Answers Manufacturers Threat to Close Factory if Demo crats Win in Eleciion WOULD MAKE NEW MACHINE Candidate Jokes About a Serious Mat ter—Continues Criticism of Depart­ ment of Justice for Trust Prosecu tions—Hughes Concludes Western Trip in Illinois. Paris, Mo., Oot. 10.—Keeping up liis attacks on the administration for its failure, as he said, to prosecute the trusts, Bryan here charged that the department of justice had grossly neglected its duty in the matter of the complaint against the American Steel and Wire company. He asserted there was proof that the claim of the attor ney general that he was prosecuting the trusts was false. Addressing himself to a large audi ence of farmers here, Bryan referred to the news Item that appeared in the morning papers. He said: "A press dispatch announces this morning that a Pennsylvania manufac turer of separators has given notice to his employes .that the factory will close down for an extended period If I am elected. This is the most dis couraging threat I have yet read. I had supposed the cows would go on giving milk under a democratic ad ministration as well as under a re publican, but If, as a result of my elec tion, the cows are going to dry uip in November, and no,t become fresh again for four years, It will really be a serious matter. There must toe some mistake afbout this separator business. The men may be manufacturing a separator that the republican party has been using, for it has 'been using a separator that has separated the cream fram the milk, and It has .given the cream to 'the monopolies and the skimmed milk to the rest of the peo ple. That kind of separator will no •longer be'used, and those who manu facture it may find .their occupation gone, but for the rest of tihe people, it will be a glad day, a day of re joicing. Bryan Makea Public a Letter.: Moberly, Mo. Oct. 10.—Bryan was greeted here today by a great crowd. He discussed the issues of the cam paign, but laid particular stress on what he charged was the failure of the department of justice to put into force the anti-trust law. He read a letter from J. K. Richards, acting attorney general, addressed to J. A. Heath, president of the Joliet Bale Tie com pany, of Joliet, 111.., in which Richards expressed his inability to prosecute the American Steel and Wire company for alleged selling of their finished product for less than they charged for wire in the coil. The letter was the basis of his principal remarks. Taft Begins Speaking Tour. Cincinnati, Oct. 10.—Judge Taft will today make a brief address to mem bers of the Taft-Sherman club of Fort Thomas, Ky., in the assembly room of the Slnton hotel. This was the last day for .political purposes the candidate will spend in his native city. Kern Has Sore Throat. Point Pleasant, W. Va., Oct. 10.—'The democratic party is at war with pro fligate expenditures of the present ad ministration, said John W. Kern in a speech before a good sized audience of democrats here today. He is suffering from inflamation of the throat and spoke with difficulty. HUGHES ENDS WESTERN TRIP Concludes Tour With Rousing Meetinga in lllinoia. Springfield, 111., Oot. 10.—Governor Hughes, of New York, arrived here this morning after an all-night run from Webb City, Mo. Governor De neen Joined Hughes at Alton, where the New York governor spoke before a large audience. He makes other stops at Lincoln, Bloomington, Pontiac and Joliet, reaching Chicago this even ing, where he ends his western tour.

Urges Election of Democratic Con gressmen and State Legislature. Monroe City, Mo., Oct. 10.—"I know in advance what Missouri will do on election day," said Bryan to a great crowd here, whom he addressed briefly this morning. He told his audience he wanted them to spread the enthusiasm over the ntire democratio ticket "We need the national democratic adminis tration," he said, "but the national ad ministration will not be a success un less it is supported in the senate and house." RAIL FUED IS ENDED. netting euncs- HARSHALLTOWJS. ,7r Harriman Apparently Extends His Control to Rock Island System. •New York, Oct. 10.—A deal of far reaching significance in the financial and railroad world was concluded yes terday in Wall street when St. Louis -San Francisco railroctd entered into a coo tract wKh Kol^n, Loeb Co., by §f ,/i-i' IOWA* which the banking Arm is to take care of ?7,126,000 of notes of that railroad, which mature on Dec. 1. At noon B. I*. Yoakum, chairman of the 'board of the Rock Island, request ed Speyer Co, to give him a linal proposition. It was iunsatlsfactory and Speyor Ci. wei declared out. With in. thirty minutes the Kuhn-Loeb deal was put thru and B. F. Yoakum had engineered the biggesit and most start ling financial coup Wall street has seen in many years. News San da Stock Up. When the notice reached the slock exchange grdat activity instantly ap peared around the Rock Island post, and heavy buying orders were placed In both Rock Island and St. Louis San Francisco Issues. Rock Island pre ferred jumped from 43 '6 to 4S%, and St. Louis San Fra/ncisco second pre ferred from 289i 'to 81 Slmiultan eousily banking support appeared In Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Mis souri Pacific, and all of the Harriman, Gould, and Reid-Moore securities. The* bear movement in the market was sud denly checked. The significance of the deal was immediately recognized. iFor several weeks thero have'been "persistent rum ors that the Speyer plan might result in the separation of the St. Louis San Francisco from the Rock Island. The assurance that such is not to bo the cose was conceded to mean that the warfare which has existed for more than a year between the Har riman and Rock Island Interests was at an end. This view was confirmed by the entrance of Kuhn, Loeb Co., the Harriman bankers, into financial relations with the Reid-Moore syndi cate. It is known that this ibanking firm wouJd not form an alliance with Interests antagonistic to Mr. Harri man. The relations between Mr. Harriman and the Reid-Moore syndicate were seriously strained by the Alton deal. The Chicago Alton hod been Jointly controlled by Rook Island amd the Harrlman-Unlon Pacific interests. Just before the famous interstate commerce commission investigation, Rock 13lan 1 interests acquired a majority of stock and elected a board of directors for ithe Alton over iHarriman's head. The new .board was responsible, it is said, for the adverse criticisms of the man agement under Harriman. Ends Rumors of Warfare. For weeks rumors that Harriman and his friends were buying control of St. Louis San Francisco, have appeared. The story was that Union Pacific in tended to wrest control from tlie Rock Island and was fighting every effort to finance the St. Louis San Fran cisco notes. Whatever the truth of this, it is cer tain that the deal today was arranged at the eleventh ^our and -it was con ceded there is ground for the Belief that the terms represeift-""^ Wrpandlii'' Rock Island interests to Mr. Harrirtian. The sudden elimination of Speyer Co. from any banking connection with the great railroad systems whjdi they have financed for many years was not only a surprise to banking circles, but to that firm itself. James Speyer, the head of the firm, is in Europe, and the object of his trip there was largely to make banking arrangements connected with the formation of ar syndicate. Deal yesterday is purely a banking transaction. It does not mean that either Harriman or the Union Pacific interests are to aotually control either Rock Island or St. Louis San Fran cisco. It does mean, however, that the policies of those two railroads are hereafter to be conducted on lines that will meet with Harrlman's approval and that friendly interchange of traffic between the two systems, an equitable maintenance of rates, and an abandon ment of all competitive building will follow. It foreshadows rearrangements of the finances of all the Rock Island roads under the direction of Kuhn, Loeb Co. It meanst the final separa tion of Speyer Co. from all banking connections with these properties. Its broader significance is the operation in complete harmony of all the Harriman, Rock Island and Gould properties. LABOR IN POLITICS Iowa Federation Issues Circular Urg ing Unionists to Vote for Bryan, Cummins and Clark, and Against 'Hepburn. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines Oct 10.—President Urick of the Ioiwa State Federation of La bor, gave out a statement today en dorsing the action of the national fed eration in politics, and calling on all lalbor men and sympathizers to vote for Bryan, Cummins and George W.

