Horticultural Society Meeting.
The Twenty-Second Annual Meet-
ing of the Florida State Horticultu-
ral Society will convene at Daytona
on May 18, 19, 20, 21. The meetings
of the Society have been growing in
Importance and Interest from year
'to year, and the twenty-second meet-
ing promises to be no exception to
this rule.
The railroads have granted to the
members a rate of one fare plus 25
cents for the round trip, and hotels
are making a rate of from $1.00 to
$2.00. The people of Daytona are
prepariingto entertain the inemnbers
with a steamer ride on the famous
Halifax River, and also to give then
automobile rides through the beauti-
ful avenues surrounding the city.
Besides the attractions that the
Daytona people can give, the mem-
bers can enjoy all pleasures that a
beautiful beach can furnish where
both fishing and bathing can be en-
joyed between the meetings.
Any person Interested in Florida
can become a member by remitting
$1.00 to the Secretary, which will
entitle them to a certificate of mean-
bership and a copy of the proceed-
ings when they are published. Send
$1.00 to E. 0. Painter, Secretary,
Jacksonville, and be sure to send it
at least three days before the first
day of the meeting.
The one fare plus 25cts for round
trip as above is also good over the
East Coast at least for anyone who
wants to visit Daytona regardless
whether they are members of the
society or not. ErITOit.

Three or four carm of California
grapefruit arrived and prices were
rather low. The fruit is not giving
satisfaction and the trade is not
taking to it in the usual way. Re-
cent arrivals have been thick-skin-
ned, overripe and, as a rule, not as
Juicy as they should be. Quotations
were around $1.50 to $3.00. Seedlings
are in moderate supply and range
$1.00 to $2.50. Bloods sold $1.76 to
to $2.75, and St. Michaels, which
have been in moderate supply and
demand, ranged $1.66 to $3.20. There
are only a few Florida Florida Va-
lencia Lates coming. Good stock
is selling mostly around $8 to $4.00,
with some extra fancy as highly as
$6.60. The season isa about over.
Grapefruit continues in good de-
mand and the market is cleaned up
of anything desirable. Fine, reg-
ular erop fruit is selling $4.60 to $6A.(4
with a little extra fancy exceeding
these figures.-New York Packer.

Fruit and Vegetable Market.
The New York Packer of Saturday
gives following quotations on Flor-
ida products on the New York mar-
ket:
"Late Valencia Florida oranges
were in heavy receipt this week,. and
price l held steady under a good de-
mand. The 9&s and 126s were as a
rule of very fine quality and stronig-
ly competed with California oranges
of the saame siizes. 'Tlie best oranges
oil the NNew York market at tlie pres-
ent time iin 96. and 126s, are the late
Valencla.s from Florida iand some
big prices we're realized on t hese
SIzes, sollie of whirilh brought, (,on the
street, as high as $6.
-'Ree ilpts of Florida pineapples
showed a decided increase. Twenty
fours were especially eanvy, and
brought $2(a2.50. Prices on other
sites ranged from $1.765a 2 for 81s and
about $1.76 for 86s.
"r There was a free mnovemnient of
old grapefruit, with russets ranging
from $5(d-6.50 and brights, fancy,
selling up to $7.
'"Receipts of Florida tomatoes
dropped off, but the trade looks for
arrivals from new sections in a few
days. The demand for fancy toma-
toes was very good and $2.60 was
easily obtained. The bulk of the
offorings of fancy stock, however,
sold at $2, with choice selling at $1.60.
"(lreen beans brought $1(a l.A ) and
wax $1.60( 1.75. Fancy cucumbers
sold at $1.25(d 1.75 and choice $1 per
basket.
Prices on other Florida products
were: Eggplants $2(,c2.50, peppers
$1.60(<2, white squash $1.50 a crate,
and potatoes $3(a 4.
"Florida corn showed up on tihe
market this week, but some of the
receipts were so worm eaten that
they would dot bring enough to pay
freight. For good stock prices
ranged from $3(i4 per hundred.
There will really be no very great
demand for corn, until receilpts from
Florida show better quality or until
North Carolina corn starts to come."

The East Florida Savings & Trust
Co., at Palatka, has just installed a
a fine burglar-alarm system in their
vault. Any tampering with the
vault will wake up the whole town,
as the gongs can be heard for blocks.

