senator McLnurIn Demonstrates Hh
Views of National Pro-
EreaaIOn.

United States Senator McLaurin. on
South Carolina, does not finch under
fire. And few public men have been
exposed to fiercer attacks than he has
experienced since he announced his
intention to forsake the Organized
democracy of the south, with its in
tense Bourbonism, and come out for
progress and modern methods. He
has been abused as a traitor to his
party and his section, maligned. ridi-
cules and misreprescnted i'm every way.
Wednesday Senator McLaurin made
the first formal presentation of his
views on the national issues now oc-
cupying the attention of the people.
He spoke at Grcenville. S. c., to
large assemLlage, including many
business men, lawyers and others. re
seems to have been an occasion of
more than ordinary interest, and the
speech was evidently regarded as one
certain to have most important re.
suits. Senator McLaurin spoke with
great frankness, and there was no
installing his meaning. In defining
his attitude toward the democratic
party he said:

A gentleman recently took ride

Speaking of prominent man in the

"Wen. sir" the farmer replied. "he

The old farmer, with pleased smile,
observed his companions puzzled look
for a moment and then explained:
You see, he hasn't got much money
and he hasn't got much land, but still
he is rich because he never went to
bed owing man a cent in all his life.
He lives as well as he wants to live.

CHAPTER XIV

Locked within his own room, Raw
mond Holbin drew from his pocket the
packet of papers taken by him from
the murdered man with the official
order for which he had committed the
crime. The order read: Pass the
bearer, Thomas Riley, paroled prison
er, through the lines" 1T will not
do Louise much good, anyway" he
said. even were l disposed to give it
to her" The name Martha Somers"
upon the sealed packet attracted his
attention. and he recognized in Della
ware address beneath the horne of
Richard Somers. He remembered then
the dead soldiers description of the
battle in which he was wounded. and
guessed that the packet contained the
papers given TO him to deliver. Holbin
would hardly have troubled himself to
wade through a score of farewell pages
from "A soldier to his mother. and would
have promptly destroyed the whole
collection. but that the remaining en-
velope, addressed TO Richard Somers.
lay before him, and upon it his eye
caught the Brookin crest.
This is very different" he said to
hImSelI with interest. Let us see
what Frances has to say to the fellow"
He broke the seal and read:
II send you back. well and free. the
man who saved your life I found him
grievously wOunded-a prisoner. 1t is all
that j have been able TO do in return for
your Kindness TO me. "A stranger. and Tor

FRANCES"
Holbin sat gazing blankly upon the
lines. His head was in whirl
Her husband! her husband!
Pshaw!" he exclaimed with an uneasy
laugh, springing TO his feet and begin
ming to walk the floor, this comes of
the damnable work out yonder to-day;
my nerves are simply unstrung." He
took bottle from his dresser. poured
out stiff drink, and tossed il off with
one gulp. Then he went back to his

that particular place. A watch taken
from his body contained the names of
Capt. Richard Somers and the reDi-
ment TO which he was attached. and
also the likeness of an elderly wom-
an. 1T was surmised that the victim
of the pistol shot was "A desertcr and
rcbber: that he had been captured
and killed while attempting violence
or an escape. Tee officer into whose
possession the watch drifted was in
charge of burial party next day un-
der a Nag OF truce, and, learning that
capt. Somers was among the troops
opposite, sent the watch to him with
a courteous explanation. The graft
fication of Capt. Somers was only
equaled by his bewilderment. MANY
weeks before he had intrusted the
jewel to his faithful artilleryman. and
this soldier, he had been assured. was
left dead upon the bloody battlefield.
His conclusion was that some one had
robbed the body at that time and
had been overtaken by fate while en-
gagged in some other nefarious enter
prise. But when Capt. Somers cas-
ually opened the locket and found
therein long, slender curl of red
dish-golden hair and on the narrow
ribbon with which it was tied the
name Frances" he was involved in
a hopeless mystery. He was within
sound of the Richmond church bells
that morning. and between the inter
walls of fighting and moving TO new
positions he had already in magma
ton entered that city. The name
thus sent was the only tidings of
Frances he had ever received, and it
made him sadly happy man.

The Land of Chestnuts.

The home of ehestnuts is in
France, where an enthusiastic adj
mirer declares that they ave "as
common as beans in Boston Or
such an extensive scale are they cul
tivated that one factory in Lyons
handles over 25.O0O,OOO pounds every
year. The "marr ons" are of course
the great luxury, but among the
poorer classes the smaller chestnuts.
or "schataignes," are eaten. The
United States consul at Lyons, John
{. Covert, visited large chestnut
factory which employs $50 women
and girls. The chestnuts arc peeled
and boiled and placed for three dave
in vanilla sirup; then they are
drained, coated thinly with vanilla
and prepared for shipment. NJ
Covert is anxious that America
should go extensively into chestnut
growing, and believes that as sugar
is so per cent. cheaper here than In
France. the candied product would
soon undersell the French article.
However, as maroon trees do not
yield profitably till they are ten
years old, Mr.. Covert admits that
there is no immediate prospect OF a
reduction in the price of the candied
puts.-Youth's Companion.

Queer south African battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells OF
n queer battle he once witnessed. He
was musing, with his eyes on the
ground, when he noticed caterpillar
crawling along, followed by hundreds
of small ants. Being quicker in their
movements, the ants would catch up
with the caterpillar, and one would
mount his back and bite him. Faus-
ing, the caterpillar would turn his
he'd, and bite the ant and thus kill
the tormentor. After slaughteting .
dozen or more OF his prosecutors. tae
caterpillar showed signs of fatigue.
and the ants then made a combined
attack. Betaking himself to a stalk
Of grass, the caterpillar climbed up,
tail first, followed by the ants. As
each one approached, he seized II in
his jaws, and threw Il Oft the stalk.
The ants, seeing that the caterpillar
had too strong a position for them
to overcome, resorted TO strategy.
They began saving through the grass
stalk. In a few minutes the stalk fell
and the entire force Of ants pounced
upon the caterpillar, killing il at once.

NOW WORLD LEADER.
AmericR's Supremacy I'm Commerce
and Finance an As
sured Fact.

From the monthly summary Of
commerce and finance which is issued
by the bureau OF statistics of the
United States treasury department
the interesting and important fact
appears that in the current fiscal
year this country leads all other ma
tons in the matter of exports.
During the nine months ended on
March 81 the average monthly ex-
ports amounted TO S124,407,s53, while
those of Great Britain, which are sec
ond in amount, were S117,s1G.246.
Thus a difference of S6,6Sf .6O7 a
month in favor Of the United States
Is shown. Germany is third by long
interval with monthly exports aver
aging SS7,55i,OOO. and France, Russia.
British india. Austria-Hungary, Bel
GUM and Italy trail along behind
with amounts ranging from S56167,-
600 to the credit Of France, down to
Italy's showing Of only S2O.51s, 900.
During the nine months the total
domestic exports Of the United States
were s1.t2O,4sO. 673. against a total Of
I,O60,346,2t4. from the United King
dom, showing n balance of about $780,
100000 i'm favor Of this country.
The United States has, moreover.
an excess Of s3o4, 900 900 Of exports
over imports TO its credit for the nine
months. which excess is greater by
