SUPREME COURT CONVENES TO PROBE RACE TRACK CASES the to al in New York Racing Sports Can See Their Finish. RACE OFFICIALS FACE INDICTMENTS Grand Jury Has Also Severely Scored the Police Department for Inactivity. Extraordinary Session of Supreme Court Held. Hearst News Service. New York, August 24.—In compu ance with the call of Governor Hughes, an extraordinary trial term of the Bu preme court of Kings county will be commenced tomorrow, with Judge Watson M. Rogers of Watertown, iW gambling cases. In the ^indictments P| it is charged that the^rheing officials r;:: raar rr.r. k ,i 'r-HrorrsI ment for inactivity and recommended the repeal of section 11, chapter 507, Laws of 1908, by which the penal code is suspended in application to the tracks. The presentment says in part: "Although the new law went into ef feet on June 11, we found that it had been openly and flagrantly violated on the grounds of the Coney Island Jock ey club. We found bets were made on a large scale with little attempt at con cealment. Evidence brought before us convinced us that the same flagrant violations were being repeated at the Brighton track. Conditions revealed by the testimony disclosed such a serl ous situation that we appointed com mittees to make visits to the race course, Reports of our members show e/d that the evidence given in testimony was not exaggerated. "While these violations were being so generally printed the. police who were detailed at the track, far from R doing their duty, were making no ef fort to enforce the law. ti that for a short period the police had B been active, but at a certain point their B activity ceased. We found that the opportunities for gambling were among K, the attractions upon which the man E agers of the race course relied to at tract crowds, and also that a large percentage of the receipts constituting H the income of the association is the result of gambling on the courses. It |t: was not hard to discover the reason Efe why the officials were inactive in their Bs, efforts to prevent gambling. It was clear that in the proportion that gam bling was reduced the profits of the association would be reduced. "Officials of the racing association B. had ample authority to suppress gam We found When You Can Get High grade and abso lutely Pure Food pro ducts here for as little money as you have been paying for the other land, don't you think it would be economy to buy here?

