The ex­tremes were 97 degrees and 47 de­grees. Showers occurred at most sta­tions in the northern and central counties. They were very beneficial and at many places the drought was relieved. More than an inch of rain fell at a few stations. These showers were practically the only precipitation during the week.

Project Many Trolley Lines.The Electric Traction Weekly prints

a list of 53 new electric railway pro­jects in Illinois. Most if not all of these have been mentioned in one way or another in the daily papers when the company was organized or when­ever some other Important move was made, but when they are all compiled in one list it makes a formidable show­ing. Some of the projected lines will never lie built while a number of oth­ers will be. Ten of the lines are Mc­Kinley projects and doubtless there Is a serious purpose on the part of the McKinley people to build all of these. Others are important links which will connect lines already in operation and these are certain to be built sooner or later. In most cases the amount for which the companies were capital­ized signifies that the organization was only tentative.

Much Expected of New Roadway."if this road comes up to our ex

pectatlons, Illinois farmers will soon have the best country driveways all of the states.”

A. N. Johnson, engineer for the state highway commission, thus re ferred to the new asphalt oil road now In progress of construction from the turn of the street railway track at South Grand boulevard and Wushlng ton park around to the illini Country Club in Springfield. The road is novelty in this section of the country There is nothing else like it this side of California, where the roads are made by sprinkling crude oil. several times a year over the surface of the driveway. The “Country club road, as it has come to be called here, is wholly different. Mr. Johnson said "We are mixing the soil with asphalt oil and using a solution six inches deep for this roadway. Of course it is only an experiment as yet, but believe it will make good. We are mixing the oil with the yellow soil of this vicinity just now. but other ex perlments are under headway. For Instance, over in Bement, Platt county they have the pure black earth. Else­where gravel prevails and in both places we are mixing the asphalt oil with these elements to learn which Is the better adapted for the compound What is asphalt oil? I must give up that question for the present. We will have it analyzed by a chemist and learn its ingredients. This asphalt oil road,” Mr. Johnson went on to say "is far cheaper than macadam. While the latter will cost $4,000 a mile, as phalt oil can be put in for from $1,600 to $2,000 a mile. The road under construction at the Country club in eludes three-quarters of a mile, more than half of which is now finished, passes through the Iceland farm, the Wiggins estate and the Country club's property. All of the property owners are enthusiastic over the prospects ofthe job.” --------Final Report of Grand Jury.

Dawson They are indicted for alleged failure to suppress the riot when detailed for that duty Sheriff Warner, Chief of Police Wilbur Morris. Capt. Charles Walsh of troop D., Springfield, and other officers are commended by the grand jury. The report condemns al leged "cowards" among the officials, and says: ' After the most diligent inquiry we condemn in unmeasured terms the cowardly, contemptuous ac tion of those members of the police force who. having taken the oath of office, failed to do their duty.”

Attempt to Turn Meeting of New York’s Unemployed Into Lawless

Demonstration la Prevented by the Police.

"Listen! you there expended churches

New York.—An attempt was made Monday to turn u meeting of unem­ployed workingmen into an anar- chlstic demonstration, and for half an hour the big meeting hall in Cooper Union, where the meeting took place, was the scene of wild excitement, during which red flags were raised, the police denounced anil incendiary speeches made.

Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who some years ago shot Henry C. Frick, a steel company official, during the Homestead strike in Pennsyl­vania, was dragged from the hall by the police and locked up. A young woman who gave her name as "Mary Smith,” and who stood by Berkman, was also arrested, and Emma Gold­man, recognized leader of the "reds” In this country, was made to leave the hall.

Dr. Ben Reitman was on the pro­gram for a speech on the "Care of the Unemployed,” hut It was not noticed that he had anything to say on this subject. Dr. Reitman urged the un­employed to cease submitting to labor. He denounced public institutions and then said:

This is anarchy, hut 1 tell should he fewer thousands in the maintenance of

and the police, and the money should he expended in caring for the unemployed such as you. and not spent in keeping up such super­stitions."

At this point Charles Oborwager, a former president of the Central Fed- dated union, was introduced. He de­nounced tlie preceding speaker, de­claring Dr. Reitman had preached the doctrines of anarchy This caused an outburst and during the excitement Berkman sprang to his feet and de­manded to he allowed to take the plat­form to defend the anarchistic doc­trines in which he believes.

The Man W ho Could W alk Straight

B y Frank Burnham Bagley

(Copyright. by Bhortstory Pub. Co.)Though he had been called an ex- ] else veered to the left In walking, hia

^.itement seeker, Grafton Rouse was ! tendency was la the opposite direction.not then looking for excitement, but merely for the easiest route a guide could show him from the western side of the Andes to the eastern pampas. The happenings of every day—yes, every hour—such as creeping along the verge of a precipice on a trail scarce wider than his two hands, oi leading his burro over hairlike swing­ing bridges, with the earth a few thou­sand feet below—he had come to re­gard as minor incidents.

