CHAPTER III.

Slowly and heavily the Major walk
ed out upon the veranda. He stood
upon the steps leading down into the
yard, and he saw Louise afar off stand
ing upon the rivers yellow edge. She
had thrown her hat upon the sand,
and she stood with. her hands clasped
upon her brown head. A wind blew
down the stream, and the water lap
ped at her feet. The Major looked
back into the library, at the door
wherein Pennington had stood, and
sighed with relief upon finding that he
was gone. He looked back toward
the river. The girl was walking along
the shore, meditatively swinging her
hat. He stepped to the corner of the
house, and, gazing down the road, saw
Pennington on a horse, now sitting
straight, 10Y bending low owe the
horn of the saddle. The. old gentle
man had a habit o fmaking a sideward
motion with his hand as if he would
put all unpleasant thoughts behind
him, and now he made the motion not
only once, but many times. And it
seemed that his thoughts. would not
obey him, for he became more i'm
~perative in his pantominic demand.
At one corner of the large yard,
where the smooth ground broke off
into a steep slope to the river, there
stood a small office built of brick. 1t
was the Majors executive chamber,
and thither he directed his steps. In
side this place his laugh was never
heard; at the door his smile always
faded. In this commercial sanctuary

Eating and Civilization.

What a man eats and the manner in
which he cooks his food and eats it de-
termine very largely the grade of civ
ilization which he enjoys. 1t is a far
stretch from the Eskimo sitting on an
ice foe eating his meal of raw walrus
blubber or the Sioux Indian pulling out
chunks of boiled dog from the camp
kettle in front of his teepee to a five
dollar dinner at a modern restaurant
or my lady's seven course supper at
the tony society function. In his pure
ly barbarian stage man was an eater
of uncooked food, raw meats and
grains and roots just as they were
gathered, eating just as do the ami
mals-the lion, the wolf, the monkey.
AS he developed he used fire to pre-
pare his food, finding it thus more
palatable and appetizing, and little by
little as he advanced in civilization he
greatly enlarged his bill of fare and a
more general use Of fire in the prepa-
ration of his food. Then came knives,
forks and spoons in place of fingers,
then platters and dishes and some sort
of decency and order in the serving of
his food until today the science of
cookery and the serving of food have
become one of the fine arts. and in
all civilized society the last trace of
the barbarian and savage has been or
should be wholly eliminated. Watch
a man eat, and it is easy to Judge
whether he is refined and well bred or
not. The habit of eating is formed at
the home table, and parents have an
important duty in the matter of train
ing their children at the table. 1t is
impossible for one to eat at home i'll a
crude, uncouth manner and be able to
conform to social requirements when
away from home.

Farm, Orchard and Garden Notes
By J. S. Trigg, Rockford, Iowa. Copyright 1903


Referring to climatic conditions,
people differ as to which season of
the year brings the most enjoyable
and the best days. For us there is
of the year when we realize that the
hard winter is gone, a day when the
sun shines and the south wind blows
and the grass and the woods are green
ing up and great flocks of wild fowl
are headed for their summer home in
the far north, a day when we just
like to curl up on the sunny side of an
old straw pile down by the woods and
watch the migratory birds, the heecy
clouds, hear the distant cackle of the
farm fowl, the ~rat-tat-tat Of a flicker
on a dry limb and the chicaree Of a
red squirrel and lie there in a dreamy,
lazy way, forget work and business
and let the old world just flicker. Ever
done it? Then there is often another
good day in June following a season of
great heat and storm, when the wind
from the northwest comes to one
fresh and tonic as a sea breeze to a
fevered patient, when nature is doing
a weeks work in a day in forcing veg
itation and he whose work is with the
soil then begins to see the embryo har-
vest and the reward for his toll. But
better than either are those late Sep
TENDER days, the harvest time, when
the stress and nervous energy of ma
ture wanes, when grains and fruits are
ripe and the fast mail train slows
down for the station at the end of its
run, when prairie chicken and black
bass get on the bill of fare and the
Wealthy apple trees are bending to
the ground with their load of red
checked l~usciousness and purpling
grapes are peeping from their leafy
shade. There may be lots of work to
do just then, but we always just like
to fool a day or so away about then
and enjoy the delightful environment,
for there are some things which are
worth more than money and which
money can't buy, and this is one of
them. Of what value are dividends,
fame, business, politics, compared
with enjoying the full measure of such
a September day?

