Full of sym pathy for ihe abuses they claim capital baa forced upon the po o r" people they in rite support for th eir legis- latiou, stating that “ it is to benefit tbe consuming public, of w hich la bor at present is the audible part. But an examination of tbe bill it:. Belt' shows that the brotherhoods bare taken care of themselveB. Under itB terms the G overnm ent will buy the roads from the pres­ ent owners, issuing bonds in pay ment therefor. They will then be operated by the newly created 1Xational Eailways O perating Cor­ poration .’ A fter providing for the payment of operating expenses, maintenance, renewals and sinking funds, the measure designates w hat remains as ‘net earnings.’ One half of the net earnings are to be paid into the Treasury, in other words will be given to the people. The other half will be paid to the employees themselves in the form of dividends , in the proportion which each individual’s compen­ sation bears to tne total compensa­ tion. “In plain English th a t means that tbe railroad employees will teke the money of all th e people ont of the Treasury and buy the. roads. A fter th at is done they propose to give.100,009,000 people halt ot the profits of operation. 5.000.000 people will keep the oth­ er half, assum ing th a t there are 1.000.000 employees and' th a t each Tepresenis a fam ily of 5. In other words each mem ber of the brother hoods will receive in profits 20 times more than any other citizen and in addition will get bis Share as a member of the total popula­ tion. “After confi«cating the roads without a cent of expenditure on their part, except as they form about five per cent of all who con tribute taxes to the Treasury, these economic highw aym en pro­ pose to give each of their member ship 20 times as large a share-, of the profits as any other person will be perm itted to receive^ T hat is what the bo called Plum b plan, reduced to its lowest term s, means, and a veiled threat is. held over the country that unlesB theuT ’de- ffiande are complied w ith by Con- ' gresB the railroad employees will effete a complete tie up of our transportation systems w ith its a t­ tendee! paralysis of the N ation.' “Those men are not going volun­ tarily to substitute riot, hunger and bloodshed in order to enforce their desires.

W ithout governm ent we have anarchy and it is the duty of citizens to Btudy this science. Two great schools of thought have ruled the world, viz: The rule of th e p e o p le and the rule of kingB. This Republic iu theory is a' rule of th e people and the old world a s . a rule is a rule by kings. There can be no co-operation between, the" two sys temB.

A wedding of Interest to friends over the State was solemnized in the -Metho­ dist church of Cooleeroee Thursday 'after­ noon at fouro’cluck when Miss Mabel Gra­ ham Kurfees became the bride of Mt. El- lerbe Wilson Griffin, of Gastonia, the cere­ mony being performed by Rev. N. W. Richardson, of Cooleemee. The church was decorated in white and green: a nrofusion of flowering clematis, evergreens and potted plants were used, giving the effect of a natural woodland scene.Preceding the ceremony an instrumen­ tal program, consisting of. Melody in F. Schubert’s Serenade. Barcarole from •‘Tales of Hoffman." Traumerei and Chop in’s Prelude was given by Mrs. Robert G. Eiizgerald, of Belmont, who during the ceremony rendered very .beautifully Men­ delssohn's "'Song Without Words.” To the strains of Mendelssohn’s Wed­ ding March the bridal party entered un­ der vine-covered arches m the following order: Ushers, Messrs. Raymond Smith and Lawrence Zachary, of Cooleemee; bridesmaids. Misses Mae Belle Cobb, of Fremont and Qertie Smith of Cooleemee, wearing dresses of pink and white organ­ die with picture bats and carrying bask­ ets of pink and white asters. These were followed by the groomsmen, Messrs. Price Lineberger and W. A; McGinnas, of Gas­ tonia." As they took their places by the cbancel. the maid of honor. Miss Florence Dickson, of Raelord, entered. She was dressed in white organdie with picture hat and carried pink gladioli. Next entered the ring bearers, little Misses Eleanor Kurfees, cousin of the bride and Leftie Margaret Zachary, dressed in white organdie and carrying rings on pillows.of white uncut velvet. Afterthem came the dame of honor, Mrs. EImer Jones of Elkin, sister of the bride. ' Sh^ was gowned in pink georgette, with picture bat and carried pink Killarney roses. The bride came in on the arm of her father, and was met at the alter by the groom who 'entered from the vestry with his best man, Mr. Ben E. Douglas, of Gastonia. The vows were taken at the altar over, which was suspended a large lover’s knot. The double ring ceremony was used. _ The bride was handsomely gowned in ivory satin, en train, trimmed in silk lace and pearl3, with veil which was caught with a wreath of lillies of the valley. She car­ ried a shower of brides’ roses and swain- sonia. The wedding party left the church to Lohengrin's Recessional and went at once to the home of the bride's parents where a reception was given. Immediately afterward the bride and groom accompanied by the party motored to Salisbury. From there the couple left for Western North Carolina. The bride is a daughter of Mr and Mrs. Rufus Walter Kurfees, of Cooleemee. She was educated at Greensboro • College for; Women and has taught in the public schools of the State for the past few years. She is a direct descendant cf John Knox, from whom she has inherited many sterling qualities. She has beauty.' charm and vivacity of manner combined with a sunny disposition which make friends for her wherever she is known. • The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. M. W- Griffin, of Marshville The family is one of the oldest in that section anjl is prominently connected. Mr. Griffin is at present living in Gastonia, where he is connected with the Morrow Drug Com­ pany. Heisayoung man of excellent business ability and of a strength of char­ acter which have won great popularity for him. Mr; and Mrs. Griffin received many use­ ful and lovely gifts from their hosts of friends They will make their home after Sep­ tember the fifteenth at Gastonia.. During the past week a number of so­ cial attentions have been sbown the bride-elect. On Tuesday afternoon of last week Miss Jane Dula and Mrs._ John Ta­ tum gave Miss Kurfees a miscelaneous shower. She received quite a number of gifts. Mrs. Elmer Jones, sister of the bride- elect. entertained at-an informal party on Tuesday afternoon. An interesting feat­ ure of the program was the cutting of the bride's cake. Miss Mae Belle Cobb cut the ring thus securing the -satisfaction of knowing that a husband awaits her in the future. Miss Merrie Richardson found the dime, thereby knowing that not only would she have a husband but a wealthy one at that. Luckily, the thimble, sym­ bol of spinsterhood, remained untouched in its place, giving the other cutters at least hope for their future state. “W. S. s.» J A. Craven who has accepted a position with G. G. W alker as sales­ man, will move his family from Cooleemee to Mocksville. They will occupy the G aither house next to the court house. Dr. E. M.

Washington.—Industrial peace in the United States depends on the re­ sults the government can show iri the next 90 days in its campaign to re­ duce the cost of living. . That time limit was tac’tly set by the executive council of the railroad shop crafts in- suggesting to local3 throughout the country thai President Wilaou’s compromise offer in response to ' their demand for higher wages should be accepted pending the out­ come of the effort to restore a normal price rlevel. , -If the cost of . living does not come down, the 500,000‘members "of the shop craft would reserve the right to strike for more money, and with them probably would be associated the re- mairider of the; 2,500,000 railroad em­ ployes;: all of whom have been con­ sidering the same problem. .The. letter of the-- executive ‘coun- •il served to compose- somewhat the uneasiness felt in official circles over the., immediate labor situation and to focus "attention on the legal meas-- ures being directed by Attoimey Gpn-. eral Palmer and his assistant.

Synopsls--MaJor Amberson had made a fortune In 1873 when other people were losing fortunes, and the magniflfcence. of the Ambersons began then. MaJoi Amberson laid out a 200-acre "development," with roads and statuary, and In the center of a four-acre tract, on Amberson avenue, built for himself the most magnificent mansion Midland City had ever seen. When the major s daughter married young Wilbur Minafer the neighbors predicted that as Isabel could never really love Wilbur all her love would be bestowed upon the children. There is only one child, however, George Amberson MInafer, and his upbringing and his youthful accomplishments as a mischief maker are Quite in keeping: with the most pessimistic predictions. CHAPTER II—Continued. —2— “Your 6lster stole it for m e!” George Instantly replied, checking the pony. "She stole It off our cIo’esliDe an’ gave it to me.” “You go. get your hair cut I” said the stranger hotly. “Yah! I haven’t got any sister!” “I know you haven’t a t home,” Georgle responded. "I mean the one that’s In Jail.” "I dare you ^to get down off that pony!” Georgle jumped to the ground, and the other boy descended from the Rev. H r. Smith’s gatepost—but he descend- inside the gate. “I dare you out- Ide that gate,” said Georgle. “Yah! I dare you half way here. I dare you—” But these were luckless challenges; for Georgia immediately vaulted the fence—and four minutes later Mrs. Malloch Smith, hearing strange noises, looked forth from a window; then screamed, and dashed for the pastor’s study. Mr. MaLloch Smith, that grim- bearded preacher, came to the front yard and found his .visiting nephew being rapidly prepared by M aster Min- afer to serve as a principal figure in a pageant of massacre. It was with great physical difficulty that Mr. Smith managed to give his nephew a chance to escape into the house, for Georgle was hard and quick, and in such m atters remarkably intense; but the minister, after a grotesque tussle, got him separated from his opponent and shook him. “You stop that, you!” Georgle cried fiercely, and wrenched himself away. *1 guess you don’t know who I am !” “Yes, I do know!” the angered Mr. Smith retorted. “I know who you are, and you’re a disgrace to your mother! Your mother ought to be ashamed of berself to allow—” “Shut up about my mother bein’ ashamed of. herself!” Mr. Smith, exasperated, was unable to close the dialogue with dignity. “She ought to be ashamed,” he repeat­ ed. “A woman that lets a bad boy like you—” 'B ut' Georgie had reached his pony and mounted. Before setting off at his accustomed gallop he paused to Inter­ rupt the Rev. Malloch Smith again. “You pull down your vest, you ole blllygoat, you!” he shouted, distinctly. “Pull down your vest, wipe off your chin—an’ go to h— I” Such precocity is less unusual, even In children of the Rich, than most grown people Imagine. However, It was a new experience for the Rev. Malloch Smith, and left him in a state of excitement. He at once wrote a note to George’s mother, describing the crime according to his Aephew’s testimony, and the note reached Mrs. M inafer before Georgle did. When he got home she read it to him sorrow­ fully. " Dear Madam: Your son has caused a painful distress In my household. He made an unprovoked attack upon a little nephew of mine who Is visiting In my household, insulted him by calling him vicious names and falsehoods, stating that ladles of "his family were In Jail. He then tried to make his pony kick him, and when the child, who Is only eleven years old, while your son Is much older and stronger, endeavored to avoid^hls Indigni­ties and withdraw quietly, he pursued him into the inclosure of my property and brutally assaulted him. When I appeared upon this scene he deliberately called In­sulting words to me, concluding with pro­ fanity, such as “go to h—," which was heard not only by myself but by my wife and the lady who lives next door. I trust such p state of undisciplined behavior ■nay be remedied for the sake of the rep­ utation for propriety, if nothing higher, of the family to which this unruly child be­longs. Georgie had m attered various Inter­ ruptions, and as she concluded the- reading he said: "He’s an ole liar!” “Georgle, you mustn’t say liar.’ Isn’t this letter the truth?” “Well,” said Georgle, “how old am IT ’ ' “Ten.” “Well, look how he says Tm older than a boy eleven years old.” “That’s true,” said Isabel. “He does. But isn’t some of it true, Georgle?” . ( ' Georgle felt himself to be in a dif­ ficulty here, and he was silent. "George, did you say what he says you did?” “Which one?” 4Tlid you tell him to—to— Did you say, ‘Go to h—?’” Georgle looked worried for a mo­ m ent longer; then he brightened. “Lis­ ten here, mamma; grandpa-'wouldn’t wipe his shoe ,on that ole story teller, would he?” “Georgle, you mustn’t—” “I m ean: none of the Amhersons wouldn’t have anything to -do w ith him, would they? > H e doesn’t even know you, does he, mamma?” “That hasn’t anything to do with i t ” •Yes. it has! I m ean: none of the Amberson family go to see him, and they never have him come in their house; they wouldn’t ask him to, and prob’ly wouldn’t even let him.” “That isn’t w hat we’re talking about’.’ “I bet,” said Georgie emphatically, “I bet if he wanted to see any of ’em, he’d haf to go around to the side door!” “No, dear, they—” “Yes, they would, mamma I So w hat does it m atter if I say somep’m’ to him he didn't like? That kind o’ people, I don’t see why you can’t say anything you w ant to to ’em!” “No, Georgle. And you haven’t an­ swered me whether you said that dreadful thing he says you did” "Well—” said Georgle. “Anyway, he said somep’m’ to me that made me mad.” And upon this point he offered no further details; he would not ex­ plain to his mother that what had made him “mad” was Mr. Smith’s hasty condemnation of herself: “Your m other ought. to be ashamed,” and “A woman that lets a bad boy like you—” Georgie did not even con­ sider excusing himself by quoting these insolences. Isabel stroked his head.' “They were terrible words for you to use, dear. From his letter he doesn’t seem a very tactful person, but—" "He’s just riffraff,” said Georgle. . “You- mustn’t say so,” his mother gently agreed. “W here did you learn those bad words be speaks of? W here did you hear anyone use them?" “Well, I’ve heard ’em serreval places. I guess Uncle George Amber- son was the first I ever heard say ’em. Uncle George Amberson said ’em to papa once. Papa didn’t like It, but Uncle George was just laughin’ at. papa, ah’ then he said ’em while he was laughln.’” “That was wrong of him,” she said, but almost instinctively he detected the lack of conviction in her tone. It was Isabel’s great failing that what­ ever an Amberson did seemed right to her, especially if the Amberson was either her brother George or her son George. "You must promise me,” she said feebly, “never to use those bad words again.” “I promise not to,” he said prompt­ ly—and he whispered an immediate codicil under his breath: "Unless I get mad at somebody!” This satisfied a code according to which, in his own sincere belief, he never told lies. “That’s a good boy,” she said, and he ran out to the yard, his punishment over. As an Amberson he was already a public character, and the story of his adventure In the Rev. Malloch Smith’s front yard became a town topic. Many “Pull Down Your Vest, You Ole Billy- goat.” people glanced at him with great dis­ taste thereafter, when they .chanced to encounter him,- which meant noth­ ing to Georgle, because he Innocently believed most grown people to be nec­ essarily cross looking as a normal phe­ nomenon resulting from the adult state; and he failed to comprehend fhat the distasteful, glances had any personal bearing upon himself; If he had perceived such a bearing he would have: been affected only so far, prob­ ably, us to mutter,. “Riffraff!” Pos­ sibly he would have shouted it; and certainly most people believed a story that went round the town just after Mrs. Amberson’s funeral, when Geor- gie was eleven. Georgie was reported to have differed with the undertaker about the seating of the fam ily; his indignant voice had become audible: “Well, who is the most im portant per­ son at my own grandmother’s fu­ neral?” And lpter he had projected his head from the window of the fore­ most mourners’ carriage, as the under­ taker happened to pass. "Riffraff!” There were people—grown people they were—who expressed themselves longingly: they did hope to live to see the day, they said, when that boy would get his come-upance! (They used that honest word, so much bet­ ter than "deserts,” and not until many years later to be more clumsily ren­ dered as “what is coming to him.”) Something was bound to take him down some dny, and they only wanted to be there! But Georgie heard noth­ ing of this, and the yearners for.bis taking down went unsatisfied, while their yearning grew the greater as the happy day of fulfillment was longer and longer postponed. CHAPTER 111. Until he reached the age of twelve Georgie’s education was a domestic process; tutors came to the house, and those citizens who yenrned for his taking down often snid: “Ju st w ait till he has to go to public school; then he’ll get it!” But a t twelve Gedrgie was sent to a private school in the town, and there came from this small and independent institution no report, or even rumor, of Georgie’s getting anything that he was thought to de­ serve; therefore the yearning still per­ sisted, though growing , gaunt with feeding upon itself.-. The yearners were still yearning when Georgle a t sixteen was sent away to a great “prep school.” “Now,” they said brightly, “he’ll get It h He’ll find himself among boys just as important in their home town as he is, and they’ll knock the stuffing out of him when he puts on his airs with them I . Oh, but that would be worth something to see!” They were mis­ taken, It appeared, for when Georgie returned a few months later he still seemed to have the same stuffing. H e had been deported by the authorities, the offense being stated as “insolence and profanity;” Jn fact, he had given the principal of the school instruc­ tions almost Identical with those for­ merly objected to by the Rev. Malloch Smith. . ~ ' But he had not got his come-upance, and those who counted upon it were embittered by his appearance upon the. downtown streets driving a dog­ cart at a criminal speed, making pe­ destrians retreat from the crossings, and behaving himself as if he “owned the earth.” When Mr. George Amberson Mina- fer came home for the holidays at ChristmastIcle in his sophomore year, probably no great.change had taken place inside him, but his exterior was visibly altered. Nothing about him encouraged any hope that he had re­ ceived his come-upance; on the con­ trary, the yearners for that stroke of justice m ust yearn even more Itch- ingly: the gilded youth’s m anner had become polite, but his politeness was of a kind which democratic people found hard to bear. Cards were out for a ball In his honor, and this pageant of the ten­ antry was held In the ballroom of the Amberson mansion the night after his arrival. It was, as Mrs. Henry Frank­ lin Foster said of Isabel’s wedding, “a big Amberson-style thing.” All “old citizens” recognized as gentry received cards, and of course so did their danc­ ing descendants. The orchestra and the caterer were brought from away, in the Amberson manner, though this was really a ges­ ture—perhaps one more of habit than of ostentation—for servitors of gayety as proficient as these importations were nowadays to be found in the town. It was the last of the great, long-remembered dances that “every­ body talked about”—there were get­ ting to be so many people in town that no Inter than the next year there were too'many for “everybody” to heat of even such a ball as the Ambersons’. George, white-gloved, with a garde­ nia in his buttonhole, stood with his mother and the Major, embowered in the big red-and-gold drawing room downstairs, to “receive” the guests; and, standing thus together, the trio offered a picturesque example of good looks persistent through three gene-, rations. The Major, his daughter and his grandson were of a type all Am- berson: tall, straight and regular, with dark eyes, short noses, good chins; and the grandfather’s expression, no less than- the grandson’s, was one of faintly atnused condescension. There was a difference, however. The grand­ son^ unlined young face^ad nothing to offer except this condescension; the grandfather’s had other things to say. It was a handsome, worldly old face,' conscious of Its importance, but persuasive rather than arrogant, and not without tokens of sufferings with­ stood. The M ajor’s short white hair was parted in the middle, like his grandson’s, and In all he stood as briskly equipped to the fashion as the exquisite young George. .Isabel, standing between her father and her son, caused a vague amaze­ ment In the mind of the latter. H er age, just under forty, was for George a thought of something as remote as the moons of Ju p iter: he could not possibly have conceived such an age ever coming to be his own: five years was the lim it of his. thinking In time. Five years ago he had been a child not yet-fourteen; and those five years were an abyss. Five years hence he would be almost twenty-four; what the girls he knew called “one of the older men.” H e could imagine himself at twenty-four, but beyond th at his powers staggered and refused the task. H e saw little essential differ­ ence between thirty-eight and eighty- eight, and his m other was to him not a woman • but wholly a mother. The woman, Isabel, was a stranger to her son; as completely a stranger as If he had never in his life seen her or heard her voice. And it was tonight while he stood with her, “receiving,” ,that he caught a disquieting glimpse of this stranger whom he thus fleet- IngIy encountered for the first time. Youth cannot imagine romance apart from yonth. T hat Is why the roles of the heroes and heroines of plays are given by the managers to the m ost youthful actors they* can find among the competent. Both middle- aged people and young people enjqy a play about young lovers; but only middle-aged people will tolerate a play about middle-aged lovers; young people will not come to see such a play, because for them middle-aged lovers are a joke—not a very funny one. Therefore, to bring both the middle-aged people and the young people into his house the m anager makes his romance as young as he con. Youth will indeed be served, and its profound instinct is to be not only scornfully amused but vaguely an­ gered by middle-aged romance. So; standing beside his mother, George was disturbed by a sudden impression, coming upon-him out-of now here.so far as he could detect, that her eyes were brilliant, that she was graceful and youthful—in a word that she was rom antically lovely. H ehadoneof those curious moments th at seem to have neither a cause nor any "connection with actual things. There was nothing in either her looks or her m anner to explain George’s un­ comfortable feeling; and yet it in­ creased, • becoming suddenly a vague resentm ent,-as If she had done some­ thing unmotherly to him. . The fantastic moment passed; and even while it lasted he was doing his duty, greeting two pretty girls with whom he had growli up, as people say, and warmly assuring them th at he re­ membered them very well—an assur­ ance which might have surprised them “in anybody but Georgle M inafer!” It seemed unnecessary, since he had spent many hours w ith them no longer than the preceding August. They had with them their parents and an uncle from out of tow n; and George negli­ gently gave the parents the same as­ surance he had given the daughters, but murmured another form of greet­ ing, to the out-of-town uncle, whom he had never seen before. This per­ son George absently took note of as a “queer-looking duck.” Undergradu­ ates had not yet adopted “bird.” It was a nerlodjgrevlous to that in which a sophomoifi^vbuld have • thought of the Sharon girls’ uncle as a “queer- looking bird,” or, perhaps, a “funny- faceblrd.” In George's time' every hu­ m an male was to be defined a t pleas­ ure as a “duck;” but “duck” was not spoken with admiring affection, as in its form er feminine use to signify a “dear”—on the contrary, “duck” Im­ plied the speaker’s personal detach­ ment and humorous superiority. An indifferent amusement was ' what George felt when his mother, with a gentle emphasis, Interrupted his in­ terchange of courtesies with the nieces to present him to the queer- looking duck, their uncle. This em­ phasis of Isabel’s, though slight, en­ abled George to perceive th at she con­ sidered the queer-looking duck a per­ son of some importance; but it was far from enabling him to understand, why. The duck parted his thick and longish black hair on the side; his tie was a forgetful-looking thing, and his coat, though it fitted a good- enough middle-aged figufe, no product of this year, or of last year either. Observing only his unfashionable hair, his preoccupied tie and his old coat, the Olympic fcfeorge set him down as a queer-looking duck, and having thus completed his portrait took no Inter­ est In him. The Sharon girls passed on, taking Gie queer-looking duck with them, and George became pink WithN mortifica­ tion as his m other called his attention to a white-bearded guest Watting to shake his hand. This was George’s great-unde, old John M inafer: it was old John’s boast thpt In spite of his X X X connection by m arriage with the Am­ bersons he never had worn and never would w ear a swaller-tail coat. Mem­ bers of his family had exerted their influence --uselessly — a t eighty-nine conservative people' seldom form rad­ ical new habits, and old John wore his “Sunday suit” of black broadcloth to the Amberson ball. The coat was square, with skirts to the knees; old John called it, a “Prince Albert” and was well enough pleased with it, but his great-nephew considered it • the next thing to an insult. The large room bad-filled, and so had the broad hall and the rooms ,on the other side of the hall, where th^re were tables for w hist The imported orchestra waited in the ballroom on the third floor, but a local .harp, ’cello, violin and* flute were playing airs from “The Fencing M aster” in the hall, and people w ere shouting over the music. Old John Minaferis voice was louder and more penetrating than any other, because he had been troubled with deafness for twenty-five years, heard his own voice but faintly, and IlkedJo hear it. “Smell o’ flowers like this al-, ways puts me in mind o’ funerals,” he kept telling his niece, Fanny ; Minnfer, who was with him ; and he seemed to get a great deal of satisfaction out of this reminder. H is trem ulous yet stri­ dent voice cut through the voluminous sound th at filled the room, and be was heard everywhere. PreseUtly George’s mortification was increased to hear this sawmill droning harshly -from the m idst of the thick­ ening crow d: “Ain’t the dancin- broke out yet, Fanny^ Hoopla! Le’s push through and go see the young women folks crack their heels! Start the cir­ cus ! Hoopsey-daisy!” Miss Fanny Minafer, in charge of the lively vet­ eran, was almost as distressed as her nephew George, but she did her duty nnd managed to get old John through the press 'and out to the broad stair­ way, which numbers of young people were now ascending to the ballroom. George began to recover from the deg­ radation into which this relic of early settler days had dragged him. W hat restore?! him completely, was a dark­ eyed little beauty of Nineteen, very knowing In lustrous blue and je t; at sight of this dashing advent in the line of guests before him George w as fully an Am berson. again. “Remember you very well indeed!” he said, his graciousness more earnest than any he had heretofore displayed. Isabel heard him and laughed. “B ut you don’t, George!” she said. “You don’t remember .her yet,'though of course you will! Miss Morgan is from out of town, and Tm afraid this is the first tim e you’ve ever seen her. You might take her up to the dancing; I think you’ve pretty well done your duty here.” “Be Alighted,” George responded formally, and offered his arm, not w ith a flourish, certainly, but with an impressiveness inspired partly by the appearance of the person to whom he offered it, partly by his being the hero of this fete, and partiy by his youth­ fulness—-for when m anners are new they are apt to be elaborate. The little beauty-intrusted her gloved fin­ gers to his coatsleeve, and they moved away together. As he 'conducted M iss Morgan through the hall tow ard the stairw ay they passed the open, double doors of a cardroom, where some squadrons-of older people were preparing for ac­ tion, and, leaning gracefully upon the m antelpiece of this room, a tall man, handsome, high-mannered and spar- klingly point-device, held laughing converse wjtli th at queer-looking duck, the Sharon girls’ uncle. The tall gen­ tlem an waved a gracious salutation to George, and Miss Morgan’s curiosity was stirred. “ Who Is. that?” ' “I didn’t catch his name when- my m other presented him to me,” said George. “You mean the queer-jooking duck.” “I mean the aristocratic duck.” "That’s my Uncle George. Honor­ able George Amberson. I thought ev­ erybody knew him.” "He looks as though everybody ought to know him,” she said. “It seems to run in your family." If she had any sly intention it skipped over George harmlessly. “Well, of course, I suppose m ost ev­ erybody does,” he admitted—“out in this part of the country especially. Besides Uncle George Is In congress; the family like to have someone there.” “T p y r “Well, It’s sort of a good thing in one way. For instance, Uncle Sydney Amberson and his wife, Aunt Amelia, they haven’t much of anything to do with themselves—get bored to death' around here, of course.. Well, prob­ ably Uncle ;George’ll have Uncle'Syd­ ney appointed ininister or ambassador or something like that, to Russia or Italy or somewhere, and that’ll make- it pleasant -when any of the rest of the family go traveling, or things like that.

