IN McNAMARA CASE IN

COURT RULES OUT MUCH TEST I MONY IN HISCHXft^flFd JURY,

Defendant Deeply Moved as Crowds in Court Room Fight With Offi­

cers to Get to Famous Labor Leader.

Clarence S. Darrow, the noted Chi­cago- lawyer, was found not guilty in Los Angeles, Cal., of the charge of bribing a juror in the McNamara case.

The jury was out 34 -minutes. -Judge George H . Button in his

charge to the jury eliminated the first count in the Indictment that Darrow had bribed George N . Lock-wood, a regularly drawn juror in the case of J. B. McNamara, who, while his trial was in progress, confessed to blowing up the Los Angeles Times building.

"The evidence," Judge Hutton in­structed, "did not justify a verdict of guilty on the first count."

The second."count charged Darrow with attempting corruptly to influence a maiTabout to be drawn as a juror.

The court also instructed ^ that a verdict of guilty could not be found on the uncorroborated evidence of accomplices.

Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, who was found not guilty on the charge of having bribed a' prospective juror in the McNamara case, must stand trial on a second in­dictment, according to an announce­ment made by District Attorney Fredericks immediately after the ac« auittal.

Port Huron.—Motor man Peter Lamb of Detroit performed a heroic act and saved a three-year-old child from death when his car was leaving Algonac. The car had just left the outskirts of that place when Lamb saw in the distance what he thought was a chicken on the track. As the car approached Lamb discov­ered that it was a girl sitting on one of the rails.. .The^ motprin^n made Btrenuous efforts to stop the car, but' it was apparent that the brakes would not set in time to stop the. car before the child was hit. Swinging himself quickly out of the door and onto the fender, Lamb braced him­self, and just at the right moment seized the_ little girl, righting himself and regaining his feet when the car came to a standstill because of his previous application of the emergency brakes. A number of women who witnessed the act came and took the child to the place where its mother lay, she having swooned upon seeing the little one on the track.

The two were return­ing from their boathouse through the railroad yards and were obliged to step to one side on account of a pass­ing train, and in doing so stepped directly in the path of the switch engine. The boy succeeded in grab­bing a hand rail as he was hit and hung on, being dragged some distance, arrd^during that time seeing his father cut to pieces by fhe wheels of the engine. *

Took Slot Machine at Its Word. ; A Kansas -City woman recently took

her two small daughters to make their first visit, to her hus^a^d's people, liv­ing in a small Kansas town. Naturally she was anxious to make as favorable an impression as possible. So the two little people, on going on an errand to the depot, were cautioned to be on their very best behavior. To the mother's surprise, they returned vig­orously chewing gum. As they had no money, she asked them where they got it.

"Oh," explained the older one, "it said on the slot machine, 'Ask the agent for pennies,' so we did."

Matter of Justice. Where shall justice begin, with

those who have power or with those who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal Justice were done, the weak would make an effort to give to the strong all that is their due, and the strong would try to put their affairs in order so that no just cause of complaint should exist anywhere. The unhappy element in the-relations of the strong and the weak is that both are think­ing too much about exacting justice and not enough about doing that which is just and right. "Pay what thou owest" is the cry most often heard. "Give me that which is my due, then I wil l pay you what I owe." —The Christian Register.

Next came a couple who were not known to the master of ceremonies, but, after receiving the correct name in a whisper, he announced:

CHAPTER XIV. (Continued). Having little* else' to do, she studied

the man, and she studied him with a warm desire and an enthusiastic pre­disposition to find the best in him. tShe would not have been a human [girl if she had not been thrilled to ;the very heart of her by what the man had done for her. She recognized that whether he asserted It or not, he ihad established an everlasting and Indisputable claim upon her.

The circumstances of their • first meeting, which aa the days passed did not seem quite so horrible to her, and yet a thought of which would faring the blood to her cheek still on the Instant, had in some way turned ner over to him. Hte consideration of her, his gracious Tenderness to­ward her, his absolute abnegation, his

^eviden£ overwhelming desire to please her, to make the anomalous situation ln which they stood to each other bearable in spite of their lonely and unobserved intimacy, by an absolute lack of presumption on his part—all those things touched her profoundly.

Although she did not recognize the fact then perhaps, she loved him from the moment her eyes had opened in the mist and rain after that awful battle in the torrent to see him bend­ing over her.

No sight that had ever met Enid -Maltland's eyes was so glorious, so awe inspiring, so uplifting and mag­nificent as the viejw from the verge

•of the cliff in the sunlight of some brigtit winter morning. Few women had ever enjoyed such privileges as hers. Shft did not know whether she liked the winter crowned range best that way, or whether she preferred the snowy world, glittering cold in the moonlight; or even whether it was more attractive when it was dark and the peaks and drifts were only light­ed by the stars which shone never so brightly as Just above her head.

When he allowed her she loved to stand sometimes in the full fury of the gale with the wind shrieking and sobbing like lost souls in some icy Inferno through the hills and over the pines, the snow beating upon her, the sleet cutting her face if she dared to turn toward the storm. Generally he left her alone Jn the quieter moments, but in the tempest he stood watchful, on guard by her side, buttressing her, protecting her, sheltering her. Indeed nis presence then was necessary, without him she could scarce have maintained a footing. The force of the wind might have hurled her down the mountain but for his strong arm.

.'VyhejQ tthe cold grew too great he led her!back carefully to the hut and the warm fire. v<

Ah i ; yes, life and the world were "both beautiful to her then, in night,

i n $ay, by .sunlight, by moonlight, ln calm and storm. Yet i t made no dif­ference, what was spread before the woman's eyes, what glorious picture

.was exhibited to her gaze, she could apt jAok.at, i t„more, than A moment

r without thinking of the man. With .the most fascinating panorama that the earth's surface coujd spread be­fore human yJsion to engage her at­tention,, ehe;r 1 ^ into her own heart and saw there this, man! "

, Oh, she had fought against it at first, hut lately she had luxuriated Jn It, She loved bim, she loved him!

.And why not? What is it that wom­en love in men! Strength of body? .She could remember yet how he had carried her over the mountains in the m i d s ^ f the storm, how she had been .so bravely upborne by his arms to his heart She realized later what a task

>that had been, what a fea,t of strength. , The, uprooting of that sapling and the overturning of that huge Grizzly were

r child's play to the long portage up the almost impassable canon and

<mouotoi%^|| which had brought he*

from the world, buried himself in this mountain, and had stayed there deaf to the alluring call of man or woman; he had -h£d the courage to do that. ,

Was it strength of mind she ad­mired? Enid Maitland was no mean judge of the mental powers of her .acquaintance. She was jusuasful l of life and spirit and the joy of them as any young woman should be, but she had not been trained by and thrown witb the best for nothing. Noblesse oblige! That 4ils was a mind well stored with knowledge of the most, varied sort she easily and at once perceived. Of course the popular books of the last five years had passed him by, and of such he knew nothing, but he could talk intelligently, inter­estingly, entertainingly upon the great classics. Keats and Shakespeare were his most thumbed volumes. He had graduated from Harvard as a civil engineer with the highest honors of his class and school and the youngest man to get his sheepskin! Enid Mait­land herself was a woman of broad culture and wide reading and she de­liberately set herself to fathom this man's capabilities. Not infrequently, much to her surprise, sometimes to her dismay, but generally to her sat­isfaction, she found that she had no plummet with which to sound his greater depths.

Did she seek in him that fine flow­er of good breeding, gentleness and consideration? Where could she find these qualities better displayed? She was absolutely alone with this man, entirely In his power, shut.off from the world and its interference as ef­fectually as if they had both been abandoned in an Ice floe at the North Pole or cast away on some lonely is­land ln the South Seas, yet she felt as safe as if she had been in her own house, or her uncle's, with every pro­tection that human power could give. He had never presumed upon the sit­uation in the least degree, he never once referred to the circumstances of their meeting in the remotest way, he never even • discussed her rescue from the flood, he never told her how he had borne her through the rain to

its crown of sunny hair rising above the rushing water. He had listened to the roar of the wind through the long nights, when > she thought him asleep if she thought of him at ail, and heard again the scream of the storm that had brought her to Ms arms. No snow drop that touched his cheek when he was abroad but reminded him of that night in the cold rain when he had held ber close and carried her on. He could not sit and mend her boot without remem­bering that white foot before which he would fain have prostrated him­self and upon which he would have

^pressed passionate kisses if he had given way to his desires. But he kept all these things in his heart, pon­dered them and made no sign.

