CONFERENCE WITH LEDGE"

On cool November morn, when the good-souled people of Birmingham were offering up thanks for the good luck and fortune which had come upon them during the past year, a party of disappointed looking men might have been seen at the union passenger station In the act of purchasing tickets for long and weary journey.
 Each left the little brass-harred window bearing his ticket. and with sorrowing looks stood at the entrance gate wistfully gazing at the seemingly happy people as they swarmed past gaily chatting about the coming holiday and their plans for cold weather.
 Peering over the shoulder of one of the holders of these mysterious tickets was an aged man, whom the reader will readily recognize as old Keen Nose, the detective. Close behind the old detective crept his young partner, Johnny Quick sight, an astute young man with a re- markable ability for donning quick dis guises.
 Old Keen Nose threw a searching glance across the outgoing passengers but could discover nothing. Quickly disgusting his

 "Verily I believe you are right" am swered Old Keen Nose and the two brushed the guard aside and entered the station. Disgusting themselves as dead head passengers the trail scenters board ed the car just behind the mysterious quartette and an eventful journey had begun.
 In a few moments the long train was winding It's way out of the network of railway tracks and Birmingham was rap- idly left in the distance. In the mean time the .ysterious quartette had as- sembled around a table in the dining car and after binding and gagging the wait CTS the two detectives donned their white jackets and proceeded to take the some time candidates orders In the meantime they were taking notes.

Each of the would-be passengers carried a small dress suit case in his right hand and they bore the following initials: "C. s." "J. w. o." "J. c. F." and M. H. C." By a system known only to themselves the dectectives figured this out as meaning Charles s. Simmons. John W. o'Neill, John C. Forney and Moses H. Crittenden. A foul plot had been un- earthed and then and there the two old sleuth hounds pledged themselves to eat nothing but food and .mbibe nothing but laid bare.

 of addition 1t appears that the lying ele- ment contains just 1923 names and has the balance of power. What could an honest man do against that?"
 With quartette of disgusted looks the one-time predictors of success sat down and began cutting on sirloin steak. In low conversation they vainly endeavored to spot their supporters, but finally gave up. It was definitely decided to refer the matter to the Board of Trade and the Commercial Club wi h the request that an indignation meeting be called and that speeches be heard from the various men who made Birmingham as well as Vulcan.
 Only the Aftermath.
 Onward the train sped at increasing speed and presently a large city was reached. The walters were rushed out after papers and again there came a knockout blow of intense severity. The only article from Birmingham was an aftermath of the downfall of the myste- rious quartette,' and with the dining room passengers there was nothing do- ing.
 The details of this tortuous journey would only serve to worry the reader. and 1t is sufficient to say that in due time the pilgrimage to Esopus, the land of the fallen, had been ended.
 At the little station near the Hudson a crowd of farmers clad in blue overalls and gum boots were lazily sitting on the closed ends of ten-penny nail kegs talk ing about the war. The election had been forgotten Away to the west stretched the abandoned fields of the Parker estate and the numerous herds of dry cattle were taking advantage of the wasted hay. A little way down the hill lay the placid waters of Judge Parkers swimming hole. which newspaper men had made famous. There the passengers from Birmingham looked for the ''jedge," but were told that since the campaign the baths had been abandoned.
 As they stood in a group disappointed and dejected a red-headed man wearing large sombrero and moustache emerged from a nearby apple orchard and walked rapidly to where the Birmingham party waited.
 He was none other than Judge Parker. the sage of Esopus.
 The Judge Was Pleased. q am glad to meet you gentlemen" said the "jedge' with that affable smile which had not worn off since the cam paign. Wont you step into the apple orchard and see my 1904 crop" All were willing and as they passed through the bordering grass and weeds a man could be seen blowing nearby That Is my friend Sheehan," explained the stedge." and he was called away from the blow to meet the quartette. Up to this time the 'jedge" did not know the identity of the visitors, but the shrewd I sheehan, observing the initials on the grips, turned up the scheme. WitE d shocked expression and looa of deep

eyes as a double power x-ray machine he again bent his gaze on the four ap- parent culprits and low chuckle of sat- isfaction rewarded the experiment.
 "I have it, Quicksight." he whispered to his partner
 'The tickets are labelled Esopus.'"
 Quick work was now necessary and af- ter Quicksight had armed himself with long-barrelled magazine pistol the two detectives pressed forward.

 As the two detectives crept closer tears were streaming down the eyes of the con- ferees, and without uttering word the 'jedge" sadly clasped the hands of his wis., itors and slowly led the sorrowing pro- cession to the abode of the nearest dis penser of hard cider.

EXPENSE OF LIVING GREATER

While all the changes possible are
being rung on the prosperity cry there
are thousands of idle workingmen in
every large manufacturing city 10 the
country, and those who are fortunate
enough to have employment are
working for wages much below the
figures of two years ago And IN the
meantime as wages go down the cost
of food steady goes up. Since
the end of the meat cutters strike the
Beef Trust, which through Mr.. j.
Ogden Armour, declares that it is
'emphatically for Roosevelt, and will
be satisfied to have him continue in
Office because it can be pret'y certain
what he will de-" has advanced the
price of meat nearly two cents a
pound. The increase IN the cost of
living, attended as 1t is by falling
wages, is getting to be very serious
matter with the people and may have
much to do in determining the result
of the presidential election in Novem-
Der. But one thing is certain, and that
Is, there will be no procession of men
with 'full dinner pals" this year.
The New York World has called atten-
ton to the fact that it cost the people
of the United States on an average
1914. II per head for food in 1897, when
the Republican party returned to pow
err at Washington, and this year it
costs $50. 58-an increase of over 81 per
cent. The World shows by carefully
considered figures that it takes 81 81 to
buy as much food as a dollar would
buy seven years ago.