Good night, George.” George murmured a friendly enough good night without pausing.

There he hitched the 28 dogs to 14 light sleds that the soldiers loaded with ammunition. Back over the for- 1 ■ bidding trail they went, under artil­ lery fire/ and facing a bitter wind. On- the fifth day at sunrise the panting- - dogs reached the' outpost. Their bur­ den of ammunition was immediately, rushed to the gunners and the moun­ tain was saved. ... .. ■ .

There are more claims of descent from William the Conqueror than from any monarch In the world, and in most <ases a descendant of this king comes ■down a line of 15 or 20 other royal personages, although sometimes the descent from monarch to plain, un­ titled yeoman seems to have been ac­ complished In two or three genera­ tions. There Is practically no limit to Ills descendants today and one geneal­ ogist says this fact is accounted for by the statement that, according to the regular proportion of increase in each generation since his time, the descend­ ants of William the Conqueror would alow number more than twice the pres­ ent population of the British isles, So, of course.

(Prepared by the United States Depart .. ment of Agriculture.) Four species of lice are commonly found on turkeys In this country. One of tliese, which occurs particularly on turkeys associated with chickens,- 1s the common body louse of chickens. This species is not" found , in great numbers on turkeys, but If, sometimes becomes sufficiently abundant to cause considerable irritation and doubtless is injurious both to the grown fowls and to the young. The shaft louse of chickens also has been found' on tur­ keys, but probably 'does not breed on that host The other two species seem to be native to the turkey, prob­ ably existing on this fowl in the wild stated The large turkey louse prob­ ably is most abundant It occurs on the feathers on various parts of the body,' especially on the neck and breast The slender turkey louse is a species of good size, though rather elongate, resembling in shape the head-louse of chickens. Normally neither of these species is excessively abundant, but on crippled or unthrifty turkeys they may cause serious annoy­ ance and undoubtedly they are injuri­ ous to poults.

I t is t h e same Ioilay as in the time of the first ope. The beat way to accomplish Ibis is through political power, Ibrough religious education and ierWce. God has doubly blest Ihe Catholic Church of ,America by placing one of its most faithful oiis at the right hand of President Filson. Next to the President, Ion. Joseph Tumulty, Knight of olnmbns, thirty third degree, trields the greatest political power $1 any man in America and as a irie Catholic he is exercising the great trust which God has given nto his hands for the glory of the ^olycburch. Through his tract nd holy zeal he has creatcd a warm 'rieudship betweeu the Catholic hurch and President Wilson, to. ;ether with the Demooratic party, pthcr. presidents have feared the ower of the holy church and have burted its support, politically, by anting it childish favors, which Iecoired no one. But this is the st time in the history of the bnutry when the President and A ieat political party have openly Jiught an equal and honest alliance Iith the Catholic Church. And pfore seeking this political allian- tbe President and his party hrc shown their good faith by heir works. |Through the efforts of Sec. eph Tumulty, President Wilson Ss practically granted that educa |on in the Pbillipines shall be pder the. control of the Catholic purcb; and that religions activ- ' in the great American Army |&!1 be ander the direction pf the sights of Columbus.

He de dared that the effect of the neces sities of life, make the rich richer, and tbe poor poorer, bulid up trusts and monopolies; all the old free trade stuff. Evidently Mr. Kitchin overlooked the fact that we have had his kind of a tarifl law on the statute books for five years. Has it solved, according to promise, the high cost of living problem! Has it wiped out the plutocrats? More millionaires have been created under it, ,by specula tive ratner than productive oper­ ations, too, than had been develop ed during the entire previous his­ tory of the nation. Has it remov. ed from the people’s baok9 the bur- den of federal taxation? Kitchin’s Ways and Means committee levied more taxes than had been imposed on them in all the nation’s prev­ ious history. How ludicrous to­ day a Democratic tariff and a cost of living from two to three times as high a9 in the days of the “damnable Payne Aldrich tariff law.” We have more profiteering more nnjnst exploitation of the public, than ever before was known in American history. The Btates men who now predetrates the old bunk about U e tariff being the mother of trusts and profiteers be long in the same class with Brotb er Jordan, who declared: “The sun do move.” By repeating it now he proves that he never be­ lieved it himself, that in its utter, ance-he was merely demagogical and insincere.—National Repub­ lican. specially, r Habitnal Ibae3-L or deferrfld *orompt |'ipatia.7i?nic',^ xativefor 1 1w t-l relieves promptly nn “•-erpfcu rcgclatIy for 14 to-21 days 1^ t vaP 0n- !t Stium tetes^ JCiy Plessapt to TakewwfHfe Food Yield From Tomatoes. Concord Tribune. > For five consecutive seasons Jes- sie Wooddel. of Arland county, Arkansas, has been in the club work organized by the United States department of agriculture and the State College. She was 13 when she started the wor,k in 1915. That year she gathered 2 ,-~ 400 Douads of tomatoes from her pne tenth acre. Nearly all were sold fresh, but some- oi them, can ned, won a prize for., her at the county contest. The - next year the, tenth acre bore 3,240 pounds. She filled and sold 200 three pound cans and disposed of the rest while they were fresh. Again a prize was won with her canner products. The year 1917 wa3 ideal in Aikan - sias for tomatoes, and this club. . P member harvested 4,276 pounds from her garden, which brought her a profit of $151.85.... A t the county fair that fall her canned products won a $25 prize. The season of 1918 was very dry and the yield was only 3,500 -pounds, but prices were higher than be fore and her profit from the tenth acre was $211 20. A t the Arksan- sas State fair last year, an exhibit of her canning work won the first prize, a scholarship in an agricul­ tural school. This prize, with the money she had made in the orther years of club work, makes real a cherished dream of higher- educat ion for this honie c^nnei who per­ sisted. ksF i f e N . t Now Up ,to Josephus.

Dance Described, We looked in upon the dance at Lumina (at Wriglftsville Beach,) given “complimentary” to the P r e s s A sso c ia tio n . No “ im modest” dancing is allowed there, we understand, but when an 18 year old youth rests bis cheek a gainst tfiat of an equally youthful partner presses her breast against his interweaves his legs back and forth between bers and vice versa —well that kind of dancing is ,Just as much a “compliment” as'the Democratdesiresof the kind. But, mind you, there were couples upon the floor that danced more dfecently and also more gracefully. It seemed to be a case, of choose your own style of hug,' and there were all degrees after a hand lightly laid dpon the back with tbe young lady’s face and body several inches from those, of her partner to the style described above, with an oc casional extra touch to that. But how does a. mother know what styleherdaughteror her daugh­ ter's partner will prefer? Some, body’s daughters certainly choose, or allowed the closer embrace. But maybe flesh and blood are not heirs to the old passions; yet some­ how we think they are.—0 . J. Pe­ terson in Clinton Democrat. An Age of Nakedness. Looking at these show pictures- around town, half naked and more so,, I wondered if the town would letpeopleactsoaround town. If not, why not. The only difference is, it would be free on the streeets, in the show you pay to^see it. In the beginning, when the devil iooled Adam and Eve and - they learned good anil evil, they be­ came ashamed of themselves and put ou clothes and hid their nak­ edness. Now the devil’s work is to take Bense from folks, and, as he does, they are uot ashamed to go half dressed or naked, and to show their nakedness. But such is life no, death.—HickoryTimes-Mer- cury. Just What She Needed. 'Iused a bottle of Chamberlain's Tab­ lets some time ago and they proved to be just what I needed.” writes Mrs. Volta Bankson, Chillicothe.

"Roberts, Successful Catde Deaier Gains 16 Pouuds in 60 Days Taking Tanlac. “One of the best doctors in Colo­ rado advised me to take Tanlac. and it has not. only overcome my trou­ bles but I have gained sixteen pounds since I began taking it sixty daos ago,” said A. F, Roberts, who lives at Rocky Ford, Alberta, Can­ ada, a few days ago. Mr. Roberts is one of the largest cattle dealers in his section of the country, and before moving to Can ada a short time ago, he had spent most of his life in Colorado, U.-S. A. l ean now understand why Tan lac enjoys such wide popularity both in Canada and the United States,” continued Mr, Roberts, "and since it has done me so much good, I know that it is a very dependable medicine and deserves all the praise that is being given it. For the past two years I have suffered from stomach, trouble, and • when I com menced taking this Tanlac, it was almost impossible for me to retain anything I ate, I was Very nervous and never got a good night’s sleep, and finally got so weak and rundown that I was hardly able to get about. I often had dizzy spells, and was bothered a great deal with consti­ pation. . My physician certainly knew what he was doing when he pres­ cribed Tanlac for me, for it has done the work for me, as I am as healthy and strong'now as I ever was in my life. Infactithas done much more for ine than I expected it would do, I have a fine appetite and everything I eat agrees with me perfectly,; >and. I never , have the slightest sign of stomach trouble of any kind. I am no longer bothered with constipation, and never have those dizzy spells any more. I have regained all my strength, too, and that nervousness has left me. and I sieep like a log every nighs. In fact. I am simply enjoying perfect health again, and I give Tanlac cred­ it for it all.” “Tanlac is sold by leading drug­ gists everywhere.” ADVERTISEMENT Forty Cents For Cotton. Progressive farmer. We believe growers are absolute­ ly justified in making a concerted movement to hold their cotton for forty cents.