The Florida delegation who went
to California to investigate the Call-
fornia methods of handling Citrus
fruits have returned. Committees
have been appointed and will report
at the Tampa meeting June 1st. No
doubt much of this Imformation will
be given out at the Horticultural
Society's meeting at Daytoua next
week.

Sail For Mignonette.
Mignonette is a capricious flower
and thrives only under the most
proper treatment. Most hardy an-
nuals will grow in any ordinary bor-
der soil with only quite common
care, but the mignonette is not to be
treated cavalierly.
To make sure that It will succeed
you need soil that in the first place
has been well dug and afterward
made firm, while If some lime and
brick rutble have been mixed with
the border so much the better. Mg-
nonette will thrive only in well drain-
ed ground made firm, and It is es-
pecially fond of a little lime in the
soil.-Throne and Country.
'This year marks the tercentenary
of the development of Galileo's tele-
scope in practical shape for solentitfl
purposes.

Osming in from East Liberty on a
train were two men who apparently
were old friends and who met in
a jovial mood Both men were quite
gray, but each had a luxuriant head
of hair. Near them sat a stout par.
ty with a shining dome that was
almost destitute of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face-
tious remarks about slivered locks,
then indulged In some pleasantries
about the "thinning of the thatch,"
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, couch to the amuse-
ment of the passengers, but to the
evident discomfiture of the bald-head-
ed man.
The talk finally developed Into an
argument on the mause of baldness
and after considerable jocularity the,
pair turned to the pearly-pated strang-
er and one said:
"My friend and I have been disous-
stng the cause of baldness, but we
can't seem to agree. Would you mind
telling us wbat you regard as the
real case of baldnessrl
The stranger wheeled about; eyed
his questioaers fercely and snorted:

Real Cause of Baldness.

PidMeeu of 9eel 0oon0y at Co&
I k l1sb U ,sty aend General ee
H trof the Chertly Orpantation
S d elty. to th s4Irst of the three
:. i1, leetsw given for the New
T o lf Phillanthropy.
> ^ t be the eaie of Sal-
e.s4, l thXD. Devhe said, was an
-eeldeteoffteoei.The city at pros-
e ha4.,4M00 sides a year; last
yesa eo wasI tseventy-seven inl
eNr Mo of that for any gtvlious sea-
s1O. IPorty*-ree cases of attempted
Slide er carefully t ated.
Two were directly due to poverty,
sad four to unemployment. The re-
molaln thirty-seven were laid to a
variety of reason, which led the In-
vestigators to the conclusion that
poverty Is not- the greatest cause of
saUelde.
StaUeUce also show that the age
at which the greatest number of
eme occur is from 60 to 60. Three
men to one woman kill themselves.
There are more suicides among
Protestaats than Catholics, more
among Roman than Greek Catholics.
more among Greek Catholics than
Jews.
There are more kinds of misery.
in ,New York, Dr. Devine declared,
than *M4lton Imained in his "Hell."
Contrary to the idea tJat misery is
a retribution for a man's or his par-
ents' misdeeds, Dr. Devine stated
that It depended largely on condi-
tions which society could control.
Dr. Devine discussed at length the
( statement of a probation officer that
nine-tehths of the misery in New
I York could be traced to the social
evil. He pointed out the fact that
since the framing of the irodel law
In 19i0 by William Baldwin and the
Committee of Fifteen to' protect the
children In the tenements there hall
not been one single conviction. Of
1,004 complaints, 811 were dismissed
by the Tenement House Department,
274 were dismissed by the Corpora-
tion Counsel, only 9 were brought
to trial, and they 'were acquitted.
* "The complete uninforcement is a
most unfortunate breakdown of mu-
nalepal government," Dr. Devine de-
clared and he said that the part of
the police courts in it was "a miser.
able fIasoo."--New York Times.