Dubuque, Oct. 10.—Fire supposed to be incendiary, early this morning, de stroyed seventeen buildings, in the business center of Edgewood. Jh*? property loss approximates $C-0,0'J0. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 1903 Legislature May Change State Law Permitting' Counties to Form Districts DES MOINES SEES THE NEED Recent Difficulties in Purchasing Vot ing Machines Shows Objections to District Plan—Iowa in Advance in Combatting Tuberculosis Kepford Returns From Conference. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Oct. 10.—One of the bills that seems at this time likely to be in troduced tit the next session of the Iowa legislature will provide for abol ishing the supervisorial district lines in counties and provide that supervisors shall be elected from the county at large. It will be one step merely in the scheme to assist the larger cities of the state in housecleaning in their county governments. While there has been much agitation in many circles for a betterment In municipal governments the county governments in many coun ties not only in Iowa but elsewhere have fallen into as bad a state of af fairs as the city governments. It is more than likely that along with this move to abolish supervisorial districts thero will be a provision to clothe the county commission with greater au thority and really adopt the commiss ion system of government for the county. Des Moines is particularly interested in this movement and certain parties here declare that they will see to it that bills intended to better condi tions in Polk county will be introduced at the coming session of the legisla ture. It has been recognized that mat ters are not working overly well here but citizens have been devoting their attention so much to the booster move ment of the city conditions that they have had little time for the county af fairs. I One of the things that has lately xome to the attention of the citizens here In connection with the county government is the purchase of voting machines. The county agreed two or three years ago to purchase machines. The matter has been hanging fire ever since. Recently the county officials asked the city if it would pay one fourth of the cost of the purchase I and indicated that there was one par I ticular machine that the county de sired to purchase. The city council agreed to pay one-fourth the cost but asked that another machine be looked at before the purchase was made, on the claim that the other machine was better. It was with difficulty that the super visors could be induced to wait to see one1 of the other machines tho both machines are made by the same com pany. One of the other machines was brought In and left a few days at the Chamberlain and the supervisors then proceeded to buy the first machine without the city going in on the deal •to pay one-fourth the cost. The ma chine purchased is now found to be in adequate and of no account because it does not comply with the law. The other machine met the provisions of the law perfectly. If there are no grounds for* more se vere criticism the precipitate haste of the supervisors when either machine could be had in time for the election in November is a matter that to say the least is unbusinesslike. Extending beyond the supervisors Polk county finds that it is next to im possible to bring wealthy and influen tial malefactors to justice. The great est clog in the wheel seems to be the inability to get an indictment. Some times an indictment is returned. Then the case drags along and finally is dis­|Traer missed. A lawyer who was one of the attorneys for one malefactor told the writer that his client was dismissed be cause he (the malefactor) delivered the vote of his ward for a certain pol iticiial. The malefactor asked the advice of the lawyer in the matter and told him he could get the case dismissed if he could deliver the ward. The lawyer told him that while he didn't approve of such matters the evidence was largely against him in the case and if he could get it aimissed he would probably save himself a conviction. There are no isolated cases of this kind pither. The fact is a little'shrewd detective work could uncover all sorts of corruption in Polk county affairs. A. E. Kepford, state lecturer for the board of control, lias returned from the international congress on tubercu losis at Washington and is filled with satisfaction at the work done there. The fact is the congress arrived at conclusions which the board of control and Mr. Kepford already has under way in this state. Practically every conclusion reached by the congress as to modes of procedure in combatting the disease after the learned discus sions of the greatest scientists of tho world were the same as are already being worked out in this state. Iowa is a step in advance of all the other states in the union because the appropriation for the work is an nual and perpetual till the legislature makes it otherwise. It is therefore pos sible for the state board of control which has supervision of this work to make its plans to stretch over period of many year.- and a plan well adhered to is the battle half won. One of the things decided upon by the congress was that there should be s8S= registration of persons aft 3 1 with tuberculosis. This is a re that Iowa has been working uj S for some time. It is claimed that tl? :an be no effective work till persoi afflicted are registered. There win ~e no pla carding tho house in which the person lives or anything of that kind. The registration W aimed mainly for the purpose of keeping track of the poor people of a community who move from house to house spreading the disease wherever they go. It is the poor who suffer mainly from tuberculosis. Their habits are unsanitary and tuberculosis flourishes most where things are un sanitary. By registration tho author ities are able to keep track of them. With the exception of Dr. Robert Koch, the German who discovered tu bercle bacilis, the congress was agreed that tuberculosis can be communicated from tho bovine to the human. Koch has claimed for some time that It can not and he maintained this position In tho congress. Iowa hus acted on the theory that It can be so communicated and in agricultural and dairy state like this it is a very Important matter. Koch admitted that he had made no investigations along that line for two years, however. Iowa now has the right of authority of the International congress to support It in the work of eradicating tuberculosis in cattle. Another proposition arrived at in the congress was that the campaign should bo carried on in the public schools. Great emphasis was put on thifj point and Iowa has already begun the work of teaching the pupils in the lectures that are made to them by the state lecturer in every town he has visited. Mr. Kepford also at this time has up the work of preparing a simple text book on the subject so that the children can be taught both the danger of the disease and especially the danger of contracting it by living in unsanitary conditions and also the means of eradicating it. Probably tho matter of greatest Im portance agreed upon by the congress was that tuberculosis thrives on mal nutrition and that the important point in the eradicating of the disease is to raise the resistant power of the in dividuals. In other words the genera tions now coming on must be better housed, better clothed, better fed, and better cared for generally so that they will be healthier and better able to re sist the disease. It was claimed at the congress that a perfectly healthy per son will not contract the disease. Drunkenness, excesses of any kind weaken the individual and make him susceptible to tuberculosis as to other diseases. This is one of the main points that Mr. Kepford has been em phasizing wherever he had lectured. FIRE AT W0GLSTJDCK Jones Hardware and Implement Stock Entirely Destroyed at a Loss of $15, 000— Fourth Fire Within a Year. Special to Times-Republican. Webster City, Oct. 10.—The fourth disastrous fire within a year visited Woolstock early this morning, burn ing to the ground the big. W. T. Jones hardware and implement house.

(Los Angeles Times) Rear Admiral Philip C. Cooper, chief of the Asiatic station, complained in a recent letter home of the extortions of innkeepers in out-of-way parts of the globe. "In Montenegro, once," he wrote, "I asked for my bill, after having slept over night at a certain inn. and, as soon as the document was handed to me, I took out my purse to settle it, I did not bother to verify the various items. What would have been the use? "But my readiness to pay amazed the landlord. He thought a moment, and then he said uneasily: "Will you let me have another look at that bill, sir?

JO ACTION "v Conference Recommends That Only Those Friendly to Temperance In terests Be Supported for Congress- Educational Session Held—Bishop Is Wrestling With Appointments. Special to Times^Republican. Mt. Vennon, Ctot. 10.—The Interest in the temperance question, which has prevailed thruout tho entire session of the Upper 'Iowa, conference, was cli maxed today 4n the bringing in of res olutions by a special committee ap pointed for that purpose and the later discussion and -adoption thereof.. As was expressed by 'the bishop on Fri day, Cannon has .proved himself abso lutely unworthy of -cannonlzation and is worthy only of the severest kind of cannonading. The .members of the committee who 'brought in. the .resolu tions were, E. J. Lock wood, J. A. Bur chitt, N. Pye, John Gammons. W. W. Carlton and 3. (B. Shoemaker. T.he following is a part of the resolutions ^.s passed: "We recognize that the church as an organization shouild not assume to control the franchise of its members, but we do hold that -it is the duty of the ohurch to speak out with the earnestness of the old prophets Its admonition and counsel on all. moral I issues to all men. We hold this to be especially true'at the present time with reference to the temperance issue. We therefore urge upon all men their moral obligation to oppose, at all times and in every way that commends Itself to their judgment and •conscience, the saloon, that most fruitful source and most aggressive inspiration of all -that is iniquitous In our civilization. "We respectfully petition .congress to .pass the Littlefield interstate li quor shipment bll'l, or some measure similar in intent and purpose, as a. matter of justice to the states that have wholly or in part voted, or shall vote, to clear themselves "Worn this nefarious traffic. To this end we counsel q,nd urge our citizens to vote this fall for those candidates for congress who will not only vote for such a, measure, tout will also support for speatker of the national chouse of representatives a •man whoVwWl 'not use his power and influence to prevent a 'bill looking to ward such protection of states from being reported from the proper com mittee and from being considered by the house. We consider such action iby the speaker of the house as not only an injustice to the forces of righteous ness, but asm'enaoing to the perpetuity .of American institutions." Education Is Considered.