They had reached the point of great­est altitude on their Journey and were Just entering, through a cleft In the solid rock, an absolutely level plateau, covered with short grass, when five inen, as though actuated by a common spring, suddenly emerged in front.

While two of the. bandits kept them covered with their carbines, the oth­ers bound them hand and foot and led them some distance toward the middle of the plateau, where they were dumped from their donkeys and robbed of everything of value.

After that they were fed. which somewhat allayed the apprehensions of Rouse, who had been studying his captors and doubted If five more repul­sive or even equally villainous looking rascals could be assembled.

When at the close of their repast they had taken a few puffs from Rouse's best cigars, they appeared to expand with a feeling as near akin to good humor as anything of which they were capable, and seizing this opportunity, Rouse quietly asked for one of his own Perfectos. The man who, gaping with astonishment, hand­ed it to him, said:

"Enjoy It, senor, for you'll have to walk straight this afternoon.”

“Can you walk straight?" continued the joker, and the laughter ceased.

"Morally, l can; but physically not at all—for I limp.”

This seemed to be considered even more humorous thau the bandit's badinage, and sent the ruffians Into a roar of merriment

Rouse thought that ominous. No thorough scoundrel laughs In that way without meaning harm to someone. Hut, as lightly as possible, he In­quired:

"Which kind of straight walking didyou mean?"

“Well, physically, senor; and It’s pretty Important for you.”

In a little while they unbound the guide's feet, leaving his hands tied behind hint and bandaged his eyes. One man lay down and gazed steadily across the plain. Rouse tried to fol­low his glnnce. but could discern noth­ing but tho unbroken plateau, extend­ing for some miles to the next range of mountains. Stretching out an arm and sighting along It as one might a rifle, tho prostrate man held It stead­ily pointed at the object of his scru­tiny. The two men holding the guide faced him exactly In the direction In­dicated and released him, telling him to walk straight ahead.

Whatever the game might be. It was soon evident that the guide would not prove a success, for he was gradually veering to the left. As this became more apparent, the laughter of the la- drones rose higher and Rouse’s uneasi­ness Increased. A vague but powerful dread Impressed him with a sense of swiftly impending calamity. The next moment he almost laughed himself at his Indefinite fears. What harm could IKtsslbly befall a man on that level plain? If their captors meant to kill them, why had they not already done so? They had made no movement to­ward their weapons, which lay stacked with their saddles. If they let the gjlde go far enough he might make a break for the mountains, and—

A movement as of expectancy among the men at his side brought Rouse from his revery with a shudder and drew his wandering attention back to the guide, who was still drifting perceptibly to the left. The next In­stant he had disappeared!

There, on the level plain, he had gone from sight In a flash.

That was the fateful moment for Grafton Rouse. It was then that hla hard common sense and Iron nerve struggled for mastery over the form­less fear tearing at his soul—and won. The single second In which he knew that he was again master of his old self was the happiest of his life— even If It were to be the last.

Another moment was left him for swift and vigorous thought, while tho murdera*s were still enjoying their ghastly entertainment. It was evi­dently vital that he should walk straight But coulA he—and how? His active memory loaped back to child­hood days, when the human cubs with whom he sported mocked his slight infirmity, and with frank, boyish bru­tality nicknamed him "Olmpy” How he had set his teeth together, and, time and again, practiced walking a crack in the pavement with his eyes shut, till he could beat any symmetri­cal boy of his acquaintance. If he ceuld but recall Use trick—for It waa a trick!

There was a stir among the robbers, who began to rite.

Route thought latently. He remem

Ah! Now the details came back to him. He had corrected the trend to the right by giving the left foot a half shift outward at each third step! He would try It, and could only hope that Increase of height and weight and age would not affect the result.

Now his time had come. With many bad jokes at his expense they removed the gag and the rope about hia legs, but plunged him In darkness by bind­ing his eyes.

Grasped again by rough hands, he was held one long, dreadful moment, during which he saw In his mlnd'B eye that figure of a man on the ground, silently pointing out the sole road to safety! Then he was given a slight turn into a position from which he was careful not to swerve the fraction of an inch. Then came the dread command:

“Walk straight ahead!"It Is difficult—perhaps Impossible—«

to convey to one who has not under­gone Buch an ordeal any conception of the dread, the horror, the shrinking, sickening fear that crushed down In the darkness upon the stout soul of Grafton Rouse. With every other sense but sight sharpened by his peril, he could hear upon the short turf the stealthy footfalls of the assassins, drumming a death march. An inward echo of the poor guide’s last awful cry sounded In his ears.