We were happy to- give the hand of welcome, to., many of our friends who had not Wor­ shipped with us for many years, and to give the hearty hand shake to so many new friends who had come to be with us on that day. At eleven o’clock our pas­ tor Rev. W. L. Bsrrs preached one of his very helpful / sermons. . Directly after which the Chnrch membership roll was called. There were many present to ans-' wer to their names that had not been with us for a long time. Then followed dinner on the grounds. Andsucha din­ ner as was spread; and a great crowd. Everybodypresentwas invited to come up and help themselves. When all had satisfied the inner man. the fragments were gathered up, and although several huodred people had been fed, there. look­ ed to be enough left to feed as many more. After dinner we re-assembled in the house aft^r a song and prayer ser­ vice there were impromptu talks by sey eral of the brethren. This was a delight­ ful day and will be a happy memory for a long time- The church decided to make the home-coming an annual event. A president and secretary were appointed also a program committee. And the sec­ ond Sunday in August each year will be our home-coming day. On the following Monday our revival began and continued for mote than two weeks. God’s presence was manifested in every service and many were led tu seek Jesus. There were thirty two additions to the church- Amongwhomwasan old man seventy-six years old that gave'his heart to God and followed his Masterin baptism. Brother Barrs is a choice spirit and knows bow to nreach God's word. He is an untiring, energetic servant with a burning desire fcr the salvation of the lost. His whole sole is dedicated to God to be used for the saving of the world His messages are deeply spiritual and con-incing. Ancihespeakstothe point WhHii Brother Barrs came to this church less than two years ago we were in debt, but under his leadership we have paid off all indebtedness and have money in the treasury. We attribute our financial suc­ cess to having adopted the budget sys fern of giving. We have also gone from once a month preaching, to two Sundays and one Saturday. service. Have raised the pastor's salary and have paid about three times as* much to all objects tbis year a3 before. We were delighted to have with us during this meeting brother Cap Foster, who has been in Russellville, Kentucky, for several years He rendered very vain able Hervice In song and prayer. He came home about three weeks ago to 'visit his parents and other relatives.. He returned to Kentucky last Thursday. J. R. FOSTER, «W. S.

Washington. — Warning Mexicans that intervention by the United States is imminent, General Salvador Alva­ rado, one of the leaders in Vhe Car- ranza movement throughout its course has addressed an open letter to Car­ ranza himself, and Generals Obregon and Gonzales, in which he arraigns conditions in Mexico in scathing fashion.

Alvarado declares Mexico has pass­ ed from one extreme of an irrespon­ sible, obstructionist congress to the other.

Columbus, O.—In the first speech of his trans-continental "our, President Wilson here urged the American peo­ ple to exert, their influence for ac: ceptance by the United States senate of the peace treaty signed with Ger­ many, and predicted that the senate would ratify the treaty. "When it is accepted,” he said, "the men in khaki will never have to cross the seas again, and I say when It is accepted, because it will be-accepted.” Speaking to a capacity audience which filled every nookrin Memorial hall the President said it was not his purpose during, the trip to "debate” the treaty, but to expound it to the people. Ho declared there was a con­ cert of feeling among the allied repre- At Indianapolis, Indiana. Speaking at night at Indianapolis, Ind., the PresidenL referring~-to the treaty, said his speaking trip was partly to point out how "absolutely ignorant" of the contents of. the cove­ nant some were who opposed it. "If they read the Bnglish language at all,” he said, “they do hot under­ stand it as I do.’’ 'The President said he wanted to for get and wanted the people to forge* that they were .Republicans or -Demo­ crats. “I am an American,” he declared “and a champion of the rights which America believes In."

Specific reserva­ tions, it was said, were not discussed anad the president warmlv approved the immediate plans . of the treaty’s friends to meet what Senator Hitch­ cock said was “a clean cut issue.” Before conferring with the presi­ dent, Senator Hitchcock made a lengthy-speech In the senate in reply to recent attacks on the treatv by Republican Leader Lodge and Sena­ tor Knox.

The meats in storage include about 2.250.000 pounds of frozen poultry at New York and Chicago. SETTLEMENT IS REACHED IN SEVERAL BRITISH DISPUTES. Des Moines, Iowa.—The Versailles treaty with its league of nations cov­ enant was explained here by Presi­ dent Wilson as a purely Amreican document extending democracy over the world and shifting foreign rela­ tions from a basis of force and war to one of arbitration and peace. Making his second address of the day, the President. spoke in . Des Moines coliseum, said\ to seat 7,500; Every chair was taken and many were standing. Earlier in the day he had spoken at- Kan^as City, Mo* more than 300 miles away. Describing the world as desper­ ately in need of the settled condition -of peace, the President said the United States, the last nation which ike world expected to have to wait upon, was delaying the coming of that peace. The treaty, he said, not' only would establish peace but it would end forever the rule of a few men over the destinies of the many. Citing what happened, in Europe with the rise of bolshevism, Mr. Wil­ son said the move of radicalism and disorder was spreading.. “Do you honestly think that none of that poison has got into the veins of this free people?” he asked. • “Men look you calmly in the face in America and tell you they are for that sort of revolution. “So long as the question of what kind of peace the world was to have and what guarantees were to be be­ hind it, remained open, the poison would continue to’spread. “How, long shall-we be kept wait­ ing for the answer whether, the world will trust us or despise us?” he con­ tinued.” The President said he had not been able to work out the solution of rail­ way problems until he knew when a peace basis came. 'The conference of labor apd capital in Washington next month, lie continued, also would have its deliberations affected by the an­ swer to the treaty question. Labor “all over the world is waiting,” he asserted, “to see whether\the United States accepted the treaty’s provision for an international labor organiza­ tion.” The United States, said the Presi­ dent, could not participate in the world labor conference to be held in Washington soon under the treaty un­ less the treaty was accepted by this country. Such a condition would be “inconceivable,” he added, and would lead to the greatest “mortification.” ' “The world is waiting,” said the President, “to see not whether we will take part, but whether we will talce the lead.” The fathers of the republic, Mrr Wilson, said, intended to set up a standard to which .the world, could come for liberty. Prom all nations, he continued, men had come by millions. Opponents of the league, the Presi­ dent asserted, were saying, “yes, we made a great promise to the world, but it’ll cost too much to redeem it.” If by deliberate choice the United States became a rival and antagonist of her neighbors instead of their friends, said, the President, then it would reap the same reward as a busi­ ness man who proceeded on that ba­ sis. If the United States tried to get all it could selfishly, he continued, then the world would see that it got nothing at all.Just as American soldiers restored the morale of the fighting peoples of the allies, said the President, so the United States could now restore the peace morale of the world. “Are you going to institute a move against France and England and Ja­ pan to get Shantung back for China?” asked the President. •On the contrary, he added, estab­ lishment of the league would be a power to which China could appeal for future justice. Mr. Wilson also discussed Article 10 of the league covenant. Pan-Ger­ manism and similar plans would be “tom up by the roots.”/ Of the ultimate outcome of the treaty he had no doubt. “The only thing that can be accom­ plished,” he ,said, “is delay. The ulti­ mate outcome will be the triumphant acceptance of the treaty and the league.” The Monroe doctrine provision, he said, had been objected to as vague, because it referred to “such regional understandings as the Monroe doc­ trine.” .“This language was • written,’ the President said, “in perfect innocence, and was ‘intended’ to give right of way to the Monroe doctrine in the western hemisphere.” ' “The language was put in,” he con­ tinued, “because the .other delegates thought it unwise to make specific reference to a policy of one country without leaving the way open for other nations to develop similar poli­ cies in their own localities.” GALLOWAY'S RESIGNATION IS FORCED BY BURLESON HEADACHE Often C aused by Yes^ Indeed, more often than yon thlnlc.

Synopsis.—Major Amberson hafl made a fortune in 1873 when other people were losing fortunes, and the magnificence of the Ambersons began then. Maibr Amberson laid out a 200-acre “development,” with roads and statuary, and in the center of a four-acre tract, on Amberson avenue, built for himself the most magnificent mansion Midland City had ever seen. When the m ajors daughter married young Wilbur Minafer the neighbors predicted that as Isabel could never really love Wilbur all her love wouia be bestowed upon the children. There is only one child, however, George Amberson Minafer, and his upbringing and his youthful accomplishments as a mischief maker are quite in keeping with the most pessimistic predictions. By the time George goes away to college he does not attem pt to conceal his belief that the Ambersons are about the most important family in the world. A t a ball given in his honor when he returns from college, George monopolizes Lucy Morgan, a stranger and the prettiest girl present, and gets on famously with her until ho learns that a "queer looking duck” at whom he had been poking much fun, is the young lady's father. He is Eugene Morgan, a former resident o t Bigburg, and he is returning to erect a factory and to build horseless carriages of his own invention. Eugene had been an old admirer of Isabel’s and they had been engaged when Isabel threw him over because of a youthful indiscre­ tion and married Wiibur Minafer. CHAPTER IV—Continued. “Give me the nest and the one after ■that,” he said hurriedly, recovering ‘some presence of rnind, just as the nearest applicant reached them. “And give me every third one the rest of the evening.” She laughed. “Are you asking?” “What do you mean, ‘asking?’” ‘.'It sounded as though you were just telling me to give you all those ■dances.” “Well, I want ’em!” George insisted. “Are you going to give me—” "Good gracious!” she laughed. "Yes!” The applicants flocked round her, Tirging contracts for what remained, but they did not' dislodge George from her side, though he made it evident that they succeeded in annoying him; and presently he extricated her from an accumulating siege—she must have connived In the extrication—and bore her off to sit beside him upon the stairway that led to the musicians’ gallery, where they were sufficiently retired, yet had a view of the room. “How’d all those ducks get to know you so quick?” George inquired, with little enthusiasm. “Oh, I’ve been here a week.” “Looks as If you’d been pretty busy!” he said. “Most of those ducks, I don’t know what my mother wanted to Invite ’em here for.” "Perhaps it was on account of their parents,” Miss Morgan suggested mildly. “Maybe she didn’t want to offend their fathers and mothers.” “Oh, hardly! I don’t think my mother need worry much about offend­ ing anybody In this old town.” “It must be wonderful,” said 'Miss Morgan. “It must be wonderful, Mr. Amberson—Mr. Minafer, I mean.” “What, must be wonderful?” “To be so important as that!” “That Isn’t ‘important,’ ” George as­ sured her. “Anybody that • really is anybody ought to be able -to do about as they like In their own town, I should think!” She looked.at him critically from under her shading lashes—but her eyes grew gentler almost at once. In truth, they became more appreciative than critical. George’s imperious good looks were altogether manly, yet ap­ proached actual' beauty as closely as a boy’s good looks should dare; and dance music and flowers have some effect upon nineteen-year-old girls as wdl as upon eighteen-year-old boys. The stairway was drafty: the steps were narrow and uncomfortable; no older person would have remained In finch a place. Moreover, these two young people were strangers to each other; neither had said anything in which the other had discovered the slightest intrinsic Interest; there had not arisen between them the begin­ nings of congeniality, orf ev^n of friendliness—but stairways near ball­ rooms have more to answer forx than have moonlit lakes and mountain sun­ sets. Age, confused by its own long ac­ cumulation of follies, Is everlastingly Inquiring, “what does she see In Iilm ?’’ as if young love came about through thinking—or through conduct. At eighteen one goes to a dance, sits with a stranger on a stairway, feels pe­ culiar, thinks nothing, and becomes Incapable of any ,plan whatever. Miss Uorgan and George stayed where they were. They had agreed to this in silence and without knowing it; certainly without exchanging glances of intelli­ gence—they had exchanged no glances at all. Both sat staring vaguely out] . Into the ballroom, and, for a time, they did not speak. Here and there were to be seen couples so carried away that, ceasing to move at the decorous, even glide, considered most knowing, they pranced and whirled through the throng, from wall to wall, galloping bounteously, in • abandon. 'George suffered a shock of vague sur­ prise when he perceived that liis aunt, Panny Minafer, was the lady-half of one of those wild couples. She flew jnver the floor in the capable arms of the queer-looking duck; for this per­ son was her partner. The queer-looking duck had been a real dancer ia his day, it appeared; and evidently his day was not yet over. In spite of the headlong, gay rapidity with which he bore Miss Panny about the big room he danced authoritatively, avoiding without ef­ fort the licfcfeot collision with other couples, maintaining sufficient grace throughout his wildest moments, and all the while laughing and talking with his partner. What was most re­ markable to George, and a little irri­ tating, this stranger in the Amberson mansion had no vestige of the air of deference proper to a stranger in such a place: he seemed thoroughly at home. He seemed offensively so, in­ deed, when, passing the entrance to the gallery stairway, he disengaged his hand from Miss Fanny’s for an In­ stant, and not pausing in the dance, waved a laughing, salutation more than cordial, then capered lightly out of sight. George gazed stonily at this mani­ festation, responding neither by word nor sign. “How’s that for a bit of freshness?” he murmured. 1 “What was?” Miss Morgan asked. “That queer-looking duck waving his hand at me like that. Except he’s the Sharon girls’ uncle I don’t know him from Adam.” “You don’t need to,” she said. “He wasn’t waving his hand to you: he meant me.” “Oh, he did?” George was not mol­ lified by the explanation. “Everyone poems to mean you! You certainly do seem to have been pretty busy this week you’ve been here!” She pressed her bouquet to her face again and laughed into It, not dis­ pleased. She lnade no other com­ ment, and for another period neither spoke. “Well,” said George finally, “I must say you don’t seem to be much of a prattler. They say it’s a great way to get a reputation for being wise— never saying much. Don’t you eler talk at all?” “When people can understand,” she answered. He had been looking moodily out at the ballroom, but he turned to her quickly, at this, saw that her eyes were sunny and content, over the top of her bouquet, -and he consented to smile. .“Girls are usually pretty fresh!” he said. “They ought to go to a man’s college about a year: they’d get taught a few things about freshness! What you got to do after two o’clock tomorrow afternoon?" “A whole lot of things. Every min­ ute filled up.” “All right,” said George. “The snow’s fine for sleighing: I’ll come for you In a cutter'at ten minutes after two.” “I ‘can’t possibly go.” “if you don’t,” he said, ‘Tm going to sit in the cutter in front of the gate, wherever you're visiting, all afternoon, and if you try to go out with anybody else he’s got to whip me before he gets you.” And as she. laughed—though she blushed a little, too—he continued, seriously; “If you think Tm not in earnest you’re at lib­ erty to make quite a big experiment I” She laughed again. “I don’t think I’ve often had so large a compliment as that,” she said, “especially on such short notice—and yet I don’t think I’ll go with you.” “You be'ready at ten minutes after two.” v ‘‘No, I won’t.” “Yes, you will!” “Yes,” she said, ‘I will!” And her partner for the next dance arrived, breathless with searching. “Don’t forget I’ve got the third from now,” George called after her. When “the third from now” came George presented himself before her without any greeting, like a brother or a mannerless old friend. Both George and Miss Morgan talked much more to everyone else that evening than to each other, and they said nothing at all at this time. Both looked, preoccupied as they began to dance, and preserved a gravity of ex­ pression to the end of the number.. And their next number they did not dance, but went back to the gallery stairway, seeming' to have reached an understanding without any verbal consultation that this suburb was again the place for them. “Well,” said George coolly, when they were seated, “what did you say your name was?” “Morgan.” “Funny name!" “Everybody else’e name always is.” I ‘i didn’t mean it was really funny,” George explained. “That’s just one of my crowd’s, bits of homing, at col­ lege. We always say *funny name,’ no matter what it is.’ I guess we’re pret­ ty fresh sometimes; but I knew your name was Morgan because my mother said so downstairs. I meant; what’s the rest of it?” “Lucy.” '' “How old are you?” George asked. • “I don’t really know myself.” . “What do you mean: you don’t really know yourself?” “I mean I only know what they tell me. I, believe them, of course, but believing isn’t really knowing.” “Look here !’’-said George. “Do you always talk like this?” Miss Lucy Morgan laughed forgiv­ ingly, put her young head on one side like a bird and responded cheerfully: ‘Tm willing to learn wisdom. What are you studying at school?” “College!” “At the university! Yes. W liatare you studying there?” George laughed. “Lot o’ useless guff!” “Then why don't you study some useful guff?” “What do you mean: ‘Useful?’” “Something you’d use later, in your business or profession?” George waved his hand impatient­ ly. ‘‘I don’t expect to go into any ‘business or profession.’ ” “No?” “Certainly not!” George was em­ phatic, being sincerely annoyed by a suggestion which showed how utterly she failed to comprehend the kind of person he was. \ “Why not?” she asked mildly. “Just look at ’em I” he said, almost with bitterness, and he made a ges­ ture presumably intended to indicate the 'business and professional men now dancing within range of vision. “That’s a fine career for a man, isn’t it! Lawyers, bankers, politicians' What do they get out of life, I’d like to know! xWhat do they ever know about real things? Where do they ever get?” H e' was so earnest that she was surprised and impressed. She had a vague,momentary vision of Pitt, at twenty-one, prime minister of Eng­ land; and she spoke, involuntarily in a lowered voice, with deference: “What do you want to be?” she asked. George answered promptly. “A yachtsman,” he said. CHAPTER V. Having thus, in a word, revealed his ambition for a career above courts, marts and polling booths, George breathed more deeply than usual, and, turning his fac^ from the lovely companion whom . he' had just made his confidant, gazed, out at the dancers with an expression in which there fvas both sternness and a contempt for the squalid lives of the unyachted Midlanders before him. However, among them he marked his mother, and his somber grandeur re­ laxed momentarily; a more genial light came into his eyes. Isabel was dancing with the queer- looking duck; and it was to be noted that the lively gentleman’s gait was more sedate than it had been with C v n - “Are You* Engaged "to Anybody?" Mlss Fanny Minafer, but not less dex­ terous and authoritative. He saw George and :the beautiful Lucy, on the stairway and nodded to them. George waved his hand, vaguely: he had a momentary return of that inexplicable uneasiness and resentment which had troubled.him downstairs.’ "How lovely yoiur mother is I” Lucy said. 'I think she is,” he agreed, gently. , “She’s the gracefulest woman' In that ballroom. Howwondertully theydance together!” * “Who?” “Your mother and-^-and the queer- IooMng duck,” said LucyJ *Tm going to 'dance, with him pretty soon." : 1 “I don’t care—so long as you don’t give him one of the numbers that belong to me." ' ‘TH try to remember,” she 'said, and thoughtfully lifted to her face the bouquet of violets and lilies, a gesture which George noted without approval. “Look here! Who sent you those flowers you keep makin’ such a fuss over?” “He did.” “Who’s ‘he?’” ' - “th e que'er-looklng duck.” George feared no such rival; he laughed loudly. “I s’pose he’s some old widower!” he said, the object thus described seeming ignominious enough to a person of Eighteen, with­ out additional characterization. Lucy became serious at once. “Yes, he is a widower,” she said. “I ought to have told you before; he’s my fa­ ther." George stopped laughing abruptly. “Well, that’s a horse on me. If I’d known he was your father of course I wouldn’t have made fun of him. I’m sorry.” “Nobody could make fun of him,” she said quietly. “Why couldn’t they?” “It wouldn’t make him funny: it would only make themselves silly.” Upon this George had a-gleam of intelligence. “Well, I'm not going |to make myself silly any ihore, then; I don’t want to take chances like that with you. But I thought he was the Sharon girls’ uncle. He came with them—” ‘•*Yes,” she said; “I’m always late to everything: I wouldn’t let them wait for me. We’re visiting the Sharons.” “About time I knew that! You for­ get my being so fresh about your fa­ ther, will you?' Of course he’s a dis- tinguished-looking man, in a way.” Lucy was still serious. “ Tn a way?*” she repeated. “You mean, not in your way, don’t you?” George was perplexed. “How do you mean: not in my way?” “People often say “In a way’ and ‘rather distinguished looking,’ or ‘rather’ so-and-so, or ‘rather’ anything, to show that they’re superior, don’t they. Ifs a kind of snob slang, I think. Of course people don’t always say ‘rather’ or ‘In a way’ to be su­ perior.” “I should say not! .4 use both of ’em a great’ deal myself,” said George. “One thing I don’t see, though: What’s the use of a man being six feet three? Men that size can’t handle themselves as well as a man about five feet eleven and a half can.” George was a straightforward soul, at least. “See here !’’..he said. “Are you engaged to anybody?” “No.” . 1 Not wholly mollified, he shrugged his shoulders. “You seem to know a good many people! Do you live in New York?” , “No. We don’t live anywhere.” “What do you m.ean: you don’t live anywhere?” “We’ve lived all over,” she answered. “Papa used to live here in this town, but that, was before I was bom.” “What do you keep moving around so for?. vIs he a promoter?” “No. He’s an Inventor.” “What’s he invented?” “Just lately,” said Lucy, “he’s been working on a new'kind of horseless carriage.” -“Well, I’m sorry for him,” George said, in no unkindly spirit. “Those things are never going to amount to anything. People aren’t going to spend their lives lying on their backs in the road and letting grease drip in their faces.” “Papa’d be so grateful,” she re­ turned, “If he could have your ad­ vice.” Instantly George's face became flushed. “ I don’t know that I’ve done anything' to be insulted for!” he said. “I don’t see that what I said was par­ ticularly fresh.” “No, indeed!”. “Then what do you—” She laughed gayly. “I don’t I, 'And I don’t mind your being such a lofty person at all. I think it’s ever so .interesting—but papa’s a great man!” *‘Is he?” Geoyge decided- to be good-natured. - “Weil, let us hope so. I hope so, I’m sure.” Looking at him.keenly, she saw that the magnificent youth was incredibly sincere in this bit of .graciousness. She shook her head in gentle wonder. “I’m just beginning to understand,” she said. , “Understand what?” “What it means to be a real Am- bersqn in this town. Papa told me something about it before we came, but I see he didn’t say half enough!’’ George superbly took this all for tribute. ‘ “Did your father say he knew the family before he left, here?” “Yes. I believe he was particularly a friend of your Uncle George; and he didn’t say so, but I imagine he must have known your mcftliGr very ■Well, too. ‘ He- wasn’t an inventor then ; he wds a young lawyer. The town was smaller In those days,, and’ I believe he was quite well known.” I dare say. JFve no douht the fam­ ily are all very glad to- see him back, especially if they used to have him at the house a good deal, as he told you.” “I don’t think he meant to boast of it,” she said. “He spoke quite calmly,” she retorted, as her partner , for the next dance .arrived. ’ She took wing away on the breeze of the waltz, and George, having stared gloomily after her for a few moments, postponed filling an engage­ ment, and strolled round the fluctu­ ating outskirts of the dance to where his uncle, George Amberson, stood smilingly-watching, under one of the rose-vine arches At -the entrance to the room. , - “Hello, young namesake,” said the uncle. “Why lingers the laggard heel of the dancer? Haven’t you got a partner?” “She’s sitting around waiting for me somewhere,” said George. “See here: Who is this fellow Morgan that Aunt Fanny Minafer was dancing with a while ago?” - Amberson laughed. “He’s a man with a pretty daughter, Georgie. Me- seeSned you’ve been spending the eve­ ning noticing something of that- sort— or do I err?”, “Never mind! What sort is he?’1 • “I think we’ll have to give him a character, Georgie. He’s an . old friend; used to practice law here— perhaps he had more debts than cases, but he paid ’em all up before he left town. Your question is purely mer­ cenary, I take it: you want to know his true worth before, proceeding fur­ ther with the daughter. I cannot in­ form you, though I notice signs of eonsiderat/le prosperity in that be­ coming dress of hers. However, you never can tell. It is an age when ev­ ery sacrifice is made for the young, and how your own poor mother man­ aged to provide those genuine, pearl studs for you out of her allowance from father I can’t—” “Oh, dry up!” said the nephew. 1T understand this Morgan—” “Mr. Eugene Morgan,” his uncle suggested. “Politeness requires that the young should—” “I guess the ‘young1' didn’t know much about politeness in your day,” George intennipted. “I understand that Mr. Eugene Morgan used to be a great friend of the family. The way he was dancing with Aiint Fanny—” Amberson lauglied. “I’m afraid your Aunt Fanny’s heart was stirred by ancient recollections, Georgie.” “You m^ant she used to be silly about him?” x “She' wasn’t considered singular,” said • the uncle. “He was—he was popular. Could you bear a question?” “What do you mean: • could I bear—” “I only wanted to ask: Do you take this same passionate interest In the pareiits of every gii-1 you dance with? Perhaps it’s a new fashion we old bachelors ought to take up. Is it the thing this year to—” “Oh, go on!” said George, moving away. / ‘I only wanted to know—” . He left the sentence unfinished, and and crossed the room to wiiere a f*id sat waiting for bis nobility to find time to fulfill his contract, with her for this dance. 1 “Pardon f keep* wait,” he muttered, as she rose brightly to meet him; and she seemed pleased that he came at all. He danced with her perfunctor- rily, thinking the while of Mr.-Eugene Morgan and his daughter. Strangely enough his thoughts dwelt more upon the father than the. daughter, though George could not possibly have given a reason—even to himself—for this disturbing preponderance. By a coincidence, though not an odd one, the ,thoughts and conversa­ tion of Mr. Eugene Morgan at this very, time were concerned with George Amberson Minafer, rather cas­ ually, it is true.: Mr. Morgan had re­ tired to a room set apart for smok­ ing, on the second floor, and had found a grizzled gentleman lounging in solitary possession. ’. “ ’Gene Morgan!” this person ex­ claimed, rising with great heartiness. “I don’t believe you know me!” 'iYes, I do, Fred Kinney!” Mr. Mor­ gan returned with equal friendliness. “Your real face—the one I used to know—it’s just underneath the one you’re masquerading in tonight. You ought to have changed it more if you wanted a disguise.” “Twenty ye^rs!” said Mr. Kinney. “It makes some difference In faces, but more in behavior!” “It does so !” his friend agreed with explosive emphasis. They sat and smoked. ■ “However,” Mr. Morgan remarked presently, “I still dance, like an In­ dian. Don’t you?” “No. I leave that to my boy Fred. He does the dancing for the family.” “I suppose he’s upstairs hard at it?” „ , . “No, he’s not here.”. Mr. Kinney glanced toward the open door and lowered his voice. “He wouldn’t come.' Itj Seema that a couple pf years or so ago he had a row with young Georgie Minafer. Fred was president of a literary club they had, and he said this Georgie Minafer got himself elected instead, in • an overbearing sort of way. Fred’s very bitter about his row with Georgie Minafer.