The bishop and the cabinet are pro ceeding somewhat slowly with the arp ranging of the appointments, there be ing .many difficult tangles to straighten out. especially in connection with the larger appointments in .the conference. Very little is definitely known regard ing the assignments of any of the lead ing men. J' Cornell College Report. The report of Cornell college was r6ad .to the conference this morning.

How these little wrigglers hate the man who exposes them. Do you ever feel an antipathy to wards these squirmers that remind you of the lickspittle prostitution of some politicians. A little further along we will lift a stone and give the people a square look before the crawlers can slink' out of the ^sunlight. You will perhaps remember the one 'big question before the two National conventions to nominate Presidential candidates was the anti-Injunction question. It vitally affects the liiber ties of the common people vs. the La bor Trust. At the Republican Convention the machine managers after a trade with the manaigers of the Labor 'Trust pre sented a plank calling for anti-injunc tion "legislation. Anti-Injunction What -does anti-injunction mean? It means the enactment of qjew laws to prevent the people's courts from is suing any order to stop men. known to be- intending to assault workmen or destroy iprop'erty. 'In other words tie the hands of the courts and not allow them to protect persons or property. Rut the honest members of the Con vention at Chicago hooted down this attack on our courts and refused to insert such a plamk in the platform, asserting, in place of it. confidence In :the integrity of 6ur courts and de .manding that their present power to protect the citizens be-maintained that was the basis of the plank adopted.

Now we iiieaSi in 'the graphophones in penny arcades a speech of this candi date, including in sonorous tones, "Why should the poor workman be de nied the sacred right of a trial by jury for his alleged crime." A white man gets a sickish feeling when he .sees such a deliberate attempt to such sym pathy by the most Infernal deceit. "What brought up the subject was a demand by the Labor Trust leaders that their lawbreakers, sluggers and dynamiters, when they disobey the or ders of the court arnd do these acts, be tried for contempt of that court by a jury instead of being sentenced by the court itself for- contempt of its or ders. In" that plan the Trust leaders hope to make it easy for their workers to do these acts and escape by a packed or frightened jury. But mark you the clean-cut distinc tion and here we lift the stone and put sunlight on the hidden, bleached squir mers and show how they try to misin form the public to gain sympathy and play upon the emotions of the unin formed. Under the present law every criminal has a'right to trial for his crime' by a jury. The paid, slugger of the. "entertain ment committee" of a labor union al ways has a jury trial for maiming or killing another workman, or for blow ing up property. He is tried by a law court and a jury. Notice therefore, the hypocrisy in the maudlin appeal of Bryan and other wilful pervertors of fact when they say "why should the workingman be denied the sacred right of trial by jury for his alleged crime?" A man who commits a crime against the people, whether he has smut on his nose and poses as a martyred "workingman" or has his finger nails manicured and is a member of a cap ital trust, is always tried by a jury. Never Is the criminal tried for his crime by the Equity Court which is sues-an injunction ordering him not to commit It. If he goes on and does the act in spite of the court's orders not to, when that court simply orders him "not to," until the court can en quire into his right to do the act he intends, then in the evept he wilfully disobeys the court's order, he Is held "In contempt" and is punished not for the crime, (which must be tried by the jury in a law court) but for disobedi ence of the- court's.orders. Anyone Could "Order." If ajn Equity court was stripped of Its power to .punish a criminal for refus ing to obey the court's order to not eom.mit the act until the court could in vestigate. then a street arab could, as well Issue the order, and he would have .as much power to enforce that order. .The courts established by the people must be supported hy the people'and empowered to protect the people else they had as well be dissolved. Notice now the thought line running thru all this Labor Trust movement against the courts. It reads plain enough. Every move is directed towards weakening the courts and therefore lessening tlie Takes Unusual Way ot Return ing Jefferson Man's Pocket book, Minus Money WAS ROBBED ON THE TRAIN The Affair Is Mysterious Thruout, Mr. E. H. Carter Being Able to Discover No Clue—Empty Pocketbook Re turned to Him Thru tha Poatmaster at Lincoln, Neb. Special to Times-Republican. Jefferson, Oct. 10.—Mr. E. H. Car ter, a retired business man of this city, is the loser of a roll of money, and a pocketbook, in which was oon •tained, besides the money, several notes and other valuable .paper. The losing of blie pocketbook Is not in the least extraordinary, 'but its return to Postmaster Turrill, from the Postmas ter at Lincoln, JJeb., and thence to the rightful owner—minus the roll of money—offers unexplained, mysterious circumstances. •A few days ago, Mr. Carter took a trip to Omaha over the Northwestern. Before leaving this city, he drew a large sum of money—several hundred dollars—and placed it in a bill book which he, always carried in his hip ipocket. As .the train was wearing Council BJufts, he suddenly discovered a slight decrease in weight in his pocket, and also that his roll of bills and pocketbook was gone. As no one had entered the seat -with 'him, lie was astounded. Calling the conductor, he .told .him of the loss and a careful search of the whole train was made. The porter was called to search, but it was all to no avail. There was abso lutely not the slightest clue to the mysterious disappearance. Again and again the car and-around the seat was gone over, but eaoh time the search ers met with -disappointment. At Council Bluffs Mr. Carter was forced to leave the .train, and much worried over his loss, returned home. Now comes the amazing 'pad:t of the affair. Yesterday 'morning Postmaster TurrMl, of this city, received a 'bulky .packet in an official envelope, and on opening it, was surprised to discover a 'bill-book in which was the name of Mr. E. 'H. Carter, of Jefferson, la. Mr. Carter' was at once called up and Identified it as the one .he had lost. A letter was enclosed from the post master at Lincoln, in which he stated that one of his city carriers had found the pocketbook in a mall box, and" had brought it to the postoffice, ac cording to rules. Aside from that there Is not the slightest clue. It is the belief of Mr. Carter, however, that some sly pickpocket took the book from him- {1 SsfeJ r*. r' tff'U. possibility of punishment of the paid sluggers and dynamiters.

There was a time when the old fashioned furnace was made of heavy cast iron sec-, tions placed one on top of another, and sealed at the Joints with asbestos cement. When heated the iron would expand and break the cement then the furnace would leak gas into the air chamber which would come' up Into the living rooms to pollute the atmosphere of the whole bouse. Then the "Intense heat of a furnace fire would very often crack the Are pot causing the fur nace to leak more gas and ashes into the house.

As compared to the old fashioned cast iron furnace this was largely true but not so now. Water or steam radiators in a room are veritable dust catchers. They simply can't be cleaned. They heat the air of a room over and over again and never contribute to the necessary venti lation of a house. Placed along the wall they create a circulation of air from the floor upwards carrying particles of dust to be deposited on the wall and soon dirty streaks appear on the wall above the radlaitor. These are things that can't be helped wherever radiators are used but with a. gas tight Lennox steel furnace the air of every room is changed every fifteen minutes, It is drawn down thru the cold air return pipes, mixed with the fresher air from the unoccupied rooms and returned heated and fresh. It Is ideal heat when all things are considered. The whole house can be thoroughly heated from one fire with less fuel than would be burned in stoves only half heating a house. A hot air furnace' costs mudh lesis to install than either hot water or steam, and Is actually cleaner when a Lennox steel furnace is used and gives to a house a "complete ventilating system when neither stoves nor any other heating system will do more than heat over and over again the foul, second-hand atmosphere of a room in which several 1 l,.-~ -f, '-f Lennox Torrid Zone steel furnaces have revolutionized the hot air furnace business.

Several Cases Disposed of During the Past Week. Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, Oct. 10.—Several cases have been disposed of this week in the term of court now being held here. The first jury trial was that of M. Newman vs. Sam Wallace, wherein Newman sued for $3,000 for alleged slander. The trouble seems to have arisen over the possession of a piece of cast iron which Wallace wanted to keep, but which Newman, who is a junk dealer, wished to buy. During the absence of Wallace, his tenant, Tom Fox, Jr.,. sold the iron in question to plaintiff, unknown to the defendant. Wallace afterward found the iron In Newman's possession, and accused him of stealing it. The jury was out four hours, and returned a verdict in favor of Newman for $100 and costs. John H.