A Footnote to History.
The open season is at hand, and no.
nla all the angling clubs tall stories
are to be heard, said Commissioner
George M. Bowers of the Bureau of
Fisheries in Washington.
"I heard a group of anglers boasting
and wriagling the other right. A pale
grave man, after listlenin to them for
some time, said -pilotly:
" what finally became of the whale that
swallowed Jonah?'
"'What's the use wondering about
that? Nothing definite's known,' said
a trout Asherman rudely. 'Boy's,' he
went om, she Utipped the beam-'
"'Look here,' the grave man inter.-
rupted, 'I know what became of that

"'Humph! What?' said the trout

"'For the rest of his life he made
a bore of himself telling all the other

Waless how the largest mn he ever
S emght wriggled loose and got away."
-Niew York Times.

It was repted sen weeks ao
that seven of the leading hotels of
New York cdty, owing ta complaints
of guests, had dscontinudd the use of
California grown naval oranges sub-
stituting therefore the juicy and well
flavored oranges so liberally supplied
this season from Florids. The Call-
fornia fruits were criticized as too dry
and tasteless. Patrons of these great
land expensive hotels demand the
highest quality of viands that can be
procured, and buyers are ever on the
alert for the best the market affords.
An explanation of the poor quality Is
thai several considerable quantities
of the finest appearing navals were
fronted, before picking, reaultUig in
the loss of Juice and flavor without
other distinguishable defects. There
was unusual cold in the California na-
val distrlcti about the ripening sea-
son and it may the that oranges were
shipped east that should not have
been put on the market, bu there Is
a growing suspicion that the eatin
quality of the California naval orantit,
even at its best, will not bear compar-
ison with the choicer seed-containing
varieties from Florida. For the first
time since the calamitous freeze ot
1894 that all but annihilated the eas-
tern orange Industry, we have had
Florida oranges enough 'to supply ful-
ly the principal eastern markets.
They been so satisfactory that the
seedless navals were barely salable,
Notwithstanding their great size and
fine appearance, and In fact were not
offered In quantity until the Florida
crop was practically sold out. The
commercial qualities of the naval
oranges are admirable. It Is an ex-
cellent shipper and a goo4 keeper un-
der ordinary conditions of handling
and exposure for sale. Dealers and
peddlers much prefer It to othem, but
consumers have grown restless as re-
gards its generally Insipid flavor and
discriminate in favor of the more
palatable kinds when they may be
had. As the navels are long keepers
they are now held until the Florida-.
are cleaned up and only the Mediter-
ranean imports remain to be com-
peted with. Occasionally navals are
Juicy and pleasant enough to be com-
pared to the best eastern fruits, but
on the whole the variety ase rown In
the. pacific coast region is likely to
rank with the Klefer pear, the Ben
Davis apple, the Klbertfjeach and
the Concord grape-all W shippers
and cheaply produced, but of ordinary
or inferior quality.-The Rural New

Tampa Enters Protest
Against Pilotage Bill
Tampa, Pla.-The city council of
Tampa adopted by unanimous vote, a
resolution protesting against the pas-
sage of the pilotage bill recently in-
troduced In the state legislatureby
Senator W. Hunt Harris of Key West.
The resolution sets forth that the
enactment of such a law would make
it Impossible for the pilot commis-
sioners to fix the pilotage fees in
their respective ports and would pre-
vent the placing of the fees at the

most reasonable and lowest rates
commensurate with the amount of
work to be accomplished by the pilots.
This resolution together with a simi-
lar one adopted by the Tampa Board
of Trade was sent to Tallahassee and
the legislators urged to defeat the
measure.

If the present legislature agrees
that a revision of the constitution Is
needed. It will still be 1911 before
Florida will have a mew constituUlou.
If it does not, It will be at least no
earlier than 1914 toe the revised
luastrumt ea be submitted to the
peo le eor aeptan or rejcUoe. I

Tep)orts from Hastings are to the
effect that the Irish potato crown is
fast being harvested and shipped to
the northern markets. Up to the pres-
ent it is estimated that a trifle less
than one-half of the crop has been
disposed of. The aggregate of seven-
ty thousand barrels have already
been sent out of Hastings and it is
estimated that another eighty thous-
and remains to be shipped, making
a total of about one hundred and fifty
thousand, or twice the amount of
last year's crop. The prices hold up
well, most of the growers selling their
crops outright for $3.50 a barrel, while
others are shipping on consignment.
Every one will realize between $3 and
$3.50 a barrel for their potatoes and
consequently every farmer will make
handsome profits.

