still less must you look dourly.On the contrary you must slap your chest, asservate to the listening walls of your bed-' room in Btentorian tones\u2014\u201cI am well\u2014splendidly well\u201d; go down to your bath whistling the \u201cCock 0' the North,\u201d or some other invigorating air, and the chances are that ere your ablutions are complete every trace of your dourness will have gone.On the merits of such a course of treatment for depression, I am told, all the highest medical authorities are agreed.Could there be better testimony to \u2018the value bf keeping up appearances?\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014TTYPSEN St John's, Nfld, August 13.\u2014An immense public meeting was held here tonight, attended by the Governor, Premier, cabinet -members, leading citizens and every -class.The meeting endorsed the offer made by the government to -the pan + Imperial cabinet, accepted by the latter, {to enlist and equip 500 men to thelp the Mother Country in the war, la similar number for the local militia, and to increase the naval reservalfrom six hundred to one thousand men.The meeting \u2018appointed a committee of 25 ead ing citizens to undertake the work of organization and equipment, This from Montreal Mail report\u2014 \u201cNo, no, I'm afraid, shell hurt me,\u201d cried littel Maria Blois in the Police Court tyesterday afternoon, when Judge Leet told .one of the officers to take the little tot, a- bput five (years old, to the cell where he [had just sent her mother on a charge of refusing to provide tor her children.The child was allowed to fremain with her grandmother who had brought her %o - cused woman, {was ordered to stand her trial after her husband had appeared iin the witness box and explained to the magistrate that his wife spent all the money for the pupport of the family on liquor.He added that phe even sold some bf the furniture and her wedding ring to satisfy her craving for drink.The youngster held tight to her grandmother's cloak as her mother left the court.-_\u2014_\u2014\u2014 At Dumfries, Scotland, thousands of people witnessed a series of tableaux representing \u201cthe Cottar's Saturday night,\u201d which had added distinction from the fact that Mies Jean Armour Burns-Brown,a great granddaughter of Burns, repre- .sented the cottar\u2019s wife.The opening scene depicted the \u201cguid wile\u201d busy mending the breeks of a young member of the family, \u201camaist as tweel as mew.\u201d Then the cottar came home with \u201chs spades, his mattocks and his hoes,\u2019 and received 6 tumultuous we'- come from his family.In turn were depicted all the charms of the domestic circle, the introduction of Jenny's sweetheart, the supper of porridge, and last of all the family worship with a \u201cbig ha\u2019 Bible\u201d of the poet's time.The Burns Choir of 250 voices, rang many of Burns' songs.Believing that the number of deaths from typhoid and enteric fevers will kill more Canadians than the bullets of the enemy, unless preventive measures are taken every man enlisting for active per- vice is being urged to submit to anti-typhoid inoculation, and the vaccination is now proceeding.None are vaccinated who are not healthy and free from fever at the time.Some degree of illness may be expected in every case.A sligh- amount of fever generally occurs, accompanied by headache; this, however, passes off in 24 hours.The person should remain at rest, and in no case should violent exercise be allowed for 24 hours.In every case a certain amount of local redness and swelling w.li occur at the point of inoculation, It extends over jan area ns large as _the palmiof the hand, but is quite transient, passing nway lin 24 to 48 hours.No local treatment is necessary, A second inoculat on must always be made in ten days after the first.| Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, wires that he had offered the services of n hospital ship on behalf of the company.It will supply a suitable ship to ble placed at the disposal of the Admiralty during the war.It will be equipped by the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire.London, August 14.\u2014On the suggestion of Lord Roberts a scheme has been formulated for organizing at once a corps of Imperial Light Horse which is described as a corps bf mounted irregulars for service in Europe\u201d - and in which it has been decided to include squadrons from overseas Dominions and dependencies.The men accepted (will be only experienced rifle phota and will have to pass a rigid examinpfion: | in higher shooting in adddition to «he, ordinary marksman\u2019s test.The age limit has been fixed at 25 to 45, pnd each member in addition to mllowance for horse outfit and rifle be provided with field glasses and mutomatic revolvers.London, Aug.14\u2014The interesting suggestion is made to-day that, in order to alleviate the unemployment among the millions of the textile workers in| Lancashire, every woman in the overseas Dominions should buy acot- ton dress Rpiece.' Vancouver, B.C, Aug.10.\u2014Sug- gestions that the Vancouver Japanese offer aid to Great Br.tain and the Canadian authorities, either in men, money br in some other manner of assistance, were enthusiastically received at h meeting held last evening.The bulding was filled to the doors and th: British national anthem aad Japanese patriotic songs were rendered.Rev.Matsu Nags, who occupied the chair, declared that an expression of opinion from Var- couver Japanese residents in regard to the war should be secured at once, No Fiction.1t was a clerk in a bookstore of whom a prim matron demanded a book for her son.\u201cNo fiction, please,\u201d she explained, \u2018but absolute, literal truth, without unnecessary verbiage or absurdly fanciful pictures.\u201d \u201cWell, madam\u2019 \u2014 the bookseller paused, his eye running over his shelves; then, with a flash of inspiration, be took down a volume.\u201c1 should think this might meet your requirements,\u201d he said, and he handed ber a popular geometry.courts Wilhelmina.Blois, the a¢ee.q Sir Wilfrid Laurier On the Great War At the opening of the house on the 19th Sir Wilfrid Laurier, after assuring the government he and his followers would co-operate in all that was proposed, went on to say\u2014 : We take no exception, we offer no criticism, and we shall offer no criticism 80 long as there is danger at ithe front, It is our duty, more pressing upon us than all other duties, at once, on this first day \u2018of this extraordinary gegton of the \u2018Canadian parliament, to let Great Britain know, and to let the friends and foes of Great Britain know, that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart, and all Canadians stand behind oh 3 mother country, conscious and proud \u2018that she has engaged in this war, mot from any selfish motive, for any purpose of aggrandizement, but to maintain untarnished the honor of her name, to fulfil her obligations to her allies, to maintain her treaty obligations, and to save civilization from the unbridled lust of conquest and power, Defence of Our Coasts We are Br.tish subjects, and today we are face to face with the consequences which are involved in that proud fact, Long we have enjoyed the benefits of our Brith ish citizenship; today it is our duty to accept its responsibilities and its sacrifices, We have long aaid that when Great Britain is at war we are at war; today we realize that Great Britain is at war and that Canada is at war also, Our territory -is \u2018Liable to attack and to invasion.So far as invasion is concerned, I dou not see that there is any cause for apprehension, for it seems to me obvious that neither Austria nor Germany, our foes in this war, can command any force able to make an attack so \u2018far from their base.But no one pretends that our maritime cities on \u2018the Pacific and the At- lantie, are free from the possibility of assault by an audacious cruiser, who descending suddenly upon \u2018our shores, might subject us to indignity and insult, and decamp with his booty before punishment could reach him.Our Commerce We lave had anocher and more sil.KiisZ evidence tnat wnen Greut Br.tain is at war we are at wur, We lure at War, in this\u2014that our commerce hus been interrupted, ana perhaps the express.on woulu not ve too strong if | Were tO say that ut has been to some extent disiocated.From the day war was declared\u2014nay, trom the day the poss.bility of war was first moot- ed\u2014our shipping to Greut Britain and \u2018to Europe has been interrupted, Shups were lying at the docks fully loaded and ready to put to sea.but unable to do su because of the fact that when England is at war Canadian property on the high seas is liable to capture.Our ships therefore had to remain in port su long us precautions had not been taken to clear the way and to ensure their sale passage across the ocean.Our Duty to Help More than once I have declared that if England were ever in dan- ger\u2014nay, not only in danger, but if she were ever engaged in such u contest as Would put her strength to the test\u2014then it would be the duty of Canada to assist the mocherland to the utmost of Canada\u2019s abiity.England today isnot engaged in an ordinary contest.The war in which she is engaged will in all probability\u2014nay, in absolute certainty \u2014 stagger ho world with its magnitude and is horror.But that war is for as noble a cause as ever impelled a nation to risk her ail upon the arbitrament of the aword.That question is no longer at issue; the judgment of the world has a'r:ady pronounced upon it.I speak not only lof those nations which are engaged in this war, but of the neutral nations, \u2018The testimony of the ablest men of these nations, without dissenting voice, is that today the allied nations are fighting for freedom against oppression, for democracy against autocracy, for civilization against reversion to that state of barbarism in which the supreme law is the law of might, Did Not Seek War It is an additional source of pride to us that England did not seek this war, It isa matter of history\u2014one lof the noblest pages of the history of England\u2014that she never drew the sword until evey means had been exhausted to secure and to keep an honorable peace, For à time it was hoped that Sir Edward Grey, who on more \u2018than one occasion has saved Europe from such a calamity, would \u2018again avert the awful scourge of war.Sir, it will go down on a still nobler page of history that England could have averted this war if she had been willing to forego the Ppositios which she has maintained for many centuries as the head of European civilization ;\u2014if she had been will ing to eacrifice her obligations; to allow the German Emperor to trample upon heroic Belgium; to infringe upon the rights of iec- lated France, and to put down his booted heel upon continental Europe.At that price England would have secured peace: but Ler answer to the German Emperor was: Your proposals are infame \u2018ous.And rather than separate them i: England has entered into this war; i and there is not today all over the | universe a British subject, there is not outside the British Empire a ; single man, whose admiration for England is not greater by reason * of this firm and noble attitude.