When Jared Peters went west to help
the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne
thought her heart was broken. TINS
was a logical sequence of the firm con-
viction that she could not live without
Jared. which had led her to engage
herself to him. In accordance with tnls
fixed idea, she, for a day or two, re-
fused food, and mournfully conteh-
plated the prospect of an early demise
But an immature mind cannot long
dominate young and healthy ply
sique. On the third day she made sew
eral surreptitious visits to the pantry;
on the fourth day she dined openly ana
heartily; and the day after she was
startled by the discovery that she had
not thought of Jared for several hours.
The Sunday following Jared's de-
parture, she permitted Harold Winter
set. the son of wealthy manufactures
from neighboring city, to accompany
her home from church and linger for
an hour at the gate; and she was again
startled by the discovery that she en-
joyed his society quite as much as
JaTed's.
Then she went upstairs and sat down
in the moonlit window to consider.
She had all the rules of love a her
fingers ends. She knew that Absence
makes the heart grow fonder," that
true love never forgets or wavers for
the fraction of a second. She was
therefore forced to the conclusion that
sne did not love Jared; that she never
had loved him; and the manufacturers
son was allowed to call regularly.
Jared's letters were Intensely inter-
esting. The little western town which
he had taken under his wing was on
"boom" He had already doubled his
small capital and was proceeding to
double it again. Rose had all the rules
of arithmetic also at her fingers ends.
She knew something, of geometrical
progression; and having become, in
view of her large experience, skeptical
in regard to the tender passion, she
planned her future operations on a
strictly commercial basis. After care
full consideration, she decided that
budding Western capitalist in the
hand was worth more than a wealthy
manufacturers son in the bush; so she
did not break her engagement; and
she did not mention Harold in her nu-
merous and entirely satisfactory let
tiers TO Jared.
Although his love was false. Jared
had one devoted admirer. From the
day it was declared that the red-faced
mite of humanity called Jared was the
image of his grandfather, the old man
had found his chief occupation in trac-
ing his own characteristics in the
growing boy.
Hes q Peters, every inch of him."

Agents Jailed for Fra,d.

Decatur, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-John Molloy
and NJ Mahoney, who advertised for
men to work on a street car line, were
arrested by the Decatur police and are
in Jail. An attempt to convict them
of fraud will be made. A number of
men applied last night. Molloy &
Mahoney told the applicants they must
pay down $40 to apply on uniform
and they would be sent to Belleville.
where they would work on the Belle
Vile Traction Company. One of the
men wired the Belleville company and
received word that it had no agents
out and wanted no men. Twenty men
who had been told to come back this
afternoon paid their $40 and got rail-
road tickets.

ana Dagupan Railroad said to Have

Manila, Aug 6.-The towns of Gala
pan, Naujan and Pola, on the north
east coast of the island of Mindoro
were occupied by a battalion of the
Thirteenth Volunteer infantry and
Macabebe scouts after a slight resist
ance. The insurgents, numbering ESQ.,
fed into the interior. Their COM
mander, Howard, who is deserter, is
hiding in the mountains, and the
Americans are in pursuit. Adjutant
General Corbin, who has returned to
Manila after an eleven days tour of
the islands, including a visit to the
Sultan of Jolo, with whom he ex-
changed presents, says: THE trip has
considerably broadened my views as
we'll as affording me great pleasure
personally. What have seen should
be of considerable benefit to the gov
eminent. In my opinion the changes
now being made in the Philippines
could not be carried out by ADLER
hands than those of Governor Taft
and General Chaffee. Both have had
wide experience. Both are men Of tact
separate, and yet in many ways CO.
operative. One could not very we'll
go forward without the other / am
gratifled to observe the firm friend
ship established between them, and
/ am confident that, under their guild
ance, the Philippines will get out OF
trouble into peaceful waters" The
adjutant general left Manila for
Shanghai this afternoon. The civil
commission has chartered a steamear
for trip among the northern islands
in the interest of the establishment
Of civil government. The journey will
be begun in about ten days. Congress-
man Shafroth of Colorado, who has
been closely investigating the oues-
ton Of public lands in the Philippines,
urges the commission to take steps to
establish the homestead laws, allowing
any persons doing work to the value
of 500 on government land to occu-
Ply a certain amount Of it, and, if pos
sible, assisting in stocking it. He also
urges a similar arrangement with ref
erence to mining claims. The troubles
between the Sultan Of Jolo and other
native chiefs, which has resulted in
some fighting and considerable loss Of
life, are being closely watched by the
military authorities, who are ready to
interfere should occasion demand.

was formally announced, his rapture
nearly caused a fit of apoplexy.
When tattling neighbor brought the
news of Roses double-dealing, the old
man fatty refused to believe it; but
when with his own eyes, he saw Rose
and Harold strolling by, arm in arm,
in the dusk, he took to his bed. After
two or three days of misery, mental
and physical, he arose and spent an en-
tire afternoon in inditing a letter
which struck CONSERVATION to Jared's
soul. 1t was vague in manner and
matter, but he gathered from it some
inkling of the truth; and Immediately
wrote-not to Rose, but to one of her
girl friends. By return mail he re-
ceived a spicy and perhaps not unex-

Cottage He,rlooms in England.