ing shown, which combines the func-
tions of the fruit press and colander,
with which ft will be found possible
to greatly simplify many of the cul-

removal of seeds and skins from
grapes, tomatoes and apples, ricing
potatoes, extracting juices from fruit,
smoothing laundry starch and a hun-

themselves from time to time to the
ingenious housekeeper and servant.
The device is mounted on a tinned

Oet M00W and boM ftr 1OO
"A .000 house w,8 sold at Port
Whipple, near Prescott, a few days
ago for $180." said George H. Mor-
gan, a lawyer of P"eecott, Arlz. 'It
was known as the old Gen. ,Crook
house. lnd was owned by the Gov-
ernment Gen. Crook occupied the
house' for several months, and it was
on just a windy day as that of the
sale that Gen. Crook rode away from
the house in March 1885.
"The building was a nondescript
style of architecture, constructed of
stucco, adobe and frame. It was
roomy and comfortable, with lofty
ceilings and bsy windows, through
whicb could be seen the snow cover-
ed peaks of the mountains on one
side and Thumb Butte and the city
of Prescott on the other. The house
eontilned more than 40.000 feet of
lumber, and among other modern con-
veniences it had two bathtubs.
"While Gen. Crook was the ocen-
.pant of the house he was engaged
In a long and diicult campaign
against the lndlans. The old building
Is still well preserved. When the auc-
tioneer announced the sale the bid-
ding started at $50, and this figure
was raised from time to time, until
it reached $180. at whi.h sum It was
knocked down to the proprietor of .-
hotel. What the purchaser purposes
to do with the house I don't know, but
he was told ehat it must *be removed
shortly, as the Government would no
longer be responsible for its safety.
"Ibe house cost probably more than
$90,000. Every foot of the lumber in
it was freighted from Los Angeles at
a cost of 10 cents a pound. It was
considerably enlarged after Gen
Crook left it. The latter's successor,
Gen. Kgutz. lived in itfor a long time,
but It has nct been occupied for a
number of years. At the time of its
construction a guard of soldiers had

Mr. Barrie's Apology.
Jim. Barrie lives in London, in a
small, quaint house in Iincaster
Gate. Just across the Bayswater
Road is Kensington Garden. There in
the Kensington ,Broadwalk the play-
wright takes his morning troll among
the flowers and the flowerlike chil-
d ren.
One morning in the Broadwalk an
American lady twitted Mr. Barrie
upon the thrifty way he uses ,jokes
and episodes over and over again, ex-
ploding in "What Every Woman
Knows." for instance, the samr wit-
ticism that has already figured in
"The Admirable ('rihton." In "My
Lady Niootine," and in "Sentimental
Tommy."
Mr'. Barrie said with a laugh, that
his nationality was to blame.
"I am a Scot," he said, "and we
Scots abhor waste. Did you never

Getting Legal Advice.
You should always find out who Is
telephoniing to you-if you can.
There's a Broadway lawyer who at
present is wishing he had. The oth-

fused to give her name to his clerk,
saying that she wished to talk on
personal and private ,business. A*
soon as the lawyer himself picked up
the receiver, ,before he could make / .
any Inquiries, she began: "Oh, please .
tell me, must there not be two copies
of a lease?"
"Why," he answered. "it is usual
to give one to the landlord's agent
and one to the lessee. But who
are-?"
"Yet, the fact that the wife of the
lessee had never seen a copy of the
lease wouldn't keep it from being
legally binding?"
"No." slipped from the lawyer, who
quickly added: "But before I discuss
the matter further may I ask to /.
whom?"
There was a pretty little laugh-
he admits It was pretty even now.
"Oh, I'm-Mrs. Brown, and I live-
on Broad way. You don't know me,"
-it was obvious, likewise, that he
wouldn't-"but I've always heard your