By the mere exclusion of pro fessional gamblers all public gambling could have been readfly stopped, and the new law enforce ference of the police. "Instead of using /these means the racing officials sought in every pos sible way to evaderesponsibility and to give opportunity, without incurring liability themselveh, to the profession al bookmaker am> other gamblers to ply their vocations. "The consequence was that each day the racetrack became a rendezvous for lawless persons who assembled there in large numbers with the avowed pur pose of violating the law, and were encouraged and assisted by the rac ing officials." The presentment states that follow ing these disclosures the grand jury called on the police department for the proper enforcement of the law, with the result that the change in the police system at the track was made July 18, without inter since when, it is stated, vigorous has been done andjwwJfftltfffs'Tiave changed. The document continues: "We oim scarcely believe that the great bc^f^of the citizens of the state of New York are aware of the extent L^f^l ||pf| pnn 1 (lYl/PflO L I U 11 L I 11/ I Jl'Uf f |"lf V l I Mid run LAW lino mfh np n n rt 11111 P I fTpn' 1 rp |lg UL |j|J||ftfl| |l|JI|L|l III IU DL r nUMULUA ILU AI NATIONAL BAR MEETING Many important legal questions will come up for discussion during the week. It is likely that Judge TafFs recent speech before the Virginia Bar Association will be considered, as It has admittedly created a' profound ef feet upon the lawyers of the country. One of the most important features of the convention will be the presen tation of the Anal report of the com mittee on rules of conduct for lawyers, which will include a complete code of ethics to govern the legal profession in its dealings with clients and its du ties to the put 11c. The proposed canon of professional ethics maintains that lawyer may de fend a client whom ho knows to -e guilty only to the extent of being sure .hat the'defendant is accorded all of Inj lights under the law. Advertising is prohibited, and the Instigation or stirring up of litigation Is roundly de nounced Hearst News Service. Seattle, Wash,, August 24.—Legal lights of the land are today congre gating in Seattle for the annual con vention of the National Bar Associa tion, which begins tomorrow. Some of the most distinguished lawyers of the country are already here and every train brings additional delegates, who are given a cordial reception by the at torneys of Seattle and Washington. Despite the distance of Seattle from the center of population, It Is likely that the attendance will be quite up to the usual standard. nounced One of the most striking clauses of the canon declares that "when a law yer renders service to any client, cor porate or individual, or to any cause, civil or political, that Involves disloyal-i ty to the law, he merits stern condem-1 nation." The report is signed by Alton B. Parker, former chief Judge of the New York state court of appeals; Justice Brewer of the supreme court of the United States; Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States court In Alabama; J. M. Dickinson, president of the American Bar Association; George R. Peck and William Wirt Howe, former presidents of the association, and Fran cis Lynde Stetson, president of the New York Bar Association. The report Is a result of a three days' session of the committee held in Washington. In twenty-seven states of the union there are codes of ethics more or less complete, which exist as a result either of codification by statutory enactments of some of the duties of lawyers or of the action of bar associations there in in adopting canons of professional ethics. For some years past members of the bar associations have advocated a movement which would culminate in an authoritatively declared standard of professional conduct, which will not only serve as a guide to the youth ful practioner, but will place the profession before the public in its true light and thereby free it from public criticism and censure, which have at times been bestowed upon it as a re sult of the misconduct of unworthy men who have found their way into to which these racing associations have been hedged about and protected by special laws, so that they could dare to connive at the violation of this law on a large scale on their premises, and at the same time escape such police discipline and other amenability to the penal laws an would apply to the Instance of any other corporation or any other body of citizens doing the same thing. We think that the attention of the .governor of the state of New York ought to be called to this matter, that these laws may be revised to the end that these racing associations and their managers should be held amend able to the criminal laws for ti.efr acts the same as any other eAtlzens. "We therefore, requwtff that a copy of this presentment. Y>e ernor. y ''We al^o-Relieve hat this practice "ing these racing associations sent to the gov of per to^jypfiolnt special policemen who be work^fcome public officers by reason of such appointment, Is a bad one, and should be discontinued. Public officers should only be appointed by the public, and should be amenable to the public and controlled through public agencieB." "The foundation of the draft for cannons of ethics Is the dode adopted by the Alabama State Bar Association In 1887. This draft represents our best present judgment after a most careful consideration of the subject," says the committee In its report. Finishing Its report the committee commends for adoption the following oath of admission to the bar, as con taining clearly the general principles which should ever control the lawyer in the practice of his profession: I do solemnly, swear: I will support the constitution of l* 16 United States and the state of I will maintain the respect due to courts of justice and judicial officers: I counsel and maintain only such actions, proceedings and defenses as appear to me legally debatable and J u8t except the defense of a person charged with a public offense; I will employ for the purpose of maintaining the causes confided in me BUC h means only as are consistent with truth and honor, and will never seek to mislead the judge or jury by any yti A ce or fsl s e statement of fact or law, 1 wiI1 maintain the confidence and preserve Inviolate the secrets of my c»ent, and will accept no compensation in connection with his business except from him or with his knowledge and approval; I will abstain from all offensive per or sonality and advance no fact prejudl c a l to the honor or reputation of a party or witness, unless required by of the justice of the cause with which I am .charged; I wfll never reject, from any consid eration, the cause of the defenseless or oppressed, nor delay any man's cause f° r lucre or malice.

When a medical authority of the standing of Dr. Woods Hutchinson places his name over the statement that a teaspoonful of milk, if absolute ly germless when drawn handled In the ordinary barn or cow shed, then carried to the ordinary dairy, milk room or cellar, show at the end of the' flrst hour three thousand germs, of the third fifteen thousand, the sixth, forty-five thousand, the ninth one hundred thousand, and the twelfth, two hundred and fifty thousand—.then ask any housekeeper if she can es timate the population of that innocent looking milk pitcher, and if she has any Idea of how many far from inno cent organisms enter the baby every time it applies to the milk bottle? If those germs would only expire after they enter the child's throat,— but they ton't. "These germs," says luthority, "setting up putre it! will, If is we the same faction changes in the milk, continue these changes In the food canal 6f the This turns digestion and nu child. trltion into a process of self-poisoning, the child dwindles and droops, and the first milk Infection that happens to at tack It carries it off." Dr. Hutchinson Is evidently a fair He does not condemn minded man. the cow nor her milk, but praises both. What he does blame Is the additions to the milk made or caused by the peo ple who handle it. He emphasizes the statement that "ninety per cent of the injurious effects of milk are due to the germs contained in plain, common dirt, barnyard manure, from the sides of the cow, the hands of the milker, the dust of the stable and the barnyard." Thus the owner of the dairy may be perfectly Innocent of evil indentions and yet- cause more misery than the criminal who disregards (the brand of Cain. ,In the large cities of the east where milk lns|>ectlon is rigidly enforced, a great many dairies have found it to their material advantage to introduce the sanitary precautions prescribed by «xperts on the subject.

