naaji CHAPTER VIII. (Continued.) The limestone pifce was the sam. arid the creek was still rushinjr noisily over the stones In lt3 bed. as Tom rsmarked, gratefully. Eut the heaviest of the buffets came when the barrier hills were passed and the surrey horsos made no motion to turn in at the gate of the oldf oak-shlnsleJ house beyond the Iron-works. "Hold on!" said Tom. "oesn,t til0 driver know where we live?" "That's the superintendent's once and tab'ratory now. son. It was getting to be tolerably noisy down here for your mammy, so nigh to the plant. And we allowed to s'prise you. We've teen bulldin us I new house up on the knoll Just thi3 side o' Major Dabney'a." It was the crudest of the changes the one hardest" to bear; and It drove the boy back Into the dumb reticence which was a part of his birthright. Had they left him nothing by which to remember the old days days which were already beginning to take on the Slamour of unutterable happiness past . Tom saw well-kept lawns, park-like troves and pretentious country villas where he had once trailed Nance Jana through the "dark woods." and his father told him the names and circumstance of the owners as they drove up the pike. There was Rockwood, tha summer heme of the Stanleys, and The Dell, owned, and inhabited at injrvals. by Mr. Young-Dickson, of the South Tredegar potteries. Farther alon? there was Falrmount. whose owner was wealthy cotton-seed buyer; Rook Hill, which Tom remembered as the ancient roosting ground of the migratory "winter crows; and Farnsworth Park, ruralizing the name of Its builder. On the most commanding of the hillsides was a pile of rough-cut Tennessee marble with turrets and many rabies, rejoicing in the classic name of Warwick Lodge. This, Tom was told, was the country home of Mr. Farley himself, and the house alone had cost a fortune. At the turn in the pike where you lost sight finally of the iron-works, there was a new church, a miniature In native stone of good old Stephen Hawker's church of Morwenstow. Tom gapel at the sight of It. and scowled when he saw the gilded cross on the tower. "Catholic!- he said. "And right here In our valley:" -Xo."WaId the father; lt's Plscopallan. Colonel Farley is one o' the vestries, or whatever you call 'em, of St Michael's yonder In town. I reckon he wanted to get his own kind o- people round him out here, so he built this church, and they run It as a sort of a side-show to the big church. Your mammy always looks the other way when we come by." Tom looked the other way, too. watching anxlwsly for the first sight of the new home. They reached it rood time, by a graveled driveway leading up from the white pike between rows of forest trees; and there was a second negro waiting to take the team, when they alighted at the veranda ' steps. The new house was a two-stori?d brick, ornate and palpably assert'.ve. with no suggestion of the homely ornlort of the old. Yet, when his mother had wept over him in the wide hall, and there was time to go about, taking It all In like a cat exploring a strange rarret. it was not so bad. But there were compensations, and Tom discovered, one of them on the first Wednesday evening after his arrival. The new home was within easy walking distance of Little Zoar, and he went with his mother to the prayer- - meeting. The upprr end of the pike, was unchanged, and the little, weather-beaten church stood In Its grorlng of piles, the same yesterday, to-day and for ver. Better still, the congregation, th? small Wednesday-nlht gathering at least, held the familiar faces of the country folk. The minister was a young missionary, zealously earnest, and lacking as : et the quality of hardness and doctrinal precision which had been the boy's daily tsread and meat at the sectarian school. What wonder, then, that when when the call for testimony was made, the old pounding and heart-hammering set in, and dut7. duty, duty, wrote itself In flaming letters on the dingy walls? Tom set his teeth and swallowed hard, and let a dozen of the others rise and sptik and sit again. He could feel the beating of his mother's heart, f.nd he knew she was praying silently for him, praying that he would not deny his Master. For her sake, then but not yet; there was still time enough after the next hymn after the next testimony when the minister should give another invitation. lie was chained to the bench and could not rise; his tongue clave to the roof of his mouth and his lips were like dry leaves. The silences grew longer; all. or nearly all. had spoken. lie was stifling. "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess al3o before my Father which Is In heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men. him will I also deny before my Father which Is in heaven." It was th,o solemn voice of the young minister, anU Tom staggered to his feet with the lamps whirling in giddy circles. "I feel to say that the Lord is pre clous to my soul to-night Pray for me, that I may ever be found faitli ful." He struggling through the words of the familiar form gaspingly and sat down. A burst of triumphant son arose: 0 happy day, that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour and my God!" and the ecstatic aftermath came. Tru ly, it was better to be a doorkeeper In the house of God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. What bliss was there to be compared with this heartmelting, soul-lifting blessing for duty done? It went with him a good part of the way home, and Martha Gordon respect ed hjs silence, knowing well what heights and depths were engulfing the young spirit But afterward alas and alas; that there should always be an "after ward"! Vhen Tom had kissed his mother good-night and was alone in his upper room, the reaction set la What had he done? Were the words the outpouring of a full heart? Did they really mern anything to hirn, or to those v. ho 1 ard them? He grasped despairingly r.t the fast-fading glories of the vision, dropping on hh kneos at the bedside. "O God. let me see Thee and touch Thee, and be sure, sure he prayed, over and over again; and so finally sleep found him still on his knees with his faces buried in tho bed clothes. CHAPTER IX. Fcr the first few vacation days Tom rose with the sun and lived with the Industries, marking all the later expan sivo strides and sorrowing keenly that ho had not been present to see them taken In detail. One morning he ran plump into the Major, stalking grandly along the tCe-paved walk and smoking a war time heroot of preposterous length.

