Dorothy lived in Kansas with Aunt 1L and Uncle Henry. A cyclone lifted theiri home Into the air, Dorothy falling asleep; amidst the excitement. A crash awakened her. The house had landed In a country of marvelous beauty. Groups of queer little people greeted her to the Land of Munchklns. The house had killed the ir enemy, the widked w itch of East. Dor­othy took the witch’s ellver shoes. 8 he started for the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz, who, she was promised; might find a way to send her back to Kansas.

m a tte r, fo r I can’t feel it. B ut I do n o t w an t people to ca ll me a fool, and if m y bead s tay s stuffed w ith s traw in­stead of w ith brains, a s yours is, how am I ever to know any th ing?”

“I understand how you feel,” paid th e l i ttle 'g ir l, who w as tru ly so rry for him . “I f ’ ytfttvwill com e w ith m e I'll a sk Os to do all he can fo r you.”

’T hank you,” h e answ ered , g ra te ­fully.

“Oh, I ’m n o t afraid ,” replied the Scarecrow , “he can ’t h u rt the straw . Do le t m e ca rry th a t basket for you. I shall not m ind It, for I can’t g e t tired .' I ’ll te ll you a secre t,” ho con­tinued, as h e w alked along; “th e re is only one th in g In th e world I am afraid of.”

"W hat is th a t? ” asked D orothy; “the M unchkin fa rm e r" who made you?”

CHAPTER III.—Continued.W hile Dorothy was looking ea rn e st­

ly Into the queer pain ted face of the Soarecrow , she was su rp rised to see one of th e eyes slowly w ink a t her. She though t she m ust have been mis­taken, a t first, fo r none of th e scare­crow s in K ansas eve r w ink; b u t pres­ently th e figure nodded Its head to her In a friendly way. T hen she clim bed down from th e fence and w alked up to it, w hile Toto ran around the pole and barked.

“Good day,” said the Scarecrow , in a ra th e r husky voice.

“Did you speak?” asked th e girl, in w onder.

“C ertainly,’’ answ ered th e S care­crow ; "how do you do?”

“I ’m p re tty well, th a n k you,” re­plied Dorothy, politely; “how do you do?”

"I’m not feeling w ell,” said the Scarecrow , with a sm ile, “fo r It 1b very tedious being perched up here n igh t and day to sca re aw ay crow s.”

“C an ’t you get dow n?” asked Dor­othy.

“No, fo r th is pole Is s tac k up my back. If you will please take aw ay th e pole I shall be g rea tly obliged toyou.”

Dorothy reached up both arm s and lifted the figure off the p o le ; for, being stuffed w ith straw , i t was quite light.

‘T h a n k you very m uch,” said the Scarecrow , w hen he had been se t down on the ground. "I feel Hke a new m an.”

D orothy was puzzled a t th is, for it sounded queer to hea r a stuffed m an speak, and to see him bow and w alk along b es id e 'h e r.

“W ho are you?” asked th e S care­crow, w hen he had stre tched him self and yawned, "and w here a re you go­ing?"

"My nam e Is D orothy,” said the girl, “and I am going to the E m erald City,

A fter a few hours th e road began to be rough, and th e w alking grew so difficult th a t th e Scrarecrow often stum bled over th e yellow brick, which w ere here very uneven. Sometimes, indeed, they w ere broken o r m issing a ltogether, leaving holes th a t Toto Jumped ac ro ss and D orothy w alked around. As fo r th e Scarecrow , having no b ra in s h e w alked s tra ig h t ahead, and so stepped in to the holes and fell a t full leng th on the hard bricks. I t n ev e r h u r t him , how ever, and Dorothy would pick him up and se t him upen his fee t again , w hile he joined h e r In laughing m errily a t h is own m ishap.

The farm s w ere n o t nearly so w ell cared fo r here as they w ere fa rth e r back. T he re w ere f^w er houses and few er f ru it tre es , and the fa r th e r they w en t th e m ore dism al and lonesom e th e coun try became.

A t noon they sa t down beside th 9 roadside, n ea r a little brook, and Doro­thy opened h e r basket and go t out som e bread. She offered a piece to th e Scarecrow , b u t ha refused.

“I am never hungry ,” he said ; “and i t is a lucky th ing I am not. F or my m outh Is only painted, and If I should cu t a hole in It so I could eat, th e s traw I am stuffed w ith would come out, and th a t would spoil the shape of jn y head .” ! u

Dorothy saw a t orice th a t th is was true , so she only nodded and w en t on ea ting her bread.

