SANKEY'S SIGHT NOT GOING.
Alarming Rumor About the Great
EVANGELIST Is Denied.

GNai1SN9h 70 OClhCbs
Almost everybody has, at some
time or other, sung out of the Moody
G. Sankey hymn book And last
week it was said that Ira d. Sankey,
old and in ill-health, had been stricken
blind.
Allen Sankey, eldest son of the
Evangelist, said in reference to his
fathers condition. THE report that
father is totally blind, or is going
to be. is an exaggeration. 1t is true
he has been having trouble with his
eyes for some time and has been
operated upon, but he is getting along
we'll and we trust his sight will be
little, il any, impaired. Worry about
his eyes and overwork have affected
his general health also. but rest will

the vast pile, an aged seneschal, ar
rayed in orange livery, undrew the
| bolts and peered at the visitor.
"The Baroness" said Joynes, sis
she at homer"
Madame bid me to expect a gentle
man Of foreign speech at ten hours,
Mein Herr is without doubt the Excel
lency in question, though whole

The visitor acknowledged the i'm.
posing title
"A note, then. from Madame the
Baroness for mein Herr continued
the old man, extending a dainty bit
! Of paper sealed with the Baroness's
crest-an armed man riding upon an
aurochs..
Joynes eagerly tore upon the en-
velope. In the light Of the electric
cluster that hung from the portcullis
arch he read:
Dear Keyworth sorry. Meet
me at the Grand Opera house in
Johannesburg at eievep tonight
Hastily.
"ARETHUSA Won O."
Joynes rushed out and climbed once
more into his hired motor car. An
other wild dash through the night and
= was back at Hofbrau. From Hof-
brau he was tubed to Rome-from
nome to Cairo-from Cairo direct to
Johannesburg. 1t was not much after
ten when he shot from the Grand
Opera House tube into his private
boX-where his box chemist was in
attendance during the entire opera
season against just such an unexpect-
ed arrival. Joynes seated himself
and gaZed across at the Baroness

ent in all the jewels of her illustri.
GUS house and surrounded by some
of the richest men of the age.
When the curtain fell on the second
act the president of the Cake Trust
made his way to the Baroness's box.
She had already smiled at him
across the plt-now she extended her
Laintily gloved hand.

that you couldn't get to Ochsenreiter

could all return to Paris together in

Baroness Won Ochsenreiter turned to
another Of her guests and chartered
away till the curtain rose again.
Joynes sat in the background and
looked rather solemn for one so
highly honored. Really" he said to
himself. II can't see why she made
me ride in that confounded motor
car to that desolate Ochsenreiter
hole" Then he watched the Baron.

Senator Quay and Andrews, who is now
a Territorial Senator in the land of his
adoption. declare that the Republican
party. through the last two National Con-
ventions. has demanded Statehood for
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, and
also that the Democratic National party
has endorsed admission. They protest
that the territory is peaceable, prosperous,
law abiding, enterprising, with valuable
well developed, a vast agricultural dis
trict fully improved and vast mineral de-
posits which are annually adding to the
wealth of the nation.
Senator Quay claims that the railroads
of the State are well built and reach into
eyery quarter, over 5000 miles now being
in operation and many hundreds Of miles
more under contract. 1t will be the fourth
State in the Union in point Of size, with
over 78, OOO, 900 acres within the iurisdic-
ton, of which over $1,000, 900 acres are
vet subject to presumption; an area as
large as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
combined, 1t has costly public, educa-
tional and religious structures, fine ho-
tells, clubs and names. The population is
Republican almost to a man, the vast cat
tie and sheep interests causing the New
Mexicans to appreciate the protective tar
iff of the Republican party. Last year

THE CHICK EN- MITE.

One of the most troublesome pests
with which poultry growers have to
deal is the chicken mite, or chicken
tick. as it is more properly called. When
a flock becomes infested with this para
site the egg production is reduced. and
in many cases the profits seriously Co.,
tailed by the pest. Matching hens and
young chicks are especially liable to
its attacks. y bulletin upon this sub

that is OF actual money value 10 those
who grow poultry either uron a large
or a small scale. The bulletin is based
upon recent experiments in combating
the pest. Kerosene emulsion Is rec

Its preparation and application. The

cost of about 40 cents per thirty gal