QUICKENING

LYNDE Franc! Lynda The despot of Paradise, despot now only by the courtesy of the triumphant genius of modernity, put on his eyeKlasses and stared Thomas Into respectful rigidity. "Why, bles3 my soul! if it isn't Captain Gordon's boy! Well, well, you your.g limb! If you didn't faveh youh good fatheh In eve'y line and lineament of youh face, I should neveh have known you you've grown so. Shake hand3. suh!" Tom dlJ it awkwardly. It is a gift to be able to shake hands easily; a gift withheld from most girl3 and all boys up to the soulful age. But there was worso to follow. Ardea was somewhere on the peopled verandas, and th Major, more terrible in his hospitality than ha had ever appeared in the oldtime rage-fits, dragged his hapless victim up and down and around and about in searcn or r.er. oi say nowuj u Vrdea? Why, you yöung cub, where are youh mannehs, suh?" Thus the Major, when the victim would have broken away. It was a fiery trial for Tom a waypicking among red-hot plowshares of embarrassment. How the well-bred folk smiled, and the grand ladies drew their Immaculate skirts aside to make passing-room for his dusty feet! How one of them wondered, quite audibly. where in the world Major Dabney had inearthed that young native! Tom was conscious of every fleck of dust on his clothes and shoes; of the skilless knot in his necktie; of the school-desk droop In his shoulders; of the utter superfluousness of his big hands. And when, at the long last Arda was discovered sitting beside a gorgeously attired Queen of Sheba, who also smiled and examined him minutely through a pair of eye-glasses fastened on the end of a gold-mounted stick, the place of torment wherever and whatever it might be, held no deeper pit for him. What he had climbed the mountain to find was a little girl in a school frock, who had sat on the yellowing grass with one arm around the neck of a great dog, looking fearlessly up at him and telling him she was sorry he was golns away. What he had found was a very staturesque little lady, clad in fluffy summer white, with the other Ardea's slate-blue eyes and soft voice, to be sure, but with no other reminder of the lost avatar. From first to last from the moment she made room for him, dusty clothes and r.U, on the settee between herself and the Queen of Sheba, Tom was con scious of but one clea'rly-dcfined thought-an overmastering desire' to get away to be free at any cost. iSut. the way of escape would not disclose itself, so he sat in stammering misery, answering Ardea's questious about the sectarian school in bluntest monosyl lables. and hearing with his other ear a terrible Major tell the Queen of She ba all about the railroad Invasion, and how he Tom Gordon had run to find punk match to fire a cannon In th-s Dabney cause. lie escapea iinauy irom me entan glements of Major Dabney's hospital ity. On the way down the cliff path the fire burned and the revival zeal was kindled anew. There had been times, in the last year, especially, when he had thought coldly of the disciple's calling and was minded to break away and be a skilled craftsman, 'ke his f.ither. row he was aghast I hlnk that he had ever been so near tC. rink of apostasy. With the river of the Water of Life springing crystal clear at his feet should he turn away and drink from the bitter pools In the wilderness of this world? With prophet ic eye he saw himself as another Boan erges, lifting, with all the inspiring eloquence of the son of th:hder, the liaptlst's soul-shaking cry. Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven Is at hand! The thought thrilled him, and tha fierce glow of enthusiasm became an intoxicating ecstasy. The tinkling drip of falling water broke into the noonday silence of the forest like the low-voiced call of a sacred bell. For the first time since leaving the mountain top he took note of his surroundings. He was standing bes'.de the great, cubical boulder under the cedars the Mgh altar In nature's mbuntaln tabernacle. Thomas Jefferson had the deep peace of the fully committed when he rose from his knees and went to drink t.t the spouting rock lip. It was decided now, this thing he had been holding half-heartedly in abeyance. There would be no more dallying with temntation, no more rebellion, no more irreverent stumblings In the dark valley of doubtful questions. More especially. he would be vigilant to guard against those backslidlngs that came so swifily on the heels of each spiritual quicken ing. His heart was fixed, so Irrevoca bly, so surely, that he could almost wish that Satan would try him there and then. But the enemy of souls was nowhere to be seen In the leafy archc? of the wood, and Tom bent again to take a second draft at the spouting rock lip. He was binding over the sunken bar rel A shadow, not his own, blurred the water mirror. He looked up quickly. "Nan!" he cried. She was standing on the opposite side of the barrel basin, looking down on him with good-natured mockery In the dark eyes. "I 'lowed maybe you wouldn'l have such a back load of religion after you'd been off to the school a spc'l," she said, pointedly. And then: "Does it always make you right dry an' thirsty to say your prayers, Tommy-Jeffy." Tom sat back on his heels and regarded her thoughtfully. His first Impulse was out of the natural heart, rageful, wounded vanity spurring It on. It was like her heathenism Impertinence to look on at such a time, and then to taunt him about It afterward. Rut slowly as he looked a curious change came over him. She was the same Nan Bryerson, bareheaded, barelegged, with the same tousled mat of dark hair, and, the same childish indifference to a whole frock. And yet she was not the same. The subtle difference whatever it was, made him get up and offer to shake hands with her and he thought It was the newly-mado vows constraining him, and took credit therefor. "You can revile me as much as you like now. Nan." he said, with prldeful humility. "You can't make me mad any more, like you used to. I'm older now, and and better, I hope. I shall never forget that you have a preciojs soul to save." Her response to thi3 was a scoffing laugh, shrill and challenging. Yet he could not help thinking that it made h?r look prettier than before. "You can laugh as much as you want to; but I mean It," he Insisted. "And. besides. Nan of all the things that I've been wanting to come back to. you're the only one that isn't changed." And again he thought it was righteous guile that was making him kind to her. "D'ye reckon you shorely mean that Tom Gordon?" she said; ".ad the lips which lent themselves so easily to scorn were tremulous. She was Juat his age, and womanhood was only a step across the threshold for her. "Of course I do. Let me carry your bucket for you,"