| England in the Field So today England is at war, Her | fleets are maintaining the freedom 1 of the ocean.Her armies have already crossed the channel towards plains made famous more than ; once by British valour, this t'met i maintain the independence of Bel- / gium by taking a place in the à fighting line beside the small and } heroic Belgian army, and to vr nder assistance to France, whose forces are concentrated in an effort to repel an invader and to maintain and to save intact that which to a * proud nation makes life worth living.Canada's Contingent.I am well aware that the ama'l \u201c contingent of some 20,000 men which we are going to send will have to show double courage and double steadiness if they are to give any account of themselves among the millions of men who are now converging towards the t frontier of France, where the battle of giants is to be decided, But, sir, it is the opinion of the + British government, as disclosed \"by the comrespondence which was given to us yesterday, that Uhe us- sistance of our troops, humble as it may be, will be apprecinted, either for its material value or fer the greater moral help which will \"be rendered.It will Le seen by i the world that Canada, a daughtcr yof old England, intends to stand -by her in this great conflict.When \u2018the call comes our answer goes al once, and it goes in the classical language of the British answer to the call of duty* \u2018Ready, ave, ready) T4 The French Canadian di my words can Le neara veyound the Walls OL GS IOUHE Lil Lhe provainee trom Wnick 1 Cole, Auda Lie en Waose bwood ows own veins, 1 showd Lke ule wo rememuoer that sn Cakipg Cher place to-day in tne ranks oi the Canadian army to fight for the cause of the allied nations, a double honour rests upon them, \u2018Lhe very cause of which they ure called upon to fight is to them doubly sacred, let me tell my lellow countrymen of German origin that «we have no quarrel with the German people.We respect and admire as much as they do the - proud race from whidh they have their descent; we acknowledge all that the world owes to the German people for their contribution to the happiness of mankind by their progress in literature, in art and in science.But perhaps our German fellow citizens will permit me to say that in the struggie for const.tutiopal freedom which has been universal in Europe during the past century, the German people have not made the paume advance as have some of the other nations of Europe.| am sure they will agree with me that if the institutions of the land of their ancestors were as free as the land vf their adoption, this cruel war would never have taken place, Nothing ean be truer than the words which are reported to have been uttered by a (ierman soldier made a prisoner in Belgium that this war is not a war ol the German people; and if there is | silver lining to the darkest cloud which now overhangs Europe iit is that, as a result and consequence jof this war, the German people will take the determination to ipuit an end forever to this personal imperialism, and to makeit impossible evermore for one man to throw millions of the human race into all the horrors of modern warfare, The German Emperor We cannot forget that the issue of battle is always uncertain, as has been proven already in the present contest.In invading Belgium, pome two weeks ago, the the German Emperor invoked the memory lof his ancestors and called upon the blessing of God.The German Emperor invoked the membered that there is a treaty guaranteeing the independences the integrity, the neutrality of Be'- gium, and that this treaty was signed fn the last century by the most illustrious of his ancestors, Emperor William I of Germany.He might have remembered als: that there is this precept in ti.» divine book: \u2018Remove not the ancient landmarks which thy fat! - ers have set up.\u2019 But the German Emperor threw his legions against this landmark in the fulness of his lust for power, with the full expectation that the weight of his army would crush every opposition and would secure the'r passage through Belgium, He did not expect, he could not believe.that the Belgians, few in numbers and peaceful in disposition and in occupation, would rise in his way and bar his progress; or if he harboured buch a though: for one moment his next thought was that it he met such opposition he could brush it aside by a wave of his imperial hand.Sir,he should have remembered that in the sixteenth century the ancestors of the Belgians rose against the despotism of Philip II of Spain, and, throug\" years of blood and fire and miseries and sufferings indescribable, they maintained an wnequel contest against Spain\u2014Spain as powerful in Europe as the German Empire is to-day.Six, if there dl ny are men who forget the teachings of their fathers, the Belgians ure not of that class for they have proved equal to the teachings of their fathers; they have never surrendered; the blood of the fathers still runs in the veins of the sons; and again today, through bl od and fire and miperies and sufferings indescribable they hold at bay ithe armies of the proud Kaiser, Final Victory Certain I repeat that the issue of battle is always uncertain, There may be disappointments, there muy be reverses, but we enter into this fight with full hope as to the ultimate result: For freedom\u2019s battle once begun, Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son, Tho' often lost, is ever won.Sir, upon this occasion we invoke tho bfessing of (God\u2014not The God of battles, but the God of justice and mercy, end it in with ample confidence in Providence that we appeal to the justice of our cause, Nay, more, already, Eng and has Won a sig- whl victory, u victory more pree- ious, perhaps, than any that can be achieved by her \u20achects or by her: armies, Only.à few weeks n- go ithe Irish problem was pending in the sewles of destiny, The pose sibility of civil strife in Lrelund already rejoiced the eyes of Brituin's enemies, But to-day the spectre od civil war hws vanished from Ireland, and Irishmen are united naturally to fight for King and country.The volunteers of the north and the volunteers lof the south, forgetting their past differences, stand shoulder to shoulder ready to shed their blood for the common cause, And, may I not say that the hope is not vain that in that baptism of blood may \u2018be washed away, and forever washed away, the distrust of one another which has been the curse of Ireland in mges past.' A United Empire, But it is not only in Ireland that you find this union of hearts, In the two other united kingdoms the voice of faction has heen silenced, Even those who on principld do not believe in war admit that this was a just war and \u2018that it had to be fought.The union of hearts which exists in the United Kingdom exists also in Canada, in Aun- tralia, in New Zealand, Venu, even South \u2018Africa\u2014South.Africa rent by war less than twenty pears ago, but now united under the blessing of British institutions while all British and Dutch together, stand ready to shed the r blood for the common cause, Ther is in this the inspdration and the hope \u2018that from this painful wr the British Empire will emerge with a \u2018new bond of union, fle pride lof all its citizens, and a living light to all other nations, Sir Robert Borden When Sir Wilfrid seat ithe Premier rose, ed the causes that hnd led the summoning of parliament and indicated what measures it was expected ito pass, In closing he said \u2014It is not fitting that I should prolong this debate, In the awful dawn of the greatest war the world has ever known, in tie hour when peril confronts us such as this Empire has not faced for @ hundred years, every vain or unnecessary Word seems a d'acord, As to our duty all are agreed, ea t and west, and shoulder to shou'- der, with Britain and the oth-r British Dominions in this quarrel And that duty we ghall not fa\u2019l to fulfill as the honor of Canada 'e- mands, Not for love of batt'e not for love off conquest, not for greed or possessions, but for the cause of honor, to maintain rolemn pledges to uphold principles of liberty, to withstand forces thu would convert the world into an armed camp, yes, in the very name of the peace that we sought at any