“Tell m e som ething abou t yourself, and th e country you ;came from ," said th e Scarecrow , w hen she had finished h e r d inner. So she told him a l lu b o u t K ansas, and how gray every th ing was the re , and how th e cyclone had carried h e r to th is queer land of Oz. The Scarecrow listened carefully , and said :

I canno t understand w hy you should w ish to leave th is beautiful country and go back to th e dry, gray p lace , you call K ansas.”

“T h a t Is because you have no b ra in s,” answ ered the girl. “No m a t­te r how d reary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would ra th e r live th e re th a n In any o ther country , be i t ever so beautiful. T here is no p lace like home.”

T he Scarecrow sighed.“Of course I canno t understand it,”

he said, “i f your heads w ere stuffed w ith straw , like mine, you would prob­ably a ll live in the beau tifu l - places, and th e n K ansas would have no people a t all. , I t , i s fo rtu n a te for K ansas th a t you have b ra in s.”

“W on’t you te ll m e a sto ry , w hile we a re re s tin g ?” asked th e child.

T he Scarecrow looked a t h e r re ­proachfully, and answ ered:

“My life has been so sh o rt th a t I really know no th ing w hatever. I w as only m ade day before yesterday . W hat happened in th e w orld before th a t tim e is a ll unknow n to m e. Luckily, w hen th e farm er m ade my head, one of the firs t th in g s h e did w as to pain t m y ears , so th a t I h ea rd w hat w as go­ing on. T here w as an o th er M unchkin w ith him , and th e firs t th in g I heard w as th e fa n n e r saying:

** 'How do yon like those ea rs? ’ “ T h e y a ren ’t fltraighC .answ ered

th e other.“ ‘Never mind,! said the farmer;

•they are ears Jqst the same,’ which Waa true onrmgh

“New IH make the eyes.’ Bald the farmer. Be he painted my right eye, and aa soon as it waa finished I found myeelf looking at him and

around me with a greet deal of v tU s ifa s

of tho worXL “ That’s a rather pretty eye,’ re­

marked the Munchkin who was watch­ing the farmer; ’bio©paint Is color for eyes.*

“ T think HI

fe l t very proud, fo r I th o ugh t I w as Ju st a s good a m an a s anyone.

‘T h is fellow w ill scare th e crow s fa s t enough,’ said th e farm er; ’h e looks ju s t like a man.*

“ ’W hy, he is a m an,’ said the o th­er, and I quite agreed w ith him . The farm er ca rried m e under h is arm to th e cornfield, and s e t m e up on a ta ll stick , w here you found me. He and h is friend soon a fte r w alked away and le ft m e alone.

“I did n o t like to be deserted th is w ay; so I tried to w alk a fte r them , but my fee t would n o t touch th e ground, and I w as forced to stay on th a t pole. I t w as a lonely life to lead, fo r I had noth ing to th in k of, having been m ade such a li ttle w hile before. Many crows and o th e r b irds flew in to th e cornfield, b u t a s soon a s they saw m e they flew aw ay again, th ink ing I w as a M unch­k in ; and th is p leased m e and m ade me feel th a t I w as quite an Im portant person. By and by an 'iold crow flew n e a r me, and a f te r looking a t me carefu lly he perched upon my shoul­der and said:

“ *1 w onder If th a t farm er thought to fool m e in th is clum sy m anner. Any crow of sense could see th a t you are only stuffed w ith straw .’ Then he hopped down a t my fee t and a te all th e corn he w anted . T he o th e r birds, seeing he w as n o t harm ed by me, cam e to e a t th e corn, too, so in a sh o rt tim e th e re w as a g rea t flock of them abou t me.

Be sure and use a good paint—a paint that will look well and wear well. Poor paint is the most ex­pensive you can buy. It does not last long, and then the work must be all done over again. T he best is the most economical—it covers most surface, looks best and wears long­est. Ask your dealer.

“ Do you knew of any woman who ever received any benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­pound?” *

If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this1 country where women cannot be found who have been restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.

During the past 30 years we have published thousands of letters from these grateful women who have been cured by Lydia L Pinkbam’* Vegetable Compound, and never

, in all that tim e'have we published a testimonial without the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi­ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write and! ask her.

No Severe Attacks of Fever.A n other case of scarlet fever was re­

ported Sunday evening in the fam ily of 'E . A . Roe, one of his little g irls being taken w iti r it in a mild way. A ll the o th e r cases are im proving rapid ly , none o f them having been of a severe nature. I t is believed by the health officer and o th e r physicians th a t no fu rth e r cases will develope, and all the persons th a t w ere placed in quarantine have been perm itted to resume, th e ir business oc­cupations. It is also thought to resume school M onday, if no o ther cases de­velope.