The friendly hand remained upon his shoulder. “She was wrong once, old fellow. At least, so It seemed to me.” “No,” said Morgan, a little awk­ wardly. “No—” Kinney relieved the slight embar­ rassment that had come upon both of them: he laughed again. ‘‘Wait till you know young Georgie a little bet* ter,” ,he Said. “Something tells you’re going to change youraim) about having an angel to show, if yo" see anything' of him!” “You mean beauty’s in the eye o the beholder, and the angel is a" 10 the eye of the mother.

HISTORIC UES MT HH6T0N MANY RESIDENTS OF CAPITAL _ CITY HAVE NEGLECTED TO VISIT THEM. 6 LADENSBURG IS CLOSE I BY Scene of Militia’s Defeat by Invading British and Famous Dueling Ground —Fort Stevens, BraddockeS Stone and ArMngton Are Interesting. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington. — Some residents of Washington, do not know Washington or its environs. Scores of tem­ porary residents here also do not know Washington and its. environs. It Is left- for the casual visitor, the sight­ seer, to learn of this town and all 'that It and its neighborhood hold of historic Interest. What is it that gets into the legisla­ tors, newspaper correspondents and others who come here for several years’ stay which makes them put off visiting the places which should be of deep interest to all Americans? It Is easy enough to answer. Every man wbo comes here of course has made up his mind In advance that he will visit all the places which events have made interesting, but, he puts off from day to day and from day to .day, and finally when he is, called away from this city- to- other duties he usually puts the last week into one of quick sightseeing. It is a safe wager that there are many senators and representatives now sitting under the dome of the capitol who never have visited Mount Vernon, the residence and .the place of burial of George Washington. There is one newspaper correspondent of whom I know, and shame keeps me from giving his name, who was in Washington for seven years, before he took the trail .of natural American rev­ erence to the tomb of the ,“First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Washington has hundreds of visitors at all seasons, people who. have come here to see the places of interest, and who In advance have prepared lists of the things which they feel that they must see. These visitors do the thing as thoroughly as it can be done within the time which they allot for their stay. There are men and women, and even children, living In distant parts of the country who know more about Washington than do some of its resi­ dents, temporary and permanent. Bladensburg Is Historic. Close to the city of Washington there is a ' place called Bladensbnrg. In many stories of the political and warlike events in which the city of Washington figures, Bladensbnrg looms large. It was there that the un­ organized militia of the United States was met and overrun by the British troops in their advance on Washing­ ton, at the time they captured the city and burned the capitol and the White House. , ' BIadensburg Is 'a historic place for other reasons. It was a- great dueling ground in the old days when men were bent on settling disputes on what they called the field of honor. It was to Bledensburg that Stephen Decatur went in the gfay of the morning one hundred years ago to meet in person­ al pistol combat Commodore Barron of the United States navy. On the field of 'Bladensburg the great sailor, Stephen Decatur, fell mortally wound­ ed by a bullet from his adversary’s weapon. The Decatur house, built and occupied by the sailor, still, stands In the city of Washington. Out Seventh street way and well within the city are the remains of Fort Stevens. When the Confederate gen­ eral, Early, threatened the city from the northeast, troops were hurriedly brought to the city and Fort Stevens was manned. After a smart skirmish the Confederates retreated. Abrahanr Lincoln, then president of the United States, went out to Fort Stevens to witness the fight. He stood exposed for some time to the Confederate fire. Fort Stevens and its historic interest seem nearly forgotten today, except by the men and women who come here from a distance to see Washington. Where Braddock Landed. Probably not many persons In Wash­ ington, lawmakers, office holders or residents, know that General Braddock landed his forces from barges on the Potomac at a point well within the piesent limits of the city, and from there marched on his unfortunate cam­ paign into western Pennsylvania, ac­ companied by the young surveyor sol­ dier, George Washington. The place where Braddock .landed Is known as Braddock’s Rock, and Its location ls' well defined on the maps and In the histories. ’1 Arlington, the home of the Custises and later of Robert E. Lee, is now a great national cemetery. Arlington, to be sure, Is in Virginia, but it Is within, ten minutes’ ride of the city of Wash­ ington. The view down the Potomac frotn Washington is unsurpassed for beauty. Thousands upon thousands of the nation’s dead lie buried under the great trees. The old colonial man­ sion of the Custises and the Lees still stands. In it Robert E. Lee was mar­ ried to Miss Custis, and it was there, in later years, Uiat he decided to cast his lot with the Confederacy.' Arling­ ton is more or less neglected by tlft temporary and permanent residents of the city of Washington, but the visitors from -a distance go to the beautiful place in thousands at all seasons.

Take Dodson's Liver Tone Instead Bead my guarantee I I f "bilious, constipated ox head­ achy you need not take nasty, sickening, danger­ ous calomel to get straightened up. Every druggist in town—your drug­ gist and everybody’s druggist has no­ ticed a greaffalling off In the sale of calomel. They ajl give the same rea­ son. Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its place. ' “Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson’s Uver Tone is, perfectly safe and gives better re­ sults," said a prominent local druggist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle doesn’t cost very, much, but if it fails to give easy relief in every | case of liver sluggish­ ness and, constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson’s Liver Tone-. is a pleasant* tasting, purely vegetable remedy, / harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head* ache, acid stomach .or constipated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause In* convenience all the next day like vto* lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will fed weak, sick and nauseated. Don’t lose' a day’s work!

A SUMMER COLD * A cold In the summer time, as every­ body knows, is the hardest kind of a cold to get rid ef. The best and quick­ est way is to go to bed and stay there if you can, with a bottle of “Boschee’s Syrup” handy to insure a good night’s rest, free from coughing, with easy ex­ pectoration ' in the morning.' But if you can’t stay In bed you must keep out of draughts, avoid sudden changes, eat sparingly of simple food and take occasional doses of Boschee’s Syrup, which you .can buy at any stole where medicine Is sold; a safe and effi­ cient remedy, made in America for more than fifty years. Keep It handy.—Adv. Stern Criticism. They tell a good story of David Bis- pham. During his stay in Chicago, where he taught the summer term at a well-known music school the noted barytone was forced to listen to a number of prospective pupils on trial. After dismissing a tenor with a rath­ er severe criticism Mr. Bis^hqm next interviewed a barytone. This was his verdict; “Well, you’re as bad as the tenor, only an octave lower.” - THE MEN IN CLASS Al A sound, healthy man is never a back number.

He looked it when, at 9 o’clock in the morning, he wan­ dered into the hotel dining room to keep an appointment with a friend, who was just then nt breakfast. “Hello, Jack,” Bill murmured, yawn­ ing. It appeared as if every syllable cost him untold effort. He sat down and. rubbed his eyes with Iiis firsts. He bit Iiis iips to keep from yawning again. “Had breakfast?” Jack inquired. _ "No," the other replied. “Don’t want any.” \ “Well,” Jack insisted, “have a cup of coffee, anyway.” Bill yawned again in spite of him- aelf. “Don’t want any coffee,” he said. “It would keep me awake all day.”—San Francisco Chronicle. * How Pat Won Out Anxious to travel for a big English firm in the ham line, an Irishman b- tained an interview with the pro­ prietor. ‘•‘Wlmt experience have you had?’’ the Irishman was asked. “Eighteen montfis,” was the answer. “Eighteen months!” scornfully re­ peated the proprietor, “What could yon learn about bacon in that time? Why, I’ve been studying for forty years, and don’t know half enough about it yet.” “Bedad,” exclaimed Pat, with a con­ fident smile, “if I had been studying it for forty years, I’d know how to make a pig!” He got the job.

It’s past midnight!” At that moment there entered the small boy of the household. He had been, for the last hour or so, behind the draught-screen in the drawing­ room, and vowed that he had enjoyed himself better than if he had been at a movie show. “It isn’t his fault, pa," said the heir of the Smiths. “He can’t go; Christa- bel’s sitting,on him!” Two Cynical Poiius.' “The French,” said Dr. Sidney E.

(Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) • Many turkeys are raised in Texas, as well as a considerable number in Mississippi and Alabama and in west­ ern Florida. As a general; proposition these birds are raised In small flocks on general farms, where plenty of range is available. Under such condi­ tions they usually yield a profitable income. Not many ducks are raised in the South, but considerable Interest is displayed, in geese production, while guineas also are raised on many farms. Guinea eggs are used on the home* .table, as well as being marketed, but as a rule the guineas are allowed to run wild and are not produced on any scale for market purposes.

The consen sus of opinion however, was that the decline might not come for an- othee-year. Witnesses said that women, de maDded a high grade of shoes and were willing to pay for them. One leading firm, it was brought out, ..Ihad.millions of dollars worth of cheap grades of sole leather on hand which manufacturers would not buy because it did not come up to the standard demanded by purchasers of shoes.