I She Itad hung the litue wooden plg j

gin under the drip of tha spring and it was full and running over. But when he had lifted It out for her, she rinsed and emptied it. "I just set it there vo cool some," sha explained. "I'm goin up to Sunday Hock afte' huckleberries. Come and go "long with me, Tom. ' He assented with a willingness aa eager as It was unaccountable. Ii she had asked him to do a much less reeor.able thing, he was not sure that hi could have refused. And as they went together through the wood, spicy with the June fragrances, questions like those of the boyhood time thronged on him, and he welcomed them as a return of at least one of the vanished thrills and was grateful to her. When they were fairly under the overhanging cliff face of Sunday Rock, she darted away, laughing at him over her shoulder, and daring him to follow her along a dizzy shelf half-way up the crag; a narrow ledge, perilous for a mountain goat. This, as he remembered later, was the turning-point in her mood. In im agination he saw her try it and fall; saw her lithe, thapely beauty lying broken and mangled at the cliffs foot; and In three bounds he had her fast locked In his restraining arms. Shu strove with him at first, like a wrestling boy, laughing and taunting him with being afraid for himself. Then Tom Gordon, clean-hearted as yet. did not know precisely what happened Suddenly she stopped struggling ani lay panting in his arms, and quite us suddenly he released her. "Xan!" he said, in a swiftly sub merging wave of tenderness, "I didn't go to hurt you!" bhe sank down on a stone at nis feet and covered her face with her hands. But she was up again and turning from him with eyes downcast before he could comfort her. (To be continued.) THE FAT MATT. Sleeps Detter and Is More Cheerful Than Lean Brother. Despite the fact that Julius Caesar, through hi3 authoritative spokesman, Shakespeare, expressed a preference for men of lesh, "sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o nights," succeeding degenerate ages have shown a disposition to admire the lean and poke fun at the fat man. Women are not to he considered. FGrever Inscrutable, while the prevailing fashion of their dress would seen: to indicate their admiration of slen derness in their own sex. It by ne means follows that they are attracted to the bean-pole type of man. ' Similarly, when sex Is considered, man himself 13 of various taste; a Turkish woman who Is not absolutely fat is a Turkish woman destitute of charm. The subject is a broad one, with many and historical aspects, from the time when Peshurun, as we read In Deuter onomy, waxed fat and kicked." Just now It is given a serious and very interesting discussion by Dr. George M. Niles, In the Journal of the American Medical Association. Every one is aware of the value of fat as a source of energy for the development of heat. That phase of the fat man's condition may be passed by. Another one Is of larger importance. Says Dr. Niles: "It has been commonly known from the earliest antiquity that fat people are more contented, more optimistic. than lean ones, and that their viewpoint of Ufa In general is lrgely governed by this prosaic attribute. Now,, I might compare the supply of fat to the ample bank account of a busy and provident man. That he possesses this surplus does not prevent him from diligently following his usual avocation (sic), but the knowledge of its presence lends a mental satisfaction that would be absent were ho living right up to his dally income." This may be true; who can say?' It is so easy to generalize and, as a mat ter of fact, so Impossible to be certain about such things. One might particu larize through a column or two and arrive at no definite conclusion. Napoleon was a fat little man and Infinitely greater than the lean Wellington; Dr. Johnson and Gibbon were grossly fat. but Emerson and Carlyle were bare tc the bene. And so forth. One thing, at least, seems clear; the fat man may not be as spry on his feet as his lean brother; he may not, as a rule, be as agile of mind, but he eats a better meal and enjoys a sounder sleep. He Is more cheerful; hl3 laugh is her.rtier. In fact, some of him have laughed and grown fat.

