a scheme for road improvement in
view, and Mr.. Gallinger has introduced
in the senate a bill almost identical
with it. The sentiment, which two
years ago was too feeble to find ex-
preston seems now sufficiently deVel-
oped in both houses Of congress to
take the form Of matured legislation.
While the bills thus far introduced
were prepared by Republicans, they
are in no sense partisan measures.
Senator Latimer Of South Carolina, has
also formulated a bill, and will very
soon introduce 1t in the senate, pro-
viding in a similar manner for a gen.
eral system Of cooperation in perma-
nent road building between the United
States and the various states. 1t Is
contended by those who favor such
legislation that this is the accepted
time to push the bills for passage, at
time when congress is making appro-
priations for forest reservation and for
the irrigation of arid land. 1t is con-
tended that good roads are next in Or
der. and are equally as important.

of 1902. One of these reports says, in
part: 1.-The area devoted to American
cotton has increased 1922 per cent.

with Skill and GeHtleress the Mother
Rescued the Youngster.
Il was very much amused and very
much instructed recently" said a man
who lives in the country, "by the an
tics Of a mother squirrel in my section,
and while l have grown up, as might
say, among squirrels and cypress
trees, it was revelation to me. The
squirrel had nested in a low, dumpy
cypress tree close to the edge of a lake,
and the nest was probably thirty or
forty feet from the ground. The
mother squirrel happened to be in the
tree at the time, although I had no
occasion to notice either the old SOUR
rel or her young until something trag-
ical happened in the family. In some
way one Of the little fellows scram-
bled over the edge Of the nest and
fell to the ground. l heard the noise.
and, looking in the direction of the
sound, saw the baby squirrel
squirming around in great agony and
totally unable to get on It's feet. The
mother squirrel rushed down the side
of the cypress like a streak, and al
most in an instant she was by the
side of her offspring. She took in the
situation at glance, and. set to work
to get the youngster back In the nest.
She switched the body around and
turned it over and then grabbed IT
with her teeth just under the smaller
portion of the back. Instinctively, I
suppose, the young squirrel threw Its
arms around the mothers body, and
after she made sure that the hold
was good she started cautiously back
to the nest She reached there safely
and I saw no more OF the distressed
mother nor the youngster. 1 was yery
much impressed with the gentleness
and skill she displayed in handling the
Injured baby squirrel, and really II
was an inspiring scene."-The Mai

WOMAN CLERKS IN GERMANY.
Steady Progress of the Sex In Spite of
Conservatism.

Steady Progress of the Sex In Spite of
Conservatism.
Women have become an indispens-
able factor in the German postal tele-
graph and telephone service, it seems,
in spite Of the conservatism which pre-
vented the utilization Of feminine &C.
tlvities in public work in Germany
until nearly half a century later than
in France and England. United States
Consul Monaghan, Of Chemnitz, in his
recent communication to the United
States department Of commerce and
labor, reviews briefly the conditions
and requirements which are of interest
as showing the progress Of women In
the fatherland.
1t Is not every woman who can oh
tain a position in the German postal
service, so strict are the government
regulations respecting age, character.
education and health. A government
medical examiner pronounces upon the
health, which must be perfect; the
age must not exceed 80 or be under IL,
ana good common school education
Is primary requisite. Possessing all
these qualifications, the woman cam
didate is eligible only to a position
as assistant in the postottice, and the
highest salary she can hope for Ia
Sll9 year. In the telegraph and
telephone service, however, all grades
or positions are open to women
though the rules Of admission aro
equally strict, and no women with
children are employed. Four thousand
women are now engaged in the teIe-
phone service Of the German empire
it is stated, 1000 Of them being IN
Berlin. The hours are light, ranging
from six to eight a day.