There appears to be some m isunder­s tand ing as to w hat the powers of the hea lth officer and health board are and tha t, all may be mdde aw are of thq pro­visions of th e law, T he M ail p rin ts the following:

D u ty of the local board of health?— A s so much depends upon prom pt action on the appearance of the first case of sca r le t fever, and in order th a t no time m ay be lost, i t is the du ty of every board of hea lth to make provision for p rom p t action by its health officer, au tho riz ing and directing him to be p repared a t all tim es, as executive officer of the board, to take certain action w ithout w aiting for a m eeting of th e board , and w ithout w aiting for n o ti­fication fro m ' e ither householder or physician, whenever he has “ good reason to believe” th a t there is w ithin i t s jurisdiction a case of scarlet fever. In general the board should make effec tual provisions for the safety of the inhab itan ts and use a ll possible care to p reven t the spreading of the infection, by securing the com plete isolation of all sick and infected , and a thorough disinfection o£ all infected houses, c lo th ing and a ll articles likely to be infected, before allow ing the ir d istribu tion o r use by persons o ther than those in isolation.

W henever th e hea lth officer shall re­ceive notice, o r sh a ll otherw ise have good reason to believe th a t the re is w ithin h is jurisdiction a case of scarlet fever, he should—

Im m ediately investigate the subject, and report to the S ecretary of the S ta te Board of H ealth .

O rder th e p rom pt and thorough isola­tion o f those sick o r in f opted, so long as th e re is danger of th e ir com muni­ca tin g th e disease to o thers.

See th a t no person suffers for lack of nu rses or o ther necessaries because of isolation fo r th e public good.

G ive public notice of infected places b y placard on th e prem ises.

P rom ptly notify teachers or superin ­tenden ts of schools concerning fam ilies in w hich scarlet fever is present.

S upervise funerals of persons dead from scarle t fever.

D isinfect rooms, c lo th ing , premises; and all artic les likely to bq infected, before allow ing th e ir use by persons o th e r than those in isolation.

There seems to be some m isunder­stand ing am ong hun te rs and fishermen as to certain features of the new gam e laws, hence we publish th e following

I t became known last week th a t an a ttem pt is being made to buy the sisal used in the b inder - tw ine p lan t d irect from the grow er, instead of through commission houses, as has been done heretofore, and thus elim inate an ex­pense of about $8,000 a year. Should th is be possible, and from indications it appears th a t the plan will be carried th rough , i t will p u t the p lan t in a b e tter position to place the finished product on the m arket and thus buck the tru s t with b e tte r results.

I t is figured th a t the p lan t consumes between 7,000 and 8,000 bales of sisal each season and th a t the brokerage fee for handling is $1 a bale. T he prison since the p lan t was p u t in operation has been receiving its sisal th rough M artin A . D aily , of Chicago, recen tly indicted by the grand ju ry , ami who was im plic­ated in the confession oi_ W arden-A rm ­strong of accepting a b ribe pf $1,500. D aily has been receiving th e sisal from Y ucatan,w here the best quality is grow n. A fter his indictm ent the prison negotia­ted with a Boston firm.

A t present the re is enough of the product on hand to last th ree m onths and when th is supply runs o u t i t is figur­ed th a t negotiations will be finished with a grow er in Y ucatan to fu rn ish it d ir­ec t. This w ill also make i t possible for the p lan t to m anufacture m anila tw ine in la rger quan tities, abd also rope. A small am ount is now being turned out, but the facilities ar& inadequate. The fiber' fo r the m anufacture of m anila tw ine is s tronger and more pliable , and the m ajority of the farm ers of the state who patronize the prison p lan t are partia l to it . M anila tw ine w ill ru n 000 feet to the pound, w hereas the p resent product runs but 500 feet. T he form er will cost the farm er two cents more a pound, b u t the m anila product is of finer quality .

N ew S ta m p Issue .

The m any friends of Mrs.- B etsey Brown gave her a post card shower on Tuesday, S ep t. 14, the occasion being h e r 89th b irthday . A fam ily reunion was also held on the skme day in her honor a t the home of he r d au g h te r M rs. F ran k K ing , w ith whom she lives near Y psilanti.

H ow P e a ry H as B elittled H im self.