Publishers Huntingdon, Que., August 27,1914 NOTES OF THE WEEK The extra session of parliament ended on Saturday, having lasted 5 days.During that time 8 bills were passed, all of them concerns ing the war situation, DO million dollars was voted tu meet expenditure until the house meets in regular session, Of that amount the raising, equipping, and maintenance of the 20.000 contingent will mbsorb 30 millions, Mvasur s for the defence of the Pacific and Atlantic coasts also take siderabla sum, To meet creased expenditure sugar, coffee, tobacco, and intoxicating liquors are increased, and are expected to bring in 13 million dollars revenue, Authority was also given to issue more Du- minion notes.Tho the increase in taxes is small it is made excuse for charging higher prices.Sugar has jumped to 7c the pound and tor coffee 3 cents more is asked.ua êur- the taxes on i= What the Dominion government has voted towards carrying on the war is only part of Canada\u2019s com- tributions.Alberta sends half a million bushels of oats for the cavalry, Nova Scotia a hundred thousand tons of coal for the navy Quebec 400,000 pounds of cheese for the troops, while Ontario remits its contribution in cash, $100,000.The city of Toronto offers 100 horses.These gifts are exceeded by those of individuals, one Montrealer bestowing half a million dollars and two others bearing the entire cost of raising a regiment each.The contingent army to Le placed at the disposal of the Imperial authorities is being assembled at Valcartier, 18 miles from Cuchev.There are now considerably over the 20,000 under canvas, who are being drilled and equipped preparatory to going on board ship.Before that day, each man will be asked if he is willing to go on, and any who say No will be allowed to go home.This test at the last moment ensures a contingent of men who go into service deliberately and willingly.A small fleet of transports will have to be assembled to carry so many men with their equipment across the Atlantic.Whether they will be taken direct to the seat of war or sent to release regulars who are doing garrison duty isundecided.Belgium is a small country with a population less than that of Canada.The war has not only pressed heavily upon her in loss of life and property, but exhausted the funds of her government.In order to enable her to go on, Britain is loaning her 50 million dollars and France a similar amount.Preparing Antwerp for defence is costing a large sum.When the war is ended.it will be realized that Belgium's resistance has been invaluable.At the close of the war of 1970 the French undertook ta buld along their frontier a series of forts which would prevent à repetition of a rapid march on Paris and its capture.In the two score years that have passed since France was humiliated by Germany dictating terms of peace from Pars these forts have been strengthened in every way that military science could sugest and to pass them would be almost impossible.To provide for such a contingency, a second line of defence was provid.«d, sù that if the forts were forced the army could fali back un its entrenchments, The Germans, knowing the strength of these forts, planned to give them the Ko-by.The only way they could do su was by Cross.ng Belgium into France, for the frontier of France next Belgium is not go strougly fortified as the frontier between France and Germany, The French and Belgians are good Irends and as the neutrality of Belgium had been useured by a solemn treaty, signed by the Emperor of Germany, the French did uot regard it as probable that an invading army would come that way.In this they were mistaken, for the Emperor of Germany ignored his pledged word to res spect Belgium neutrality, and sent his armies to cross that country into France.His beljef Was, that the Belgians would not hinder his troops, that they womdd be afraid ta do eo, and all the more that he made lavish promises of indemnity il they would.wink at hs breaking the treaty.The unexpected happened, the Belg ans did object and tried to bar the door in face of the advancing Germans, desperate fighting resclting at every stop between Liege and Brussels, Overwhelmed by a flood of armed men the Belgian demy had to fall back and is now making its final etend at Antwerp.Having cleared the way, the Ger.hans, in immense numbers, swept ross Belgium towards France.Che sllied army, composed of Bel- - gians, British, and French, in all probably haif-a-million might have stood ion the defensive and awaited the enemy's onset behind the French line of fortifications.Instead of doing su, Gen.Joftre, who had command, decided tu advance, (cross the frontier and attack tthe Germans on Belgian soil.He wus induced to make this move by \u2018the fact that the Germans were engaged in besieging Namur, which employed a large part of their army and which they must take before guing farther, Joffre relied on the garrisons of the forts holding out like those uf Liege, and if they had dons su the allies would have attacked to advantage, The German around Namur general realized the importance of taking Namur al once, A tervitie bombardmeut, kept up duy and might for three days, was followed by assaults, columns of infantry Jeing ordered to the charge with reckless disregard for loss of lite, On Saturday one of the forts was curried, when its guns were turned un the other forts, compelling the surrender of three, Al- the 4 forts remained to be taken the Germans did not wuit, Those they had carried opened the road to France, and along they went in full force, The allies tried to turn their advance and a great battle ensued on that road Sunday, when their entire line endeavored tu stop the approaching German host, Full details of the battle are not published, but from what is given out it is Susyv tu see that the attack of the allies failed, and was followed by the Germans making a charge in return, The British, who held the west wing, stood firm, but the French centre Rave way, compelling the entire line, said to be over 20 miles wide, to fall back into France and hy 4 night march assume the defensive behind the line of frontier forts.The British loss in killed and wounded wus 2000.The French loss is not reported, This withdrawal seems tu have been made in good order.On Monday the

all are 2-year olds One of the colts is from Baron's Pride, the famous Clydesdule, the other was sired by Scottish Crest The fillies are gets of Fyvie Baron, Iron Duke, and Prince Sturdy, all of choice pedigree, All 5 will enhance the reputation of Mr Ness's stud, They came from Glasgow on the Hesperian, which had a favorable voyage and which made the 100th time Mr Ness has crossed the Atlantic.A most interesting and instructive address was given at River- field under the auspices of the W.M.8., by Mrs (Rev) W.D.Reid op the customs of the Hindoos in India.Pive young girls were dressed in the different costumes of that country, and their dress was described by the speaker.There was a large attendance and the audience enjoyed the lecture, which was delivered in choice language and withh a distinet and pleasant voice.Rev, 8.A,Wo.ds presided.The collection was $45, Proprietors and pall who are concerned, should make an effort to remove garbage or anyth'ng that may cause offensive odors, as complaints are being made te the 2 board of health of this nuisance.The law is very strict in this matter, and neither neighbors nor the board.of health like to initiate the enforcing of the law.By request of the author.ties, several horses were offered at different points in this section for war purposes, but many of them were refused as not being up to the standard required.The council has decided tu use bitumen as \u2018a \u2018binder for the finishing layer of stones on our new roads, Harvesting will soon finish wih the present favorable weather.On the whole the yield is good.Sta MARTINE Last week the Farmers' club of this parish had a competition on standing crops when primes were awarded us follows\u2014 Potatoes, 9 entries 1 Simeon Dubuc #4 2 Alex,

crowd there is always some black sheep, as one farmer will testify, There was a big crowd along the fence at the race track watching lan exciting finish, when two more men joined the crowd.They igot greatly excited over the race, but at the same time their hands went wandering with the result that one farmer was over $40 poorer when the race was done.He has been unable to fini any trace of his money.The merchants of the city deserve credit for ther tasteful window decorations during show week, The windows were carefully arranged and the high quality of the goods showed that the best was

the order to Quebec and the present sess'on the membership had incr2ased by more than helf, During th» year ending June 80th, 1914, there was a et gain of 147, bringing the total membership to 5,907, contained fn 61 lodges, Bight years ago, when the order last v'aited Quebec, there were 44 subord na\u2018e lodges and 8,706 members, there having been an increase of twenty- two hundred in\u2019 thie interval.» VALLEYFIELD EXHIBITION With the exception of Friday the show was favored with fine weather.On Thursday, which is considered the big day, the attendance broke all previous records, the gate receipts showing that over 10,000 people were on the grounds, In fact every day! found the ghow doing well and the directors ure not womrying about the finances this year, Unfortunately the directors look only to umusements and horse-racing to «draw the money, with the result that the exhibits in live-stock were not large, There is no rewson for this, us the accommodation is good {and 'the prizes larger than at any other show in the district, If the directors would busy themselves in this regard they could make this one of the largest shows in the district.As there is no territery limit for exhibitors, there were several from the Eustern town- shipd and Ontario.The horse clusses were not Large, most of the prizes going to farmers in Cha- teauguay \u2018county, Unlike many of the \u2018other ahows, light horses predominated, The cattle classes found the Canadian breed to lead in mumbers, In fact D, T.Ness had \u2018nearly all the Ayrshire classes to himself, while J.J.Alexander and Robert Howden had little or no competition in the Holsteins, The Canadians, however, were numerous, and altho the quality was not as good as it might have been, nevertheless there were several creditable classes, In the Jersey class, N.Martin was the chief winner.A breed that is rarely seen in this district is the \u2018(tuernsey, entered by dealers from Ontario, who .make a trip to Valleyfield, Three Rivers and Que- bee, In sheep there was a large exhibit, the local men being out in full force while there were also several from the Eastern Townships and elsawhere.In the long- wooled sheep, John Purcell was the chief winner in Leicesters.In the Dorset Horned Robert Keir again had undisputed possession, Inthe short-wook classes M.Bathlow of Compton was the leading prize- taker.Considering the number of market.gardens in the vicinity of Valleyfield the display of vegetables was not as large as it might have been, What there was, showed that the season's crop was good, In dairy produce the display was only average.In the fancy work building the ladies had some fine pieces of needlework, On the ground tloor of the building the leading stores had exhibits in furs, stoves, furai- ture, ete.The taste shown in the arrangement of the different booths and the quality of the goods will go far to give the visitors a high opinion of the merchants of the fuctory town, There were a lut of side-shows, which did a thriving business, but the ruces were the attraction, and the grand stand was crowded by people who never went mear the exhibits, Brandon, Aug.20.