I A Rural Traveler Tells of the Crisis lie Sometimes Faces at Noon FROM FAMINE TO PLENTY Fat Horses Promise Fried Chicken and Trimmings to Him But He Often Wishes That Women Would Not Ex ert Themselves to Get Ready Some thing Special 'For Uninvited Diner. Special to Times-Republican. Toledo, Oct. 10.—I .have ibeen so well entertained at meal times In this vicin ity that I am prompted to relate some of the experiences of a rural traveler, which have come to me. The problem of getting a dinner may seem com monplace to those who have never spent .months in constant rural travel ing, but there can be times when it amounts to a tragedy in real life. I am told that in pioneer days any and all travelers were welcomed at tho farm house in sparsely settled regions and entertained like an invited guest, because they brought the news from civilization, and broke the monotony of the prairie's desolation. But since then neighbors have settled on every quarter section, the dally papers ar rive every morning, and the telephone rings ©very few moments. The casual traveler, If he be a stranger, is now looked upon very much as a nuisance, somebody who merely causes extra work In the house. Of course, if a man is acquainted and can throw down the lines as he drives Into a farm yard with the familiar salutation "Hello, Bill! Did you know you wera going to have company for dinner?" his troubles are'nothing but joys. As I thlmk of these things 1 am re minded of an experience I had about three years ago last June. I drove into a farm yard hungry as a 'bear and a long ways from town. The boss, his eon and the hired man stood at the water tank watering three big, fat teams, always a. good sign to me. Whenever I (find a man's teaims sleek and fat, I am not afraid to take chances on his dinner table in the house. After the usual sparring for an opening, I suggested .that it was dinner time, and that .it would be a great 'blessing to humanity if he would provide some dinner for myself and driver. It was wash day, and his daughter had just returned from col lege and things were awfully mussed up, 4ut he would see his wife. From previous experience I did not dare trust him to go alone. Finally satisfactory arrangements were made and we were Invited "Into the room" where we dis cussed generalities languidly until somebody said, "Well, come in and get a bite such as it is." There spread be fore us was all thamtr season could afford, as good a dinner as could have been put up for us If we had received engraved invitations from the college bred daughter.

His particular accusation Is that a stran ger at a golf club finds It difficult to get into a match unless he Is willing to risk a money wager on the result. It will be remembered that a New York golfer was recently tried before Justice Gaynor on a charge of violating the antl-gambllng law by betting a box of golf bajls on the outcome of a match. The great vogue of golf makes per tinent a consideration of its influence on the morals of players. Is it Insid iously breaking down our conventional moral codo? Sober citizens who would not think of playing bridge on Sun day hurry away to the links after an early breakfast to take, part In matches on which there Is frequently a consid erable stake. Men who would resent the suggestion of playing bridge for money bet a ball "out" and a ball "In, with a third ball on the full round. If the match is a foursome there are fre quently side bets against the medal scores of the other players. A player doing a hole In a stroke less than bogey, in the cant of the links making a "birdie," extracts a tribute of a ball from each of his opponents. From three to a dozen balls, the equivalent of from $1.50 to $6, may .thus hang on the re sults of a match, the balls serving as convenient counters for a settlement made in cash. Are those who have the natloii's mor als in* their keeping aware of these de moralizing influences of the game?

They are often will o' the wisps, leading us long journeys for nothing. But "If what seemed afar^so grand—turn to nothing in the hatid "Onward still—the victory lies In the struggle, not the prize." The pleasure in in the game, not in the trophies. Hamilton Wright Mabie has re-stated .this old truth with a fresher suggestiveness: "The rewards of great living are not external. things, withheld until the crowning hour of success arrives, they come by the way—in the conscious ness of growing power and worth, of duties nobly met, and work thoroughly done. Joy and peace are by the way." The days of struggle for a foothold the building up of a business, the paying off a mortgage on the little home, the. beginnings of a household, when the children were babies, tiring their mother, yet with her and not scattered, as In theif adult years these were the happy days. Why did we not enjoy that time more? Why did we not earlier learn to relish the good of today? Why did he not pluck the flowers as we passed? Why did we not realize that, along the roadside of the years, were the best pleasures, the truest THE FARMER UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS. Slirts of Opinions opportunities, the sweetest .sat­ isfactions? Historical Criticism. (Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins.) It is astonishing how many people can be induced to accept old failures under new names. We have the ^old fashioned poke bonnet, with a brim pressed fiat, raging as a Merry idow. lust as we have an unlined long coat that we used to.call an ulster, selling freely under a new name. So the cen tury old naturalism, that produced generations ago nothing but unbeliev ers in the Bible, is now very fashiona ble. tho just as deadly, under the title of "Historical Criticism," and the un frocked Bishop Colenso has become a leader of 'the Lord's hosts and the dean and Colonel Ingersoll are yoked to gether on the theological dump cart I U\{ —Wilder C'- "A that is carrying Jonah and the whale to the cleaners. I It would seem that ut a -time when we never had so few students for the ministry In our seminaries, when city churches in so many Instances are selling their buildings and giving up the light, or throwing themselves on tho bounty of a missionary society when preachers squirm uncomfortably In their pulpits on account of a lonely array of empty pews, while they know every pleasure park in town Is gorged with men and women going to hell as fast as they can get drunk enough to starit—It would seem as tho in .times like those professedly Christian teach ers and preachers would recall how churches, only a little while ago fam ous for revivals, spiritual power and benevolence, are now struggling might and main to make both ends meet. The trouble Is and always will be that a denial of the supernatural cuts the foundation from under the church,! and It becomes no more a religious In stitution than a public school. If, as some atflrm, the present generation is losing its interest in religion, tho prin cipal reason Is that the average man and woman has enough during the week to destroy faith without going on Sunday to some church to hear a preacher who will finish the job. Sermons That Pleasa Lawyers. A lawyer in speaking before tho Baptist ministers' conference In Boston recently, proposed to the clergy there a method -of operation taken from his own profession. How would it work, he asked, if the preacher filed a brief of Ills sermon on, say, Friday, where it might be examined? This .is in* iml-j tatlon of cases In the highest court of Massachusetts, where' ''the rule prevails that attorneys shall file their briefs, that is, the outline of their argument, with their authorities In support of it, the day before the case is placed on the list for argument, and the oppos ing counsel is entitled to a copy." If such a rule were followed, he asks, "would it change the style of the ser mon, its subject. Its language, Its gen eral tone and line of argument, and would the sermon be prepared and filed on time without any unusual haste In its preparation?" The ques tions are'left for the ministers to an swer and are. only put at the end of a discourse on the subject of the kind of sermons lawyers like. The speaker, Mr. Frank K. Linscott, whose words are quoted in The Watchman, Boston, gives a sketch of a lawyer's day, and in the light of such a program tells the kind of a sermon that a lawyer would be likely to wish to hear on the day following. We read "Consider lor a moment a lawyer's diary, and become, as it were, a prac ticing attorney for a day. "The first caller is a bank president. A debtor of the bank is in financial straits, involving not alone thousands of the bank's money, but the solvency of other concerns and the reputation of business men. The lawyer, sum moning to his aid past experience, legal decisions,'statutes of this state and the other states, of the United States' and of England, decides on a course of action that brings his client the best-result DR. PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE FOOD An improved wheat food—for all per sons. The best food for children. obtainable under the circumstances. "Next, the brother of a man indicted for murder in the first degree brings in the report of an expert on insanity the defense decided upon. Bristling with technical words and theories, he considers it not alone for its intrinsic worth, its cross-examination value, but also its bearing upon other reports already received and as a foundation for his own cross-examination of op­ posing expert witnesses. "He is followed by a woman whose husband's unexpected death has sud denly burdened her shoulders with a going business, the strain which had caused her husband's death. Again the lawyer is called upon at once to plan a course of action that shall not alone at once bring the ship back to her course from which it his fallen off the Instant the harul at the wheel had loosened, but also shall be suffi ciently comprehensive to include the future care and development of the business. "At this point he goes to court to try a case. It is one on which he has put weeks of preparation, studying law, examining witnesses, nnd, it may be, goinii i»v«r the ground Itself. Op posed to hlin Is a lawyer who has given weeks to the preparation of the case from ihUfi standpoint. On the bench sits 'tl lawyer, whom we call Judge. In the Jury-box are twelve men, strangers to him, with only their faces and actions as Indices of their character. Unexpected turns In tha evidence, the construction of 'the law, bring surprises to him, and thru it all he must he prepared to prcservo bis client's rights. "It may be that Instead of the court house he goes to the great and gen eral court, there to take part In tho enactment of legislation, or, what In these days may be, as important, to prevent the enactment of bad legisla tion. "And tomorrow, by your vote, the lawyer may take seat in the exccutlvo chamber, there to execute the law which he has studied, which he has interpreted, and which he has as sisted in tho enactment." if when Sunday comes the lawyer, percliance, asks himself "what kind of a sermon he would like to hear, sim ply from his own personal selfish standpoint," somethlnk like the fol lowing might be the answer: "Would he not say. one that had the earmarks of a preparation such as he himself has been accustomed to give his own work? One that evidenced It by its logical continuity of Ideas, by the skilful choice of word or apt simile, by the ready flow of matured thought dressed in appropriate language, oven more by that subtle, Indescribable something that bears witness silently, but none the less surely, to the well thought-out discourse? "Would he not say one that was rich In practical purpose? It Is Incompre hensible, a law suit without a definite purpose. A suit In which one cent dam ages are awarded may determine the title to lands or goods worth thous ands. Even so, it is pleasing to the lawyer that the sermon should be ad dressed to the accomplishment of a purpose at once practical and worthy. Whether It shall be to present a new thought, to confirm an old one, wheth er to stir a mind new to the truth or to strengthen one who has long be lieved, whatever the motive, that there should be one In evidence and that a practical,, definite one Is an element that coincides with the legal mind and for that reason is pleasing. "And what shall wfc say in sincerity of the preacher and his earnestness? Here, again, can you imagine a suc cessful plea to a Jury.was not born of the conviction in the attorney's mind that he was laboring for the truth? Even more would the absence of sin cerity and earnestness in him who speaks for the truth, tf\at his hearers may be themselves truth-speaking and truth-acting, give to the sermon a hol lowness that all the fine arts of oratory could not conceal. "And then may I suggest that the legal mind may like a sermon which has within it, whether by way of sim ile, word picture, or line of reasoning, the markings of a mind that has looked at life in a broad way, that has famil iarized itself with the many shades of life around us, tljat has gone forth studiously, intelligently, charitably, to learn of others their mode of living, their ways of thinking, their weak nesses by nature, their .points of yield ing to surrounding influences, their ambitions, prejudices, latent possibil ities, and the thousand and one things that we are pleased to call environ ment 5*i.

