A well-modulated voice, speaking the king's English with ease and accuracy, 1B a possession which lends a grace to the most humble. Ever since the tribute of poor, distracted Lear to his dead Cordelia, the voice "soft, gentle and low" has been esteemed "an excel­lent thing in woman," and to-day there is especial timeliness in a plea for the refined voice, not only In wo­men of gentle breeding, but in those who, far and wide in this great land, —behind counter and in kitchen and on the street,—shriek and yell at a helpless, suffering public. There is often, if not always, some sort of an examination by which it is sought to test the fitness of girls who wish to be clerks or waitresses; but no one

Terrorized the Town. Driving into Tekonsha about mid­

night, three armed robbers broke into the postoffice and blew open the safe and escaped with about $1,400 in stamps and money. Two citizens who chanced along were held up at the muzzles of revolvers and pistols were fired into the air by the men as they left to intimidate the residents. Though practically every man in the village was in pursuit 15 minutes later they escaped. The men secured &i\ entrance to the building by means of a duplicate

The Railroad Commission. Judge Person, of Lansing, has de­

clined the place on the new s ta te rail­road commission that under the law must be given to a Democrat, so Gov. Warner has offered the place to James Scully, of Ionia. Scully was at the state iulr grounds Wednesday, and said he would accept. The new com­mission will be Scully, a Democrat; GialgQw, the present commissioner, and George Dickinson, of Oakland county, both of the latter being Repub­licans. Scully was a member of the legislature during the late Gov. Pln-gree's two terms and the leader of the Democratic minority.

key. Two explosions were heard, arous-ever thinks to ask one question which I lug the village and shaking the earth ought to be asked: "Is it pleasant to hear you speak?" A certain girl who sells stockings In a big city store sets forth their merits in a voice so pleas­ing that her customers are sure to buy more than they need. But only a few steps from her counter, the ticket seller at a subway station keeps cry­ing, "One dollar!" "Twenty-five cents!" "Fifty cents !" In a voice so nasal, harsh and penetrating that it offends every sensitive ear and af­fronts every patron of gentle spirit. For any public servant—whether man or woman—a gentle voice and a gra­cious manner are worth advancement, declares the Youth's Companion. The tone and air which give unconscious pleasure are all' too rare among hur­rying Americans; but where they do exist they are a precious possession. A waitress in a railroad restaurant, being praised for her kindly attentlve-ness and refinement, replied, "I al­ways think that there is one thing I can do like the finest lady in the land I can speak like her!"

for a block around. The burglars had stolen tools from a blacksmith shop and a horse and buggy and drove rap­idly from the village a moment after the safe was opened.

County and village officers and vol­unteers are scouring the country In search of them and it is believed that if they are discovered a pistol battle will follow. Surrounding towns have been notified of the burglary and asked to look for the men and the police of Toledo and Chicago have been informed.

Committed Suicide. Frank P. Van Horn, late superin­

tendent of carriers in the Jackson postoffice, but who wus under arrest on a charge of stealing from the malls and at liberty on $1,000 bail to appear before the federal grand jury at De­troit, September IB, committed suicide by hanging himself in the barn at his residence Wednesday morning. He had been melancholy several days, realiz­ing thai imprisonment was staring him in the face, having admitted his crime to the postoffice inspector who arrested him.

Marriage and Society. The fundamental character of a so­

ciological point of view is that it looks ahead. To the sociologist the individ­ual is nothing as an individual; he is concerned with the life of society, which outlives many generations of individuals. This it is which endows marriage with its supreme impor­tance for him. He leaves It with the psychologist to inquire as to the com­parative worth of marriage and other forms of *ex relation to the Individu­al; but he must inquire as to its in­fluence upon the future life of the no-ciety in which it occurs. Marriage vindicates Itself in his eyes because it furnishes the one perfect condition for the young generation, whose busi­ness it is to continue the life of soci­ety. Thus the sociologist looks with entirely distinct interest upo* the two kinds of marriages. The childless mar-

Miserably Perished. Half buried in the muck of a swamp

on the farm of William Piatt, of Porter township, the body of Wellington Jones, once the leader of the notorious "Monkey Run" gang of counterfeiters, was found by Piatt Monday night. Jones had apparently been dead for t o ; t a m m , t th<? d i s e a s t > several days, Wellington Jones, once the owner of ICO acres of Cass county farm land and^ considered wealthy be­fore he became u criminal and during the time he operated before being de­tected, was toward the last reduced to bitter poverty. It was on \ trip to a neighbor's house, in the hope of rais­ing a few dollars on his last and most valued possession, a set of carpenter tools, that he stumbled in the swamp and, too weak to rise, met his end.

Show the World. Some interest ing information hear­

ing on the dispatch of Admiral Evans ' battleship fleet to the Pacific Is pub­lished, credited to a high authority.

The administration, it is stated, does not mean to confine the fleet's move ments to the Pacific coast. The presi­dent 's plan is to send the warships on to Hawaii and then to the Philippines after their visit to California ports. When orders are issued for their re­turn the route designated will ba via the Suez canal. Thus the fleet will circumnavigate the globe.

It is further learned tha t in the meantime the Atlantic coast will not be left unprotected, but tha t at the instunce of President Roosevelt the navy department has already begun to plan the mobilization of another fleet to replace that under Admiral Evans.

The flagship of the new fleet will be the N^whampshire, a 16,000-ton battle­ship which is to be ready for commis­sion early in January. As soon as possible she is to be joined by the Mississippi and the Idaho, two first-class battleships now under construc­tion by the Cramps and nearing com­pletion. TheBe three powerful vessels will have as consorts three veterans of the Spanish war, the battleship Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts, which are now being modernized.