Amid this tumult of emotions, some old acquired habit of cerebration kept accurate count of his footsteps, and every third time the left foot touched the ground it was shifted automatical­ly outward the fraction of a circle.

There was no laughter behind him now, and the silence waa encourage-

“Walk Straight Ahead!”

ment indeed; he must be walking straight. On and on he went, such an Interminable distance that he began to Imagine himself alone, and had an Impulse to make a dash for the moun­tains, but controlled himself.

A few steps farther on, his foot came suddenly in contact with some­thing that gave iilm the keenest thrill he had yet experienced, and he held back Involuntarily. Was It death—or life and liberty? His other foot, be­fore he could check the motion, joined tho first upon a board, which emitted a hollow sound.

“Halt!" came a ringing order, the most welcome he had ever obeyed. "Congratulations, senor, you walk straight Indeed, for a lame man."

A murmur of approval from the oth­er voices' convinced Rousae in an in­definite way, but with an infinite re­lief, that he was somehow saved.

The cords around his wrists were cut. but at the same time his legs were tied again. After waiting a long time for further orders, with the band­age still over his eyes, he raised his hands to remove It, half expecting to be shot for his temerity.

The sight that met his blink 'ng eyes was, even after the Intangible .errors of the darkness, a shock that sent a wave of horror sweeping through him, and brought him tottering to his knees, clinging for life fo a narrow plank!

He found himself upon the end of a swinging bridge spanning a volcanic rift cleft clean through the middle of the plateau, aB sharply as though cut with a mighty saw. In its depth It was abysmal, and In that awful trench of a titanic battlefield lay the remalnv of all those wretches who had beea bidden to “walk straight”—to God!

When Rouse conld take his eyes from the black chasm he had escaped, he saw hla burro hitched to tho single poet supporting one end of the guard rope of the bridge. The robbere were half way back to their ojm mounts. When be bad untied hie legs and led hie donkey across the gulf, he natur­ally reached for the Winchester swung on the pommel, and was not surprised to find It ampty and the car> t rid go belt gone, but when he unrolled hla blanket that night on the eastern slope of the Andes, and both belt and money fell out, he almost wished hehad returned the oourteona hat-wav*

bared that, while almoet everybody of the bandits aa they rode away.

The horse needs salt as well as the other animals.

You cannot afford to overlook the fertility question.

Never water a horse when he Is hot and tired and then let stand.

A change of diet Is all a horse needs sometimes when he Is off his feed.

Wide fires have an Important bear­ing upon the question of good roads.

From 81 to 83 per cent, of the corn crop of the United States is fed to livestock.

The feet of the road horse will be sounder If dipped In a pail of water every day.

Wash the harness thoroughly with a good harness soap and, after drying, oil thoroughly.

Systematic and Intelligent manage­ment Is required to get eggs the year round from the flock.

Don’t crowd the training of the colt. Re sure he has mastered one thing be­fore starting on another.

It is said that the temperature of countries with sandy soils is higher than those whose soils are of a clayey character.

Scours in young animals can often be checked by wheat flour scorched and mixed with skim milk and the yolk of an egg.

Sow the spare field to rye. Sown now It will make good growth before cold weather and completely cover the ground for winter.

Form the acquaintance of your colts early, and keep their confidence by llt- tlo tid bits and an occasional petting. Begin the training early.

leaves of clover hay constitute Its most nutritious part, and for this rea­son It should bo fed In tight mangers, to that none of It will be lost.

Silage is valuable as a maintenance feed for the winter, whether the ani-

[ mals are to be slaughtered lmmedlate- | Iy or carried over for summer graz­

ing.

i Give the work horses a few days off In tho fields occasionally. They will accomplish more work when put to It again than they would without the rest.

The best horse for the farmer Is not the fast roadster, but the fast-walking draft horse In training colts always put them with the fastest walking horse you have.

Four things must be reckoned with In estimating tho value of an animal dip, namely, efficiency to destroy para­sites, non Irritating effects, ease of preparation and cost.

Inspect and repair the harness at frequent intervals. It will prove the truth of the old adage that “ a stitch In time saves nine" Nay, more, it may save a serious accident.

You and wife need a vacation. Take It by goins to the state fair. It will reat and refresh the body and put new

| ldoas into your head, plus the energy i needed to carry them out.

Why raise weeds when the garden patch will grow late crops. After the

| early vegetables are out of the way always plan to put In something else

i that will do well in the late fall.

The stock need salt. Don't trust your memory to feed It to them at In­tervals. Have It In a receptacle to which they will have access at all times. They will only eat what Is good for them.