D etro it N ews: Every man is , a fte r a ll, the harshest critic of his own faults. W ha t o thers say abou t him may be mis­representation or m isunderstanding, but w hat he days of him self is supposed to show forth the man. I t was a m a tte r of both wonder and reg re t to thosa who have read the story of P eary , th a t one. a fte r ano ther he sent forward w hit '1 men to seek o u t the way and ca rry sup­plies to establish a relief station for the re trea t from the pole, and having overtaken them , 3ent them back- B a r t­le tt, B orup, M cM illan and M arvin did th e ir p a r t gallan tly , b u t even when they were close to the pole, when subsistence for all was assured and th e ir w illingness to share the perils as well as the glory were unquestioned, they were ordered back, and , like tru e m en, they obeyed. M arvin w ent to his death alone, and i t will be b u t poor satisfaction to his friends to know th a t a cross has been erected to h is memory 73 miles south of the spo t where he broke th rough the new ice and drowned because the re was none to aid h is ex trication . B u t fo r the caprice of one m an, he would have gone on to the goal of discovery and probably would have retu rned alive and well.

W hen asked by the associated press representative: “ W hy did you nothave a w hite w itness a t the pole?” Peai*y rep lided :

‘B ecause, a fte r a lifetim e of effort, I w anted the honor for m yself.”

O thers may draw even more unchar­itab le conclusions, b u t the m ajority will do no th ing worse than to accep t th is be­littlin g confession. Even when w ithin s trik ing distance of the pole, P eary ap - peares to have thou g h t the re was not fam e enough for all. He was afraid the world would not give him cred it if he ahhred the v ictory. Possibly he also thou g h t th a t w ith four or five* o r even two w hite men a t * the pole, i t would not be solely w ithin his pow er to “ stim ulate public in te res t,” and also th a t there m ight be “ possible leaks” of free in fo r­m ation th a t would h u rt his “ exclusive m arket.” M r. P eary is him self to blame if his achievem ent is belittled in th e es­tim ation of th e world, for he has delib­era te ly belittled him self in his greed of fame and gain , and some will call him henceforth.

N ew C ig a re tte Law.

W hile i t is claimed th a t the new c igarette law is defective in some p a r t i­cu lars, i t a t least has some redeem ing features, and chief am ong these is the fact th a t i t does prohib it the sm oking of cigarettes in public places by young men under the age of 2 1 . _

T h a t one fact alone is worth a good deal. The sm oking of “ coffin nails” by m ature men is bad enough, b u t th e big percentage has been . am ong boys, and th is clause should a t leas t help to clear up the atm osphere in public places.

I t is claimed th a t th e sale of “ tobac­co ” is not prohibited and th a t is a weak poin t in the law. Tobacco can be sold and the cigarettes made the sam e as usual, b u t for a ll th a t, there is still the provision prohib iting those under 21 sm oking cigaretts in public places.

E ven if the law is n o t w hat was- ori­g inally intended by th e d ra fte r , i t has a t least accomplished some good, and is well w orth a place upon the sta tu te books.

E dito r's Note.—Daniel J. 8ully, the au thor of th is a rtic le depict­ing th e possibilities of cotton, the pitiful vassalage of the p lan ter and the destiny aw aiting the U nited S ta tes and the cotton grow er, when we ta k e advantage of our opportunity , has had a rem arkable ca rper in th e record and rom ance of cotton. It w as his unparalleled m ark e t cam paign th a t caused cotton to rise to 17% cen ts a pound in 1903, the h ighest point reached since the civil w ar. During th is actual reign of cotton, w hen Sully w as its prem ier, $450,000,000 in gold w as b rought to th is country and formed the su bstructu re of the enorm ous bull m arket which culm inated in the spring of 1907. Then the south and the whole nation realized fo r the first tim e th a t the success of cotton and the advancem ent of civilization go hand in hand. >

MERICAN cotton-plant­ers , p roprie to rs of the g rea te s t gold-prodpclng s tap le in the world, a re poor. They are In p rac­tica l servitude. I t Is a tragedy of contem porary life th a t they who pro­duce for the world the c o m m o d i t y w ithout which modern civiliza­tion and industrial life could not proceed a re

i them selves absolutely , subserv ien t and the

poorest paid to ilers -in th e U nited S tates. In te llectually the cotton-grow ers a re surrounded and

-coerced by fac to rs which have no o ther .purpose than to keep them in th is be­n igh ted vassalage. From th is condition .Influences of a new A m erican sp irit m u s t libe ra te them .

W e sm ile a t the C elestial shivering In th e m idst of coal-fields la rger than the s ta te of Pennsylvania. A m erica’s a tti­tude tow ard cotton i» alm ost equally ^grotesque. On the southern rim of the U nited S tates, w ithin an area of prac­tica lly 14 s ta tes , is grown SO p e r cent, of the w orld’s supply of cotton. T he re­m aining 20 per cent., grow n In South A m erica, India, a n d the fa r east, is of an Inferior quality and cannot com pete w ith the cotton grown in th e United S ta tes . N otw ithstanding th is enorm ous advantage, the fac t still rem ains tha t th is heaven-sent boon, paradoxical th ough it may seem , does not enrich, tout ra th e r im poverishes, the southland.