This fleet of six battleships will have as its auxiliaries the three new scout cruisers which are almost ready for service, the Chester, Birmingham and Salem. Subsequently the new Atlam tic fleet will be reinforced by the two 10,000-ton battleships Michigan and South, Carolina, and the two fast ar­mored cruisers of 14,000 tons, the North Carolina and Montana. The New Hampshire is similar to the Connecti­cut, Admiral's Evans' flagship, in type, but the Idaho and Mississippi, which are 13,000 tons each, are of a type peculiar to themselves. Thev are noted for the power of their armament not­withstanding their relatively small tonnage. The Chester, Birmingham and Salem are of 3,750 tons each, and they are to be capable of 25 knots an hour speed.

The report is probably based on a special dispatch from Shanghai, which says that the United States has taken a five years ' lease of Norvik bay, south of Vladivostok, and has also leased for next winter the floating dock at Vladt vostok. Acting Secretary Newberry, of the navy department, said there was no truth in the Shanghai report Re­garding the report tha t the United States had leased for next winter the floating drydock at Vladivostok, Mr. Newberry said: "That would be just as much use to the navy as a canal on Mars."

EASY MONEY.

Tho Balding-Hall Co.'s Affair* A r t in Sad snaps.

The dftcovery by the creditors of t h e Belding-Hall Manufacturing Co., of Belding and Chicago, that Jesse Hall, president of the company, had appro­priated a t least $315,000 of the com­pany's funds to his private use, led to the appointment of a receiver. .

All of this money, as far as can he learned, was invested in mining, real estate and other ventures which made no money, the combined stock. of which the creditors are willing to-sell for less than $4,000.

The F i r s t National hank, of Chi­cago, which holds notes of the com­pany aggregating $100,000, will s t a r t criminal proceedings, it i s said, t o br ins Hall back from Canada, as t h e creditors believe that he will not re­turn voluntarily.

It is expected that the amount tha t Hall borrowed as well as $40,000 loan­ed to others will be a total loss, a s he owned nothing except $80,000 worth of stock in the company.

Frank A. Jones, secretary of the American Trust & Savings bank, of Chicago, has gone to Belding to take charge of the factory in an effort to pay the creditors of the company as largo an amount as possible. It is es­t imated by Jacob Newman, attorney for the receiver, that the company will be able to pay 65 cent& on the dollar to creditors after running ex­penses of the factory are paid. The liabilities of the company are esti­mated a t $700,000 and the assets at $450,000.

The missing man's two children are living at h is home in Winnetka in charge of a housekeeper, and it is said that they have scarcely enough money with which to meet household ex« penses.

A Wild, Weird Tale. Fritz Troxler, a Swiss peasant, who

came to Hagerstown from Baltimore recently and was employed by various building contractors, rushed into po­lice headquarters and declared to the policemen tha t he had- heard of a plot to kill President Roosevelt. He said he was a member of a secret society, organized to counteract the influence 3f the anarchists . Troxler, £ h o came to America from Switzerland seven­teen months ago, spoke very little English. A German interpreter, after conversing with Troxler, gave his opin­ion that Troxler was sane. Troxler took the officers to his boarding house and showed them a lot of documents, including a card containing the name of a dealer in fire arms. He said the persons who threatened the president 's life purchased their weapons from this firm. Just ice Hartle later dismissed Troxler, who was locked in a cell for the balance of the night. Troxler told Justice Hartle that in Baltimore, while seated at a table in a res taurant he overheard a German and a Russian discussing a plan to kill President Roosevelt. The officers regard the Swiss as slightly deranged.

Qroevenor "Joshes" Sometimes. "Tariff revision, perhaps, free trade

never, not even if the Democrats came into power," sums up the opinion of Gen. Charles H. Grosvener, the veteran Ohio politician. Gen. Grosvenor has gone to Europe for a complete rest. He has no definite plan, but will re­main in London for a few days, then go to the continent and return to America in October.

"The prosperity of the country is so real," said the general, " that no one. is very anxious for a change. The re cent slump in Wall street didn't mean anything to the country at large, ex­cept that we have been doing too much business and doing it too fast. We can slow up a little without checking the good times.

"Meanwhile we go on making horse­shoes and other commodities for free trade England just, to Bhow how well protected Industries can compete in the world's markets . Protection has so proved its value to the country that the Democratic party itself 1B inclined to leave the tariff alone.

"I don't mean that the rank and file of the party are stand-patters, but at heart they are protectionists, and the tariff plank in the next .Democratic platform will be a protectionist plank."

CHAPTER VU^-Continued. Bob Brownley threw himself into

the Union Pacific crowd first giving an order to a group of his brokers, who jumped for a number of other poles. Almost Instantly the panic was stayed and stocks were bounding upward two to five point* at a leap. Bob continued buying Union Pacific and his brokers other stocks in un­limited quantities. Nothing like such a quick turn of the market had been seen before. His power to absorb stocks seemed to be boundless. It was estimated that personally and through his brokers he bought over a million shares before he joined me and left the Exchange.

I looked at him in wonderment. "Bob, I cannot understand you," I said at last as we turned out of Broad street into Wall. "It seems as if you work with magic. Everything you touch turns to gold."

He wheeled on me. "Yes, Jim you are right. Gold, heartless, soulless gold. But what is the dross good for? What is it good for to me? To-day I suppose I have made the biggest one-man killing in the history of 'the Street.' I must be an easy twenty-five millions richer in gold than I was this morning, and I had enough then to dam the East river and a good section of the North. But tell me, Jim, tell me, what can it buy In this worldjfcthat I have not got? I had healtn and happiness, perfect health, pure happiness, when I did not have a thousand all told. Now I have fifty millions, arM I know how to get fifty or five hundred and fifty more any time I care to take them, and I have only physical and mental hell. No beggar in all the world is so poor in happiness as I. Tell me, tell me, Jim, in the name of God, if there is one— for already the game of gold is rob­bing me of my faith in Hod—where can I buy a little, just a little happi­ness with all this cursed yellow dirt? What will it get me in the next world, Jim Randolph, what will it get me? If I had died when I was poor, I think you will agree with me that, if there is a heaven, I should have stood an even chance of getting there. Now on a day like to-day, when you see the results of my work, the results of my handling of unlimited gflld, you must agree that if I were taken off I should stand more than an even show of landing In hell where the sul­phur is thickest and the flames are hottest."

