toward the doorknob. Nay, more they would probably grin.
 But MT. Foraker is not one to give in easily. He frowned again, bit his lip and dashed his fist furiously against the door. Then he listened and thought he heard a far-away chuckle on the other side. His scowl grew deeper, and he rattled the door knob impotently, conscious that a group of newspaper men, sworn to secrecy about the correct fraternity knock, were regarding him gravely and that the secretary's men were chuckling on the other side. k
 Then Mir. Foraker stepped away and thought for a moment His anger overcame him and he decided to return and give a few hammers on the doors just. to express his opinion of it. Accordingly he raised his fist and gave-it would never do to tell how many knocks he gave or in what way he gave them, but he knocked in an unusual way. This was simply because he was angry.
 As the last knock rang out an an- swering knuckle sounded on the in side. MT. Foraker, deeming this mere sarcasm, hit the door again. To his intense astonishment it flew open and lowing attendant stood before him, inviting him to the sec retary's presence. He had accidental ly hit on the right knock, As for the attendant, who had supposed it to be war department clerk, he was dumfounded.
 ''Walk right in, senator," he gasped And as the senator vanished in the secretary's room he caught the words:
 'How did he ever learn that knock?"
 MT. Foraker came out of the sec retary's room beaming all over, after most satisfactory interview. He has done something that few other visitors have accomplished. Only one thing bothers him now-he wishes he could remember that knock.

 An Illinois doctor advertised cer- tain cure for deafness, which he promised to send by mail on receipt of $1s.5o. After remitting the money, the victim received 2,000 pills, with instructions to take one each day, and on no account to miss a day.

Sorghum cane produces some

reason for limiting its acreage.