Stem Befe JBB North Hmtm 8k But this was crude melodrama. Real izing which, he strove to smile a sor ry failure. "'Handsome Dan,'" quoted he and cocking his head to one side eyed the road inquiringly. "Where in thun der d'you suppose she got hold of that name?" Bestowed upon him in callow col lege days, it had stuck burr-like for many a weary year. Of late, however, Its use had lapsed among his acquain tances he had begun to congratulate himself 'upon having lived it down. And now it was resurrected, flung at him in slncerest mockery by a woman whom, to his knowledge, he bad never before .laid eyes upon. Odious appella-*! tion, hateful invention of an ingenious enemy! "'Handsome Dan!' She must have known me all the time—all the time I was making an exhibition of myself. 'Wentworth I know no one of that name. Who the dickens can she be?" If it had not been contrary to his code of ethics, he would gladly have raved, gnashed his teeth, footed the dance of rage with his shadow. In deed, his restraint was admirable, the circumstances considered. He did nothing whatever but stand still for a matter of five minutes, vainly racking his memory for a clue to the identity of "Miss Wentworth." At length he gave it up in despair and abstractedly felt for his watch fob. Which wasn't there. Neither, investi gation developed, was the watch At which crowning stroke of misfortune —the timepiece must have slipped from his pocket into the water while he was. tinkering with that infamous carbureter—Maitland turned eloquent ly red in the face. "The price," he meditated aloud, with an effort tJ resume his pose, "is a high one to pay for a wave if a gray glove and the echo of a pretty laugh." With which flnal fling at Fortune he set off again for Maitland Manor, trudging heavily but at a round pace through the dust that soon settled upon the damp cloth of his trousers legs and completed their ruination. But Maitland was beyond being dis turbed by .such trifles. A wounded vanity engaged his solicitude to the exclusion of all other interests. At the end of 45 minutes he had covered the remaining distance be tween Greenfield station and Maitland Manor. For five minutes more he strode wearily over the side path by the box hedge which set aside his ances tral acres from the public highway. At length, with an exclamation, he paused at the first opening in the living bar rier a wide entrance from which a blue-stone carriage drive wound away to the house, invisible in the waning light, situate in the shelter of the grove of trees that studded the lawn. "Gasoline! Brrr!" said Maitland, shuddering and shivering with the' combination of a nauseous odor and the night's coolness—the latter by now making itself as unpleasantly promi-. nent as the former. Thotfgh he hated the smell with all his heart, manfully inconsistent he raised his head, sniffing the air for further evidence and got his reward in a sickening gust. "T*nk leaked," he commented with brevity. "Quart of the stuff must have trickled out right here. Ugh! If it goes on at this rate, there'll be another breakdown before she gets home." And, "Serve her right, too!" he growled, vindictive. But for all his indignation he ac knowledged a sneaking wish thai he might be at hand again, in such event, a second time to give gratuitous serv ice to his gray lady. Analyzing this frame of mind (not without surprise and some disdain of him who weakly entertained it) he crossed the drive and struck in over the lawn, shaping his course direct for the front entrance of the house. By dead reckoning the hour was two, or something later and a chill was stealing in upon the land, wafted gently southward from Long Island ^&fc****iiii£ai&- co*r* iawr nor TM CHAPTER III. "Handsome Dan." Standing In the middle of the road, watching the dust cloud that trailed the fast disappearing motor car, Mr. Maitland cut a figure sufficiently for lorn and disconsolate to have distilled pity from the least sympathetic^ heart. His hands were thrust stiffly at full arm's length into his trousers pockets a rumpled Bilk hat was set awry on the back of his head his shirt bosom was sadly crumpled above the knees, to a casual glance, he presented the appearance of a man carefully attired in evening dress below, his legs were sodden and muddied, his shoes of patent leather, twin wrecks. Alas for jauntiness and elegance, alack for ease and- aplomb! "Tricked," observed Maitland, cas ually, and protruded his lower lip, thus adding to the length of a counten ance naturally long. "Outwitted by a chit of a girl! Dammit!" LAIM-WIMIILL to. sound. All the world beside himself' side the slightest movement ot the seemed to slumber breathless, in sensate. Wraith-like, gray shreds of mist drifted between the serried boles of trees, or, rising, veiled the moon's wan and pallid faoa, that now was low upon the horizon. In silent rivalry long and velvet-black shadows skulked across the ample breadths of dew drenched grass. Somewhere a bird stirred on its unseen perch, chirping sleepily and in the rapt silence the inconsiderable interruption broke with startling stress. .In time—not.long—the house-lifted Into View a Bquilt, rambling block ut home-grown architecture with little to recommend it save its keen associa tions and Its comfort. At the edge of the woods the lord and master^paused indefinitely, with little purpose, sur veying idly the pale, -columned" facade, anQ wondering whether or not his en trance at that ungodly hour would rouse the staff of house servants. If it did not—he contemplated with mild amusement the prospect of their sur prise when, morning come, they should find the owner in occupation. "Bannerman was right," be con ceded "any—" The syllables died upon his lips his gaze became fixed his heart thumped wildly for an Instant, then rested still and instinctively he held his breath, tip-toeing to the edge of the veranda the better to command a view of the library windows. These opened from celling to floor and should by right have presented to his vision a blank expanse of dark glass. But, oddly enough, even while thinking of his lawyer's warning, he had fancied. "Ah! said Maitland, softly. A disk of white light, perhaps a foot or 18 Inches in diameter, had flitted swiftly across the glass and vanished. "Ah, ah! The devil, the devil!" murmured the young man, uncon sciously. The light appeared again, dancing athwart the inner wall of the room, apd was lost as abruptly as before. On impulse Maitland buttoned his top- aat across his chest, turning up the 1 L. 1 At That Very Moment the 8afe Waa Being Attacked. collar to hide his linen, darted stealthily a yard or two to one side, and with one noiseless bound reached the floor of the veranda. A breath later he stood by the front door, where, at first glance, be discovered the means of entrance used by the midnight ma rauder the doors stood ajar, a black interval showing between them. So that, then, Was the way! Cau tiously Maitland put a hand upon the knob and pushed. A. sharp, penetrating squeak brought him to an abrupt standstill, heart ham mering shamefully again. Gathering himself to spring, if need be, he crept back toward the library windowq, and reconnoitering cautiously determined the fact that the bolts had just been withdrawn on the inside of one win dow frame, which was swinging wide. "It's a wise crook that provides his ow:n quick exit," considered Maitland. The sagacious one Was not, appar ently, leaving at that moment On the contrary, having made all things ready for a hurried flight upon the first alarm, the Intruder turned back, as was clearly indicated by the motion of the light within. The clink of steel touching steel became audible and Maitland nodded. Bannerman was in deed justified at that very moment tha safe was being attacked. Maitland returned noiselessly to the door. His mouth had settled into a hard, unyielding, thin line and a dan gerous light flickered in his eyes. Temporarily the idler had stepped aside, giving place to the real man that was Maitland—the man ready to fight for his own, naked hands against firearms, If it need be. True, he had but to step into the gunroom to ..find weapons in plenty but these must be then loaded to be of service, and precious moments wasted in the pro cess—moments in which the burglar might gain access to and make off with his booty. Maitland had no notion whatever of permitting anything of the sort to occur. He counted upon taking his enemy unawares, difficult as he be lieved such a feat would be, in the case of a professional cracksman. Down the hallway he groped his way to the library door, his fingers at length encountering its panels it was closed, doubtless secured upon the in- handle was calculated to alarm the housebreaker. Maitland paused, delib erating another and better plan, hav ing in mind a short passageway con necting library and smoking room. In the library Itself a heavy tapestry cur tained its opening, while an equally heavy portiere took the place of a door at the other end. In the natural order of things a burglar would overlook this. :1 J. Inch by inch the young man edged into the smoking room, the door to which providentially stood ancloeed. Another instant wasted, and it would be too late. The young man Wd to chance it. And he did, without further hesitation stepping boldly into the danger zoiie, at the same time making one flnal, desperate pass at the spot where the switch should have been—and missing it. On the Instant there came a click of a different cali ber from those that had preceded it. A revolver had been cocked, some where there in the blank darkness. Maitland knew enough not to move. In another respect the warning came too late