After a few moments of painful
silence, possibly seeing from our dis

impatient with his arbitrary manner,
he said. But do not want to be un-

Utterly ignoring me, he asked the
lawyer how soon he could produce the
witness.
"a half hour after you issue the
summons" was the reply.
"The court stands adjourned till the

me, prepare the necessary summons"

As the lawyer passed me when leav-

and with a solemn wink whispered,

But Colonel buchanan was supreme
over any court where he presided, and
no question was ever permitted to be
asked that he did not fully sanction

LUCKY STEERIGE MOTHER.

A few weeks ago the European
steamer Graf Waldcrscc came limping
into New York llarbOr after having en-
c0untcrc1. according to statements of
the steamer officials and crew, one of
the worst storms ever encountered on
the Atlantic But Notwithstanding the
rough voyage, there was little incl

much attention as the storm. On the
second day out just before the storm
broke there was born to one of the

propriately named Herman Waldersee

THE TYPICAL AMERICAN MOTHER
PAINTING BY MAUD STEMM.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1892
8 steefage passengers embarked for
New York from European ports during
the past three years, according to
figures complied by the immigration
authorities It Is a remarkable fact that
only 116 babies have been born in the
steerage during that time. This num-
ber does not include the recent arrival
on the Waldersee.
Yet there was ali early precedent
for ocean births. for. according to his
tory. the first English child born In the
limits Of New ENGLAND was Perefrine
White. who first saw light 6t day on

How Woman Made a Success of the
 Home Vepetabl Garden

Theory is the foundation, eXperi- ence the finished structure. Garden books as a rule run to the theoretical side and 1t is up to each one of us to bu,- the seed and accumulate the ex- penence, oftentimes a most expensive proposition, especially in the vegetable garden; hence when a book appears that is practical and written by an amateur who can and does raise each year all the vegetables for the home table, it is bound to receive a warm welcome.
 How to Make a Vegetable Garden, /" by Edith Loring Fullerton, is a new book just published by Doubleday. Page & Co.,, New York City. at S2.00. It has over 350 pages and is profusely illus trated by halftOne reproductions of photographs taken especially for this book, which covers all phases of gar Gening-the breaking of the soil, fer ulizatfon, planting, growth, cultivation and even the preparation for the table, each vegetable story covering the housewife's end of it by means of recipes for cooking and serving
 Every portion of the book is thor ough1y practical. being the story of personal experience from beginning 10 end. A very ingenious table is added. giving planting time, depth to plant. date of maturity and many most help full hints

AS THE PARSON TOLD IT.
cquib Sounded All Right When Es Heard It, But He Got It
 Twisted.

R R Robinson. of Elmira. N Y, told the Kansas City Star the following story on a minister who is friend of his:
 Now, while this clergyman IS not an Englishman, l believe he inclines that way or at least his sense of humor does" sad Mr Robinson. "A few days ago a man at a little dinner propounded tbs following: Why is tin can tied to dog s tail like death:'
 The answer was: Because 1t s bound to occur
 This made qu.te q hit with the rec tor and a few days later when he was invited out to dinner one evening se- res of conundrmns were passed around.
 The divine saw his chance, and he asked the same question: Why is tin can tied to dog k tail like deathy'
 No one knew the answer, and he propounder immediately spoke up: Be cause 1t IS sure to happen
 And he looked disappointed when the squib didn't break laugh

 Perhaps no writer of magazine fiction can equal the speed record made by Ed win Lefevre. He produced 1S,000 words between Saturday and Monday, all writ ten in longhand, for Mr. Lefeyre doesn | use a typewriter. The mere physical labor of penciling out this enormous quantity of copy would be no mean un- dertaking in itself to many of the craft, but MT Lefevre is a newspaper man. the financial editor of a New York daily, and as such he does not consider q mere matter of 6000 words day feat worth boasting of.
 In England. it is said, competition in the trade is enhancing the prices paid to authors of the first class. To secure a book by popular author nowadays it is often necessary to make arrange ments with him not months but years before it is written. There is one we'll known writer who. it is asserted, has filled up his programme of books with the publishers who are to produce them up to 1914 And it is one of the risks which publishers have to face that the authors powers may have diminished or his popularity waned before the con- traet is fulfilled.

THE END IF THE GRIP
REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
 COMPLICATED TROUBLES.
Deafness, Kissing Sounds in Head, Stomach Disorder, Palpitation of Heart and
 Debility Overcome at Last.


 Mir. Newman certainly had very tough time With the grip, and it is no wonder that lie thinks that the remedy that cured him can't be beat. His case shows how profoundly grip poisons the system and how obStinately 1t resists all ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
 Few cases can be worse than Mir New man for he had head. heart and stom- ach troubles combined with great weak ness. He recently said:
 "The attack of grip which had eight years ago left me in a very bad fix. I became nearly deaf and my head ached continually and was filled with hissing and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered and had regular running-away spells. My stomach was so sore that I could hardly bear a touch on that part of my body. had a great deal of pain ill the region of my liver and the doctor said that organ was enlarged. My kidneys ached so at times that I could hardly stand.'
 Didn't you give up and go to bed?" he was asked.
 No, I simply wouldn't My head and my back ached dreadfully, but I obstinately dragged myself about, kept growing worse and finally ran down to almost nothing
 What did you do to get relief"
 First 1 tried doctor, but he did me no good. Then I took all kinds of ad- vertised preparations but nothing proved helpful until 1 began to use Dr. Williams Pink Pills. As soon as 1 got them I knew that I had at last hit the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for mo than anything else I had ever taken. They gave me relief right away and in three months they positively cured me. I think I was scarcely ever ill better health in my life than am at present"
 Mir William A. Newman is we'll known Camden county farmer. living at Sagrada, Missouri. His case was se- we're test for any remedy. but Dr. Will liams' Pink Pills met every requirement.. Other remedies merely drive the poison of the grip into hiding, but Dr. Williams Pink Pills drive 1t out of the system. They are sold by every druggist.