CHAPTER XVI,


Wiping away her tears, poor Ethel
placed the basket of food and knife upon
the floor, by the entrance of the tower,
as Sir Reginald had told her to attend to
the business in that quarter before ad-
ministering to the wants Of the conceal
ed quadruped. -~M -
At last the weary steps were climbed,
anud she stood painting on the broad land
ing, just below the upper windows OF the
place. 1t was standing on this landing
that her part of the ghostly work was to
be performed.
Taking then a long handled torch, with
which the colored lights above were to be
touched in order to light them, she ap-
piled the candle to it, and reaching up
soon had every one Illuminated and fam
ing away in the usual unearthly looking
glare. -
In doing 50 she never observed the
tall, silent figure of the man who had
crept after her and now stood in the
shade below, intently watching her every
motion.
The stuffed form before her was next
to be attended to. Taking, therefore, the
lamp from within the head she lighted it,
and putting it back almost exclaimed at
the effect the colored light gave the eyes.
Winding the crang slowly, she saw
that 1t worked as she supposed it would,
and soon the impish figure was swung
aloft and stood dancing to and fro, to
the terror and dismay of all outward be-
holders.
With tears still falling over her pale
cheeks Ethel stood with her eyes fasten-
ed above, upon the swaying motions Of
that frightful looking image, when her
heart almost stopped within her, and a
wild cry burst from her lips as these
words fell upon her ears:
SIS it possible that this is the occupa-
ton of Miss Ethel Nevergail this stormy
night?"
Turning, she saw advancing towards
her. and fully revealed by the lights
above, the form of DR.. Elfenstein.
\"Oh, DOCTOR" she walled, as she buried
her face in her hands, and burst into low
sobs Of shame and dismay, how came
you here to witness my disgraceful
work?'
Then suddenly remembering her
charge, and true to the interests of her
| employer, she again seized the crank and,
lowering the image, extinguished that
hSuG lamp, do wen IuC OluSlo, 4cdN lllS
everything in darkness but for the feeble
| flare of the one little candle she had plac-
ed upon the floor. Then turning, she
| faced her accuser.
II came, no matter how; suffice it that
| was determined to unmask this daring
| fraud, and so allay the fears of timid
women and children. Certainly in doing
this never expected to discover that
Miss Nevergail was the prime mover in
| this outrageous piece of work!'
Ethel listened to the cold, hard words
/ in utter despair, then huttering like a
wounded bird to the side of the indig-
nant man, she laid one small, white hand
on his arm, which was shaken off in dis
| dain before she could utter one of the
| following words:
ut is the first time l ever did this
thing. Oh, believe me; surely you must
remember that I was in Liverpool when
you saw that sight, the time when it last
appeared"
Eyes, that is true had forgotten. But
that does not absolve you from to-night's
CHASTITY deception" was the still cold re-
ply.
| ITO he continued
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-08-20

The sight of those tears caused him to
take one step toward her, but she fortu-
nately did not see him, but drew to the
door, after securing the basket, and he
then heard her little feet start down the
corridor.
Resolved not to be baked In his eff
forts to unrayel this night one mystery
at least, DR.. Elfenstein pushed again to-
wards the door, and to his joy, 1t this
time yielded to his touch.
Poor Ethel! this night for the first
time had been required by Sir Reginald
Glendenning to visit the tower and follow
out directions he gave her in full, for
producing the illusions that were to terri
fly the unsuspecting public. ,.....,....
In great agitation then, and still weep
ing, she had proceeded to the fulilfment
Of her loathsome duty, and In her grief
and excitement, for the first time forgot
to fasten the door, after possessing her
self of the food.
This forgetfulness accounts for the
entrance of the doctor into the corridor,
and enabled him to follow her advancing
figure, softly in the distance.

- Con siderable Of complaint is be-
ing made by patrons OF the post office
ON account of the large number of
small children who hang around the
Office waiting for the distribution OF
mail. and wrestle and run around the
office, making so much noise that II
is impossible for the post mistress to
distribute the mail readily. Espec-
ially on days when the mail is late,
Is the above disorderly most seen. the
office being so full OF children that an
adult can hardly enter. II the above
occures again, the post mistress will
lock the outside door until all the
mail has been distributed. The in
nocent will have to wait out side, al
though they are not to blame.
What is a dollar anyhow The
question is easily answered. A dol
lar is what some men promise to pay
to their country newspaper. 1t is
something that the newspaper man
enjoys more in anticipation than in
reality. IL is Whist the wife frequent
rs needs but seldom has. IL 10 the
price for days labor for some men
and for = nights drunk for OF hers. Ii
is the power that makes or unmSkes
men. IL is the hardest thing to get
and the easiest to get rid OF known to
mankind. 1t is mighty and scarce.
No man ever had more than he want
ed and no man ever will have. A dol
lar is snare and a delusion. -Clin-