his fingers had found the switch at. last, and automatically had turned it. The glare was blinding, momentari ly but the flash and report for which Maitland waited did not come. When his eyes had adjusted themselves to the suddenly altered conditions, he saw, directly before him and u" And so he stared, agape, until pres ently the weapon wavered and was lowered and the woman's voice, touched with Irony, brought him to his senses. "Oh," she remarked, coolly, "It's dnly you." Thunderstruck, he was able no more than to parrot'the pronoun "You— you!" "Were you expecting to meet any one else, here, to-iilght?" she inquired In suavest mockery. He lefted his shoulders helplessly, and tried to school his tongue to co herence. "I confess. Well, certainly I didn't count on finding you here, Miss WentWorth. And the black cloak, you know—" "Reversible, of course gray Inside, as you see—Handsor*e Dan!" The girl laughed quietly, .drawing aside an edge of the garment to reveal its in ner face of silken gray and the fluted ruffles of the gray skirt underneath. He nodded appreciation of the de vice, his mind now busy with specula tions as to what he should do with the girl, now that he had caught her. At the same time he was vaguely vexed by her persistent repetition of the ob solescent nickname. "Handsome Dan," he iterated all but mechanically. "Why do you call me that, please? Have we met before? I could swear, never before this night!" "But you are altogether too modest," ahe laughed. "Not that it's a bad trait in the character of a professional. Timea-llepmiKcajii ftterBhalltttuni ©ctotrer 10 1903 j— Once Within, It was but a moment's work to feel his way to the velvet folds and draw them aside, fortunately Without rattling the brass rings from which the curtain depended. And then Maitland was in the .passage, acutely on the alert, recognizing from the con tinued click of metal that his antagon ist-to-be was still at his difficult task. Inch by inch—there was the tapeBtry! Very gently the householder pushed it aside. An insidious aroma of scorching var nish (the dark lantern) penetrated the passage while he stood on its thresh old, feeling for the electric light switch. Unhappily he missed this at the first cast, and—heard from within a quick, deep hiss of breath. Some thing had put the burglar on guard. Bome feet distant, a woman's slight figure, dark cloaked, resolute upon Its two' feet, head framed in veiling, features effectually disguised In a motor mask whose round, staring goggles shone blankly in the warm white light. On her part, she seemed to recog nize him Instantaneously. On his. It may as well be admitted that, Maltland's wits were gone wool-gath ering, temporarily at least a state of mind not unpardonable when It is! taken into consideration that he was called upon to grapple with and simul taneously to assimilate three momen-j tous facts. For the first time in his life he found himself nose to nose with a revolver, and that one of able-bodied and respect-compelling proportions. For the first time in his life, again, he was under necessity of dealing with a housebreaker. But most stupefying of all he found the fact that this house breaker, this armed midnight maraud er, was a woman! And so it was not altogether fearlessness that made him to all intents and purposes ignore the weapon it Is nothing to his credit for courage If his eyes struck past the black and deadly mouth of the revolver and looked only into the blank and ex pressionless eyes of the wind mask It was not lack of respect for his skin's Integrity, but the sheer, tremendous wonder of It all, that rendered him oblivious to the eternity that lay the other side of a slender, trembling fin ger tip. But really! it seems a bit in­ credible that any one so widely ad vertised as Handsome Dan Anisty should feel surpise at being recog nized. Why, your portrait and biog raphy have commanded space in every yellow journal in America recently!" And, dropping the revolver into a pocket in her cloak, "I was afraid you might be a servant—or even Mait land," she diverted the subject, with a nod. "But—but if you recognized me as Anisty, back there by the ford, didn't you suspect I'd drop in on you—" "Why, of course! Didn't you all but tell me that you were coming here?" "But—" "I thought perhaps I might get through before you came, Mr. Anlsty but I knew all the time that, even if you did manage to surprise me—er— on the job, you wouldn't call the po lice." She laughed confidently, and —oddly enough—at the same time nervously. 4/ou are certainly a very bold man, tfnd as surely a very care less one, to run around the way you do without so much as troubling to grow a beard or a mustache, after your picture has been published broad cast." Did he catch a gleam of admiration in the eyes behind the goggles? "Now, if ever they get hold of my portrait and print Well!" sighed the girl wickedly, lifting slim, bare fingers In affected concern to the mass of ruddy hair, "in that event I suppose I shall have to become a natural blonde!" Her humor, her splendid fearless ness, the lightness of her tone, com bined with the half-laughing, half-Be rloua look that she swept up at him, to ease the tension of his emotioma. For I -y. the first time since entering the room, he smiled then In silence for a time regarded her steadfastly, thinking. So he resembled this burglar, Anls ty, strongly enough to be mistaken for him—eh? Plainly enough the girl be lieved him to be Anlsty. Well, and why not? Why shouldn't he be Anlsty for the time being, If it suited his purpose so to masquerade? It might possibly suit his purpose. He thought his position one uncommon ly difficult. As Maitland, he had on his hands a female thief, a hardened char acter, a common malefactor (stDange that he got so little relish of the terms!), caught red-handed as Malt land, his duty was to hand her over to the law, to be dealt with as—what she was. Yet, even while these consid erations were urging themselves upon him, he knew his eyes appraised her with open admiration and interest. She stood before him, slight, delicate, pret ty, appealing in her Ingenuous candor and at his mercy. How could he bring himself to deal with her as he might with—well, Anlsty himself? She was a woman, he a gentleman. As Anisty, however—if he chose to assume that expert's Identity for the nonce—he would be placed at once on a plane of equality with the girl from a fellow of her craft she could hardly refuse attentions. As Anisty, he would put himself In a position to earn her friendship, to gain—perhaps—her con fidence, to learn something of her necessities, to aid and protect her from the consequences of her misdeeds possibly—to sum up—to divert her footsteps to the paths of a calling less six hazardous and more honorable. Worthy ambition—to reform a bur glar! Maitland regained something of his lost self-esteem, applauding him self for entertaining a motive so laudable. And he chose bis course, for better or worse, In these few seconds. Thereby proving his incontestable title to the name and repute of Mad Mait land. His face lightened his manner changed he assumed with avidity the role for which she had cast him and which he stood so ready to accept and act "Well and good," he conceded with an air. "I suppose I may as well own up—" "Oh, I know you," she assured him, with a little, confident shake of her head. "There's no deceiving- me. But," and her smile became rueful, "If only you'd waited ten minutes more! Of course I recognized you from the first —down there by the river and knew very well what was your—lay you gave yourself away completely by mentioning the distance from the river to the Manor. And I did so want to get ahead of you on this job! What a with those lights? You seem to forget that there are servants lit the bouse. Really, you know, I'find you most ro-, mantically audacious, Mr. Anlsty— quite in keeping with your reputation." "You overwhelm me," he murmured.! "Believe me, I have nttle conceit in my fame, such aa it is." And, crossing to the windows, he loosed the heavy velvet hangings and let them fall to gether, drawing their edges close so tttat no ray of light might escape. She watched him with interest. "You seem well acquainted here." "Of course. Any man of imagina tion Is at pains to study every house he enters. I have a map of the prem ises—house and grounds—here."- He Indicated his forehead with a long forefinger. tured signflcantly toward the collec tion of burglar's tools—drills and chisels, skeleton keys, putty, and all—' —neatly displayed upon the rug before the massive safe. "You mean that you wish me to crack this safe for you?" he inquired, with inward consternation. "Not for me. Disappointment I ad mit is mine but not for the loss I sus tain. In the presence of the master I am content to stand humbly to one side, as befits one of my lowly state In —in the ranks of our profession. I re sign, I abdicate In your favor claim ing nothing by right of priority." "You are too generous," he mum bled, confused by her thinly veiled rid icule. "Not at all," she replied briskly. "I am entirely serious. My, loss of to day will prove my gain to-morrow. I look for incalculable benefit through study of your methods. My own, I confess," with a contemptuous toss of her head toward the burglar's kit, "are clumsy, antiquated, out of date. But then, I'm only an ama­ teur." "Oh, but a woman—" he began to apologize on her behalf. "Oh, but a woman!" she rapped out, smartly. "I wish you to understand that this woman, at least, is no mean—" And she hesitated. "Thief?" he supplied, crudely "Yes, thief! We're two of a feather, at that" BECOMING A OTHER Soltl by com rorts.

