WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. .What other people have to say in fevfir&to the Fall Festival Is worth riee what we of Richmond may HJflhk we lack perspective. I JL woman who was bora and bred in fO East, but who has lived In Rich'tnond for some years remarked on the JJTall Festival; "The city of Richmond iBeems unable to do anything without Jxavin hysterics over it." It is true that with all that Is going ton, the town has been excited, but hardly to "hysterics." ; At the same time If "hysterics are the by product of the splendid enterprise of the Fall Festival let us have them. We need In Richmond just a little more of the enthusiasm and go which seems to the dwellers of the effete and disgruntled Bast to border on. hysteria. That to all close observers of Richmond life has been Just the thing; lacking. As well have champagne without the fizz the flower without the smell, as a show without enthusiasm. It Is worth while pointing out that we have never f had such enthusiasm before and tha It is the by-product of cooperation, ot working together, of having a common Interest On the other hand a former Richmond man who has traveled to the ends of the earth and back , made the remark: "There was nothing of this in my day. I like it. This simply means that a new growth has taken the place of the old times. That's what Richmond knows and likes to have realized. Another commentator was a New York banker. "Yes," he said, "this is a buly show I like it and above all I like the way the young men have s;one into this

with, spirit and go. This boosting of Richmond which you axe all engaged. It is the proper spirit. The sooner people realize that it is to everybody's advantage to help along Richmond, the sooner you will have profitable results. Enthusiasm is the one thing that you have lacked in the past. I have never seen such public spirit here before."

And there oyu are! There was one other commentator and he a farmer from the neighbor hood of Eaton. 'I had come here expecting an ordi nary show but you fooled me this time. Why it isn't the same time." Boiled down, all the foregoing state ments mean but one thing. Richmond has lost the lethargy which was so firmly rooted, lost the sleepy, tired feeling. Richmond is awake. Call It hysterics" if you will, but instead of a nervous disease it should be diag nosed as the full spirit of health and work well done. Give us more "hysterics." LABOR AND TEMPERANCE. "I wish to state most emphatically that the railroad organizations, as or ganizations, do not approve of any rad ical resolutions whereby organized la bor enters partisan politics or condemns the action of the lawmakers of the state of Indiana. The railroad or ganizations, as far as I know, have taken no part in condemning James E. Watson, and positively they stand for temperance, because the fundamental principles of our organization are founded on sobriety, and all possible efforts are being made to impress upon the minds of the public that we are trying to live up to the principles advocated by us." So spoke the vice president of the legislative board of Railroad Trainmen and a delegate to the recent Vincennes meeting of the Federation of Labor, which passed resolutions against County Local Option Watson and tied up to the brewery interests. He represents the men of the labor unions who declare that they object to being coerced into supporting the brewery trust by their Democratic leaders. Union labor cannot be bound and de livered to some one else no matter who pases resolutions. When the organizations of labor which have for their object, the uplift of working men, (whether it be on the question of wages or sanitary conditions of working surroundings, or the betterment of all the working men in their daily life) tie up to the brewery combine they are doing a dangerous thing. It Is pleasing to see that the senti ment of the rank and file of orgauized labor all over the state, resent bein.T delivered." If there is one thing which should not be interfered with it is the right of the working man to vote as he pleases. What good will it do organized labor to tie up to the most deceitful and treacherous force in Indiana politics the brewery trust, whose very business involves ruin to organized labor. As far back as 1842 the slogan of the glass workers was "educate and leave drink alone. Education is more stimulating and lasting than liquor, and it leaves the head clear. The men of the unions have done well to recognize this the working men as a class are sober and industrious and law-abiding. They do not care especially to be tied t to Tom Taggart and his brewery trust, which in its effect is the most lawless Influence at work in this state. They may care to take a glass of beer now and then but they do not approve of In temperance and brewery control of politics. By supporting Marshall they 6upport T. Taggart, Crawford Fairbanks and Albert Lieber. By electing the tool of Tom Taggart they only help the state to be gagged and bound and rendered helpless to brewery control. That this is not the purpose and desire of the unions Is shown by the opposition to the resolutions passed by the tools of Taggart at the Vincennes meeting condemning Watson and county local option.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE, Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

