Meter Harris Puts the Blame Upon AS.

Slstant MeIteT Jones.
Carson. New. April 25.-Melter and Re.
finer Harris was again placed on the
stand in the mint investigation. He
claimed there were several instances in
Assistant Meter Jones' books where an
improper record had been kept of the
combination melts. and that the records
were evidently made in order to prevent
the identity of the bullion. He also stated
that the shortages since 1891 were over
1922. 900. In the morning he testified that
the key to the refining room was found
in the desk, once used by Jones, but this
afternoon admitted that 1t was found by
workmen while cleaning up a vault. The
defense seems to have the best of 1t to-
day.

called him aside for moment. Then
putting into his hands small object,

THE END.
SUSTENANCE IN THE PEANUT.
1t Is Something More Than a Circus
Luxury,

Luxury.
1t is not, even yet, generally known
that the peanut which has been so
popular for n long time as n semi
luxury-especially on circus days-is
in reality food material of remark
able sustaining power. This fact has
been demonstrated by experiments in
German hospitals, where the value of
soup made from peanut meal-t.nt is,
the meal left after the oil of the nuts
had been expressed for other purposes
was so fully demonstrated that the
ministry of war of that great country
is contemplating the introduction of
peanut meal as a ration of the German
army. The peanut, as is well known,
is q herbaceous annual of the pulse
family. 1t grows in the southern
states, and throughout the tropics. 1t
has one popularity which is worthy Of
mention. The plants bloom above the
ground as is natural; but after the de-
cay of the petals, the flower stalks,
which alone bear fruit, bend over and
penetrate the ground to the depth of
several inches. On these the nuts
grow, the plants being killed by the
first frost, when the fruitage ripens.

two years, stood in the presence of the
company.
The revulsion Of feeling, irdescriba-
BILE by words, was quickly told by
fast-fowing tears. Looking upon the
old man and the child, everyone pres
ent read new chapter in the home
tragedy, and wcpt in its presence.
Coming from the dark night into the
light, the old man could not for mo-
ment discern the faces he knew, and
when the little one, shrinking from
the glare, hid her face in his hair, it
was as if time had turned back, so per-
feet restoration was the picture of
a familiar one of the old days. No
word had yet been spoken, and the
ticking of the great clock and the
cracking fire mingled with sobs
were the only sounds that broke the
stiffness, when the old man, having
gotten his bearings, walked directly
up to old Mrs. Meredith and laid the
child in her arms. Then, losing no
time but, pointing to the clock that
was slowly nearing the hour, he said,
in a voice tremulous with emotion:
"De time is most here. Is you all
ready to shel1 hands? Eff you is
everybody-turn round and come with
me-"
AS he spoke, he turned back to the
still open door, and before those who
had followed had taken in his full
meaning, he had drawn into the room
a slim, shrinking figure, and little May
Day Meredith, pale, frightened and
weather-beaten, stood before them.
If it was her own father who was
first to grasp her hand, and if he car
ried her in his arms to her mother, it
was that the rest deferred to his first
claim, and that their hearty and af-
fectionate greetings came later in their