We were at the entrance of Ran­dolph & Randolph's office as he pour­ed out this terrible torrent of bitter ness. He glared at me as a dungeon

•prisoner might glare at his keeper for his answer to "Where can I find liber­ty?" I had no words to answer him. As I noted the awful changes In every line of his face, the rigid hardness, the haunted, nervous look of despera­tion, which seemed a forerunner of madness, I could not see, either, where his millions brought any hap­piness. His hair, which, once was smooth and orderly, hung over his forehead in an unparted mass of tan­gled curls, and here and there show­ed of white. Bob Brownley was still handsome, even more fascinating than before the mercury entered his soul, but it was that wild, awful beauty of the caged lion, Ir^hlng himself into madness with memories of his iost freedom.

"Jim," he went on, when he aaw I could not answer, "I guess you don't know where I can swap the yellow mud for balm of Gilead. I won't both­er you with my troubles any longer. I will go up-town and see the little girl whose happiness Tom Reinhart needed in his business. I w A go up and show her the pictures in this week's Collier's of the fine hospital for incurables that Reinhart has so generously and nobly built at a cost of two and a half millions! The lit­tle girl may think better of Reinhart when she knows that her father's money was put to such good use. Who knows but the great finance king, may dedicate it. as the 'Judge Lee Sands Home' and carve over the entrance a bas-relief of her father, mother, and sister with Hope, Faith, and Charity coming from the mouths of their hanging severed heads?"

Bob Brownley laughed a horrible ringing laugh as he uttered these aw­ful words. Then he beat his hand down on my shoulders as he said in a hoarse voice, "Jim, but for you I should have had crimps in that jackal philanthropist's soul by now and in the souls of his kind. But never mind. He will keep; he will surely ke«D until I gel to him. Every day b t lives h« wtll be fitter for the crimp­

ing. Within the short two years since ke finished grilling Judge Sands' soul, he has put himself in better form to appreciate his Teward. I see by the press that at last his aristocratic wife haB gold-cured Newport of Its habit of dating back the name Reinhart to her scullionhood, and it has taken her into the high-Instep circle. I read the other day of his daughter's marriage to some English nob, and of the dis­covery of the ancient Reinhart family tree and crest with the mailed hand and two-edged dirk and the vulture rampant, and the motto, 'Who strikes in the back strikes often.' "

He left me with his laugh still ring­ing in my ears. I shuddered as I passed under the old black-and-gold sign my uncle and my father had nail­ed over the office entrance In an age now dead, an age when Wall street men talked of honor and gold, not gold and more gold.

In telling my wife of the day's hap-

CHAPTER V I I I .

A number of times during the fol­lowing year, and finally on the anni­versary of the Sands tragedy, Bob carried the Exchange to the v9rge of panic, only to turn the market and save "the Street" in the end. His profits were fabulous. Already hie fortune was estimated to between two and three hundred millions, one of the largest in the world. His name had become one of terror wherever stocks were dealt in. Wall street had come to regard his every deal, from the moment tha.t he began operations, as Inevitably successful. Now and again he would jump into the market when some of the plunging cliques had a bear raid under way, and would puf them to rout by buying every­thing in sight and bidding up prices until it looked as though he intended to do as extraordinary work on the up-side as he was wont to du on the down. At such times he was the idol of the Exchange, which worships the man who puts prices up as it hates him who pulls them down. Once when war news flashed over the wires from Washington and rumor had the cab­inet members, senators, and congress­men selling the market short on ad­vance information, when the "Stand­ard Oil" banks had put up money rates to 150 per cent and a crash seemed inevitable. Bob suddenly smashed the loan market by offering to lend one hundred millions at four per cent; and by buying and bidding up prices at the same time, he put the whole Washington crowd and its New York accomplices to disastrous rout and caused them to lose millions.

Into his wild brown eyes came a ffjei-enlng look of fear.

"Stop, Jim, for God's sake,', 4on'l say that to me. My cup is Jull how. Don't tell me I am to have that crime on my soul." He thought a moment "IS tioo'tt Hnow whether you mean it, Jim, but I can take no chances, not for all the money In the world, not even for revenge. Walt here, Jim." He yelled for his brokers, and seveial rushed to him from different parts of the room. He sent them back into the crowd while he dashed for the Amalgamated-pole. The day was saved.

Presently he came back to me. "Jim, I must have a talk with you.

Come over to my office." When we got there he turned the key and stood in front of me. Ilia great eyes looked full into mine. In college days, gaz­ing into their brown depths, by some magic I seemed to. see the heroes and heroines of always happy-ending tales, as the child sees enchanted creatures far back in the burning Yule log flames. But there were no joyous be­ings in the haunted deptha of Bob's eyes that day.

NOT AFRAID FOR HERSELF.

Child's Only Thought Was of Damage She Might Do Train.

One day last winter a Vermont girl named Rosa HlneB, 14 years old and a farmer's daughter, drew her sled to the crest of a hill half a mile long and then took a slide. Just beyond the foot of the hill are railroad tracks, and as her sled got under motion she saw a train coming. She couldn't stop, and she saw that there must be an ac­cident, so 3he waved her hood and shouted: "Get out of my way! Get out of my way, or you'll be run over!" The engineer saw the girl waving her hood, even if he didn't bear her words, and he brought a long train of freight cars to a sudden stop just in time to let her shoot by the engine. This is probably the first time in the history of railroading when a girl on a sled was given the right of way over a train. When she was afterwards scolded by her father she naively re­plied: "Oh, I wasn't scared for myself. I was afraid of bunting the train of the track."

"Where Can I Find Liberty?"

penlngs I could not refrain from giv­ing vent to the feelings that consum­ed me. "Kate, Bob will surely do something awful one of these days. I can see no hope for him. He grows more and more the madman as he broods over his horrible situation. The whole thing seems incredible to me. Never was a human being in such perpetual living purgatory—un­limited, absolute power on the one hand, unfathomable, never-oool-down hell on the other."

