made of galvanized iron inches high at the back, 12 inches in front, 9 inches deep and 11 inches wide. It will hold 25 pounds of A Feed Supply Can. whole grain There should be a heavy bail on each can, so that it may be carried easily, and to hang it up by. There should be at least one can for each poultry house. This avoids the necessity of carrying a measure of feed around when gathering the eggs. Keep something In the grit box. Poultry keeping is business of quick profits. Suggestions of fall weather are re viving egg prices. Plowing up runs and yards is a seasonable Job any time. All the milk they will consume is a help to the molting hens. Corn makes fat and heat. Oats, wheat, bran and middlings make eggs. Not a bit of decayed food of any kind ever ought to be given a hen or chick. Too many birds in a house simply can not do so well as they would oth erwise. Before the roads get frozen, scrape up some dust for winter use. Put it tu a dry place. Ten hens that have room according to their strength will bring in more money than fifteen crowded. When we get a good many chicks on hand there is a temptation to crowd them during the winter season. Two weeks’ cooping on fattening feeds will add considerable weight and profit to fowls Intended for mar ket. Sunflower seeds being very nitro geneous and rich in fats, not more than a quart should be fed to 30 fowls, twice a wek. Both lice and disease germs may be gotten rid of at one operation by fumigating the poultry house with burning sulphur. A hen is no goose. She prefers the trees for roosting places when the house is uncomfortable because of lice or poor ventilation. GOT RICH IN THREE YEARS EXPERIENCES OF A BRITISH INI. MIGRANT IN CANADA-WEST. The following straightforward state ment needs no comment to add to Its force and effect. It appears In a recent issue of the Liverpool Mer cury. H. Patterson, of Nutana, Saskatche wan, Canada, when he arrived from Liverpool, had “Six of us to support.” to use his own phraseology, and his funds were getting low r He secured a homestead 32 miles out from Sun durn, and started living on it April 15, 1907. The previous fall he put all his money, $137, into a shack and lot, making sure of a home. As cook and caterer in a local hotel he made $75 a month, and out of this had some savings out of which he paid hia breaking and improvements on the homestead. The shack was sold to good advantage. Then Mr. Patterson tells the story after he had removed his family to the homestead; “For the first mouth life was so strange and new that I hadn’t time to think of anything, only fixing up our new home. I was so ‘green’ to farm life that I didn’t know the difference between wheat and oats {I do now)! Betw’een working out, cropping my place, and with my gun, we managed to live comfortably for the three years, which time was required to put In my duties. I had accumulated quite a stock of horses, cows, pigs, fowls, and machinery in the three years. “In October, 1909, I secured my pat ent to my land, so took a few days’ holidays to Saskatoon to locate a purchased homestead (viz., 12s. per acre) from the Government. Instead of getting the purchased homestead, I secured a half section (320 acres) on the Saskatchewan River for $25 per acre on easy terms, nine years’ payments with a cash payment of SI,OOO. I mortgaged my first home stead, obtained chattel mortgages on my stock, and on December 24th, 1909, took possession; on June 10, 1910, I sold out again for S4O per acre, clearing, besides my crop (140 acres), $4,800. I also sold my first home stead, clearing SI,BOO and two Saska toon town lots, which wo value at SI,OOO each today. We placed aM our capital in another farm (river front age) and some trackage lots (CO), also a purchased homestead (river front age), I remained as Manager of the Farm I had sold on a three years’ contract at a fine salary and house, garden, and numerous privileges. “So by the time my three years have expired, -with my investments and the increased value of my frontage and lots, I am hoping to have a clear profit on my $137 investment of $50,000. My land doesn’t eat any thing, and it is nearly all paid for. 1 hold a good position (and secure)’’— Adv. A Nice Distinction. Senator Gronna, discussing a knot ty tariff problem, said in a speech; “There is a nice distinction Involved here. You don't notice It at first. Once it Is pointed out to you, however, you perceive its immense importance. “It's the sort of distinction that I Gobsa Golde's beautiful young wife I revealed to him during a conjugal quarrel over a diamond tiara. ‘People say,’ quavered the old man, trembling with rage. ‘People say you only married me because 1 had money.’ “The young woman smiled superbly. ‘Rubbish!’ she exclaimed. ‘My pri mary reason for marrying you was that I had no money myself.’ Safe Betting.