Did she ask beauty in her lover? Ah, there at last he failed. Accord­ing to the canons of perfection he did not measure up to tbe standard. His features were irregular, his chin a trifle too square, his mouth a thought too firm, his brow wrinkled a little; but he was good to look at for he looked strong, he looked clean and he looked true. There was about him, too, that stamp of practical ef­ficiency that men who can do things always have. You looked at him and you felt sure that what he undertook that he would accomplish, that de­cision and capability were incarnate in him.

But after all the things are said love goes where it is sent, and I, at least, am not the sender. This woman loved this man neith­er because nor in spite of these qualities. That they were might account for her affection, but. if they had not been, it may be that that af­fection, that that passion, would have inhabitated her heart still. No one can say, no one can tell how or why those things are. She had loved him while she raged against him and hat­ed him. She did neither the one nor the other of those two last things, now, and she loved him the more.

Mystery is a great mover; there is nothing so attractive as a problem wo cannot solve. The very situation of

She said in her heart—and I am not one to dispute her conclusions— that she would have loved him had he been one among millions to stand before hen, and it was true. He was the complement of her nature. They differed in temperament as much as In complexion, and yet-in those dif­ferences as must always be to make perfect love and perfect union, there were striking resemblances, necessary points of contact.

There was no reason whatever why Enfd Maitland should not love this man. The only possible check upon her feelings would have been her rather anomalous relation to Arm­strong, but she reflected tbat she had promised him definitely,,, nothing. When she had met him she had been heart whole, he had made some im­pression upon her fancy and might have made more with greater opportun­ity, but unfortunately for him, luckily for her, he had not enjoyed that priv-

but there is a sweetness even in the despair of the truly loving.

Enid Maitland, however, did not have to endure indifference, or fight against a passion which met with no response, for this man loved her wi th a love-that was greater even than her own. The moon, in the trite aphor­ism, looks on many brooks, the brook sees no moon but the one above him in the heavens. In one sense his merit in winning her affection for him­self from the hundreds of men she knew, was the greater; rn many years he had only seen this one woman. Naturally she should be everything to him. She represented to him not only the woman but womankind. He had been a boy practically 'when he had buried himself in those mountains, and in all tbat time he had seen no­body like Enid Maitland. Every ar­gument which had been exploited to show why she should love him could be turned about to account for his

•onght.

His body trembred if she laid hand upon him, his soul thirsted for her; present or absent be conjured before his tortured brain the sweet­ness that inhabited ber breast He had been clearsighted enough in an­alyzing the past, he was neither clear­sighted nor coherent ln thinking oi the present. He worshiped her, he could have thrown himself upen his knees to her; K it would have added to her happiness, she could have killed him, smiling at her. Rode she In the Juggernaut car of the ancient Idol, with his body, would he have un­hesitatingly paved the way and have been glad of the privilege. He longed to compass her with sweet* obser* servances. The world revenged itself upon him for his long neglect, it had summed up in this one woman all it* charm, its beauty, Its romance, and had thrust her into his very arms. His was one of those great passions which illuminate the records of the past. Paolo had not loved Franceses fnore.

Oh, yes, the woman knew he loved her. It was not in the power of mor­tal man no matter how Iron his re* straint, how absolute the Imposition of his will, to keep his heart hidden, his passion undisclosed. No-one could keep such things secret, his love foi her cried aloud in a thousand ways, even his look when he dared to turf his eyes upon her was eloquent of hlr feeling. He never said a word, how ever, he held his lips at least fettereV and bound for he believed that honoi and its obligations weighed down the balance upon the contrary side tc which his inclinations lay.

He was not worthy of this woman. In the first place all he, had to of­fer her was a blood stained hand. That might have been overcome In his mind; but pride in his self pun­ishment, his resolution to withdraw himself from man and woman until such time as God completed his ex­piation and signified his acceptance of the penitent by taking away his life, held him inexorably.

The dark face of his wife rose be­fore him. He forced himself to think upon her, she had loved him, she had given him all that she could.

Propinquity, too, is responsible for many an affection. "The ivy clings to the first met tree." Given a man and woman heart free and throw them together and let there be decent kindness on both sides, and tt is al­most inevitable that each shall love the other. Isolate them from the world, let them see no other compan­ions but tb* one man and the one woman, and the result becomes more inevitable. ,

She would not have been human if her mind had not dwelt upon the world beyond the sky-line on the oth­er side of the range. She knew how those who loved ber must be suffering un account of her disappearance, but knowing herself safe and realizing that within a short time, when the spring came again, she would go back

• to them and that their mourning would be turned Into Joy by her ar­rival, she could not concern herself very greatly over their present feel­ings and emc^ietfsT"and besides, what would be jfece use of worrying over those things? There was metal more attractive for her thoughts close at hand. And she was too blissfully happy to entertain for' more than a moment any sorrow. •

She pictured often ber return and never by any chance did she think of going back to civilization alone. The man she loved would be by her side, the church's blessing would make them one. To do her justice, ln the simplicity and purity of her thoughts she never once thought of what the world might say about that long win­ter sojourn alone with this man. She was so conscious of her own inno­cence and of his delicate forbearance, she never once thought how humanity would raise its eyes and fairly cry upon her from the house tops. She did not realize that were she ever so pure and so innocent she could not now or ever reach the high position which Caesar, who was none too rep­utable himself,, would fain have his wife enjoy!

passion for her. They are not necess­ary, they arc ail supererogatory, idle words. To him also love had been born in an hour. It had flashed into existence as if from the flat of the Divine.

Oh, he had fought against it. Like the eremites of old he had been scourged into the desert by remorse and another passion, but time had done its worje. The woman he first loved had ministered not to the spir­itual side of the man, or if she had so ministered In any degree it was be­cause he had looked at her with a glamour of inexperience and youth. During those five years of solitude, of study arid of reflection, the truth had gradually unrolled itself before him. Conclusions vastly at variance with what he had ever believed possible as to the woman upon whom he had first bestowed his heart, bad got into his being and were in solution there; this present woman was the precipitant which brought them to life. He knew now what the old appeal of his wife had been. He knew now what the new appeal of this woman was.

In humanity two things in life are inextricably intermingled, -body, and soul. Where tbe function of one be­gins and the function of the other ends no one is able to say. In all human passions are admixtures , of the earth earthy. We are born the sons of old Adam as we are reborn the sons of the New. Passions are complex. As in harvest wheat and, tares grow together until the end, so in love earth and heaven mingte ever. He remembered a clause from an an­cient marriage service he had read. "With my body I thee worship," and with every fibre of bis physical being, be loved this woman.

It would be idle to deny that, 1m* possible to disguise the facts, but in the melting pot of passion the pre* ponderant ingredient was mental and spiritual; and just because higher and holler things predominated, he held her in his heart a sacred thing. LOve is like a rose: the material part its the beautiful blossom; the spiritual factor is the fragrance which abides i n tho rooe Jar even after every leaf has fad-

thing, He could not be false to his purpose, false to her memory, un­worthy of the passion in'which he be­lieved she had held him and which he believed he had inspired.

If he had gone out in the world, after her death he might have forgot­ten most of these things, he might have lived them down. Saner dear­er views would have come to him. His morbid self reproach and self con­sciousness would have been changed. But he had lived with them alone for five years and now there was no put­ting them aside. Honor and pride, the only things that may successfully %

flght against love, overcome him. He could not give way. He wanted to, every time he was in her presence he longed to sweep her to his heart and crush her in his arms and bend her head back and press Hps of ,fire on her lips.