1t is still quite q common experience
to find fine and even valuable speci-
mems of old English furniture, chiefly
made of oak, in the cottages of the
village folk. These pieces of furniture
have been handed down from genera
ton to generation of rural folk such
as carriers, keepers, woodmen and
shepherds. How did the family orig
inally come by them? The explana-
ton is this in many cases: Genera
tions ago, when the furniture, which
is once again priced greatly, began to
go out of fashion and to be superseded
by stuff which we view with contempt
nowadays, it was sold and farmers
bought much OF 1t. But by and by, the
farmer being prosperous, and desiring
to be in the fashion, too, like his land
lord, bought in its place more modern
chairs and tables, etc. Then the VIII
lage folk bought for song the de-
spised oak chairs, Golfers, ETC., and
now, once again, the old furniture has
come into favor and is finding its way
back from the cottage to the hail.

Frank Collier Is Dead.

Chicago, Aug. Crank Howard
Collier. the one time brilliant lawyer
and man of affairs, died at the county
hospital unattended by relatives or
friends and ministered to only by the
physician and nurses of the county in
stitution. "Old Frank Collier is still in
the land of the living" said he few
hours before his death, land while
there seems to be a lack Of bouquets at

date magazines, l guess | will be able
to defer the dissolution long enough to

phantoms in time of adversely and
friends are on hand only when there is
a prospect of reward" The death of
Frank Howard Collier brings to a close
one of the most pathetic of lifes cpl
sodes. At one time possessed of wealth
estimated at 100000 and one of the
most brilliant orators in the west he
became impaired in mind as the re-
suit Of blow from a bludgeon during
political campaign about twelve years
ago

Austin. Tex, Aug. 6.-Federal Bank
Inspector ]. M. Logan has closed the
First National bank of this city and
posted notice on its doors that it
would not open to business pending the
arrival Of the chief inspector Alleged
excessive loans are said to have caused
the inspector to take this action. The
state of Texas is said to have some
$40, 900 on deposit in the First National,
though the exact amount is unknown.
Total deposits are reported to be over
100000. No official statement will be

AS Jared's sad, mellow voice died
away with a little break--he felt a
pang of genuine emotion as he remem-
bered poor Wileys face with the bull
let hole in the forehead-Rose's heart
melted. All that was sweet and wom-
anly and good in her untutored soul
rose to the surface. She crossed the
piazza. and laying her hand on Jared's
shoulder, resolutely faced her frown-
ing parents and the cRagrined Harold.
Il shall stand by jared" she said,
in ringing tones.
Jared started to his feet in dismay.
This climax was precisely the opposite
of the one he had courted and ex-
pected. The face of the dimpled Kan
sas girl fitted across his memory, and
then disappeared forever. The BOOM
erang he had launched buried itself
in his own heart. The two young
things who had been playing with the
eternal verities of love and death,
looked into each others eyes, and, by
the white light of the approaching
storm, saw there that which made
them afraid and ashamed of what they
had been doinS-saw the dawn of an
everlasting affection-the affection that
mocks disaster, and calmly ignores
doubters and detractors, as the placid
moon ignores the yellow dog that bays
it.
Gran'ther's face was convulsed with
delight. Tears Of JOY meandered un-
needed down his wrinkled cheeks, as
glazing at the discounted Harold, he
raised his staff and brought it down
with force that split it in twain.
she's a Peters, every inch Of her."
he roared. "Leastways, she soon will
be-"
Rose was somewhat shocked when
she learned that Jared's woes were all
assumed; and that he had prudently
escaped from the collapsing boom with
the neat little nest egg of one hundred
thousand dollars; but she became
reconciled to the situation in time.

Secretary of the Interior Lavishes Praise
! Upon the Pension Commissioner
Reclamation of Arid Lands.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The report OF
E. A. Hitchcock, secretary of the in
terror, indorses the work and recon-
mendation of Commissioner of Pen
sions Evans and says that the veter-
ans have no more sincere friend than
their comrade, their commissioner,
"who has served as an enlisted man
in the armies of the United States
and he but maintains and defends the
honor OF their patriotic service when,
refusing to ignore both the letter and
spirit of the law, he declines to per.
init the impostor, whether claimant
or agent, to share in the bounty pro-
vided for the veterans and those de-
pendent upon him."
On the question of reclamation OF
the arid region, the secretary says:
'The Investigations which have been
carried on demonstrate that there is
no one question now before the peo-
pie of the United States of greater
Importance than the conservation OF
the water supply and the reclamation
of the arid lands of the west and
their settlement by men who will
actually build homes and create com.
munities."

In delivering the opinion of the APP

Marriage is civil contract and
may be made by any persons of diff
ferent sexes competent to make such
contracts. While commonly entered
into with some ceremony, either civil
or religious, it may be consummated
without any ceremony. If man and
woman, in good faith, agree to be-
come husband and wife, and this
agreement is followed by consist
ent and notorious cohabitation, the
relation of husband and wife is law
fully established"

KANSAS LAW INVALID.
United States Supreme Court Knocks Out
the Statute Regulating Charges at
the Stock Yards.

Washington, Nov. 26.-In the Unit
ed States supreme court Monday an
opinion was handed down in the case
of Getting and Higinson against A. A.
GODDARD, attorney general of Kansas
and the Kansas City Stock Yards
company, involving the validity of the
state law of Kansas empowering the
state authorities to fix rates of
charges on stock in all stock yards in
that state. The decree of the circuit
court which upheld the law was re-
versed. The opinion was written by
Justice Brewer.
The Kansas law was passed in Feb
ruary, 1897. 1t was during the Leedy
administration in Kansas and at the
time the populists controlled both
houses of the legislature. 1t was their
theory that the stock yards company,
although existing without franchise
granted by the state or any other au-
thority, was in reality public serv-
ice corporation, subject to regula-
ton of rates, the same as a railroad
or other company requiring a fran
chiSe.