"Jim, hQW does he (to what he does? I cannot make out anything I have read or you have told me, how ho creates those panics and makes all that money."

' ^ o one has ever been able to fig­ure it out," I answered. "I under­stand the stock business, hut. I can­not for the life of me see how he does it. He has none of the money pow­ers in league with him, that 's sure, for in the mood he has been in dur­ing the past two years It would be im­possible for him to work with them, even if his salvation depended on i t I The mention of any of the big 'Sys­tem' men drives him to a fury. He j has to-day made more money than ) any one man ever made in a day since 1 the world began, and he had only com- | ntencod his work when he quit to please mo. As I stand in the Exchange and watch him do it, It seems com-monplaco and simple. Afterward it is beyorid my comprehension. At the gait he is going, the Rockefeller. Van-derhilt, and Gould fortunes combined will look tiny in comparison with the one he will have In a few years. It is beyond my power of figuring out, and it gives me a headache every time I try to see through i t"

He continued his operations with In­creasing violence and increasing prof­its up to the fourth anniversary of the tragedy. On the intervening anniver­sary I had been compelled by self-interest and fear that he would really pull down the entire Wall street, struc­ture, to rush in and fairly drag him off. But with his growing madness my influence was waning. Each raid It was with greater difficulty that I got his ear.

Finally, on the fourth anniversary, in a panic that, seemed to be running into something more terrible than any previous, he savagely refused to ac­cede to my appeal, telling me that he would not stop, even if Randolph & Randolph were doomed to go down in the crash. It had become known on the floor that 1 was the only one who could do anything with him in his frenzies, and my pleading with him in the lobby was watched by the mem­bers of the Exchange with triple eyed suspense. When it was clear from his emphatic gestures and raised voice— for he was in n reckless mood from drink and madness and took no pains to disguise his Intentions-—that 7 could not prevail upon him, there was a frantic rush for the poles to throw-over stocks in advance of him Sud­denly, after I had turned from him in despair, there flashed into my mind an idea. The situation was desperate. I was dealing with a madman, and I decided that I was justified In making this last. try. I rushed back to him.

Bob. good-bye," I whispered in his ear. "good-bye. In ten minutes you will net word that Jim Randolph has cut his throat!" He stopped as though I had pranged a knife Into him. struck his fcreiMatf a resounding blow, and

Fine Health in Open Air. The healthiest: persons in the world

are gypsies, and they live in the open air, but there is an erroneous idea that gypsies are people who defy the elements to destroy their health. On the contrary, they are very careful, indeed, of their health, even though living out of doors. They never go to bed with the draft blowing over them, but have free circulation around them, yet protected from rain and wind. While sometimes seemingly scantily attired, they always are warmly clothed beneath, wearing warm underclothing. The consump­tives who g> to places for their health a:e now living exactly as the gypsies, and because of the disease being considered contagious, they must live in tents. It is here that the efficacy of pure air is being fully dem­onstrated, for it often effects a cure if the patient is not too weak whec the treatment begins.

The Pet Animal Stage. "Why don't you ge<; ye" a n t ? "

asked her Woman friend. ' i u j wouldn't be half so lonely if you had some little live animal like that al­ways around." "I haven't come to the animal stage yet, thank heaven," she replied. "When men and women lose all hope of human love they go to the animal kingdom, the men to the dogs, some literally, and the wom­en to the cats; and they are right, perhaps, since faithfulness is to be found mainly among the animals; but as I say, I haven't vii'-e arrive-.! at that stage of the game yet."

A DAY'8 TRAVEL IW THE LAND OF DYKES.

From Amsterdam Through t h s Won-dsrful Country Wrested from t h s

Sea by Sheer Courage and Resourcefulness,

Her First impressions. "The first impression is the one you

should always go by," t^e little grass widow advised. "I know by experi­ence. I have never yet had a husband that I liked at first sight. He always had to win me. Then, after I ,had been warned awhile, I invariably went back to my first impression of dislike that kept on getting worse and worse till 1 had to leave him. I shall never marry again." she finished, "un­less I fall head over heels in lovo with him the first minute 1 moot him."

Here is a pretty description of a day's travel through Holland: "At Amsterdam I left the train and board­ed a boat bound for the- Helder, the northernmost point of North Holland, where the low-lying islands curve round to the horizon, looking as if they had been appointed ocean out­posts tu Friesland. The voyage ffiltffet take a day, but what of that? Thjafft is only one way to travel in Holla*! —by water. The boat glides throaaft the brimming canal, passes the clean towns and the many windmills. Life persists; passengers and cargoes com* and go, but you are no longer at w i r with the world or in trouble with it. You are a spectator, idling through ft summer day, wrapped la aloofness, content merely to be moving through the moist and luminous air. When the environs of Amsterdam are left be­hind and the waterside houses give place to the reeds that bend as ties backwash overtakes them a a 4 thsl fac­tories fade into vast, bright the spirit of this land, wi the sea, obsesses the traveler. X for­got to count the windmills, waa iftdif-ferent to the locality of the hut where Peter the Great studied shipbuilding and was content with pretending to choose a habitation from among the dwellings whose gardens are washed by the waters of this great north canal.

"We passed through Alkmaar. On one side Dutch farmhouses, compact, four-square stretching in an endless line along the waterway; on the other side the meadows and beyond them, far away, the sweeping line of the dunes. They rise above the North sea and on their sandy sides and heights men are forever on the watch against the encroachments of the ocean; they plant the shrub called helm, that binds the sand together, making a bul­wark against the rage of the waves. 'God gave us the sea, but we made the shore,' says the Dutchman. These flower-fruitful and pastoral meadows that outstretched as we glided north­ward were on -e submerged in water. The tight against the sea never ceases. As we moved northward the three great dykes loomed out. I gazed out at those high bulwarks, patrolled and watched by day and by night, and mused on the legend that at Amster­dam there is one master key a turn of which, in times of peril from foreign invasion, will drown the land again.