He stared, openly amazed, at this bewllderlngly feminine bundle of inconsistencies. With each facet of her character discovered to him, min ute by minute, the study of her be came to him the more engrossing. He drew nearer, eyes speculative. "I will agree," he said, slowly, "to crack the safe, but upon conditions." She drew back Imperceptibly, amused, but asserting her dignity.

[I•' The hauteur of ber pose, the sym pathy and laughter that lurked in her mouth, the manifest breeding in the delicate modeling of her nostrils, and the firm, straight arch of her nose, the astonishing allurement of her eyes, oomblned with their spirited womanli ness—these, while they completed the conquest of the young man. abashed him. He found himself of a sudden endowed with a painful appre ciation of his own imperfections, the littleness of his ego, the inherent coarseness of his masculine fiber, the poor futility of his ways, contrasted with her perfections. He felt as if re buked for some unwarrantable pre sumption. For he had looked into eyes that were windows of a soul and the soul was that of a child, un sullied and immaculate. You may smile but as for Maitland, he deemed it no laughing matter. From that moment his perception was clear that, whatever she might claim to be, however damning the circumstances in which she appeared to him, there was no evil in her. But what he did not know, aad did Is an ordeal which all women approach with dread, for nothing compares to the pain of child-birth.

(IjuulHvllle Hcsrald) "My bachelor neighbor lilted his chair to a comfortable position against the porch rail and asked, with an ap pearance Of carelessness, "Why is every one In such a hurry to see me mar ried?" I was darning stockings, and I snipped the edges from a ragged hole before I answered. "Because the right wife would make a success of a man like you." Any good man Is a better man for being married to the right woman. "Sympathy?" queried my bachelor neighbor thru half-closed eyelids. "No I said. "The reason a wife helps her husband is because she be lieves in him." How many husbands have you ,seen rise in the world just because a good wife stood back of them and kept say ing, "You can, I know you can." There are moments in every one's life when he loses confidence In himself and feels afraid of his own judgment. Then it Is that the wife who is the true helpmate gives him new strength, merely by believing in him. What can a man do unless some one believes 4n him? Where Is the man, married, or sin gle, who has not at some time In his life been thrilled with a desire to great deeds because of the unquestioned 1'alth of some woman? Then how much more the constant companionship of a wife must mean to the man who now and then feels that the life struggle is hardly worth while. "My bachelor friend threw away his cigar and his chair thumped down to "I think you exaggerate," said my "I think you xeaaggerate," said my bachelor friend. "Yet I don't mind tell ing you that tomorrow I'm going to be married to a woman who—be lieves."

This will be "The Rejuve nation of Aunt Mary" in which May Robson has the title role. It comes direct from the Studebaker theater, Chicago, where it has played to crowded houses nightly for the past three months. Miss Robson will be seen in this delightful comedy at the Odeon on Tuesday night, Oct. 13. Anne Warner, who wrote this pop ular novel, has dramatized the book, but in doing so has left out none of the comedy which was found in it, and It may be said has added more. Miss Robson while reading the book, was so pleased with it she persuaded Miss Warner to dramatize it for her, and* by doing so obtained a role su well suited to her that it is said to be one of tho best she has ever had. The play is divided into three acts. The first 'takes place at the home of Aunt Mary in the country, the second act is laid in the home of Jack's chum in New York City, and the last act at Aunt Mary's home in the country. The company supporting Miss Rob son has been carefully selected. The play has to do with the maiden aunt who has lived in the country all her life and who will have nothing to do with the city. She has a nephew, Jack, who is going to college in New York City, and is causing her all kinds of trouble and .money to keep him out of his scrapes. He gets Into one in which he beats up a cabman, who is taken to the hospital. To get out of this Jack goes to his aunt for five hun dred dollars, and while there Aunt Mary's lawyer arrives and informs her the girl whom Jack met in Chicago, and who comes from Kalamazoo, has sued him for twenty-five thousand breach of promise. Aunt Mary becomes very angry, and sends Jack away, say ing she will not pay one penny. •On his arrival in New York City, Jack is expelled from college. He goes to live with his chum, Bob, and while there falls in love with Bob's pretty sister, Betty. The boys are giving Betty a birthday party when a tele gram arrives saying Aunt Mary is on her way to the city. They rush off to meet her, but in some way miss the train, and Aunt Mary arrives alone, The party is then given in honor of Aunt Mary, after which they suggest an automobile ride. Aunt Mary thor oughly enjoys this. After spending a week in the city she returns to the country, only to 'find life loo slow there for her, so she sends for Betty and when Jack arrives and) confesses his love for Betty. Aunt Mary forgives him and they all go back to the city to live. Seats on sale for this engagement Monday at 10 a. m. Prices 50, 75, $1.00 and $1.5-0. WILL GIVE BANQUET.

