At 10 o'clock DR.. Morton knocked on
the door Of the cottage where the VII

THE only fortunate thing | can see
about the whole affair, Miss Gregory,
is that today is Saturday and you are
at liberty to take time to discuss the
problem with me- he said disconso-
lately
Mary Gregory's quiet little smile al
ways had a soothing effect upon the
doctors nerves.

Miss Mary's quiet little smile peeped
around the corners of her mouth

"Well, be must have er some

| look helpless. saThe old colored woman
that keeps house for me could look
after his bodily comfort, but I don't

had evidently become overwhelming.

muddled doctor.

ed, surveying the list which had al
most reached the page limit
The doctor gasped. II can't read
fairy tales to five-year-old children. I'd
feel foolish" He lost his distracted
look and ran his fingers through his
grazing hair.
"But you know you are family
man now" she reminded, with little
murmur of irrepressible enjoyment
"You must expect to meet with new
difficulties. wouldn't let few fairy
tales bother me-" Her eyes twinkled
at him in gentle badgery.
"Give me that list" he suddenly de-
manded, taking the paper and pencil
from her. You've left off one of tho
most important items. There's some

scrubbed 1t down hastily.

startled eyes.
Don't you think he ought to have a
mother?" he asked insistently.

fell unnoticed to the floor.
II seem to be developing a regular
mania for being family man." he
said enthusiastically, land you know
you could read fairy tales better than
I could. Won't you be part Of my fam

hope.
The little smile around the corners of
her mouth was more expressive than
ever.

said joyfully land then we will have

Topeka, March 6.-The effect oiths
antitrust legislation enacted this

fixing maximum freight rates for the
transportation OF oil went into effect
a week ago and the Webster Refinery
company Of Humbolt clipped the

which was read in both houses. The
telegram sets forth the fact that the
first car load of oil under the new

the freight charges we're only $27.
Under the old system the freight
rate would have been $7S az car. MIR.

JOHN n. REAGAN IS DEAD.
The End to the Survivor Of the
Confederate Cabinet"

Houston, Tex, March 6.-Judge
John H. Reagan, sole surviving mem.
her OF the Confederate cabinet, died
to-day IN Palestine, Tex, OF pneu-
monia. Judge Reagan, who was sc
years old, had beeu in failing health
for year or more.
John II, Reagan had outlived by
many years all the other members OF
the Confederate cabinet. Mallory
was the first OF them to 20 and Mem.
minger was the last. Mallory died
in 1873, Memminger In 1888. That
short period Of years saw the deaths
Of Stephens, Toombs, Benjamin,
Walker, Hunter and Mallory and
Memminger, all members OF the pro
visional government.
The life OF Reagan was perhaps the
most satisfactory Of those OF any Of
these men. The downfall OF the Con.
iederacy interposed only a tempo
rary barrier to the advancement oil
his career. As statesman under
the union he achieved as great sue
cess as was promised him under the
government he sought to foster In
the Southern states. Benjamin was
the only other exception 10 the rule
Of retirement that governed the i'm
pulses Of these men. and his career
was carried on in an adopted coun'
try and among strange people.