RAZIL has practically a monop- " oly of the world's irupply of the black diamond, while the United States is its largest market. It is found in La Chapada and Lavras districts the province of Bahia", Brazil, of where li is mined from river bed3 and other alluvium. The miners sell their find to agents of exporting firms in the city of Bahia. It is calculated that this port ships annually about $4,000,000 to $1,600,000 worth of black diamonds',and, with the adoption of modern methods and machinery in place of the extremely primitive ones formerly employed, the industry will be tremendously stimulated. About twenty-five years ago a stone of 1,100 carats was found, followed by one of 1,700 carats, and InlS93 a gigantic stone of 3,078 carats, or 615 grams, which was purchased by a New York house for $32,000 and broken up into pieces of suitable size for diamond drills. At present prices this stone would be worth about $262,000. During the past ten year3 stones of 400 to 00 carats have been discovered. while they are frequently found weighing from 100 to 200 carats. Previous to 1870 carbonado was practically valueless. From 1870 to 1S72 it was employed as an abrasive for cutting and polishing the white gems, and thousands of carats were sold at 50 cents per carat, to be crush ed to powder for this purpose. A few ! years later when carbonado was employed in diamond drilling, it sold at from $2 to $4 a carat. Between 1835 and the present the market value has fluctuated between $25 and $S5 a carat, this high price being caused by the decline in the supply of carbonado in the past ten years, while the demand has increased. In connection with the subject of black diamond consumption in drilling, it is interesting to remark that in digging tho drill hole at Rybnlk (Paruschowitz), Upper Silesia, which attained a depth of nearly 7,000 feet, upward of $23,000 worth of carbonado was used. The conditions are entirely different from those of Africa. The gravel; sand, and other material containing diamonds lie in or near the beds of streams and rivers, and have been washed down by erosion from high "chapadas" or plateaus, which 1 re probably the original matrix in which Brazilian diamonds were formed. As Is natural, gold and a variety of other substances, such as Itsolumnite, olivine, limestone, hematite, granite, gneiss, and clay are associated with the diamonds. The diamond-bearing material of Brazil consists of a conglomerate, sometimes interbedded with hard yellow sandstone, which Is washed down through erosion by rivers, or, in some cases, may be badly decomposed and rotten rock. Fossils are generally lacking. The deposits often consist of schists and schistose clay, diamond-bearing clays, reddish earth, granitic and gnelssic formations, and pebbles of various sorts. The states of the republic which havo yielded diamonds are Minas Geras, Parana, Bahia, Goyaz, and Matto Grosso. It is in the first named that DIamantina, celebrated for the rich diamond mines In Its vicinity, is situated. The city is well built and lies at the headwaters of the Joqultinhonha, or Diamond, river, a stream 850 miles long, which empties into the Atlantic at Belmonte. To the east of DIamantina Is tho peak of Mount Itambe, 5,960 feet, in the Serra Espln- , eco Range. The mines are situated north of Rio de Janeiro, 800 kilometers, or 497 miles, north of Ouro Preto, the capital of Mlnas Geraes. The territory in which they are situated ' forms a vast ellipse, 80 kilometers, or 50 miles,' by 40 kilometers, or 25 miles. In a plateau 1,000 to 1,200 meters (3.2S0 to 3.937 feet), containing a number cf valleys cut by th Jequlntinhonha and Its left tributaries, Rlbelrao do Inferno, Rio Caethe, etc., and also by the Sao Francisco's affluents which flow to the northwest, in a very different basin. Although diamond mining has been The Diplomat and the Cat. In the biography of Oscar Browning it Is Telated that Lon Odo Russell. British papal ambassador in 1S48, told him of the most delicate affair he had ever adjusted. The exiled queen of Naples, an excellent pistol shot, lived near Cardinal Antonelli's mother, the houses standing back to back. On the tcp of the boundary wall between the gardens used to parade a magnificent Persian cat, the property of the cardinal's mother. "The queen, who rose very early, saw the cat one morning, and the temptation was too strong for her. She fired, and it fell. The excitement was tremendous, the chanceries of the Holy City were overwhelmed with correspondence, but the affair was at last composed by the efforts of Odo Russell, the universal peacemaker. He told mo that up to that time the two most difficult affairs which had fallen to his lot to arrange were the jmbrollment of General Fox (who had een challenged by the French commandant) and the murder of Cardinal Antonelli's mother's cat."