"And as I mused there swept past a barge. The great sail was hoisted. The family—a mite of the 50,000 canal population who live out their lives on these floating houses—were gathered round the tiller, where mynheer smoked and steered. A barge—the symbol of this sea-conquering people. Below the Helder I landed. Beyond is the fort, with the fringe of islands out-posting Friesland, the fishing fleet and the gunboats, and the channel between the mainla,jvj and Texel opening to the world. As I crossed the bridge I saw the sight of sights. There was no fuss, no shouting, no spilling of wine at that launch. The barge moved from her cradle, shot downward, took the water in a rush, pretended to capsiM and all at once acquiesced. She had found her master."

A Fine Graduating Present. A woman went into a Broadway

florist's store one day not long ago to buy some flowers for a sweet girl graduate.

"I want to get some flowers for a young lady who is to graduate to-mor­row," she said. "What have you?"

"How would some American beau­ties do?" asked the florist.

"What, are they wor th?" "The best are seven dollars a

dozen." The woman thought a moment.

"Have you none cheaper?" she asked. "We have them for 50 cents a dozen

and 75 cents a dozen. "Wnnld carnations do for a g r a d a t ­

ing present?" "Yes, indeed." "Will you tie them up Tith ribbon?" "Yes." "Will you mix the colors?" "Yes." "Well," said the woman, after a mo­

ment's hesitation, "you may give me a red one and a white one."

The florist gasped. "Shall I put tl.em in separate boxes?" he asked.

I t is fed from P o r t a g e Greek coming from the s t r ing of lakes before ment ioned, and con­nects wi th B i g Por t age on the left by a con t inua t ion of t h e same s t ream.

Big P o r t a g e lays about one half in this county and the o ther half in Wash tenaw. T h e out le t to th i s l ake is the last end of Po r t age Creek where it leaves the lake at the south east and loses itself in the river Huron . T h e lake is more than a mile wide at i ts wid­est point and about t h r e e miles long, compr i s ing hundreds 0 f i acres. I t s banks are in many 1 places high and afford fine places ; and many have availed themselyes j of the o p p o r t u n i t y — t h e r e a r e ' cottages on every side.

The Bluffs on the west are own­ed by C. K. Baughn , who has rented lots to cot tagers and there are now five substant ia l ones , erected and several more people j

F u r t h e r north another place is being opened up and a l though it is some dis tance to the water froni t he bank, and some march , it has great possibil i t ies and 'we look for it to become one of the beauty spots of the lake in the near fu­tu re '

More Money for Eggs r under most any conditions. There is a lot of money to be made 9 in the egg business if conditions are right. There is no reason

why F a r m e r s and P o u l t r y R a i s e r s should not make just as good profits on their investments as any other line of business, and it is possible for them to do so. The price of eggs during the winter months is double and sometimes more than double that paid

during the summer months. The only way to take ad\"antage of this advance is to hold summer eggs for winter prices. That fresh eggs can be kept from six to nine months or more has been proven by careful testing with

Shelter Island it* a feast for the eyeb at all seusuua of the year, but in the month of May It Is the fairest spot on Long Island; then it is In the first glory of its brilliant verdure, and the soft blue sky above and its blue reflection In the water below presents a picture of such exquisite beauty and repose that few brushes could do it* justice on canvas. At Prospect, fac­ing the bay, stands a Queen Anne cot­tage with many hanging balconies, and standing on the most eerie ono are two young women, of the nine­teenth century ultra-fashionable type; the smart cut of their cloth frocks suggests Red fern, and their fine bearing and conscious worth the thoroughbred. .It is about ten o'clock.

"It's all very lovely and peaceful and serene, Lily," says the younger of the two girls, with a little weary sigh. "But I like it better in Aug­ust, when the bay is thick with yachts and rowboats; in fact, to be sincere with you, It has about as festive an appearance now as the Desert of Sa­hara, and I think we were downright daft to leave town so early this sea­son."

"I am really sorry for you, Bertha," replies the other, with an amused look in her fine eyes. "Let us give the 'Pixie' her first sail this season; she will help to liven up the bay for you."

The grieved look in Bertha's eyes gives way to radiant delight at her sister's proposition, and in gay spir­its they leave the balcony and are soon on the pier in their white flan­nel yachting suits and tarpaulin hats of the jaunty sailor cut.

Lilly is the skipper, and Bertha the deck hand—as her sister calls her— her duty aboard ship being to tend the center-board, hold the sheet rope when occasion demands, shift the bal­last, and make herself generally use­ful.

There is scarcely a ripple on the hay, and the half dozen filmy clouds have now lost themselves in the blue ether.

The breeze is steady and gentle; the girls keep up a rattling chatter at. lirst, but the utter peace and quiet seems to have a subdued effect, and soon the only sound heard is that of the water as the "Pixie's" sharp bow softly cuts through It.

They sail on, but it Is uot long be­fore the sail trembles and the eddy that closes behind the boat is hardly perceptible. "Bertha," says Lily, at last, "we are going to be becalmed; there is scarcely a breath of air."

"Don't mention anything so mon­strous!" cried Bertha, dropping the book she had been reading and now fully alivo to the situation. "We shall simply broil standing still in this hot sun. Why, there's Robins island; cannot we make it before the wind goes altogether?"

"Not unless we row; and even then I am sure you will not caro to land there."

"We may as well row to the island, after all," says Lily, presently, look­ing wistfully at the trees. "There are probably no men there as early as this, and we can rest in the shade until the wind comes up."

So they took the brass-tipped oars and rowed toward the shore. It looks very cool and inviting-

Robins island is owned by a club of New York men, and is a hunting ground, there being on it fine pre­serves of quail, etc.

"This is almost an adventure," pants Bertha, as she removes her hat and brushes her damp bang off her forehead.

