all she could say. Then in dumb
founded manner she walked from the
room.
SIS she right in her mind, do you

"Oh, l don't know, don't know"
said Constance, taking a chair at the
window, in distressed tone. Il feel
as if we were all demented.

He listened intently, with the look

For answer Constance went into the
adjoining room and brought small
mirror to him. He took it and held it
before him.
A cry broke from his lips.
Bring me another" he said; this
is good for nothing"
Obediently she went into Mrs. Fry's
bedroom and brought him another,
larger and better.

Strange things have happened since

SADDLING THE PROFESSOR.
Gift to Dean Carlyle Of the AgricuI
tural COLLEGE.

A Republican special from Fort Col
Inns says: The students and faculty of
the Agricultural college were treated
to an unusual sight Friday morning
when Dean w. j. Carlyle's saddle
horse was led into the college chapel
with silver-mounted English riding
saddle on its back. Glenn Bishop pre-
sented the saddle to Dean Carlyle in
behalf of the Agricultural college
students as an appreciation of his
faithful services to the college and as
a token of the best wishes of faculty
and students for successful European
trip.
Students often play horse" but this
was the first visit of a real horse to
chapel and the incident was the occa-
sion of wild applause from the assem-
bled students.
Professor Carlyle thanked the stud,
ents for their gift and then outlined
the itinerary of his trip. He is the ex-
pert in charge Of the United States
government horse-breeding expert
ment at Fort Collins and goes to Eu-
rope as the special agent of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture to study the meth.
DDS and principles of horse breeding
practiced in the old world The OBJ.
ject of the trip is to acquire infor1aa-
ton that will be of benefit to the ex-
periments being carried on at Fort
Collins.
Professor Carlyle will leave Denver
Saturday and expects to reach Paris
June 9th, where he will visit the Inter
national horse show of France. Thence
he will visit the National show of Bel
GUM and reach London in time for the
famous Royal show of England. The
trip will cover four months. The last
portion of it will take in the horse
breeding sections of Austria and Rus

Control of Colonies.

In Germany the minister of foreign
Affairs directs the government of the
colonies of the empire as well as deals
with Its relations to other countries.
Because of the increasing Importance
Of the colonies, German statesmen are
discussing the need of dividing the ed
partment and creating a new member
of tho cabinet to be known as the CO.
lonial secretary. The British did this
years ago, says Youths Companion,
and they have secretary Of state for
foreign affairs. The United States has
not had foreign dependencies long
enough to evolve any plan for their
management. The Philippine islands
and Porto Rico were acquired by con-
quest, treaty and purchase. and began
their relations to this country with
the secretary of war as the cabinet Of
icer Immediately responsible for their
government. He has remained in
charge Of them because no one has
thought OF better way for supervis-
Ing their affairs.

MICHIGAN FOREST FIRE.
Millions of Dollars Worth Of Property
Destroyed.

Milwaukee.-A dispatch to the Sen
tinel from Escanaba, Michigan, by
staff correspondent, says:
Four known dead, a score or more
persons missing, hundreds of families
homeless, several millions of dollars
of property burned, four towns wiped
out entirely and a dozen more partl-
ally destroyed; five counties devas-
tated and 100 square miles of territory
fire swept. This is the dreadful pic
ture that the northern Michigan PENN
sula presents to-day after the worst
forest fire since the Peshtigo disaster
in 1871 has spent itself.
General Superintendent Wells OF the
Escanaba & Lake Superior railroad
along whose right of way the greatest
loss occurred, returned tonight from
trip of inspection over the fire
stricken area, and says the flames
have gone down and for the time be-
ing the danger is over, unless new
gale arises to again fan the embers
into flames.
The following summary briefly tells
the story:
Peter LaFond, cook, was smoth
cred in lumber camp and his body
found tonight.
Three unknown children, all dead at
Quinnesec, Michigan. They were sep
arated from their parents while the vii
lage was burning and persisted.
Scores of homesteaders and woods
men are missing and many have prob
ably persisted in the flames.
Territory devastated five counties
Marquette, Menominee, Delta, Alger
and Dickinson.
The territory fire swept ic 100 miles
square.
Towns totally burned, Talbot, Michl
gan, 100 population, only few houses
left standing.
Quinnesec, Michigan, 400 population
only one house remains.
Saunders, $50 population, all wiped
out.
Niagara, Wisconsin, 800 population
all wiped out.
Towns partially destroyed: North
land, Cornell, Antoine, Spring Valley
Kingsley, Woodland Foster City, Sala
Metropolitan.
The fire ragged for distance of sixty
four miles along the line of the Escan
aba & Lake Superior railroads and for
thirty miles beyond Charming, the
terminus of the road. 1t seems certain
now that 1000 persons are homeless in
that district and that 1000 are left
desolate at Quinnesec.

