CHAPTER TX.


The girls in their gayest muslin
frocks, chaperoned by the more sedate
Mrs. Cartwright, arrived at the camp
at seven. A long table was spread un-
der the redwoods near the bank Of the
little river, In whose falls bottles lay
cooling. Give was the only other
guest. Mary Gordon had been asked,
but although she had accepted with
philosophy much that was Californian,
the informalities Of the Bohemian Club
were more than she could stand. Give
had been begged to go atone and to
stay as late as he liked.
Helena wore a pink muslin frock,
her hair In a loose braid. Her eyes
were dancing. She looked like a
naughty child and chartered clever
nonsense. apparently In the highest Of
spirits.
An impromptu band played softly
out of sight: one could hear the splash
ing of the river and the faint music of
the redwoods. Chinese lanterns. sus-

Mr.. Van Rhuys returned the next
morning. Helena and several of her
guests drove over to the hotel station

for some moments after their arrival
Helena sprang from the char-a-banc
and ran UP the hill to the Gordon cot

Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-Tele-

practical demonstration of how to
obtain accurate information by tele-
pathy concerninga husband 5 habits
and companions are expected to be
the leading attractions i'll the di-
vorce suit of Alice Downing against
Frank T. Downing.
Mrs. Downing, who is a Spirit
ualist, filed her suit for divorce
this morning just fifteen minutes
after her husband had filed a sim
liar suit against her. She said the
spirits informed her that he was
about to begin legal proceedings
and warned her to bring a coun-
ter suit Immediately, which she
did solely upon their recommended
ton.
Mrs. Downing is a good looking
woman of s. and until two months
ago lived with her husband at No.

The wife says the spirits have
shown Mr.. Downing to her in the
most unseemly places and society.
Indeed, they have been so brutally
frank with her that she does not
hesitate to make the statutory
charge against him. She Says she
always knew by courtesy of the
spirits whether her husband was

Samuel Greason, the negro, is TO
be hanged here on Thursday for
the murder of the husband, unless
the board of pardons intervenes, Is
in state of collapse. The taking
of her deposition for presentation

Greason's deposition was taken
during the day. 1t reviews his
life, protests his innocence and
asks for a full pardon.

THE recently organized truck
growers association can be made
the means of much good TO this
section. Every farmer and truck
grower in the Brownsville country
contiguous to this CITY, who has
not already done so, should become
a member of the association. In
union there is strength, and the
strength of this organization lies
in the membership working togeth-
or as a Harmonious whole TO serve
the best interests OF the truck bust
ness. The cost of becoming a
member is small, and will not
debar any one from membership.
OF course the association was or
gained for the benefits TO be deriv-
cd TO farmers and truck growers,
and no others will be admitted TO
membership. Truck growers, like
all successful businesses, must be
thoroughly organized to secure the
best results for their labors, and on
this depends in a great measure,
the successful disposition of crops.
In a community where every man
is for himself, dissatisfaction is al
ways rampant, and this can all be
avoided by a thoroughly organized
truck growers association, such as
that recently instituted in Browns
vile. THE HERALD calls OH all
who have not already done so, to
hand in applications for member
ship at once and get into harness.
Your efforts, supplemented by the
efforts of your neighbor and your
neighbours neighbour can not fail
to hear fruit, and rebound TO the
good of all concerned.

calling himself William Waldorf
Jackson Jr. of Lowell, Mass, call
cd at the home of Douglas Rob
inson, APP Madison avenue. where
President Roosevelt stopped for
the night and asked to have his
card sent TO the President.
The secret service men and pol
icemen on guard about the entrance
informed the man that the Presi-
dent had not yet arisen and asked
him to call again. He was not ar
rested, but went TO a hotel saying
he would return later to the Rob
inson home.
In answer TO questions as TO his
identity and why he wanted to see
the President, Jackson said he
wished 20 confer with the President
as to reforms in government and
that he YVES a stlf-nomiuated can
didate for the Presidency in 1896,

turned to the Robinson home a
second time in about an hour. He
went to the basement door and adj
dressed a detective who was sta
toned inside the twisted iron door.
Are you the President" he
said.
Yes, sir; good morning you,
replied the detective.
Well, you know / am William

After telling the old man that he
was very busy and that he would
prefer TO have him call tomorrow,

Jackson returned TO the sidewalk,
and after expressing his disappoint-
ment TO those standing near, he
walked slowly away.

The Religion of Togo.

Soon after the beginning Of the war between Russia and Japan, when the name of Admiral Togo came to be heard throughout the world, it was as- serted by the religious press of this country that the now famous sea cap tain was no ordinary heather, but a devout and consistent Christian. The story of his conversion and subsequent Christian life were related with cir cumstantiality and was never denied. The Associated Press of last Saturday described the visit of Togo to the great Ise temple to worship and give thanks to some god for his signal sue cesses. The great temple at Ise is not a Christian edifice. so it is not probable that Togo put in there to worship the God of the Christian. but rather one or more of the many Shin to gods or goddesses, most likely the great Amaterasu.
 In his message of congratulation to the emperor after the battle of the Sea of Japan, Togo thew out a hint in his allusion to the spirit of your ancestors" that he did not give full credit for the victory to our God of Battles, but that he rather inclined to those fighting gods who have stood by Japan throughout it's previous warlike history

SCHOOL TEACHERS WANTED
Arizona's Rising Generation Hungry
 for Knowledge.

It is too bad that scores of free born
 .merican children in this territory are piniug for Knowledge and can't get it by reason of a dearth of school teach CTS. If the strenuous situation isn't relic, ed the government will have to be asked to send a carload of school ma'rns out this way as it did to the Philippines for surely the little white chile en are as good as the Filipinos as long as they behave themselves.
 County School Superintendent Full ton receives frequent inquiries from school trustees in outlying points pleading with him to send them school teachers and he hasn't a good one left in stock. Yesterday he received two letters. One came from Congress and said: ''If there is an unemployed teacher in Maricopa county please have ne or she apply to the trustees of the Congress school at once. The other was from Mrs. A. NJ. Dyer, superin- tendent of the Douglas schools, who writes that she wants a good first grade teacher at a salary Of $75 per month. One month of the school year is gone but there will probably be eight months more of school. Douglas is a big, growing town and this ought to be a good opportunity for some ambi- tioUs teacher.
 But there are others who nave trou- bles beside Superintendent Fulton.

GROWING UP

There's something the mat ter with the child that fails to grow up. A child that grows up too much, however, without proper filling out of flesh, is almost as badly off. Nothing will help these pale, thin weedy" children like Scott's Emulsion. It supplies the rounding out of flesh and the rich inward nourishment of blood and vital organs which insures rapid growth a healthy and uniform develop ment.

The arrest of another Peoria Qlls0 banker who was also connected with the school board, for not preventing Superintendent Dougherty from steal ing the school monies shows a most intricate relation between the cduca- tionaI fund and MT. Dougherty's bank, and also between his bank and at least two other banks. Is it not possible that this relation finally reached such a degree of intricacy that Dougherty can not be blamed for being unable to distinguish the money for the schools from his own?

The accident on the Cunarder Cam pania by which five lives were lost and thirty persons injured was slight break in a most extraordinary record. In the last half century no serious ac- cident has overtaken the Cunard line vessels or passengers. Its record for safety gave it until comparatively recently almost monopoly of the passenger carrying business. Pop ular faith in the Cunarders nearly grew to be a superstition. In late years other lines with vessels as safe, speed fer and more magnificent have been established. but with the average ocean going person with normal fear of the sea, they have not yet come into full competition with the Cunard steamships.