\u2014The have all been cut in southern Manitoba, and in many places threshing has begun.At the Dominion Experimental farm here the superintendent, Mr McKillican, told your correspondent that the crops in this district have been harvested at laast two weeks earlier than last year.Exceedingly hot and dry weather was experienced during July, and, altho plenty of rain had Tallen during June, the yields in all grains were reduced through drouth, To date there has been a little over eight inches of rain in southern Manitoba since Apr) and only 2 inches of that amount fell \u2018between the middle of June and the present time.The best crops of \u2018wheat will not yield more than 20 bushels per acre.The average yield in wheat throughout southern Manitoba, will not exceed 15 or 1G bushels to the acre, Coming from the south thru Napinka, Hartney and Souris, the wheat crop is light and oats will be much below last year's yield.This condition applies to Southern Saskatchewan through which your correspondent travelled two days ago.The ovat crop taken over the entire west will suffer a greater reduction in yield this year than any of the other grains, The drouth has affected oats far more ser'- ously than wheat.The finest of harvesting weather prevails thro- out the entire country.The divers who have been working ton the sunken Empress of Ireland have succeeded in raising a large amount of bullion from \u2018he hull.This is at the Dominion Express office, Quebec, in addition to the ship's papers and valuable packages such as bonds and other securities raised last week in the purser's safe, crops _\u2014_ UNITED STATES Fire destroyed the Clover Lead Creamery in Ellenburgh, owned by Thomas B.Humphrey, of Cheœu- busco, early Friday morning week.The cause of the fire, which appeared to have atarted in an upper story, was unknown.Ralph Good Was the buttermaker in charge, occupied rooms over the creamery and was 80 overcome with smoke after he awoke that he had to be dragged from the burning building.He lost all his personal effects, The creamery was one ol the most prosperous in all this section bf the state and enjoyed a large patronage.The loss is estimated at $8500, on which there was $2000 insurance.An investigation by the New York Conservation commission as to the origin of forest fires inthe Adirondacks shows that fully 85 per cent, of the fires that oceurrad during 1918 were preventabis, It smokers had not carelessly thrown burning cigars or tobaceo ur on th» dry vegetation, one-third of there tires would not have occurred Of the 688 fires reported, only 78, or 11.3 per cent.were caused by locomotives, \u2018while nearly 10 per \u2018cent, were reported as due to the, carelessness of campers.* THE WAR The Belgians Have to Retreat All that was expected of the Be:- glans was to keep back the Germans in order to give time tu the allies to assemble in full force and take up the positions they had chosen, This the Belgians did at Liege and afterwards at Haelun and Dinant.Each day renderad the \u2018task of the Belgians more dif- - ficult, for the Garmans were adding \u2018to their forces, enormous divisions advancing to the front.On Tuesdah the 18th, the German commander felt he was power!ul enough ito sweep all before him and \u2018the advance all along the ne was ordered, The first place to fall was Tirlemont, the scene of many skirmishes for several days, The big guns shelled the place, while the cavalry played at war by attacking the flying, panic- stricken populace, shooting and sticking them at random.About five miles from the town two trains Were made up and fully 1000 Trefugees gotuwuy.So swift and terrible had been the onslaught of the Germans that in flight for their lives, men, women and children left everything behind.Never have I seen such u picture of woe us thut presented by a group composed of a peu- sant woman and five children, standing bewildered in the square, crying as though their hearts would break.The woman said\u2014 \u201cThey shot my husband before my eyes and trampled two vf my ch l- dren to death.\u201d The last glimpse that the refugees had of! Tal.iroit showed smoke and flames in different quarters of the town./ The Belgian headquarters was at Louvain, a town 15 miles from Brussels.Suddenly, after dinner, about one o'clock came the sound of the first German gun.The artillery had opened fire.From the church tower it was possible to see distinctly the position of the German guns and the bursting of their shells, The Belgians replied from their positions east of Lou- vain.It was a striking sight to the accompaniment of the ceaseless thud of bursting she'ls with their puffs of cotton-like smoke, to watch them tearing up the peaceful wheat fields, Gradual'y working nearer, the shells began to atrike the houses in Tirlemont and it was evident Louvain would come mext, as the Germans were moving our way.The Belgian army was offering an obstinale resistance, but were gradually falling back overpowered by numbers, Up to 6 o'clock the inhabitants of Louvain thought they were not in danger, that the army would hold the invaders in check.but when throngs of refugees from Tirlemont crowded in, they, became ipanic-strieken and fled towards Brussels, leaving their hom s as \u2018they stood, The firing wus heavy.The wounded began to come \u2018in.Riderless horses came along, both German and Belgian, These were caught and mounted by civilians.glad to have so ray id a mode \u2018of escape.Lastly came corps of the Belgian army.retreating before a foe that outnumbered them, The roads leading to Brussels were crowded by fleeing people, who were in the way of the soldiers falling back to take up a new position, afew miles \u2018out of Brussels, Wednesday a tremendous battle along the whole line continued.The hottest fighting was near Aerschot, 23 miles northeast of Brussels, where the carnage on both sides was awful.The advance guard of two Belgian regiments made an heroic stand, but was forced to retreat at 7 o'clock in the evening.Orders werd sent along the line to fall back on Antwerp, for Brussels being # city without fortifications no stand could be made there.The Reigian columns retreated (1 gcol order and were not closely followed by the Germans, who were intent on first securing Brussels, At 7 o'clock Thursday morning that city was practically surrounded by German cavalry, who systematically seized the railway and telegraph offices and placed pickets at the crossroads, When this envelopment was completed a full German army corps marched through Brussels, The first troops to enter the city were the famous Black Brunswick Hussars withthe well known Death's Head badge on their busbies, Their horses were exhausted.Then came a sol'd phalanx of G2rman infantry, which took possession of the Brussels barracks and heights, Regiment after regiment quietly piled their arms, looking rather weary, but determined and fit, They behaved in an exemplary manner.All who could had fled the day before.going to Ostend or Ghent, but they might have stayed, for the Germans respected private property.The strangeness of human nature was never better exemplified than in the Brussels folk, Charged with extraordinary excitement for days, they became suddenly calm when the fact was establ.shed that the Germans were really in their midst, The great majority sought the shelter of their homes land drew down\u2019 the bl nds, While the shops and hotels shut up ps if by magic.Summoning the city councillors, they were informed p war tax of 40 million dollars \u2018would Have to be paid.They answered the city treasury was empty.All day German troops kept marching thru the streets, taking different directions 80 \u2018as to overrun all the country north and west of Brussels.Meanwhile the Belgian army was making A wate retreat to within the linelof forts at Antwerp, The plan of the Germans was obvious, they would make themselves secure from m rear attack by clearing ail Belgium morth of Brussels, and then, leaving sufficient force to invest Antwerp, throw themselves en \u2018masse into France, in an effort to end the wan by reaching Paris One obstacle in their way of doing this was the fortif'ontions of Namur, à Belgian city on the 3 , French Yrontier, and to its capture they bent their energies, Having got their heavy guns into position they began to bombard it at nour on \u2018Friday.THE GREAT BATTLE Paris, August 24,\u2014The Frencn war office issued the following announcement tonight\u2014 The French and English, the plan of.attack having failed owing to unforeseen difficulties, have retired on the covering povi- tions west of the Meuse, The English army on our left was attacked by the Germans, but behaved admirably, holding its ground with traditional steadfastness, Tha French assumed the aggressive with two army corps.An \u2018African brigade in the front line, carried away by their eagerness, were received by a murderous fire, They did not give inan inch, but counter attacked by the Prussian guard they were obliged to retire, only, however, after inflicting enormous losses, The Prussian guard especially suffered heavily.Bast of the Meuse, our troops advanced across an extremely difficult country, and made a vigorous attack when they emerged from the woods, but were obliged to fall back after a stiff tight south of the river Semois.On order of General Joffre, our troops and the British troops withdrew to the cover positions.Our troops are intact; our cavalry has in no way suffered, and our artillery has affirmed its superiority.Our officers and soldiers are in the hest of condition, morally and physically.As a result of tre orders which have been issued, the aspect lof the struggle will change for \u2018a few days, The Frencharmy will remain for a time on the defensive, \u2018but at the right moment, to be decided upon by the rom- mander-in-chief, it wlil resume a vigorous offensive.Our losses are heavy; it would be jrema!ure to enumerate them, It would be equally ro to enumerate those of the Germans, who