He RODE FIRST GLASS.

Cost More, but He Didn't Have to Push
the Coach.
A gentleman who recently returned
from a far Western trip told this story
the other day of a stage coach ride
which he had in the Rocky Noun
tains.
Il wanted to go to 4 mining camp
which was ten miles from the nearest
railroad station, and the only way to
get there was either to walk or go by
coach.
when l reached the coach the driv-
er wanted to know how l wished to
trayel-irst, second, or third class. I
thought this question peculiar, as | did
not see three coaches, but one. How
ever, I decided to go first class, and
the driver replied the fare would be
81. Shortly after l had taken my seat
another man came UP to the coach,
and, after talking with the driver, de-
cided to go second class, at 81. lie
entered the coach and sat directly Il
posite me. Presently rather tough
looking fellow, resembling a tramp,
also entered the coach and sat down
beside me. He said he would travel
third class, and his fare was only so
cents.
after we were on our journey lit
tie way | began to wonder in what
consisted the difference of accommoda-
tons and why there should be three
classes when we all shared the same
coach. My ignorance on this point was
enlightened when we finally came to
long hill. The driver stopped his
horses, and, turning around i'll his seat.
cried in high voice: 'First-class pas
sengers, keep their seats; second class
passengers, get out and walk. and,
third-class passengers. get out and
push! l was glad I was travelling first
class" Baltimore Sun.

There is the agent, Raikes."
''Mr. Raikes has only seen me once,
in evening dress. He is away now. l

recognize me. l must stay one day some

her breath.
Brian did not come nome LnaL dlIel
noon until nearly dinner time. A long
day of almost complete isolation, deVot-
ed to earnest reflection, had had good
effect upon him.
He ran upstairs lightly, and opened
the drawing room door. Kitten was not
there. Then he recollected that 1t was
late, and that she was, no doubt, IN her
own room, dressing for dinner. He went
to her bedroom, but the door was wide
open and the room empty.
He slammed to his door and went 10
his dressing table. Upon his pincushlon
lay an envelope addressed to himself IN
his wife's handwriting. With strange.
sickening apprehension, he tore 1t open
and read:

terrible mistake, and we can never be
happy together. | am going away SO
that you may be free, and may be often
with her who has your heart. do not
look for me, for you will never find me-

complaint, no anguish of despair. His

CORN CROP NEARLY AL. SAFE.
High Temperatures Aid in the Rapid
Maturing of the Grain.

Maturing OF the Gralns
The weather burea1i in its weekly
bulletin summarizes crop conditions as
follows:
The temperature during the week end
ed Sept. % was favorable throughout the
country, being nearly everywhere above
the normal. Rains caused some dam
age in portions of the Missouri and up
per Mississippi valleys, while a consid
cradle part of the south Atlantic and
gulf States is in need of rain. Damag
ing frosts occurred in the middle Rocky
Mountain regions and light frosts, with
little or no injury, III portions of the
lower lake region and interior of the
middle Atlantic States.
Except in limited portions of the Mis-
souri, valley, corn has experienced a week
of conditions highly favorable for ma
turing the crop, from rs to 80 per cent
of which is now safe from frost, the re-
mainder requiring only about week of
favorable weather. In Nebraska consid-
cradle corn has been blown down by high
winds, but this will only make harvest
ing more difficult, without reducing the
yield. Some corn in shock in Missouri
and Kansas has been DANA ged by mois-
ture, due largely to rains Of the previous
week
The thrashing of spring wheat in the
Dakotas and Minnesota was interrupted
by rains during the first half of the week.
but shock thrashing and stacking are
not yet finished. In the Dakotas the
yield and quality are variable and gen
orally disappointing.

The Anti. Treating League.

The Supreme Anti Treating
League of America" has just filed ar
ticles of Incorporation with the Sec
retAry of the state of Indiana. The
home office of the association is at
Princeton. 1t is secret In character.
It's aim is to work toward the improve
ment of its members, to teach and en-.
courage thrift, to provide for lectures
and entertainments, and to aid its
members in sickness and distress. All
white men over sixteen that believe
In Supreme Being are eligible to
membership. The Fundamental
purpose is to ''create a sentiment
against the rapidly growing habit OF
treating" In our opinion such 90.
ciety will prove much more effective
than legal enactment. 1t is difficult
for law to say that man shall not
accept . treat or bestow one, but it Ia
easy for men to saw that they will do
neither Of these things. And associa.
tion will help greatly.

An Overworked Theory.

