Fruit jars have advanced in price. Doesn’t that jar you? If Cuba isn’t careful Congress may decide that it has rejected its independence, and that it shall not have another chance. Another Illinois judge has declared that the blacklist is lawful. If this is so, the sooner the law is changed the better. After experimenting with the “Wave of Reform”, New York has decided to make it warm for Sunday golf players and let it go at that. The Commoner is said to be running boiler plate instead of warmed over rear platform speeches nowadays. Well, it’s an improvement, anyway. Rightly supposing that kleptomania was about played out, the New Jersey girl who was caught stealing from her classmates has -pleaded insanity. What next? It now seems that the Sultan hasn’t paid France yet; he has only promised to pay her at some date unspecified in the future. The United States can therefore breath again. Ninety old Philadelphia trolley ■ lines were incorporated in one day in Pennsylvania under the new law. That is pretty good for a sleepy hollow like the City of Brotherly Love. A georoia sheriff has earned the approbation of the country by shooting some would-be lynchers. The chances are, howeyer, that he has also earned his defeat at the next election. Now that the Department of Agriculture is meeting with such success in fighting pests with their parasites, it is in order for another fool society “For the prevention of cruelty to insects” to be formed. Cuba has accepted the Platt Amendment at last. It might just as well have dome so first as last and probably would have, had the delegates received a lump salary instead of a per diem arrangement. A California college professor got into trouble by talking politics, and a Chicago college professor got laughed at for talking “Degeneracy”. The only thing left for the professors to do seems to be to talk about their studies. The president shows his characteristic frankness in his recent announcement about a third term. No one will question that he is right—as no one will question the fact that if any man should have a third term, it should be William McKinley. At a meeting of the Democratic Carter H. Harrison League in Chicago last week, one of the principal speakers, John J. Coburn, as reported at the time in Chicago papers, said: “We are not of the silk stocking variety. Yon must know that to be a successful Democrat you should have a little Dievil in you. There is no place in the Republican party for the hobo, the saloon keeper, the burglar and the horse thief. They will have to find rest in the party of the people—the Demooratlc party.

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air. It. f<*ll to tin* earth; I know not where. Longfellow. Some of the trees that have the sweetest smelling blossoms produce the bitterest kind of fruit. ’ We wish we had all the money that i has been wasted by p< ople trying to' grow trees. ' The bigger the town the bigger chumps those are called “sassb ty.” Half the things that people oppose, they oppose because somebody else ! wants them. Lots of people fail to appreciate things that others do for them merely on account of ignorance. . Yoh can get but very little advice that is worth listening to. The trouble in a country town is that even if the streets are numbered and named, nobody knows where they are. A man whose footsteps sound like a woman’s does not likely amount to much. An agent selling things around town needs to be careful about whom he quotes as having bought, or his testimony will do him more harm than good. It is incalculable the time that is wasted in this world. Everybody has a grudge at the man who is accused of being a hog. People who think they can imitate women talking, think the way to do it is to talk in a real squeaky voice. Very few women have squeaky voices. The trouble with accident insurance is that you hardly ever have it when you need it. Most any man you meet nowadays has his pockets full of circulars advertising some fool scheme on other. You have no idea how tough a man can look till you see him without his collar. We do not see how a woman who has anything else to do can keep herself in clothes. The time when peoples’ mortgages show up worst is when they try to show oft. Just because a man stops a paper is no sign that he stops reading it. When a woman marries her second husband she often changes her place of buying groceries. When a fellow goes to see his girl in the afternoon on a week day, you may expect the invitation to appear any time. Shiftless men always know about the law tor certain offenses that only no account people are guilty of. Our advice to a preacher would be never to allow his parishioners to see him without his collar on. It is a mighty big man who can acknowledge a mistake. A green streak in people can be traced for three or four generations. A good many people quiet their consciences by lying. Every time yop*go visiting you have to pay the penall.) when you got. home hy the extra amount of work that has accumulated. canteen question will not down and Secretary Root is going to make a determined effort to restore it, and with backing of all the army officers and the National Association of Military Burgeons, he ahould succeed in reestablishing it. Just think! Jerry Simpson was robbed by a bunco artist the other day. Is Jerry determined to work hla way back into the hearts ol the rural voters?

