In The Century Mrs. Fremont gives
hefollowing accounted how she balSed
an official attempt 10 delay Gen. Ere
mont's second expedition TO the west:
In the month of March, 1913, / ac-
companied Mr. Fremont 30 st. Louis,
where the second expedition was fitted
out; that through, he left for the from
tier. where the men and animals were
gathered. Following out my duty Of
secretary 1 was TO open the mail and
forward TO the camp at Kaw Landing,
now Kansas City, all that in my judg-
ment required Mr.. Fremont's attention.
One day there came for him an official
letter from his colonel, the chief OF tho
Typographical bureau. IL was an order
recalling him to Washington, whittier
he was directed to return and explain
VIII, he lad armed his party with .
hovitzer; saying that It was q scientific.
not a military expedition, and should
not have been 50 armed
/ saw at once that this would make
delays which would involve the over
throw of great plans, and felt there
was n hidden hand at work Fort
unately my father was absent from St.
Louis, and could act on my instinct
Without telling any one Of the order
put it away and hurried of a messenger

letter might have been sent on TO the
frontier; but the river mail was very
irregular and slow, and / charged Basil
to make all haste, for much depended
on that letter.
/ wrote Mr.. Fremont that he must
not ask why, but must start at once,
ready or not ready. The animals could
rest and fatten at Bent's Fort. "Only
60" There was a reason, but he could
not know it; my father would take
care of everything. And as we acted
together unquestioningly, he did go inn
mediately
Not until after received the good
! by letter did | write in answer 10 his
colonel. who had sent the order Of re-
call Then / wrote him exactly what
/ had done; that I had not sent for
ward the order because It was given on
insufficient knowledge, and TO obey It
would break up the expedition; that
the journeys to and from Washington,
with indefinite delays there. would lose
to the animals the best season for grass,
and throw them, underfed, into the
mountains in winter; that the country
Of the Blackfeet and other fierce tribes
had to be crossed, and that Indians
knew nothing of the rights of science,
but fought all whites; that these tribes
were in number, and the party not
fifty men, therefore the howitzer was
necessary; that as / knew n military
order must be obeycd, had not let it
be known to any one, but had hurried
off the party.
When my father returned he entire
ly approved of my wrong doing. and
wrote TO the secretary Of war that he
would be responsible for my act, and
that he would call for court martial
on the point charged against Mr.. Ere
mont. But there was never any fur
ther question of the wisdom of his arm

The Ear.

As delicate as the organ of vision is
that of hearing, and as careful n watch
should be kept upon.it, so that no loss
of that more exquisite sense may occur.
When several blind persons were ques-
toned as to which they would rather
do without, their visual organs or those
of hearing, the majority declared in
favor of hearing. We feel n compassion
for the blind; for the deaf we are not
often sympathetic. The spectacle of a
sightless individual touches us to tears
that of one who cannot hear provokes
almost feeling of drollery. Yet, no
doubt, the loss of one organ is as pa.
thetic a thing as the loss of the other
Many erroneous ideas still exist i'm the
public mind that interfere seriously
with the work of the skilled aurist. Too
many people think that the ear is so
delicate an organ that nothing whatever
can be done to alleviate any distress
arising therein, and allow n trivial dis
order, that might be rectified by an
aurist, to bring about n ease of partial
deafness that settles into permanency.

They were far better acquainted than
in the days when they were engaged.
Miss Murray admired the honest cour-
age, the persevering independence with
which her friend was rebuilding his
fort! .ne, and Tom loved her as he al
ways had, and as ne always would, and
had learned to show his affection in
many of the thousand ways that de-
light a woman's heart.
They talked of the scenery, of her ac-
cident, and then of the coming parting.
Suddenly Tom exclaimed:
"Oh, Beth, my darling, give me n

TO THE

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-.
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many of
them would bring you 90,
10 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring
poor price. 1t will cost you

dress, to secure full printed

method of taking off and caring

The millionaire, John H. Strain, was
a poor boy. The first pair of boots no
ever owned he wore only in the village,
carrying them on his shoulder while
going to and fro, so as not TO wear them
out. He now owns fine estate OF l.
400 acres in Montgomery county, New

THE COOLEST" MOTHER.

Evening was falling cool and dark,
And people hurried along the way,
As if they were longing soon to mark
Their own home candies cheering ray.
Before me toiled in the whirling wind,
A woman with bundles great and small,
And after her tugged, step behind,
The bundle she loved the best of all.
A dear little roly-poly boy,
With rosy cheeks and jacken blue,
Laughing and chattering full ofjoy;
And here's what he said-I tell you true:
You're the goodest mother that ever was"
A voice as clear as forest birds;
And I'm sure the glad young heart had cause
To utter the sweet and lovely words.
Perhaps the woman had worked all day
Washing or scrubbing; perhaps she sewed
| knew her by her weary fOOtfalls way
That life for her was an uphill road.
But here was a comfort, children dearl
Think what a comfort you might give
To the very best friend you can have here,
The mother dear, in whose house you live.
If once in a while you'd stop and say,
In task or play for moment pause,
And tell her in sweet and winning way,
" You're the goodest mother that ever was"

From 'sThe Point of View" in March Scribner: New fashions for spring and autumn crop up like mushrooms in sin- gle night. But how are they made, and who makes them? Men laugh at the ca prices of an unwritten code by which the outward line of beauty has become almost as variable as the occult course of the fe- male mind itself yet, though conformity to custom in the matter of dress shows no Fappreciable weight if cast into the balance against ife's serious responsibilities, time and time again does this simple little problem perplex the scoffer to the point of absurdity. A man may still be honest in hat of last years shape but to insist up- on wearing it is to go heavily handicapped ; the odds are ten to one that, from looking askance at him, his fellows will proceed to charge him with eccentricity, and end by grave doubts about his reason. He finds himself suddenly forced, some fine morn- ing, to set aside his own taste for that of the whole civilized world, which agrees in thinking his brim an inch too wide. How has the world preclpitated itself so swiftly to this just conclusion? The process is as startling as any transmutation of the al- chemists it deies augury, like the phil osopher's stone.