more extensively and systematically pursued in the states of Minas Geraea and Bahia than elsewhere In Brazil, Matto Grosso, Goyaz, and Parana have yielded sufficient results to Justify the belief that their future as centers cl diamond production will be prosperous. The primitive methods of mining employed in Brazil until recent years have, nevertheless, abundantly revealed the natural productiveness o! the Brazilian diamantiferous deposits. Two native methods are still very largely in use. according to the local ity to be worked. The first of these, which is found suitable for the diamond-bearing streams of the DIamantina district, somewhat resembles placer gold washing. The process consists primarily in digging out sand and gravel, which are put into small wooden bowl3, each capable of holding 8 or 1") pounds. The native miners then proceed in Indian file with their, loads to some convenient part of a river or stream, where they laborious ly wash out their material, gradually getting rid of all lighter particles and debris until the hidden diamonds, whose specific gravity is 3, reveal themselves through their weight and peculiar luster. Iron pans with small perforated holes are sometimes used . to hasten the process of extraction. A modification of this plan, where considerable pit has been excavated, consists in finding a cuive in the riv er some distance above, with a natural fall of 20 or 30 feet, and diverting thither a part of the stream through an artificial channel. A different method of iaining has to be employed in the localities called "chapadas,' or plateaus, where dia monds are Imbedded In compact, somewhat resistant, conglomerates. A small reservoir,' or If necessary, two or three reservoirs, are built, rude dams are placed at various points across the nearest available river, and with the increased vater power thus obtained the conglomerates are washed down a ravine to the desired lower level, where the process of further diamond extraction may be continued Primitive as are the processes de scribed, they have yielded in the past one hundred and eighty years sur prlsingly rich returns. According to the best authorities, the total Bra zilian diamond production, including the extenslxe contraband trade prac tised during the Portuguese colonial regime. Is estimated at 12,000,000 carats, or 2ft metric tons. The total export value of diamonds of every sort from Brazil in 1906 is conservatively calculated at about $3,000,000. One of the first enterprises to install dredging and hydraulic machinery for the extraction of diamonds such as thV alluvial diamantiferous deposits of the Republic require was the Boa Vis ta company. In 1899, formed in Paris. with a capital of 2,000,000 francs, or $400,000. Their mining concessions were situated at Boa Vista, on the north bank of the Sao Francisco river. above the Falls of Paulo Affonso, and about 300 miles from the Atlantic The Brazilian diamond-bearing de posits so far discovered are all allu vial and surface, and they possess many natural advantages over tha dla,mantiferous fields of South Africa, which, as has already been explained. are "dry diggings,' requiring the most expensive processes and machinery and every device that human ingenuity can invent for the successful exi traction of diamonds. In Brazil, on the other hand, the diamonds cog ceaied can be easily extracted by means of hydraulic and dredging apparatus. A network of rivers and streams affords an unfailing and ccI piua water supply and power. There is no deep mining to be done, as Is the case In South Africa, Only a very small portion of the probable total Brazilian alluvium has been explored, and the river gravels, except in the reaches of only moderate depth, are untouched. Moreover, these gravels in many cases carry enough gold to pay for dredging, and even platinum may be found.

