The hearing of the case OF Herman
Sterk. late merchant doing business in
Hancock, occupied the attention OF the
circuit court yesterday afternoon and
furnished no end OF amusement Tor the
LAWYERS and Others present. Leyi Hurst.
field, Of Chicago, through his attorneys,
Messrs, Dunstan & Hanchette, had Sterk
cited to appear before the circuit Judge
for cross examination as to the reason
Of his failure and to draw out other in
formation if possible regarding the same.
Az the case proceeds it is surprising to
see how little Mr.. Sterk knows about his
own business. Among those who at
tended the court could be seen a large
number OF Portage Lake business people
who we're evidently there to get pointers
az to how Mr.. Sterk failed in the unique
manner he did.
1t will be remembered that Sterk ran a
clothing store in Hancock and some
three weeks ago made an assignment in
favor OF number ofcreditors, Through
bills produced and other evidence fur
nished it was shown that Sterk had pur-
chased and received at Hancock since
spring goods:to the amount OF $4,000.
but when an..inventory OF the stock was
made only about $1,000 worth OF goods
we're iouud'inIthe store. neither could any
accounts OF the sale OF the same be found.
1t was to gain Information regarding the
disposal Of these goods that Mr.. Hurst
field, one OF his many creditors, had him
brought before the circuit Judge, but to
what avail remains.to be seen.

Sweet stream Of perfume air
Exhaled from terraces Whore roses bloom, I
From meadows tapestried by Flora's loom,
From uplands where the hay Is tossed at morn.
From groves OF pine trees, resinous and warm
From these thou contest TO my garden fair,
Sweet summer wind.

Cool stream from out the west,
From azure haze that lies ON summer sea,
From pleasant caves and shade Of spreading

From rivers where the sunbeams wantor

From lilied lakes, sun pierced like chrysolite-
From these thou comes1 to my fevered breast
Cool summer wind.

Invisible and sweet,
Like time, a river flowing fast by me.

The red bean and the dahlia toss and bow.
My heart is lighter, and pray that thou

Thee. gentle wind.

oueer Food japan Sends Us.

"Japan Is heavy shipper of outlandish
food to the new world" says the Philadel-
phia Times. lit has apractical monopoly
of the nests which are used in making
birds nests soup, which, by the way,
when prepared by an American chef, Is
the most delicious dish of its class in the
world 1t also catches and dries armies
of devilfisb which are as popular In the
east as dried Goldfish in the west. In fact,
the two sea foods are very much alike In
flavor and differ chiefly in their texture,
the flesh of the devilflsh being hard, COM
pact and moro like muscle than that of the
familiar cod. Tree mushrooms and sea
mushrooms are two other famous Japanese
edibles that come to us across the Pacific.
They resemble mushrooms in their con-
tour and structure, but in nothing else.
The tree mushroom boils away in cooking
very much as if IL were made OF marine
glue. In fact, it is used in Japan for
making vegetable gelatin for thickening
stews and soups in very much the same
manner as we convert the bladders of
surgeons and other fishes into animal
gelatin for similar purpose.
"Dried fishes are another important ex-
port from the land of the mikado. Unlike
us, the Japanese dry almost every eatable
fish, from minnows and whitehall up to
marine animals as large as the sturgeon
and the swordfsh. Their drying appears
to be conducted upon a different system
from our own. When ready for the mar
ket their fishes are so dried as to suggest
kiln dried timber. They apply the same
process to the lower forms Of sea life and
dessicate clans, mussels, oysters, prawns,
shrimps, crawflsh and crabs until they re-
semble stone. In this condition the foods
will withstand any climate and may be
kept in the open air without spelling for
an entire twelvemonth."

London debt is 80 per cent lighter for

man wanted to make money and was
not scrupulous in regard to the manner
in which he might secure it. So he be-
came spy, joined the French army.
and, with the persistent energy which
belonged to him, managed at last to
reach the bureau of the general staff,
where he was employed asa clerk Soon
important documents were missing, and
suspicion at last fell upon the rather
morose but extremely diligent officer.
Copies of documents of vital Importance
were found in his possession. The copies
were in his own handwriting, and he
was actually found at work upon one
of them, which, when finished, he put
into his valise and carried away to a
place where he had rendezvous with
an officer who was said to be attached
to the German embassy in Paris When
this officer appeared upon the scene,
the detectives Immediately arrested
Dreyfus. and the discriminating docu-
ment was secured
This is all that the outside public
was allowed to know of the case. The
contents of the papers were not reveal

them, but up to the present time no.
body outside of the general staff really
knows anything about them. 1t has been
said that the information supplied by
Dreyfus to the German government was
of SO serious character that the entire
plan for the mobilization of the French
army had to be altered and that the rec
ord of his trial contained a state secret
the revelation of which would imme-
diately be followed by war between
France and Germany.
But, after all, there are many people
in France who believe that Dreyfus IL
innocent. M. Scheurer- Kestner, the vice
president of tho French senate, has re-
peatedly expressed the belief that Drey'
fus is the victim of conspiracy, while
the majority of senator's and members
of the assembly are sure that it is M.

NARRATIVE OF A SPY.
CRIME FOR WHICH Ex-CAPTAlN
DREYFUS WAS CONVICTED.

Information Supplied by Him to the Ger
man Government Was of a Very Serious
Cbaracter-Many People In France Still
Believe Him Innocent.
The romance which from time to time
is thrown around the conviction of ex-
Captain Dreyfus is very interesting, but
unfortunately for the convict it is only
a romance. The idea of his innocence
was probably created by French novel
that appeared some time before his ar
rest and the hero of which was captain
in the French army, who was the VIC
tim of conspiracy. Singularly enough
the story fitted the case of Dreyfus very
well except in one very important point,
his innocence.
But the impressionable composition
OF many French minds assumed form
OF suspicion in regard to the justice of
the traitors conviction, suspicion
whose only real foundation was the fact
that his trial was conducted with closed
doors. All sorts of sensational stories
were told of the condemned man, espe-
cially in the English papers, in which
his escape, or, rather, his many escapes,
were detailed in a style worthy of the
yellowest journalism
The fact is that Dreyfus was convict
ed on the clearest evidence. There was
no possibility of any conspiracy against
him. He was caught at his infamous
work and only escaped the death sen
tence by the law which fails to pre-
scribe capital punishment for treason il
time Of peace
Technically Dreyfus was not a traitor
he was simply German spy and &
dangerous enemy of France His family

And birds that once were singing sweet
Will soon forget to sing.
But love Is still rose. my dear.
And winters sweet az spring.

What though the mists are gray
And violets are a fair, far dream
In phantom fields Of Mayf
What though the streams have lost their

And birds forget TO singf
There's music In the heart my dear.
And winters sweet a. spring.
