proposition that they allow you the
refusal of the land at one hundred
thousand, and they have finally come
round to it. AS told them, they could
not possibly market thing like that
as easily and for as good a price as
company regularly in the business.
may have been wrong in giving such
advice, but it was the way I felt
about it,
Without realizing it, Wilson tripped
in another hole dug by Miller's inven-
tive mind
They couldn't do half as we'll with
it, the Boston man said. I'm fact, no
one could, as 1 told you, pay as much
for the property as we can, considering
the railroad we have to move some
where and our gigantic facilities for
handling lumber in America and
abroad. Still think, and our directors
think, hundred thousand is a big
price,"
Miller laughed as if amused. 'That's
five dollars an acre, you know, but
I'm not here to boom Mr.. Bishops
timber land. In fact, all this has
grown out Of my going down to At
lanta to borrow twenty-five thousand
dollars on the property. I think I
would have saved time if hadn't run
on you down there, Mr.. Wilson,.
Wilson frowned and looked at his
cigar.
1--WE are willing" said he, ito make
the loan at 5 per cent per annum on
two conditions"
"Well, out with them,'' laughed Mil
Ter. "What are they?'
"First," said Wilson slowly and me-
thodically, eve want the refusal of
the property at one hundred thousand
dollars"
Mlller's Indifference was surprising
For what length Of time do you want
the refusal of the property at that fig
ure?' he asked, almost in a tone of
contempt.
Wilson hung fire, his brow wrinkled
thoughtfully
It'll it is decided positively" he got
out finally. whether we can get a
charter and right of way to the prop
erty.''
That's entirely too indefinite to suit
my clients said the lawyer. do you
suppose, Mr.. Wilson, that they want
to hang their property up on a hook
like that? Why, if you didn't attend
to pushing y6ar road through-well,
they would simply be in your hands,
the Lord only knows how long,
But we intend to do all we can to
shove it through" said Wilson, with a
| f1ush
You know that is not businesslike
proposition, Mr.. Wilson," said Miller,
with bland smile. "Why, it amounts
to an option without any limit at ALL"
"Oh, I don't know" said Wilson
lamely. Mr.. Bishop will be interested
just as we are in getting a right Of
way through. In fact, it would insure
us of his help. We can't buy right
OF way; we can't afford it. The citi-
zens through whose property the road
runs must be persuaded to contribute
the land for the purpose, and Mr.. Bish-
op, of course, has influence up here
with his neighbors.''
| "Still he would be very imprudent,"
said Miller, ''to option his property
without any limit. Now here's what
we are willing to do. AS long as you
hold Mr.. Bishops note for $25, 900 I'M
PAID you shall have the refusal of the

Do not put hot foods into the re-

If much fee be used on the table and
for other purposes an authority advises
a storage box for this extra ice.
It is the food that is to be kept in

sickroom or at a picnic is another mat

A cellar OF other damp place is no
place for the refrigerator. On the other
hand, II should not be put out Of doors
unprotected
It should be sponged out often with
warm water In which little soda has
been dissolved and the drain should not

Should ants get into the refrigerator
a saucer Of tartar emetic mixed with
sugar and water should be placed there
in. II will drive them away.
Do not think Of covering the shelves
with cloth or paper any more than you
do the ice. There must be good circula-
ton. with consequent melting of fee
to preserve the foods therein.

the speaker the most enduring friendships

comradeship is closer or more eternal than
that among soldiers, nor in any business
or profession is there to be found the same
elf-sacrifice or enduring strength In the
fellowships as those formed in the cause

men who left their homes and went forth
to do battle for their country the term
Fellow Soldier has the most tender ana

SUNDAY ORAToRIOS.
Performance Suggested to the Choral

Some pertinent statements as to the pres

Society of the District are made In the an
nual report of Mr.. William Bruce-k1ng, the

commodate the organization, yet not too
large. is brought cut, and various expe-
dents for escaping the heavy expense at
tached to the use of Convention Hall are
suggested. The most satisfactory Of these
is that relatingst to Sunday night oratorios
Mr.. King states:
THE thea tiers are available on Sunday
nights. and an orchestra of local players
could be secured Possibly plan of CO.
operation might be arranged with the
Washington Symphony Orchestra. This
would enable the society to continue the
presentation of the great sacred works
founded on Scripture, such as The Mes
siah,' The CREATION Elijah and st. Paul,
Christian legend, such as 'Hora No
vissima.' st. Christopher or st. Elizabeth,
or on the liturgy of the Catholic Church,
such as the Requiem of Verdi and the
'Stabat Mater of Rossini. The necessary
limitation to sacred works would not be
serious detriment, since for many years
our programs have been over two-tlirds of
such character. The Handel and Hadyn
Society has for years presented such works
in Boston on Sunday without offense to
strict observers there of the sacreGness OF
the day. In some aspects, indeed. IL may
be said that Sunday is the most appropriate
day for the presentation of music on the
same themes which are the subject of oral
discourse on the same day in all the
churches. Due care would need to be taken
that the details surrounding such per-
formances might be of BETTING dignity.
Against this plan may be urged the view
that many would regard it as lessenlng the
proper observance of Sunday. Then, too a

by special tribute to Prof. H. M Paul,

sulting in the present prosperous condition