KITCHEN TO THE PARLOR. Katy. and Hilda and Lena work your Kitchen . and In the kitchens in of your neighbors. Inquire of the postmaster of your town how much money these girls and other housemaids send In the course of a year to their relatives across the water. It will be a large amount. It goes by registered letter to the old country to bring father or mother or sister or brother to this country or to pay doctor or burial bills or buy comforts for the folks over there. The girls cave this money religiously And they do not regard their en forced frugality an a sacrifice. It Is, rated as a joy. Compare the filial solicitude of those strong muaoled, deep chested, rosy raced girls of the kitchen with the ungrateful, even heartless, conduct of some native born girls. Sometimes one almost is tempted to suspect there is something about democratic institutions that breeds Insurrection under the roof tree. Certain it is that the tendency of the times as to the family is changing. The old time discipline, the respect for parental authority, the old time reverence and ready obedience of children are giving way. Possibly it is a logical reaction. Possibly the stern custom of a for mer generation was too severe. Possibly. Certainly there is a deplorable loosening of discipline, a disposition to push the parents Into a corner, to disregard authority even to sneer at parental advice and direction. Is it not so? Who that reads the newspapers is not often shocked at the recital of many cases of base ingratitude on the part of children, and, worse Instances of abandonment and abuse of parents? In fact, the easy way in which famIly ties are loosened including dlvorco Is quite appalling. This Is not vapid pessimism. It Is God s truth. And it is serious, because whatever strikes at the family strikes at the very vitals of our society. Katy and Hilda and Lena bless their tender hearts who come over the ocean to serve a prosperous people, do not cense to love and obey the old folks at home. Katy and Hilda and Lena of the kitchen almost any of them are competent to teach the first principles ot filial devotion to Muriel and Agatha and Genevieve of the front parlor. BEVER1DGE COMPLETES NORTHWESTERN TOUR He Deals With Labor Question in Labor Stronghold. Portland, Ore., Oct. 7. Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indiana spoke here last night, completing his tour of the Northwest. Tacoma and Seattle also were visited Tuesday. Senator Beveridge's exposition of the laws affecting union labor passed by Republican congresses is considered the strongest argument presented in this campaign in this, a strong union labor country. In Seattle, Senator Beveridge urged a greater navy, and pointed out that four additional battle ships would have prevented the war with Spain. BIESER CANDIDATE GERM TICKET Secretary of State Takes a Hand in Third Dist. Fight. Columbus, O., Oct. 7. Secretary of State Thompson ordered the name of Raymond Hornbeck, the Bieser nominee, placed upon the official ballot as presidential elector from the Third district in preference to that of John C. Hooven, who was nominated by the Harding faction. This may further complicate matters in the three-cornered congressional fight that is now being waged in that district, to the detriment of the Republican ticket, as Congressman Eugene Harding is contesting for his second term against William Tarizell, who was placed on the ticket when Clatrow resigned. A Land VVhr Women Are Tyrants. A missionary of long experience In Basutoland has declared that the men there are much more often ill used by their heathen wires than vice versa. The fact Is that these women, by their labor in the fields and their domestic work, support the men; consequently the latter are dependent upon their wives instead of Its being the other way about, as with us. and, the field work making them strong and vigorous, the women are usually quite able to hold their own if ill nsed for Instance, they sometimes bite off their husbands' ears! However, this does not make It any easier for a woman to become a Christian, because then she feels it wrong to assert herself and hit back, and thus she Is at the mercy of her husband, and It is very little mercy she gets , when she refuses to comply with heathen customs.