This is a ta le of com m ercial ineptl- •tude. "Our g rea te s t a sse t is our g rea te s t ■humiliation. C otton is king, b u t i t is a : badly se rv ed m onarch. O ther nations."by : farsigh ted policy, in tense ac tiv ity ,

. and com m ercial a le rtn ess , have over­come the trem endous advan tage we h a re , and by beating down the price of th e raw p roduct, and w ith cheap labor on looms and m achinery for the m anufacture of the fln- ished p roduct, now ’ control th e m arkets of the w orld. 1b th e O rient, w here we once had our sh a re of trade , th e m arket, to say the least, is slipping from us.

C otton is th e clo th ing of the uncounted mul­titudes, and even those born to the purple de- jpenfl upon -cotton for much of th e ir appare l­ling. K ing C otton’s dominion is m ankind. A merica, therefore, producing, p ractica lly ■alone, a com m odity v ital to civilized life and progress, has in th a t ha rv est the sec re t of incom parable w ealth and power. I t is no t steefl o r lum ber, kerosene or corn, th a t insu res E nduring leadership for the U nited S tates.

tured goods back to th e A m ericans who produce the raw supply. Switzerland, for example, which grows no cotton, w hose m ountains « yield no coal for its fac­tories, a country th a t has no t an inch of seacoast o r a p lank afloat, sends to us, in the ships of o th e r nations, m ore finished cotton goods than we export to alii th e countries of continental Eu­rope combined.

A m erica’s fu ture, when she realizes h e r heritage and opportunity in cotton, will eclipse any th ing th a t has been foretold for this republic. It is only w ithin th e la st hundred years th a t cotton has conquered the world. The ca reer of th is o la n t has scarcely begun.The rem arkable pace in its progress to pow er is re­vealed by the quain t fact th a t in 1784 e igh t bags of A m erican c o t t o n w e r e seized by th e custom s au­tho ritie s a t L iverpool, the sage B ritish verd ic t being th a t the im portation was

fraudulent, as so much cotton could not possi­bly be produced in one yea r in America! In N apoleon’s cam paigns thousands of the wound­ed could have been saved had th e re been an adequate supply of cotton fo r bandages.

Before Eli W hitney 's tim e it took a man in his home tw o years to separa te one bale of cotton from th e seed. T he yield of cotton thus handicapped on its way to the w eare r w as un­im portant. There had been cotton from re­m ote antiquity . T he m um m ies of Peru w ere w rapped in it. T he anc ien t Hlndu$ wove it, and by som e forgotten a r t th e w eaving was5,000 tim es finer than Is to be found in any of the fabrics of modern tim es. Cotton was a sacred th read am ong the Brahm ans, and t h e 4 th e ft of i t a serious crim e. In the gardens of Chinese tem ples a t th e p resen t day a special varie ty of cotton-plant is found w hich is no­w here e lse grow n. F rom its yield th e vest­m en ts of the Confucian p rie sts a re made.

G reat B ritain has m ade an organized and scientific effort to ra ise a supply th a t would m ake her independent of A m erica, fo r the statesm en of th a t em pire foresee th e possiblli- lie s of the day w hen Am erica, t* is ln g to a recognition of h e r r ig h t, w ill m anufactu re her own cotton and aeU i t to th e w orld.

in mind, th a t cotton cloth, the cloth of th e civilized ^ m a s s e s , w ithout which they would becom e barbari­ans, is the product" of a p lant. Cloth grow n from the soil! I f by some botanical necrom ancy we could grow fin ish^! garm ents In the fields, and if these garm ents could be produced in like quan tities in no o th e r p a r t x>f th e ea rth , every m an would in s ta n tly realize tha t A m erica possessed a monopoly which would m ake a ll o ther n a ­tions our petitioners. Y et we have th a t monopoly as assu red as it would be if we harvested clothing ready to w ear, for if we ourselves

produced the garm en ts th a t we by our toil in the south enable E urope and Japan to m anu­factu re, we would possess alm ost an exclusive supply of the cloth and clothing already need­ed by a t le as t one-half of the hum an race.

Men cannot, if they would, again depend for th e ir clothing upon the skins of wild anim als. These beasts have p ractica lly vanished. Nor is these enough w ilderness on the globe to furn ish a range fo r the rea ring of sufficient an im als to provide garm ents of sk ins for m an­

kind. T he world of men and wom- en is clothed to-day as never be-

— T i fore. I t is only w ithin the la st cen­tu ry , w ith cotton w ithin th e reach of the m ultitude, th a t the m ajority have been adequately clothed. The heroes of the revolution w ere half clad and th a t half was rags.