CROTTS. The capture and imprisonment of the two Uoited StateB aviators a few days ago. waB.o.nly one of a long series of indignities and - out- rages committed by Mexicans up­ on tbe United States in the per sons of its citizens, including 251 “officially known” to have been murdered in cold blood. It- was the crowning affront of that- long list, but it was by no means the first time Mexico’s outlaw gangs bad shown their contempt for this country by committing acts '■ of violence against men of onr Army and Navy, as well aB mnrderiqg ci vihan Americans on both sides of tbe border. Mesican contempt for "gringos” and their government has been bred by long experience with •Watchful Waiting” and ‘‘Courage to Withdraw” and “Too Proud to Fight” policies so far transcending tbe patience a powerful nation Bbould show a weak nation, as to seem, to Americans as well as to Mexicans, a cowardly failure to protect citizen’s lives, inspired - by fear of troublesome consequences. Tbe $15,000 carried into Mexico to meet the Bandits’ demand.-may have been the gift of private •' citi. zenB iatner than funds of ^ e :Uni­ ted StateH GoVeriimentf b n tits payment was authorized by Maji Geo. Joseph T. Dickman, Com manding A Department of the UDited States Army, and the money wae actually carried to the- bandits camp by an army officer, CapE. Mattack, of the. 8 th Cavalry. Wescarcelyknow what to say of what followed vWhen Capt. ; Mat* tack, after duly ransoming' Lieut. Petersonwith balf oM he money, is accordance with the bargain, and took Lieut. Davis upon his horse and “ made a wild dash for tbe Border.” Asthe Captain says, getting away with both tbe captors and the remaining $7,500 and courag­ eously bidding the Bandits “go to bell.” It may be no breach of honor to cheat a rogue, no doubt, Americans are glad all of .them, that the two officers escaped with their lives, are disposed to cpndone the payment of ransom sfs the’ only piacticable way to save. them. Are amused to think, the Bandits got only half of what' they bar* gaiued for. Bht the principal of tbe thing is another matter. If a great government consents' to deal with outlaws andthieves'shbnld it not deal on thi levelt If it nmsP-.do business’ with Bcoundrels ought it h o t "to play fair, in Bome sort.ofresjpect for. its­ elf and citizenBf^ T iat the great Government at Washington should accept the terms of greaser brig­ ands only to swindle them is not vhat the most of ub would care to think of as “ true Americanism.” Mr. Peterson, father of Lient. Peterson, of Minnesota, said some* thing to which every real Amer­ ican can heartily subscribe when expressed a hope that Wash ingtOD would not let the affair “unnoticed pasB.” He :was em­ phatically right when he said, f “the captnre of United'8 tatiEI' Qffi cers by bandits surely. BtriKes. at the heart of the Guvernmeriti” With permission from Washing­ ton, our troopB have crossed the border in Bearch of this particular, bandit gang. It is only a ibcal pursuit, a “hot trail” incident Bimilar to the brief visit recently paid by American soldiers to Jnar- Washington wishes it distinct­ ly understood that Uiis is n<jt- an invasion ol MexicoJin force. ^But even it w*re ostensibly an adje. quate assertion of American- rights he country could have no grea£ aith in itv Americans and M ez. lcans alike remember that Gen. was sent with a iorce io Vera Cruz to make Mex­ ico salute the fla>, and that Gen. Pershing was Bent across the bor­ der-with-all the iegimentB the Ar­ my could muster to ‘-Get Villa Dead or Alive.” And that both Generais were called back with all their men without beiug allowed to do what they were sent to do. The disgraceful affair-of holding two Army officers for ranson in­ deed strikes at the heart of the Government and outrages thfe na tional honor. If there is any' ves- tige of true -Americanism in the Wilson administration, it ^ill at last give heed to home affairs long euongh to start and go through with a Mexican clean-up in keep, ing with American performances- in Cuba, "the Phillipines, Haiti and elsewhere. .

Tnac this talk-is justified is established in the many “ signs of the times,” following in6titntipn of tjie .jSpv. ernm ent’s earnestly intended cam paign against hoarded foodstuffs and* profiteering. The deaired end may be hastened if Congress would lose no time in enactment of the amendments needed to the Yood control law, and perhaps it is - the mere knowledge on part of profi­ teers that snch amendments are coming that has moved them *to set their households in ordei* a- gainet the day of wrath—lor that both the Government and people have become* w rathful there can be no mistake. Attorney General Palmter knows the situation, pres­ ent and formulative, and he no doubt speaks advisedly when he discounts the efforts of profiteers to induce the people to rush into investment in goods at the exist­ ing high IeveLof prices, under rep­ resentation that prices are gcing to be-still higher. We can place faith in the results of the Govern d en t’s .warfare. Prices are not going to be higher. They are on the downward incline, and tbe probabilities'are for no Blacking up until a normal level iB reached. Against the propaganda of higher prices next year, vye have the Government’s assurance /that the criminal penalties' will grove a block to that game. B u t. let the slump come!

When I tried to walk around or do a littlelight work the small of my back and hips ached so bad I would simply have ~ to lie down, and some nights I couldn’t stay in bed, the pain was so severe. Along with the rheumatism I also suffered from stomach trouble and nervousness and had no appetite.

After reading of so mpny people in our town who have been cured by Doan’s' Kidney Pills, the question " naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally success­ ful in our neighboring towm?"

ONLY NATION WITH CAPITAL T- TO REHABfLITATE THE WORLD St. Paul, Minn..—The cost of living President Wilson told the' Minnesota legislature, is largely due to “a world situation” growing out of the sacri­ fices and waste of the war. ' "The world is not going to settle down^’ said he, “until it. learns what part of the United States is to-play.” He continued that this was the only nation which would have enough free capital in the near future to .rehabili­ tate the world economically. THE RUMANIAN DELEGATION WILL NOT SIGN THE TREATY. Paris.—The Rumanian delegation to the peace conference announced it would not sign the Austrian peace trsaty. Rumania was expected to take the, course she has announced because of the council's flat refusal to grant her the privilege of making reservations in connection with the rights of minor­ ities in territories detached from the former Austrian enipire as provided for in the peace treaty. IS NOT YET TOO LATE TO TRY GENERAL HARTS. Paris.—It is not yet too late to bring Brigadier General William W.

TO SEGURE RATIFICATION Substitute Resolutions Drafted and Discussed at Length In Private ■ Cloakroom Conferences.' IWashington.—Marked indications of a compromise in the senate contro­ versy over reservations to the league of. nations covenant came from both democratic and republican, sources af­ ter Republican Leader -Lodge had an­ nounced that the peace treaty would be reported to the senate and proba­ bly taken up for consideration next week. Probably the most important de­ velopment of the day was a state­ ment to the senate by Senator Sim; mons, of North Carolina, prominent in. administration leadership, declar­ ing “some concessions In the way of reservations will have to be made to secure its ratification.” ' Although “ut­ terly” opposing some of the Lodge reservations, Senator Simmons said he was suggesting a compromise on “conservative reservations of an in­ terpretative character." Republican senators continued ef­ forts to compromise differences over a reservation to Article 10 of the league covenant. Senators McCum- ber, North Dakota, Kellog, Minnesota, and Lenroot1 of Wisconsin were said to have drafted substitute reserva­ tions which were discussed privately in lengthy cloakroom conferences. STRIKE OF 600,000 RAIL MEN AGAIN .THREATENED. Detro:t, Mich.—Definite action by the end of this week on the threatened strike is expected of the convention of the United Biotherhood of Mainte­ nance of Railway Employes and Rail­ way Shop Laborers, which opened its; session hete with more than 2,000 del­ egates from the United States, Cana­ da and Panama canal zone present SMALL PACKERS ,SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT IN DANGER. Washington:—Independent packers of the country can protect themselves from the “big five” packing companies without the aid of the Kenyon and Kendrick bills, the senate agricultural committee was told by John J. Felin, representing the independent concerns “We are able to take care of our­ selves,” said Felin. “Leave us alone. We’ve had our troubles during the last two ears with the license system and we don’t want any more of it.” PRO-GERMANISM IS AGAIN \ RAISING ITS HEAD HERE. Sioux Falls,. S. D.—Declaring that pro-Germanism again had lifted its head in this country. President Wil­ son declared in an address here “that every element of chaos”- was hoping there would be “no steadying hand” placed on the world’s effairs. “I want to tell ou,” 'said the Presi­ dent, “that within the last two weeks the pro-German element in the United States again has lifted its head.” ~ , .Declaring the peace treaty provis­ ion for an international labor confer­ ence would give labor a new bill of rights, ttfe President declared the treaty was a “laboring man’s treaty” in -the sense that it was p. treaty drawn up, for the benefit of the com­ mon people. * - * PROSPECTIVE PRODUCTION IN SPRING WHEAT CROP8 Washington.—A further decline of the' spring wheat crop reduced the prospective production 17,000,000 bushels during August, but corn had a good month and shows a•.prospect­ ive output 70,000,000 bushels larger than indicated last month, according to the government crop report. There were reductions in the fore­ casts of oats, white potatoes, tobacco and hay, but an increase in buckwheat and sugar beets. GENERAL PERSHING RETURN8 AFTER TWO YEARS SERVICE. New York.—General Pershing, after two years In command of the greatest army 'America has ever sent to battle, returned to the United States.

