va. q wild scramble for horses. His

was a wild scramble for horses. His
two sisters and his foreman went uhun-
deripg out to meet the solitary rider,
who had separated from the group OF
distant horsemen and who was now
heading for the ranch.
The girl went to her room and locked
herself In. She heard the little cavai-
cade ride up; she heard the men greet
ing him hilariously. She threw herself
on to the bed and buried her face in
her hands.
Late in the evening b stole down
stairs and out of doors. She wanted to
be alone. AS she approached the corral
she saw him standing there alone. She
saw, too. that his left arm was In a
sling.
Her first impulse was to turn and
run. but before she could do II 1t was
too late. He had seen her and was
coming toward her, smiling-this man
with the blood Of others on his lands!
She stood quite still. trembling from
head to foot.
Aren't you glad I'm back?' he ask
ed lightly, yet with a touch of eager
ness in his tones.
"You-you found themY' she asked
br~eathlessly.
'"The rustlers? Yes" he replied.
'They stood us off for a time. We kill
ed two in the night. The other wo"-
Don't, Oh, DON'T she begged.
He drew himself up. Il had best tell
you all Of IT," he said with quiet force.
I'VE hanged them at the first clump of
cottonwoods we passed that evening
She stood silently looking at him.
Her breath came hard, her fingers
~nervously clasped. He waited patient
ly, still smiling.
"You are hurt" she faltered, point
ing to his wounded arm.
'This:' he laughed bitterly. "Oh, it's
merely a scratch. 1t doesn't matter.
The only thing that hurts is what you
think Of me-"
She look a hesitating step forward.
She paused, wavered. irresolute, then
ran quickly to him.
81 am glad" she declared irrelevant
ly, "glad, glad"
"Glad of what. dear?" he asked with
grave tenderness.
"Glad ~just-just because of you" she
said in a voice that was half laugh,
half sob.

what Was a Yeoman9

The following quotation from Bishop
Latimer's First Sermon Preached Be
fore King Edward VI" March 8. 1549,
is a good illustration of the meaning
of the word yeoman and shows the
primitive and customs of
those times:
"My father was a yeoman and had
no lands of his own, only be had a
farm of f3 or "a by year at the utter
most, and %hereupon he titled so much
as kept half a dozen men. He had
walk for 100 sheep, and my mother
MIXED thirty kline. He was able and
did find the king a harness, with him
self and his horse, while he came to
the place that he should receive the
kings wages. 1 can remember that l
buckled his harness when we went
unto Blackheath field. He kept me to
school or else l had not been able to
have preached before the kings maj
esty now. He married my sisters with
f5, or 20 mobiles apiece, so that he
brought them up in godliness and fear
of God. He kept hospitality for his
poor neighbors, and some aims he gave
to the poor. And all this he did of the
said farm, where he that now hath it
payeth f16 by year or more and is not
able to do anything for his prince, for
himself nor for his children, or give II
cup of drink to the poor."-Notes and

John Sharp Williams, the demo-
cratic leader of the house, has come
out in favor Of the presidents rail
road rate program which shows that
Mr.. Williams wears his middle name
rightly.
The horn of plenty bestows ON the
United States this year a banner
corn crop exceeding 2,7O0,OOO,OOO
bushels. One feature of the vast
harvest is especially encouraging to
farmers, and that is the increased
yield per acre, amounting to four
bushels over the average for the
preceding ten years.
Eighty -four dollars is the price Of
a saloon license in San Francisco,
good for one year. The question ST
rails ing the license to $500 was sub
mitted to the voters at the recent
election, and failed to carry by
nearly 5000 votes. The strongest
influence brought to bear against an
increased tribute was the threat Of
the saloon men to abolish free
lunches. There is a great field for
a vigorous consecrated revivalist in
Frisco.
President Roosevelt has ordered
that the pay of the crews of the sub
marine boats be increased SIS per
month with a dollar a day extra
compensation for each day or portion
of a day that they spend beneath the
surface of the water. President
Roosevelt was so impressed by the
dangerous character of the work of
the sailors when he went to the
bottom of Oyster Bay on the
Plunger that he decided they were
entitled to a higher rate of pay than
is received by the sailors of the big
battleships. The amount of the
extra pay is limited to $15 a month.
A fine argument has been brought
forward for football by an exchange
which contrasts the lives of two boys.
John plays football from 4 to 6 and
goes home bruised and bloody. He
rejects sympathy; all he wants is his
supper and a chance to crawl off to
bed. His mother says to herself,
"this must stop. l will see the
school board and the humane
society,"" Will plays pool from.4 to
8, and the animal energy within him
is not spent. After supper he can
not study, he must do something.
So he goes uptown, plays another
game of pool, smokes a cigarette,
swaps stories in front of a store, and
returns home with his clothes in
perfect order, his hair nicely parted
in the middle-his mothers very
ideal of manly beauty. But John
is plodding the rugged road to
sturdy manhood, and Will is headed
down towards general assininity.
Such is the argument, and it must
be acknowledged that there is some
thing in it. But the trouble is that
only % or $50 out of a university
of several thousand students will
play football with any chsnce of
amounting to any more at the game
than a hyspeck in window cleaning
time, while the other two or three
thousand students are driven to pool
and cigarettes. Some more univer-
sal sport is needed.

The poultry industry is rapidly grow

source of great profit to the farmers.
1t is probable that the local business

grow in Importance as the farmers begin

Food AdulteTatiOn.

bought in the open market in Nash

SAID that his investigation showed that
about so per cent. OF the articles of
food on the Nashville market were
adulterated and that in many cases
with positively poisonous minerals.
He reviewed the wOIk of the food IN
spectors of North Carolina, Massa-
cnusetts, Minnesota and other States
and SAID that the same results had been
found everywhere. The members gave
every attention to the paper and ex-
ahmed a number of minerals he had
taken from foods he had analysed.