And It is one of the in teresting ironies of h isto ry th a t during th a t period, w hen the problem o^ clo thes w as suprem e, both in A m erica and abroad, R ichard A rkw right, who invented the spinning-fram e, and Jam es H argreaves, who invented the spinning-jenny, crea tions which w ere to change the h isto ry of the race , had th e ir m achines destroyed by the enraged and half-clad popu­lace, -who feared th e com petition of these labor-saving devices.

W e sm ile a t the short-sighted fol­ly of. th a t day, and yet the prog­ress in th e use and m anufactu re of co tton w ill be as trem endous in the com ing yea rs as in the past. There is fan ac tual kingship fo r cotton, not only com m ercially bu t political­

ly; and th is sovereignty a l cotton in A m erica I believe to be a t hand.

W e sliall a|wake to our new destiny as a world-power and trad ing nation w hen we re­alize fully th a t the sou thern section o ft our republic fs v irtually the exclusive source of a com m odity absolu tely Indispensable to the m yriads of m ankind from New York to Shang­hai, from Nome to M ontevideo, from London to the Cape.

Cotton has w ith in itse lf, under th e guiding hand of the country w hich produces it, the pow er to b ring abou t u ltim a te world-peace. T he U nited S ta tes , by prohib iting the exporta­tion of raw cotton cargoes to E ngland, G er­m any, F rance , Ita ly and Sw itzerland, could in­flict hopeless Industria l para ly s is and financial panic upon those lands.

One word from A m erica th a t it would w ith­hold supplies of cotton would b ring all Eu­rope to te rm s of comity.

Women in Postal Service.The distinction of. first appointing a

woman postm aster does not belong to A m erica, nor is the em ploym ent of women in th e postal service a new idea. As ea rly as 154S a woman post­m aste r was appointed to look a fte r the m ails of B raine le Comte, an im ­po rtan t tow n of F rance. In the try ­ing tim es of the T h irty Yejurs* w ar, the principal office in the postal serv ­ice of Europe w as held by a woman, A lexandrine de Rue. From 1628 to 1646 she w as in charge of the mails of the G erman em pire, the N ether­lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She was know n as a m aster general of the m ails. s In A merica, E lizabeth H arvey was the first to hold a p lace in the postal departm en t. She had charge of the le tte rs in Portsmowtb, N. H., in the beginning of the seven teen th cen­tury. A half cen tu ry afterw ard Lydia H ill was placed in charge of the post office In Salem, Mass.

“I t seem s to me very s tran g e ," said M ark Twain one day, " tha t people ever move. The happ iest day in the life of old John Runyan was the day they thrkw him into prison. If they 'd ever got me there, they’d never have got m e but.”

H ere the hum orist voiced, as he often does, a profound tru th . It reached to th e core of one of th e m ost try ing evils o^ life; especially of mod­ern life. “W hy can’t people be like trees,” ask s ano ther philosopher, “and Btay pu t?” Our continued moving about ,is m erely an expression of the res tless sp irit of m an. I t is only la te­ly th a t m en have begun fully to un­derstand w hat Eusk ln m ean t w hen he declared th a t th e invention of the steam engine w as n o t a blessing, but a curse. And now is the .time of the year w hen m any people begin to in­dulge in the m ost w earing of all k inds of m oving, change from one environ­m ent to ano ther, from the city to the country. And in m aking the change they feel the iron hand of “things." M ost of them a re the slaves of “th ings.” I t is no t enough for them to move them selves w ith all the sp ir­itual la ce ra tions th a t the change im­plies; they m ust take with them a m ultitude of th ings, whose tra n sp o rta ­tion is troub le both, to the sp irit and to th e purse.

Face Was Air- solutely Strange

The tra in w as w histling fo r a stop, and was going to stop n o t m ore than a m ile o r two aw ay, j

Instinc tive ly I fe lt i fo r my • w atch, but the re w as noth ing of the so rt in my pocket. - 1 w as disappointed, for though only half conscious of th*j rea ­son why, I w anted to know w hat tim e the tra in cam e in. Suddenly an ex­pedient occurred to me. T he sun was slan ting th rough my windows a t an acu te angle w ith th e casem ent. W ith my thum b nail I scratched on th e sill th e outline of the shadow.

Some one was s tand ing outside my door, w atching me, no dououbt, through the keyhole. An involuntary move­m ent of his feet betrayed so m uch to me, and a m om ent la ter, re s tle ss of espionage, I crossed over to the fa r­the r co rner of the room.