Then, a few minutes before the milking begins, a man goes down the line with a pall of water and a damp cloth, wipes the udders and quickly moistens the hair of the flank on the .side on which the milker sits. It is. of course, a necessity that all manure should be removed from the neighbor hood of the barn at least once a week, and preferably daily, and that the cattle should not be allowed to stand or run in any yard in which there mud or bogs of liquid manure, or filth of any description, which they can get upon their legs or sides.

If not, follow the Justly celebrated advice of Punch. "Dont!"l Talk about deserted villages.

We have it at times, but It is not a regular thing. We have broad streets here ard these streets are paved with asphalt, and after the sun has beaten down on these pavements, the heat from below equals the heat from above.

The Hattiesburg (Miss.) News says it has no Intention of quitting' the game Just to gratify envious contem poraries or jteople who have predicted Its demise. The News Is a rattling good newspaper, and Is a credit to the city In which it Is published—Atlanta Georgian. Am as Humble as I Know How. The Hattlespurg News thus adjures Editor Vqrdaman. of The Issue, at the conclusion of a comment on his strained relations with the Governor: "He made a serious mis'ake, however, when he threw the weight of his In fluence to Noel In the second primary last year, and he ought to be gener ous enough to confess the fact." Bo generous, James K.—walk up to the mpurners' bench and 'fess up. We, quite as big a sinner, will go with you.—Vicksburg Herald. I thought I 'fessed up" last week, but If anybody thinks there was any mental reservation In the Teasing, I am perfectly willing for Capt. Mc Nellly, of the Herald, to write out the confession and I will sign It. This ,whole matter reminds me of an Inci dent that occurred with an old friend of mine many years ago in Carroll County. This friend was a big, bare foot, overgrown country boy about nineteen years of age. He had been attending a campmeeting In the neigh borhood for several days. Hearken ing unto the appeals of the preacher, he had gone to the mourners' bench, and after one or two trances, In which the "boy had crossed hell on a raw cotton string," without a realizing sense of complete forgiveness, the preacher approached him one day and said: "My brother, have you found peace In your bouI at last?" The boy with tears running down his cheeks and nose red from crying and a perpet ual cold, looked up at the preacher and replied: "No, this hour seems darker than any I have experienced since the meeting began." "Ah! brother," said the preacher, "you must humble your self. You must get down Into the very dust of humility." 'The penitent boy brought from his pocket a much used handkerchief, rubbed his nose, and with a -voice, half-choked with sob bing, said to the preacher: "Parson, I am humble as a damned dog." If, any thing else Is needed to put me right before the people of Mississippi, I do not know what to do. Just name It by o' $1. at tf and I will do 1L"— Vb» issue. jipon it. Horses It It was so much g instance of this a transfer com dangerc hoofs si tar. A! was afl ■move one of the the freight ware pany up giant mol house to the treasury building. Fair progress was made until the asphalt was struck on Pennsylvania avenue. Then the wheela of the great truck simply sank Into the asphalt, and twenty-four horses were unable to budge It! There was nothing left to dc but to wait until the asphalt had hard ened during the cool hours .of the night. Just at daylight the next morn ing, twenty-two horse* were attached to the truck and succeeded in moving it merrily along. There are thirty of these monoliths to be placed In position along the east front of the treasury building. They are of granite and are duplicates of the sandstone columns now being tak en down. Each weighB about twenty tight tons, and each cost about $5,000. The new monoliths are expected to last practically forever, but the old sandstone columns have been crum bling for the last few years, and It was only a, question of a few years more until thqy would have become so dis integrated by the elements that they would have become a real danger. There Is a very general desire on the part of Washington people to make some monumental use of the old col umns. Many and various suggestions are being made. Some desire them ar ranged In the form of a court of honpr In one of the parks, urged that they be used asy an orna ment in the White Lot back of the White House. A third suggestion Is that they be set up along Pennsylva nia avenue. The problem Is In the hands of Col. Charles S. Bromwell, superintendent of public buildings and grounds. Another has is Speaking of the use of old mono liths, some one has facetiously suggest ed that they might be placed on top of the lid that Is being urged fpr the national capital. It is generally ac knowledged by Washingtonians and by Washington visitors that If there is one thing Washington needs more than anything else, it's a lid. Sunday here is a day of riotous'ex citement. People stroll recklessly, morning and evening, up and down! Connecticut and Pennsylvania ave- j nues, and along "F" street, and with I utmost abandonment, gaze In at the: shop windows and recklessly Indulge I In BOda water and Ice cream. Young men have been seen boldly to enter cigar stores and other evil resorts and making their exits viciously puffing cigars and cigarettes. The street cars run here all day Sunday, and the church bells add their clamor to the din of this day, that should be kept quiet and sacred as a day of rest. In view of the uproar and disturbances that ever mark the Sab bath day here, several bills were intro duced at the last session of congress, providing for a spatial lid. None of them succeeded In passing. It Is ex pected, however, that something deflh Ite will be accomplished next session. It must be admitted that the present state of affairs Is all but intolerable.