MEDICINE HAT WANTS BOOM,
One Industry Enterprisins Town For
DOT to Mention

Medicine Hat is one of the towns
pardon us, cities,-in the Canadian
Northwest which is making a great
bid just now for its share of the pres
ent boom in Canada. The mayor of
Medicine Hat goes so far as to adver-
tise the merits of that noble city in
some Canadian papers. Its virtues
are dwelt upon in these advertise
ments at great length, and particular
stress is laid upon the fact that an
abundant supply of natural gas makes
Medicine Hat particularly favorable
place for the location of manufactur-
ing plants.
Somehow we seem to have heard
the name of Medicine Hat before. II
our memory does not fail us, this is
the place where the weather man says
the cold waves come from. When the
mercury sinks to zero in the Ohio Val
ley This considerate gentleman some
times calls our attention to the fact
that it is $40 below at Medicine Hat"
This does not seem so bad in August.
but it must be a pretty cold reality in
January.
Medicine Hat deserves it's growing
fame Strange that in his references
to the many advantages of his grow
ing city the mayor of Medicine Hat
never alludes to the cold wave indus.

WELLMAN'S AIRSHIP.
Preparations for Start of Polar Expe
dition.

Paris.-The early departure OF Wal
ter Wellman, the American explorer,
and his party for Spitzbergen, in ac.
cordance with his plan to endeavor 20
reach the North pole by means of a
dirigible balloon, is attracting wide
spread attention here among aeronauts
and men of science. This attention
has been increased by Mr.. Wellman's
announcement that he intends to es-
tablish a base at Danes island and be-
gin his ascent on the very spot where
Andre inflated his balloon.
The first section of his party, under
Major Herzy, will leave Paris in a few
days, rendezvousing at Tromseoe until
June 18th and then proceeding on the
Arctic steamer Frithjof to Spitzbergen,
where Major Herzy will direct the con-
struction of a headquarters, machine
shops, gas plant and balloon shed. The
balloon will be the largest ever con.
structed, owing to the enormous d.
mansions of Mr.. Wellman's dirgible
machine. Major Merzy's advance
party will consist of Alexander Lew
anthan, chemist and gas engineer; DR..
w. N. Fowler Of Indiana, surgeon:
Felix Rosenberg, assistant navigator,
and Francis H. Buzzacott, commissary.
Mr.. Wellman will follow, June 25th,
with the balloon and the remainder of
his party, consisting of Maxwell
Smith, wireless telegraph expert, who
will establish a wireless station at
Spitzbergen; CASTOR Hervieu, aero.
naut, and John Colard and two assist
ant aeronauts.

last winter an editor named Hekl.ila

rarcical Meat Inspection.


A constant menace to public life
and health in the stockyards of Chi
cago is shown up by DR.. w. X.
Jaques, formerly director Of the Chi
cago Laboratory, and in charge of the
meat inspection at the stockyards, who
tells In Worlds Work OF the ineffi-
cheney and corruption Of the local in
spection. Among other things. he
says: During the first month in
which l was city director. one meat
inspector made only one condemna-
ton for that month, and that Of an
immature calf Another inspector
made no report to me Of any work
done curing my entire term of Office,
and l was powerless to compel him
to do SO because of his political back
ing. 1t is needless to say that he
drew his salary regularly. Still an
otner meat inspector was engaged in
profitable side line Of buying quar-
antined beef for packers. The ac-
curacy and thoroughness Of the work
of government inspectors can be
Judged when it is estimated that from
1900 to 1900 cattle are often killed
under the eye of single inspector in
day from eight to ten hours. Walk
ing back and forth through the kill
ing beds, the inspector can give only
