SoPhy began to laugh and the General joined in
heartily.
Well that's settled, said he You make three
or four appearances at court, and nothing more viii
be necessary. | hope YOU like Your appointment"
Sophv laughed delightedly. Its charming and
very amusing she said u am becoming interested
your country, General.
MY country is returning your kind compl-
ment, can assure YOU, he replied HIS tone had
grown dry and he seemed to be watching her now.
She waved her hands toward the Virgin with the
lamp: the massive figure stood in its old place by
the window. What lot owe to her!' she cried
We all owe much " said StenOVICS.
The Prince thought some people might be angry
with me because Captain Misttch a favorite.'
Very possible, I'm afraid, very possible. But
in this world we must do our duty and
Risk the consequences! Yes.

But YOU mean in effect: Well, I'm not ashamed.
Surely they deserve death?
"Undoubtedy-if If Rastatz is wrong and your
memory right"
The Princes own storv?"
He isn't committed TO any story yet"
Sophy rested her chin on her hand and regarded
her companion closely
He did not avoid her glance. You re wonder
ing what mean. What m alter! he asked her,
smiling quietly. oh, yes, l see YOU are Go on
wondering thinking, watching things about YOU tor
a day or two-there are three days between
and Saturday. You'll see me again before Satur-
dav-and We doubt YOU Il see the Prince.
If Rastatz were right and my memory wrOng:"
He smiled still The of1ense against discipline
would be so much less serious. The Prince is
disciphnarian. To speak with all respect he for
gets sometimes that discipline is, in the end, only
a part OF policy-a means, not an end. The end
is always the safety and tranquility of the State
He spoke with Wcighty emphasis
The ofense against discipline! An attempt to

and bowed. Much may happen between now and
Saturday. Look about YOU, watch and think!
The Generals final injunction, at least SOphy
lost time in obeyng and on the slightest thought
three things obvious. The King deeply
grateful to her. Stenovics wished, at any rate to
appear grateful to her And for some reason or
another, StenOVics wished her memory TO be
wrong to the end that the life of Mistitch and his
companion (the greater included the less) might be
spared. Why did he wish that Presumably-hs
words about the relation of discipline to policy
supported the concusion-to avoid that disturb
which the Prince had forecasted as the result
OF Nistitch s being put to death.
But the Prince not afraid of the disturbance
Why should Stenovics be? The Commandant was

Weather=Crop Bulletin
Des Moines, Sept. 10, '06.-

Des Moines, Sept. 10, '06.-
Abnormally high tempera
lures were registered at all
stations during the latter
part of the week ending on the
morning of the 10th. At the
central station the average
daily excess was 6.3 degrees,
which was about the average
excess in the central and west
ern districts. Light local
showers were reported at Grin
nell, Dubuque and Keosauqus.
but in the larger part of the
state the week was practically
rainless. The corn crop has
made very rapid advancement
toward maturity, and reports
indicate that more than half
the crop is now in fit condition
to be cut and put in shock or
silo. This work is now in pro-
gress on the best class Of farms
where the fodder is utilized.
With a continuance Of these
favorable conditions the bulk
of the corn crop will be practic-
ally safe by the 25th; though
as a rule in this latitude it is
always desirable to have a
frostless September to bring to
n aturity the belated colnfields
in all parts of the state. 10
ltlle northern section the soil is
Sufficiently moist, but in the
central and southern section
c opious showers are needed to
facilitate fall plowing and re-
v;ve the pastures. Reports are
quite variable asto the probable
yield Of the potato crop, on ac-
count of local differences in the
amount of rainfall in the cilti-
cal stage of growth.

Millions for Education

In no other country in the
world is so much money spent
for education. a 1t is impossible
to say how great the sum is,
for one cannot go into the
books of the numerous private
schools. The report of the
United States Commissioner of
Education, recently issued,
which contains the statistics
for the year ended June 30,
1904, shows that in that year
$273, 3,2l6,227 was spent simply
on the public schools of the
country. Of this total $40, ,453,-
2S9 went for sites, buildings,
furniture, ETC., $167, ,824,753 for
salaries of teachers and super
intendents and $55. 1888, ,2O5 for
other purposes, chiefly main
tainance. The total income of
the colleges was S4O,329, 1913,
while from benefactions was
received Sl3, 70O,559 more.
The value of college property
was set at S465, 5,216,545, an in
crease of almost $33, 100000 in
one year. The total attend
ance in all kinds of educational
institutions that year was 49,
589,991, or more than one-ffth
of the entire population. Of
these 16, ,279, ,443 were in schools
supported by taxation and pub
lie funds, while those in private
institutions numbered 1,517,-
449. There were in this coun-
try 607 universities, colleges
and technogical schools, with a
teaching staff of 1850 and
118,O29 students. More than
1l3, 900 of these were in the
colleges. There were l,60G
private schools of the second
ary grade. New York Tribune.

rather suppose the Cuban ar.

stead of remaining passive in
the barracks. With the revo-
luton in Cuba and the mutter-
