GRAIN LIFT.

drive, leaving eight feet. The top Of
the wagon is four feet, leaving four
feet from the lower end Of the lift to
the roller on the edge Of the loft floor.
The length Of the lift from this point
up is eight feet, made in the style of a
ladder. When the sack is set on at II
(see first cut, by taking hold Of the
lift at F the sack can be swung out
very easily. The farther out the sack
goes the more purchase you have at F.,
and when the sack is on a line from e
to B Second cut it will naturally run
In itself because the lift will be in a
shape to make it down grade from +
to G, and after the sack passes the
roller, A, the trucks at l will run on
the floor, and you have a complete
truck. The stop, c, does not want to
come below the line from F to G.

guage of suffering to see that h~
needed food and that he wished to be
directed to his OWL people. Not that
she was particularly struck by his con.
dition, either; it vas not in her nature
But as she looked and listened, Maila's
girl companion, who had been in hid.
ing, came out of the rocks, and with.
out a word they led the way for the
strange, hairy tattered being who fol.
lowed them with the unquestionable
satisfaction that belongs to the dog.
But love, eve in the wilds of the
Mexican mountains, finds it's way,
and it was not long before the miner
knew that he was the object Of affec.
tions of both m For himself he
would rather have seen a glimpse of
the rude civilization of the mining
camp than to look on all the beauties
of the Pacific slope; but he held his
peace and walked and walked, allowing
the prettier of the two to believe that
she was the favored one.
When on the second day the camp
of the Indians was reached Gordon
found himself a prisoner. The home
lier Of the two girls had found the
ear of some tribal power, and only
the interposition Of pretty Malta,
daughter of the chief, kept him from
the stake until the old chief should
return from a hunt. And in that first
night Gordon broke his bonds and es-
capped.
In the five years that followed he
gave small thoughts to the girl who in
directly saved his life. He had given
her small credit for the service. He
had been mining, travelling, and living
the life of the adventurer when the
letter from Malta at Tacoma started
him southwark. In this letter the
girl told how she had loved him. how
she had acquired an education in order
that she might be worthy of him, how
she had risen from the tepee Of her
father to be a teacher in the Indian
schools, how her father was dead
leaving her a fortune, and how that
fortune was to be hers and his if only
he would come to her and share it and
her love.
And Gordon has gone, with the pho
tograph of the girl next to his heart.

France continues to pay great at
tention to submarine vessels. The
Gustave Zede has arrived at Marseilles
from Cette and entered the old port OF
Marseilles completely submerged.
The submarine boat Gnome has been
launched at Rochefort, and Rear Ad-

that the submarines Narval, Silure,
Triton and Sireze accomplished a re

o ARMS.
Deformed Kentucky Girl Perform.
Remarkably Well ON the Banjo
with Her Foes.

The most pitiable human and the
greatest prodigy, seen in central Ken
lucky for the past decade or so is Miss
Mary Ada Hendricks, a Kentucky girl
aged IL, born in Ansie, Pulaski
county. This wonderful little girl was
born without arms. Her shoulders are
rounded of and show no visible evil
dence of arms. Besides this misfor-
tune she has no knee on her left leg,
which is considerably shorter than the
right one. She is a bright looking,
pleasant featured child, whose ewes
beam with natural intelligence and in
dictate a lovely disposition. AS if ma

natural deformity it endowed her with

night, and he and his wife, after duly
admiring it, retired.
Then, says the Baltimore Sun, came
trouble which nearly resulted in a
divorce suit. Thoughts of the coming
fishing trip SO filled the doctors mind
that he could not sleep, SO he arose,
assembled his split-bamboo rod, and
put the reel and line on. Not having
space in the room to test it, he care
fully opened a window and began to
make casts into the wide area of the
street, but he made n too many.
In attempting to~wind the reel there
was a stop.
Thinking it a kink in the new line
he wound harder. Then there was 3
suppressed scream from the sidewalk.
The reel worked, however, and to the
prospective fisherman's surprise, a
woman's picture hat came to the end
Of the pole. He knew what had hap
pened. The scream from below had
awakened his wife, and she, seeing tho
hat, demanded an explanation. The
doctor had a hurry job on the street.
Securing his rod between the legs of
a chair, he unlocked the hat and
rushed to. the front door. The own
er's husband was fighting mad, as was
the lady. The doctor made apologies
and humbly got on his knees and found
the hat pins.
After an explanation, which the ag-
grieved lady and her husband accept
ed, the doctor went to his room, only
to find his wife in a state of temper.
accusing him of fishing for other kind
Of fish than he had said he was go
ing after. More explanations we're in
order, and there will be no damage suit
for the. hat or divorce suit by the wife.
A tub of water is now in the Doctors
back yard, and the gate is locked. IF
he wants to practice casting between
now and the time set for the real fish
ing trip, he can safely cast out of a
back window.