"Hush!" suddenly cries Bertha, holding up a warning finger to her sister, who sits some distance from hor, with her head leaning against the trunk of a tree. She listens intently, turning her head pertly on one side like a bird, and then says, in a stage whisper: " Would not it be too un­utterably terrible, if there should be any men here, Lily? I am sure I heard something like footsteps way back in the woods."

"Your Imagination is too active for comfort, Bertha; if you did hear any­thing, it was probably a rabbit; these tall bushes are an effective screen for us, even if any genus homo should be abroad, which is unlikely. Now please do not speak to me for ten minutes; T am ton tired to even think;" she closes her eyes and Ber :

tha creeps over to her and rests her head in her lap.

bushes, then another voice exclaims in tones of astonishment:

"By Jove! It's the 'Pixie; ' It must have drifted down. It belongs to the Berkley girls, you know; they have a place at Shelter island; tip-top, swagger people; but how in the name uf all that's—why, i t 's anchored!" he concludes, with a long whistle, and star ts down the bank on a run to the boat.

At the sound of the first voice the girls had seemed paralyzed, and could only stare hopelessly at each other.

At thU instant there is a sharp re­port and the shot rattles through the bushes like hail. Without a cry Lily sinks to the ground and Bertha lies at her side in a dead faint.

A tall, broad-shouldered, florid-faced young man dashes through the under­brush with an eager, huntsman-like look on his handsome face, but his ex­pression changes in a flash to one of horror when he sees the kind of game he has brought down. He takeB in the situation at a glance, and with a now ashen face he rushes down the embankment.

"Effingham!" he calls, in a husky voice, as he nears the boat. "The Berkleys," he stops short and chokes.

Look wi th Blanched Faces in the Di­rection of the Sound.

"For heaven's sake, my lord, what has happened? You are shaking like a leaf."

"The Berkleys; your friend, Effing­ham. God help me! I have killed them both!"

He burled his face in his hands, while Mr. Effingham gazes in bewil­derment at the Pixie and then at him.

"You see," he continued, raising his head, "they were on the other side of the brush; I heard a rustling, thought it a rabbit, you know, and— fired. When I saw what I had done I lost my head. I never was so knocked out before in my life; in­stead of waiting to see what damage I had caused I rushed to you; but they are badly hi t ; they got the whole charge at short range."

"They may not be dead; cheer up, the first thing to do is to go back and see. Get some water in your hat."

Bertha had recovered conscious­ness, and as the two men dash up the

aho i a sobbing over Lily's pros­t ra te form.

It will take the doctor many hours to pick the shot out of Bertha's shoulder, but she does not heed the sting and tmar t ; her agony at Lily's badly wounded hand and wrist makes

'her oblivious to her own pain. The shot, fortunately, did not touch either of the girls' faces, but it will be many weeks before Lily can again sail the Plxey.

When Bertha sees Mr. Effingham she jumps up and runs to him, trying hysterically to explain their presence on the island.

Lord Bertie Dudley kneels beside the unconscious Lily, and with trem­bling hand nervously spatters her sweet face with salt water. He binds her wrist with his handker­chief, he is deft and gentle, and it is pathetic to watch bis quivering Up and the great effort he puts forth, to appear calm.

"1 feel as if I could shoot myself for this , Eiflngham," he says, bitterly, when Lily has been taken to the, boat and made as comfortable as possible.

The south wind has sprung up, and the Pixie is once more under sail, but Mr. Effingham is the skipper, and Bertha supports Lily's drooping head oc her shoulder. Poor Lord Dudley watches the boat out of sight from the shore, and then flings his gun as far out Into Peconic bay as his strong arm can send it. With downcast head he walks moodily back to the club house.

About three weeks after the fore­going episode there are half a dozen or so people sitting on the veranda of the Berkley cottage at Shelter Is­land. Among them are Lord Bertie Dudley and Mr. Effingham, and Lily is as beautiful and dainty as ever; to be sure her wrist is still ban­daged.

It is now two months later, and the bay is as thick with yachts and row boats as Bertha likes to see it, and Lord Bertie Dudley's steam yacht is a fixture in the inlet between Man-hansett and Prospect. Lily has lately promised to be Lady Dudley in Octo­ber, and they are going to England on his yacht.

She has told Bertha many times that she had a presentiment when she stepped on boE.rd the Pixie that fate had something in store for her on that May morning.

Paint ing the L i l y . Fashion in flowers has taken a freak

turn in Germany of late and there is great demand in certain circles for blooms of hues not found in nature. The flowers are cut with extra long stalks a few hours before they reach full maturity. Then the stalks are put in water in which aniline dyes have been d i s s o l v e * White carnations, lilies and pansies are the easiest to dye and give the most natural results.

As the stalk sucks up the water the aniline pigment is carried through all the fine vessels of the blossom and de­posited in its cells, so that after a few hours its color is completely estab­lished. Sometimes strange and even beautiful effects are secured by stop­ping the coloring process before it is complete. The white petals will then be delicately veined with green or red —these being the colors most success­fully used.

Since the discovery that the flowers are simply dyed there is a great out­cry among floriculturists, who pro­nounce the process an outrageous fraud on nature, both inartistic and vulgar. This does not prevent the de­mand for the dyed flowers from spreading.

There ia a crashing in the bushes not far from the girls, who have been rudely startled from their short nap, and they look with blanched faces in the direction of the sound. Then a deep voice suddenly calls out:

New York.—A millionaire of 50 marrying a beautiful brunette of 17 summers is the latest romance of the Waldorf-Astoria.

The groom is W. H. Hearne, of Wheeling, W. Va., a member of the Pennsylvania staff and a brother of the late Col. Frank J. Hearne, at one time president of the Colorado Fuel and Tron company.

The identity of the bride is not re­vealed. Her husband says, "It 's none of the public's business." Just where the marriage took placo cannot be learned, but it is supposed in the west.

The couple met for the first time a few weeks ago at Kansas City, while Mr. Hearne was visiting his Bister, Mra. Annie Armour, and his bride war. the guest of Mrs. Kirk Ar­mour.

