Wednesday, July 25tb, In jackson, to
crowded house. The discussion
was opened by Hon. j. M. Trout,
who spoke most vigorously in discuss
sing the leading issues of the day
with some critical thrusts al the other
three candidates. LII his speech he
especially called OH Mr.. Sims to ex-
plain how he had disposed of the
$4,000 he drew from the National
Treasury to pay for clerk hire when
he (Sims) had acknowledged that COIL
gress being Republican he had been
unable to accomplish but little except
to vote. "Why did he need help to

followed Trout, making about the
same speech thai he had previously
printed and scattered over the dis
trict. Said he was not beggar nor
political mendicant. If the people eli.
dorsed his record then he would like
to have the nomination. In answer
to Mr.. Trouti's criticism about the
$4,000 paid for clerk hire, he said he
had paid it in different amounts to
sundry parties, but that not dollar
had ever gone into bis ow4 pocket.

speaker. When he arose the ap'

had read the speech published BY

Miss Robertson opened the door with
latch-key. After climbing two flights
OF stairs 1 was ushered into q plainly
furnished but exquisitely neat and
clean room. There was lamp on the
table, under the light of which an old
woman sat sewing. Before CRATE fire
sat man who must have been an ex-
ceedingly handsome fellow in his
youth. Even at 65 his white hair and
bushy beard and eyebrows gave no sign
OF illness, for his complexion was as
rosy as that of child, and as his keen
ears detected the step of stranger
there was almost the elasticity of youth
In the way he stood up and, holding to
the arm of his chair, waited for ex-
plantations.
Miss Robertson nodded to the old
woman and kissed her father.
Papa dear, here is gentleman who
wants to talk to you about your work.
BY the way, it has just occurred to me
that 1 do not know your name. This
Is terribly improper, is it not?" She
smiled as she took her fathers hand in
hers and gently pstted it. The old man
waited silently.
"Yon see, papa dear. this gentleman
has been very kind in helping me at
the library; and tonight, as had no
umbrella and as IL was raining, he in
sisted upon bringing me home"
"You are welcome, sir. Ellen, has the
gentleman a chair?" And until he
heard me sit down the old man re-
manned standing. "You wish to see me
shout my book on the Spanish Inquisi-
ton. Are you publisher"

said: "Ahi" with smile. That was
all.

every one OF them gave q deep sigh as
she did So"
"Did I sigh too?"
"You were the fifth"
1T was not covetousness that made
me SIGH" she said. 1T was the sight of
that umbrella held against what was
supposed to be a driving storm. Have
you ever noticed how easy it is to run
into lamppost or into another person
when you carry an umbrella in that
way? or course you have. My poor
father .nade that observation several
years ago. and was unfortunate enough
to devise remedy"
"UnfortunateT
"Yes. Do you remember my men
tioning, the day we first met, that my
fathers eyesight had been slmost de-
stroyed by an accident? One night
during a storm, when people staggered
blindly along, their umbrellas held
straight In front of them, a woman put
the point of her umbrella into my ia
theirs eye. At the time he thought but
little OF the matter, but some nerve
was injured, and he has been almost
blind ever since. That is nearly three
years ago. While laid up, he invented
q way to prevent such accidents. He
proposed to sew an eyeglass into the
umbrella, so that person could look
ahead and avoid any obstruction"
Not bad idea, should think. !
suppose he patented it and lost a pile
of money; inventors always do"
YES, he lost more money than we
could afford, making experiments, and
| did my best to spoil dozen fine um-
brellas-we had quite lot of them
by cutting holes in them and sewing
in bits of glass that wouldn't STAY in
place after ALL"
"But the patent? Why couldn't he
sell that for lots of money!"
THE patent? Oh. he never got pat
ent. 1t seems that some one took a
patent on the same idea more than 40
years ago. 1t cost papa about $500 to
ind that out. Patent lawyers are ex.
pensive. Poor papaI Between the

"Oh, yes. But when he found that
he couldn't get patent he lost heart
and put the dozen umbrellas away in
a corner, each umbrella with big
hole but with no glass rs yet. That's
why l have no umbrella to-day"
blessed invention!" ventured, and
really meant it,
Miss Robertson flushed slightly.
"You wouldn't say so if you knew
what it has cost u.s."
Il know an umbrella maker" went
on. Hes an intimate friend of mine.
Do you think your father would object
to my taking one of his sample um-
brellas to my friend? Patent or no
patent, it might be worth something.
You might at least get your $500 back
again"
You are very kind. Twill speak to
him about 1t. Here is my street; good

WHEN TO CUT HAH.
Not he Subject to Important
MOdiflca tiOns.

As a general proposition It is best
to cut hay just as 1t is blooming; but
this rule may be subject to modifica-
tions according as we want the hay for
feeding dairy cows, horses or other
stock. For horses It is probably bet
ter to have the hay well along toward
maturity. Storer in one of his books
says that zone strong objection that
works against the early cutting of hay
is the tendency of hay made from
immature grasses to loosen the bowels
Of animals that feed upon it. This
fact alone precludes the use of such
hay for werking horses. All newly
made hay has laxative and loosening
effect upon animals. Such hay cannot
be sold to the keeper of livery stable,
because. as he would say, he has no
wish to soften down his horses. Horse
keepers are Of the opinion that this
laxative quality Of new hay endures
until the hay has passed through a
process Of sweating. which occurs in
the NOW. No matter how dry the hay
is at the time 4 is put in the barn, it
is held that It will always sweat some
what in the NOW. BY October the
process is completed, so that the hay
Is At for use, provided 1t was ripe
enough when mown. But in the case
Of hay made from young grass. as
rowen. for example, the medicinal
quality persists, and such hay is
thought to be always unfit for horses
that are kept at work, since II is apt
to weaken them, to make them sweat
easily, and to render them liable to
stumble" -
Such 10 the opinion of Storer. How
far IL 10 borne out in the experience 6f

What is e
Cream of
Tartar I?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid
of the fruit is crystallized and precipitated.
This is collected, refined to absolute purity,
and ground to powder. This is cream of
tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful ofleaven-
ing agencies and most healthful food article
This highly refined acid of the grape,
or cream of tartar, is the material from
which Royal Baking Powder is made. 1t
is many times more expensive than ingre-
dients used in many baking powders, but
being healthful in itself, it adds healthfulness
to the food instead of degrading it.
In imitation baking powders poisonous alum
is used instead OF heahful cream Of tartar
Alum powders seriously affect the health.