A crowd of humanity some several thousand strong, which came from every nook and corner of Hattiesburg, and the surrounding country, endeav ored to gain admittance to the New Gem Theater. To avoid danger of at. accident from such a large crowd of people, and preventing any one from being Jammed in the crowd, Manager Hirsch was compelled to stretch ropes' across the doors, in order to stop the mad rush of the people to gain admit tance. Two hundred and fifty people were admitted at one time after which those who did not gain admittance were compelled to wait outside in the lobby for the next performance. In (hie way the crowd of several thou rand people all got to see the. per formance, and thpre was not an acci dent or mikhap during the entire even ing, and every one went away highly praising the performance they had and the comfort accorded them by Manager Hirsch.

Three of the Boys Were in Prison Charged With Robbing Mc Leod's Store.

SOME FINE WORK BY TWO POLICE OFFICERS POT'S GO THIS One Boy Escaped Who Was Working Out Fine—Captured In a Church Neai* Bonhomie by Officers Tom Moore and Mack Doherty. OF men, the tive by the News Three young white lads broke out of the city Jail last night but their lib erty was of short duration. The escape was effected about 9 o'clock and the lads climbed through a hole in the grating over the door on Forrest street. It was a very small hole, whereit) the lower corner of the grating, one short piece, had been re moved.* The escape was soon noted and Of ficers Tom Moore and Mack Doherty were assigned to the case. They had an idea that the boys would go down the Northeastern and the officers went down on a train to Richburg where they searched for them without success, started to getting thei'e they noticed a church building and the thought occurred to the officers that it wouldn't be a bad idea to look inside the church. This they did and found three of the boys there—two of whom had berti con cerned In the robbery of the McLeod store. The boys found were: Clarence Miller, Joe Llewellyn, and George Met Gowan. The latter was not Implicated in the robbery, but had been working oht a fine for the city for carrying con-1 cealed weapons. With the "boys was found another valise taken from the McLeod store and containing a lot of dry goods such as they had in the two grips In their possession when first arrested a few days ago. The boys had filled a third valise and had hid it out in the grass or weeds and they told that another party, whom they did not know, was with them and had gotten a valise and filled it. This was not believed by the police and the fact that the boys went and got the valise when they got out of Jail, Is considered good proof that no one else was with them. The goods In the last valise amounted to about $45 In value, as stated at the store from which they were taken. Lonnie Vance, who constituted the nird one of the youthful robbers was found at his home In this city this morning. In addition to the charges against them, the boys will now have to an swer the charge of Jail breaking. The tracing down of the boys In such a short -time Is considered a good piece of detective work. The case against the three boys for robbery was set for 2 o'clock this af ternoon In Justice Wall's court, the cases going to the state.

