and Talbot glanced up, Bearing a sheaf of correspondence, the girl had entered! She belonged there! Under his ardent gaze, she flushed trifle, deposited her letters on Jepson's desk, received his grunt of acknowledgement and retired-and Talbots decision had been completely inverted.
 I'll try it." he said. quite as if doubt had never for a moment existed.
 Good" said Jepson. with equal brevity. "Well send you some sam ples to begin on tomorrow morning Start In as soon as possible"
 "I'll make a beginning within a day or two"
 All right. And look here. young man. You want to bear in mind that If you happen to hit this thing. It will be covered by patents-and our pat ents, at that. Keep 1t to yourself"
 "Cerainly," replied the chemist rath- CT stiffly.
 Even at writing his decision to Lam don, Talbot never wavered. Matters had quite suddenly adjusted them selves. He was going to succeed in Jepson's work!
 More of the unexpected awaited Tal- bot on the morrow. For some reason the girl herself brought around the samples, and one great aim was ac- CpiilpllSHtu--ie tdltit lO hhO" Hcl'
 The laboratory. with it's myriad weird trappings, was all new to her. She poSed about and asked questions and laughed, and wanted to know what you did with all those crooked little tubes and why that glass dish didn't break when you put the gas flame right under 1t: and when she was gone. it came over Talbot how ut terly dismal his laboratory could ap- pear, even at midday.
 One night at one of the chemical societies, Talbot was rather staggered nt the sight of McMasters taking the next chair with an affable nod. Mc- Masters was a very huge person in chemical circles-and ordinarily he would have passed by Talbot as a non- existent quantity. But!
 Ever do much with nitrogen. Tal- bot?' he inquired.

 What sort of work?"
 ''Well-two or three kinds.

 "Yes?"
 What is his latest scheme?" "WhY-Im not with the house, you know" Talbot laughed nervously But he put some work fin your I hands. didn't he? I understood that you had quite a job on hand "Whv-it's-" Talbot broke out. in some irritation-'it's nothing of much | account"

PURE FOOD ACT
sTRANGLING TACTICS ASSORTED TO
 MEAN NO ACTION.
Record Seems to Fix Chief Responsibility for Supine Inactivity on Colonel
 Hepburn, Chair man,

Raymonds washington Special to The
 Tribune.
 There is-to be a caucus to determine whether the House will pay any further at tention to the pure food bill or not. All indications are that the bill is laid on the shelf for the session
 At least. if 1t gets through the house and into conference 1t cannot receive final consideration and be put the statute books this year. It has been staved. off successfully until after election. and this has been done by concentrated indifference on the part of good many people in the House of representatives who willing to put political expedfencv abovs the inter ests of the people.
 Furthermore there is every reason to he lteve the packing house interests. which now are opposing the proposition 10 provide for satisfactory inspection service. are also responsible, at least in part, for the strangu- lation of the pure food bill If it had been passed they would have been obliged to stop printing labels of potted chicken and boneless turkey made from beef and hog products. and by-products at that. The whisky men and patent medicine men fought the pure food bill to standstill. but they wouldn't have been strong enough to prevent It's consideration entirely.
 Lorimer Aiding Packers.
 The most potent influence against the bill seems to have come from the vicinity of the committee on agriculture The chairman of that committee Is Mir. Wads- worth of New York, who is opposing the Beveridge meat inspection amendment. and one of the members of the committee is MT. Lorlmer of Chicago, who Is also rep resenting the packers. Both Mir. Wads- worth and Mir. Lorimer have been opposed to the pure food bill from the start. and Mir Lorimer is the author of substitute which has been considered by his commit tee. but not deemed worth second thought by the committee on interstate commerce.
 The pure food bill has been slaughtered in the house first by the active efforts of its enemies. and secondly. by the innocuous support of it's friends. 1t has been sort of privileged motion continuing special or der for six weeks more without doing it any good, and within day two a peti- ton has been in circulation on the floor of the house to put ahead of 1t the immigra- tion bill. which is mentioned after the pure food measure in the general order by which both these bills received special consider ation.

Consular Courses"


 It is in direct line with the trend of pub lie opinion that our universities should be- stir themselves in the matter of Consular reform, the first fruit of which is the ar rangement entered into by Columbia and Harvard for the inauguration of courses at these institutions to prepare students for work in foreign countries either under the Government or in a private capacity. Prep aration for the Consular Service includes two languages besides English. comr7ercial geography. theory of statistics, commerce and commercial policy. and Roman com mercial. and international law and diploma cy It appears to be a curriculum well devised to develop the Consular-cerebrum- to-be in the right direction. How the ap- plication of such a standard of fitness would affect some of tho "old brigade" whose linguistic accomplishments are bounded by Webster the north. and on the South East and West by Webster. and whose knowledge of law is Roman than commercial international because 1t is dead" and whose theories of statis- tics have been mainly evolved in atmos- phere of bales boxes and packing cases. t0 say nothing of bars and glassware. may better be left to the imagination than to the pen "on with the dance." let the good work proceed.

 'As early as 1865 the Wells and my Northwest Iowa. For two years our little group of relatives and friends lived on an isolated prairie two miles miles from the nearest town of impor- tance At this time there were abso- i1teiy no settlers to the west Rocp f ps Mountains. The prairies.. for hun dred. miles on every hand. produced yearly a heavy growth of bluejoint ground as smooth as a barn floor. Ther ewas sbsolutely no let nor hin- blow. In consequence, when ever the snow fell and the wind rose, the ice particles drtfted with fury which can hardly be imagined in better covered country.

 At Peterson. Ia. which was our nearest postofice, a county paper had been started as early as 1867. Our first notice in print of the word blizzard, as replied to storms of wind and snow, was m a paragraph of a number of the Clay County News printed about 1869. It was not long after this that Sioux City paper copied 1t, and within year or so we had seen the word blizzard, as applied to these same storms, used in a number of Western journals.
 "Thereafter 1t spread to national use. and by 1875--which, as I have stated. records the earliest claim yet made to It's use-the term was a com. mon one in the columns of any journal which came into our community.

 'Yes, you've got to keep your word. assented Zach. and the others nodded gravely. Two or three citzens ex- pressed a willingness to go along and see fair play, but their offers were em- phatically scorned.

 Over the sagebrush ridges and down went winding monotonously. The road was narrow, the scenery grey and dull. Wallace Rocklin rode on the box with the driver till he felt himself growing drowsy. As the sun disap- peared he climbed down. propped him self in a corner of the coach. and went to sleep.
 It was five more miles to Garnet Peak when they entered dark gorge of the Pinto range and commenced a tedious ascent up the Morgan grade.
 As the horses plodded sturdily around the last of the curves, before the level of the summit should be won. a deep voice broke the stiffness:
 stop. Throw up your hands!"
 The command seemed to issue from the mouth of a tomb of shadow. Two parallel lines of light flashed from the barrels of a gun. human form moved. half in the darkness.

At that instant a form shot from the coach and hurled itself recklcssly against the robber and his gun, dashing the weapon to the rocks where if struck and exploded bar rel.

An Improvement likewise is noted in
the dividend-paying ability OF railway
stocks. In 1898 the percentage OF stock
paying dividends was 80 IS on s., sos, sOO.-

Wainwright, chairman of the assembly
committee About twenty other fnan-
Cial mon were there.
The bill already introduced in the Iegis-
lature calls for ~ per cent in cash and

II was said that the trust company
contingent declared such reserve to be
excessive and argued that the mainten-
anCe of reserve of IA per cent in cash
would take heavy sums of money out OF

are not now necessary. At the conclu-