An excellent radon for shoates when raised by hand is made up of boiled skim milk, flaxseed, brown sugar and a little salt. A cup of flax­seed to a gallon of milk is about the right proportion.

The tuberculin test as now used Is considered by some of the more con­servative agricultural experts as little better than guesswork, and that as a result thousands of perfectly healthy cows are and have been sacrificed needlessly.

It Is a mean horse, Indeed, that does not want to please. For this reason It Is safe to conclude thst when he does not respond to a command be has failed to understand. Be patleat and be sure that the horse knows what r n w est him to do before punishing Mm.

Clean out the neat boxes frequently.

Wet the com before putting In the silo If it la extra dry.

Keep the young chickens growing. Green food Is essential.

The vitality of alfalfa Is much les­sened by letting It stand very long after the proper time for cutting.

It Is the cow which the man Isanxious to sell that you cannot afford to buy.

Keep only as many chickens as you have room for. Crowding Is always disastrous.

8alt, fresh water and kind words go a long way In Inducing the cow to fill the milk pall.

Speltz when ground and mixed with bran or commeal makes a good feed for milk cows.

Do you know how to run your farm as well as you think you know how to run the country?

The stanchion Is a cruel thing to keep the cows In during fly time, un­less the stable Is screened.

Kerosene makes a good spray to use in the chicken house, only be careful of Are'or lighted matches after using.

One does not have to look at the average farm orchard twice to know that It Is the most neglected spot on the farm.

Dirt Is the great enemy of milk. From the feeding and handling of the cow to the final disposition of the milk you cannot be too careful.

It should not be necessary to re­mind you that the separator should be washed and scalded each time it Is used. Washing It out with clean cold water is not sufficient.

Eggs that are uniform In size and color find a more rfeady market and a better price than eggs not so assorted. This Ib one of the strong arguments In favor of one breed of hens.

The farmer has na on* to blame but himself when his soli becames Impov­erished. for both by crop rotation and the raising of livestock he can put more into the soil each year than he takes out.

The dairy farm needs power of some kind. In purchasing an engine get one that will do more work than you will require of It. It will make Its running easier and will provide for In­creased business.

Tests made by the Minnesota sts tlon Indicate that pork can be pro­duced with less grain by hogging off the corn than by feeding It In the ear or snapped In the yards. Hogs fed In the field showed a gain of at least one-third more than those fed In the yards.

After the first year It Is almost im­possible to Judge the age of a hen, and for this reason leg bands should be used to prevent you from sending the young hens to market and keeping the old ones. The cost of the leg bands Is as nothing compared to tho conveni­ence of knowing each individual fowl. Register the numbers in a book and under each number keep a record ol the hen bearing that number. In thlr way you will be able to deal intellt gently with your flock and make your profits more.

A wallow for the hogs la a good thing In the summer time for It helps them to keep cool. One of cement may be made by digging a hole 15 Inchet deep and ten feet square. In the bot­tom pack six Inches o! coarse gravel or cinders, and on this lay three Inches of coarse concrete. Smooth off the surface and raise the sides six inches higher. This makes a shallow basin, which will make a good sani­tary wallow, and a barrel of water a day will be sufficient to keep It going. If you have running water which can be piped Into the basin, so much the better.

A method of curing alfalfa hay with­out the uao of hay cape which has proved successful Is to cat the alfalfa In the morning as soon vs the dew is off, allow it to remain In the swath as late In the afternoon as possible and yet get it raked before the eve­ning dews fall and then put It In tall cocks, If It looks like rain; otherwise leave it In the windrow over night. If the next day is sunshiny the hay is scattered after the dew Is off, allowed to dry until late afternoon and put In the barn. If the weather Is not favor­able for drying, more than two days will be required to cure the hay.

Here are some feeding maxims by Prof. Beach which we are glad to give space to among tho Meadow- brook Farm Notes; The more food the cow can be induced to eat, the more milk she will produce. Cows do not usually consume more food than they can properly digest. The ration, therefore, should be made as palatable as possible In order to Induce the cow to eat large quantities. The larger the amount of protein In the ration, the larger the milk flow. Protein In the ration Is essential to the production of the milk. The less energy required to digest the ration the larger the milk flow. The richer the ration, the rich­er the manure. The dairy farmer must look here for a large part of hla profit. No two cows can be fed alike. Each must be studied differently. la- crease the protein In the ration aM watch the milk flow.

