their knees the two young men took
hold of hands and proceeded to slow
ly grope their way through the inky
darkness. Wet leaves slapped them
in the face and sharp branches cut
them as they Numbered through the
underbrush, but anything was a re-
lief after the swamp. Presently the
big bulk of a building doomed up be-
fore them.

Their approach to the house was
greeted by terrific growls, and the
sound of a running dog. Fortunately
a tall board fence was convenient and
they clambered TO it's top. Then they
proceeded to call for help. After yell
ing for several minutes an upper win
dow was raised and man leaned out.

bothered enough by people from the

Elliott, 1--WE only want to borrow lam
tern. We're lost and can't find our
way. Wen pay you for it,"
After a talk of several minutes, dur
ing which the dog made several vicious
charges on the fence, the farmer final
ly came down and plodded across to
the fence with farm lantern in his
hand. Even then he was doubtful. He
called the dog and kept it close at his
heels until he had carefully inspected
the young men on the fence. Then he
laughed.

"Lie down, Rover. Amt you ashamed
of yourself? What you been dom?
Tryin' to ketch frogs? If l give you
the lantern will you run straight
home?"
Wet and wobegone Edwards and Ell
lott were beyond the reach of an in
suit. They borrowed the lantern at
the farmers own terms and started
again on their trip to the hotel. 1t
was five o'clock in the morning when
they got there. Old "Tom" had got
worried at their absence and had
rowed across the lake to the log cabin
shortly after midnight. There he was
told that they had started to row
home. Close by he had found the
empty skiff where they had beached it.
Naturally he had come to the conclu,
sion that they had been tipped over
in midlake. He had rowed back and
aroused the hotel. Steam was up in
the little steam launch when they got
back to the hotel, and several parties
were already out searching.
Fortunately there was an early train
for the city that morning. Edwards
and Elliott took 1t. They did not even
wait for breakfast. Fortunately they
had enough money left to pay their
bill and bus fare. Return tickets
they were wise enough to bring with
them.-Chicago Tribune.

they got beyond the end of the point
the big waves sweeping across the
lake struck them and set the "Water
Lily" to bobbing like a cork. Shortly
it got into the trough and commenced
to ship water. Presently Edward and
Elliott found their new white tennis
shoes entirely submerged, while the
probability constantly increased that
If something were not done the rest of
them would soon find a watery grave.
They looked back at the log cabin re-
sort. 1t was wrapped in darkness. If
they ran ashore they would not be
jeered at by their late companions.
Then they turned the half water
logged boat and let it drive before the
wind. Fortunately the shore where
they struck was low and sandy, and
they landed withcut difficulty.

Bank Notes Printed From the OrIgi-
nal Plates OF n New Jersey
Bank. in Circulation.

Washington, July 22.-Chicf Willlie,
of the secret service. has received a
number of bank notes printed from
the original plates used by the State
bank of New brunswick, y. j., over
fifty years ago The bank went out
of existence some time in the sos, and
it was supposed that the steel plates
from which its notes were printed
were destroyed. 1t seems, however,
that those plates have fallen into the
hHrds of nartics who have print
ed from them large quantities Of
notes which have been put into circu-
lation from New York TO San Fran
cisco. \ very large percentage of the
notes are IS, and some IS and los are
being sent in. lnasmuch as the notes
are not counterfeits of any United
States or obligation, the makers
and passers can not be prosecuted
under the United States laws, but it
is said they can be punished for fraud
under the state laws II appears that
the notes readily pass along the Ca
madam frontier, as the takers think
they are the notes of the Canadian
province of New Brunswick, the
words New Jersey being printed in
small letters. The notes are printed
on bond paper, end are quite as good
in every way as the original. 1t is
said that possibly S2,000,000 of these
notes are in circulation.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 22.-The strike
situation is practically the same as
on Saturday, Wellsville and McKees-
port being the points around which
the interest centers, and any new de-
velopment will, no doubt, emanate
from these places.
When seen, President Shaffer was,
in good humor. He had recovered
from his slight indisposition of Sat-
urday, and was at his desk at an
early hour. He would not discuss his
plans for this week. Much depended
on circumstances. The general plans
of the Amelgalnated association were,
of course, laid out. and would be fol-
lowed to the letter.
Some Startling Surprises.
There are some startling surprises
in store for the manufacturers when
the proper time comes for springing
them, he says. Our people" said he,
have been saving, and have fortified
themselves against such an emergen-
cy for three years. At present we are
simply taking our much-needed vaca-
tions. When the cooler weather ar
rives we will DE in shape to settle
down for the winter. undisturbed by
the conditions confronting us, for we
have everything in readiness for just
such "A winter as will result if this
strike is not settled"

