again until the carriage drew up at the
brownstone mansion which earlier in
the day Sneed would have called bis

them, but the old man succeeded in es-
Gaping to his room, leaving John to bat
tie with the newspaper men.
Next morning the papers were full Of
the news Of the panic. They said that
old Druce had gone in his yacht for q
trip up the New England coast. They
deducted from this fact that, after all,
bruce might not have had hand in
the disaster. Everything was always
blamed on Druce Still, it was admitted
that, whoever suffered, the bruce stocks
were all right. They were quite unani-
mously frank i'll saying that the Sneeds
were wiped out, whatever that might
mean. The general had refused himself
to all the reporters, while young Sneed
seemed to be able to do nothing but
swear.
Shortly before noon General Sneed,
who had not left the house, received q
letter brought by "A messenger.
He feverishly tore it open, for he rec
ognized the well known scrawl of the
great speculator.

who might else become purse proud. We are

One of the pleasantest of the spring
time anniversaries is the birthday Of
John James Audubon, which occurs
May 4. If Audubon had lived, he would
now he more than 100 years old. But
he died in 1851. after having written
some of the most valuable books which
have ever been printed about birds and
their ways. The birthday of Audubon
should be a reminder to the children
that great and good man once devoted
his whole life to studying the pretty
feathered songsters And they should
resolve that they will at least do all
they can to preserve the birds from
harm during the coming spring and
summer. Perhaps upon Audubon S birth
day the boys and girls will form new

for some reason or other they prefer
to have their goous arrayed not in

it appears THAT such competitor has

Since Gold Dust Washing Pow

the necessity for The N. K. Fair

imitation is the tribute paid to sue

would be the sufferers if the tribute
were NOT disdained. The Fairbank

SMOKING MEAT WITHOUT FIRE.


1t may sound absurd to make a
statement about Smoking meat
without fire." for it is we'll known
saying that ''where there is smoke
Their must be fire." The advance of
science, however, has made this idea
obsolete, and today with the use Of
Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke it
is possible to quickly, economically
and successfully smoke meat without
a fire. This liquid extract is made by
distilling the smoke from hickory
wood and is absolutely harmless. In
fact, meat smoked by this method
has a genuine smoke flavor, remains
moist and soft, and is not infested
with insects. Every objection of the
old method is overcome, every trou-
BILE ended and the unsightly and dam
gerous smokehouse is a thing of the
past. Krausers' Liquid Extract Of
Smoke long ago passed the age of ex-
pertinent, and thousands are using it
today with profit and satisfaction.
By writing E. Krauser & Bro, Mil
ton, Pa, those who are interested
can secure free of charge instructive
printed matter about methods of cur
ing and smoking all kinds of meats.