Worden.—The town of Worden waa bitterly divided over the recent ar­rest of Rev. Curweln Henley, pastor of the Worden Methodist church, on a charge of disturbing the peace, and over a damage suit filed against him at the same time. The disturbance case ended in the pastor's discharge, and the suit, In which George Vesper, one of the minister's neighbors, charged defamation of character, waa withdrawn about the same time. But the controversy growing out of the case raged In the town. Rev. Mr. Henley has been a leader in the fight, thus far an unsuccessful fight, on the saloons He considers this the true explanation of his recent troubles, which caused him seriously to consid­er requesting a transfer to some other field. While on the lawn In front of his home the minister heard sounds from Vesper's home which caused him to think that Mrs. Vesper needed help. Several men were standing at a near­by corner and PaBtor Henley called to them: "Get a policeman. George Ves­per is beating his wife." The sounds next door ceased, no policeman earner and the neighbors did not venture upon Vesper's premises. But the next day a policeman did call on the min­ister and arrested him on Vesper's complaint for disturbing the peace.

The young widow, who is a cultured southern girl, claims she married the doctor three years ago in a small Kentucky town, but de­clines to state what place. She came here recently to be near her husband during his illness. When he died the parents got possession of the body and, with the aid of the law, forced Mrs. Covington to keep away front the services.

"There are 2 kinds of clergymen Blshups recters and curats. the blah- ups tells the recters to work and the curats have to do it. A curat is a thin married man but when he is a recter he gets fuller and can preach longer sermons and becums a good man.’*— Washington Star. ■

The State Fair.U U M U A U O I I ’S A I R S H I P .

Capt (1. L. Bumbaugh, of Sthas closed a contract w ith the state board of agriculture for several sensational trips with tiis air ship. The

j exhibition is to take place on the state fjtu grounds at Spriiigtield, on Monday, September 28, and Thursday, October 1 The first is children’s day and the latter govenor’s day a t the state (air. ( >n these days Capt. Bumbaugh prom­ises to sail in his air ship from the state fair grounds to the city of Springfield, three miles distant, and land in the state house grounds on the east side of the capitol building. After examining the machinery of his machine he pro­pose.-. to use in the ail, and return to the fair grounds, landing at the place of starting

This is the most sensational trip and doubtless w ill be witnessed bv thous­ands of people. The Illinois hoard of agriculture is to he congratulated for providing this exhibition, particularly as so much interest is being show n all over the world in aerial navigation.

Capt Bumbaugh is under contract to do this and also to make daily (lights during the fair. On some day he will race an automobile with his air ship. This attraction eclipses anything of the kind heretofore offered by any fair management.

u o v k n u r ’s d a y .Inasmuch as the republican candi­

date for vice president. Hon. James S. Sherman, will be in Illinois during the week of the state fair, efforts are being made to induce chairman Hitchcock of the national committee to send him to the state fair at Spriiigtield on Thurs­day. Oct 1, governor's day. It was re­presented to Mr. Hitchcock etliat Mr. Sherman's visit would tend to bring to­gether those elements in the republican party that are now making faces a t each other. He would meet a larger crowd than he possibly could gather anywhere else in Illinois. Mr. Hitch­cock is considering the matter.

A F A M O U S O R A T O R .For the entertainm ent of the visitors

at the state fair on Sunday, Sept. 27, <’«en Z. T. Sweeney, the noted author and lecturer, will deliver his lecture on “ The Golden Age.”

Cen. Sweenev enjoys a national rep­utation as a brilliant and eloquent ora­t o r ami his lecture will he a great treat to those who hear bun.

The lecture will he given at the woman's building at 2:30 o’clock on Sunday and the Weber q u arte tte of Chicago and the Illinois Watch Fac­tory hand have been engaged to furn­ish the music for the occasion. The lecture by Gen. Sweeney, together with the music of the splendid hand and quartette, will he well worth hearing.

All buildings will he open to visitors on this day for the inspection of ex­hibits, hut no machinery or other ex­hibits will he permitted to he in oper­ation

The Illinois Watch Factory hand will also give a sacred concert in the afternoon

The Harvest Moon.The sun w ill erros the equator off

the sky and autumn will l>egin on Sep­tember 23 at 0 p. m This is the in­stant known as the autumnal equinox. The full moon occurring nearest that

i date, that is in this year the full moon of September 10 is known as the har­vest moon. For several days before and after this date the nearly full moon will rise at about the same hour each night, so that at this time the evenings will be made beautiful by an unusual amount of moonlight. The early farmers of England did not doubt that this phenomena was especially de­signed for them so that they might have an unusual succession of bright nights on w hich to gather their harvest.

life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs.

If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism# backache, peri­odical pains, indigestion, dys­pepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak.

X - C O U R T A S ' TROLOGER AB­DUL HUDA’S New Year’s of­fering to the sultan of Tur­key will be the former's head.

