1--WE cannot spare It, At the corner
we will find a carriage-by that time
me may expect to be hammering at
the door of M. Girard's Retreat, and
demanding admittance. We will not
wait-the time is too valuable"
They all hurry down the street
toward the corner Of the Champs
Elysees, where, as Dick has declared,
they find carriage. The Frenchman
has evidently been quite taken with
Dicks positive ways. for he can be
heard exclaiming, as he follows close
behind
"Mon Dieu! | love man of ac-
ton, who grapples with difficulty by
the horns as if it were a mad bull
that is Francois, Number Eleven
Now, having arrived at the corner.
Dick glances up and down the great
horoughfare-makes a peculiar signal
with his arm, and in five seconds, as
it were, an empty carriage draws up
at the curb, in which they all proceed

mods and grins as if amused.
They are off.
Colonel Bob, as usual has had his
eyes about him, and it is seldom this
man from Secora county gets left.

what you told our driver that appear

The secret agent chuckles.

messieurs."
"And / warrant it had some con-
nection with me, for the fellow actu-
ally looked sorry when he caught my
eye-confess, Francois"
Il will have to- allayed suspicion
by telling the garcon that my friend
and l were conveying a wretched hus-
band, who tried to chop his wife to
pieces in his madness, to the Retreat
of M. Girard," with mock bow to-
ward Colonel Bob, who roars aloud at
the intelligence, and takes 1t all so
good-naturedly that he quite wins the
others heart.
Gentlemen, you did not answer my
question about arms" says the secret
agent, whereupon they unload. Dick
carries a revolver, whenever he be-
lieves the regulations of the country
he is in allow it, while Colonel Bob
would just as soon think of going
without his head as unarmed.
The latter individual lays a Zero.
cious-looking six-shooter on the seat
beside M. Francois, and then pro.
ceeds to draw regular bowie-knife
from the back of his coat.
Mon Dieu!" exclaims the French
man, aghast, and when he sees the
bold sheriff from Secora county bring
a second knife into view from one OF
his bootlegs, he drops back in his seat
What dye think now, my friend?"
demands Bob with triumph In his
voice. I'VE may surprise M. Girard.
eh?"
"Ciel! we will paralyze him!"
The carriage is making good time
while they thus converse, and grad
ually drawing nearer the vicinity OF
the famous cemetery Pere la Chaise,
and the gloomy prison that stands
near the foot of the bill Charonne, so
that those confined here can look out
upon the cheerful landscape of white |
stones and crosses amid the green
sward In front of La Roquette stood
the guillotine that was so busy dur
ing the reign of the Commune in IL
when the Seine ran red with blood.

Francois, as they whirl around a cor
ner, and he thrusts his head out to
discover their whereabouts.

right to, and now demands, a law
under which he can make intelligent

Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
islatures; many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionable.
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right to fix food standards" to define
what the people shall and shall not eat.
for what agrees with one may not
agree with another, and such act would
deprive the common citizen Of his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co., Ltd, perhaps the largest makers
Of prepared foods in the world, have
naturally a close knowledge of the
needs Of the people and the details OF
the. business of the purveyors (the re-
tail grocer, and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared bill for submits
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as a citizen Of the u. S. has
right to food protection even when he
enters another State, 1t is deemed
proper that the govt take control OF
this matter and provide national
law to govern all the states. A copy
of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec / governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose printed copy Of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement Of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee of his selling the food as it
is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility OF the
truth Of the statement and throws 1t
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, for eX-
ample, have from the beginning OF its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact state
ment Of what the contents were made
of in order that the consumer might
know precisely what he or she was
eating. A person desiring to buy, for
instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and
willing to- pay the price has right to
expect not only an equivalent for the
cost, but further right to certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will
ing to buy at less cost jelly made
part Of fruit juices, sugar and por-
ton of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful information of the
ingredients and be permitted to use
his personal liberty to select his own

AGAINST ROOSEVELT

Chicago, June 1.-THE political des-
truction of President Roosevelt and all
who acknowledge allisne with him in
his fight on the packers is the plan of
the millionaire proprietors of Ameri-
cas- meat industry. AS soon as j. Og-
den Armour returns from Europe the
heads of the Zig concerns will meet
aud arrange plan of action. 1t con-
templates the enlistment of all trust 8
and corporations at whom the admin
STATIONS guns have been aimed. With
the powerful organization of millions
invested in big industries the captains
OF finance will endeavor to capture the
machinery of whichever of the two big
partles may be most effectively util-
i2ed. According to leading lawyer
lor the packers, who was engaged in
thelr defense in tho recent trial before
Judge Humphrey, the great capitalists
OF this country realize that Roosevelt
is no longer tt be trusted to renresent
their interests. Lately he has shown
tendencies that are dangerously social.
istic, they aver, and has, they saw.
demonstrated the danger to corporate
interests of electing man of radical
mind to the presidency.
This lawyer, who is the recognized
spokesman for the packers, but who
refuses to permit the use Of his name
for political reasons, says:
President Roosevelt has done all he
can to ruin the great financial interests
of this country. He has bounded the
coal mine owners, prosecuted the rail-
roads and pursued the packers with
luminosity due to apparent enmity en-
gendered by defeat in the business
wheu be tried to become a packer.
He has loaned himself to the practical
destruction of insurance companies,
and III other ways demonstrated his
untitness. This last move means that
live stock raisers, western farmers aud
packers will unite against him, for the
drag on expectation of Americas for
eign meat trade will hurt the farmers
rs badly asst does the packers. With
this nucleus will begin the operation
of an irresistible force in politics
which shall defeat all radicals who
play to the galleries at the expense of
capital.
1T is certain that if Roosevelt re-
mains leader Of the rebuiican party
ibg capitalists will be afraid to make
contributions to the campaign fund.
If if becomes necessary to abandon the
republican party, democratic leaders
are always ready to adopt reasonable
measures.

SPOKANE'S THEATERS
IA Message From Mars"

Oftentimes some of the most con-
vincing truths are most forciDly placed
before the mind in plays pres lted
upon the stage. The greater the truth
the more convincing is the play. The
great comedy, "A Message from Mars"
win David Proctor as the star, w!l be
seen at Spokane in the Spokane thea
ire two night9, Friday and Saturday,
June 18th and 10th. One Of the many
virtues this comedy is said to pos
sess is, that it deals with the truth.
Mark Twain claims that nothing can
be funnier than the honest truth 1t
is, as he says, so unexpected. "a Mes
sage from Mars" has the reputation of
being one of the most cleverly CON
structed comedies that has ever been
given to the STAGE The great truth
brought out in this play is in fact
sermon delivered in opposition to cx-
IRENE selfshness,