ADVERTISING SPACE is about the lowest-priced thing of value you can buy in this city. This phrase of the matter probably never occured to you. But think it over. Suppose that the rate for want ad vertising in this newspaper were one dollar a word! A prohibitive rate, you say? Perhaps, for some classes of business. But if you were compelled to sell real estate, a dollar a word for an ad. would still be a profit-returning rate for you if it found the best market for your property. It would be a cheap rate for a Situation Wanted ad. if it found twice as good a job for you as you have ever had. It would be a profitable way to secure a tenant for vacant property. In fact, perhaps half of the want ads. would pay th advertisers at a dollar a word- and a great many o f *hem would be paid for at that rate if this newspaper c arged

Hearet News Service. Denver, August 24.—Solemn, serious, sad-eyed men, who daily toll with shears and pen to make a joke, a verse, a pun, or paragraphic bit of fun, today by scores swooped sadly down to hold ^'wake ln Denver-town. In other words, the mile-high city Is today sorely afflicted by a visitation from the fun-makers of the nation, who are here for the annual session of the American Press Humorists' As sociation. As a result the usual care free atmosphere of the town has be come surcharged with a deep and abid ing gloom. Behind curtained windows women and children are weeping and strong men can scarcely restrain their grief, while the ministers are declaring that wicked Denver ,1s being scourged by Providence for its sins. The convention opened today is the sixth annual funeral of the organiza tion which Isn't dead yet. Among the members are Mark Twain, Whitcomb Riley, "Bob" Burdette, Charles Battell Loomis, Edmund Vance Cook, Holman F. Day, John Kendrick Bangs, W. D. Nesblt, S. W. aillilan, Duncan- N. Smith W. J. Lampton, George Fitch, Robertus Love, Henry Edward Warner -and Al fred J. Waterhouse. Frank Thompson HRE CHIEFS Hearst News Service. Columbus, 0., August 24.—Heads of Are departments In large cities throughout the United States _ and Canada are arriving today anct will begin a convention tomorrow, at wich topics connected with the bet terment of th% Are fighting system will be discussed. SOLICITORS WANTED. Six good solicitors, ladles or gentle men, can earn big money working for the Hattiesburg News. Most attrac tive premium proposition ever offered by a Mississippi newspaper. Call for the circulation manager at the Dally News Office. Searight, of Lob Angeles, la president of the association. S. E. Kiser, the well-known humorist of the Chicago Record-Herald, is vice-president, and Judd Mortimer Lewis, of the Houston Post, Is secretary-treasurer. It was orglnally Intended to hold this year's convention ln Houston, ln order that the humorists might have an opportunity to make the acquaint ance of the red-haired widows and other products of Grand Old Texas made famous by Mr. Lewis, but the Illness of the latter rendered necessary a change ln the plans The newspaper men of Denver have made every ar rangement to render the visit of the humorists as pleasant as possible. The association was organized ln Balti more In 1903 and has members ln near ly every large city of the country. The popular conception that funny men are usually fat is disproved by an Inspection of the delegates to today's convention. Most of them are lean and pale and sorrowful, and about as joy ful, at first glance as a gang of under takers. It Is alleged ln their behalf, however, that they are really funnier than they look. Denver folk will have an opportunity to decide that question for themselves, as one of ths big fea tures of the convention will be a pub lic meeting, at which the chief kid derg of the nation will recite their funniest peoms and stories. DIARRHOEA There is no need of anyone suffer ing long with this disease, for to effect a quick cure it is only neces sary to take a few doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient. It never fails and can be relied upon In the most severe and dangerous cases. It Is equally val uable for children and is the means of saving the lives of many children each year. ln the world's history no medicine has ever met with greater success. PRICE 25o.

