Mr.. Wilson spent lonely and wor-
ried two weeks, though in the bottom Of
his heart, he did not doubt that his wife
would be successful-he had seen her
meet too many perplexities to lack con-
fdence in her ability. In his heart, also.
he knew that all his assumption of her
dependence upon his superior judg-
ment was but a pretty play of his own,
whereby his value to her seemed en-
HANGED.
Promptly to the day, Mrs. Wilson re-
turned, bright and fresh from what had
been to her a vacation from the indoor
life she had been leading, joyous at see
| ing the family, and elated at her success.
For it had been a success, as the we'll
filed pages of the order hook testified.
"Only two of your customers refused
to buy of me, Asbury," she announced.
as she quite breathlessly relieved her
self of the details of her venture, ~and
they were old Mr.. Green, of Hinesville,
who 'reckoned he'd wait for the Occi-
dental company's man. and a man up
at Great Bow, who talked through his

wards they really seemed to like to or
der from me, and as I have had prac-
teal experience with SO much of the
goods that you carry, I could add my
knowledge to what you had told me,
and so my orders grew amazingly"
Mr.. Wilson was enthusiastic over his
wife's success, and as he praised her un-
stintedly, the thought went through
his mind that when rosy little woman,
with bright eyes and dimple-cleft chin,
held the order book, a merchant would
need some of the adamant in his ma
ture to keep his orders from growing.
During the weeks that he was con-
fined to the house, Mrs. Wilson came
and went over his route, with the result
that when he could take his place again,
the firm for which he worked sent an
offer of steady employment to NJ. A.

that has been bearing fruit for 80 years.
It is yellow bellfower, and was
planted when this whole region was

the ground it measures nine feet six
inches in circumference, and it would
take basket 4s feer wide to set under

Energy from Volcanic Heat.

The energy stored in the coal beds
has rightly been referred back to the
sun, and it is no doubt to the same
source that we should ultimately at
tribute the heat developed at great
depths below the surface of the earth.
While it is believed that no practical at
tempts to utilize this subterranean heat
have yet been carried into effect, there
appears to be no good reason why the
attempt should not be made, especially
in volcanic regions, where quite high
temperatures should be revealed at
moderate depths. In a Colorado min.
ing town an interesting combination
was recently observed which a little in
genuity might have converted into a
considerable source of power. Within
20 feet of each other were two springs,
one of temperature of nearly 200 de-
grees Fahrenheit and the other not
over 60, the flow of each being very uni
form and the temperature quite con-
slant. The theoretical efficiency might
readily be determined from the we'll
known law of thermodynamics, and the
use of one stream to vaporize and the
other to condense some volatile LIQUID.
such as ammonia or bisulphide of car.
bon, might enable fair percentage OF
the energy to be utilized which is now
running to waste.-C CASTER Magazine.

earned IL they would not work, and
would be given five days to vacate the
company houses. The strikers saw that
only IS men out Of 235 were at work
in the Plum Creek mine yesterday. The
company claims that almost a full force
was working. The strikers are hopeful
that the remaining diggers will quit
work after getting their pay. The Plum
Creek men were not paid yesterday and
1t is expected that the company will
require the men to sign a new agree

The Sandy Creek miners are awaiting
developments. They are hopeful the
courts will set aside the contracts Of

BOYLE TALKS OF THE CASE.
Thinks State Home Rule a Myth If Judge
Williams Is Right.

Kansas City, Aug. 10.-The Times this
morning prints an Interview with At
torney General Boyle, of Kansas, as
to the issue raised between the Kansas
authorities and the federal courts. The
attorney general states that he has no
desire to defy any one, but that he is
simply acting according to his duty un-
der the laws of Kansas. He explains
that the state laws are plain that ne
foreign insurance company shall do
business in the state without a license
from the superintendent of insurance
The Mutual Life. he says. has no such
license, though its general agent. Nc
Lord. continues to solicit business. The
attorney general adds that if the in
surance commissioner is Illegally with
holding license from that company
the courts of the state are open to the
company to compel the commissioner to
grant such d license, ard he adds that
the corporation has seen fit to wholly
ignore the state courts and continues
to do business in violation of the law.
Continuing, Attorney General Boyle
says: This is a positive defiance Of
our state laws. 1t cannot be possible
that Judge Williams means by his or
der that he will restrain an executive
officer of sovereign state from doing
his plain duty. If federal judge of
Arkansas. while taking his baths at a
summer resort in Colorado, can suspend
for a limited time the operation of any
portion of the laws of the state Kansas,
then a federal judge. no matter where
he may be, can stop the whole ma