m MD 400000 YNers Af.
Th6sande of years before Adam
found himself In the Garden of Eden
there lived a man who made his home I
In the limestone caves of Central
France. He had no need of fig Iaves,
AJule nature provided him vith a
M&Weful robe of hair. His life was
undoubtedly hard, but be was fairly
equipped for the struggle, having
teeth like a gorilla and a sinewy arm
that could wield a club with deadly
effect against his four-legged ene-
mies. lie went hunting after tire
lower animals, and enjoyed getting
the strangle hold on a deer or sinking
his teeth In the neck of a young cave
bear. Hle would often heat his prey
over the head with a rock. When-
ever he used' stone or club, he prob-
ably congratulated himself on his
superior methods and felt a mild con-
tempt for the dulness of his cousins,
the apes. When he glanced In a,
stream of water he admired the In-
tellectual aspect of his forehead and,

the crestaure was a man., and the
sutures of tbb's kull that he was ripe
with years when he died. He was
about five and one-fourth feet high.
The walls of the skull are very thick,
the skull box In flattened and slopes
to the front and the eye arches are
exceedingly large and prominent. A
wide mouth, a big nose and a massive
paw were characteristics in life. This
type of man stands between a Java
. monkey and the lowest order of hu-
man being existent to-day. The esti-
mate of the age of his bones range
between 20.000 and 400,000 years.-

maybe, understood the reason for the
stupidity of his lower browed rela-
tives.
Not long ago three priests discov-
ered the skull of this progenitor of
Adam at Chapelle-aux-Sints. Sci-
entists have made a study of it, and
declare that this earliest of known
humans had a right to think well of
himself, although he would hardly fit
into a modern drawing room. "Take
him for all and all, he was a man."
He made a fair use of his opportuni-
ties, and did not attack animals that
he could not subdue. lie gave his
children a good hunting education,
and perhaps taught them the rudi-
ments of art-how to scratch pictures
on stone.
Up to the present time seniority
among human relics belonged to
those found in Neanderthal,. Ger-
many, in 1856, and in Spy, Belgium,
thirty years later. 'When the wcan-
derthal skull was found Darwinisnm
was In its infancy, and niuu were
rather ashamed to acknowledge th'ir
ancestors. To-day they ,rc eager to
trace back the relatimonhip am far au
possible. The Neaud'-rthal skull has.
a capacity of somun 13'0 cubic, centi-
metres, and Ihli Is about the capacity
of the Chapelle-aux-Saint s peelimen.
Modern man averages 1500, with
ruvler's and Lord Blyron's expand-
ing to 1800, while the Australian
aborigine drops down to 1400. The
best brain cavity that tho unlike
apes can show is 600 cubic centi-
metres.
The Chapelle-aux-Salunts headpiece
was found in one of the numerous
limestone caves of the Correso dis-
trict, amid flint stones and the bones
of deer and bison. Tho geological
level was about the same as that in
which the Neanderthal and Spy bones
were discovered. Together with the
skull, some vertebral and hip boned
were unearthed, which led M. Mar-

Of the many Utneal seepatons
tetowed by women, ebbablM ttse most
crtious, od, by no mans Ie least
interesting; is that pf the ooekl time-
keeper of London, to whom practical-
ly every big watch and clock maker
in the metropolis pays a fee once a
week to learn the correct time, says
"Tit-Bits."
"What is more," said Miss Belle-
ville, tft woman In question, recently,
"my father and mother before me
earned a very good income by pro-
viding London with the correct time.
As a matter of fact, mray curious little
bushiese originated some seventy
years ago. In those days it was ex-
tremely difficult to obtain the exact
time fit London. The pricipeal watch-
and clock makers 'had nothing to guide
them. If they sent to the Greenwleh
Observatory there was no outside
clock, and the department, of course,
did not exist for the purpose of sup-
plying watchmakers with the time.
"Ultimately Mr. Pond, the astron-
omer royal of the period, was ap-
proached and asked If anything could'
be done. My father, John Heary
Belleville, was at that time chef as-
sistant of the astronomer royal, and
also a ward of his, and Mr. Pond sug-
gested to him that on certain days my
father should take around the right
time to London firms by means of a
cotected chronometer.
"This my father did, the firms pay-
ing him a stipulated amount per an-
num, and the Innovation proved so
successful that, at the time of his
*death, he was drawing an Income
from this source of between 400
and 500 a year. After his death my
mother was granted the privilege of
having her chronometer corrected ait
Greenwich whenever she pleased, in
order that she might carry on the
business of timekeeper, and when she
gave it up in 1892 I took her place,
and have carried on the business ever
since, with the permission of Sir Wil-
liam Christie. the present astronoTmer
royal."
Every Monday morning Miss Belle-
ville goes from Maidenhead, where
she resides, to the Observatory at
Greenwich, and is there given an of-
ficial document saying that her
chronometer differs from mean time
by. so many seconds and tenths of sec.
onds. Such a favor is granted to no
other person, and, armed with this
exclusive credential. -Miss Belleville
sallies forth to correct the timepieces
of London.
She has about forty customers is
the city. and to each she repairs in
turn and permits them to correct their
time in accordance with that of her
own chronometer anti the official doc-
ument. And from the. forty custom-
ers whom Miss Belleville visits for
this purpose the rest of Indon gets
its time, for the customers include
such firms as Dent's-the makers of
lig Ben-Benson's, etc.
To the "Tit-Bits" man Miss Belle-
ville showed the chronometer which
enables her to carry on her unique
business. It is a watch of the "tur-
nip" type, and of very venerable ap-
pearance. Its history is decidedly in-
teresting.
"It was made," said its owner, "iu
1835 by Arnold, one of the most fa-
mous watchmakers that ever lived, for
the Duke of Sussex, a son of George
i1I. After possessing it a short time
the noble owner discarded it because