Tommy's Discovery* By Martha Cobh Sanford. Copyrighted, 1908 by Associated Literary Press. For a small periodical the Literary Leaflet bad a remarkably well equip ped force. It employed au editor ln chief, an assistant editor, a Action ed itor, a household editor, a receiving editor, a stenographer and a general office boy. Frederick Mallory Mason, A. B., was the editor ln chief, and Tommy (last name and degree of education wanting) was the general office boy. Margaret Van Amburgh, B. M. (bache lor maid), held all the other positions. This able trio kept things moving amicably—a state of affairs due to the editor's never falling good nature, to Tommy's love of the ludicrous and to Miss Van Amburgh's—well, to her com bined prettiness and extraordinary ability. Into the midst of this center of ac tivities on one; particularly exacting afternoon a minute piece of pasteboard forced Its polite Intrusion. Tommy handed It to Miss Van Amburgh with a reminiscent grin. "She told me," he announced, "to give It to ML Mason, hut I promised the boss not to let any one get by me this afternoon. She came near It, though. Say, but she's a winner!" Silas Van Amburgh glanced at the name, dropped her work and. Ignoring Tommy's gratuitous observations, went out to meet Miss Elizabeth Greene. "something's up. thorest. I'll bet my meal ticket." "Tommy," reproved Miss Van Am burgh, with'dignity, "you are not em ployed to pass comments on Mr. Ma-. son's visitors. Copy these letters.!' "Mark my words." he muttered as he moistened the copying sheets, "she's got the boss faded—sure." And It looked so when an hour Inter the mysterious visitor, smiling, but with tear stained eyes, loft the office, followed by the attentive editor. "Just close up the day's business as best you can. Miss Van Amburgh," In trueted Mr. Mason ln passing. "I shall not be back this afternoon."