This is the latest bit of wireless news from the im­perial palace at C o n stantinople, and it is vouched

for by Lord High Guardian of His Maj Jesty 's Wearing Apparel Mafid Mohammed, who whispered the wordsac ro ss the plaza to a tall blonde ladywho was Interested in s ta rs before they th ru s t Huda into jail.

It all came about In this m anner:At a recent s ta r chamber session

between his majesty and the court astrologer, Huda informed the sultan th a t as far as he could discern by daylight the orbs of the universe were

’ In the ir correct positions, thus lending security to the monarch.

PALACE OF THE SULTAN IN CONSTANTINOPLE.

eye pinned upon the th rea t tha t the em pire would be disrupted by the mal­contents .

Then he fired the cabinet.And appointed a new one.F inally a minor palace official a t ­

tem pted to locate his m ajes ty 's vitals between the ruffles of the la tte r 's coat ef mail.

Each day as his majesty smoked his long pipe, dismissed these d isturbances by a new shifting motion, the impres­sion began to gain strength -with him t h a t all was not serene.

T he use of the word serene in his thoughts immediately recalled the s ta r predictions of Abdul Huda. but then no be l te r star-gazer was to be found in the empire, for had not the imperial guardian of the Turkish empire tested him many times and found tha t Ab­dul’s predictions were always true? Be had.

Then mentally the sultan w ent over w h a t his astrologer had told him only the Friday previous.

Mars, the s ta r which portended for war, was gradually fading away, and Huda had also said that within a few weeks there would probably be no Mars.

The big dipper, suggestive of the horn of plenty, was brighter than ever. It was true, for had not Huda In all h is wise raving said it?

i Mercury, the swift one, whose ex- tee was a memory of work, waa

to go into a perpetual total •cl Ipse, so bad Abdul said.

Huda’s inside reasoning had also de- tbe eventual onion between

alter and Venus, which, of course.

augured well for friends of the sultan.Surely, then, the re was no cause for

trouble, the ru ler soliloquized to him­self. He paused and pondered and then lit up with a new kind of to­bacco.

Fifteen minutes elapsed.“Ha, I see it all.” he whispered to

the royal fox te rr ie r . "H uda 's in bad with the s ta rs .”

Then in a loud voice:"Corporal of the imperial guard,

f ro n t!”In came the trus ty band, weapons in

hand.“H un t up Abdul Huda, royal astrolo­

ger. and bring him hence,” ordered his majesty.

W ithin a few minutes. Huda, his trunk packed for his vacation, was ushered into the regal presence, well knowing tha t the signs had been switched under his eyes.

“Off with his h ea d !” shouted the sultan, rising from the divan.

Fifteen brown forearms pulled 15 shining sabers and were ready to de­liver the fatal s troke with the same regularity th a t governs up-to-date mel­odrama.

“Stay, slaves," quoth his highness, "I would fain give him a worse pun­ishm ent before I am ready to deprive him of what li ttle gray m a tte r there may be beneath th a t bald pate. To the dungeon with him.”

The day’s routine over, th e sultan re-seated himself upon the divan and thought of w hat had best be done. Finally he decided th a t there could be no place just like jail as a punish­ment, and so Huda remained there.

However, the story goes, the former Btudcnt of the s ta r s will offer up his head on New Year’s day as his sacri­fice for getting into the evil graces of the stars.

Previously every th ing had looked splendid to the monarch. T he Young T urks had not objected to bis harem until H uda got in bad with the planets and many of th a t par ty had promised to leave the country ra th e r than be called to purgatory by decapitation.

As each step in this fearful condi­tion of things cam e to his mind his royal highness decided th a t It looked d a rk e r for Abdul H uda’s bead and also ra th e r dark for Abdul Second’s safety, the la t te r being the su ltan himself.

T h ere was no one else to blame it on except the astrologer. Had not his plea of sickness when o ther nations pressed him for the re tu rn of their loans, always been sufficient to quell them ? It had, and he could see no o ther reason for the s ta tus than by re­tu rn ing to his original reason.

If th ings w ent wrong in this m a n ­ner H uda m ust have been In league with th e palace camarilla.

A double tap a t a secret bell, an order shouted down the speaking tube and the officials of th e palaco cam aril­la were pinched.

This retinue Included Rlza Pasha, th e former m in is te r of war, and Rag- hib Pasha, one of the just ly exalted and highly honored court c h a m b e r tains. Because he considered the dig­nity of his position Raghfb barricaded himself within his cyclone cellar a few plazas from the royal mansion and prepared to sell his life as dearly as possible. H e opened fire on the police, but his am munition soon gave out and the minions of the law es­corted him in to the royal presence, who meted ou t 30 days and costs in the royal dungeon.

