trial and execution of this splendid
woman. He feared that should he re-
port her capture to headquarters HI
would get tho same reply as in tho case

II will not harm you," he said pres
emily. "Some one else must take the

Perhaps not to you. IL matters

While this conversation was going on
Corporal Ratigan was listening and OBJ
serving the speakers with palpitatini
heart. There was something SO cold
cut in the generals tones that the cor
poral felt repugnance at his prisoner
being in his especial keeping. He pre-
ferred that she should be sent to some
one else and was relieved when he an
nounced his intention to shift the re
sponsibility. Besides the corporal
hoped that he would himself DO intrust'
ed with her keeping until she should
arrive ut some camp where the com.
mander would be willing TO receive her.
"Shall Oh take her 10 headquarters.

"Ah, my man, said the general. as
though awakened from reverie, -"are
you hereg l had forgotten you"
"Oi can conduct her TO headquarters
IL you desire it, general.
II am not in the habit Of receiving
suggestions from my brigade OF regi-
mental commanders, much less cor.
poral.
Ratigan saw that he had made mis-
take and said nothing. The general re-
garted him with his shrewd eyes. II
was plain TO him that tho man was in
terested in his prisoner.
Corporal, you may so to your camp. y
"Yes, sir.
"Ordcrly." called the general to a
man standing near, take this woman

While the general did not use words
he could not resist last attempt with

his piercing eyes. TO overawe his pris-
oner. She met that gaze firmly, un-
flinchingly, till she was without the
tent: then with final glance Of con-
tempt she turned and walked toward
the ambulance.
The general called her back.
"You do not seem well satisfied with
my treatment Of you." he said in a
tone in which there was something Of
sarcasm. 1--WE soldiers must do our du-
ty."
1T is not your doing your duty, gen
eral, that fails 20 win my respect. IL Is
that You have not the manliness to do

Again the two pairs Of eyes met and
clasbed. The victory was with the wo-
man. The general lowered his 10 the
ground.
"You may go, he said.
As soon as she was gone he went to a
tent where there were writing materials
and wrote note. which he sealed and
addressed. Giving il to the little captain,
he directed him TO send il, with tho pris-
oner and the dispatches captured on
her, to the officer whose name was on

Grasshoppers are SAL to be more nu-
merous in certain portions of the Rogue
River Valley this season, than for many
years, and in some places have been more
or less destructive. Recently at the
former Roper place, on east side of Bear
creek, now tenanted by Harry Green, the
hoppers threatened to ruin young peach
orchard, attacking the foliage vlciously
Mr.. Green undertook a plan to kill the
hoppers that is said to have worked most
successfully. Taking a quantity of bran,
molasses and arsenic, he mixed these in
gradients up into n tempting potion, and
scattered it in small piles on the ground
over the orchard. The hoppers gathered
around the medicine in myrlads and par
took with the result that they were soon
heaped up over the ground three or four
deep, but fortunately dead Enough of
the grasshoppers were not left to do fur
ther damage. The cost for covering the
H-acre orchard was about $40. This
remedy is worthy the attention of those
who are bothered with grasshoppers

Gov. Evans says that just as soon
as it is shown that the real owners
of the S outhern Railway are the real
purchasers of the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Road, and the re.
organization has been undertaken,
hewould direct that legal proceedings
be instituted to see that the charter
was annulied, and that the combina-
ton was not effected. lie said that
he has already advised the Secretary
of State not to record any railroad
reorganization or charter papers until
they were referred to the Attorney
Generals Office. 1t the case of the
reorganization of the Port Royal and
Western Carolina Road could not be
reached by the new constitution he
said that there was no doubt in his
mind that it was case that was fully
covered by the existing statute law.
Governor Evans says that the people
of the State have repeatedly express ed
themselves against the consolidation
of competing Zines, and that he ex
poets to see every fragment of law
exhausted in trying to defeat the cx-
pected consolidation.
AS to the Port Royal and August:
case Governor Evans is confident as
to the final result, and he thinks thai
the Federal courts will sustain the
State courts in the matter. He is
somewhat disappointed that the cas-
should have taken this long to reach
a final settlement, as it has been il

years.

of the fact that their past lives are

of THE Ladies Home Journal Mr..

"Girls, that is, the right kind Of
girls, do not prefer the company.of
this sort. Doubtless, you have come
across instances where this rule has
been otherwise; so.haye I. But it is
all in the seeming, and not in the

girls have as high an estimate ofpugs

woman. There are, of course, cases
to the contrary, but these are few
Where girls marry men who are
known to have led what is called
worldly life, it is more generally due
to misunderstanding Of facts or to,
ignorance than people imagine. There
is type of girls who find a. peculiar

to a man. If she were not she would
be very apt to change the adjective