suffered so heavily that they were obliged to abandon their counter-attacks and establish themselves in fresh positions, In Lorraine we delivered our attacks yesterday from our positions morth of Nancy, inflicting \u2018very heavy loss on the enemy.Our valiant people will know how to find courage to support this trial, with unfailing faith in final sueeess, which is not to be doubted.In telling to the country the whole truth, the government and military authorities give it the strongest proof of ther absolute confidence in victory, which depends only on our perseverance and tenacity.One of the forts at Liege, which held back the German invasion with such heroic fortitude, has at last fallen, But it has not Leen destroyed by German guns, nor will the German eagle fly above it as a symbol of victory.Commanded by Major Maneche, this fort, known as Chaudfontaine, covered the railway line between Aiv- la-Chapelle land Liege by way of Verviars, and the tunnel of Chaud- fontaine, It was therefore of enormous l'importance to the Germans, and had been under continual fire since the enemy came to Liege.When resistance Was no longer possible and the fort a heap of ruins, Major Maneche barred up the tunnel by colliding a \u2018number of cars in it and afterwards set fire to the mass.His mission then at an end, and determined that the Germans shouvld not take possession of his little stronghold, he lighted a fuse to the powder magazine and blew up the fort.It was an act of heroism which will not be forgotten in the history of Belgium.More About the Battle of Sunday The outstanding incident was the fight between Algerian and Senegalese riflemen and the Prussian guard, The \u2018African soldiers hurled themselves with unbridled fury on \u2018this solid body; and the attack became a hand-to-hand combat, in which the guard suffered heavily.The German Emperor's uncle, Gen.Prince \u2018Adalbert, was killed, and his \u2018body taken to Charleroi.In their impetuosity the Africans went too far, A reporter at Paris writes\u2014I have been talking with British \u2018officers from the front, who tell of the wonderful coolness and daring of the Britidh soldiers 3n the fighting on Sunday, The shooting of the British infantrymen was wonderful Evary time a German's head showed above a trench, and every time ithe German infantry attempted to rush a position there came a steady withering r'fle five from ithe khaki-clad men lying in extended formation along the wide battle front.\u2018Their firing was not the usual firing of nervous men shooting without aiming; ratheæ it was the calm and careful marksmanship one sees on English rifle ranges, When quick action was necessary the men showed no nervousness, no excitement; they showed cool, methodical efficiency for which the British, army is noted, If the British lost heavily, the (Germans must have lost terribly.One of the German prisoners said: \u2018We had never expected anything like it; dt was staggering.\u2019 \u2018The British troops went to their positions silently, but happily.There was no singing, because it was forbidden, but as the men deployed to the trenches there were various sallies of humor in the cin- lects jof the various English, Irish and Scotch counties, The Cockney was there with quips about \u2018Uncle Billy and every Trishman who went into the firing lind wished he had money to buy a littlé Irish horse 80 \u2018that he might \u2018take a slap at the Uhlans\u2019 As for the cavalry, the officers declare their charges agains the Germans \u2018were superb, THE FIGHTING IN ALSACE London, \u2018Aug.22.\u2014Austin West, the Milan correspondent of the London Chronicle, sends this mes- sage\u2014 ThrHling details of a ternitic battle in Upper Alsace have been received in a special message to hand from Basel.According to these, a great fight had been waged mnceasingly f rom Tuesday afternoon till early this morning and ended with a brilliant victory for the French, who compelled the Germans to retreat.The fight was attended by great loss of life on both mides, Many trains took the wounded from the scene of battle, where, mevertheless, were many others who could not be attended to and who lingered through the night in their agony, which wus intensified by ua torrential rida, The French army, entrenching itself, occupied u strong front, to which it dragged large numbers of cannon and stores of ammunition from Belfort.The German cavalry fought valiantly, charging right up to the French trenches, Bavar.an contingents, too, displayed spirit and fine discipline ws their ranks were decimated by the deadly fire of the French, whose art\u2019llery pru- vided more accurate marksmen.\u2018I'L.fortunes of battle varied during the first two days.At first all seemed to go well.On the third day the French forces, summoning up all their energy in one incomparable gener al arsawlt at the \u2018point of the bayonet, drove the German invaders from all the -advanced positions and ten minutes mfter they had retreated, The Russian Army Invades Germany The combined Russian forces being ready, they crossed the frontier into Germany during the 16th and 17th, Their line was 30 miles broad und overwhelm'ng in numbers, A great German army met them \u2018and \u2018there was resistance tu their ladvance along the entir: lire It was ineffective, for the Russians kept on their way, moving at the rate of 8 miles a day.On Thursday, 20th, the Germans made a determined stand near the town of Gumbinnen, and a fierce batt'e was fought, The German general attempted to turn the Russian right flank, but saw his columns driven back with heavy losses, While the Germans were engaged in this flanking movement, the Russians fell on the German centre, which they forced backwards, capturing many cannon and prisoners, \u2018This battle of Gum- binnen decided the fighting, for tho\u2019 ithe Germans fell back to u fresh line of defence they did not show the same spirit on Friday, when the Russ.an columns assai:- ed them and compelled them to fall back.In the evening the German general asked for an arm:s- tice that they might carry away their dead und wounded.This wus refused, On Saturday morning the Germans were found along the.r entire line to be on the retreat.The Russians started u sweeping movement in order to get a column across their line of retreat, which renewed the fighting.Pressed on every hand by large bodes of the enemy, the Germans hurried their march, abandoning a number of small towns and fort'- fied positions which the Russians occupied, On Monday they rested, having attained a position that leaves Prussia open to them.The estimates of the number of men engaged are plainly mere guesses, las are those of the losses on both sides, St Petersburg, August 34.\u2014The Russian northern army is moving rapidly along the railway from Eydtkuhnen toward Koenigsburg and today was reported west of Insterburg.The Russian front is many miles long and is reported as sweeping the entire territory of eastern Prussia clear of the enemy as it moves forward, The fighting has been of the most desperate chiaracter and the war olf ce claims that the fighting effectiveness \u2018of three German army corps which have been bearing the brunt of the defense has been seriously impaired.The 20th German army corps, which bore tha brunt of our lattack, was practically cut to pieces, We have taken several thousands \\of prisoners in addition to the guns already reported.The Russians Invade Austria While lope Russian army was invading Germany, another crossed the frontier into Austria.Nine squadrons were met by a large force of Austrians, The fighting lasted lall Friday, ending in the re treat lof the Austrians, Decisive Battle in Servia The large army Austria sent to invade Servia advanced a considerable distance into the country until the Servian general got them inta ithe \u2018position he had arranged for, He then attacked and fighting continued several days.On Thursday .a great battle took place, The Austrian forces were composed of nine divisions and numbered neatly 200,000 men.The Servians.were much inferior in numbers, but showed greater heroism, Their handling of their artillery, their superior marching, and endurance, their discipline, and the accuracy of their fire insured them the victory.At night the Austrians retreated and returned to their own country.It is announced that, in order to meet the invasion by Russians, Austria will not, lat present, resume her efforts to (punish Servia.: .The Servian government announced las the result of the battle that they took of prisoners, including officers of high rank, 4,500; tield guns, 58; field howi - zers, B; caissons, 114, In addition it is stated that large quantities of field equipment and ammunition fell into the handa of the victors.The \u2018British admiralty has warned shipping against mines sown by Germany in the North sea.Four Dutch land two Dan:sh vesse's have been sunk by these mines, A report of the battle of Dinant states that the French wing hail been badly cut up and was nearly routed \u2018when suddenly the strains of the \u201cMarselllaise\u201d resounded in the French lines, and the men rallied and reformed, With splendid gallantry they charged, \u2018hurl\u2019'ng themselves on the German troops, breaking through their lines and » putting them to flight, An Englishman who was visiting in Belgium writes\u2014 the chief forts which cover Berlin, It is confirmed thal Austrian has