THE IVORY QUEEN

[continued.] Again Darrent waited until she had become calmer “Can you.” he asked as he took his notebook from his pocket, “give me any reason why old Marsden was so bitter against the marriage of yourself and Astray ?” “I only know that many years ago, while I was away at school, my father, a widower, quarreled with Josiah Marsden—what about I never learned, but from that day until my father died the two were deadly enemies, and old Mr. Marsden forbade Astray to ever see or speak tome.” “Do yon know anything of the real relationship between Astray and the old man ?’ ’ “I only know what Astray told me, and that was that Mr. Marsden adopted him when he was quite a child and that he had no recollection of his parents. ” “You do not think that Josiah might have been his father?” “I do not know, Mr. Darrent: indeed I do not know.” “Never mind.” answered Darrent soothingly. “Now, tell me, did you see Astray Marsden between his return to Norcombe from Africa and the murder at The Grange? Remember. I am asking now to try to save him. Tell me ah. you know. ’ ’ “No: I had not seen him for two years until I saw him after the murder. ” “But he had written to you?” “Repeatedly.” Darrent paused again. He seemed to be able to get no further in this problem. Nothing was different from what he had built up all along. This woman could give him no further information, and yet there was still the aching doubt that had been with him all day. His mind reviewed the clews from which he had put together the evidence. Those clews had all passed out of his possession now into the hands of the district attorney", at except the chessman and the broken piece of ivory. They had seemed subsidiary to the main crime that had fitted so well to Astray Marsden that he had kept them to himself, kept them with perhaps the idea that one of these days he might run across the remainder of the set and find out what part, if any, they played in the drama upon which the curtain would J&en have long since been rung down. He recollected that he had placed the pawn in his pocket before he left Norcombe that morning, and almost unconsciously he took the little carved piece out and gazed at it Rising suddenly from the table, the girl crossed the room and, taking from the sideboard a sandal w’ood box inlaid with mother of pearl and ivory, opened it and displayed to Darrent’s astonished gaze a set of chessmen of which that pawn evidently formed a part. “These.” she said, “look exactly like the one you have in your hand, Mr. Darrent. Do yon think that they may help you; that there may be some clew in them?" Darrent. almost too overcome with surprise to answer, slowly took the pieces out and arranged them on the table. There were 81. A red pawn was

missing. He placed the rod pawn he had taken from his jxx-ket beside the others. It was a facsimile. Them could be no question that it belonged to the set. Then Darrent turned his attention to the white pieces. He scrutinized the delicate work of the bishop’s embroidered vestments, the carved pagodas on the backs of the elephants, the flowing robes of the king and queen. He took the white qneen in his hand and examined the carving Yes: a tiny piece had been chipped off, just a little fragment of the delicate ivory filigree crown that rested on the curling hair. He replaced the pieces in the bdx. except the red pawn and the white queen.

and. taking from his pocketbook the scrap of ivory that he picked up fn m the library floor, fitted it exactly into the broken part of the crown. Yes, beyond all doubt, this was the set of chessmen stolen from The Grange. And where had ho fonnd them ? In the house of the fiancee of the man now lying under sentence of death for the murder. A sudden revulsion of feeling seemed to sweep over Darrent. He had, he felt, been wasting his sympathy to no purposa Doubting his own acumen, he had started on a fresh track, he had commenced to reconsider all his conclusions, and yet the very first new step that he had taken had only the more deeply confirmed the damning evidence that his former efforts had accumulated. “Mr. Darrent. do you think it will help your case? Do you think these will prove anything?” she asked, breaking the long pause. “Let me ask you a few questions before I answer.'' “Yes, anything you like —anything that will help Astray. ’ ’ “Where did you get these chessmen ?” “They were sent to me. ” “By whom?” “I do not know. ” “Was there no letter or message with them?” “None.” she hesitatingly answers. "Come, come; you must confide the whois truth to me if I am to help you and Astray. Wheu did you receive theip ?” "Two days after the murder.” "How?” "They came by express.” “Have you the wrapper still?” “I dare say I can find it. Shall I see?” “One moment. You do not know who sent them?” "No;- but the same morning I had a letter from Astray, written in Chicago, telling me that a small box would come addressed to me; that I was to unpack and take care of it for him until we met. ” “You did not know he had been at Norcombe?” “No.” "You have never seen these chessmen before?" "No.” "Astray has never spoken to you about them?” "Never.” "Thank yon; that is all. Yon may now find me the paper in which the box came, if you will. ” While Miss Kingston went in search of the paper Darrent calmly slipped the ivory queen and the red pawn in his pocket and, laying the rest of the pieces evenlv in Lot tin* H 4 * "Thank you,' ' he said as she returned and gave him the desired paper. “Thank you, and goodby. ” » “Do yon think there is any hope?” she asked. “I cannot tell yet. We must do our best. Shall I say anything to Astray for you? I shall see him tomorrow.” "Only teH him that I know that he is innocent. I know it." “More than I do,” muttered Darrent to himself as he walked toward the railway station. eUMTIMUU*.]

Don’t Kick.

A new lodge, something on the order of the Grafld and Altitudinous Association of Stub-Tailed and Left Handed Buffaloes, has been organized The name of the new lodge is the Independent Order of Knock. In this order the members are not required to lift their hats or their booze in their left band, neither are they requiredto pay 11 cents for a lot of nonsense. All that is required of the members is that they refrain from speaking in disrespectful terms of their fellow man. Whenever a member of the lodge knocks on anyone he is requ red to pay a fine of Icent. It is doubtful if people fully appreciate the seriousness of the sin of knocking. L : ves have been ruined, homes have been broken up, hearts made to ache and bleed, and lips have been moved to say things that wouldn’t do for the children to hear all on account of the knocker. The world would be better and the lives of women and men would be sweeter and happier if the common run of people were as handy with their boquets as they are with their hammers. a

About the Weather.

Stop kicking about the weather and complaining it is “too cold” or “too hot.” Let us be cheerful. We have the long, bright summer before us. After the summer comes the autumn, which is the grandest season of the Northern year—with its harvest moons, its half-veiled sunlight shining on the yellow harvest fields, or on the crimson and yellow leaves of the forest, and the Indian summer, with Its wierd lights, dim horizons and smoke wreathed nills. The fruitage of the months then is gathered and reward crowns the brow of labor. This is a glorious world* if we only strive to make it so and take the seasons gratefully as they come to us.