THE REASON.

Frkk The doctor has given h;m up. What's the matter with him? Span Impecuniosity I guesä. Controlled Newspapers. The Atchison Globe says that no ad vertiser has ever tried to control its ed itorial policy, the remark being occa sioned by tie charge often made nowa days, that tho big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Glebe is the experience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a'great deal of advci Using Is more interested in the circulation department of a newspaper than in the editorial department. If a daily paper goes to the hemes of the people, and is read by them, be is satis fied, and it may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul der those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms. and a good many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are not the business men who paytut'lr money for advertising space. The newspapers which are Established j tor political purposes are often con- j trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose j first concern i3 their own interests. ! There are newspapers controlled by great corporations, and the voice of such newspapers is always raised in protest against any genuine reform. The average western newspaper usu ally is controlled by its owner, and he is supposed to be in duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of limes; there are people v.'ho consider It his duty to Insult his advertisers, just to show that he i3 free and inde pendent. If he shows a decent respect for his patrons, who pay him their money, and make It possible for him to carry on the business, he is "subsi dized" or "ctntrolled." The newspaper owner Is a business man, like the dry goods man or the grocer. The merchants are expected to have considera tion for their customers, and they are not supposed to" be subsidized by the man who spends five dollars .with them, but the publisher Is expected to demonstrate his courage by showing that be is ungrateful for the patron age of his friends.

The Mighty Traveler Goes Buoyantly- Through a Long and Trying Reception-Parade, Showing Lively Interest in Everything American

The White Company Receives Unique Compliment for the Sturdy Reliability of Its Steam Car From Mr. Roosevelt and Family

Theodore Roosevelt and After fifteen months' absence, exact1 ly as scheduled. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt disembarked from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, Saturday moni ing, June 18, at 11 a. m. To the keen disappointment of a large group of newspaper correspondents, Mr. Roosevelt absolutely refused, as heretofore, to be interviewed or to talk on political subjects, but his rapid fire of questions showed the same virile interest in public affairs as before. If the welcome , tendered by the vast throng may be considered a criterion upon which to base a "re turn from Elba," surely there was no discordant note in the inmense recep tion-parade, nor in the wildly clangor ous crowd which cheared at every cliniDse and hune on his very word. The incidents yot the day in NewYork were many, but perhaps none better illustrated the nervous energy and vitality of the man, the nar-manla to be up-and-doing. which he has brought back to us, than the discard Ing of horses and carriages for the ewifter and more reliable automobiles The moment the F.oosevelt family and The Miser of Sag Harbor. "Economy,' said Daniel 'W. Field, the millionaire shoe manufacturer of Boston, who at the age of forty-five has entered Harvard, "economy is essential to wealth, but by economy I don't mean niggardliness. "Too many men fall to attain to wealth because, they practise a cheeseparing and ; mean economy that gets everybody down on them. "They practise, in fact, an economy like that of old William Brewster of Sag Harbor. William, you know, would never buy oysters because he couldn't eat shells and all." Watch Your Refrigerator. You'll save many a doctor's bill by watching your refrigerator. Keep it absolutely clean all the time. The best way to clean it 13 to take clean hot water, make a suds with Easy Task soap and wash every nook and corner in the Ice box or refrigerator. Then the food doesn't get smelly and carry disease germs to the table. Easy Task soap, being made of pure cocoanut oil, borax, naphtha and clean tallow. Is antiseptic as well as cleansing. It'ls a wonderful soap and .a nickel a cake. Cost of Spontaneity. "I want the office, of course," said the aspiring statesman, "but not unless I am the people's choice." "We can fix that, too," said his campaign manager; "only you know it's a good deal more expensive to be the people's choice than it Is to go in as the compromise candidate." Household Consternation. "Charley, dear!" exclaimed young Mrs. Torklns, "the baby has swallowed a gold dollar!" "Great heavens! Something must be done. There will be no end to the cost of living if he gets habits like that!"
