A Fathers HerOism to Screen His
Sons Crime.

Not great while since prominent
physician of Denver, Colorado, was
called to attend patient in the last
stages of what appeared to be consump-
ton, but which, upon examination.
proved to be simply wearing away OF
life-a decay of the energies of mind
and body. Although we'll supplied
with money, the stranger was seemingly
without friends or relatives. He wrote
no letters and received none. An
alien to the tenderness and charities
which sanctify the affections, he seemed
to be drifting out of the world, in
which, for him all the flowers of the
heart had perished-a bleak and desc
late old man, fastening out of the sun
shine into the shadow of the grave.
After making thorough examination
of the case, the doctor told him that
although he could find no organized
disease. yet he was dying.
~ know it," replied the patient.
"But have you no idea of what
brought you to this plight?' inquired
the interested man of science.
ct is curious phenomena. You
have heard a great deal about cases
like mine-more as visionary exag-
geration of the fancy than as an actual
occurrence-but strange as it may ap-
pear, am dying, as you say-of a
broken heart"
You surprise me !"
Yes, surprise myself. I did not
come to your health giving climate as
others do-in search of longer lease
of life-but to die in peace and alone. "
but have you no friends?" asked
the doctor.
"None that 1 can claim. My past is
sealed with the shadow of crime, and
over nv nameless grave not even a
memory must hover. I am already
dead to all who ever knew my name"
You say you are criminal ?" pur-
sued the doctor.

The physicians curiosity had got the
better of his prudence. The shadows
of twilight were falling around them.
Through the open window streamed the
soft brilliance of the dying day. Clouds
CT amethyst and purple foated lazily on
the far-off hills. But in the chamber
where the fevered breath was drawn

The feeble pulse was futtering-the

Another Testimonial to Grant.

The Standard Soap Company have pre-
sented General Grant with an elegant box of
perfumed toilet soap, especially made for
him as momento of his visit to California.
The box contains a dozen cakes, several of
which have head of the General, a fac
simile likeness in red and purple, running
through the soap. Around the head is a
wreath of flowers, inscribed on the top with
the word General, and underneath the head
is the word Grant; other cakes in the box
represent an initial, the whole spelling U. s..
Grant, making it neat and acceptable gift.

Turner'S Regulator

Is proving such an indispensable article to
those suffering from liver complaint that
parties are in some cases purchasing half a
dozen bottles at time, after they have tri
it. Physicians frequently prescribe the
Sacred Bark which Is one of the ingredients
of this medicine. The advantage of using
Turner's Regulator arises from the fact that
its ingredients are the result of experiment

vote to a single object.

The Robertson Process

Is growing more popular every day for the
reason that more ore can be extracted from
mines where roasting is necessary. The
simplicity and economy of this process are
important, yet the fact that more gold and
silver can be saved than by any other known
method will sooner or later bring it into use
in all mines.

How to Train a'Grape Vine.

One of the old questions that is ever
new, is how to tram grapevine. The
books will tell you all about it. Oh,
yes, nothing easier. There is your re-
newal system and your alternate system,
and Thomeny system, and dear knows
how many other systems, that look so
beautiful in the cuts; but when the Or
dinary man gets in front of a rampant
vine that has had its own way in the
past, he fails to see how any system will
tit in. The fact is. to carry out any sys-
tematic training one must begin with a
young vine and carry it through tor
several years. With an old vine little
more can be done than to prune out the
old wood and get the young wood even
ly distributed over the trellis. Our
strong native vines refuse to be
cran,ped by any of the close-pruning
methods, and go off in rush of water
shoots when so hemmed in. The Della
ware is one of the best to try expert
ments on, as it yields kindly to any
treatment. Our vineyardists have been
in the habit of pruning back pretty
closely, leaving only three or four eyes
to shoot, but of late years they are
leaving on more wood. Last fall
fruit-grower from the Hudson river
told us of system in use in Ulster
county which took its name from the
man who first introduced it, Mr..
Kniffen. Only two wires are used on
the trellis, and these are four and six
feet from the ground. The vine is first
carried to the top wire; then four side
shoots grown and trained to the wires
for permanent arms. These are kept
about two feet in length, and from them
are grown the bearing shoots each year,
four or five to each arm. These shoots
are allowed to grow their full length
and hang down towards the ground.
Each fall they are pruned back to
single bud and new set grown the
next year. This system has the merit
of simplicity and Can be readily tested
in the vineyard or with few garden
vines.-Eastern Paper.

