D0RICS OWNERS WOULD SAVE VESSEL FROM CAPTURE
STEAMSHIP WILL CALL AT MIDWAY ISLAND FOR ORDERS

Fear Of Russian interference with
contraband laden steamships bound for
japanese ports is again beginning to
affect shippers and shipowners at this
port, and Captain Smith of the steam
ship Dorie, which sails to-day for
Japan, has received orders TO go from
here direct to Midway and there await
instructions. II was intended that the
Doric should go from here direct to
Yokohama. The possibility of Russian
naval success has caused a change Of
plan, as the Doric's hold con-
tains enough contraband of war
10 damn her in short order should
the ships of the Car overhaul
her. So from here she viii steam
with al speed TO the midocean cable
station. BY the time she reaches Mid
way, it is expected, the naval situation
viii be clearer than it is now. and the
Doric's subsequent movements will be
directed accordingly.
The Dcric's cargo of $500 tons includes
large shipment Of mess beef for
Japan, about 800 tons of leather and
some machinery.
She viii carry about 50 cabin pas
. .sengers, 100 Chinese and 80 Japanese.
Among the cabin passengers will be
several tea buyers from the East and
Europe. Louis Eppinger, proprietor Of
the Grand Hotel at Yokohama, is re-
turning TO Japan on the liner. Among
the passengers for Manila, at which
port the Doric viii call, is Miss Ruth
Swain Of Usage, Iowa, who goes to the
Philippines 10 become the wife of an
insular government empIoye.

If HE COULD

T was the opening day of the session, when
everyone was at his Sunday best. The
Senator, who always wears short coat and
carries his right hand in his trousers pocket,
with his left ready to emphasize his words
by shaking his forehnger, leaned against the
cloak-room door, meditatively rolling cigar
between his lips.
One of the three best-dressed men in the
Senate approached. The forefnger rose, and
the Senator remarked: 81 have friend who
would give you a hundred dollars for that vest,
if he could only set eyes on it.
"Take me to him at once" said the other.
"He shall set eyes on it forthwith and have it
C. o. d.
81 wish he could said the Senator sadly;
"but he's been stone-blind for twenty years"
THE GREATEST GENERAL
A N old Confederate and a descendant of
"A Israel one day were discussing who
was the greatest military leader the world
ever produced. The Southerner stood out for
Stonewall Jackson, while the lsraelite upset
all precedent by claiming the honors of war
for Moses.
"Moses?" cried the hero of Bull Run in
credulously. "Why, he was no soldier; he
was only lawgiver."
Eyes, but he was great general too" in
sisted the other. Didn't he lead the armies
of Israel through the wilderness for forty
years."
"Oh, as for that" retorted the Confederate,
"StonewalI Jackson could beat him all to
pieces; he led his army through the wilderness
in three days"

plete. Self-accused, the son was like
wise an accuser. His bitter words of
reproach sank deeply in.
Added to the shame and disgrace of it
all was the thought that mere outsiders,
friends, could be expected to do so much
for a man who had made his mistakes,
while his father was only to be dreaded,
rather than approached, for a helpful
word, or token of kindness. This cut
the proud old soldier to the quick. That
Wooster could so have borne the shame
of his false position, for the sake of
Aileen; that Ai1een herself, and Nelson
as well, could shield the brother and friend
at such a cost to themselves, while he
he, the father-he alone of all was the
one to be Stunned and feared-this truth
came home with a force that stunned and
staggered his nature. But worse than
all were the words his son had spoken:
81 meant to shoot myself" This had
fallen on the Majors heart with fearful
weight that rendered him positively i'll.
The bare thought of such a disgrace, for
a pa1try sum of money, nearly drove him
insane.
Yet the habit of years could not sur
render at once. There was no softness
in him, for his thoughts were all desper-
ate, all disturbing. He rose and looked at
Frank piercingly. "You!" he said.
a." said his son.
why the blazes couldn't you or Aileen
have come to me?" he demanded, TN
able quickly to gather his faculties for a
partial capitulation from his harsh posi-
ton of moment before. why didn't
you come to me?"
"Nelson was far more sure to help both
Aileen and me-" said Frank.
"By George! Nelson! Nelsonl"
broke out the Major. you might have
given me the chancel I'm your father!
I've got the right to help my son!
deserved as much consideration as you
did YOURSELF You had no business to
be gambling! To take your mothers
diamonds, in such way as thatl And
those papersl" he cried, as he suddenly
remembered the missing envelop, that
meant far more than the jewels might
have done. WAS it you who took those
papers?"
II had no use for the package" an
swered Frank, again in his dull, hopeless
manner, and he drew from his pocket an
enve1op still sealed and unbroken. "This
fell on the floor from the drawer when
I took the necklace. l dropped it into
my pocket, and forgot all about it.
haven't opened the envelop," and he
tossed it on the table, where his father
instantly caught it up in his trembling
hands. NOW that you've got it,
Frank concluded, 81 hope Nelson is
cleared That is all l care for now"
As his father quickly scanned the pack
age, Frank edged quietly toward the
smaller table, on which his revolver was
lying as Wooster had placed it. He was
making a swift movement to snatch it
in his hand, when Nelson suddenly di-
vined his intention.
With one bound Wooster was upon
him. But Frank had caught up the
weapon.
Grasping his wrist as best he might,
Nelson wrenched with all his might to
divert the pistols muzzle from Franklin's
head Prank" he cried. Prank"
Let go, Nel-let go!" answered the
other.
But with no breath left to waste on
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-07-09