Synopsis.—Major Amberson had made a fortune in 1873 -when other people were losing fortunes, and the magnificence of the Ambersons began then. Major Amberson laid out a 200-acre “development,” with roads and statuary, and In the center of a four-acre tract, on Amberson avenue, built for himself the most magnificent mansion Midland City had ever seen. When the major’s daughter m arried young WUbur Mlnofer the neighbors predicted that as Isabel could never really love WUbur all her love would be bestowed upon the children. There Is only one child, however, George Amberson Minafer, and his upbringing and his youthful accomplishments as a mischief m aker are quite In keeping with the most pessimistic predictions. By the time George goes away to college he does not attem pt to conceal his beUef that the Arobersons are about the most important family in the world. A t a ball given in his honor when he returns from coUege, George monopolizes Lucy Morgan, a stranger and the prettiest girl present, and gets on famously with her until he learns that a “queer looking duck” a t whom he had been poking much fun, Is the young lady’s father. He is Eugene Morgan, a former resident of Bigburg, and he is returning to erect a factory and to buUd horseless carriages of his own invention. Eugene had been an old. admirer of Isabel’s and they had been engaged when Isabel threw him over because of a youthful Indiscre­ tion and married W ilbur Minafer. George makes rapid progress in his courtship of Lucy. CHAPTER VI. The appearance of Miss Lncy Mor­ gan the next day; as she sat in George’s fast cutter, proved so charm­ ing that her escort was stricken to soft words instantly and failed to con­ trol a poetic impulse. “You look like—” he said. “Your face looks like—it looks Iikei a snowflake on a lump of coal. I mean a—a snowflake that would be a rose-leaf too!” “Perhaps you’d better look at the reins,” she returned. .“We almost up­ set just then.” George declined to heed this-advice. “Because there’s too much pink in your cheeks for a snowflake,” he con­ tinued. “What’s that fairy story about snow-white and rose-red—” “We’re going pretty fast, Mr. Mina- Xer I” “Well, you see, Pm only here for two weeks.” «1 mean the sleigh!” she explained. “We’re not the only people on the 6treet, you know.” “Oh, they’ll keep out of the way.” “That’s very patrician charloteeer- ing, hut it seems to me a horse like this needs guidance. Tm sure he’s going almost twenty miles an hour.” “That’s nothing,”, said George; hut 'he consented to look forward again. “He can trot under three minutes, all right" He laughed. “I suppose your father thinks he can build a horseless carriage to go that fast!” "They go that fast already, some­ times.” “Yes,"' said George; “they do—for -about a hundred feet I Then they give a yell and bum up.” Bvidenfly she decided not to defend her father’s faith in horseless car­ riages, -for she laughed and* said noth­ ing. The cold air was polka-dotted with snowflakes, and trembled to the loud, continuous jingling of sleigh- bells. Boys and girls, all aglow and panting jets of vapor, darted at the passing sleighs to ride on the runners, or sought to rope their sleds to any vehicle whatever, but the fleetest no more than just touched the flying cut­ ter, though a hundred soggy mittens grasped for it, then reeled and whirled till sometimes the wearers of those daring mittens plunged flat In the snow and lay a-sprawl, reflecting. But there came panting and chug­ ging up that flat thoroughfare^ a thing which some day was to spoil'all their sleigbtime merriment—save for the rashest and most disobedient. It was vaguely like a topless surrey, but cum­ brous with unwholesome excrescences fore and aft, while underneath were spinning leather belts and something that whirred and howled and seemed to stagger. The ride-stealers made no attempt to fasten their sleds to a con­ trivance so nonsensical and yet so fearsome. Instead they gave over their sport and concentrated all their ener­ gies in their lungs, so that up and down the street the one cry shrilled increasingly: “Git a hoss! Git a hoss I Gitahoss! Mister, why don’t you git a hoss?” But the mahout in charge, sitting solitary on the front seat, was unconcerned—he laughed, and now and then ducked a snowball without losing any of his good-naturp. It was Mr, Bugene Morgan who exhibited so cheerful a countenance between the forward visor of a deer-stalker cap and the collar of a fuzzy gray ulster. “Git a hoss!” the children shrieked, and gruffer voices jolAed them. “Git a hoss! Git a hoss I Git a hoss!” George Minafer was correct thus far; the twelve miles.au hour of such a machine would never overtake George’s trotter. The cutter was al­ ready scurrying between the stone pil- Iars at the entrance to Amberson ad­ dition. “That’s my grandfather’s,” said George, nodding toward the Amberson mansion. “I ought to know that!” Lucy ex­ claimed. “We stayed there late enough last night: papa and I were almost the last to go. He and your-mother and Mins Fanny Minnfcr got the mu slcians to play anothei* waltz when everybody else had gone downstairs and the Addles were being put away in their cases. Papa danced part of It with Miss Minafer and the rest with -■your mother. Miss Minafer’s your aunt, isn’t she?” “Yes; she lives with us. That's our house Just beyond grandfather’s," 'Be waved a sealskin gauntlet to indicate the house Major Amberson had built for Isabel as a wedding gift He frowned as they passed a closed car­ riage and pair. The body of this com­ fortable vehicle sagged slightly to one side; the paint was old and seamed with hundreds of minute cracks like little rivers on a black map; the coachman, a fat and elderly darky, seemed to drowse upon the box; but the open window afforded the occu­ pants of the cutter a glimpse of a tired, fine old face, 'a silk hat, a pearl tie and an astrachan collar, evidently out to take the air. “There’s your grandfather now," said Lucy. “Isn’t it?” -j George’s frown was not relaxed. “Yes, it is; and he ought to give that rat trap away and sell those old horses. They’re a disgrace, all shaggy —not even dipped." I suppose he doesn’t notice it—people 'get awful funny when they get old; they seem to lose their self-respect, sort of.” “He seemed a real Brummell to me,” she said. “Oh, he keeps up about what he wears, well enough, but— Another thing I don’t think he ought to allow: a good many people bought big lots and they built houses on ’em; then the price of the land kept getting higher, and they’d sell -part of their yards and let the people that bought it build on it to live In, till they haven’t hardly any of ’em got big, open yards any more, and it’s getting all built up. The way it used to be it was a gentleman’s country estate, and that’s the way my grandfather ought to keep it. He lets-these people take too many liberties: they do anything they want to.” “But how could he stop them?” Lucy asked, surely with reason. “If he sold them the land it’s theirs, isn’t it?” George remained serene in the face of this apparently dlfflcult' question. “He ought to have all the tradespeople boycott the families that sell part of their yards that way. AU he’d have to do would be to tell the tradespeople they wouldn’t get any more orders from the family if they didn’t do it.” “From ‘the famUy?’ What family?” “Our family," said George, unper­ turbed. “The Ambersons.” “I see!” she murmured, and evident­ ly she did see something that he did m “There's Your Grandfather Now,” Said Lucy. not, for, as she lifted her muff to her face he asked: “What are you laughing at now?” “Why?” “You always seem to have some little secret of your own to get happy over!" “ ‘Always!’” she exclaimed. “What a big word, when we only met last night!” “That’s another case of it,” he said, with obvious sincerity. "One of the reasons I don’t like you—much!—is you’ve got that way of. seeming qui­ etly superior to everybody else.” *11!” she cried. ."I have?” - “Oh, you tbinir you keep it sort of confidential t^ yourself, but it’s plain enough! I don’t believe in that kind of thing. I think the world’s Uke this: there’s a few people that their birth and position, and so on, puts them at the top, and they ought to treat each other entirely as .equals." His voice betrayed a little emotion as he added, "I wouldn’t speak like this to every­ body.” ‘Ton mean you’re confiding your deepest creed—or code, what ever it is—to me?” “Go .on; make fun of it, then!” George said bitterly. “You do think you’re terribly clever! It makes me tired I” “Well, as you don’t Uke my seeming ‘quietly superior,’ after this I’ll be nois­ ily superior,” she returned cheerfuUy. “We aim to please!" “I had a notion before I came for you today that we were going to quar­ rel,” he said. “No, we won’t; it takes two!” She laughed and waved her muff toward a new house, not quite completed, stand­ ing in a field upon their right. They had passed beyond Ambersoif addition and were leaving the northern fringes of the town for the open country. “Isn’t that a beautiful house!” she ex­ claimed. “Papa and I caU it our Beau­ tiful House.” George was not pleased. “Hoes It belong to you?” ,. “Of course not! Papa brought me out here the other day, driving in his machine, and we both loved/it. It’s so spacious and dignified and plain." “Yes, it’s plain enough!” George grunted. “Yet it’s lovely; the gray-green roof and-, shutters. give just enough color, with the trees, for the long white walls. It seems to be the finest house I’ve seen in this part of the country.” George was outraged by an enthu­ siasm so ignorant—not ten minutes ago they had passed Ihe- Amberson mansion. “Is that a sample of your taste In architecture?” he asked. “Yes. Why?” “Because it strikes me you better go somewhere and study the subject a little!” Lucy looked puzzled. “What makes you have so much feeling about it? Have I offended you?” “ ‘Offended’ nothing!” George re­ turned brusquely. “Girls usually think they know it all as soon as they’ve learned to dance and dress and flirt a little. They never know any­ thing about things like architecture, for instance. That house was about as bum a house as any house I ever saw!” , He spoke of it In the past tense, be­ cause they had now left it far behind them—a human habit of curious sig­ nificance. “It was like a house meant for a street in the city: What kind of a house was that for people of any taste to build out here In the coun­ try?” “But papa says it’s built that way on purpose. There are a lot of other houses being built in this direction, and papa says the city’s coming out this way; and in a year or two that house will be right In town.” “It was a bum house, anyhow,” said George crossly. “I don’t even know the people that are'building it. They say a lot of riffraff comb to town every year nowadays and there’s other riff­ raff that have always lived here, and have made a little money, and act as if they owned the place. Uncle Syd­ ney was talking about it yesterday: he says he and some of his friends are organizing a country club, and already, some of these riffraff are worming into it—people he never heard of at all! Anyhow I guess it’s pretty clear you don’t know a great deal about archi­ tecture.” She demonstrated the completeness of her amiability by laughing. “I’ll- know something about the north pole before' long,” she said, “if we keep going much farther In this direction!” At this he was remorseful. “AU right; we’ll turn and drive south awhile UU you get warmed up again. I expect we have been going against the* wind about long enough.- Indeed, Tm sorry!” He said, “Indeed, I’m sorry,” in. a nice way, and looked very strikingly handsome when ’ he said it, she thought.. No doubt it is true that there is more rejoicing In heaven over one sinner repented than over all the saints who consistently' remain holy, and the rare, sudden gentlenesses of arrogant people have Infinitely more effect than the continual gentleness of gentle people. Arrogance turned gentle melts the heart; and Lucy gave her companion a little sidelong, sunny nod of acknowledgment.. George was dazzled by the quick glow of her eyes, and found himself at a loss for some­ thing to say. Having turned about he kept his horse to a walk, and at this gait the sleighbelis tinkled but lfltermittently. The snow no longer fell, and far ahead, In a grayish cloud that lay upon the land, was the town. Lucy looked at this distant thicken­ ing reflection. “When we get this far out we can see there must be quite a little smoke hanging over the town,” she said. "I suppose that’s because it’s growing. As it grows bigger it seems to get ashamed of itself, so it maires this doud and hides in it. Papa says it used to be a bit nicer when he lived here : he always speaks of it differently—he always has a gentle look, a particular tone of voice, Tve noticed. ‘ He must have been very fond of i t Froifa the way he talks you’d-; think life' here then was just one long midsummer serenade. He declares it was always ,!sunshiny, that the air wasn’t like the' air anywhere else—that, as he remembers it, there always seemed to be gold dust In the air. I doubt it I I think it doesn't seem to be duller air to him now just on account of having a little soot in it sometimes, but probably because he was twenty years younger then. It seems to me the gold dust ho thinks was here is just his being young that he I remembers. - I think it was just youth. It is pretty pleasant to be young, isn’t it?" “You’re a funny girl,” George said gently. “But your voice sounds pretty nice when you think and talk along to­ gether like that!” The horse shook himself all over, and the impatient sleighbelis made his wish audible. Accordingly George tightened the reins, and the cutter was off again at a three-minute trot, no despicable rate of speed. It was not long before they were again passing Lucy’s Beautiful House, and here George thought fit to put an appendix to his remark. “You’re a funny girl, and you know a lot—but I don’t be­ lieve you know much about architec­ ture!” ( Coming toward them, black against the snowy road, was a strange silhou­ ette, It approached moderately and without visible means of progression, so the matter seemed from a distance; but as the cutter shortened the dis­ tance the silhouette was revealed to be Mr. Morgan’s horseless carriage, con­ veying four people atop: Mr. Morgan with George’s mother beside him, and, in the rear seat, Miss Fanny Minafer and the Hon. George Amberson. All four seemed to be In the liveliest hu­ mor, like high-spirited people upon a new adventure; and Isabel waved her handkerchief dashingly as the cutter flashed by them. “For 'the Lord’s sake!” George gasped. “Your mother’s a dear,” said Lucy. “And she does wear the most bewitch­ ing things! She looked like a Russian princess, though I doubt if they’re that handsome." George said nothing; he drove on till they bad crossed Amberson addi­ tion and reached the stone pillars at the head of National avenue. There he turned. “Let’s go back and take another look at' that old sewing machine," he said. “It certainly is the weirdest, cra­ ziest—” He left the sentence unfinished, and presently they were again in sight of the old sewing machine. George shout­ ed mockingly. Alas! three figures stood in the road, and a pair of legs with the toes turned up Indicated that a fourth figure lay upon its back in the snow, beneath a horseless carriage that had decided to need a horse. George became vociferous with laughter, and coming up to his trot­ ter’s best gait, snow spraying from runners and every hoof, swerved to the side of the road and shot by shout­ ing, “Git a hoss! Glt a hoss! Git a hoss!” Three hundred yards away he turned and came back, racing; leaning out as he passed, to wave jeeringly at the group about the disabled machine: “Git a boss’! .Git a hoss! Git a—” • The trotter had broken into a gallop, and Lucy cried a warning: "Be care­ ful!” she said. “Look where you’re driving! There’s a ditch on that side. Look—” George turned too late; the cutter’s right runner went into the ditch and snapped off; the little sleigh upset, and,, after dragging its occupants some fifteen yards, left them lying together In a bank of snow.*/Then the vigorous young horse kicked himself free of all annoyances and ,disappeared down the road, galloping cheerfully. CHAPTER VII. ■When George regained some meas­ ure of his presence of mind Miss Lucy Morgan’s cheek, snowy and cold, was pressing his nose' slightly to one side; and a monstrous amount of. her fur boa seemed to mingle' with an equally qfaplausible quantity of snow in his mouth. He was confused, but con­ scious of no ,objection to any of. these juxtapositions. She w^s apparently uninjured, for jshe sat up, hatless, her hair-down, ana said mildly': “Good heavens!” Though her father had been under his machine when they passed, he was the first to reach them. He threw himself on his knees beside his daugh­ ter, but found her already laughing, and was reassured. -“They’r e ’'all right,” he called to Isabel, Who was running toward them, aheaq of her brother and Fanny Minafer. “This snowbank's a feather bed—nothing the matter with them at all. Don’t look so pale!” . “Georgia!” she gasped. “Georgie!” Georgie was on his feet, snow all over him. “Don’t make a fuss, mother! Noth­ ing’s the matter. That darned silly horse—” Sudden tears stood in Isabel's eyes. lTo see you down underneath—drag­ ging—oh!—” Then with SiiaiHng hands she began to brush the snow from him. “Let me alone,” he protested. “You’ll ruin your gloves. YoiUVa getting snow all over you, and—” . “No, no!” she cried. “You’ll catch cold; you mustn’t catch cold.!” And she continued to-brush , him. Amberson had brought Lucy's hat; Miss Fanny acted as lady’s maid; and both victims of the accident, were presently restored to about their usual appearance add condition of apparel. In fact, encouraged by the two older gentlemen, the entire party, with one exception, decided that the episode was after all a merry one, and began to laugh about it. But George was glummer than the December twilight now iwiffly closing in. “That darned horse!” he said. ’ ‘JI wouldn’t bother about Pendennis, Georgie,” said his uncle. “You can send a man out for what’s left of the cutter tomorrow, and Pendennis will gallop home to his'stable: he’ll be [ there a long while before we will, be- : cause all we’ve got to depend on to get us home is Gene Morgan’s broken- down chafing dish yonder.” They were approaching the machine as he spoke, and his friend, again un­ derneath it, beard him. He emerged, smiling. ‘‘She’ll go,” he said. “What!” “AU aboard!” ,He offered his aand to Isabel. She was ,smiling but still pale, and her eyes, in 'spite'of the smile, kept upon George in a shocked anxiety. Miss Fanny had already mounted to the rear seat, and George, after helping Lucy. Morgan to climb up beside his aunt, was fOUpwing. Isabel saw that his shoes were light things of patent I "Good Heavens!” leather, and that'snow was clinging to them. She made a little rush toward him, and, as one of his feet rested on the iron step of the machine, in mounting, she began to dean the snow from his shoe with^her almost aerial lace handkerchief. “You mustn’t catch cold!” she cried. “Stop that!” George shouted, and furiously withdrew his foot “For heaven’s .sake get in! You’re stand­ ing in the snow yourself. Get in I”. ’ Isabel consented, turning to Morgan, whose habitual expression of appre­ hensiveness was somewhat accentu­ ated. He climbed up after her, George Amberson having gone to the other side. “You’re the same Isabel I used to know!” he said In a low voice. “You’re a divinely ridiculous woman.” “Am I, Eugene?” she said, not dis­ pleased. “-‘Divinely’ and ‘ridiculous’ just counterbalance each other, don’t they? Plus one and minus one equal nothing; so you mean Tm nothing in particular?” “No,” he answered, tugging at a lever. “That doesn’t seem to be pre­ cisely what I meant. There!” This exclamation referred to- the subterra­ nean machinery,. for dismaying-sounds came from beneath the floor, and the vehicle plunged, then rolled noisily forward. “Behold!” Georgb Amberson ex­ claimed. “She does move! It must be another accident.” __ “ ‘Accident?’ ” Morgan shouted oyer the din. “No! She breathes, she stirs; she seems to feel a thrill of life along her keel!” And he began to sang “The Star Spangled-Banner.” Amberson joined him lustily, and sang on when Morgan , stopped. His nephew, behind, was gloomy. He had overheard his mother’s conversation with the invented: it seemed curious to him that thi&Morgan, of whom he had rnever heat'd until last night, should be using-the name “Isabel” so easily; and George felt that it was not just the thing for his mother to call Morgan “Eugene;” the resentment of the previous night came upon George again. . Meanwhile 'this mother and Morgan continued their talk; but he could no longer -hear what they said; the noise of the car and his uncle’s songful mood prevented.- He marked how animated Isabel seemed; it was not strange to see his mother so gay.. but it was strange that a man not of the family should be the cause of hefa gayety. And; George sat frowning. Lucy turned to him. “You tried to swing underneath me and break nhe fall for me when we went over,” she said. “I knew you were (doing tbaV, and—it was nice of you.” “Wasn’t any fall to speak of,” he returned brusquely. “Couldn’t have hurt either of us.” “Still it was friendly of you—and awfully qfaick, too. I’ll not—Tl! not forget it!” Her voice had a sound of genuine­ ness, very pleasant: and George be­ gan to forget his ■ annoyance^with her father. This annoyance of his had not been alleviated by the that neither of the 7 citcWiist, three people, but when 61W ? spoke thus gratefulI^, h^ minded the crowrtin In! pleased him so much & ! wish the old sewing even slower. George ^ ^ a dressed Lucy h u rried ly ^ '1 « ulously, speaking Closeto^ 0stC “I forgot to te.1 you’re pretty nice!

I ought to hat, seen it from the first!” Lucy bore her disgrace lightly. “Oi dancing a cotillion with a person doesn’t mean that you like him—bat I don’t see anything in particular the matter with Mr. Kinney. What isP “I prefer not to diseass it,” sail George curtly. “He’s In enemy ot mind” “Why?” “I prefer not to discus I it.” “Well, but—” • “I prefer not to discuns it!” “Very well.” She begin to hum to air of the song which M:. GeorgeAa- berson was now discourliing, ”0 moon of my delight that ki Joris nowane’’- and there was no fur-!her conversation on the' back seat. The contrivance -Itobped with t heart-shaking jerk bffore Isabel’s house. The gentleman Jumped down, helping Isabel and Film y to descend; there were friendly ItaMetakings-and one that was not prei JsWiy friendly. “It’s ‘au revoir’ till tonight, isn’tltP Lucy asked, laughing. “Good afternoon!’’ EairA George, and he did not wait, as hl’l relatives did, to see the old sewing mf (chine start brisk- Iy down the street, toward the Shar- ons’; its lighter load consisting now of only Mr. Morgan ijnd his daughter. George went into thi bouse at once. He found his father reading the evening paper in the library. "Where are your mother and your Aunt Fan­ ny?” Mr. Minafer in luired, not loot­ ing up. , “They’re coming," sIticl his son; and, casting himself heavily into a chair, stared at the fire. His prediction wat verified a few moments later; the I !wo ladies came In cheerfully, unfastening' their for cloaks. “It’s all righ j, Georgie," said IsabeL “Your Uncle George called to us that Pendennis gbt home safely. Put your shoes close to the fire, dear, or else go and chnng! them.” "Look here,” said George abruptly. “How about this man Morgan and Mi old sewing machine? Do-sn’t he want to get grandfather t< pul: money into it? Isn’t he trying to work Uncle George for that? Isr it that what Del «P to?”It was Miss Fannj who respondeo. “You little silly!” shn cried, with sur­ prising sharpness. ‘What on ear are. you talking aboul?

TJgh! Calomel makes you sick. It’s horrible! Take a dose of the dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a day’s work. Calomel Is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking It up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you are slug­ gish and “all knocked out," if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache; dizziness, coat­ ed tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s Idver Tone tonight. Here’s my guarantee—Go to any drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s Diver Tone for a few cents. Take a spoonful and if it doesn’t straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dod son’s Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel' because it is real Uver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it cannot salivate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson’s Liver- Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and consti­ pated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson s Liver Tone will keep your entire fam­ ily feeling fine for months. Give It to your children. It Is harmless; doesn’t gripe and they like its pleasant taste.

OLD AGE STARTS WITH YOUR KIDNEYS ' Sdence says that old age begins with weakened kidneys and digestive organs.

John Robinson’s Largest and Best, is Headed This Way for Exhibitions at Statesville. Unusual interest centers in the approaching visit of the John Robin­ son Circus to Statesville on Wednes. day, Sept. 24. For 95 cosecutive years, this “white top” organization has suc­ cessfully stood the “acid test’’ of .public inspection and approval and today its hold on the affections pf the American amusement public is too well established for any rival tented exhibition to in any way im­ pair the enviable position it unshak- ably occupies in the circus fan’s es­ teem. This season the “outfit” has been greatly increased over previous years, the big tent has been enlarged to acomodate three rings, two stages and the largest covered race track ever used by a circus, also it bas a seating capacity for ten thousand spectators. There is said to be a wonderful program embracing many of the big European features, at present so­ journing in America for obvious rea sons, and which highly munificent offers of previous years had never heretofore induced to cross the ocean This year’s array of acts comprises a large, percentage of for­ eign arena top-notchers. The menagerie has also been in­ creased in the same ratio as the “big top,” and embraces the biggest herd of elephants ever seen with any circus, as well as a jungle nursery of wild animal infants, which includes “Congo,” the baby Hippopotamus, purchased from the" Central. Park zoo. New York City, and which cre­ ated such a sensation in the metro­ politan papers. “W.S-S.” School News. The student body of the Mocksville High School and the seventh grade met Friday.

Frank T. Hines, di rector of transportation in the war department, and Lord Beading, representing the British govern­ ment. Secretary Baker, it was learned today, has -approved the agree ment, which fixes a price a little more than hall that tentatively put forward by Mie British at the be ginning'of the negotiations. The total cost of the British ton- nage used in troop transportation is estimated at §83,757,250 the number of men carried having been 1,027,000. Similar neguti ations are in progress with the French and other governuieu's. If your house catches on lire, would we think of charging our neighbor and friends transportation charges, were we to send for them in trucks to come to our aid! King Edward cabled for troops. Presi dent Wilson replied that we were sending thein as rapidly as possi ble. King Edward sent ships to hasten the transportation of troops to save England irbiu defeat by Germany.

Thetractor demonstration given Thursday on the Eatin farm by C. C. Sanford Sons Co , drew a large number of farmers and others to the scene of action. Five Fordson trac­ tors were used in the demoustration, together with mould board and disc plowing, disc harrowing, soil pulver­ izers, .and grain drills. When the powerful tractors had gone over the fields they were in first class shape for planting. - The ground was very hard and dry but the blows ahd bar­ rows put it in fine shape, not a clod being left. When tne noon hour ar­ rived a fine dinner was served near the scene of action, consisting of barbecue, ham sandwiches, cold drinks, etc - The demonstration was in charge of Mr S. A.

A large number of Ford- son tractors have been sold to farm­ ers in various sections of the coun­ ty, and as a result of this demon­ stration many more of these up-to- date machines will be sold.

S.” Statement By Prof. Richardson. For the information of the public, «s- peci:,!ly the parents of school children, I wish to make a few explanations.. The school faculty, with the encourage­ ment of the .Trustees, has endeavored so far this year to organize'the curricula ahd rearrange the coursesf-tbe high school department that within two school years the High School may bfe put on the State accredited list. This could not be done without a number of readjustments. U' der the new law recently enacted by the State Legislature, High Schools' are divided into Class A and Class B. The requirements of Class A are: I. A good four year course. 2. Three full-time teachers. 3. Forty minute class periods 4. Fifteen units of work. 5. A nine- months terms. 6. A good library. 7. A good ,laboratory. 8. Adequate buildings We now have met all these rdquire- ments except the three last named. It is our purpose to now obtain, the li­ brary. and we hope to have a creditable school library within a few weeks. With the present buflding facilities, the Iuboratory is an ' impossibility. Conse­ quently before the full purpose can be attained additional room must be provid­ ed and, judging by the spirit thus far shown by the board of trustees, the sen­ timent of this town will not be against it when the time is ripe.