REPUBLICANS LOOK TO GREAT VICTORY Conditions Over the Country Indicate Election of Ticket. ; PRESIDENT IN CONFERENCE

MEETS WITH ROOT. CORTELYCU, BACON, MEYER AND LOEB AND THE SITUATION IS CAREFULLY REVIEWED. Washington, Oct. 7. The political situation at large, and particularly the prospects for the state and national cfcets in New York, was carefully gone over at a conference at tne White House last night between the President; William L. Ward, New York member of the Republican national committee; Secretary Root, Secretary Cortelyou, Postmaster Gen eral Meyer. Secretary Loeb and As sistant Secretary of State Bacon. Secretary Loeb later told the news paper men there would be no state ment relative to the conference. One of those who took part said, however, a review of conditions showed tin gen eral situation was encouraging to the Republicans and especially good reports were coming in as to the chances of the New York slate ticket. The campaign for Mr. Taft has thrown off the last vestige of idleness, he said. Secretary Loeb states that Presi dent Roosevelt had answered in 1901 the charges made by Alton B. Parker of New York at Baltimore, Monday night, that "when President Roosevelt so sweepingly condemned Haskell for his alleged connection with the Standard Oil company he perhaps forgot that in 1904 his (Roosevelt's) committee received $100,000 from the Standard Oil company for the campaign fund and spent it." "SOMEBODY LIED" YELLS COL. GUFFEY Claims Haskell's Osage Assertion False. Oil ! Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 7. In reply Governor- Haskell's open letter to to President Roosevelt. Col. .1. M. Ouffey ex-democratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania, says: "Haskell's statement that I ever discussed the Osage oil lease with the president is an absolute falsehood. I never met or spoke to President Roosevelt but once, and that was at a reception and dinner given to him July 4, 1902, at the Schenley hotel, Pittsburg. "That I am connected with tie Standard Oil company is a lie more than thirty years old." Advice From a Thief. "An acquaintance of mine had queer experience the other day." said! a man who has hot much faith in any thing. "A short time ago he was Intro1noed to a niclrnnrlrf titr n frlnnrl Tlir i...i..t s ' ....i business. "My friend didn't think anything more about him. but the other nighl he was in a saloon, after he hnd been celebrating most of the day. lie was pretty happy, and the pickpocket came In. My friend had a diamond stud in his tie with a screw attachment. The pickpocket walked up. " 'You may not remember me, hf said, 'but I met you the other night with So-and-so. Take a bit of advicf from me You may lose that shiner of yours if you're not careful. "Then the pickpocket looked at th diamond. He said the screw, attach ment wouldn't stop a good thief froru getting the diamond, but be could fi that. He fished around in his pockets and produced a rubber band, which he tied around the screw. " 'Now,' he said, 'they can only get your stone by biting It off.'" New York Per Old Turkicli Customs. As long ago as 1013 Coryate visited Constantinople and has left a minute account of its manners and customs. Among other matters he notes that "It is the custom that whensoever any fire ariseth In the city to hang up him In whose house it beglnneth. as now a cook In whose house it begun was hanged np presently after the fire ceased." The Turks themselves, it appears, were modela of good breeding. "The Turk doth never at the saluting of his friend at any time of the day or when he drlnketh to him at dinner or supper put off his turban, as we Christians do our hats one to another, but boweth his head and putteth his right band upon his breast, so that he utterly disIiketh the fashion that Is used among us of putting off our hats. Therefore, when he wisheth any ill to his enemy he prayeth God to send him no more rest than a Christ Inn's hat." I consider a human soul without education like marble in a quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties until the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors, makes the surface shine and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs throughout the body of it. Education, after the same manner, when it works upon a noble mind, draws out to view every latent virtue and perfection, which, without such helps, are never abl? to make their appearance and would otherwise to lusLr-Selecte