The End Of the Game,

The boom in northwestern farm
lands has flattened out. Good thing.
The whole country was getting lousy
with real estate agents; land gam
blers were at every corner and cross
roads; steady old grangers we're los
ing their heads and going to get rich
in six months buying range lands to
sell to suckers for farms. The fellows
who unloaded last year are all right;
those who went into the game then
are left. Hundreds of old grangers
in the west who sought investment
for the first surplus they had ever had
have now got it permanently invested
and can m again to crimp and
work hard or the old farm to pay
off the mortgage which they put on it
10 buy cheap lands. The land agents
are on the road this season selling
books, lightning rods and stock foods,
still working the farmer, but on other
lines.

tho Major? In the office? The devil
he is"
Toward the Office slowly strobe old
Gideon Bats, tanning himself with his
white SLOUGH hat. He vas short, fat
and bald; he was bow-legged with a
comical squat; his eyes stuck out like
the eyes Of a swamp frog; his nose
was enormous, shapeless, and red. To
the Majors family he traced the dim
NEST line of kinship. During twenty
years he had operated a small planta-
ton that belonged to the Major, and
he was always at least six years be-
hind with his rent. He had married
the widow Martin, and afterward
swore that he had been ~disgracefully
deceived by her, that he had expected
must but had found her money-less;
and after this he had but small faith
in women. His wife died and he went
into contented mourning, and out of
gratitude to his satisfied melancholy
swore that he would pay his rent, but
failed. Upon the Major he had a
strong hold, and this was a puzzle to
the neighbors. Their characters stood
at fantastic and whimsical variance;

Archibald Colquhoun, who has
made Oriental affairs a personal
study, and the subject of several
valuable works, concludes that for
many years to come the Philippines
must be under a quasi-military rule,
and that as the climate is unsuited to
American soldiers, u government
should utilize the excellent military
material to be found among the
Fillipinos, who take kindly to mill
tary life, and who, if dressed up in
smart uniforms and given good pay,
satisfactory rations and ~considerate
treatment, will make loyal and eff
cient soldiers. IS
After many failures and disasters,
Great Britain has learned that its best
policy in India, Burmah, Egypt and
the Malay peninsula has been the or
ganization of native troops This sys-
TEN, says Mr.. Colquhoun, "acts bene-
ficially in two ways: 1t provides an
outlet for the more restless spirits
and for the warlike tribes to whom
fighting is the salt of existence, and it
furnishes IA body of trained men ac-
customed to the country and climate,
to deal with the. local uprisings."
Mr.. Colquhoun congratulates our
government upon having selected in
General Wood, for a tour of observa-
ton in the Philippines, a man who has
proved himself adapted to a difficult
situation. AS on his route he passes
through Egypt, India, the Malay pen
insula and the Dutch East Indies, he
will be able to pick up much valuable
information as to the methods of or
ganizing and employing native troops.

Our Philippine Problems

He mentions as the most important
things General Wood will learn on his
tour, the judicious proposition of
American to native forces, the proper
division of races, the high standard
to be required in American officers,
among which is a knowledge of the
native languages. Paramount among
other important details too numerous
for mention, are the necessity Of rail-
way communications and of the CO.
operation of the civil and military SER
vice.
Judge Henry G. Ide, who has passed
several years in the Philippines as
United States commissioner, and has
done much toward establishing for
the islands a just and humane system
of laws, would correct the ideas Of
those who place the Filipinos on a
level with the Athenians of the age
of Pericles, or of those who, on the
other hand, regard them as only one

strength with wisdom and justice.
The Philippine situation presents
many problems which it will require
years to solve, but thus far American
progress on this remote and alien soil
has been far greater than could have
been expected.-Minneapolis Tribune.

bowling, and then, after a short pause,
he added: 81 don't know what to say
in explanation of-of myself. But 1
should think, sir, that the strength of
q mans love is a sufficient defense of
any weakness he may possess-I
mean a sufficient defense of any in
discretion that his love has led him to
commit. This situation stole upon
me, and l was scarcely aware of its
coming until it was here. l don't
know how serious" He coughed
his words, and when he became calm
er, repeated his plea that love ought
to excuse any weakness in man. Your
daughter is an angel of mercy" he
said. when | found myself dying as
young as | was and as hopeful as | had
been my soul filled up with a bitter
resentment against nature and God,
but she drew out the bitterness and
instilled a sweetness and a prayer.
And now to take her from me would
be to snatch away the prospect of that
life that lies hHvond the grave.
Sir, l heard you tell her that she was
crazy. If so, then may God bless all
such insanity" ~;
He pressed the handkerchief to his
mouth, racking, struggling; and when
the ~convulsive agony had passed he
smiled, and there in the shadow by
the door the light that crossed his face
was CHASTITY, like a dim smear of phos-
phorus. And now the Majors shout
ders were not stiffened with resent
ment; they were dropping with a pity
that he could not conceal, but his face
was hard set, the expression of the
mercy of one man for another, but al
so the determination to protect a
daughter and the good name of an
honored household.

Farmers Exempt.

Amid all the economic strife of the
day-labor strikes here, there, every
where, disturbing business and maxi
ing the employer of labor wish he was
dead, the farmer has so far fortunate
ly been exempt, and, while, obedient
to the law of supply and demand, he
has been forced to largely increase the
wages paid his help, he still has not
been held up by the men he employees
and made to suffer the losses which
even a temporary suspension of farm
work would entail. The rate of wages
now paid for farm help is very liberal,
and it is becoming a serious matter
with not a few men how to use such
high priced labor to advantage. More
and more is the man on the farm
studying how to make a machine and
horseflesh do the work of the man,
and it is the only thing he can do.