it was too clumsy, and my father
bought it at a fancy price. At that
tiIV the chronometer"ad a gold case,
b my father had it replaced by a sil-
ver one, as he had to visit many Lon-
don slums, and thought it would be
safer if It looked less imposing.
"Is my business still a success, you
ask? Oh, yes. otherwise I should not
carry It on. You see, although there
are some firms which have had their
oloeks electrically synchroaised,
there are others who do not earn for
the Idea, and are still glad to have the
ss.tasMs of my *roaometer, and If
I a1eglet to call they ses send for
me.

Advantages and Attractions.
San Mateo has good shelled roads
and miles of hard sidewalks. Beauty;
ful wateroaks line both qides of
streets, and meet overhead In many

Twp churches, public and private
schools, telegraph, telephone, express,
money order postoffice, three mails
daily, meat market, two general
stores, who take orders and deliver
goods at your door, weekly paper.
The place is incorporated, ,but np
town taxes have been collected for
over ten years; the many public im-
provements are made by the push and
generosity of the citizens and pulling
together. The state and county taxes
are about 20 mills on about one-third
valuation.
Good hunting and fishing, deer, tur-
key, ducks and quail, black bass uaid
other Florida fresh water fish.
Good boarding house, Byrlyn Place,
open winters; rates eight to ten dol-
lars per week; $2.00 day. *
Six thousand people went through
the San Mateo Fruit Company's grove
hero last season.
One of the best advantages San
Mateo enjoys is transportation; being
on both river and rail is an advantage
that few Florida points enjoy. The
past season, for instaaoe, railroads
and terminals at Jacksonville were
more than congested and fruit ship-
ped from points down the central
part of the state was, in some cases,
three weeks getting to Jacksonville,
on route to northern markets, and
did not bring enough to pay freight,
while San Mateo shippers, at same
time, would ship from here one day
and have fruit go out of Jacksonville
on the Clyde slip the next. This lit-
tle matter this season alone was
worth thousands of dollars to the San
Mateo growers and the homeseeker
will do well tu bear in mind trans-
portation and cheap rates that coma
with competition, in selecting a Flor-
ida locatonU.

Advice for

Agnes Carver 'regarded hoer mail
with a little shudder of disgust. It
was heavier than usual and she was
in no l mood for wading through a
mass of false sentiment and untutor-
ed pleading.
She smiled a cynical little smile
as she drew the chair up to the
desk and reached for the slender
blade G: steel that she used as an
envelope opener. It seemed funny
that the Dally Solar should assign
her to advise the lovelorn when she
herself was so poorly advised. Hier
contributions had caught the fancy of
the managing editor, and so he of.
fered her vhe department at a better