By Louis - Author of "Wings of the WW Light." COPYRIGHT. 1004. By T do not know. 1 forgot to ask." 'I have a wide experience of the jeunesse doree of London. Hardly a week passed during many years of my life that one of his type did uot appear before me in the dock. What id he a roue, a gambler, probably a drunkard?" All these, 1 gathered from the solicitors." '"And if your mother were living, what would she say to Lady Morlaudr' 'She would pity her from the depths of her heart. Yes, Abiugdou, you are right. My uncle's wife has chosen her own path. She must follow it, let it load where it will. I will write to Messrs. Sharpe & Smith now. But step iuto my dressing room with me for a monitmt, will you?1' In a corner of the spacious apartment to which he led his guest stood a large safe. Philip opened it. Within were a number of books and documents, but i: a large compartment at the lttoni stood a peculiar object for such a repository au ordinary leather portmanteau. He lifted it on to a couch j and took a key from a drawer In the safe. "T):w i one of my treasures which J-ou have never seen," he said, with a sorrowful smile. "It has not been in the light for many years." He revealed to his friends wondering eyes the tattered suit, the slipshod boots, the ragged shirt and cap, the rusty doorkey, associated with that wonderful month of March of a decade earlier. He reverently unfolded some of hU mother's garments, and his eyes were misty as he surveyed them. But from the pocket of tha portmanteau he produced a packet of soiled letters. One by one he read them aloud, though he winced at the remembrance of the agony his mother must have endured as she experienced each rebuff from Lady Morland and her husband's solicitors. Yet he persevered to the end. "I wauted a model for a brief communication to Messrs. Sharpe Ac Smith," he said bitterly. "1 think the general purport of their correspondence will serve my needs admirably." As he closed the Gladstone bag his stern mood vanished. "Do you know," he said, "that this odd looking portmanteau, always locked and always reposing in a safe, has puzzled my valets considerably? One man got it out and tried to open it. I caught bini In tl-e act. I honestly believe both he and the others were tinder the impression that I kept my diamonds in it." "Fy the way, that reminds me of a request from Isaacsteiu. As all the smaller diamonds have now been disposed of and there remain only the large stones, he thinks that some of them might be cut into sections. They are unmarketable at present." "Very well. Let us appoint a day next week and overhaul the entire collectiou. 1 intend to keep the big ones to form the center ornaments of a tiara, a necklace and gewgaws of that sort." "I am glad to hear it." "My dear fellow, I suppose there will fjbon Mrs. Anson Borne day, but I have not found her yet. "Whoe'er she be. That not impossible she. That shall command my heart and me." And a ripple of laughter chased lait shadows from his face. j away tU j CHAPTER XIV. ABIXGDON took his de M": parture at an early hour. His excellent wife was indisposed, and her age rendered him anxious. l'hilip wrote a curt letter to Sharpe & Smith. He hr.d given thought to their statements, he said, and wished to hold no further communication with i -either Sir Philip Morland or his representatives. Then he ordered his private hansom, intending to visit the Universities' club. It was a fine evening, one of tboe rare nights when blase London abandons herself for an hour to the delights of spring. The tops of omnibuses passing through Park lane were enlivened by muslin dresses and flower covered hats. Men who passed In hansoms wore evening dress without an overcoat. Old earth was growing again, and if weather wise folk predicted that such an unusually high temperature meant thunderstorms and showers it would indeed be a poor heart that did not rejoice in the influences of the moment. Two powdered and noiseless footmen threw open the door as rhlllp appear ed In the hall. He stood for a little while In the entrance buttoning his gloves. A strong electric light he loved light fell on him and revealed his firm face and splendidly proportioned frame. He cast a critical eye on a sleek horse in the shafts and smiled pleasantly at the driver. "Good gracious. Wale," he said, "your cattle are becoming as fat as yourself!" "All your fault, sir." was the cheerful reply. "You don't nse 'em 'arf enough." "I can't pass my time In being driven about town to reduce the weight of my coachman and horses. Wale, if you don't do something desperate there will be an 'h after the V In your name." He sprang into the vehicle. , With a lively "Kim up!" Wale got his stout steed Into a remarkably fast trot. A tall man who had been loitering and smoking beneath the trees across the road for a long time sauntered toward a tradesman's cart which was standing near the area gate of the next house while the man In charge gossiped with a kltchenmald. "Beg pardon!" he said to the couple. '33 that Mr. ' Phillo Anson's place T