Housework is harder on the stout* woman than it is on her leaner sister for very obvious reasons. Bending over brings on that awful stuffed-up feeling and causes her face to get red and coarse looking. As a result many fat women, naturally good housekeep ers, let their homes go rather than per mit the work to make their lives a mis ery. A good many try exercising and diet ing to get rid of the fat, but I want to say here that if housework will not take off your extra flesh,'exercising can not. Housework is the most strenuous kind of exercise. I recommend every woman who reads this with interest, because it deals with a problem of her own, to give up ex ercising and dieting as being bad and injurious, and instead try tho following simple mixture of household remedies. I guarantee that in a reasonable length of'time they will have lost enough flesh in a natural, wholesome way to enable them to go thru their housework with pleasure and comfort to themselves. This home receipt is as follows: ounce Marmola, ounce Fluid Cascara Aromatic, and 3\'s ounces Peppermint Water, and the directions for taking are one teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. Now. don't make the mistake of thinking ithat because these three things aro simple home rcn-.cdies the combination of them can't be good for reducing the flesh, for as a matter of fact I don't believe there is a better combination for taking off fat quick ly and safely .than the one I have given you above. It does not disturb the stomach or cause wrinkles, and it ren dei-s dieting and exercising entirely un necessary. In addition to these ad vantages, which I am sure you will ad mit are enough to recommend it to any woman, it is inexpensive and easily ob tainable at any drug store.

Hats make excellent breeding placos for the parasitic germs which sap the life from the roots of the hair. When your hair begins to fall out and your scalp Is full of dandruff It is a sure sign that these countless germs are busily at work. There Is but one way to overcome the trouble and kill the germs—that way is to apply Newbro's Hcrpiclde to the scalp—it will kill the germs and healthy hair is sure to result.

BUY CLOTHING HERE Pappe Drawing Trade From an Un usual Distance—Business Good This Fall—What the Famous H. S. A M. Clothes Are Doing for This 8tore. "Business has been unusually good with us this fall," said Henry Pappe, "and I'm going to Chicago tonight, where I will purchase additional stock to complete my already depleted lines. I expect to bring these goods back with me. I have found that it always pays to handle the most dependable clothing to be bought and to always treat my customers fairly. I have been In business since 1876 and I think I am justified In taking some pride in the •fact that I am now drawing trade from a greater distance than ever before in my career. People who come to our store from forty miles distance must Jiave a reason for doing so. Don't you think so?" Mr. Pappe handles the cel ebrated Hart Schaffner Marx clothes and they have been widely her alded as tile smartest tailored gar ments. Mr. Pappe says he can not too highly recommend those clothes and his own guarantee as well as that of the makers Is back of them. The same thing may be said of every brand he carries in both the men's and women's departments. One of the satisfactory things about the lines carried said Mr. Pappe is the splendid selection. I don'.t care what build a man is, whether tall or short, thick or thin, boy or man he can al ways get a fit and he can- get the quiet, conservative kind of clothes made In the same splendid way and from the same fine materials. Or he can get the clothes with the little links that dis tinguish them from the ordinary and delight the hearts of the dressy chaps who know style and shnartness from the outlandish imitations oi^e some times sees.

Resolution Unanimously Adopted. The committee on resolutions, com posed of Captain Shaw, Israel Gregg and J. H. H. Prisboe, reported the fol- lowing, which was unanimously adopted: "We, the Fremont voters of 1856 of Marshall county, Iowa, in convention assembled, rejoice In tho privilege that we are about to again enjoy supporting the principles of the republican party as exemplified In tho administration of Theodore Roosevelt, and declared by the present national republican plat- form! That it has been our priv'ilego imore Local Comment Every citizen in Marshalltown can rejoice that the Iowa Central strike htys ibeen ended. The struggle had begun to tell severely upon the combatants and It was time to quit fighting. Each side had had enough or ought to have felt that way about it, for the unpaid store bills about town and the Indi vidual instances of distress coming to light, told of the cost to many a wo man at home. On the other hand the road has suffered terrific punishment, having paid out thousands of dollars to ir competent labor, while its equip ment has been almost Incapacitated. With winter coming on many families •would have suffered and "the road would probably have been tied up by the first severe storm. It is fortunate all around that the end of the Strugs gle has come. It is what everybody has wanted to see. The Times-Republican has never been able to understand just what the controversy was, owing to the con fiicbing clahns of the men and of the company. At .first, when the men went out this newspaper attempted to pub lish 'the specific contentions of each side, and the management of the road •felt very much aggrieved at these news reports. Later when assaults were made by strikers and their sym pathizers upon strike breakers, this newspaper published what happened, and Incurred the displeasure of some of the men, but it is reasonably cer tain that with each interested party demanding more favoritism, the public has been given the facts in the news as nearly correct as could be ohtained by any human agency. Even then the •cause of the strike has never been quite clear, and it is a reasonable as sumption that it ought never to have ocourred. The company has demon strated that it placed more than usual •importance upon its own contention or it never would have stood the financial punishment it has received by this strike. On the other hand the men have demonstrated fuMy that it will be cheaper in the long run to pay them even higher wages than to stand a strike. They go back with their or ganization intact at a time when the shop employes of the C. P.

XVZ General Trend of the Market Has Been Downward, This Week HOGS ARE 10 TO 15 LOWER Demand Poor From All Classes of Buyers and Trade Has Dragged in That Market—Steady Tone in Sheep But Market Inactive—Lambs Suffer Big Slump. Chicago, Oct. 10—Cattle were steady trado Is not closing under very good conditions, for, while shipping demand has ibeen the life of trade hero this week, packers and local buyers have not been active, and the general trend of tile market lias been downward. More cattle were received this week than the trade needed especiiUly con sidering the poor quality of tho con tributions. The market was not so bad, all things considered. Early in the week a distinct depression was noted for the market was flooded and all tho advantage was on buyers' side. Over 34,000 arrived on Monday, which was tan Players. Special to Tlmos-Republlcan. Iowa City, Oot, 10.—With the first college contest scheduled today, the faculty took a hand In Iowa's foot ball prospects yesterday and when the list of certified players wa»s presented to Coach Catlin, It waa founc^ that two and possibly three were nipped by tho professops, The playing of two men de pends on further investigation by the faculty, unexpected supply when there was nothing in last week's trade to warrant a liberal run. It is evident that tho country is Impatient to unload the common and medium cattle before it becomes necessary to put them on a corn diet Buyers said the quality of Uie cattle received this week was about tiie poorest of the year. It was mainly due to that fact that the prices of the good steers' were held up so well. About all the cattle above the $6.50 line arc as high as a week ago, and the next lower grades at $6#6.50 do not show much change. The great bulk of the week's re ceipts consisted of the common to medium light weight steers which buy ers said did not have good dres^ng ability and most of the time they were seriously neglected and stand about 10@20c lower than a week ago. Monday's big receipts knocked tho props from under the trade for about all kinds of cattle, but on Wednesday the market started to straighten up and at the close of the week the good and even fairly good steers suitable for eastern shipments got back about all that they lost. There was no chance for the light weight stuff to recover for they were numerous every day. Good yearling steers were popular all week, but they had to be good. Buy ers did not want the common year lings except at very low rates. Top for the week was $7.50, paid for a nice load of yearlings from Iowa. Receipts for the week total about 75,000, aigainst 56,000 last week and 87,000 a year ago. From the looks of these figures cattle were coming to market freely this time last year. Trad ers are looking for a pretty good run of cheap stuff next week. Hogs. Hogs were 10(fil5 Lcuwcr demand was poor from all classes and trade dragged. On -mixed stuff the influence of new •oorn as in more pronounced evidence daily and it .is plain 'that it is .being fed freely to young hogs. Supply has been liberal this week, the marketward movement showing a decided tendency to expand. Insitead of 100,000 for the week, as packers expected, -there will be about 125,000. The six western markets report about 290,000 in five days, which is 70,000 more than a year ago and 40,000 more than last week. With shippers -taking bu.t 30 per cent of their purchases a year ago, the sharp decline in prices is logical. A year ago the market was as s-lumpy as lit Is now, but prices were some what higher, the 7-cent hog being in circulation and packers paying. $6.40 @6.60 for the ibulk of their purchases. Sheep.