Soon after Mr. Hearna'a daughter, Mra. Archibald Mitchell, was sur­

prised on receiving this telegram from her father:

"Meet me in Wheeling. Am going to be married."

The oaughter hurried to Wheeling, but her father failed to appear. A few t.ays ago he and his bride arrived at tho Waldorf-Astoria. Their devotion to each other attracted considerable attention.

Dair iss no such moon In all I ta lyV "Count," said Ochiltree, solemnly, as befitted the occasion, "you JuBt ought to see the moon in Texas!"

Saw Chance to Economize. After weeks of waiting and longing

for the sport, rods, reels, gaff, creel— everything was in readiness for a week's trout fishing.

The young wife, smiling joyously, hurried into the room, extending to­wards her husband some sticky, speck­led papers.

"For goodness' sake," he exclaimed, "what on earth are you doing with those Did fly papers?"

"I saved them for you last summer, dear," she answered. "You know you said you always had to buy flies when you went fishing."

A Foine Bi rd . An Irishman who wasn't much of a

hunter v/ent out to hunt one day, and the first thing he saw to shoot at was a blue jay sitting, saucily on the top of a fence. He blazed away at the bird and then walked over to pick it up. What he happened to find there was a dead frog, which he raised care­fully at arm's length, looking at it with a puzzled air. Finally he remarked:

"Well, begobs, but ye was a devil of a foine looking burd befur Oi blew ther flthers off o'yers!"—Judge's Li­brary.

Statue Finally Completed. When Alfred Stevens designed tho

noble monument to the duke of Wel­lington in St. Paul 's cathedral, Lon­don, he intended tha t his work should be crowned by an eqweBtrian statue. But Stevens died before his design was carried out. Now, 32 years after his death, the equestrian s tatue has been completed and before long will be placed in position.

F A M I L Y FOOD.

Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No Cooking.

Wonderful Feats. t.I has been said that Caesar could

.dictate to 21 secretaries a t one time, to each on a different subject, In Homer's Iliads are 31,670 verses, and his "Odysseys" are much about the same length, yet Josephus Soaliger was only 21 days in getting both by heart. Seneca could repeat 2,000 names in tho same order in which they wero spokrn, and rehearse 200 verses after hearing them read once. MUhridates had 22 countries under hi? dominidn, yet w a s ' a b l e t o . cor-verse with each in the language cf the country he represented without the aaatatan.ee oC ft& iaterpxatar.

A little boy down in N. C. a3ked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam­ily. . She says Grape-Nuts- was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited t h e Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of Ma- physician. She saysj

"They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I re­turned home I began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly.

"My little 18 months old baby short­ly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sfck nine weeks and we tried every­thing. She became so emaciated that it was- painful to handle hor nnd we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk.

"W7ell, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and im­provement set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts.

"Sometime ago several of the family "~* were stricken with LaGrippe at the same time, and during the worst stages , we could not relish anything In tha shape cf food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us.

"We all appreciate what your fa« mous food has done for our family." "There 's a Reason." Read "The Road, to WellYllle," la i>k£3.

Work This College la Doing for tho Natives of Phlllppinas.

Billiman Ins t i tu te was founded in 1901 by Dr. H. B. Sllliman of Cohoea,

N. Y., with the purpose of creat­ing in the Philip­pines a body of C h r i s t i a n men trained for the practical walks of life.

A J ^ , / From the door / K . / i \ v _ o £ t h o colluge

V V^l^A v - H building the is­lands of Cebu, Bo-hol Slquijor and M i n d a n a o are

clearly in view, and other* He Just over the horizon. It was for this rea­son, and to keep the school away from tl c dangers of city life, that the towa of Dumaguete on the island of Negros was chosen with its background of high mountains, and the Pacific only a stone's throw from the school door. It is in the center of the Visayan tribe of over 3,000,000 and within.easy reach of them all. V h e site seems not to have been chosen amiBs, for the peo­ple have taken the work of the school seriously from the s tar t and have sup­ported it loyally. The school, which is under the care of the foreign board of the Presbyterian church, • was opened formally with 13 pupils, and in the five years of i ts existence has grown to 260. It tfould have been 300 if it had not been crowded to overflowing during the present year. These students come from all the larger islands of the archipelago, and are boya of enthusiasm and ability, for the most par t from the Roman Catholic church, and yet too anxious for an education to allow this to stand in the way. It is the oldest of the Protestant Christian schools hi the islands and the only one where rich and poor are brought together on terms of perfect equality, and given either a classical course or an indus­trial training.

It is a burning t ru th in the islands that knowledge is power; a boy goes home from the school here and can be a leader—a power almost from the start . In America it means a little en­vious concession, but here it means power — leadership. An educated, strong man, to-day, will move a whole community. The old Spanish system of education is as far out of date as a 40-year-old atlas. The new ideas of education, freedom and religion pos­sess the heart and thought of the Filipino, says Dr. S. Hubbard in Rec­ord of Christian Work, and cannot be repressed. It is for the guidance of these that Sllliman Insti tute stands— against superstition, Injustice, slavery and ignorance. A careful study of the Bible as a text book Is reqpired of every student.

The late Senator Pia t t of Connec­ticut enjoyed funny stories and could tell a good many himself. Notwith­standing his long public life, he al­ways remembered a yarn that he car­ried from hfs school days.

One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teach­ers, in making a record of the ages of her pupils, a s required by law, found tha ' one little girl, who came from a family not noted for being especially bright, was unable to say when her birthday came.

So in order to complete her records, the teacher walked two miles to see the girl's mother one afternoon after school. Asked if she could remem­ber just when her daughter was born, the woman thought for some little t ime, and then with a sort of puz­zled look, said:

"Well, the gal was born in ' ta ter time, that 's sure, but I can't 'member whether they was a-plantlu' on 'uiu or a-diggin' on 'em,"

CA8E OF ECZEMA IN 80UTH.