It his

"Wot did 1 tell yer?" boasted Tom my, but Miss Van Amburgh wgs too busy to answer. Things went, badly ln the office of the Literary Leaflet the next day. The editor ln chief was noticeably dis traught. He dictated In au absent minded manner and again left the of fice early, offering no explanation of this most unusual proceeding. Tommy waited until the door closed tight and then whistled. "Gone to meet the 'winner,' he con JectuVed. ''I'll bet my"— "Tommy, dust Mr. Mason's desk and be quiet about It," directed Miss Van Amburgh. "You grow lazier every day." In a few minutes only the click, click, of the typewriter broke the si lence. Suddenly a long chuckle came from the editorial sanctum. "Tommy, what are you doing?" de •manded Miss Van Amburgh, facing the culprit sternly, "Get on to this." said the unabashed Tommy, reading haltingly from some torn scraps of paper pieced together on the desk blotter before him. "I found them ln the wastebasket. It's hot stuff: 'Well—that's—the—way—I—feel— I about—you—sweetheart. I' With a sudden sweep of her hand Miss Vau Amburgh sent the telltale scraps flying. "I'll have you discharged. Tommy," she threatened solemnly. "(Jo take those letters out of the press and carry them over to the postofflee. You needn't come back.'* "Ever?" gasped the astonished Tom my. "You ain't got no right"— "Back tonight, you silly. Now, step lively." As soon as Tommy had been gone a sufficient length of time to Insure against his possible return Miss Van Amburgh spread the crumpled bits of paper out on the blotter before her. She felt as guilty as sbe was. "Did you ever see anything so beau tiful" (her cheeks flushed as sbe read) "that you wanted to throw your arms around it and sing for happiness? Well, that's the way I feel about you. sweetheart. I want to fold you close to. my heart and sing to you of my love." For some time Margaret sat very still, her chin resting on her hand. Suddenly she brushed away the tears that were forming ln her big brown eyes and, gathering up the precious ■craps, put tbem ln au envelope. After sbe bad directed this senti mental collection to "Miss Elizabeth Greene." she dropped It. without hesi tatlon, down the office mall chute. The thud that Indicated the letter's arrival In the box far below sounded the death I knell of her hopes, and the air castle I which she had built so joyously fell I crashing about her. But she was glad I she had had the courage to give an I other woman the happiness ahe coveted I for herself. 9 With the feeling that ahe bad passed I through some -awful ordeal, yet had I come out of It creditably, Margaret 1 wrapped up a bunch of miscellaneous manuscripts for home work and closed 1 the office. gn At the «u reading thete over later the came upon one that bore pre clous comment of her own. "This Is worth accepting." ahe had Jotted down for the editor', benefit, 'If you can fix j- Mjk tbe man'* love letters up a bit. They do not ring true." Turning the pages over listlessly to the hero's first unsatisfactory epistle, she was startled to read. In Mason's handwriting, the very letter she had pieced together that afternoon. She turned to the next letter. This, too. Mason had attempted to revise. It began'encournglngly, but stopped short with the characteristic marginal com ment: "Miss V., I can't do anything with these old things. Haven't had any practice. You rewrite tbem.'\ The enormity of the blunder she had made flushed Margaret's cheeks crim lon. For the next two days she went about the office In a daze. Should she or should she not confess? Her de termination of the question was ns far from being settled as ever, when, late in the afternoon of the second day, Mr. Mason called her Into his pfflee. He sat at his desk on which lay. once more, those fatal scraps of paper and held In his hand a letter, over which he was evidently perplexed. He looked up at Margaret, however, with a smile. "Here's the Btrangest mlxup, Miss Van Amburgh. I wonder If you can help me make head or tail of It. Looks to me ns if that Incorrigible Tommy had been playing one of bis practical Jokes agntu. See here." But Margaret would not look. "I'm to blame, not Tommy," she con fessed, and then somehow she got through her explanation. It was a humiliating experience. When she had finished and with pa thetic humility begged Mason's for giveness. he looked at her with a ten derness she knew she did not deserve, but which perversely she felt was worth the having blundered to win. -There's only one thing I'm sorry j abouti he said kindly. "You should have directed these little scraps of gen timent to yourself, Margaret. They were wrltt en with the thought of you ln my heart. They are my first*love letters." At this Margaret unexpectedly burst Into tears. The strain of confession had unnerved her. Mason blessed her for It. It gave him the opportunity he longed for—of holding her in his arms and of comforting and loving her. "But what will you tell Miss Greene?" asked Margaret, dismay and amusement taking turns in possession of her big brown eyes and adorable mouth. "Oh, I'll make it all right with Cous in Elizabeth!" Mason assured her, laughing. "She's a dandy girl, but has Just had a falling out with her fiance, and I've been trying to help her patch It up." as It up." "Oh!" said Margaret eomprehend tngly. "Do you know, dearest." asked Ma son, fingering the scraps of paper on his desk, "I'm Insufferably proud think my first love letter Is accepted." "It—It rings true," commented Mar garet archly. "I knew yop could do it." Just here Tommy burst ln upon the lovers. knocked several times, but got no nrf Thcn be continued to stand In He explained that be bad gn er. the doorway, grinning. "Tommy." announced the editor im periously. "Miss Van Amburgh and I are engaged. You are tjie first one to hear the news." "Pshaw!" exclaimed Tommy. "That's I could 'a' told yer that no news. when I found them scraps In the wastebasket." Resting Their Muscles. When a man Is tired he Rtretehes Birds his arms and legs and yawns, and animals, so far as possible, fol low Ills example. Birds spread their feathers and also yawn, or gape. Fowls often do this. Fish yawn. They open their mouths Blowly until they aro round, the bones of the head seem tp loosen and the gills open. Dogs- are Inveterate yawners and stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless they bnve a cold. Cats are always stretching their bodies, legs and claws, as every one knows who has had a cat for a pet Horses' stretch violently when and after Indulging ln a roll, hut not as a rule on all fours, as stags do. A stag when stretching sticks out his heqd, stretches his fore feet out and hol lows his back and neck as though try ing to creep under a bar. Most ruminant animals stretch when they rise up after lying down, do it regularly; so do cattle. This fact Is so well known that If a cow when arising from lying down does not stretch herself it Is a sign she Is ill. The reason for this Is plain—the stretch moves every muscle of the body, and If there Is an Injury any where It hurts. Deer Coffee In Jamaica. You see all those bushes with red berries strung among their branches? That is coffee, and the taller trees among which It Is growing are pimen tos. from which the world gets Its all spice.