seconds Mr.Ma- gee and the man with whom he had collided stood facing each other on the balcony.The Identical woon of the summer ro- mauces now hung In the sky, and in its white glare Baldpate mountuin glittered like a Christmas ecard.\u201cA lucky chance,\u201d said Mr.Magee.\u201cYou're a man I've been longing to meet, especially since the professor left his window open this afternoon.\u201d \u201cIndeed!\u201d replied the other calmly.\u201cMay I ask wbat you want of me?\u201d \u201cCertainly!\u201d Mr, Magee laughed \u201cA little package.1 think it\u2019s in your pocket at this minute.A package no bigger than a man's hand.\u201d The stranger made no reply, but looked quickly about over his shoul der at the path along which he had come and then past Mr.Magee at the road that led to freedom.\u201c1 think it\u2019s in your pocket,\u201d repeated Mr.Magee, \u201cand I'm going to find out.\u201d \u201c1 haven't time to argue with you,\u201d said the holder of the seventh key.His voice was cold, calculating, barsh.\u201cGet out of my way and let me pass or\u201d\u2014 \u201cOr what?\" asked Billy Magee.He watched the man lunge toward him in the moonlight.He saw the fist that bad the night before been the Waterloo of Mr.Max and the mayor start on a swift, true course for his head.Quickly he dodged to one side and closed with his opponent.Back and forth through the snow they ploughed, panting.grappling, straining.Mr.Magee soon realized that his adversary was no weakling.He was forced to call into play mus cles he had not used in what seemed ages\u2014not since he sported of an after: noon in a rather odorous college gymnasium.In moonlight and shadow, up and down, they reeled, staggered, stumbled, the sole jarring notes in that picture of Baldpate on a quiet winters night.\u201cYou queered the game last time,\u201d muttered the stranger.\u201cBut you'll never queer it again.\u201d Mr.Magee saved his breath.Together they crashed against the side of the inn.Together they squirmed away across the balcony to the rail ing.Still back and forth, now in the moonlight, now ip shadow, wildly they tought.Once Mr.Magee felt his feet sip from beneath him, but caught himself in time.His strength was & Bases Up and Down They Reeled, Staggered and Stumbled.gotng\u2014surely\u2014quickly.Then suddenly his opponent seemed to weaken in his grip.With a supreme effort Ma- gee forced him down upon the balcony floor and tumbled on top of him.He felt the chill of the snow under his knees and its wetness in his cuffs.\u201cNow! be cried to himself.The other still struggled desperately.But his struggle was without success, for deftly Billy Magee drew from his pocket the precious package about which there had been so much debate en Baldpate mountain.He clasped it close, rose and ran.In another second \u2018he was inside No.7 and had lighted a candle at the blazing logs.Once more he examined that closely packed little bundle; once more he found it rich tn greenbacks.Assurediy & was the greatly desired thing be bad \" fought for the night before.He bad it again.And this time, he told himself, be would not lose sight of it until he bad placed it in the hands of the girl of the station.The dark shadow of the man he had just robbed was bovering at bis win- Bows.Magee turned hastily to the door.As he did so it opened and Hay- fen entered.He carried a pistol in his hand; his face was hard, cruel, determined; his usually expressionless eyes lighted with pleasure as they fell on the package in Mr.Magee's pos: \u201cIt seems 1'm just in time,\u201d he said, \u201cto prevent highway robbery.\" \u201cYou think so?\u201d asked Magee.\u201cSee here, young man,\u201d remarked Hayden, glancing nervously over his shoulder, \u201cI can't waste any time in talk.Does that money belong to you?No.Well, it does belong to me.I'm have it.Don't think I'm IARI E the revolver into bis pocket and sprang forward Por tbe second time within ten minutes Mr.Mages steadied himself for conflict.- \u2018 « But Hayden stopped.Some one had | outered the roots through tbe window bekind Magee.in the dim light of the Magee saw flnyden's face go 5% Hes twit-h.bis ep glaze oy 7 | with horrible surprise.Umply to his sides.\u201cGood God, Kendrick!\u201d be cried.His arms fell The voice of the map with whom ; flushed, her eyes ablize.Mr.Magee, going to her side.reflected that she looked churming and wonderful and Billy Magee had but a moment before | Wished he had time to admire, but he struggled on the balcony answered; \u201cYes, Hayden.I'm back.\u201d Hayden wet his lips with his tongue.\u201cWhat\u2014what brought you?\u2019 he asked, his voice trailing off weakly on the last word.\u201cWhat brought me?\u2019 Suddenly, as from a volcano that had long been cold, fire blazed up in Kendrick's eyes.\u201cIf a man knew the road from hell back home what would it need to bring him back?\" Hayden stood with his mouth partly open.Almost a grotesque picture of terror be looked in that dim light Then he spoke in an odd, strained tone, wore to himself than to any one else: \u201cI thought you were dead,\u201d he said.\u201c1 told myself you'd never come back.Over and over\u2014in tbe nigbt\u2014I told myself that.But all the time I knew \u2014I knew you'd come.\u201d A cry\u2014a woman's cry\u2014sounded from just outside the door of No, 7.Into the room came Myra Thornbili.Quickly she crossed and took Ken- divk's bands in hers.\u201cDavid!\u201d she sobbed.\u201cOh, David, is it a dream\u2014a wonderful dream?\" Kendrick looked into her eyes, sheep- fshly at first, then gladly as he saw what was in them.For the light there under the tears was such as no .man could mistake.Hayden saw it, too, and his voice was even more lifeless when he spoke.\u201cForgive me, David,\u201d he said didn\u2019t mean\u201d\u2014 And then as he saw that Kendrick did not listen he turned and walked \u201cI Magee saw it | quietly into the bedroom of No.7, taking no notice of Cargan and Bland, .who, with the other winter guests of Baldpate, now crowded the doorway leading to the hall.Haydeu closed the bedroom door.Mr.Magee und the others stood silent, wondering.Their answer came quickly\u2014the sharp cry of a revolver behind that closed door.It was Mr.Magee who went into the bedroom.The woonlight streamed in through the low windows and fell brightly on the bed.Across this Hayden lay.Mr.Magee made sure.It was not a pleasant thing to make sure of.Then be took the revolver from the hand that still clasped it, covered the quiet figure on the bed and stepped back into the outer room.\u201cHe\u2014be bas killed himself.\u201d he said in a low voice, closing the bedroom door behind him.There was a moment's frightened oush: then the voice of Kendrick rang out: \u201cKilled himself?I don\u2019t understand.Why should he do that?Surely not because\u2014no\u201d\u2014 He Ingly into the white face of the girl ut his side; she only shook her hend.\u201cKilled himself,\u201d he repeated, like a | man wakened from sleep.understand.\u201d On tiptoe the amateur hermits of Baldpate descended to the hotel office.\u201cI dunt Mr.Magee saw the eyes of the girl of the station upon him.wide with doubt and alarm.While the others gathered in little groups and talked, he took her to one side.\u201cWhen does the next train leave for Reuton?\u2019 he asked her.\u201cIn two hours\u2014at 10:30,\u201d she replied.\u201cYou must be on it\" he told her.\u201cWith you will go the $200,000 package.! have it in my pocket now.\u201d She took the news stolldly and made no reply.\u201cAre you afraid?\u2019 asked Magee gent- ty.\u201cYou mustn't be.No harm can touch you.I shall stay here and see that no one follows.\u201d \u201cI'm not afraid.\u201d she replied.\u201cJust startled, that's all.Did Le\u2014did he do It because you took this moner\u2014he- tause he wus ufraid of what would rappen 7\u201d \u201cYou mean Hayden?\u2019 Magee sald.\u201cNo.This money was not coucerned in\u2014bis death.That is an affair between Kendrick and bim.\u201d \u201cI see,\u2019 answered the girl slowly.\u201cI'm so glad it wasu't\u2014the money.1 couldn't bear it if it were.\u201d \u201cMay I call your attention.\u2019 remarked Magee, \u201cto the fact that the long reign of \u2018I'm going to\u2019 is ended and the rule of \u2018I've done it\u2019 has begun?I've actually got tbe money.Soimehow it doesn\u2019t seew to thrill you the way I thought it would.\u201d \u201cBut it does\u2014ob, it does!\u201d cried the girl.\u201cI was upset for a moment.It's glorious news.And with you ou guard here {'m not afraid to carry it away\u2014 down the mountain-and to Reuton.I'll be with you in a moment ready for the journey.\u201d She called Mrs.Norton, and the two | went rather timidly upstairs together., Mr.Magee turned to his companions in the room and mentally called their roll.They were all there\u2014the professor, the mayor.Max, Bland.Peters, Misg Thornhill and the newcomer Kendrick, a man prematurely old, grayed : | ve \u201c| will shoot any one who makes @ move.\u201d at the temples and with a face yellowed by fever.He and the professor were talking earnestly together and now the old man came and stood be fore Magee.\u201cMr.Magee,\u201d he sald seriously, \u201cI learn from Kendrick that you bave in your possession a certain package of money that has been much buffeted about here at Baldpate inn.Now.! suggest\u2014no, 1 demand\u201d\u2014 \u201cPardon me, professor,\u201d Mr.Magee interrupted.\u201cI have something to suggest, even to demand.It is that you and every one else present select a chair and sit down.I suggest, though I do not demand, that you pick comfortable chairs, for a vigil that you are about to begin will prove a long ope.\u201d \u201cWhat Go you mean?asked the mayor of Beuton, coming militantly to Professor Bolton's side.Magee did not reply.Miss Norton and her mother came dowsstalrs, the former wrapped in a great coet, She etood on the bottom step, her cheeks loocked question- \u2018 , Until be stood beside her.hadn't He took from one pocket the pistol he had removed from the hand of Hayden; from the other the celebrated package of money.\u201cI warn you all,\u201d he said, \u201cI will shoot any one who makes a move for this bundle, Miss Norton Is going to take it away with her.She is to catch the 10:30 train for Reuton.The train arrives at its destination at 12.Much as it pains me to say it, no one will leave this roomn before 12:15.\" \u201cYou\u2014crook!\u201d roared Cargan.Mr.Magee smiled as he put the package in the girl's hand.\u201cPossibly,\u201d he said; \u2018but, Mr.Car gan, the blackness of the kettle always has annoyed the pot.\u201d The little professor of comparative literature stepped forward and stood pompously before Magee.\u201cOne moment.\u201d he remarked.\u201cBe fore you steal this money in front of our very eyes I want to inform youn who I em and who I represent here.\u201d \u201cThis is no time,\u201d replied Magee, \u201cfor light talk on the subject of blonds.\u201d *I'his is the time,\u201d said the professor warmly.\u201cfor me to tell you that Mr.Kendrick bere and myself represent at Baldpate inn the prosecuting attorney of Reuton county.We\u201d\u2014 Cargan,

The pup! Why, 1 made that kid!