It jllffered very little from scores
of propositions she had Pecided al-
most off hand. and yet the letter fas-
cinated Agnes for she hb felt the
same dread herself that New Darling-
ton might not gain the success that
hoe deserved and that she might out-
distance him In the race for fame.
She had felt that she could not bear
to see Ned struggling along while
she forged ahead, and she had told
him so when she had Joined the staff
of the Dally WEfar. There had been"
talk then of great things that' wore
to be done for her, and Ned had
bluntly demanded that she chose be
tween a career and himself.
She had ohosB*n the career to re-
gret It ever after, for he had flung
hinse:f out of tier presence, and she
had not seen him since. She hat
heard that he had gone west, but
they never had had friends in com-
mon, and none of her acquaintances
could tell her anything of his where-
abouts.
bhe pondered over the letter until
the striking of the clock warned her
that she must get to work, so laying
the letter aside, she reluctantly rals-
ed the cover of -her desk and slipped
a sheet of paper Into the machine.
Rapidly she answered the more prom-
ising of the other letters, then she
stopped and again took up the case
that was so like her own. She.waq
still looking at it when one of the
copy boys stopped at her desk.
"Mr. Velt says he'd like to (have
your copy if it is ready, Miss Patton,"
hlie announced. "He wants to get
the department stuff In ear'y to leave
the machines free for the murder
trial."
"In just a moment," she promised
with a guilty glance at the clock andl
then witb an abrupt little gesture of
determination she faced the machine
again and wrote rapidly.
She turned the copy in and hurrleol
uptown to a club meeting to which
.he had been assigned, but through
the day the letter and her answer
haunted her thoughts and she could
not put them from her mind.
It spoiled her sleep, too, for she
-could only toss uncomfortably through
half the night and rose -with heavy
spirits and leaden head in the anu ,
Ing. In the hope of gaining some re
lief she started to walk down the ave
nue to the office.
She had scarcely turned the corner
nearest her apartment than she came
to a dead halt, for coming towar-I
her was the man whose image had
been revived so strongly by the letter.
For an instant she thought that it
was all a part of the walking night-
mare in whikh she had spent the last
24 hours, but the next moment Ned
Darlington "was shaking her hands
with a grip that was anything but
ghostly.
"I've been here a whole week," he
cried, jubilantly, '"but there were
some things to ,be done before I look-
ed you up. I was coming to call this
'morning. I did not suppose that you
left for the ogloe before 10 at least."
"I was not feeling well and I
thought that a walk might do me
good." she explained, and Nod turned
and suited his pago to hers.
"Then by all means let us walk,"
he agreed gayly. "It's been a long
time since we used to walk together,
Agnes. I suppose that'you don't mind
walking with a man with a hat like
this?"
Agnes gave a glance at the light.,
soft Stetson that spoke of the west.
"You look Ulike a cowboy; but you're

not a cowboy to be ashamed of," she
said, with admiration. "Yoj seemed
to have stretch, out anfup, Ned.

"Then we'll go In here and get the

came to a halt before a famous Jew-

"What ring?" she asked, In conafu

his pocket a folded paper and pointed
to the home page displayed on the
outside.
"I guess you wrote that." he said.
quietly. "I was afraid that you might
guess that I had the question sent tn
and chuck It into the waste basket.

wrote It for me."'
Agnes glanced at the answer that
had stirred her so strongly. In r
half-dozen sentences she had advise4l
the writer that, if the man could sup-
port her, it was better that she should
abandon her career thr.n that it
should Interfere with her love.
"That's advice from an expert," re-
minded Ned, exultantly. "Are you
ready to follow your own advice?"
and Agnes proved her willingness by
following himn into the store, wonder-
tag that the happiness she had coun-
seled fo& another had suddenly be-
come her own.-New Orleans PI-

MICHIGAN FARMER'S THRIFT.

Journey Made Profitable by the Many
Changes Along the Way.
Millard Ockerman is a farmer liv-
ing near Owosso, Mich. Recently he
returned from a most profitable and
delightful journey to Lansing.
A family .which was moving to
lAnsing offered bim $10 to take a
load of household goods to the lat-
ter city. He loaded the lares and
penates on a layrack sleigh and start-
ed out.
The first day he made over half

known willow pattern plate of the
nursery. They are .wcurely fastened
to the head with masses of thick,