"Thanks: It does one good to see a young c hap like him so jolly and com- , fortable and provided with everything j he can want in the world, eh?" ! "I wish I 'ad a bit of 'is little lot." ' ; sighed the greengrocer's assistant, with a side glance at the maid. The strauuer laughed harshly. 'It's haul to say when ye' re well tff." he growled. "I"p oue day and down the other. You never know your luck." Away he went southward. His long vigil on the pavement near the railings seemed to have ended. In Piccadilly he took an omnibus to the Circus and there changed to auother for the Klopliiiut and Castle. He walked rapidly through the congeries of mean streets which lie to the east of that bustling -euter and paused at last before a house which was occupied by respectable people, judging by the clean'' curtains and general air of tidiness He knocked. A woman appeared. Did Mrs. Mason live there? No. She knew nothing of her. Had only been 1u the place eighteen months. The man evidently appreciated the migratory habits of the poor too well to dream of prosecuting further inquiries among the neighbors, lie strolled about, reading the names over the small shops, the corner public house, the dressmakers' 6emiprivate residences. At last he paused before a somewhat grim establishment an undertaker's office, lie entered. A youth was whistling the latest music hall song. 'Io you know anything of a Mrs. Mason who used to live in this locality about ten years ago':" he asked. "Mrs. Mason? There may be forty Mrs. Masons. What was her Christian name an' address?" "Mrs. Hannah Mason, 14 Frederick street" The youth skillfully tilted back his tttool uutil he reached a ledger from a shelf behind him. He ran his eye down an Index, fouud a number aud yt lled out another book. "We buried her on the 20th of November, uiue years since," he said coolly, rattling both tomes back into their places. "You did, eh? Is there anybody here who remembers her?" Something in the husky voice of this stark, ill favored man caused the boy l to become less pert. "Father's In," he said. "I'll ring for him." Father came. He had a vague memory of the woman, a widow with two children boys, he thought. Somebody helped her in her last days and paid for the funeral paid cush, according to the ledger. He did not know who the friend was nor had he any knowl edge of the children's fate. Workhouse, most probably. What workhouse? Parish of South wnrk. Easy to tind. Just turn so-and-so, and so-aud-to. With a grunt of acknowledgment the inquirer passed Into the street. He gave an eye to the public house, but resolutely quickened his pace. At the workhouse he eueeeeded, with some difficulty, in interviewing the master. If was after office hours, but as he hadJourneyed a long way an exception would be made in his case. Books were consulted to ascertain the fate of two boys, John and William Mason, who would now be aged twenty and eighteen respectively. Youthful Masons had certainly been in the schools one was there at the moment. j in fact but nono of them answered to ! the description supplied. The work- ; house master was sorry. The records gave no clew. Again the man sought the dark seclusion of the street. He wandered Flowly toward a main thoroughfare and entered the first public house he encountered. He ordered 6 pennyworth of brandy and drank It at a gulp. Then he lit a pipe and went forth again. "That was an ugly lookln' customer," Baid an habitue to the barman. " 'E 'ad a flee like a fifth act at the Surrey." agreed the other. If they knew the toast that Jocky Mason had pledged ao readily, they would have better grasped the truth of this unfavorable diagnosis of his character. "Ten years' ienal servitude, four years' police supervision, my wife dead and my children lost, all through a smack on the head given me by Philip Anson," he communed. "Here's to getting even with him!" It was a strange outcome of his long imprisonment that the man should have acquired a fair degree of culture. He was compelled to learn In jail to a certain extent, and reading soon became a pleasure to him. Moreover, he picked up an acquaintance with a smooth spoken mate of the swell mobsman and long firm order a dandy who strove to be elegant even in convict garb. Mason's great strength and in- ( domitable courage appealed to the i more artistic if more effeminate rogue. Once the big man saved his comrade's life when they were at work in the quarries. The influence was mutual. They vowed lasting friendship. Victor Grenier was released six months before Mason, and the latter now crossed the river again to go to an address where he wonld probably receive some news of his professed ally's whereabouts. Greniers name was imparted under Inviolable confidence as that which he would adopt after his release. His real name, by which he was convicted, was something far less aristocratic , Philip's driver, being of the peculiar type of Londoner which seems to be created t orcuox the Cicky of a han-