But honor and pride, held him back. How long would they continue to ex­ercise dominion over him? Would the time come when his passion ris­ing like a sea would thunder upon these artificial embankments of his soul, beat them down and sweep them away?

At first the disparity between their situations, not so much upon account of family or of property*—the treas­ures of the mountains, hidden since) creation he had discovered andnlet l i o —but because of the youth and posi­tion of the woman compared to h i t own maturer years, his desperate ex* perience, and his social withdrawal had reinforced his determination to live and love without a Sign. But' b#> had long since got beyond? this. Had he been free he" would have taken her like a viking of old, if he had to pluck her from amid a thousand swords and carry ber to a beggar's hut which love Would nave turned to a palace. And she would have come with him on the same conditions.

H E N King Solomon built bis temple lie had set up in front of it two pillars, which he called Jachin and Boaz, mean­ing permanence and strength.

The cunning artist, Hiram of Tyre, made the pillars, which must have been imposing, from the many references to them; and in the account in the book of Kings it is said: "And upon the top of the pillars was lily work; so was the work of the pillars finished."

Lily work upon the pillars! It is a haunting word. All through the Justory of architecture men seem to have felt that

the pillars of strength should be capped by the capitals of beauty. , The same law holds good in the realm of spiritual reality that holds

good in the realm of material appearance. The law is that the end of strength is beauty, and the basis of beauty

is strength. Virtue is pure strength; it is not usable in the temple of life until it

becomes beautiful—that is, till it becomes love. Love is virtue—with lilv work.

) Contrariwise, mere amiability, tenderness, a pleasing face and manner, nvith no strength of character beneath, is nothing but lily work for its own £ake; hence cheap and unsatisfying.

So also goodness is the pillar, joy the lily work. Joy without good-mess is moral tawdriness, and goodness without joy is moral crudeness.

The puritans were all for pillar; the cavaliers were all for lily work. There has been a world long conflict between the moralist, seeking for

strength and the artist seeking for beauty. Manly strength is not perfect; nor is womanly beauty; it is the union

•of the two, the family, which is perfect. Cromwell and his Ironsides, smashing stained glass windows were pil­

lars. Bead George Eliot's "Eomola." Romola's husband was all Jily work. I will tell yon when the millennium will come. It wilLbe when the

.good shall be beautiful, and the beautiful shall be good. Then shall the future chronicler say: "At that time humanity solved

its problem. Righteousness and peace kissed each other. For men had at last learned, in their lives as well as their houses, to crown all pillars with lily work, and put lily work only upon the pillars."

Many of our most successful farmers are ex-city men, who are suc­ceeding better than many who never left the farm, because they came to the work with open and active minds, and willingness to learn new and improved methods.

When he or his family wish to,see <& good play they have the price to do it properly, wfaich is often lacking with the city man, and comparatively few farms are more than three or four4 hours' ride from a live town,

When is a girl old eno^gh-to^ftiarry ? When she has Bense enough to know that she honestly loves the man she is going to marry; to stay with him in sickness and trials. Above all, she must be able to cook a good meal, see that the- house is kept clean, tend to his bodily comforts, be contented and happy, be she eighteen or forty years old. There would be fewer di­vorces if those directions were honestly fol­lowed.

A great number of girls, who marry, learn to cook after they marry. If the husband can't agree with the meals, trouble

It is in her opinion the easiest way to keep house. But when hubby becomes dyspeptic, she will really find out what trouble is.

Some girls have more ambition and-sense than others, but la girl in my opinion should not marry till she is twenty years old and the man !five( years older. Life is not all sunshine, be you married or single. When a girl, marries, she should learn to bear hei troubles like a Trojan and

Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you generally cry alone. Just learn to smile. Tho smile that bubbles from a heart that loVes its fellow men, will drive awuy the clouds of gloom, and coax the ami again.i

BABYIASHI

I n f a n t s ' b o a r d e d f o p 0 3

TO #7PER WEEK AT A BIG PROMT BECA USE THEY REQUIRE LITTLE CARE *

CHICAGO—"Baby farming" has extended as a profitable busi­ness in Chicago.

The profits accrue from starved bodies, neglected and ill-treat­ed children, homeless and dependent upon the ."farmer" with whom they are "boarded" at from three.'£0 seven dollars per week.

Most of the "farms" are situated in districts where tumbling buildings are decaying in filth and neglect. The babies are helpless and have no right of selections; they must suffer in si­lence and often die from disease and neglect.

The first baby farm visited by a re'"the attic, but I'll put your baby In the porter for the • Sunday Tribune waB kept by a middle-aged woman try­ing to care for eight or ten small chil­dren in cramped quarters and under poor conditions. Undoubtedly this woman meant well enough. But she heeded the money. She simply could not devote enough time to each child to give its little life a fighting chance.

A "baby farm" does not mean a place where the grass is green and there are plenty of trees and cows, but a dingy flat in the "yards" or a four-room cottage on a corner where five car lines meet. There is nothing comfortable about a "baby farm" but the income of the woman, who often appears corpulent and luxurious in contrast to the emaciated infants In her charge. Here the babies are all teeth, long hair, and legs, they are so thin. They look like cadaverous blrdB, opening their mouths continu­ously for nourishment which they do not get

Inspection Fear of Keepers. When a Tribune reporter went un­

bidden to one "baby farm" in the suburbs, the woman in charge turned pale and her Hps trembled. She al­most dropped a bottle of soothing sirup she was carrying and gained control of herself only when told that the reporter had a baby to board.

"0/* she said, taking a lopg breath. "1 thought won were from th* board of health. * They are inspeetin' the babies somethin' fierce. Don't allow more than four children to a house, they are gettin* so strict."

Wails from several distressed voices floated down from the attic as she spoke, and there were five children in the room. It was one of those problems of two times two are five, which essayists used to write about in school on composition week.

Mental calculation was> interrupted by the door bell. A pale mother, al­most lost under a sailor hat, and 1n a cheap long coat, stood on the little stoop before the door. She wished to board her ten-days'-old baby, as she had to go to work in a restaurant tbe next day. A whispered conference followed In the doorway. The frail mother crossed the woman's palm with three pieces of silver before she hurried ofT to fetch her baby.

Infante the Choice Boarders. "How old is your baby?" was asked. "A year old," I stammered, not

knowing whether to make an^ fic­titious child real young or not. Then I realized my mistake.

and said: "I get five doUars a week for boardin' this one. She's gettin' her teeth and looks puny, but she's strong."

"I'll pay you five dollars a week, but I must look over the place to see Just where the baby will sleep and what attention you can give it."

The woman slanted her Bhrewd eyes and demurred, haggling for a bargain.

"I hain't got much room. I have four children of my own, and there are my two boarders, my husband, and myself. My father lives with me, too. I can't take no more babies In

most of tha time and don't bother me," she said, shaking the bottle of coi-dial significantly.

parlor for seven dollars a week." I was afraid of the cats in the front

room. Cats the Lesser Danger.

"Nothin' is going to hurt your baby sleep in' down here," she insisted a little coldly, lifting her voice above the wails of the infants in the attic. "I've boarded children goin* on six years, and nothin' has ever happened to one of them."

I insisted upon placing my child in the attic. Then she reluctantly led the way through the kitchen, where I discovered more children. A two-year old boarder in a dirty dress rocked herself wearily near the range. Two other waifs stood on chairs, hacking at a loaf of bread lying on the mussy oilcloth on the kitchen table. A bare hack yard decorated with scraps of old iron and many tin cans could be seen its whole length to the high, unpainted board fence, through the open doorway. This is where the children play.

I stumbled up the attic stairs be­hind the woman, who became wedged in the narrow passageway now and then and stopped to catch her breath. At last we reached the top. It was only a half room up there. I could stand ur> straight only when I gained the middle of the room. On a bed In a dark corner lay eight babies, half undressed, and crying and squirming in uncleanliness. Empty milk bottles and dirty clothes were scattered over the floor. The one window in the at­tic was closed securely* by a nail. I hurried down.

