But Michele was not comfortcd.
CHAPTER Nv

Eastlake was busy and did not go out
to the DumaresQ's for n few days after
the water picnic. He went to the great
gathering that assembled near the town to
see the athletic sports. however, and
there. i'll the midst of a throng of ear
riascs outside the ring. he distinguished
Mr.. DumarcsI's family md friends. In
the course of the afternoon he made his
way to their carriage and spoke to Mrs.
Dumarcsq. He thought she looked UNI
easy and p%erturbcd.
flames is somewhere about the course
with the children" she said. "Michelle
had IL headache and did not cume.'
Michele did not come! Eastlake turn
ed md looked ut Mrs. Dumaresu with un-
feigned nmaZement. Michele STAYING
away from the great festive event of the
season! She had been wild about Har-
ODDS chance of the prize for the high
jump and the one-mile race, a week be-
fore! Eastlake's own pleasure in the
afternoon was married. He had been rex
ed with Michele certainly: but he was
quite ready to forgive her on the slight
est sign of penitcnce.
1t was hard upon him to see Anne and
Lawrence SO evidently absorbed in one
another. He had never before known
Anne to manifest the slightest preference
for one man above another: and even
now she was gentle and kind and courte-
ous to every one who spoke to her and
perfectly quiet and self-restrained in her
intercourse with Lawrence. But she paid
such close attention to his remarks, and
the color rose in her fair face when he
drew ncar in such a way that she betray.
ed to obscrvant eyes the fact of her inter
est in him. He. on his side, was much
less guarded than was she, and devoted
himself to her with tender assiduity.
Eastlake dined in town, but went out
to Ramleh next day. Michele was not
ut an afternoon party. where he hoped to
meet her; SO at last he called at Mrs. Du-
maresq's. The house looked deserted.
The children were out: Mrs. Dumaresq
and Miss Carteret had gone to see a
cricket match; Miss Dumaresq was taking
care of the little howags, who was i'll.

Busines. Improvement.

The trade journals report very large
sales of steel rails, in part at the very
low rate of SIS per ton, but latterly
at the better. though still cheap, price
of $50 and $21 per ton. In all not far
short Of a million tons are ordered
from the Illinois Steel Company and
the Carnegie Company, the division be-
ing pretty a equal. Smaller firms
also have taken up contracts at like
rates. This insures several months of
steady employment to a large number
of men. The demand for wooden goods
has improved and there is a slight bet
terment in the cotton manufacturing
industry. The boot and shoe factories
are buster than they have been for q
long time and the prospects seem ia
vorable to q continuance of healthy &C.
tivity. The prices Of wheat, cotton,
and iron are a shade higher than a
week ago, and this, in conjunction with
a money market that is well adapted
to the encouragement of industrial en-
terprises. should lead to an increase in
the purchasing power of the people,

American in the White House.
The country can again hold up It's
head. We have once more an Ameri-
can in the White House, man who
believes in America and in Americans,
who is the friend of the American peo-
pie and not the plant tool of their
shrewd foreign rivals; a statesman
who puts American interests and
American prosperity first and who will
give protection to American labor, to
American industries and to the Ameri-

The Question of Rates

President Mc1linley's platform said.
''The question of rates is a practical
question, to be governed by the condi-
tions Of time and of production" This
ought to be n sufficient answer to the
free-traders who are now so exercised
to learn the rates of the new tariff law,
whether they are to be '.high' or ''low."
But nothing eve is a sufficient answer
to the free-traders, nothing ever can
end their empty clamor, not even such

weyler.s Paper Promises.

Our "Grcenbackers' should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiments being tried. If greenbacks
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
i've weapons against Cuban rebels?"-
reasons General Weyler. who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with artistically
engraved promises TO pay On one side Of
piece of paper and picture Of well
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be suc-
cessful, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
ises for their face value is subject to in
slant imprisonment in jails where con-
fnement means almost certain death.
Of course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted. Weyler, however,
forgot to decree that prices should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices So far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly
metals. What boon plenty of money
would be to mankindl Success to Wey-
ler's experiment and death to the traitor
whootries to prevent its success by rais-
ing prices or by refusing to accept Wey-
ler's handsome promisesl

CALF GUMPTIoN.

Dairymen who take pride in theiI
calling, and eventually have the best
success, are apt to raise theirown COWS.
There are good reasons for doing 50.
One is that by bringing strange cows
into the herd there is some danger OF
introducing various diseases, such 81
tuberculosis, abortion, etc.
The farmer who sells the COW you
get does not sell his best cows.
Calves should be gradually accus-
TONED to all chan es.
1t is very important that the troughs
from which the calves feed be kept
clean and sweet.
Never 8 arye and never overfeed.
The care Of calves is best left to the
women folks. They have the needed
patience and gealeness.
Make pets Of he young things; ham
die them great deal.
Some dislike to remove the CALI at
once on the ground OF cruelty to the
COW, but the cruelty is much greater to
leave the calf with the COW longer
time and then remove 1t. She frets
much less.
II you raise your own cows you onlv
save the calves from your best cows.
Like begets like.

at once to crowd out OF use el.tn d con

Seventh. Gold has been adopted EJ
the principal civilized nations as pri-
mary money or tho standard of values
because of its greater niati.ot value, its
less weight for given sum of money
and its least fuctuation in market value

Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ne, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true of paper
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.

"Going into decline" How often dc
we hear this expression. What does il
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putrifes in
the stomach, developing poisonous sub
stance which when absorbed cause various
disorders.
What is required is that the stomach be
made to perform its duties. The Shaker
Digestive Cordial is food already digested
and digester Of foods as well. 1t will
make the stomach healthy. Get book
from the druggist and read about it.

WHAT is MONEY!
snhtect Clearly Explained by a Colleg,
p.osidax+ a+ n Ea.n,a.a, c,o....o.a4io.. q

Gnhtect Clearly Explained by q College
President at q Farmers Convention.
The following is part of the synopsis
printed by the Milton (Wis. Journal of
an excellent address by President Whit
ford of Milton college before the farm
ers' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton 1t contains some very lucid
statements of money and of the power of
governments to7fx value:
First.-Two separate and distinct val
ues are assigned to money, one being
the intrinsic or market value of the ar
ticle used; the other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what Is popularly
called money has only one Of these
values.
Second The common practice of
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex-
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges This
practice furnishes the first essential con-
dition for system of bimetalIisna,
Third Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which is
made of precious metals. very generally
gold and silver Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned or
held redeemable in these metals.
Fourth. The market value of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason Of which they are almost univer-
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey Government or custom can add
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
70 such metals and other articles used as
a medium of exchange. But the real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one established
by the laws of trade, not by the edicts Of
government
Fifth. &C Government itself cannot fix |
or control the market value or price Of |
any metal or other commodity. whether
used as money or in the practical arts. |
So it cannot make fiat money and conn
pei the people to circulate it great |
length of time as money Of any sort.
Sixth.--Any coins or other money
whose market value Is less than their
face value always soon expel from cir
all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according to
their weights unless the former are re-
deelnable b the latter. Whenever coin |