A MINNESOTA IDEA.

Several Minnesota towns have nro-
vided "rest rooms" for ladies who
come in from the country to do their
shopping. A matron is in charge of
the rooms, which are in the central
protion of town, and sell tea and coffee
for cents cup. Rochester, Farm
ington, Winona, Faribault and few
others have already established these
rooms and several more towns intend
to follow their example.
The idea is a good one and has met
with favorable comment by eastern
papers, but when you are tired the
thing to drink is Golden Grain Belt
beer. 1t is so nourishing and refresh
ing that it makes you feel rested at
once. When tired the system is in nc
condition to handle heavy food, and
this beer is just what it needs. 1t has
the strength of meat and bread, for it
is brewed from purest barley, malt
and hops Order of your dealer or be

MINNESOTA FISH.
A Exhibit Will Be Made AT the State
Fair.

st. Paul, May 23.-Secretary Ran
dali of the state fair association, and
Sam Fullerton, executive agent of the
state game and fish commission, are
planning for an exhibit of Minnesota
fish as a feature of the state fair next
fall. Fullerton is enthusiastic over the
idea, and offers to furnish the exhibit
tion if the directors will furnish a
place to put it. The tanks could be
built and permanently maintained in
one of the buildings, and the exhibit
placed each year during the life of the
fair.
Fullerton has been in correspondence
with Peter Dichia, manager of the
Sandusky Fish company at Lake of the
Woods, and Ditchia agrees to furnish
some mammoth sturgeon. The big
gest yet caught in the lake weighed
$50 pounds. Some great maskalonge
will be secured, and some of the big
channel catfish of the Mississippi. The
state hatchery will furnish plentiful
supply of all the game fish, and the
other varieties can be easily secured.

Rev. Cole delivered an impressive
funeral grafton at the house and the
remains were then conveyed to the G.
M. & st. P. depot and were buried at
Garden City, Mimi, by the side of her
husband. Jay Jones accompanied the
remains to the old home where they
were consigned to the bosom of mother
earth. The family has the sincere con-
dolence of all in their great bereave
ment and all the kind neighbors have
We'd with each other in extending aid
and sympathy. Many beautiful
flowers were brought in, the casket
being covered with wealth of the
choicest floral tributes that could be
obtained. The family have lost their
mentor and guide for of all friends

taken, but the tokens of friendship
and esteem have been appreciated and
all was done that could be to assuage
the poignant grief of the stricken ones.

When Tea Was Dear.

The use of tea is said to have been
introduced into China itself from
Korea about the fourth century of the
Christian era and to have extended to
Japan about the ninth century. Tea
first became known to Europeans about
1910 The first reference to it by a
native of Britain is in a letter dated
June 81, 1915, written by Mr.. WIKI
ham. which is in the records of the
East India company. From this time
it became gradually known to the
wealthy Inhabitants of London, fetch
ing sometimes as much as et0 the
pound and never less than Co. Samuel
Pepys records his first 'cup of tea"
Sept. %, 1860. Tea at this period was
imported from Holland and generally
sold for go shillipgs per pound till the
East India company took up the trade.