The germ theory has been over
worked and it is consequently losing
much of its vogue. When 1T first be-
came fashionable people were alarmed
at the threatening possibilities pre-
sentcd by this tale of swarming myri-
ads of micro organisms in the air, in
the earth and in everything that we
eat and drink.
As time wore on and the death rate
remained normal these apprehensive
people began to realize that though
bacteriOlOgy was a new thing the
germs themselves had existed from
time immemorial and that their seq
regatlon and classification under the
microscope did not make them any
more deadly. 1t also comes to be re-
a,ized that if all the claims OF the ex.
treme psychologists were well found
ed there would not be a human being
left alive within six months. In short
it became evident that the old condi-
tions remained despite the new theo-
rv consequently had kink in it some
where.

A High Fall tor Bourbons.

One OF the bitterstest disappoint.

taken the democrats of Missouri.
Their newspaper organs for two
months have been full of bliSsful an.
ticipations CT a dismal republican
failure to elect a senator. They fond
ly pictured to themselves that the re-
pubIicanS in the legislature would
throw away their majority and even
that democrat might be elected by
republican votes. I'VE told you 81, -
said the democratic chorus. "GIve the
republicans of this state a chance and
they can do nothing" Calculations of
a huge democratic majority hereafter
almost without opposition were tue
general democratic prophecy. An eag-
er expectancy stirred the Bourbon
lines. "They'e handing it to us on a
silver platter, was the gleeful saIu-
tation among democrats. why,
they're goin' to elect Cockrell for u.s."
How dreadful the thud when the sem
ator proved to be an old commander
OF the G. A. b.. republican from his
first vote, stalwart who never flick

In our American system of state
governments the Sheriff'S Office is
often a storm center. We have, as
scientists point out, centralized
legislatures and decentralized ADMIN
istrative systems. In other words.
our state legislatures can make laws
that apply to every county and town.
ship in the state, but the enforce
ment of those laws is for the most
part Intru,ted to effective state con
troll. In consequence sheriff hos.
tile to given law can. as far as his
county Is concerned, exercise very
effective veto on its enforcement.
Maine, which is having trouble
with the enforcement of its prohibi-
tion laws, has decided to put this To-
cal veto out of business. 1t has there
fore passed law creating a state
commission with the power to take
up Independently the work of local
officers who have shown themselves
friendly to the saloon. The immedi-
ate result is greatly increased ac-
tivlty on the part Of sheriffs who have
been too kind hearted IN the past.
The law in regard to gambling and
a score Of other laws are dead letter
in many localities. 1t should besome-
body's business to see that all laws are

Freedom OF Russian Women.

1t is difficult for an American TO un-
derStand that freedom, as We knowit
does not exist in Russia. There the
legal position of women is far from
satisfactory. She hardly evel belongs
to herself, but IS always under the
tutelage OF some one.
AS a daughter the Russian woman
is under the entire control of her par
ents. Her coming of age does not al
ter her position. She simply changes
the authority of her husband AS the
Russian statue puts l.: ''One person
cannot reasc nable be expected to full
ly satisfy two such unlimited powers
as that of husband and parent"
The unlimited power of the parent
is withdrawn, and that of the hus-
substituted, She cannot leave her
lord, even to visit a neighboring town
without a "pass" from him. He
names the time she is permitted to
stay, and at the end of that time she
is bound to return or to get the pass
renewed.
A husband may appear in court
of law as witness against his wife,
but a wife is not allowed to appear
against her husband. A woman's ey-
idence In Russia is always regarded as
of less weight than that of a man.

FISH COMMISSIONERS PLANS
Sweeney Will Place Fish Brooder Near
All Indiana Lakes.

An effort is being made by Game
and Fish commissioner Sweeney of
Columbus, to place fish brooders"
near every lake In Indiana and he is
now engaged in completing plaLs and
specifications for fish brOOder" at
Cedar Lake, Lake county says the
indianapolis Sentinel.
In explaining his plan Of work Mr..
Sweeney said Yesterday morning: The
fish propagating brooders-as 1 call
them-are a simple device from a
standpoint OF construction, but much
depends on the geographical surround
ings whether they are a success or
not. Last year 1 had one placed at
WawaSee Lake AMI in few months
l turned 200, 900 fine bass into the
lake. The work that | have In mind
is most important one from every
point OF view. The brooderS really
resemble little pen more than any,
thing else. A fine wire screen bound
the four sides and this is placed in
Shallowwater which should be of ev.
en- temperature.
Mr.. Sweeney left yesterday noon
on an inspection tour of some OF the
northern Indiana lakes.