Of Little Faith. At the Pine Grove camp ground in

Canaan, Conn., a little girl was re­moved by her mother for disobedience and being naughty to her playmates. The child was told tha t when she said her prayers a t night she should seek forgiveness and ask the Lord to help her be a bet ter girl. Here is the prayer which the youngster made un­der protest:

"Oh, Lord, I want you to help me to mind my mamma, to help me to be a bet ter girl, to help me to be good to my playmates, to—but, pshaw, Lord, what 's the use? I 'spect you don't believe half I 'm saying."

Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—-Now Well and Is

Grateful to Cuticura.

"My wife was taken badly with ecze­ma for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect a t all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en­tirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly In our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906."

GLEANINGS.

Dr. C. Cuthbert Hall, president of Union seminary, New York, has re­turned to America, after delivering his second course of Barrow lectures in India. In different centers he found many who had heard his previous dis­courses, and his reception generally was most cordial.

Rev. G. Camphell Morgan, D. D., has been engaged by the Bible Teachers Training college of New York to give a special series of 14 lectures begin­ning Wednesday, March 18, 1908. Like the special series of lectures given this year by Dr. James Orr, they will be open to the public.

Rev. Robert Stuart McArthur, D. D., has completed his thirty-seventh year as pastor of Calvary Baptist church, New York. An interest ing point in his career la that three hours after his graduation a t Rochester Theologi­cal seminary he was on his way to New York to enter upon his duties as pastor of Calvary church.

The degree of doctor of medicine has been conferred upon Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, C. W. G., by the Universi­ty of Oxford, causa honoris, in recog­nition" of the splendid work he has •Ckieved in improving the social con­dition of Labrador flsherfolk. The fcoaor bestowed upon him by his old lalverBlty Is all the more marked by reason of its being the first honorary J L D. degree conferred at Oxford.

Why Advertising Pays. "You will be pressed for money

oftener because you have no advertis­ing bills to pay than because you have," observes the Buffalo News. "Big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same publicity campaigns." The mer­chant who holds down his expense ac­count by cutting out advertising saves money just the way the railroads would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won't turn; without pub­licity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the window that gold may come in at the door.

A Hopeless Case. "Yes," said the business man, "I

have given up trying to collect that lit­tle bill from Bilkins. You see, he is a big, muscular fellow, and he used to throw my collectors out."

"Then why didn't you employ a woman collector?" inquired a writer In Spare Moments. "He couldn't do that to a woman."

"That 's what I thought, so I got one and sent her round, but she never came back."

"Why not?" "He married her."

"No. I don't believe I do. Jus t how Is that, dear?" she asked faintly.

"Well, I don't know jus ' what it means, myself/ he confessed, "but it 's a whole lot faster than 'lickety-split!' "

Unconaaloua Hutnor. • claw of little folk In an HngUan

elementary school were recently asked to define "a lady," with curious results. The definition of Lizzie, ugvd seven,

i will strike a responsive chord In the . heart of the busy woman and show* j that Llszle muvt be an observing per­

son. "A late Is something like u man," says iTzale, "but she's got long hulr and she's got a different face and different clothes, and she'a got u lot of

j work to do." Charlie, uged alx, la lm-' pressed by the difference between the 1 sexes. "A ludy" lie flnds to be "differ ' eut from a man because a lady hus | different clothes from a man, a lady

ban different eyes from a man, a lady boa u different body from a man> aud u U*dy has different ahoea from a man." Howard, aged seven, gets at the same (acta from a different point of view. »A lady," he says, "has not got some trow sera, but a man has got some trow BOTH." A second Charlie, a year older than the fret one, thinks that "a lady la a nice woman because she don't have torn clothes, and she has a woch with her, and she has a chane on toe woch."

Not a 8tranger to H O T . The conductor of the Pullman car

If Washington WartfJVhere. Two prominent society women of

Washington were seated In the gallery reserved for the families of congress men.

"What a grand body of men!" ex­claimed the younger of the two en­thusiastically.

"Do you think SOT" asked the other demurely.

"Why, of course, I do. See how alert and businesslike they are. I am sure If George Washington could come back to congress he would be proud of such a dazzling spectacle."

Early Ut« of Tobaooo. I have heard my grandfather say that

one pipe was handed from man to man round about the table. They had first silver pipes; the ordinary sort made use of a walnut shell and a straw Tobacco was sold then for its weight In silver. I have heard some of our old yeomen neighbors say that when they went to Malmesbury or Chippenham market they culled out their biggest shillings to lay in the scales against the tobacco. Sir W.

ART OF THE ETRUSCANS.

Mysttrious Paopla Who La f t Trace* of a Remarkable CiviHiation.

Why did the Etruscans devote their whole lives to the Incessant making of pottery until It accumulated in such quantities that they were compelled to bury It in order to keep room for themselves In their streets and houses?

The Etruscan is the only dead language that has defied investigation. Considered as a lan­guage, nothing could seem more im­probable than the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians, but Egyptologists can read them with such ease that almost any given series of hieroglyphics can be rend in three or four ways by an equal number of rival Egyptologists. Any language more utterly Impossible at first glance than the Assyrian arrow headed language could not well bo imagined,' but there are many learned men who ean read, write and speak ar rowhead with facility. And yet no man can make the least sense of the writ tngs left by the Etruscans,'although they are written In Roman characters.

All that we know of the Etruscans ftama u&raasonable and preposterous Haturallj this makes them fascinating to every one who delights In mystery and the solution of puzzles. -Putnam's Magazine.

Two Aora Farm*. In Belgium a two acre holding Is

sufficient to maintain a fanner and his family. The typical two acre farm In that country contains a patch of wheat or rye and another of barley. Another fair portion grows potatoes. A row of cabbage grows all round on the sloping •Ides of the ditches, with a row of on­ions just outside, leaving bare walking room between them and the grain. The shade trees round the house are pear trees. Every foot of land is made to produce, and the farmer keeps pigs and chickens.
