path between the rows Of laurel trees,
his broad shoulders stifi1y erect, his
head very high and his faith in women
badly shaken.
Before he had reached the street he
was telling himself he was many In
conceivable kinds Of an ass, and
vague desire to go back to her took
possession Of him, but this course was
out Of the question, and he strobe sui
lenly up the street, bolstering ND his
pride with such snatches of the con-
versation as he could remember.
Miss Sterling, standing, white and
shaking. by the veranda rail, watched
him go down the path. She was well
aware that Frost was the sort of man
who lived up to his word. She had
premonition that If he left In this way
it would be forever. She gripped the
rail. and her breath came fast. Some
thing like a panic must have seized
her, for when he was far down the
path she called: "Sidl Oh, Sidp' But
In such weak voice, which her pride
was striving nightly to suppress al
together, that Frost did not hear 1t
and kept on his way without SO much
as turning his head.
Even when he reached the street and
was lost to sight behind the high hedge
she still stood there by the rail. She
was angry with Frost for going away
and angry with herself for sending
him.
She sank into a wicker chair and
stared helplessly at the lake, which
shimmered In the heat. There was a
suspicious blur before her eyes. This
would never do, she told herself. What
she needed was action. She rose with
a view Of seeking the links and playing
twice around the course. She was
halfway down the path when she saw

Higgins made his way to the stable,

later the trap was at the door.
Miss Sterling climbed in and took the
reins. Higgins let go the cob's head

The Benefits OF sugar.

A correspondent remarks that sugar
has modified the history Of Europe and
Of the world In more ways than one.
Used in England four centuries ago
almost exclusively in the preparation
Of medicines and long afterward an
article of luxury only accessible to the
rich, it has by enlarged production and
cheapened manufacture been brought
within the reach Of all. The universal
use Of this practically pure carbohy-
drate, which is not only freely burn
ing fuel and proteid sparer, but mus
Gle food, increasing the power of doing
work and lessening fatigue, must have
had widespread and beneficial effects
on the national health. Especially in
the case of children, whose greed Of
sugar is the expression of physiolog-
ical want, has that food been valuable
in conducting to growth, contentment
and well being.-St. James Gazette.

We all can measure the outward tri-

Something Wanted.

A bachelor, old and cranky. was sit
ting alone in his room. His toes with
the govt were aching. and his face was
oerspread with gloom, no little ones
shouts to disturb him-from noises the
house was free. In fact, from cellar
to attic twas as still as still could be.
No medical aid was lacking; his serv-
ants answered his ring, respectfully
answered his orders and supplied him
with everything. But still there was
something wanted, which he could not
command-the kindly words of COM
passion, the touch of a gentle hand.
And he said. as his brow grew darker
and he rang for the hireling nurse,
"Well, marriage may be a failure, but
this is jolly sight worse"

CONSTITUTIONS WARNING

Qrhs aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can Be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
QThere 10 no disease known that gives so
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
If the medicine used is DIR. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
GIT is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent expectoration.
QBut no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect a curs-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Putting food into diseased stomach is
like putting money into pocket with
holes. The money is lost. All it's value
goes for nothing. When the stomach is
diseased, with the allied organs of diges-
ton and nutrition, the food which is put
into it is largely lost. The nutriment is
not extracted from it, The body is weak
and the blood impoverished.
The pocket can be mended The stom-
ach can be cured. That sterling medicine
for the stomach and blood, Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, acts with
peculiar promptness and power on the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t is
a positive cure for almost all disorders of
these organs, and cures also such diseases
of the heart, blood, liver and other organs,
as have their cause in weak or diseased
condition of the stomach

GENERAL CROP OUTLOOK.
Summary Of Conditions in the Agri.
cultural States.

CULTURAL 0IdSeSs
Washington, May 9.-The' weekly
weather bureau crop summary says:
Generally thruout the central and
southern Rocky Mountain district, Da-
kotas and Minnesota the week ending
May 8, was absolutely cool and moist.
Freezing temperatures extended south
ward to the central portion OF Arizona
and New Mexica, with frost and snow
in the central and northern Rocky
Mountain regions and upper Missouri
and Red river of the north valleys.
Excessive rains hindered the work Of
the central Mississippi valley, Min
nesota, Dakotas and middle Rocky
Mountain region. Drought continues
in a portion Of Kansas. Heavy rains
prevented rapid progress of corn in a
MAlge portion of Missouri, Indiana
and Illinois, but elsewhere the work
advanced satisfactorily, and planting
was begun as far north as the southern
portions OF South Dakota, Minnesota,
wisconsin and Michigan.
Winter wheat Is now heading as far
north as the southern portions of KAN
sas and Missouri. The general condi-
ton of this crop continues highly fa-
vorable in states east of the Rocky
Mountains. Weather conditions the
past week were not SO favorable for
completion of wheat seeding over the
northern portions Of North Dakota and
Minnesota and early spring wheat over
the central portion Of the spring wheat
region. and in Iowa, making only fair
progress. In Nebraska and Colorado
the crop is promising. Reports from
Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa indicate
the oats crop Of these states is in fair
condition only. Seeding continues in
North Dakota.

MiIwaukoena Makes Statement Be-
fore Senate Commerce Committee.

Washington, May 9.-E. P. Bacon of
Milwaukee, who represents many
commercial bodies in favor of legisla-
ton giving the interstate commerce
commission power to fix rates, APP
peared before the senate interstate
commerce committee yesterday. Mr..
Bacon said that persons suffering from
excessive rates were, under the Elkins
act, prohibited from securing redress.
1t was impossible for the commission
to fix rates in the whole country, he
declared. but the commission should
be empowered to order unjust rates
changed. In the last five years. he
said, there had been changes in class
ification resulting in an advance of 81
per cent in rates.
Oliver l.. Garrison Of st. Louis,
chairman of the Illinois Coal Opera
tors Association, said the present rate
situation was satisfactory. Rates were
gradually being reduced.
/. M. Bean of Milwaukee, president
of the Northwestern Iron Company,
opposed giving the commission powers
to fix rates If 1t meant distance
rate.

fore official action should be taken by
the board.
Charles Stewart Smith was made
chairman of the conference.
1t was unanimously decided that 1t
would be unwise for the adoption of
any resolutions before the report of
the investigation committee. The
only affirmative action taken was that
the board should be called together
not later than the 31st of the month
and upon ample notice, so that direc-
tors from a distance could arrange
their affairs to be present.
Concerning the absence Of Chair
man I'rick, a director said that Mr..
Frick had sent word thru Mr. Harri-
man that he was i'm sympathy with the
effort of the conference, but felt be-
cause of his position of chairman OF
the investigation committee it might
be indelicate for him to attend.
Mr.. F'rick also sent word to the
that the report of his COM
mittee would be submitted to the
directors not later than the last of
this month.