All for the Greed of Money! Eight babies in the attic, eight below,

four children of her own, two board­ers, an aged father, her husband, and herself to care for, all living in four rooms and an attic, this is what the greed for money had led one woman to. Besides, she washed and' ironed and did all her housework while car­ing for the boarding babies.

A bleak wall on an unpaved street was tbe exterior of a certain "baby farm" in a third floor fiat down in the "yards." Pushing the button above the speaking tube in the middle of the wall. I listened. %

"Who's there?" came down through the mouthpiece.

"I wish to come up." "Take the back stairs," came the

answer. Following the broken boardN*alk. I

squeezed between two walls and climbed the rickety back stairs. The surprised German maid announced

the way down on the street car.) AH I had to 40'$t the ittJfifld "fcabj farm" was to look around. , r, ' Roojn fn General t&lsarrafc •

On the -floor in the kitchen lay four babies kicking first one pink sock in the air and then a white one. I no­ticed that the stockings of most of the habiea were not mates. On the kitch­en table stood three clothes baskets, and in* each was an infant wailing plteously. In the corners, on chairs, beside the kitchen range, hanging like cocoons everywhere were baskets with babies sleeping on pillows turned brown from uncleanliness.

There were nine in the kitchen alone. In the next room were _ more frail babies, howling from their go-carts, cribs, and baskets. And in the front room more babies cried. A n

infant covered by a mosquito bar lay apart. She bad sore eyes.

Milk Not Even Boiled. A seventeen-year-old mother Btood

leaning over a sleeping baby in the parlor. "He's mine. Hie name is Fred," she whispered. "Doesn't he look bad? They almost killed him after I left him here six weeks. He was SO neglected that he had spasms. I had to give up my work in the fac­tory and watch him for three weeks. He's still thin. The doctor said he was starving by inches.

"One time when I came to visit him I found' him drinking raw milk that had not been boiled. Another time when I came unexpectedly to see my baby I found a strange baby wearing my baby's clotheB.

"The superintendent of the 'baby farm' is cruel to the older children. She's too strict, doesn't allows them to

jPlay in the yard, and maizes them sit ra a chair all jlay when she is around. She sends them off to school without breakfast, and they have only bread and molasses for lunch. One morning I had a spare hour before I had to be at the factory. I ran down to see my baby. I did not see the alder children eating breakfast. I asked Mary, the oldest child, if she had had her break­fast. She answered that none of the children had.

"As a punishment, the superintend­ent of the 'baby farm' makes the children stand in a corner for hours when they are naughty. She has a dark closet for the mischievous ones. She pours castor oil and other lubri­cants down the throats of youngsters who tell falsehoods or washes their mouths out with strong soap to keep them from telling 'stories.' They must play in/ a subdued way in the kitchen, if they play at all."

Little incentive to Laughter. I glanced at the three little girls

and the one little boy sitting around the kitchen table stacking a deck of greasy playing cards. They looked as if they never smiled.

The maid fished a bottle of milk from the tin boiler, full of hot water, on the kitchen range. She carried it into the second room. A loud scream of pain came from the second room. The seventeen-year-old mother and I ran to the rescue of the Infant in dis­tress. The mother reached the child first. She cooled the hot bottle of milk under a faucet in the kitchen.

"How they attend to babies, giving them boiling milk," snapped the moth­er, trying to relieve the burned child'e pain, while the maid mumbled: "I know how the milk should be. It's not too hot."

It is usually one long, hard struggle with neglect and continuous discom­fort for the children. Two infants were killed from underfeeding at one "farm," the records show; one child is whipped with a rawhide by an at­tendant, the mother claimed; a Saby's fingers were burned: an infant was scalded on the side when the mother called for a visit. Anyhow, the six­teen infants In this "baby farm" in the third floor flat down in the "yards" looked like plants kept away fro-the sun.

Many Reasons for Seclusion. The children are kept housed for

many reasons; because the neighbors do not like to have so many children around, and give the superintendent of a "baby farm" trouble, in finding a flat* because there is danger from contagious disease when infants are taken abroad, or because the woman "farmer" is too proud to let It b< known that she boards babies for r living.

One proprietor of a "baby farm" has four grown daughters who are devo­tees of fashion.

BRICE'S CROSSROADS BATTLE Prominent Part Taken by Third Iowa

In answer to Comrade Riley I wil l give a condensed report from Colonel Noble (Third Iowa cavalry) to Adju­tant General Baker of Iowa, writes W. E . Hayden of Portland, Ore., in the National Tribune, which ought to sat­isfy him as to the part the cavalry took at Brioe's Crossroads: "Headquarters Third Iowa cavalry,

to the part taken by the Third Iowa cavalry.in the expedition unoer Gen. Sturgis. Approaching Brice's Cross­roads, at 11 a. m. f this command went into line of -battle by battalion on the right of the main road, and soon after the artillery opened in front. We then advanced beyond Brice's about 600 yards. After forming in line with the balance of the brigade the cavalry waa dismounted and the horses sent to the rear. Soon after we became heavily* engaged with the enemy, and held them in check for an hour. On the left of our brigade the enemy was driven back three different times. At this Juncture my whole command was re­lieved by. regiments of infantry, and was retiring when the infantry became engaged. We formed a new line ini their rear, rather than to appear to leave them in an emergency.

"The contest lasted but a short time after this, i n d the enemy was hotly pressing his victory, and we took a second position, mounted, to protect the retreating column. A column of squadrons was again formed facing: the enemy and retired by alternate; squadron, keeping the enemy in check.

"Our greatest difficulty was to cros& the Bwamp in our rear, and in it were caught most of the artillery and traini of the army. Arriving at Stubbs' plan­tation, we rested from 11 p. m, to % a. m., when we again moved toward' Ripley, holding the rear. . At Rfpley I found the infantry filling the streets,, and was notified that the enemy was; about to attack on the left. I formed a column of squadrons, faced to the-rear, and at the same time was or­dered to support the Fourth Iowa cav­alry, then in action. Deploying a bat­talion, I or^tred it to the rear, and at tbe same time pushed forward anoth­er battalion in column to hold the road£ ot retreat for the other troops. My ad-

His Private Secretary, Courtland Parks

M y F r i e n d a t B r i d g e JBy Melville Davisson Post

Copyright by Edward J. Clode Oh the evening of the twenty-third

of December I was one of a party at bridge at the residence of Baron AdolphyVoa Hubert on Eighty-sixth street. The baron was the American agent of the Berlin banking house of Weissell & Co.

The little party on this evening con­sisted of Madame von Hubert, the ba­ron, Winfleld Gerry and myself. Young Gerry, who went everywhere among people of leisure, was taken to be enormously rich. His brother, Marcus Gerry, was certainly one of the wealthiest men in New York. He was the largest stockholder, and financial dictator, of the Fifty-eighth National bank. Winfleld Gerry was under thir­ty, a courtly young fellow, almost as handsome as a girl. He was extrava­gant, daring, it was said, and reckless. He had been brought up from boyhood on the continent, I think, and was col­ored with the Latin temperament.

I do not remember ever to have been so fortunate at cards as on this evening. When we arose from the table, I had won $700, of which sum the baron lost two hundred. The re­mainder was the loss of Winfleld Gerry. I was glad of this distribution of the loss. Young Gerry was reputed an idle young fellow with millions at his finger tips.

The baron, keeping his money, like a Teuton, in gold, handed me ten dou­ble-eagles. Mr. Gerry said that he would give me a check at the club, and asked me to ride down town with him in his carriage. We were scarce­ly seated before he turned to me and said, in a quiet, even voice, as though he were announcing a score:

"I can't pay you, Mr. Parks." I turned in astonishment to see if

he was jesting. The electric light in the carriage showed me a face dis­tressingly drawn and tired. There was no pleasantry behind that counte­nance. The solution came to me in­stantly. This man, posing as a gen­tleman, was ' i n fact a cad; he was about to question the regularity of the game, the regularity of a friendly sit­ting at bridge in the house of such people as the von Huberts. I bristled with indignation.

