1T beats me, Nell" he said, pres

wasn't one of the boys in the old
crowd that wasn't head AID Shout
ders above him for decency and fair
dealing. You might have had your
choice, Nell, and you took him. Why
did you pick out the worst one in the
crowd?"
The girl looked in the face, lifting
large, limpid blue eyes to his with a
sincerity that vanuuished all doubt.
81 loved him. He was poor and
plain-looking and Stunned by the
rest of you, and all that made me
love him the better. When he is
sober there isn't better-hearted or
kinder husband in the world. I'm
glad to see you, but go now, Dave.
Some day we're going back, but not
now" Tears filled her eyes as she
spoke.
NELL" cried the man, losing his
head in moment of sudden resolve,
''come away from here with me-now
-to-night-and go back to your old
home. Give me the right to make
you happy-come back to civilization
and a home such as you deserve. l
have loved you since we went to
school together. You are wretchedly
unhappy can see that"
A sudden clicking noise from the
cabin smote the air. The man talking
started, but Nell glanced back and
said:
That is the clock. 1t often does
that. Yes, I'm often wretchedly UNI
happy, every woman who loves is, but
l haven't fallen so low yet as to need
your help, your sympathy, Dave Har-
kins. If you have anything more of
that sort to say, reckon I'll call the
dogs. They will protect me in the alb
sence of my husband"
Forgive me, Nell, and forget what 1
said. If your love doesn't reform Hi
Dimmock no power on earth can. God
bless you, Nell, and good-by"
He rode away, picturesque figure
in the sunset, but the eyes of the wom-
an leaning in the doorway did not
look after him. Before he was alb
sorbed in the lessening distance she
had turned into the cabin and drawn
the calico curtains apart that draped
a space in the wall into which bed
was built. A man lay there roughly
dressed, holding in both hands cooked
rifle. He had trampish ensemble and
his face was flushed with liquor.

Boom in Walnut StumDs.

Old walnut stumps are on a boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that
have remained unnoticed for years
and were regarded as worthless are
now eagerly sought after at prices
that seem almost fabulous. One In
diana concern has had men travelling
over the country buying every old
walnut stump that could be found.
At first the prices paid were small, but
as the eyes of the stick timber folks
began to open the prices went higher
and higher, until now they are out
of sight, and the funny part about it
is that the uglier, knottier and more
unsightly the stump the more money
It will bring. The stump of walnut
tree that was cut down several years

SMALL PLANT HOUSE,
a System of Heating Which Is Quite
Effective and Costs But a Quar-
ter a Day.

1 have had nearly ten years ex-
perience in heating a plant house
measuring about Sx17 feet, and can
confidently recommend my method.
l use hot water circulation in iron
pipes, and the heating is done by
kerosene lamps under two tin boil
ers. The boilers are bell-shaped and
set up with mouth down. The hot
air, after having done its work of
heating the water, is controlled by
a tin drum at the top of which is a
smoke pipe, by which all fumes are

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.
National Government Should Foster
Improvement of Land as Well
as Water Highways.

There is no question that bad
roads cost nearly or quite as much
as their improvement would amount
to. Probably there is no locality
which has been to the trouble and ex-
pense of improving it's own roads,
that would not testify that the i'm
provement is worth all that it cost.
The market value of Ohio farms has
increased but three-tenths of one per
cent. in the last decade. Doubtless
large part of this retrograde move
ment is due to inaccessibility during
large part of the year. 1t has been
estimated that Kansas farmers lost
more than $50,O00,OOO in one year
through bad roads. The plan of
building specimen sections as object
lessons to communities in which they
lie, is perhaps the most persuasive
and convincing argument that can be
arranged to educate taxpayers to the
knowledge that road improvement
means money in their pockets even
tually, and will be a good investment.
And when taxpayers get generally
aroused to the equal Importance of
good roads to good water or rail
transportation, then we shall have
our congressional committees har-
arguing and scheming for road i'm
provement appropriations with the
same zeal now displayed in asking
for river and harbor appropriations.
There really is no more reason for
obliging the local communities to
bear all the expense of road build
ing in their vicinities than for re-
quiring the vesselmen to make all
their river and harbor improvements.
The former is just as much public
service and public improvement of
widespread influence as the latter.
1t therefore becomes the govern
ment's business to foster the inn
provement of its land as well as its
water highways.-Ohio Farmer.

Corn fritters are favorite garnish
to fried chicken and many other dish
es of fowl and game. Cut off the cob
a cupful of fresh, sweet corn, or if
this is not convenient use a cupful of
canned corn, drained and chopped a
little. Add half cupful of flour mixed
with half a cupful of milk. Add sea-
soning of pepper and salt and two
well-beaten eggs. This will make 10
fritters. Drop gill of the batter
at time into very hot iron spider
in which there is butter enough to
cook them. When they are brown on
one side turn them to the other to
become cooked through. 1t will take
four minutes cooking on each side
to make these fine golden brown

THE TEST OF TIME.