Because the court soothsayer’s re ­port had been doctored, the sultan set about to corral the en tire body of hangers-on, who daily loafed nboat the

court. This done he issued notice th a t parl iam ent, rep resen t ing the people, would be held in the fall.

H e had to issue the notice himself, for the form er power behind the th rone— Achmod Izzet Pasha, his sec­re ta ry — smelling the trouble by a far b e t te r method than th a t which the as tro loger possessed, skipped the coun­try and a few days la te r was reported in the United States.

T hen in view of the new order of th ings with in his realm, Abdul II de­cided to call home his am bassadors a t foreign capitals . Hence not long ago we read in press d ispatches that Mehmed All Bey had been recalled from W ash ing ton and a successor ap pointed. T he T u rk recalled from th* nat ional capital is no o ther than the fa th e r of the missing secretary , and as a consequence it was expected th a t th e pair would connive together as to the bes t mode of procedure In the presen t case, for both might be m ade a par t of the consignment of corpses which the sultan had billed for the morgue on New Y ear’s day.

T hus by the foregoing will be seen th a t th ings a re in a bad way in Turkey,

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty In buying paint materials. There uro many so-called white leads on the m arket, which contain chalk, zinc, barytes, and o ther cheap adulterants. Unless the property owner takes ad van tage of the simple means of pro tectlon afforded him by reliable white lead manufacturers, he runs great risk of getting an inferior and adulterated white lead.

I t is to protect the paint-buyer aga inst fraud and adulteration that National Lead Company, the largest m akers of genuine Pure W hite Lead, place their famous “Dutch Boy Paint e r" tradem ark on every keg of their product, an absolute guaran tee of Its purity and quality. Anyone who wants to make a practical test of whito lead, and who wants a valuable free book about painting, should address Na­tional Lead Company, Woodbrldge Bldg., New York, and ask for te**- equlpment.

W este rn railroads have their equip­m ent in perfect order for the handling of business and the general m anagers of the roads west of the Missouri r iver are all expecting a heavy traffic this fall, says an O m aha dispatch to the New York Herald. Business is s tead ­ily progress ing- in both freight and passenger lines, and from every indi­cation this fall will be one of the busiest seasons the western roads have eve r had.

“L et the business come, and come with a rush. The western roads are ready for it and expect it,” is the com­bined expression of the general man­agers of Union Pacific, Burlington and N orthw este rn railroads.

General M anager Mohler of the Union Pacific says: “W e are antici­pat ing an Increase in business and we are prepared to handle It. We have our equipm ent in such shape tha t we a re p repared for the fall rush. We have m ainta ined a large force of men in th e shops and have been working on our equipm ent until everything is In first-class order. The tremendous crops which are now maturing In Union Pacific te rr i to ry guaran tee our road a business to its capacity for the com ing fall and winter."

George W. Holdrege. general m ana­ger of the Burlington lines west of the Missouri river, says: "This talk about le tting the rolling stock run down in o rder to save expenses is all bosh. We have m ainta ined a large force of our repa ire rs all the time, and our equip­m en t is in first-class shape. The Bur­lington has a few bad order cars, but we are in shape to turn them out as fas t as we w an t them, and we expect to need them soon, every one of them.

General Manager W alte r of the N orthw es te rn lines west of the Mis­souri, says: “Instead of the North­western line re trenching in the m atte r of ca r equipment, we have done just the opposite.

D iv in g f o r a L o c o m o tiv e .Sometimes a diversion in the cus­

tomary work of recovering sunken | property would occur. It was a loco­

motive on one occasion; she had a t ­tempted to cross a tres t le and had toppled over in 30 feet of water bot­tomed by mud.

"Get her up?" said Capt. Scott. "Certainly. W here ’ll I put he r?”

"Back on th e rails.” said the m an­ager, with a laugh at the impossibility of the task.

"All r ight; she’ll be the re In the m orn in’ ’’—and she was.

It was bu t the work of half a dayfor Capt. Scott to rig up a pair of sheer poles, drop beside In his diving dress, pass some heavy chains under the boiler and between her axles, hook a block into a ring, take a turn on a hoist ing engine aboard his wrecking tug, open a s team cylinder—and up she came. To lower her gently to the rails and wash her clean of the mud with a nozzle a t tached to the hose of his s team pump was the last service.

“T here ." he said, when she was scrubbed clean, “now git a fire under her and pull her out; sh e ’s In my way.”— F. Hopkinson Smith, Every­body’s Magazine.

employment os a forester under the government. In addition to these g raduates of forest schools, 15 o ther candidates passed the examination.