The Man Who Built q Market.

Boston Has added another to her be-
fore large collection of the statutes of
her eminent men. Last Saturday, with
sll proper ceremony and oratory, she
dedicated the statue of Josiah Quincy,
who was an eminent public servant
member of Congress, Judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court, second Mayor of Boston
and President of Harvard University.
Mr.. Quincy was Mayor from 1928 to
1928. The observances of last week
naturally recalled the sagaeity and
prescience, if we may use the word, of
one of the shrewdest public men of his
day. 1t has been said that the estab-
lishment of the Faneuil Hall Market
was at least twenty years ahead of the
times. Nobody ever had this faculty
of looking forward in larger measure
than Mr.. Quincy. His purchases of
real property. based upon what he be-
heved to lie the certain prosperity of
Boston, made him one of her most
opulent citizens. But the Faneuil
Hall Market is the most popular
memorial of his public work. 1t is
such market as nobody, soreIy as We
need it, has ever built for New York.
Indeed, the Bostonians boast that
there are large markets in other cities,
in none OF them g can be found SO
great variety in kinds and qualities as
in theirs" 1t is the result of wise pro
vision for the future, without which no
city can secure absolutely necessary
conveniences, whether of buildings,
streets or public grounds. 1t was one
of the most economical of invest
ments. 1t could not now be erected.
except at vastly greater expense. Yet
this was only one CT many municipal
improvements set afoot during Mr..
Quincy's administration, and of which
the city is at present enjoying the
benefit. Fortunate and few the cities
which have such magistrates as he was
Fortunate the city which having such
citizens has also the wisdom TO call
them to places of honor and trust
MIR. Qulncy's was great name dur
ing the fierce political struggle of the
country, from tie beginning Of the
century until the breaking up of the
Federal and Democratic parties He
was himself Federalist of the FEEDER
alists. 1t never for a moment mitigated
his zeal that his party was IN hopeless
minority. In nothing did he show his
political sagacity more completely than
in his early apprehension OF the rising
power of the slave-holding interest. He
looked at the institution with the same
shrewtness with which he built the
market. After 1913, his public ser
vices were within his native State,
which was sufficient for him. When
the great struggle against slavery came,
he was early in the field, old as he was,
for freedom and the Union, just as III
1856 he had taken q prominent part in
efforts to elect Fremont to the Presi-
dency. Nor let it be forgotten that he
was the first Judge in this country or
in England to lay down the law that the
publication of the truth with q good
intention, and for justihable end, is
not libelous.
In all things Mr.. Quincy thought
and acted with no slavlsh regard for
present comfort or convenience. Bos
ton will remember him AS one reso-
lutely bent upon having his own way,
but also as one whose way was usually
the right one.-N. Y Tribune.

California Wines"
Every man in the group seemed to be

their views.

One of the simplest and at the same
time most effectual remedies against
snoring is to place thin, oval shaped
piece of silver or hard-rubber, between
three and four inches in length and one
and half inches in width, formed SO
as to fit the jaws comfortably, between
the lips and the gums. By this simple
appliance the breath is forced through
the nostrils, and, aside from being a
preventative against snoring, it keeps
the throat and tongue moist, instead OF
being dry and parched as when air is
inhaled into the mouth and throat Ii
the mouth is kept shut, all trouble
about snoring will be removed.
