that? If you are but housekeepers, as you

The woman was ready and anxious to tell
anything Gerard had been selected to do
something-what 1t was exactly she did
know-but there was horse and cart and
he was to drive 1t. Where the horse and
cart were she also did not know. But
Gerard had driven cart before in his
work for baker, and ne was to drive one
in connection with some scheme among the
members of the club. But lie pauvre Gerard
at the last minute dsliked to drive the
cart-he had fear. He did not say he had
fear, but he prepared letter-a letter that
was not signed. The letter was to be sent
to the police, and it told them the where

police might seize these things, and then
there would be nothing for Gerard, who

The man looked up again as they spoke.
The policeman had. in accordance with

up. he caught sight of it. He started Wis

abject terror the policeman had pre-
viously observed. He appeared nervous
and uneasy. however. and presently reached
stealthily toward the loaf. Hewitt con-
tinued to talk to the doctor while closely
watching the Frenchman's behavior from
the corner of his eye. The loaf is what is
called a plain cottage" of solid and regu-

mediately turned it bottom up on the table
Then he sank back in his chair with a
more contented expression though his
gaze was still directed toward the loaf
The policeman grinned silently at this
curious maneuver.
The doctor left. and Hewitt accompanied
him to the door of the room. "He will not
be moved just yet, l take it?'' Hewitt
asked, as they parted.

replied. "Are you anxious to keep him

Pen and paper were brought and set be-

only object was to restore him to his proper
health. Would he write his name and ad-
dress and any other information he might
care to give about himself on the paper

The Frenchman took the pen and stared
at the paper. Then slowly and with much
hesitation he traced these marks:

WASHINGTON, March 13.-In re-
viewing an article by Veterinarians
Boysen and Walters on the impor.
tation of American beef cattle, the
Hygenische Rundscbau, of Ham,

says: "The authors protest against
the misrepresentation and fears
which are scattered through the pa

cattle in America to an enormous
degree, and also that pleuro -pneu-

that American stock raisers are
forced on this account to ship their
cattle to Europe at merely nominal
prices. In Hamburg, from the
year 1889 to the present time, there
were in all l,lO4, and in other
German cities altogether 9lS
imported cattle slaughtered. These
animals were subjected to a care

before being Slaughtered, but after
wards. 1t was impossible to find
pleuro-pneumonia in single case,
while tuberculosis was present in
only four Of those animals. In two

were condemned, while with the
other two it was only necessary to

afflicted with tuberculosis, where
twenty per cent, of German steers
in Hamburg have been
found with tuberculosis. 1t is
noticed, paresthetically that,

are entirely free from liver

the condition Of this stock as fully
equal to that raised on home

Ohio-The crop is fair to good,
though reported even in some
counties. Rye is doing we'll and

Miehigan-Reports conditions
good so far as known, but snow
still covers much OF the crop. The
greatest danger at present comes
from ice blankets formed by melt
ing drifts. Rye is good,
neutrality-suspicious. are very
favorable, most of the correspond
ents reporting a high condition.
Rye is generally doing well.
Missouri-A good many counties
report the crop only fair or poor.
Too dry weather last fall was one
of the principal causes. The snow
has done much to improve it. Ave-
rage fair. Rye were planted is
generally good.
Kansas-Reports greatly vary
condition. Some localities report
outlook as unusually good, while
others report the crop as badly
blown out on sandy lands or much
damaged.
Nebraska-Reports are quite
good, although in some localities
the crop has been hurt by high
winds blowing it up. Too dry
weather is reported in some cases,
but great many counties have
excellent prospects. Rye is averag-
ing better than wheat.
Observation-Disclosures are not
good at present. 1t does not ap-
pear to be possible for the crop to
escape without a serious disaster
In Minnesota and the Dakotas
little is grown any year and the
conditions will not greatly affect