By the time George goes away to college he does not attem pt to conceal his belief that the Ambersons are about the most Important family in the world. At a bail given In Ws honor when he returns from college, George monopolizes Lucy Morgan, a stranger and the prettiest girl present, and getson famously with her until., he learns that a "queer looking duck” a t whom he had been poking much fun, is tlie young lady’s father. He is Eugene Morgan, a former resident of Bigburg1 and he is returning to erect a factory and to build horseless carriages of his own invention. Eugene had been an old admirer of Isabel’s and they had been engaged when Isabel threw him over because of a youthful Indiscre­ tion and married Wilbur Minafer. George makes rapid progress in his courtship of Lucy. CHAPTER VII—Continued. He groaned faintly. “Aren’t your !brother and Georgie escorts enough Ifor vou and Fanny?” -Wouldn't you enjoy It at all?” ••you know I don’t.” Isabel let her hand remain upon Ijij3 shoulder a moment longer; she !stood behind him, looking Into the fire, !George, watching her broodingly, I thought there was more color In her Iface than the reflection of the flames Igccounted for. “Well, then,” she said !indulgently, “stay a t home and be I “We Won’t Urge You If You'd Really Rather Not.” I happy. We won’t urge you tf you’d I really rather not.” “I really ^wouldn’t,” he said conteht- | edly. Half an hour later George was pass- I tag through the upper hall, in a bath­ robe stage of preparation for the eve­ ning’s gayeties, when he encountered his Aunt Fanny. He stopped her. I “Look here!" he said. “What in the world is the matter [with you?" she demanded, regarding him with little amiability. ‘ “Ton look I as if you were rehearsing for a villain [ In a play.” His expression gave no sign of [yielding to the request; on the con­ trary, its somberness deepened. “I suppose you don’t know why father doesn’t want to go tonight,” he said I solemnly. “He never wants to go anywhere [that I ever henrd of,” said Fanny. ] “What is the matter with you?” "He doesn’t want to go because he I doesn't like this man Morgan. Look [here, what makes you and—and ev- [ erybody so excited over him ?” “‘Excited!’" she jeered. “Can’t [People be glad to see an old friend [without silly children like you having Ho make a to-do about it?

I mttlni*5 mg t0 lnSinuate that you’re' I ^our cap at him and getting mother to help you? Is that what you mean?” Beyond a doubt that was what Miss Fanny meant. She gave him a white- hot look. “You attend to your own affairs!” she whispered fiercely, and swept away. George, dumfounded, returned to his room for meditation. ' He had lived for years in the same house with his Aunt Fanny, and it now appeared that during all those years he had been thus intimately as­ sociating with a. total stranger. Never before had he met the passionate lady with whom he had just held a conversation In the hall. So she want­ ed to get married! And wanted George’s mother to help her with this horseless-carriage widower I “Well, I will be shot!” he muttered aloud. “I well—I certainly will be shot.” And he began to laugh. "Lord ’lmighty!” But presently, at the thought of the horseless-carriage widower’s daugh­ ter, his grimness returned, and he re­ solved upon a line of conduct for the evening. He would nod to her care­ lessly when he first saw her; and after that • be would notice her no more: he would not dance with her; he would not favor her in the cotil­ lion—he would not go near her! . . . He descended to dinner upon the third urgent summons of the col­ ored butler, having spent two hours dressing—and rehearsing.***».«** The Hon. George Ainberson was a congressman who led cotillions—the sort of congressman an Amberson would be. He did; it negligently to­ night, yet with infallible dexterity, now and then, glancing humorously at the spectators, people of his own age. Georgie had carried out his re­ hearsed projects with precision, He had given Miss Morgan a nod studied into perfection during his lengthy toi­ let before dinner. “Oh, yes, I do seem to remember that curious little outsider!” this nod seemed to say. Thereafter all cognizance of her evap­ orated : the curious little outsider was permitted no further existence worth the struggle. Nevertheless she flashed In the corner of his eyes too often. She seemed to be having a “wonder­ ful time!” ” An unbearable soreness accumulat­ ed In his chest: his dislike of-the girl and her conduct increased until he thought of leaving this sickening As­ sembly and going home to bed. That would show her! But just then he henrd her laughing and decided that It wouldnit show her. So he remained. When the young couples seated themselves In chairfi against the walls round three sides of the room for the cotillion George joined a brazen-faced group clustering about the doorway— youths with no partners, yet eligible to be “called out” and favored. He marked that his uncle placed the In­ fernal Kinney and Miss Morgan, as the leading couple, In the first chairs at the head of the line upon the lead­ er’s right; and this disloyalty on the part of TJncle George was Inexcusable, for in the family circle the nephew had often expressed his opinion of Fred Kinney. In his bitterness George uttered a significant monosyllable. The music flourished, whereupon Mr. Kinney, Miss Morgan and six of their neighbors rose and waltzed, knowingly. Mrv Amberson’s whistle blew; then the eight young people went to the favor table and were given toys and trinkets wherewith to delight-the new partners It was now their privilege to select. George strolled with a bored air to the tropical grove, where sat his eld­ ers, and seated himself beside his Uncle Sydney. • His mother leaned across Miss Fanny, raising her voice over the music to speak to him. “Georgie, nobody will be able to see you here. You’ll not be favored. You ought to be where you can dance." “Don’t care to,” he returned. “Bore!” “But you ought—” She stopped and laughed, waving her fan- to direct his . attention behind him. “Look? Over your shoulder.!” He turned and discovered Miss Lucy ,Morgan In the act of offering him a purple toy balloon. “I found you!” she'laughed. George was' startled. “Well—” he said. .“Would you rather ‘sit It out?"? Lucy askeA quickly as he did not move. “I don’t care to dance if you—” ' “No,” he said, rising. “It would be better dance." His tone was sol­ emn, and. solemnly he. departed with her from the grcive. Solemnly he danced with her. Four times, with not the slightest encouragement, she brought him a favor: four- times in succession. When the fourth came, “Look here!” said George huskily. “You going ~to keep this up all night? What do you mean by-it?” For an instant she seeemed con­ fused. “That’s what cotillions are for, aren’t they?” she murmured. “What do you mean: what they’re for?” “So that a girl can dance with a person she wants to?” George’s huskiness increased. “Well, do you mean you—you want to dance with me all the time—all evening?” “Well, this much of it—evidently!” she laughed. > "Is it because you want -to even things up for making me angry—I mean for hurting my feelings ^on the way home?” With her eyes averted—for girls of nineteen can be as shy as boys,, sometimes—she said, “Well—you only got angry because I couldn’t dance the cotillion with you.- I - I didn’t feel terribly hurt with you for getting angry about that!” “Was there' any other reason? Did my telling you I liked you have any­ thing to do with it?” She looked up gently and as George met her eyes, something exquisitely touching yet ^queerly delightful gave him a catch in the throat. She looked instantly away, and, turning, ran out from the palm grove, where they stood, to the dancing floor. “Come on!” she cried.' “Let’s dance!’ I’ He followed her. “See here—I—I—" he stammered. “You mean— Do you—” siNo, no” she laughed. “Let’s dance!” He put his arm about her almost tremulously and. they began to wait*. It was a happy dance for both of them. ******* Christmas day is the children’s, but the/ holidays are youth’s dancing time. The holidays belong to the early twenties and the -’teensi home from school and college. It is the liveliest time In life, the. happiest Qf the irresponsible times In life. Moth­ ers echo its happiness—nothing Is like a mother who has a son home from college, except another mother with a son home from college. Xet they give up their sons to the daugh­ ters of - other mothers, and find it proud rapture enough to be allowed to sit and watch. ' - Thus Isabel watched George and Lucy dancing as together they -danced away the holidays of that year Into the past. “They seem to get along better than they did at first, those two children," Fanny Minafer said, sitting beside her at the Sharons’ dance a week after the Assembly. “They seemed, to be always having little quarrels- of some sort at first. At least George "I Pound You!” She Laughed. did: he seemed to be continually pecking at that lovely, dainty Uttle Lucy, and'being cross with her over nothing.” “ ‘Pecking?’ ” Isabel laughed. “What a word to iise about GeorgieI, I think I never knew a more angelically amiable disposition In iny life!” Miss Fanny echoed her sister-in- law’s laugh, but it was a rueful echo, and not sweet.“He’s amiable to you!” she said. ‘.!That’s all the side of him you ever happen to see. And why wouldn’t he be amiable to anybody that simply fell down and worshiped him every minute of - her .life? Most of iis would!” “Isn’t he worth worshiping? Just look at him!” “Oh, I’m not going to argue with you about George!” said Miss Fanny. ‘Tm fond enough of him, for that matter. He can be charming, and he’s certainly stunning looking, if only—” “Let the ‘if only’, go, dear,” Isabel suggested good-naturedly. “Let’s talk about that dinner you thought I should—”' “I?” Miss Fanny interrupted quick­ ly. “Didn’t you want to give it your­ self?” “Indeed I did, my dear!” said Isa­ bel heartily. “I only meant that un­ less you hAd proposed it perhaps I wouldn’t—” But Ijere Eugene came for her to dance, and she left the sentence un­ completed. Holiday dances can be happy for youth renewed as well as for youth In bud—and yet it was not with the -air of a rival that Miss Fanny watched her brother’s wife dancing with the widower. Miss Fanny’s eyes narrowed a little, but only as if her mind engaged in a hope­ ful calculation.. She looked pleased. V CHAPTER VIII. A few days after George’s return to the university It became evident that not . quite everybody had gazed with complete benevolence upon the various young collegians at their holiday sports. The Sunday edition of the principal morning paper even expressed some bitterness under the heading, “Gilded Youths of the Fin- de-Siecle”—this was considered the knowing phrase of the time, espe­ cially for Sunday supplements—and there is no doubt that from certain references in this bit of writing some people drew the conclusion that Mr. George Amberson -Minafer had not yet got his come-upance, a postpone­ ment still irritating. Undeniably Fanny Minafer was one of the people who drew this conclusion, for. she cut the article out and Inclosed It in a letter to her nephew, having written on the border of the clipping, “I won­ der whom it din mean I” George read part of it: We debate sometimes what Is to bp the future of this nation when we think that In a few years public affairs may be In the i hands of the fin-de-slecle gilded youths we see about us during the Christ­ mas holidays. Such foppery, such luxury, such insolence was surely never prac­ ticed by the scented, overbearing patri­cians of the Palatine, even In Rome’s most decadent epoch. W ith his airs of young milord, his fast horses, his gold and sliver cigarette cases, his clothes from, a New Torlc tailor, his recklessness of money showered upon him by Indulgent mothers or doting grandfathers, he re­ spects nothing and nobody.’ He is blase, if you please. W atch him a t a social function, how condescendingly he deigns to select a partner for the popular waltz or two-step; how carelessly he shoulders older people out of his way, with what a blank stare he returns the salutations of some old acquaintance whom he may choose in his royal whim to forget!One wonders what has come over the new generation. Of such as these the re­public was not made. When we coitipare the young manhood of Abraham Lincoln with the specimens we are now producing we see; too well. that It bodes Ul for tfii twentieth century— George yawned and tossed the clip­ ping into his waste basket, wondering why his aunt thought such dull non­ sense worth the sending. As for her insinuation, penciled upon the border, he supposed she meant to joke—a sup­ position which neither surprised him nor altered his lifelong opinion of her wit. : ,He read her letter with more in­ terest: . . -. The dinner yotir mother gave for the" Morgans was a lovely affair. It was last Monday evening, just ten days after you left. It was appropriate that your mother, herself an old friend, should as­semble a representative selection of Mr. Morgan’s old friends around him at such a time. He was in great spirits and most entertaining. He will soon begin to build his factory here for the manufacture of automobiles, w hich' he says is a term he prefers to "horseless carriages.” Tour Uncle George told me he would like to Invest in . this factory, as George thinks there is a fu ture for automobiles; perhaps not for gen­ eral use, but as an interesting novelty, which people with sufficient means would like to own for their amusement and the sake of variety. However, he said Mr. Morgan laughingly declined his offer, as Mr. M. was fully able to finance this ven­ ture, though not starting in a very large way. Tour uncle said other people are manufacturing automobiles In different parts of the country with success. Tour father Is not very well, though he is not actually ill, and the doctor tells him he ought not to be so much at his office, as the long years of .application indoors with no exercise are beginning to affect him unfavorably, but I believe your father would die if he had to give up his work, which is all that has ever interested him outside of his family. I never could un­ derstand i t llr. Morgan took your mother and me with Lucy to see Mod- Jeska in "TwelftlfNIght" yesterday eve­ ning, and Lucy said she thought the duke looked rather like you, only much more democratic In: his m anner.. Hoping that you are finding college -still as attractive as ever,. \ Affectionately, - AUNT FANNT. George read one sentence in this letter several times. Then he dropped the missive in his' waste -basket to join the clipping,' and strolled- down the corridor of his dormitory to bor­ row a copy of "Twelfth Night” Hav­ ing secured one he returned to his study and refreshed his memory of the play—but recefved no enlighten-, ment that enabled him to comprehend Lucy’s strange remark. However, he found himself impelled in the direc­ tion of correspondence, and presently wrote a letter—not a reply. to his Aunt Fanny. Dear Lucy: No doubt you will be sur­ prised at hearing from me so soon again; especially as this makes two in answer to the one received from you since getting back to the old place. I hear you have been making comments about me at the theater, that some actor was more demo­ cratic in his manners than I am, which I do not understand. Tou know my theory o f life because I explained it to you on our first drive together, when I told you I would not. talk to everybody about things I feel like the way I spoke to you of my Uieory of life, I believe those who are able should have a true theory of life, and I developed, my theory of life long, long ago. Well, here I sit smoking my faithful briar pipe, indulging in the fragrance of my tabac as I look jm t on the campus from my many-paned'window, and things are different with me from the way they were way back In freshman year. I can see now how boyish in many ways I was then. I believe what has changed, me as much as anything was my visit home at the time I met you. So I sit here with my faithful briar and dream the old. dreams over as it were; dreaming of the waltzes we waltzed together and of that last night before we parted, and you told me the good- news you were going to live there, and I would find my friend waiting for me when I get home next summer.I will be glad my friend will be waiting for me. I am not capable of friendship except for the very few, and, looking back over my life, I remember there were times when I doubted if I could feel a great friendship for anybody—especially girls. Here In the old place. I do not believe In being hail-fellow-well-met with every Tom, Dick and H arry Just because he happens to be a classmate any more than I do at home, where I have always been careful who I was seen with, largely, on account of the-fam ily, but also because my disposition ever since my boyhood has been to encourage real Intimacy from but the few. From several letters from my mother, and one from Aunt Fanny I hear you are seeing a good deal of the family since I left. I hope sometimes you think of th$~ member who is . absent. I got a silver frame for your photograph In New Tork, and I keep It on my desk. . It is the only girl’s photograph I ever took the trouble to have framed, though, as I told you frankly, I have had any number of other girls’ photographs, yet all were only pass­ ing fancies, and oftentimes I have-ques­ tioned In years past If I was capable of much friendship toward the feminine sex, which I usually found shallow until our own friendship began. When I look a t your photograph I say to myself, "At last,- at, last here is one that will not prove shallow.” Friend, this Is from your friend, G. A. M. George’s anticipations were not dis­ appointed. When he came home In June his friend was awaiting him; at least she was so pleased to see him again that for a few minjites after their first encounter she was a little breathless, and a great deal glowing,’ and. quiet, withal. Lucy and her father were living at the Amberson hotel, while Morgan got his small machine shops built in a western outsklrt of the town; and George grumbled about the shabbi- ness and the old-fashioned look of the hotel, though it was “still the best in the place, of course.” He remon­ strated with his grandfather, declar­ ing that the whole Amberson Estate would be getting "run down and out at heel if things weren’t taken in hand pretty soon:” He urged the general need of rebuilding, renovat­ ing, varnishing and lawsuits. But the Major, declining to hear him out, in­ terrupted querulously,..SSiyiBg-that he' had enough to bother him without .any advice from George; and retired to his library, going so far as to lock the door audibly.'. ' “Second childhood!” George mut­ tered, shaking his head; and he thought sadly thaf the Major had not long to live. However, this surmise depressed him for only a moment or so. Of course people couldn’t be ex­ pected to live forever, and it would be a good thing to have someone in charge of the Estate who wouldn’t let it get to looking so rusty that riff­ raff dared to make fun of it For George had lately undergone the an­ noyance of calling upon the Morgans, in the rather stuffy, red velours and gilt parlor of their apartment at 'the hotel, one evening when Mr. Fred­ erick Kinney also was a caller, and Mr. Kinney had not been tactful. In fact, though he adopted a humorous tone of voice in expressing sympathy for people jvho, through the city’s poverty In hotels, were obliged to stay at the Amberson, Mr. Kinney’s Intention was interpreted by_ -the other visitor'&s not at all. humorous, but on the contrary, personal and of­ fensive. j George rose abruptly, his face the color of wrath. “Good night,. Miss Morgan. Good night, Mr. Morgan. I shall take pleasure in calling at some other time when a more courteous sort of people may be pr.esent” ' “Look here!” the hot-headed Fred burst out “Don’t you try to mate me out a boor, George Mitfafer! I wasn’t, hinting anything at you ; I simply for­ got all about your grandfather own­ ing this old building. Don’t you try to put me in the light of a boor I I won’t—” \ 'But George walked out in the very course of his vehement protest, and it was necessarily left unfinished. ' . Mr. Kiniiey remained only a few moments, after George’s departure;: and as the door closed upon him the distressed Lucy turned to her father. She was plaintively surprised to find h|n» In a v condition of immoderate | hiiighter. . - . I .“It brings th'ngs pack so!” he managed to explain. “This very Fred Kinney’s father and young George’s fntherj Wilbur .Minafer, used to ,do just such things when they were at that age—and, ,for that matter, so did George’Amberson and I, and all the rest of us!” And in spite of his ex­ haustion, he began to imitate: “ ‘Don’t you try to put me in the light of a boor!’ ‘I shall take pleasure in call­ ing at some time when a more cour­ teous sort of people—’ ” He was un­ able to go on. “Papa, I-think they were -shocking. Weren’t they awful!” . "Just-rjust boys!” he moaned, wip­ ing his eyes. But Lucy could not smile at all; she' was beginning to look indignant. “I'' can forgive that poor Fred Kinney,” she said. “He’s just blundering—but George—oh, , George behaved out­ rageously !” She came and sat upon the arm of Iiis chair. “Papa, why should George behave like that?” . “He's sensitive.” “Rather! But why is he? He does, anything he likes to,, without any re­ gard for what people think. - Then a "Good Night, Mlss Morgan.” why should he mind so furiously when the -least little thing, reflects upon. him, or on anything or anybody con­ nected with him?” Eugene patted her hand. “That’a one of the greatest puzzles of human vanity, dear; and I don't pretend to know Ihe answer. In all my life the most arrogant people that I’ve known have been the most sensitive. The people who have done the most in contempt of /Other people’s opinion, and who consider themselves the highest , above it have been the most furious if it went against them. Ar­ rogant and domineering people can’t stand the least, lightest, faintest breath of 'criticism. It just kills them.” ■' “Papa, do you think George Is ter­ ribly arrogant and domineering?” "Oh, he’s still only a boy,” said Eu­ gene consolingly. “There’s plenty of fine stuff In him—can’t help but be, because he’s Isabel Amberson’s son." Lucy stroked his hair, which was still almost as dark as her own. "Yon liked her pretty well once, I guess, papa.” “I do still,” he said quietly. “She’s lovely—lovely! Papa—" she paused, then continued—“I won­ der sometimes—” “What?” “I wonder just how she happened to marry Mr.'Minafer.” “Oh, Minafer’s all right,” said Eu­ gene. “He’s a quiet sort of man, but he’s a good man and a kind man. He always .was, and those things count’'. “I don’t think I should have called George bad tempered,” Lucy said' thoughtfully. “No. I don’t think he is.” • “Only when he’s cross about some­ thing?” Morgan suggested, with a semblance, of sympathetic gravity. “Yes,” she said brightly, not per­ ceiving that h|s intention was humor* ous. “All the rest of the time he’s really very amiable. Of course he’s much more a perfect child the whole time than he realizes! He certainly' behaved awfully tonight.” She jumped up,, her indignation returning; “He did, indeed, and it won’t do to en­ courage him in it. I- think he’ll find me pretty cool—for a week or so!” Whereupon her father suffered a re­ newal of his attack of. uproarious . laughter. Georgecontinuestogrow tip.