Drayton assured bim .that he would keep his outh of office.\u201cIt was in me, remember,\u201d be went on, \u201cthat Drayton confided hia resolve to serve the public.| wns delighted at the news, A few weeks ago he Informed me his first opportunity was at hand.Through one of the men In bis office he had learped that Hayden of the Suburban Electric was gnek.ing to consolidate that road, which had fallen toto partial disrepute under his management during the illness of Thornhill, the president, with the Clv- fe.The consolidation would raise the vaine of the Suburban pesr'y two mil llon

winter, particularly as he con: sidered such precautions unnecessary.But Hayden was firm.This spot, he pointed out, was ideal, and the mayor at lust laughingly gave in.The sum involved was well worth taking a lit tle trouble to gain.\u201d Professor Bolton paused and blinked his dim old eyes.\u201cSo the matter was arranged,\u201d he continued.\"Mr.Bland, a clerk in Hayden's employ, wus sent up

to cook the dinner,\u201d said a London hostess tc someone she asked to dine with her and as the someone was à judge ol good dinners the invitation was ac cepted.Consulting cook and hotel proprie tor describes the calling of this capable gentlewoman who has made such a name for herself that anxious hostesses entertaining royalty foi the first time are glad to secure hei advice.But supervising a dinner in someone else's kitchen ls not the most pleasing part of her work.Ta take command for an evening, very often over the heads of one or twg men cooks, is difficult, but Mrs, Lewis is helped out by her sense of humor, and says that her experiences in some kitchens would make amus- Ing reading.Sometimes for some great dioner for which additional house-room 1s needed, she is asked to build up a tent, and she often furnishes it and ornaments it with china and pictures, for she makes this her occupation as well as the catering and cooking for the actual dinner.Sometimes when a host or hostess wishes to entertain many guests to dinner and a ball, Mrs.Lewis takes a big vacant house and furnishes it for one night, in all the rooms that are seen, as completely as if its owners were still occupying it.\u201d Preparing an important dinner is no light task.\u2018I asked Mrs.Lewis what was the tlme-table of her day when she went out to cook ome of © these dinners that have made her so famous.It is a very long day's work.She is at the market at 5 a.m.to buy her material; at seven her staff is ready to help her in her own kitchen, and she begins with the last dishes of the dinner, preparing the sweets and ices, next she turns to the cleaning and preparation of the vegetables, and then to the materials for the soup and the making of the cold dishes.By one o'clock the meals and birds are all prepared for the cooking, and at six all the things to be cooked at the house where the dinner is to be given are put in hampers and taken over there.\u201d Mra.Lewis began her education as a cook when she was only thirteen, learning her art in the kitchen of several persons of title and large establishments.She believes that a woman cook may be as great a success as the most noted chefs, and con- giders that an accomplished woman cook 1¢ more satisfactory than a man cook of equal attainments, Women cooks are more resourceful, she says, less apt to make difficulties, and grumble less at their work than men, though, on the other hand, they are, as a rule, more extravagant than men cooks, not understanding so well the financial aspect of cooking and catering.No cook with her training completed leaves Mrs.Lewis\u2019 kitchen for another place at less than $5600 a year.Whispering.What is the most arresting noise\u2014 the human shout, the fire bell, the toot or scream of the motorcar?Not a bit.A doctor will tell you that the human whisper is the wakener.A patient may sleep through all the noises but that, which some people think secret, in a railway train, And the first thing a nurse has to learn is not to whisper, for you can waken the soundest sleeper with that when a conscientious carpenter's hammer would leave him sound asleep.\u2014Lon- don Standard, ea.Se

pigs.\u2018I'lie houses that are used for farrowing purpuses In tbe early spring can be used almost throughout the year in connection with the proper handling of the hogs.says the Kausas Farmer.This Is especially true of the small individ- pal furrowing bouses which may be moved bout the farm wherever it is desired to have suitable shelter for the stock, By blocking them up in the pastures they furnish shelter from the sun while permitting the wind to blow through underneath, On liguring the cost of labor aud material required to build a hog house large enough to nccommodate a dozen gows convenlently at farrowing time it is found at the Kunsus Agricultural college that the cost Is greater than tnt required to build a dozen individual hog houses, the difference varying somewhat according to the style and size of the bouses, In the case of the centralized hog house the work of taking care of the sows can all be done in the same bulld- ing, thus taking less work than the same number of sows would require if kept in Individual houses.A centralized Log house is warwer than an indl- vidual bouse, and in case of early farrowing tbis makes tbe former very desirable.A centralized hog honse, however, keeps the hogs close togetber, and In case of disease there is greater danger that it will spread rapidly than it the logs were kept In individual houses.FEED AND MILK FLAVOR.Corn and Bran Not Superior to Other Wholesome Grain Mixtures.The federaul department of agriculture recently reported tbe results of experiments to test the effect of oats on the flavor of mik.These experiments showed that oats do not bave the beneficinl effect on the flavor of milk which many dairymen believe.But as corn and bran constituted the ration tested against oats the public has galued the impression erroneous- lg that the department recommend the feeding of corn and brau to improve the flavor of milk.Of fifty opinions expressed regarding the flavor of the sninples twenty-five preferred the milk from cows fed corn und bran.As sixteen preferred the milk from cows fed outs and nine expressed no choice, it does not appear that either ration has any decided advantage over the other.There can be no great superiority in the bran and corn when one-half of the opinions were either indifferent or were in favor of the other milk.In view of these experiments the department does not recommend the feeding of bran and corn to improve the flavor of milk, Oats, corn, alfalfa hay, cottonseed meal, Hnseed meal, bran, gluten and other good feeds for dairy cows when properly fed in reasonable amounts produce a fine flavored milk, but there is no substantial evidence that any one of them Is superior to any of the others in this re spect.Lameness From Splints.Splints on horses usunily cause lame: ness only when the growth is forining, or at the time when there ts an in.flarumation present.At this time the splint is classified as a temporary unsoundness.As soon as the inflammation disappears the Inmeness also disappears unless the cords of the leg rub on it, which is very rare, nnd when the lameness bas disappeared they are classified as a blemish.\"The tendency for this growth {s to gradually dimin ish In size ns the anlmal grows older.There is no known treatment that will cause thew to be absorbed.It Is claim- cd that rubbing them may basten their disappearance.ee Fashions In Diseases, There are curious fashions in diseases.How a doctor would stare at a patlent who complained of the eighteenth century megrims! And from Dorothy Osborne's letters It is evident that the spleen was the favorite seat of malady ther If you didn\u2019t feel well it was ! fault of your spleen.To-day, 1 s.ppose, there are few men or