Ketxd Bhe W eekiy Leader THE SETTING SUN —From the Chicago Inter Ocean. WHY ROOSEVELT IS LOSING GROUND Lifelong and loyal Republicans will not follow him out of the Republican party. I he American people will not gratify the disappointed ambition of a man who. in a spirit of revenge, would wreck the Republican party because it refused him a presidential nomination. The country does not want for president a man who eagerly grasps at every wild and radical theory merely to gain votes. Honest men will not support a candidate who instituted dishonest contests to help his nomination and who accepts money for his cam paign from the Harvester and Steel trust directors. Thousands of Republicans do not believe that men of unblemished character who disagree with Roosevelt are thieves and liars. Right-thinking people cannot trust a candidate who violates his solemn pledges. Republicans are beginning to realize that the only possible effect of his candidacy may be the election of Wilson, and they are not w 1 mg to bring upon the country the disaster of a Democratic admin .stration merely to gratify one man’s hatred or ambition. The P e °P J e will not Mexlcanize the United States by electing to the presidency a man who declares that he sees no objction to any number of terms provided there is a recall. That Is, if again made president he would expect to remain In that office until the people drove him out. What Washington would not take, what Grant could not get, Roosevelt shall not have. KANSAS IS REPUBLICAN Roosevelt Strength Among Voters Is Decreasing Perceptibly Through out State. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 23. —Notwith- standing the enthusiasm which has always existed in Kansas for Theo dore Roosevelt, It Is undeniable that his strength as a presidential candi date is decidedly waning throughout the state. If he were the candidate of the Re publican party, and if there were a chance of his election, he would, of course, sweep the state without any serious opposition. But neither of those conditions exists. The fact that his own leaders have been obliged to yield to the wave of indignant pro test which swept against them on ac count of their effort to have Roose velt’s electors placed in the Repub lican column has not only proven the strength of the Taft sentiment, but it has eliminatetd all possibility of Roosevelt carrying the state. The withdrawal of his electors from the Republican columns has emphasized the fact that he Is not the Republican candidate; and Kansas is too well satisfied with the conditions which have prevailed during the past six teen years to follow any man, how ever popular he may be, out of the Republican party. The Roosevelt sentiment has been further weakened by the universal conviction that there is no possibility of his election and that the only ef fect his candidacy can possibly have Is to expose the country to the dan ger of a Democratic victory. Kansas Is as far from being a Democratic state as it ever was and with the sub stantial collapse of the Roosevelt cam paign. this state will be found in its accustomed place near the head of the Republican column. LOSING IN NEBRASKA. Progressive Party Will Die Before Election Day Comes Around Reports from Nebraska show that the Roosevelt sentiment is decreasing. “The Third Term party,” says one letter to Director Mulvane of the western bureau of the Taft campaign, "is dwindling down to Pops.” James H. Clark of Hastings, Neb president of a large company which handles investments, securities and farm mortgages, and who has excep tional opportunity to know the feel ing among the farmers, says that in Nebraska the farmers are beginning to realize that if they followed Roose velt they will land nowhere, and if they allow a Democratic president to be elected, they will be ruined. In Lincoln. Neb., the Third Term party had difficulty in securing even two hundred and fifty signers to a pe tition for their county convention. '*The Progressive party will die before election,” saya one report. "Senti ment is looking better for Taft every

CANVASS OF INDIANA It Shows That the Roosevelt Move ment Is Now on the Decline. Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 30.—A care ful canvass has been made of the Roosevelt sentiment in every county in this state. The inquiry was start ed by a prominent business man of this city, who was anxious to learn for himself the true condition of af fairs. He sent out a large number of letters to men in each of the coun ties who were not politicians and would have no incentive to falsify the situation. The replies showed that in every county in the state, with one exception, there had been a marked decrease in the Roosevelt sentiment r l he opinion was universally ex pressed that the Third Term candi date had fewer followers now in In diana than at any time since the cam paign opened and this number was steadily decreasing. A few of these reports summarized are as follows: White county—" Ours is an agricul tural community and the farmers all seem satisfied with conditions and are not calling for a change. I see no evidence of Bull Mooseism spread ing. On the contrary, it is weaker than at first.” Steuben county—“ The Third Term ers are on the down grade and will not be as strong a month later as they are now.” Lake county—" Sentiment for the Progressives is weakened, especiallv among the farmers. Sentiment is growing more and more favorable to the administration.” Montgomery county—" The Bull Moose sentiment here is waning. The Third Term party is losing as the campaign progresses.” De Kalb county—" There will not be many Bull Moose voters here. Taft will get some Democratic votes— quite a number.” Miami county—" The changes are now coming all our way. There are no more desertions from the Repub lican ranks.” Tippecanoe county "The Bull Moose sentime it is subsiding.” Reports from Allen and La Grange counties are to the same effect. SLIDING BACK IN NEVADA Roosevelt Has Reached His Limit and Is Rapidly Receding. Reno. Nev.. Sept. 26. —The decline |of the Roosevelt movement, notice able throughout the country, is very apparent in Nevada. "The interest in the Bull Moose movement is crystallized in Roose velt,” says the Evening Gazette, "and that interest is waning.” The Gazette further states that Roosevelt’s disap pointing speech in this state, the fact that he is receiving funds from George W. Perkins and is being sup ported only by cast-off politicians, are drag-stones about his neck. The Ga zette sums up the situation In Nevada i as follows: “Roosevelt has reached the limit of his power and is sliding back rapidly. 