In doing so I caugh t a glim pse of ano ther movement, and looking up I saw w hat I w onder ] had not thought of looking fo r~ > ^ lle r—a m irro r. T hs

“Of course,” I thought, “th a t is all It needs. A glance a t m yself will bring my memory back to m e.”

1 walked around and stood before the glass. But the face I saw w as ab­solutely s trange to me, as s trange as the doctor’s ; face or th e guard ’s had been. I t was bew ildering, uncanny, alm ost enough indeed to drive a man mad, to see the haggard look of pain and disappoin tm ent and som ething not fa r from te rro r In th a t s tran ­ger’s face; and to realize th a t i t was only the irrep ressib le em otion my own soul th a t I saw reflected there..

Then, like a touch of the spur, ra l­lying all my courage anew, th e re came th e .fa in t sound of a chuckling laugh from the o ther side of th e door. In standing before th e m irro r I had again come under th e observation of

Nickel Steel Form ula Secret.“E ssen is essentially notable for its

I dropped down on th e edge of my bed and buried my lace in my hands.1 heard footsteps tip toeing aw ayTrom ray door, and then in a m om ent, as I half expected, retu rn ing noisily.

“Come in,” said I, in an sw er to ; the knock. *•

It was the doctor, b t t th is tim e .ih e doctor w ith his m anner all prepared. It was at once good hum ored and patronizing.

"W ell, my good m an,'' said he, “I hope you feel no fu rther ill effects from tha t warm June sun."

“No," said I, "I guess I’m righ t enough." I /

Then, by way of experim ent, I shot a quick question a t him.

"Is th is ray room, the room I have lived in r igh t along?"

H is face seem ed to stiffen a* little in its false m ask of kindly humor.

“Of course," he said ; "but you m ust n o t expect to rem em ber anything about tha t. You have been, as I safd before, only half conscious since you came here. I t would be a ltogether ex­trao rd inary if you w ere to recognize the room or the building o r any of our faces. B ut does nothing come back from beyond th a t tim e; nothing th a t happened before your acciden t?”

Mr. Moore, aw akened by the noise, concluded th a t th e “W e are coming” gang had arrived , and arm ­ing him self w ith a revolver, proceed­ed to investigate . H e mistook his daugh ter, who w as w alking through, the hallw ay, 4tlg. va b frg la r, and w as abou t te shoot, a f te r w arning the su]k posed in truder to stop , when Miss M oore aw oke an d shouted: shoot, fa th er!

Sue was a typew riter and Ethel-;, inda Bold lovely laces tn a big shop.: They lived in an ap a rtm en t th a t had plenty of close t room—five rooms andj bath, to be exact. Sue usually s topped

the way home and bought two: lamb chops and a head of le ttuce; i f i t w as the beginning of the w eek, or five cen ts’ w orth of stew m eat and no le ttuce, if i t w as tow ard the tag; end of the week, n ea r pay day. Sue. was genera lly the one to negotiate the; purchases because shs left the office1 a t five and cam e up town on an ex-j p ress tra in , w hile Ethelind&’s shop] didn’t close un til six. ;

Now, upon a ce rta in evening they had ipvited M arie and R alph to dine w ith them . They could say “dine,” because they In tended to tu rn in the necks of th e ir s h ir t w aists and w ear th e ir near-B russels lace collars and bedause M arie w as going to bring over h e r finger bowls. I t behooved Sue to s h u t , up her typew riter on the very stroke of five, therefore, even if the m anager passed h e r the glance frappee, and m ake all possible speed to . th e express tra in . '

She had the lis t of d ipner Rem s com plete. Chops, bread, le ttuce (oh, th is w as M onday even ing), corn on ,the ear, a, m eringue pie and some ber­ries for desert. She looked like the Goddess of P lenty as she reached the door of the fla t house.

She had to p u t down the chops, the bread and the le ttuce on the floor of the vestibule while she dug in her bag for th e keys.

Keys? K eys? H ere was her pen­knife, her handkerchief, a pencil, th ree hairp ins, some chewing gum, a pow- ( der puff, a nail file, a m irro r and her, list of d inner supplies—b u t no keys.' Clearly she m ust have le ft them a t the office in her hurry . Now, here was indeed a p re tty how-de-do!

E thelinda w asn’t due for an hour,' th e guests w ere ap t to come along any m inute, and she had ordered the. grocer to send around the four bo t­tles of “ice cold" r igb t s tra ig h t away, and now she couldn’t even g et in to open the dum bw aiter door.