he had retired from practice\u2014announo= ed that the operation is usually super fluous.\u2014London Chronicle.A Ghost Is at Work, A haunted ntation is causing a deal of excitement in police circles in Calcutta just now.The strange experiences of those who have done duty and lived ut the Fenwick Bazar Thana, have time and again been related, but the strangest experience heard of is that which occurred recently at the same place.One of the sub-inspectors had retired for the night, and had apparently fallen into a heavy sleep.\u2018The thana wus empty except for the writer head constable and the constable on lockup duty.Just after midnight a great noise was heard in the room upstairs.Thinking there was something wrong the head constable went upstairs and found the inspector already awake, making inquiries as to where the noise had come from, It was then ascertained that a quantity of harness ahd saddlery which kad been hung on a peg, had been strewn across the floor, .but no one was visible.A search was also made {in case any intruder may have entered the premises, but no one could be seen.The inspector retired to rest again, and all appeared quiel, when a noise even greater than the first vas heard.On this occasion all those awake in the thana, including the inspector, rushed out, but no one wns to be seen.It was, however, ascertained that one of the inspector's armchairs had been pitched out of the sitting-room into the compound and smashed to pieces, The constable on gate duty was questioned, but hoe denied that anybody had left or entered the thana, Milady\u2019s | Mirror Cultivating Plump Elbows.The bot, drying, scorching rays of summer work buvoc with the complexion, and the girl who wants to bave a pretty skin to match Ler soft, transparent white and faintly tinted summer gowns must take à greut deal of care of herself.Fashions change, it is true, but all girls love pretty, dimpled elbows, even It the sleeves displaying them are pot to be worn, and fortunately there is nothing eusler than to bring sharp, thin, bony elbow joints Into shape.Where arms ure too thin the use of cocoa butter Is to be recommended, This, being a byproduct of the cocon bean, is nourishing and fattening, but the skin must be in condition to receive it properly.Thorough cleansing, sof- teniug and opening of the pores ure necessary, that full beuefit frown the application may be felt.Cloths wrung out of warm water should be applied at night.\u2018They should be held on until a little cool, then warmed ugain until the skin feels soft and is pink.Then rub with a generous amount of cocoa butter, slightly warmed, In each paim, the opposite elbow placed in the hand.Use the motion around and around until all\u2019 greasy feeling is gone.This takes quite awhile, for cocon butter is rather greasy, but a little practice will soon prove that the process is not too tiresome, The rubbing may be contluued up fro the wrist if the forearm be a lit tie too thin, and from there to the shoulder where the whole arm seems to require the addition of more flesh, but if only the elbow joint is bony, just on that juint will answer, Banishing Blackheads.To cure blackheads be careful of the diet.Eat nothing rich or greasy.Glve up pastry, new bread and sweet things.Drink two or three glasses of milk u day.See that the digestion is kept in good order.Take one or two teaspoon: fuls as required of coufection of sulphur every night and get this misture made up: Sulphate of iron.sixteen grams; dilute sulphuric acid, one dram; magnesium sulphate, one ounce: pep- permiut water to make six ounces.Take n dessertspoonful in a little water half an bour before breakfast every morning.Walk two or three miles a day.Drink a glass of cold water an honr before each meal, Take a hot bath every might and a tepid one each morning.Use a tar tollet soap, and every morning, after washing and well drying the face.sponge the following lotion lightly on: Boracic acid.one.half dram: rectified spirits, one and one-half ounce.Steam the face once a week: then squeeze out the largest blackheads and apply a mixture of equal parts of boracle ointment and sulphur ointment.A Hint For Golfers.A woman golfer who owns a beau titul, smooth complexion attributes the preservation of her skin to ber plan of dissolving a little isinglass in hot wilk, bathing her fuce in it and allowing it to dry on before she ventures out.Any feeling of contraction soon pusses off, and the isinglass forms an invisible coating to the skin and protects it from the ravages of the wind, Instead of isinglass either gelatin or white of egg beaten to a froth may be employed.The latter Is an excellent remedy against all chappiug and is ju itself a cleanser.A good plan after the face has Leen exposed to the wind or cold fs to sponge it with rosewater into which has been dropped a little enu de cologne or lavender water, or as a fur ther emollient apply cold milk to the skin.Tinted Face Powders.Of recent times the l'arisiennes seem to have gone mud over tinted face powders and tinted wigs.The very latest idea is a pale lemon yellow face powder, which is supposed to give an extraordinary softness to the skin.An artistic but highly unnatural ey- clamen pink rouge is used in conjune- tion with the pale yellow powder, and the throat and neck are coated with flesh pink and pure white powder.This pecullar makeup is intended for evening use only.The lemon yellow and cyclamen pink makeup look effective on a falr haired womnn who possesses u pair of dark gray eyes.Lovely Eyelashes.To produce sweeping, curling lnstes daily attention Is necessary.Get a soft brush made for the purpose and gently brush them twice n day.The last thing at night apply this evelash cream: Sweet oll of almonds, one half dram: simple tincture of benzoin, one-quarter dram; glycerin, one-half dram; lanolin, one hinlf drame: nttar of roses, one drop.\u2018This Increnses the growth and silkiness of the eyelashes To make them curl upward Iny one finger under them and raise upward.Do this as often ag vou cnn think of it.Softening Water, If your skin ig delicate apd gets

Charles 1I.The Scots In Ulster first established linen manufactories during the reign of James, and from this beginning has the business of the present day developed.\u2014\u2014 Stole the Colonel's Ice Cream.In the Toronto Police Court the other day a number of lads were brought up before Col.Denison for stealing fce cream.It seems that these boys had followed the trail of one of the larger ice cream makers and picked up the packages in the residential district whenever opportunity offered, the result being that not only did householders lose their dessert, but incidentally some of the youths ate so much of the cream that they became very 111 indeed.However, those who were well enough appeared before the colonel to answer the charge.There was nothing to it, in spite of Crown Attorney Corley good-naturedly pleading for them, but gullty, and they were fined a dollar each, with a\u2018 warning that they would not get off so easily a second time, After the court adjourned, Mr.Corley said to Col.Denison.\u201cAre you aware, colonel, that one of those boys stole your dessert the other night?\" \u201cThe little beggar!* remarked the colonel.\"No, 1 did not know it, and I am glad that you didn\u2019t tell me.\u201d Aud the colonel, with an amused amile on his facs, sald in a reñec- tive voice: \u201cBe got fined a dollar, anyhow.\"-\u2014Toronto Saturday Night,

as Convenient.The style and color of awnings should be studied so that a pleasing effect from a distance will be the result of their use.Striped awnings are generally popular, especially those of green and blue, with white and buff with red.These stripes are to be found in several widths.A brown and buff combination is a wise selection for the brown bungalow or shingled house in a rambling style of architecture.A recent departure which promises to be more than popular, even though it is more expensive, is the plain white canvas on which the stripe or design is painted.This style allows a chance for individuality of taste.When the design on white or cream is used the under side 1s usually painted over with a restful soft green.Authorities say that these painted canvas shades last longer than the ordinary coarsely woven awnings.In ordering awnings one is apt to decide on a stripe and not designate the width.If a house is of extensive dimensions and stands at the end of a long avenue, drive or walk and is well surrounded with follage a wide stripe ls most effective, while a smaller house with a Hmited approach calls for a nar- rowstripe or even a plain material.Several new awning devices have been brought out.One for use with the casement window which opens outward bas a frame with an extra rib or rod near the top, which holds the canvas high and gives freedom to the window.\u2019 Dyeing White Shoes.One way of prolonging the service of white shoes after thay have been cleaned many times is to make them tan colored.They can be made a pretty brown by applying saffron.Mix ten drops of saffron with three tea spoonfuls of olive ofl.Clean the shoes well before applying tbe mixture, as all dark spots will show.Apply witb a plece of flannel, and after two coats they will took equal to new.A Sanitary Grater.The glass grater is new.It 1s a roughly pebbled slab of glass screwed to a flat back of wood, making it very convenient to handle, as the wood does pot