lorn, did not tatfe ois master aowo Park lane, along Piccadilly, and so to rail Mall, lie loved corner. Give him the remotest chance of following a zigzag course and be would follow It in preference to a route with all the directness of a Roman road. Thus It happened as he spun round Carlos place Into Berkeley square he nearly collided with another vehicle which dashed into the square from Davits street. Both horses pulled up with a jerk, there was a sharp fusillade of what cabmen call "laugwidge." and the other hansom drove on. having the best of the strategical position Ly a stoieu yard. Philip lifted the tra-Kloor -Has he a fare, Wak?" "Yes, sir, a lydy." 4-Oh. leave him alone then! Otherwise 1 would hare liked to see yoi ride him off at the corner of Brutou

Btreet." Wale, who was choleric, replied with such force that l'hilip tried to say sternly: Stop that swearing. Wale." -'Beg pardon, sir, I'm sure, hut I wouldn't ha minded If it wasn't my own old kcb. Didn't you spot it?' 'You don't tell tne so. How odd!" "And to think of a brewer's drayman like thnt gettin' 'old of it. Well" Wale put the lid on in cae his employer might bear any more of his sentiments. l'hilip, leaning back to lauh, for Wale's vocabulary was amusing if not tit for publication, suddenly realized the queer trick that even the eveuti in the lue of au individual have of repeating themselves. In one day, after an Interval of ma ay years, he had leen suddenly confronted by personages connected with the period of his sufferings, with the very garments be wore at that time, with the cab in which he drove from Clerkenwell to Hatton Garden. Abingdon had dined with him; Isascsteln had sent him a message; his driver even was the cabman who made him a present of 2 shillings, a most fortunate transaction for Wale, as it led to his selection to look after Philip's London stable. All who had befriended the forlorn boy In those early days had benefited to an extraordinary degree. The coffee stall keeper who gave him coffee grounds and crusts, the old clothes man who cut down the price of his first outfit, Mrs. Wrlgley. going hopelessly to her toil hi a Shepherd's Bush laundry; Mr. Wilson of Grant & Sous, the kindly Jeweler of Ludgate Hill, were each sought out and either placed in a good business or bounteously rewarded for the services they had rendered. O'Brien, of course, was found a sinecure office at the Mary Anson home. As for the doctor, he owed his Harley street practice to the millionaire's help and patronage. It Is worthy of note that rhlllp never wore a watch other than that presented to him by the police of the Whitechapel division. It was an ordinary English silver lever, and he carried It attached to a knotted bootlace. Did he but know how far the historical parallel had gone that day how Jocky Mason had waited for hours outside bl residence In the hope of seeing him anil becoming acquainted with his appearance be might hare been surprised, but he would never have guessed the evil that this man would accomplish, and In some measure accomplish unconsciously. ' He was not In his club five minutes when a friend tackled him for a concert subscription. "Anson, you are fond of music. Here is a new violinist, a Hungarian, who wants a start. I heard him In Budalest last autumn. He Is a good chap. Take some stalls." Tliiiip glanced at the programme. "Eckstein at the piano, I see. He muKt be a star. Who Is the soprano? I have never heard her name before." "Miss Evelyn Atherley," read his friend over his shoulder. "I don't know ter myself. Dine with mo here tomorrow night. We will go and hear the performance afterward." "Can yon distribute stalls among your acquaintances?" "My dear fellow, I will be dellnhted. Sorry I can't help Jowkacsy a bit myself." "You are helping him very well. I will take a dozen, two for you and me. ten elsewhere for the claque." . "Yon are a good chap. Hello, there's Jones! Jones is good for a couple. Don't forget tomorrow night." And the good natured enthusiast, who was a terror to many of bis friends, ran off to secure another victim. Thillp bad pent fcls hansom borne. Shortly before 11 he quitted the club, intending to walk to Park lane by a circuitous route long enough to consume a big cigar. . ' He chanced to pass the hall in which the concert was to take place. A few people were hurrying from the stage door. Evidently a rehearsal had Jnst taken place. A short man with a huge cluster of flowing locks that offered abundant proof of his musical genius ran out with a violin cae In his band. He was alout to enter a hansom waiting near the curb, but the driver said: "Engaged, sir." The man did not wetn to understand, so the cabby barred bis way with the whip and shook bis head. Then the stranger rushed to a neighljrlng a? rank evidently an excitable gentleman, with the high strung teuti-era-tnent of art. A lady.quitted the hall a few seconds j later. Are you engaged?" PbUl: heard her ask the cabman. "No, raiss." "Take me to No. 44 Maida Crescent, Regent's park." she said. After arranging her skirts daintily she entered the vfthl"' (Continued.) Vashing That Carpet.