Mrs. Clara j. Sherbourne, Profess
sional Nurse of 257 Cumberland St.,
Portland, Maine, says:-
81 heartily wish those who suffer
from some disturbed action of the
kidneys would try Doan's Kidney
Pills. They would, like me, be moro
than surprised. My back annoyed
me for years. Physicians who dag
nosed my case said it arose from
my kidneys. When the grip was cpl
demic, L was worn out with constant
nursing, and when 1 contracted it
myself it left me in a very serious
condition. I could not straighten
nor do the most trivial act without
being in torture. The kidneys were
too active or the secretions were too
copious, and knew what was wrong,
but how to right it was a mystery.
1t seems odd for a professional
nurse, who has had a great deal of
experience with medicines, to read
advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the newspapers, and it may
appear more singular for me to go
to FL. H. Hay & Sons drug store for
box. But I did, however; and had
anybody told me before that it was
possible to get relief as quickly as
I did 1 would have been 10th to be-
lieve it. You can send anyone who
wishes more minute particulars
about my case to me, and 1 will be
only too glad to tell them PERSONAL
ly. AS long as live 1 will be a firm
advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills"
Cure Confirmed 5 Years Later.
Lapse of time has strengthened
my good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills, first expressed in the spring
of 1896. I said then that had any,
body told me that it was possible
to get relief as quickly as L did I
would have been 10th to believe it.
Years have passed and my continued
freedom from kidney complaint has
strengthened my opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills and given me a much
higher appreciation of their merits"

She did not worry over his absence
until the dogs attracted her attention
to the fact that they had all been left
behind. The sound of rifle shot was
too frequent on the hills to disturb
her, but when midnight had come and
Hi was still absent she feared the cab
in more than the open, and taking the
dogs she started out in the sepulchral
moonlight, leaving it to the instinct of
her four-footed friends to lead the
way. Had Hi followed the man who
had left her door? Had he killed him
for what he said to her? She did not
think Hi capable of taking such re-
venge in his present state. But she
must find him. Down the long trail to
the village she hurried until stopped
by horrible commorion among the
dogs; they were grouped about a
patch of something that lay dark in
the moonbeams. She knew then that
Hi had found his enemy and already
her mind was planning to save him
from the consequences of his act.
Where was he? She reached the pros
trate form and stopped to see if any
life were left. Soothing and quieting
the dogs that they should not attract
attention to the deed, she looked into
the face of her husband. Hi Dimmock
had killed his worst enemy-Chicago

MRS. ROGERS TESTIFIED
DAUGHTER OF THE WOMAN MOLI-

Witness Examined as to Her Rela-

NEW YORK. Oct. N.-Mrs. Florence
Rogers, daughter of Mrs. Katherine j.
Adams. of whose murder Roland B. Mol
ineux is accused, was the most conspicu-
Gus witness on the stand at the trial to-
day. Her appearance attracted an unusual
crowd of women, who followed the exam
ination of the witness with the keenest at
tention. Mrs. Rogers was subjected to a
close examination regarding her relations
with Harry Cornish, but little that was
significant was elected in this line OF In
quiry. Mrs. Rogers related the circum-
stances of her mothers death Immediately
after taking the poison and identified the
glass in which the fatal draught was ad-
ministered, and from which. she said, she
afterwards saw Cornish drink.
The greater part of the session was de-
voted to the examination of handwriting
experts, who testified to the identity of
specimens of the admitted handwriting of
Molineux with the address on the poison
package and that of the disputed letters.
1t was remarked in court after the adjourn
ment that the case for the prosecution
would close tomorrow, in which event the
case may go to the jury by the end Of the
week.

MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR URGES
SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
Says the Democratic Party Ia q Gre
atOr of Grievances, Never the
Redresser of Them.

BOSTON, Oct. 27.-The Chicktawbut Club,
a Republican dining organization Of Dor
chester ratified the state ticket tonight
by listening to an address by Senator
George F. Hoar. Senator Hoar in opening
spoke words of praise for President Roose-
welt and Governor W. Murray Crane, saying
that in the national election we are to send
men to uphold the Presidents hands, or
men whose sole object in the next two
years will be to hunt him from power.
He said the Democratic party during all
its history has been a creator of grievances,
never the redresser of them.
Speaking of trusts, Senator Hoar said:
1.-THE evils of trusts are: First, destruction
of competitions; second, the management Of
industries by absent capital; third, destruc-
ton of local public spirit; fourth. fraudu-
lent capitalization; fifth, secrecy; sixth,
management for the private benefit of the
officers; seventh, the power to corrupt cleo
tions and in some cases to corrupt the
courts; eighth, indifference to public senti-
ment. If the first, fourth and fifth can be
cured, the cure of the others, in my opinion.
will follow. Now, is 1t not the duty Of
wise craftsmanship to go slowly and care
fully in this matter. we can cure or pre-
vent the evil without sacr1hcing or Destroy
ing what Is good?"
Senator Hoar then reviewed the Sherman
antitrust law, and claimed that he him
self had inserted in the bill the section
which declares any combination, or trust. "
which restricts trade to be illegal and
which also provides for its punishment.
Every suit that has been brought" he
continued. (which has been successful has
been under this section" He said he would
curb trusts, not destroy them.
Senator Hoar next discussed the tariff,
saying in regard to the tariff revision that
it should be made on the principles Of the
protective system. He favors reciprocity,
believing it best can be secured by concur
rent legislation rather than by treaties.
The tariff will have to be revised, he said,
again and again, and again, hereafter.
In conclusion, Senator Hoar discussed
strikes, saying that, to him, IL capital COM
bined he could not see why labor may not
also combine. "a republic" he said, "can-
not live If any body of men undertakes to
impose their own will upon the lawful free
dom of others. believe the sympathy of
all true Americans Is on the side of labor
and it's attempt to better its condition.
Capital and wealth will in the end take
care of themselves"

that Captain Keller has not signed with
the rival organization, and Barney Drey-
fus and Harry Pulliam, of the Pittsburg