"And may I inquire," 1 answered frigidly, "why is it that you cannot pay me, Mr. Gerry?"

The man did not at once reply. He took a cigarette from his pocket, light­ed it and leaned back on the cushions of the carriage.

"For the best reason in the world, Mr. Parks," he answered; "I have at this moment, to be en rely accurate, Just two hundred and thirty-eight dol­lars and seventy-five cents."

I was greatly relieved. " M y dear sir," I laughed, "I do not expect you to carry about a cash drawer. I knew an Englishman once* whose income was something like a hundred thou­sand sterling, and who did not have a shilling in his pocket from one year's end to the other. I should be glad of your check. I should be glad of any

"You are alone there," he said sim­ply.

My annoyance returned. I detest passagea at banter. "I trust," I said, "tfcat j?ou wttl permit me to under­stand you."

"It would be better, I have no doubt," he said, looking me evenly in the face. "I have not intended to be either obscure or facetious. The sum which I have just mentioned repre­sents al l the money that I have in the world. My reputation for wealth is a mere shell. I owe ninety-five thou­sand dollars, exclusive of this little debt to you. Stable and tailor bills, various club dues, run fifteen hundred more* I owe twelve hundred in over­drafts. It is near a Irandred thou­sand, you see. Against this, I have perhaps five thousand dollars of per­sonal effects; horses worth thirty-five hundred and a bundle of worthless stocks. I am beastly poor, atrocious­ly poor, you see, Mr. Parks." , I listened in astonishment. ' "You wi l l doubtless put me down a

I called, intending to make my excuses to the baroness and depart I found this politely impos­sible, and I sat, down to the table hoping that two hundred dollars would cover my proportion of probable loss/ ' He paused and made a depre­cating gesture. "It was no idle fancy of the ancients to picture fortune a woman. 1 might have known."

Then he stopped, stripped o? his gloves, took out hjs purse, removed two rings* unhooked a Jewel from his tie, and, before I realized what he was doing, handed them all to me. I put back his hand. He thrust the ar­ticles into Ws waistcoat ^pocket and dropped his hand on his knee.

"I thank you for the courtesy," he said, "but you would much better take them. They wil l presently be listed by the referee in bankruptcy. One Brazilian diamond, two* and a half carats, valued at three hundred dol­lars. One imitation ruby, valued at fifty dollars. One baroque pearl, val­ued tit twenty-five dollars. The very

friends were in abundance. I men­tioned his brother, Marcus Gerry.

He said the name over slowly after me, "Marcus Gerry." Then his lips set evenly along his fine, sensitive mouth. But only for a moment. He gave me a swift glance and began to laugh.

"My brother is all right, you know; but he is a commercial factor. His financial sense is sound. A rotten ship is a rotten ship. The captain of it cannot matter a two-pence. Let him step down and off, and the hull go to Davy Jones. Pension the cap­tain perhaps, but cut loose from the derelict. That's Marcus Gerry. That's the sane view." x

We were down town now. The car­riage was turning into Fifth avenue. The young man touched, the driver's button.

"This is your club, Mr. Parks, I be­lieve," he said. "I am obliged by your kindness. Won't you let me give you the gewgaws?"

"By no means," I answered, getting out of the cab. "Please do me the courtesy to forget our game of bridge."

He laughed pleasantly. "Oh, I shall forget it, thank you. Seafaring folk at Bremen say the cable ought always to read, 'Der Kapitah ging mit seinem Schiffe r unter. '" Then he spoke to the driver and closed the carriage door.

I went into the club and got a pony of brandy, a cigar and a chair by the fire. I was greatly sorry for young Gerry. He was an exceedingly pleas­ant fellow. Still, I could do nothing. I had thought the matter over fully. I could, of course, bring him to Ran­dolph Mason, but of what use was that? There was no balance of in­justice to^be squared up here. A reck­less young spendthrift, come to the end of his tether, was all. Mason would have that fact out in a twinkle, and close the door in his face. It was out of the question to fool him. He would pick a man like a vulture at a bone t i l l he got to the marrow. I threw the cigar into the fire. Any­way, Marcus Gerry would doubtless pension the captain of the rotten ship. A L the worst, he would probably be better off than the moBt of us. Then I recalled the German sentence.

"Heinrich," I said to the club stew­ard, "what is 'Der Kapitan ging mit seinem Schiffe unter?'"

"Der Captain vent down mit his ship," replied the man.

A great light came to me. I went over to the table and write on my card, "Come to Randolph Mason to­morrow at eleven. The* old Field mansion off Broadway, below Wall street." Then I sent it to his address by messenger. That would at least gain time; and perhaps the boy would give up the idea of suicide. Then I took another pony of brandy and walked to my lodgings.

I was a little late in arriving on Broadway the morning after the game of bridge. As I stopped to open the old iron gate to Randolph Mason's house, Winfleld Gerry came across from Wajl street and joined me. Ke looked well-groomed and wholesome.

We entered the house and crossed the wide hall to the old-time drawing-room, now used for an office. As I threw back the mahogany door, I ob­served Randolph Mason leaning over the table in the middle of the room. He straightened up, cast a steady, searching glance at young Gerry that ran swiftly over him to his feet, then turned abruptly and walked into the adjoining room, closing the folding-doors behind him.

We entered and young Gerry took a chair by the window. "Was that Ran­dolph Mason?" he said.

I answered that it was. "Unt i l I saw his face," he continued,

"I could have sworn that it was Lie-bach, the greatest surgeon in Europe. He has Liebacb's banW too. But the resemblance vanishes when he looked up. This man's lean, sinewy, pro­truding jaw is almost a menace. He ls not as gray as Liebach, either; and, besides that, Liebach has, once in a while, something gentle in his face, if they do call him the 'Wolf,' in Mu­nich. This man's face looks metallic, as though i t f l igh t ring if you struck it."

1 laughed, tossed him the morning paper, and begged him to excuse me while I can over the morning mail. I was scarcely seated before Pietro ap­peared, saying that Mr. Mason wished to see me. I arose and went into the adjoining room.

Randolph .Mason sat at his table, his elbow on the writing-pad and his chin propped in the hollow of his hand. Before him was a square sheet from his memoranda* files. He began to volley questions in a voice that snapped like the click of a gun-barrel into its block.

"Is Wilder acquitted?" "Yes," I answered; "a per curiam

opinion yesterday. The mandate wil l come down from the United States circuit court of appeals, Monday.1'

"The Atlantic*Canadian Securities?" "Returned out of court, coupons

paid up, costs assumed by the syndi­cate."

"Andre Dessausure?" "Dead," I replied. A t the word. Mason turned over the

memorandum sheet on the table, fold­ed his armis and stared vacantly at tbe rows of bookcases lining the wall. JjPfcia was the enemy beyond J*im. The State department waited a day too long. . The little 'Frenchman had taken to his brazier of charcoal like an im­pulsive son of the Quartier Latin, and Mason had failed.' I seized this oppor­tune mood to get an audience for young Gerry.

"Mr. Mason," I said, " in the next room is another man booked to the same shipping-point."

He turned sharply in his chair. "Bring him i n / ' he said.

I opened the door and requested the young man to come into this private office, although I had little hope that Randolph Mason would even hear his history to the end. I had no hope of his assistance for young Gerry; his case had none of the elements of un­corrected injustice, bringing it within Mason's zone of interest. I expected to see Mason search him mercilessly for a moment, and then drop him as a prospector would a spurious nugget.

Young Gerry entered and remained standing by one of the bookcases near the table. Mason looked at him care­fully for a moment; then he s%id> "How much do you owe?"

Winfiefd Gerry glanced quizzically at me. I reassured him with a nod and he answered, "In round numbers, one hundred thousand dollars."