I t was com paratively easy to. col­lec t the pie. the chops, the bread, the le ttuce and the berries and go down through Ihe ce llar and up the four flights^of s ta irs to her apartm en t, door. B u t then w hat? She sa t down on the s ta irs and thought some more. There w ere two flats on a floor. She could ring the bell of the next-door! lady and beg to be le t clim b o u t her k itchen window, across the fire es­cape and in to h e r own k itchen win­dow. F ine! W hereupon she rang. N o answ er. Lady away. Lovely! Now w hat? And tim e w as flying. There was b u t one o ther way. The flat ju s t over th e irs w as vacant. She m igh t ge t in to th a t if the door was open, go o u t the k itchen window, and down th 6 fire escape to h e r own.

She carefu lly deposited the chops, th e berries, the co in , th e le ttuce, the pie and the b read upon th e floor and s ta r ted upsta irs. T h e door o f the em pty flat w as unlocked. Ah, Joy!. She rushed to the k itchen window and gazed down th rough the fretw ork of the fl?b-eBcape to the s tree t. My! I t w as a long drop if she slipped. - F u r­therm ore, the ladder was a ru s ty old thing, and as the flat house 'W hs a t the co rner of the block, the fire es­cape hung to the ou te r w all of the building. T he openings in th e iron p latform s a t each floor w ere righ t over each o ther, and offered a clear drop, If any th ing happened, s tra ig h t to the areaw ay. She hoped she’d fall nice and plumb., in to the area , and n o t ou t on the sidew alk, w here every­body passing by would have to see her all m tssed up.

She stepped fo rth courageously, desperately , and put her foot on the iron ladder. I t seem ed firm. She tried not to look down in th e s tree t, but she couldn’t help noticing a m an driving a sprinkling ca rt. He gazed up in her direction and shouted, pleas­an tly : "Oh, I say, Maude, the w ate r’B fine. Drop in !"

Two sm all boy» playing ball in the s tree t yelled a t a; com panion a block aw ay : “Hey, Chimmie, h u rry up! P ipe de lady burg lar!”

"Oh, you blue s tock ing !” rem artoed a college youth from across th e way. And [two m en who w ere rep a irin g th e s tre e t stopped thffir s team ro lle r a n d called, ou t: "Don’t jum p! W eH eav e you!" ' ,

T he ladies tn th e te n em en t opposite nearly fell o u t of th e ir Respective w in­dows in th e ir en thusiasm over th e ’un­usual spectacle . T he grocry--, boy from the co rner s to re dropped Si ’b arre l of potatoes on the g ro ce r’s foot, th e d river of a delivery wagon paused w ith his parce ls slipping from h is arm s—and a ll b ecau se a despera te youpg person w as descending a fire escape. I t seem ed to Sue to ta k e a n h o u r ' a t le a s t to g e t t o th e [platform outside h e r ew n k itchen window. H er hands and d ra a t yreee red w ith m at, and h e r h a t w as on b u e ear. She ducked hastily In to th e open kitchen window w ith o trium phan t dry—-into th e arm s of ttkO m aaand E thelinda.

In th e second of tw o lec tu res on “The S ecre t Societies of the B anks’ Islands," given a t the Royal In s titu ­tion, London^ Eng., Mr. W. H. R. Riv­ers said th a t in one of th e cerem onies of the secre t socie ties they had. a hundred dances and a hundred songs. D ecorated m en cam e in pairs from various directions. They ca rried blad­ders, which they dashed aga in st the trees, m aking loud reports. Then they gave a special dance.

T he th ree m ain fea tu res in the Kolokolo perform ance w ere dances, killing pigs and the paym ent of peo­ple tak ing p a r t in th e dance. To give a m agnificent kolokolo was one of the best ways of obta in ing social kudos. The people had no regu lar chiefs, and the men rose to the top through these sec re t organizations.

One function of these socie ties was th e pro tection of property. A m em ­ber of a society p u t up a ce rta in sign, called a taboo, and th a t p ro tected him from people no t connected w ith bis society. Societies, therefore, w ith few m em bers w ere extrem ely popular, and in consequence tended to become large. T ha t was one of the factors which led to the grow th and increase of the societies.

If tw o men had a d ispute abou t the ow nership of land one of them would p u t the m ark of his society on the land. The o th e r m an alBO put the m ark of his society on the land. The resu lt was th a t ne ithe r of them could go on it.

The s is te r of a m an’s fa th er had absolu te voice as to whom he should marry.

The sec re t societies were called “Dead Men’s Societies,” and the re w ere a la rge num ber of th ings which pointed to the cerem ony of in itia tion being a sim ulation of death.