Back against the wall they staggered.
With the fearful strength of desperation
Frank was almost too much for the friend
who fought to save his life. Once, twice,
three times, the pistols muzzle drew to-
ward the white temple, knotted now with
swelling veins. Once and again Nelson
pressed it back fercely. The third time
all his strength appeared to be unavail-
ing. The bullet, it seemed, must claim
victim, either himself or Franklin,
despite his utmost endeavors.
Suddenly releasing his grasp, Nelson
struck his friend a jolting blow on the
point of the chin. The pistol fell to the
floor
A deafening roar in his ears and a
binding flash in his eyes nearly blotted
out Wooster's senses; but the ball had
lodged only in the ceiling, even as Frank
went down from the shock of the blow
on his jaw
Major Van Twil1er had been all but
petrifed at beholding Franks attempt
at self-destruction. A horror and weak
ness such as never had come upon him
in all his life possessed him absolutely.
No sooner had the struggle practically
ended than the old man fell upon his
knees beside his son, from whose relaxing
grasp Wooster had wrenched the smoking
weapon.
Oh, Frank, Frank, Frank" cried the
father in voice painfully broken by sob
bling. For Gods sake, my boy! do
you wish to kill me with a broken
hearth"
When he heard word of tenderness
from a source SO unexpected the boy in
Franklin almost capitulated. He lay
there painting and hiding his face with
his arm. But he had come to the point
where he could bear no more of reproach,
no more of establishment.
&C. think-we'd both be-so much more
comfortablel" he faltered
A knife-stab would have hurt the
father less. A hundred scenes of his
harshness in the past futtered across
his vision accusingly. A crazed, belated
impulse to erase them, to win back the
all he had lost in years gone by, surged
upon his heart and quelled all else within
him. More than anything in the world,
at this moment, he wished to make
amends for those many errors that had
widened the chasm between himself and
the son he really loved.
He could scarcely speak when he
wished to reply. Had fifteen years of
age abruptly fallen like mantle upon
him he hardly could have seemed more
altered. Trembling with the fear that
all was now too late, he caught Franks
hand in his own and held it desperately.
A realization of the truth in all his sons
recent accusations spared him nothing
of pain. The soldier in him, stern and
unrelenting had sickened. The parent
in him yearned to be loved and trusted.
A revelation of the beauty of the friend
ship, such as he knew must exist between
his son and Wooster, broke strangely on
his senses and gave him a feeling of
deso1ation that he found insuppc-table.
Frank" he said brokenly, in voice
that revealed so much to his well-nigh
father1ess son, Frank-my boy-come
home--come home, to your mother
and mel"
Frank could make no answer. Blindly
he responded to the clasp of his fathers
hand and their fingers locked in a strange

CHAPTER x.

IN his study that evening Major Van
| Twiller was kneeling before the
blazing CRATE, carefully burning every
scrap of that letter for which he had gone
to Nelson Wooster's apartments in the
afternoon. From the flames one piece
was staring at him, even as it shriveled
to ashes. He could read the words:

A Gift and the Giver
By Henry d. Muir

Blue flag flowers of June
And sweet roses wild,
All plucked by a child,
All gathered for me
Through the radiant noon,
When bobolink's tune
Rings richest in glee,
And he swings on his tree
Merrily.
Flag lilies are fair,
And fair the sweet roses;
But fairer than posies
New gathered for me
And oh, sadder to spare
Than bobolink's air
A child, down the lea.
Singing, sprite-like, sprite-free,
Merrily.

=Hlch Butter AVERAGE.

We notice in a dairy exchfAge g.
statement to the effect that the aver
age production of butter per COW in
Holland last year was 400 pounds. The
statement may be correct and it may
not. We cannct help feeling that it
is q little too high to figure as an
average. The average production OF
butter by the cows of any country is
generally very far below good aver
age. Cows that will produce butter
fat to make 400 pounds of butter per
year are very scarce in this country
and We assume they are somewhat
scarce in every country.
There is no doubt that the butter
average will some day be brought up
to that point. 1t is a standard worth
working for, and the nation that can
attain it will be rich. By dropping
out the poor COWS and getting better
ones constantly, the average will in
time be brought up to point where
dairying will be profitable both for
the individual dairyman and for the
nation.
As the world advances in eiviliza-
ton more products of the dairy COW
will be used. The demand for cream
is greatly ON the increase in our west
ern cities and the dairymen that have
a good cream trade ind it far more
profitable TO sell their butter fat in
that way than in any other This is
an inducement to raise the standard
Of production.
The man that gets down to the
point of finding dut what the average
production of his dairy COWS is takes
the first steps TO increase that aver
age. He can mark this COW and that
COW for the slaughter as soon as her
milk yield reaches the point in its
decline where cost and receipts are
! approximately the same. There are
good COWS being Slaughtered annually
and these should be saRsd alnd added
! to our dairy herds.

A Good ExamnIe.

The protection of the milk supplies
aof cities naturally comes under the
control of the board OF health, but
few of the men composing city boards
of health take the trouble to inform
themselves OF the real conditions sur
rounding the production of clean and
dirty milk. The example of one
Canadian city is worth following. The
city OF Ottawa sent its milk Inspector
to the Ontario agricultural sehool
at Guelph to take course in
the production and care of milk. This
is certainly step in the right direc-
'tion. An inspector so informed is
worth more than half q dozen men
who do not know what are the best
ways of handling this important food
product.

Food Value cf EGGS.

Eggs consist of proteine, End fat,
water and mineral matter. 1t is the
proteine, ,9r u5rogenous matter, that
builds up and repairs the tissues OF
the body. while the fat supplies en-
ergy. The white of an egg is often
said to be prre albumen, but it also
contains phosphoric acid and sodium
chloride or common salt. The yolk
contains the fatty part of the egg,
phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, pos
tassium and iron. Eggs also contain
sulphur, and this probably accounts
for the dark stain left by an egg on
silver, the sulphur coming in contact
with the silver forming silver sui