"For what?" said Maso%, "Borrowed money," replied Gerry. "For what?" Mason repeated. The young man hesitated; then he

said, "I am thought to be rather reck­less where money matters are con­cerned. Horses that 5 are not fast

"I came here with no such plan. I came, in fact, merely to put in the morning/*

There was something sinister in the way he spoke of the morning—like a convicted prisoner, coming up to be sentenced at the afternodn sitting of a court, s ' "Where is this man, Egan Bedford?"

said Randolph Mason. Winfleld Gerry lifted his face in

surprise. "You surely know Egan Bedford," he said; "he is the richest broker in Boston. Egan Bedford & Co. is the firm name; but there 1B no firm and no company, it's all Egan Bedford. He posed a few years as a financial unfortunate, then he grad­ually brought out the covered funds. Today he is one of the largest private bankers In Massachusetts." Then he added, wearily, "The Bcheme of things seems to require a hell. Matters must be adjusted somewhere."

"This one will be adjusted here," said Mason.

Young Gerry smiled somewhat bit­ter ly/ "Snch" a thing is impossible," he said; "quite impossible."

Randolph Mason ignored the words. His face lost its gleaming vitality, as though a curtain were lowered behind it shutting out the light. The effect on Winfleld Gerry was instantly no­ticeable. The atmosphere of stress was lifted. He stretched out his limbs, and looked curiously about him at the rows of bookcases along the wall, the oriental rug on the floor, Ihe scattered volumes on the table, quite as if Ran­dolph Mason had walked out of the room. Then he turned as if to go into the outer office. He was half facing the door, when Mason's chin went up.

with bis houses that you are about to draw a series of checks on the Fifty-eighth National bank of New York, which you wish him to cash and for which you wil l pay him the usual com­mercial discount.

"Also tell him that you have no de­posit in the Fifty-eighth National bank subject to check, but that this bank will arrange with him about meeting the checks, and to take the matter up with it at once. Ypu will say nothing more, and leave the bank.

"On the next day begin to present your checks, payable to yourself and drawn on the Fifty-eighth National bank of New York. These checks will be made out for amounts, respective­ly, in your statement of debts. With the money, as you receive it from each check, you will at once pay that creditor in full, This you will con­tinue until all the creditors are paid. It ought not to require longer than a fortnight."

Mason arose as though to dismiss the audience with young Gerry; then he added, "You will remember to do exactly as I say; do you understand that?" <

"I understand," replied the young man in amazement. "But the thing is impossible. The Fifty-eighth National bank will never shoulder such a loss. These debts aggregate $300,000."

"The Fifty-eighth National bank of New York," said Mason, "wi l l not lose a dollar."

"Then," cried Gerry, now utterly in­credulous, "I do not know how under heaven Egan Bedford can be got to cash the checks!"

"Jt is sufficient that I know," said Mason. Then he got up abruptly and walked out of the room.

I was not present at the conference of Marcus Gerry with Randolph Ma­son. He came on Tuesday evening, when I was at the Cloverdale Hunt German. By request from Mason, Coleman Stratton, Mr. Gerry's counsel* breast. He waived his fat arm at

enough, women that are too fast; usually an explanation Is required to go no further."

I could readily see that he was hop­ing to evade this query.

"What'is the truth about it?" said Mason.

Young Gerry shifted his feet un­easily. "Well*" he began weakly, ''won't that do for an explanation? How can it matter, anyway? The money is gone."

Mason continued monotonously to repeat his question. The young man seemed to go through that period of uncertainty and hesitation common to the court witness who finds himself forced by the examiner either to make a clean breast of his story or stub­bornly refuse to answer anything at all. He chewed his lips nervously, fumbled with the buttons on his waistcoat and stroked gently the angle of his jaw. Mason waited with­out apparent interest.

Finally, he arrived at his conclusion. He dropped his hand as with a ges­ture of resignation.

"Very well," he said; "this is the whole truth: My father and Egan Bedford were financial partners. One day Bedford borrowed all the money he could get in Wal l street on the firm's credit, and apparently used it in an unsuccessful effort to hold up a line of rotten securities, while in fact he secreted the money. A little later the firm failed. Bedford cleared him-seirbf the wreck in bankruptcy. My father paid up the losses out of his private fortune as far as he could. When he died I assumed the remain­der of the loss, about two hundred thousand dollars. I Have paid half of i t ; but I can go no further."

He dropped his Hand limply on his knee, as he had done the evening be­fore in his carriage. Again I was astonished at the contradiction which Winfleld Gerry presented. I studied his face. It was drawn and tired, as i t had been last night I had been wrong about him, wrong about his character, his habits and the causes of his unfortunate situation. This boy was breaking at the knees under the burden of another's wrong. I under­stood him now. The air of reckless­ness was assumed to explain these debts. He was playing the loose spendthrift, while he strc*e to cjear his -father's name and to return what Bedford had stolen. 1 . young Gerry pulled himself to*

gether. "I hardly realize why I have laid this matter open," he continued;

Instantly he fell into an attitude of attention.

"Are you related to Marcus Gerry?" said Mason.

The young man crossed the floor and sat down in a chair. "He is my brother," he replied.

"Then," said MaBon, "this thing is child's play."

The old listless cloud settled again over Winfleld Gerry's face. "Mr. Ma­son," he said, "there Is no hope in that quarter. My brother, Marcus Gerry, 1B not a sentimentalist, as I am. He is a practical person. When one gets a dollar from Marcus Gerry, he leaves two in unquestioned securities until he comes back with the loan. His instincts are those of a banker, human until it comes to tbe money sacks. Do not misunderstand me. My brother would promptly knock down the man who assailed my name in his presence. He would go up to the door of state's prison to crush my enemy. He would grind every moral precept into pulp to pull me out of a hole; but he would not pay out a hundred thou­sand dollars, nor a hundred dollars, nor one dollar, to wipe out this debt which 1 have assumed. I have gone over this matter more than once with him. He is lying in wait for Egan Bed­ford. He has gone to great pains to cultivate amicable relations with him. Bedford & Co. has become tbe Boston correspondent of the Fifty-eighth Na­tional bank, which belongs to my brother. Marcus Gerry wi l l repay Bed­ford i n his own good time when tbe hour finally comes."

"It has come," said Mason. Then he leaned forward in his chair and looked Winfleld Gerry steadily in the face, as one does with a child when he wishes to impress upon him the im­portance of some direction.

"Young man," he said, "attend accu­rately to what I am about to say. You wi l l at once make a careful and correct estimate of the amounts owed by the estate of your father and your­self by reason of Egan. Bedford. W i s statement must be correct. Not a cent more, not a cent less, than the exact sum. You will at once dispose of any property you have in New York, and on next Monday go to Boston and open an office as a broker. Before the end of the week you wil l receive a telegram from Marcus Gerry authoriz­ing you to follow ray directions. On receipt of it go at once to the bank­ing house of Egan Bedford & Co., and say tor Mr. Bedford that you wish to establish a temporary ljne of.credit

and that of the Fifty-eighth National bank, accompanied him. I have ^it from Pietro that the conference ran up to midnight and that half tbe books in the private office were on the floor in the morning. At twelve o'clock Marcus Gerry sent a telegram to his brother, saying to go ahead as Mason had directed. Pietro took this tele­gram to the Western Union office on Broadway. When he returned he passed Marcus Gerry's carriage leav­ing the house.

So the Gideon sign arrived in Bos­ton before it was required. I know accurately what followed . On Monday morning Winfleld Gerry went to the banking house of Egan^Bedford & Co. and explained to Mr. Bedford what he wished to do, as Randolph Mason haU directed. Bedford requested Gerry to return the next morning. He then called up the Fifty-eiRhth National bank by telephone and inquired about the checks. The bank replied that Winfleld Gerry had no deposit there, but that it would guarantee the pay­ment of his checks up to $300,000, and to send it all the checks together by Adams express at the close of banking hours on Saturday. Bedford replied that this arrangement was satisfac­tory; but he required it sent to him by cipher telegram and also by let­ter, which was accordingly done. The next morning young Gerry presented his checks, which were cashed. This he continued to do, until on Thursday evening he had drawn out $297,000 and had paid all the creditors of his fa«

"I be l ieved said M t S t r a t t o ^ ^ h a t i the Fifty-eighth National bank held;: no deposit upon which these cheeks . could be drawn."