say, the sex that clings so obstinately
to the matinee hha.t In civilized lands
is not the,4ex that decorates Itself
with the. pernmnpnt bat of Galma, the
men reserving this distinction to
themselves.
The enormous rivers watering the
rich lands ot Papua are very swift,
and even the amphibious native at
times finds it hard to cross safely. A
curious sight was seen recently by
a magistrate on patrol duty. Five
men carrying large wooden warrior
shields wished to cross a very wide
and rapid river in high flood, a stream
that no white man would have ven-
tured into. The ingenious Papuans put
all theft goods on a raft, flung their
shields in the stream, and bestriding
the shields like mermen riding on
dolphins, worked their way across the
torrent with powerful strokes of the
legs, driving the raft, the goods and
the Government official safely in front
of them.
The Papuan does not stop at de-
vices as simple as this. In many parts
of the country4ie builds excellent sus-
pensioi? bridges of strong fibrous
creeper hundreds of feet long and
spans great rivers and gorges by their
means. White carpenters are now at

tal, Port Moresby. bridging the rivers

TRICK OF BRETON WRECKERS.

How They Lured Mariners to Destruc-
tion on a Dangerous Coast.
Along this dangerous coast the
hard hearted "Pagani" or wreckers
had their settlements. Many are the
vessels that have been lured to de-
struction by their false lights; many
are the drowned whbo met-their deaths
through the treachery of those to
whom they looked for help. The
Pagani were regarded with great aver-
slon by the people of neighboring vll-
"ageas, ibut they knew no shame.
A favorite device was to fasten a
lantern to a Imll's borne and then tio
the animal's head to his forefeet and
drive him along the cliffs. The
stumbling movements of the poor
beast agitated the lantern in such a
manner that to those at sea It re-
sembled the light of a ship pitching
and tossing on the waters. Other
vessels would feel that they could sail

From newspapers and magazines

Women of this day; also well-known
peronages of 'other days. The gath-
erlag was cosmopolitan and not ex.
elusive. Royalty hobnobbed with fa
GmnO cutthroats, actresses with prom-
S Inent divines and kings of finance.
SThe pictures were pinned to cur-
tains and portleres. and stood in ev-
ery available spot in the room. Each
picture was plainly numbered and
pasted to a white sheet of paper to
bring out the effect better.
When the twelve guests, six men
-: and six girls, arrived, the hosteas
passed small trays on which were six
pictures of beautiful actresses. Each
picture was cut in two parts, half be-
ng put on the men's tray and half
on the women's tray. After drawing.
those whose cards matched were part-
ners for introduction to the celebri-
ties.

Help In becoming acquainted with th"
guests of honor. They were then
formally Introduced to "The Celebrl-
ti Ues" in a clever speech by one of
the hostesses aind given half an hour
to learn who they were. Each name
guessed was written beside Its cor-
responding number on the programme.
At the close of the contest each
couple passed their card to the girl'
and man next them to check off, while
one of the hostesses read the correct
list aloud. The couple who had the
greatest number of celebrities -ir4gt
received each a prize. The man got
daintily framed picture of a noted
beauty and the girl got a head of a
ftanous actor.
Next the 'party gathered around a
tale on which was spread a collec-
tion of caricatures of famous persons.
a Jch couple was given a fresh and
"numbered programme, across the top
of whlah one of the hostesses had
drawn clever caricatures in wash of
the men guests. In twenty minutes
the lists were exchanged and read.
Prices for this contest were unique.
as the hostess drew a caricature of
the girl winner for her partner and
one of the man for the girl.

Glrded most fun was that of guessing

And not only do the women of Val-
alni wear trousers for conventpnce
when working in tlihe fields or tramp-

A Frank Opinion.
Once a youth thought it his solemn
duty to learn something about Henry
James. 8o. to the great a6mdration of
his frivolous friends, he picked up
"The Wglo of the Dove" and disap-
peared ito its pages.
Two weeks later he was thinner,
but still at it, when one of the afore-
'mentioned frivolous friends came into
the room, and, for the first time, show-
ed interest.
"Say," he observed, "is 'The Wings
of the Dove' a collection of short
stories or one long story:?"
The delver into James glanced- up
froL. the pages.
"One darned long story." he replied.
throwing his wbiole soul into the
words.-New York Times.

Johnny.
"Well, sir, you stay after school to.
might," commended the schoolmaam.
"I tell you fellows," said Johnny to
his companions as he Joined them af-