IS INTRODUCED DY Il WOMAN Mrs. Cowles Tells the Audience That “Political Partisans" Are Out of Place In This Discussion. Los Angeles.— President Wilson completed his week of speechmaking on the Pacific coast with a monster mass meeting here at which thous­ ands shrieked approval of his plea for early ratification of the peace treaty. Welcomed to the city by a crowd which densely packed the downtown section, the President was cheered tu­ multuously everywhere he appeared during the day. Along the line of a 10-mile parade he rode in a din of ap­ plause and later at a public dinner cheers greeted his declarations that the treaty should and would be ac­ cepted. I When he entered the auditorium for his night speech he was cheered for more than two minutes by a crowd estimated by the police at 6,000. The hall was jammed and outside were thousands waiting since early morn­ ing for the doors to open. At the auditorium meeting Mr. Wil- ■on was introduced by Mrs. Josiah Zlvans Cowles, national president of the General Federation of Women’s clubs, who told the crowd that the league must and will become the hul- war of a. war weary world for all time. The "political partisan,” she as- ■erted, bad no place In a discussion of the peace treaty. BOTH ROOSEVELT AND LODGE QUOTED AS ENDdRSING IDEA OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS. EFFICIENCY OF ARBITRATION "Would be Death W arrant of Children of Country” Said the President, Should the League Fail. GENERAL PALMER RECOMMENDS AN ARMISTICE OF SIX MONTHS. FreeporL Pa-—An absolute indus­ trial armistice for six months was urged by Attorney General Palmer here to permit the solution of econom­ ic problems arising out of the changes wrought by war Such a period of freedom froni un- TesL he declared, would result soon in Increased production. which would bring about an era of “easier living and better times” for all. On the other jband, the attorney general warned, selfish demands by any one class cannot stimulate the, national prosperity or permanently benefit even those obtaining such demands by force. CORPUS CHRIST! LOSSES MORE THAN $20,000,000. Corpus Christi, Texas.—Fuller re­ ports received from devastated storm area of which Corpus Christi is the center, swell the death roll of last Sunday’s hurricane and confirm esti­ mates that the property damage will exceed $20,000,000.

Mayor Stewart in a statement de­ clared that "there will^be no unions In the' Savannah police or fire depart­ ments, and any man joining a union will lose his job immediately.” San Diego, Calif.—An extract from a magazine article written in 1914 by Theodore Roosevelt was read by President Wilson in an address here as an argument in favor of the league of nations. Speaking to a cheering crowd which filled the great San Diego stadium, the President also quoted from Sena­ tor Lodge, one of the most bitter op­ ponents of the treaty in its present form, and declared that in framing the league covenant, the Versailles conference and followed the advice of these and other republican statesmen. "I am glad to align myself with such utterances,” said Mr. Wilson, while the crowd cheered. “Here in concrete form is the fulfillment of the plan they advocated.” . The address was interrupted many times by applause from the crowd, which local officials estimated at more than 50,000. Emphasizing the arbitration feature of the- covenant, the President said an example of the efficiency of discus­ sion was shown in labor controver­ sies. He asserted that whenever eith­ er side to such a controversy refused to discuss its case the presumption was that it was on the wrong side. It would be the “death warrant” of the children of the country, declared the President should the league fail. NEW POLICY INAUGURATED FOR WATER TRANSPORTATION Washington.—A new rate making policy for the protection of water transportation was urged before the house interstate and foreign com­ merce committee by , ex-Chairman John H. Small, North Carolina, of the rivers and harbors committee. Mr. Small asked that the Esch bill be amended so that railroad lines com­ peting with water lines may not de­ stroy water traffic. This should be supplemented, he said, by legislation permitting cities and towns along streams to erect terminals. RETAIL PRICES FOR FOOD ' INCREASED DURING AUGUST Washington.—Retail prices of food increased one per cent in August, as compared with July, and reached the highest point in the nation’s history despite the government’s campaign to reduce the cost of living.

This reduction, which would mean a total of about 42.000,000 acres this year, was recommended, it was said, on the basis of prospective con- dittiohs of world supply and demand as judged by specialists of the depart­ ment who were sent abroad to report on the crop status of European coun­ tries. STOCK OF RAW COTTON SMALL IN HAND? ENGLISH SPINNERS Washington—Present stocks of raw cotton- In the hands ,of British spin­ ners are very small, probably no mill having a supply for more than two or three weeks ahead, according to a re­ port from the American agricultural’ trade commissioner at London on the cotton situation in United Kingdom.

THis condition continued for about eight weeks . . . I thought I was go­ ing to die, and knew I must get some­ thing to do me some good. I had licard nil my life of Cardui and the good results obtained from its use. So I decided to try it After about a half bottle of Cardui my appetite improved, then I was less nervous.

FlLSEi PHILOSOPHY FAILURE Soialism Has Now Proved Itself With Rivers of Blood and Suffering to Be a Positive Fallacy. New York.—Two “dominant convic­ tions” in the mind of Herbert Hoover after his five years’ service abroad are that socialism is “bankrupting it­ self and that America must not aban­ don its moral leadership in restoring order in the world nor permit itself to be used for “experiment in social diseases.” In an address at a dinner of the American institute of mining and metallurgical engineers at which, he was the guest of honor, he declared that the philosophy of Lenine’s and Trotzky’s was destroying itself "from a startling quarter in the extraordi­ nary lowering of productivity of in­ dustrial commodities to a point below the necessity for continued existence of their millions of people.” ^ Referring to the revolution in Rus: sia, he said: “Although socialism has now proved itself with rivers of blood and suffer­ ing to be an economic and spiritual fallacy and to have wrecked itself on the rock of production. I believe it was necessary for the world to have had this demonstration. It is not necessary, however, that we of the United States, now that we have wit­ nessed these results, plunge our own population into these miseries and into a laboratory for experiment in foreign social diseases.” PERSHING RECEIVES GREAT OVATION AT WASHINGTON. Washington.—Hoarse with cheer­ ing, Washington rested satisfied 'that it had paid full honor to General John J. Pershing and the fighting men of the First division. The nation’s victory parade was over.

PROPERTY LOSS $10,000,000 Relief Trains Have Reached Stricken ‘Section Bringing Medical Supplies Food, Bedding and Clothing. Dallas, Tex.—With the known death list at least 29 at Corpus Christi and estimates that the toll will amount- to 75 of 100 in that city alone, the situation In the storm-swept west gulf coast region of Texas continues uncertain. While the death list in the affected territory outside of Corpus Christi probably is considerable, there was no confirmation of reports placing the total well into the hundreds. Proba­ bly the most definite news came from Corpus Christi in. the statement that 66 bodies, none of which had been identified, had been discovered be­ tween Portland and Taft. Machinery for the relief of storm sufferers was completed late by Gov­ ernor Hobby, who ordered units of the Texas national guard to relieve federal troops in charge of the situa­ tion at Corpus Christi as quickly as transportation could be arranged. The' governor issued a proclamation urg­ ing prompt contributions of money and supplies. Three relief trains. reached Corpus Christi with food, bedding, clothing and medical supplies for the thous­ ands of homeless and stricken resi­ dents and other trains were en route. Two relief trains were reported stall­ ed by washouts at Alice, Tex. .Latest estimates placed the prop­ erty loss in Corpus Christi at $10,000,- 000, and meager advices indicate the damage at Port Aransas would be very heavy. Rescue workers faced a tremendous task of clearing the de­ bris. Blocked streets ,and a steady rain which set in at noon, turned the streets into mud. The storm carried buildings and wreckage many miles inland, accord­ ing to reports from Odem and Sinton, in which region 70 victims are re* ported to have been found. SOUTHERN SHIPPERS PROTEST AGAINST RAISE IN RATES. Washington.—Southern traffic men protested before the interstate com* merce commission over the proposed increased freight rates for the south­ east The shippers claimed rate dis­ crimination' south of the Ohio river and declared that as the railroads in the south were prosperous increases were not warranted. In opening th'e shippers’ case, C. E. Cotterell, general counsel for the Southern Traffic league, stated that the'net earnings of the southern lines per track mile exceeded the net earn­ ings of northern lines, and that the revenues of southern ■ carriers were steadily increasing on account of the growth of industry. The additional revenue needed by the railroad admin­ istration, Mr. Cotterell said, should be derived from the territory served by the northern lines, which now were showing monthly deficits. WILSON SILENT REGARDING REPORTS FROM KIAO CHOW. ■ On Board President Wilson’s Spe­ cial Train, Sisson, Calif.—Associated Press dispatches from Honolulu quot­ ing Japanese sources to the effect that the United States had asked the Jap­ anese government to set a definite time limit for the return of Kiao Chow to China were shown President Wil­ son en route to California. The President declined to comment on tire news reports, but it was un­ derstood that he has not yet received any information-, from the state de­ partment relative to -any action it may have taken concerning the Shantung situation. - KirCHIN DEFEATS PERSHING SWORD AWARD PROPOSITION, Washington.—A proposition to have Congress give General Pershing a $10,- 000 sword, in addition to the thankB of Congress for his part in prosecut­ ing'the war against Germany, made considerable headway here, last week, but stout opposition from Representa­ tive Claude Kltchin killed it. Mr. Kitchin took the ground that Congress has done enough for General Persh­ ing, and should now turn its atten­ tion to the soldiers under him. ’ FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT ; STRIKE TO ASSIST POLICE Boston.—Officers of the fire depart­ ment will not join in a ■ sympathetic strike to aid the policemen. This was. announced after a meeting of the di­ rectors of the Officers’ Club, which represents 15 per cent of the fire fighting force of the citfr.

IN GRAIN GROFS ESTIMATE OF PRODUCTION IS THIRTY PER CENT OF THAT p F ENTIRE COUNTRY. VJILUEp AT {3,000,000,000 Cotton Must This Year Give Place in Size and Value to the Three Crops of Corn, W heat and.Oats. Baltimore.—The total grain crops of the southern states for the present year, according to statistics compiled by The Manufacturers Record, will show a gain of about 326,000,000 bush­ els over the crops of last year, while in the rest of the country there will be a decline based on, the September I estimates, of about 357,000,000 bush­ els. The south has thus, by the enor­ mous increase in its grain crops, sav­ ed the nation from a disastrously short crop. The total grain crops of the south this year .will aggregate about 1,645,- 000,000 bushels, while the rest of the country will have an output of about 3,831,000,000 bushels. In other words, the south this year will produce more than 30 per cent of the entire grain crop of the tjnited- States. The value of the south’s grain crops this year, bastd on September first prices, would amount to nearly $3,000,000,000, or an increase of $935,000,000 over the value of the grain, crops of the south of 1918. The value of the com, wheat and oat crops of the south this year will aggregate, based on ’ September first figures of prices on' the farm, about $4,775,000,000. The three crops, corn, wheat and oats alone will exceed by probably half a billion dollars to three quarters of a billion dollars the total value of the south’s cotton crop. STEEL WORKERS REFUSE TO LONGER PUT OFF STRIKE. Pittsburgh1-T h e steel workers na­ tional committee made public, a letter it has drafted and sent to President Wilson giving eleven reasons why it cbtild not comply with- his request to postpone the steel workers strike called orf September 22. The lettei also recites the history of the move­ ment to better the conditions of the workers and expresses faith in the President’s “desire to bring about a conference with employers.” “We regret that for the first time ycur call on organized labor' cannot meet with favorable response,” , the letter states. “If delay were not more than delay, even at the cost of loss of membership in our organizations, we would urge the saine to the fullest ot our ability, notwithstanding the men are firmly set 'for an immediate strike. But delay here means the surrender of all hope.” . NO PROFITEERING IN COTTON AT PREVAILING PRICES HERE. Washington.—Director Phillip S. Kennedy, of the bureau ot foreign and domestic commerce, writes Sena­ tor Simmons that he does not think a price on cotton of 38 cents at Liver­ pool indicates profiteering when the price is 30 cents at Shelby.

The city editor of Un1 Ohio paper said to a new reporter: “There’s to be a meeting of the trus­ tees at the public library building this evening at eight o’clock. Xou cover it Make a story of about 400 words.” The cub went away on his assign­ ment, and the chief of the local de­ partment turned again to his desk, made entry in the assignment book that lay before him, and dismissed the matter from his mind. About eleven; o’clock, however, he suddenly called out: “Where’s Tompkins?" .“Here, sir," said the new reporter, coming forward. “I sent you to a board meeting at the public library. . Where's . your storyT “It isn’t quite finished yet. You told me to make 400 words of it, and Pve got only a little over 800 so far.” “What did they do?” “They met, called the roll and ad­ journed until next Friday evening.” Snakes in British Isles.

She Calls This Funnyl My funniest experience was last year, about this time. We were trav­ eling by auto through the Topango pass in California. We had an experi­ enced driver, and the roads were like boulevards all through the mountains. We were going about eighteen miles per, when suddenly, for no apparent reason, we swerved from the road about four feet, and almost went into a canyon. We all wondered why it happened, and the driver could not account .for it himself. ' When we got to town In about fif­ teen minutes we learned there had been an earthquake.

Little Jasper Senter learned from the minister’s sermon one Sunday that man was made of day; so, after re­ turning from church, he resolved to make him a man after his own fashion. The work proceeded in the clay bank bp.ck of the garden until his mother called Jasper to luncheon. He. had ,/ completed all of the man save one leg. That afternoon Jasper and his moth­ er, while walking along the street, met a man with one leg, walking with crutches. Jasper accosted him and grabbed his coat “See here!” he said. “I thought I told you to stay there in the yard till I put that other leg,on you."—Judge* He Leaked. . . Millie—My foot is asleep.

Voang Teacher's Reply Might Have Been Merely a Statement of Plain Fact, or— The young primary teacher had been -continually annoyed by Bobby’s mother '•ever since he had entered school. Nothing suited her. At first it was the hoars, then the arrangement of Bob­ by's seat, and finally, after a score of complaints about everything Imagin­ able, she began to come to school to criticize the teacher’s methods and books used. “Now, these readers are aot nearly so interesting as the ones We used to use,” she said. “Couldn’t you get some of those old books and ase them to supplement these?” she asked. "I don’t know whether I could find any,” hesitated the little teacher. “But you will find the stories so much more interesting that you will be paid for your effort In hunting them,” Indtsted the woman. “How I did love those stories! There was one about a little red hen. Xt—” “I don’t believe that would Interest my children now,” interrupted the young teacher. “You see, the hen grew up.”—Indianapolis News.

It7Is a known fact that the average German will forget religion, civil laws, and even his patriotism. If they interfere with his chances to drive home a good bargain. The latest dis­ play of this tendency came during the preparations for the victory bail, which was given the Fourth of July In the Bnlisted Men's club at Andernach. As no Fourth of July Jjall would be com­ plete without “Unde Sam,” several “I ” girls set out to prepare a cos­ tume for the revered character. When it came to purchasing the red cloth for the stripes In-the trousers, how­ ever, it seemed • that their plans had gone amiss. Nowhere in Andernach could a sufficient quantity of the right colored material be purchased. Final­ ly one German merchant announced that he had just what they wanted. Out of a closet at the rear of his shop he dug a large German flag: Quickly he cut all the red cloth from it, and sold the material to the girls with the air of one who had just" accomplished a noble deed.—From the Watch on the Rhine.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Koot is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as­ tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re­ jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica­ tions are declined ' do. not even suspect that th#y' have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great, preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Those advocatee of a lower price d cotton should at least be fair enough to giant the farmer an eq ual wage scale with the railroad ticemau or hostler, even though he does not enjoy the *oi<n« hours.