A light of cunning came into Epan Bedford's face. "I know that," he said; "but the bank is better than any man's account. I made the bank stand goc^Ior the checks,". '_. ;

"How?" said Stratton, and I thought there was the faintest shadow ot a smile fitting about the corners of hie eyes.

Bedford's broad face lighted wi th victory. He thrust his band into the bosom of his coat, took out a let ter and a telegram and spread on* the table. "There," he said, "is the bank's guaranty in black and white and yel­low." Then he added, with a sneer, "I guess your bank's not broke; is i t?"

The lawyer moved some papers un­til he found a printed statement. "The' bank," he said, "has assets valued at thirty-five millions of dollars; its lia­bilities are some ten millions. That would be, I believe, twenty-five mil­lions above insolvency."

"Then," said Bedford, ul want my money."

"Doubtless," replied Stratton. Bedford exploded with anger. "I am

tired of this confounded nonsense!" he shouted. "If the bank won't pay these checks, I will sue it."

"Then you will lose," replied the lawyer quietly.

"Lose!" cried Bedford. "The bank guaranteed these checks, 1 tell yoa. There is the guaranty; don't you see it?" and he pushed the papers across the table with his fat hand.

"I see it," said the lawyer; "but i t is not worth filing room."

"What?" shouted Bedford. "This guaranty of the Fifty-eighth

National bank," continued Stratton, "is utterly void."

Bedford plunged back on his heels like a man struck violently in the

his counsel, whom he hitherto had Ig­nored. "Judge," he gurgled, -judge, do you hear that?"

Judge Hacker, whose knowledge of the law is s a i d to equal t h a t of any practitioner in New York, arose and came over to the table. He nodded to us, then he spoke quietly to his con­frere in the law.

"Stratton," he said, "give me accu­rately your position in th iB matter."

Coleman Stratton touched an elec­tric button, scribbled a memorandum on a scrap of paper and handed It to the office b o y who entered. Then he turned to Judge**Hacker.

"This contract of the Fifty-eighth National bank with Egan Bedford & Co. is one purely of guaranty, and is ultra vires on the part of the bank. The Revised Statutes of t b e United States g i v e a national bank no author­ity to guarantee the debts o f another. A national bank, as you are aware, cannot exercise powers in excess ot those .conferred upon it by statute. Egan Bedford & Co. and, for that, a l l persons equally with the bank are bound to take notice of the statute. The guaranty is void and the bank is not liable."

Judge Hacker listened attentively. "Have you the Revised Statutes?" he said.

"Yes," replied Stratton, haadfng him the volume. "Section 513*.w

Judge Hacker opened the book on the table and began to read it care­fully. In a moment he looked up. "Do you know of an authority construing

The judge had been occupied with t simple but Ingenious toilet. He ad trimmed the frayed skirts of his

coat; then, by turning his cuffs In-mlde out and upside down a fresh sur­face made its first public appearance. Next his shoes had engaged his at­tention. They might have well dis­couraged a less resolute and resource-

"He would come, and. I hadn't the heart to forbid i t If I can be of any service to you, ma'am either in the capacity ot a friend—or professional­ly—I trust you wil l not hesitate to command me—" The judge backed toward the door.

"Did you walk out, Judge Price?" asked Betty kindly.

"Nothing more than a healthful ex­ercise—but we wi l l not detain you, ma'am; the pleasure of seeing you ls something we had not reckoned on!" The judge's speech was thick amd unctuous with good feeling. He wished that Mahaffy might have been there to note the reserve and dignity of his deportment.

"But you must let me order lunch­eon for you," said Betty. At least this questionable old man was good to Hannibal.

"I couldn't think of it, ma'am—" "You'll have a glass of wine, then,"

urged Betty hospitably. For the mo­ment she had lost sight of what was clearly the judge's besetting sin.

The Judge paused abruptly. He en­dured a moment of agonizing irreso­lution.

"€m the advice of my physician 1 dare not touch wine—gout, ma'am, and liver—but this restriction does not apply to corn whisky—in modera­tion, and as a tonic—either before meals, immediately after meals or at any time between meals—always keeping in mind the idea of its tonic properties—" The judge seemed to mellow and ripen. This was much better than having the dogs sicked on you! His manner toward Betty be­came almost fatherly. Poor young thing, so lonely and desolate in the midst o f all this splendor—be surrep­titiously wiped away a tear, and when little Steve presented himself and was told to bring wnlsky, audibly smacked his Dps—a whole Jot better, surely!

"I am sorry you think you must hurry away, Judge Price," said Betty. She still retained the small brown hand Hannibal had thrust into hers.

"The eastern mall gets in today, ma'am, and I have reason to think my share of It will be especially heavy, for it brings the bulk of my professional correspondence." In ten years the judge had received Just: one communication by mail—a bi\i which had followed him through four states and seven counties. "I ex­pect my secretary—" boldly fixing Solomon Mahaffy's status, "is already dipping into It; an excellent assist­ant, ma'am, but literary rather than legal."

Little Steve reappeared bearing a silver tray on whic^ was a decanter aad glass.

"Siuce you insist, ma'am," the Judge poured himself a drink, "my best re­spects—" he bowed profoundly.

Bowen, who has been here—since—** her voice broke suddenly.

"I understand, ma'am," said the judge soothingly. ; He gave her a glance of great concern and turned to Hannibal. "Dear lad, you'll be very quiet and obedient, and do exactly aB Miss Malroy says? When shall 1 come for him, ma'am?"

"I ' l l send him to you when he ls ready to go home. I am thinking of visiting my friends In North Caro­lina, and I should like to have him spend as much time as possible with me before I start for the east."

It had occurred to Betty that she had done little or nothing for the child; probably this would be her last opportunity.

The state of the Judge's feelings was such that with elaborate ab­sence of mind he poured himself a second drink of whisky; and that there should be no doubt the act was one of Inadvertence, said again, "My best respects, ma'am," and bowed as before. Putting down the glass, he backed toward the door.

"I trust you wil l not hesitate to call upon me if I can be of any use to you, ma'am—a message wil l bring me here without a moment's delay." He was rather disappointed that no allusion had been made to his recent activities. Her reasoned correctly that Betty was as yet in ignorance ot the somewhat dangerous eminence he had achieved as the champion of law and order. However, he reflected with satisfaction that Hannibal, to re­maining, would admirably serve his ends.

Betty insisted that he should be driven home, and after faintly protest­ing, the judge gracefully yielded the point, and a few moments later roiled away from Belle Plain behind a pair of sleek-coated bays, with a negro in livery on the box. He was con scleras of a great sense of exaltation. He felt that he should paralyze Mahaffy. He even temporarily forgot the blow his hopes had sustained when Betty spoke of returning to North Carolina. This was life—broad acres and nig­gers—principally to trot after you toting liquor—and such liqruor!—he lolled back luxuriantly with half-closed eyes.

"Twenty ,years in the wood If an hour!" he muttered. "I'd like to have just such a taste In my. mouth when I come to die and probably she has barrels of It!" he sighed deeply, and searched his soul for words with which adequately to describe that whisky to Mahaffy.

But why not do more than paralyze Solomon—that would be pleasant but not especially profitable. The judge came back quickly to the vexed prob­lem of his future. He desired to make some striking display of Miss Malroy's courtesy. He knew that his

Betty Leaves Belts Plain. Hannibal had devoted himself loy­

"Why, where would Judge Price get so much money, Hannibal?" she asked, greatly astonished.

"He won't have tu get it, Miss Bet­ty; Mr. Mahaffy says he don't reckon no one wil l ever Jel l who wrote the letter—he 'lows, the man who done that will keep pretty mum—he Just dessent te l l !" the boy explained.