1 REMEMBER. South Bend (Ind.) Tribune. WOODROW WILSON, Democratic Candidate for President, being summoned before the bar of the American people as a witness for and in behalf of the Republican party, was examined and testified as follows: Question: Did you or did you not, in your History of the Amer ican People, refer to the years 1893 to 1896, when the Democratic party was In power, as “THOSE FATAL YEARS OF DEPRESSION”? Answer: I did. Question: Did you or did you not describe the terrible conditions in those years in the foliowing language, upon pages 255 and 236 of Volume 5: “A great poverty and depression had come upon the western mining regions and upon the agricultural regions of the west and south,” and “Men of the poorer sort were idle everywhere and filled with a sort of despair. All of the larger cities and manufactur ing towns teemed with unemployed workingmen, who were WITH THE UTMOST DIFFICULTY KEPT FROM STARVATION by the systematic efforts of organized charity?” Answer: I did. Question. Did you or did you not, after describing this distress in detail and relating that millions of American gold went across the sea to pay foreign creditors, use these words, on page 263; “NOT UNTIL THE YEAR 1897, WHEN THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION CAME IN, DID THE CRISIS SEEM TO BE PAST”? Answer: I did. The Republican party asks no better witness against a change from sixteen years of Republican prosperity to four years more of Democratic distress than Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate for president. MUST VOTE FOR TAFT Roosevelt, Who Cannot Be Elected, Says That Wilson’s Election Means Nation-Wide Disaster. Col. Roosevelt, the Third Term Can didate, cannot possibly be elected. There is no way in which he can car ry enough states to give him 26G elec toral votes. But by dividing the Republican party. Col. Roosevelt can aid in elect in oodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate. Should Wilson be elected? Roosevelt says that Wilson’s election would plunge this country into nation wide disaster. Here are Roosevelt's own words, written in the Outlook of July, 27, 1912: "If Dr. Wilson were elected, he would either have to repudiate the promises made about the tariff in the Democratic platform of else bring ev ery industry in the country to a crash which would make all panics in our past history seem like child's play in comparison. In short, were Dr. Wil son elected on this platform, he would be obliged at the very outset of his ad ministration to face the alternatives of dishonesty or disaster, the alterna tives of refusing to carry out the ex pressed pledges of the platform, or else of causing such disaster to ev ery worke” in the country as would mean nation wide ruin.” As Roosevelt cannot be elected, and as Roosevelt says that Wilson's elec tion would mean disaster, it is a log ical conclusion that the vote of the country must be given to President Taft. TALKING ABOUT STRAWS. The Billings (Mont.) Daily Gazette, which has been a strong Roosevelt pa per until recently, has come over to Taft, the editor giving his reasons for the change in a double-column article, declaring that he sees no hope for the success of the Third Term party, and is convinced that the cause of real re form can be best promoted by con tinuing the Republican party in power. The article particularly emphasizes the danger of bringing about adverse business conditions through a change in administration, and points out the steady advance which has been made under Republican policies. It is a most significant editorial, and as the Gazette is the most important paper in Montana, its influence upon the elec tion can hardly be measured. It is only another one of the innumerable signs that the Third Term party has col lapsed, that the country realizes the fight is bt tween the Republican party and the Democratic party, and that no possible benefit could be derived from a change. HADLEY IS FOR TAFT Roosevelt's Former Manager Comes Out Squarely for the President. Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, who was one of Roosevelt’s managers at the Re publican national convention, and who had charge of the contest made by Roosevelt delegates, has declined to follow the Third Term candidate out of the Republican party, and has de clared that he will support President Taft In a speech at Jefferson City, Mo., he said: “I hope that these many highmind ed but, I believe, mistaken men, who have thought there was a greater in terest to be subserved by joining in the organization of anew party and the nomination of another State tick et, will yet see that by such acts they are simply doing that which tends to insure Democratic success. And I hope that they will come back to the party which has stood for decency; that has stood for sane and effective progress in the conduct of public af fairs.” After appealing to Republicans to support the Republican nominees, Gov. Hadley pointed out in his speech that the Democrats were pledged to the same kind of tariff legislation as they gave to the country after the Democratic victory of 1892. He said that no Republican could associate himself with those whose efforts tend ed to insure Democratic success. FORAKER SUPPORTS TAFT Says All Other Candidates Seek to Destroy Republican Party. By his physician’s orders, former Senator Foraker has been compelled to decline the invitation to make speeches this campaign. Of course, as a loyal Republican, he is support ing Taft. For quite a while the former senator was in Maine for his health, and while there he was a keen ob server of the political situation. He declares that the result in Maine was emphatically a victory for the policy of protection. Upon his return home he gave a highly interesting state ment to the Cincinnati “Commercial Tribune,” from which the following is excerpted: “It is the duty, of every Republican who wants to support the Republican party and Republican principles to re member that there is no way to sup port the party and its principles ex cept by supporting President Taft. “Nobody else pretends to represent the Republican party. Every* other candidate for the presidency Is the open and avowed enemy of the Re publican party.