LOVE WINS IT'S ! WAY.
Story That Should Satisfy Admirers
of the Melodramatic.
Indian Maiden Educated Herself to
Marry y Rough White Miner
Whose Life She Had Saved
in the Mountains -

The other day at Tacoma, WASH, q
letter in a strange hand, dated at Cor
pus Christi, Tex, was put into the
hands of NJ. J. Gordon, a miner, well.
known in Colorado and on the west
coast of old Mexico. AS a result Cor
don, who was on his way to Alaska
gold fields, turned suddenly in his
tracks and has gone to the Texas city
with all the speed Of train and steamer.
For the letter, signed only "Maila,"
was a love letter and the young wom-
an who wrote it was an Indian who five
years before had saved Gordon's life
IN a manne to satisfy the most exact
ing OF melodramatists, afterwards
working out the romantic marriage
that has come to pass with all the un-
Wavering stoicism that belongs to her
race.
Five years ago, Gordon, with a min
er's independence, went into the noun
tains of western Mexico, alone, search
ing for that gold that has been the
lodestar of adventures in all times.
The trip was a failure, and in endeav-

lost. His food grew scant and finally,
in a waste of barren sands that seemed
to stretch away without limit, he grew
desperate with hunger.
Then n day, weakened, dragging
his feet after him in painful fashion
and carrying the empty and useless
rifle in his hands, Gordon came face

who was to be the first ministering an

life's devotion and affection.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The Convention completed the report
of the committee on education and sent
it TO the committee on final revision.
A section of this report provided that
the State should continue to pay to the
educational institutions holding its
bonds the full rate of interest premiums
upon their face when issued. These
interest charges are and 6 per cent. in
stead of 81 per cent. the amount which
all holders Of the bends receive under the
debt settlement Alter spirited fight
Mr.. Withers secured the adoption of an
amendment leaving it with the Legis-
lature whether these bonds may be paid
before their maturity.
Mr.. Stuart, of Russell, chairman OF the
committee on agriculture, submitted its
report. Radical changes in the Depart
ment of Agriculture are proposed The
report recommends that the board shall
be composed OF member from each Con-
gressional district and the president and
director Of the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute at Blacksburg shall be ex-Oflicio
members. The members of the board are
to hold Officefor term offour years and
be appointed by the Governor, are to
have the selection ofthe Commissioner OF
Agriculture and all OF his subordinates
The Commissioner is now appointed by
the Governor and appoints all of his as
sistants with the approval OF the board.
The larger corporations of the State are
expected to make great fight against
the plan for supervising their operations,
which will shortly come up in the Con
stitutional Convention.
Judge It. W. Harrison, delegate to the
convention from Winchester and Fred
erick county, isquoted in an interview as
saying that the new Constitution would
in his opinion, be submitted to the people
for ratification.
Mr.. Stuart, OF Russell, submitted a
new suffrage plan, its most significant
feature is that it permits the Legislature
to adopt different suffrage law for the
counties and cities east OF the Blue Ridge
mountains from that for all other parts
of the State.

Virginia Republicans After The Plums.

There was further gathering of the
Virginia Republican clans yesterday in
Washington in the hope and belief that
those u. S. Marshalship plums certainly
must be ripe and ready to fall. Col. 5.
Brown Allen. marshal of the Western
district, whose term of office expires in a
few days, packed his grip last evening to
one of the local hostelries. Mr.. Sam Y.
Gilman, who wants the marshalship OF
the Eastern district whereof Slr. Morgan
Treat is the incumbent, likewise joined
the company.
The virginians think the President can
hardly keep them in this terrible suspense
much longer. Some think that Morgan
Treat. who has an excellent record,
really must be reappointed. They are
unable to understand how President
Roosevelt can see it any other way.
The rumor is going the rounds that
Postmaster W. l.. MoOrman at Lynch
burg must at last give way to Repub-
lican. That was the word the Virginians
were repeating last evening, coupled
with a statement that ex-Postmaster
Mclaughlin, of Republican faith, had
withdrawn from the race, allowing Capt.
Pat McCaul, sometime Republican can.
didate for governor OF Virginia and
officer in the Spanish war, to win in a
walk. - Washington Post.