Twenty-two of the new appointees are already a t work on various n a ­tional forests, tak ing p ar t In the ir ad ­ministration, and 17 have been a s ­signed to different projects connected with the technical study of silvicul­ture. Forest as s is tan ts are men who have completed the ir preliminary tra in ing for the profession of forestry, as the g raduates of a law or medical school have completed theirs, and are ready to en ter on practical work. Un- 11 they have gained experience In

the ir work, however, the ir positions are necessarily subordinate. They are a t the foot of the ladder and m ust prove the ir fitness in order to mount higher. The government pays them $1,000 a year a t the start .

On th e national forests the forest ass is tan t often ac ts as adviser to the supervisors In charge, who a re w est­ern men experienced In all practical m atters , but usually w ithout school t ra ln lug ’fn the science of forestry.

T here Is a growing In teres t in the profession of fo re s try now, and many young m en are ask ing how to ge t into i t and w hat i t promises. Gifford Pinchot, the governm ent forester, has la tely w r i t te n on th la subject:

“To be a good fo res te r a m an should com bine som ething of the n a tu ra l is t with a good deal o f the business man.

of the kind th a t likes to get things done, and does not give up when th ings a re not going his way.

"T he professional fo res te r cannot hope for big fees and cer ta in pleasant surroundings of life which crown dis­tinguished success In some o the r pro­fessions. The first prizes which are bestowed upon the gfoat lawyer, the em inent physician, a re not ye t open to him. He m u s t be con ten t without much luxury; be will have to spend a good deal of t im e out of reach of the ordinary comforts. He m u s t be able and willing to rough It w ithout com­plain t—to sleep on hard beds, ea t homely fare, endu re prolonged exer­tion and get a long with plain people. On the o the r hand, if he is a t all fitted for his profession—and a few weeks of ac tua l fo rest work or good sum mer-school w ork will te ll him w hethe r he Is o r not—the re is open to him a very r ich rew ard—life In the open, in the m ids t of beautiful, hea lth ­ful and congenial surroundings, crea­tive work of unm atched usefulness In any m ater ia l field, a place of large re ­sponsibility and dignity, and with It all a fair living.

"If the fo reste r’s tem p eram en t Is scientific he will have the Joy of the d iscoverer and orgt, riser of knowl­edge In a r ich and a ld ly i t virgin field, while If It be p rac tica l h e will have the chance of sha ring In a national w ork of p rim e Import an oe to ou r peo­ple both now and hereaf te r .”

injured alongside the track and the fireman busy on the back of the tender , the Grand T runk flyer, east bound, ran for miles with no guiding band a t the th ro tt le and with the 300 passengers In the coaches calmly gaz­ing out of the windows Ignorant of the fac t th a t they were riding on a run­aw ay train , says a Battle Creek (Mich.) correspondent.

F in ish ing hlB work on the tender the fireman re tu rned to the cab to find the eng inee r’s seat vacant. He brought the tra in to a stop and backed i t up until the engineer was found, ly­ing beside the t rack with his left arm and left leg broken, one shoulder crushed, and his skull fractured.

I t Is supposed the engineer lost his balance In leaning from the window or gangw ay to look for a hot box.

Dr. B. Halstead S cott , of Chief so . Ills., says: “ I have prescribed 70011 Castoria often for In fan ts during my practice, and find It very satisfactory."*

Dr. William Belm ont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castor ia stand* first In its class. In m y th i r ty years of practice I can say I never h av e found an y th in g t h a t so filled the place.”

Dr. J . H. T af t , of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria a a d found i t an excellent remedy In m y household and private practice toe m any years. The form ula Is excellent.”

Dr. R. J . H am len , of Detroit , Mich., says: “ I prescribe you r Castoria extensively, as I have never found anyth ing to equal i t fo r children’s troubles. I am aw are th a t there a re Imitations In the field, b u t I a lways see th a t m y patients get F letcher’s.”

D r.W m . J M cCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the f a th e r of th ir teen children I certainly know something about your g rea t medicine, and aside from my own fam ily experience I have in my years of practice found Cas­toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”

Dr. J . R. Clausen, of Philadelphia , Pa. , says: “The name th a t your Caa* to r la has made for Itself In the t^ns of thousands of homes blessed by th e presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse­m ent of the medical profession, b u t I, fo r one, m ost heartily endorse i t an d believe i t a n excellent remedy.”

Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., Bays: “Physicians generally do nod prescribe p roprie ta ry preparations, bu t in the case of Castoria m y experi­ence, like th a t of m any other physicians, has ta u g h t me to make an ex­ception. I prescribe your Castoria In my practice because I have found i t to be a thoroughly reliable remedy fo r children 's complaints. Any physi­cian who has raised a family, as I have, will jo in me In hea r t ie s t recom­mendation of Castoria.”