"Np, 1 suppose not—" and Betty saw that perhaps, after all, the judge had not assumed any very great finan­cial responsibility.

j"He can't be a coward, though, Han­nibal!" she added, for she under­stood that the risk of personal 'Vio­lence which he ran was genuine. She had termed her own unsympathetic estimate of him that day at Boggs' race-tragk; Mahalfy in his blackest hour could have added nothing to i t Twice since then she had met him in Raleigh, which had only served to fix that first impression.

Farmers, gardeners and fruit grow­ers can not fence out the many .forms of insects and fungi which live upon their crops" and which are as anxious for a harvest as is the grower. It ls a fight between the grower and the pest and the latter has generally had the best of the ; battle. The farmer has not been, properly equipped. He has often had invisible foes—foes which he did not understand, hence couid not assail them and the gen­eral result has been that the insect cr the fungus obtained an ample sup­ply of nourishment and the grower has taken what was left hut thanks to science, he need suffer i n igno­rance no longer.

Power In Knowledge. A study of the Investigations and

experiments which have placed in the hands of the intelligent grower ef­fective methods of warfare is as in­teresting as It is Important; it re­veals an educational movement which 6tands ^unparalleled In the effect , it has had in broadening the horizon of the agriculturist. It has forced him to see that there is more in his busi­ness than, following the rule-of-thumb process so long in vogue., It has em­phasized the power of knowledge and It has demonstrated and is daily im­pressing the fact upon all who take tho trouble to see, that it requires more brains than brawn to succeed in an occupation at which formerly even the most ignorant could be at least fairly successful. The ignorant are going to the wall, and the student—the "book farmer" if you please, is push­ing them along and filling their places when they are gone.

ly onr many inquiries about Bordeaux mixture and its use, it will be suf­ficient to say that in 1886 a great

To Make Bordeaux Mixture. The "Normal" or 1.6 per cent Bor­

deaux mixture is made by dissolving 6 pounds of sulphate of copper in 32 gallons of water, while in another ves­sel 4 pounds of lime is slacked in 13 gallons of water; the two liquids are then slowly mixed and the prepara­tion is ready for use. «

many men conducted experiments to test the value of the* compounds of copper, very few Dther substances be­ing used, and among them was A. Millardet, professor in the Academy of Science, Bordeaux, France, and to him may justly be given credit for discovering the value and use of the preparation which was destined to prove superior to all fungicides that have been used to this day, and which is now so well known under the name of Bordeaux mixture, and readi­ly made on any farm.

The composition of the "Standard" or 3.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture is as follows:

The dried sugar beet pulp is a most excellent feed, and, like silage and roots, more valuable than a chemical analysis seems tp indicate. The pulp is almost as valuable, pound for pound, as the original beets from which it comes. The pulp is soaked in water a few hours before feeding. One peck of pulp when soaked will make a good bucket of thick slop. The usual ration for a cow is one peck of the soaked pulp mixed with two quarts of corn chop a n d two quarts of wheat bran, fed morning a n d evening. After this is eaten the cows are given a forkful of mixed hay, with straw at n o o n . The cows fed thi9 ration give a large quan­t i ty of good, rich, well-flavored milk and fatten up fit for the market with four months' feeding. Cows that will come fresh in the edrly sprtng should be allowed to go dry at least four weeks before calving. Dry cows can be kept In good, thrifty condition on chaffed cornstalks and oat straw, with one quart of corn chop to a bushel of chaff. Those giving mtlfc should get a bucket of warm slop twice a day to each, made by mixing one pint of corn chop, one pint of linseed meal and one quart of wheat bVan , in addition to mixed feed.

Keep the stables clean, well lighted and ventilated. A l l stock, cows espe­cially, should be carded and brushed down every morning. Stock cattle and young stock are less liable to have skin diseases If the h}de is thoroughly cleansed and kept fri>? from scarf or dandruff. A little wrude petroleum rubbed over bare* spots will soften the skin and promote the growth of hair. This oil Is excellent for cuts and sores. First wash the sore with warm water and castile soap, wipe dry with clean cloth and then rub in the oil. Crude petroleum is better for this purpose than the refined oil as it has more body and greater healing properties. The oil may be had from any of the large paint stores for 12 cents per gal­lon.

632 N . 6th St., Terre Haute, Ind.— "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then hie would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong s,oap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The lfttle blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed, I put the Cuticura Oint­ment on and in a short.time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got as well and it did not leave a_scar; He v^as entirely cured in atiout one week and a half."

The Other Way 'Round. A good little story, long current in

England, is just now gaining Amer­ican circulation. It has for leading characters Rudyard Kipling and Doro­thy Drew, Mr. Gladstone's little grand­child. Kipling was visiting HaWar-den, and, being fond of children, de­voted himself to little Miss Dorothy until her , anxious mother expressed the hope that the child had fot been wearying the great author.

"Oh, no, mamma," spoke up Doro­thy, before any one else had a chance to say anything, "but you have no idea how Mr. Kipling has been weary­ing me!"

Child's Fear of the Dark. If mothers notice that the brains of

very susceptible organization and the sights and thoughts from the shadows of a room more or less dark, let the light burn -brightly. To force a child to become accustomed to the darkness is a grave error, if its nervous system is so organized that this forcing ls productive of a fright,

The nervous system of a child is a very susceptible organization ond the deleterious impressions made upon it will often make their influence felt throughout its whole after life. If the child asks for a light under such cir­cumstances do not refuse it.

For School Commissioner

Miss MaUde Benjamin The present commissioner, will greatly appreciate your vote at the primaries Aug tfst 27th.

Lansing, Micb. Aug 15,1912. Dear Sir:--Replyingr to your letter

of August 14, will say that Miss Ben­jamin s work as Commissioner of Schools of Livirgston County has been satisfactory to this department.

Yours verv truly, L. L. Wright.

T r u t h A l w a y s W i n s As shown By Tbe Following Letter

From Snpt. ot Public Instruction through some unacountable source, tbe report bas gone out that Miss Maude Benjamin, County Commiss­ioner of Schools, has received a lee from teachers who attended the sum-, mer school at Tpsil anti.

W. H. Callaffhan of Tyrone having beard the report and desirous of knowinc the exact truth as regards the rumor, wrote the office of Supt, of Public Instruction for tbe required information and received the follow­ing letter in reply, which will be seen brands the report as false, and has heen circulated only for the purpose of injuring Miss Benjamin's prospects at tbe Primary August 27. , Lansing, Aug, 12, 1912. Mr. W. H. Callafhan,

Tyrone, Mich. Dear Sir: — Replying to your

letter of August 9, will say that Miss Benjamin does not receive one cent for tbe teachers from Livingston County wbo attend tbe summer school at Ypsilanti.

We are holding the Summer Insti­tute at tbe State Normal and as Liv­ingston County is near Ypsilanti we call the Livingston County Institute at Ypsilanti,

Yours very truly, SMtl L. L. Wright.

Commmiicatlon August 17,1912

Roy W. Caverjy, Pinckney, Mich.

Dear Sir:— . Permit me -to thank you for the privilege of speaking to your readers through tbe columns of your paper. No doubt they are aware of the fact that I have opposition for my re-nom­ination for Congress.

i It remains tor the Republicans of the 6tb District to decide whether or not they care to be longer represented by a Republican who bas had several years ot legislative experience, and wbo has sought at all times, acd und­er all circumstances, to extend every courtesy and kindness possible to all bis constituents, or one who I am sure makes no claim of having had any legislative experience whatever. In a word, and in all kindnessw I respect­fully ask the" Republicans to lookup tbe fitness and qualifications of my Republican opponent and decide for themselves. * Owing to the fact that Congress is still in session, I have been baudicapp ed in making my contest, believing it to be my duty to remain in Washing ton during tbe closing hours of the session, rather than to return to Mich­igan to look after my contest in the primaries. I believe this course will be much more satisfactory to my con­stituents, and tor this reason, I shall all the more appreciate the efforts of my friends in my behalf.

I hope every Republican will be at primaries August 27tb, using bis in­fluence and vote for my re-nomination which will be greatly appreciated.

Sincere<y yours, 34tl ' S . W . S M I T H
