ven this two-score years, since a levin
flash burned the sight out of my head"
"You have been blind to much that
is goodly and fair" quoth Sir Nigel, but
you have also been spared much that is
sorry and foul. But, by st. Paul we
must on, or our Company will think that
they have lost their captain somewhat
early in the venture. Throw the man my
purse, Edricson, and let us go.'
Alleyne, lingering behind, bethought
him of the Lady Loring's counsel, and
reduced the noble gift which the knignt
had so freely bestowed to a single penny,
which the beggar, with many mumbled
blessings, thrust away into his wallet
Then, squirting his steed, the young squire
rode at the top of his speed after his
companions, and overlook them just at
the spot where the trees fringe off into
the moor anu the struggling hamlet Of
Horde lies scattered on either side of the
winding and deeply rutted track. The
Company was already well-nigh through
the village; but as the knight and his
squires closed up upon them, they heard
the clamor of a strident voice, followed
by roar of deep-chested laughter from
the ranks of the archers. Another minute
brought them up with the rear-guard,
where every man marched with his beard
on his shoulder and face which was
agrin with merriment. BY the side of
the column walked a huge red-headed
bowman, with his hands thrown out in
argument and expostulation, while close
at his heels followed n little wrinkled
woman, who poured forth shrill volley

from her stick, given with all the force
of her body, though she might have been
beating one Of the forest trees for all
the effect that she seemed likely to pro-
duce.
II trust Aylward," said Sir Nigel,

with a grin, ''it is violence which Is

archers, amid fresh burst of laughter.
''Do not thwart her, comrade," said big
John. 'She hath proper spirit for her

BREAKS BY CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
just Before Adjournment.

In the hurry and hustle of "get
away" day in Congress, a few errors
slipped in to upset the calculations of
party leaders. One of these was the
signing of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill by the President before that
measure contained the signature Of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. OF course this oversight was
corrected, but the question then arose
as to the Importance of having the bill
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. Their signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses, the important fact
being that they have been passed by
the House and Senate. For this rea-
son it is not regarded as being abso-
lutely indispensable that a bill should
be signed by the presiding officer of
the House. All that is necessary is to
establish the fact that it has been so
passed.
Another break was the presiden-
tial approval of the sundry civil bill
containing an item appropriating
100000 for q site for new de-
partmental building in Washington.
This item had been dropped out of the
bill in conference but the enrolment
clerks failed to notice the omission
and so included this item in the copy
of the bill laid before the President for
his signature. When the error was
discovered, a resolution was adopted
by both houses of Congress repeating
the feature of the bill making the
$3OOO,OOO appropriation.
1t is not strange that these mis-
takes occur, as all Of the employees of
both the Senate and House during the
last few days of Congress have an
enormous amount of work showed upon
them, so that when Congress actually
adjourns many of them are ready to
take to their beds for several days in
order to recuperate.

figures that while we used last year
more that a billion pounds of coffee,
and while about 250,000000 pounds
were supposed to be Mocha and Java,
there were actually imported into this
country last year only a fraction over
100000 pounds of Mocha and 10000
600 pounds of Java, or approximately
less than 100000 pounds, or only 3
per cent. of the popular blend. 1t is
staggering to know 90 per cent. of the
people who think they drink Mocha
and Java every day have been de-
ceived, and yet the facts seem to be
rather plain.
Figures like these, however, al
though ordinarily impressive and con-
vincing, did not attract so much at
tention in the House, because the
members were so absorbed in the prac-
teal demonstration of the extent to
which fraudulent manufacturers Of
food products have been willing to
go in the way Of swindling the public.

A STRIKING BEAUTY OF ENGLISH
COURT WHO rs FRIEND OF
WORKINGMEN.

Has Accomplished Great Philan-
thropy, Founding Girls Schools in
Dairying, Poultry, Etc.-Prominent
In Politics.
England has at least one titled
woman 7 whose wealth and position
have not proved sufficient to blind her
to conditions which surround less for
tunate men and women. She is the
Countess of Warwick, long the reign
ing beauty of King Edwards court,
and one of the most famous women in
two continents.
The Countess has recently come in
to prominence through her par.i-ipa-
tion in the English elections and is
strong advocate and supporter Of VIII

borers for q seat in the House of Com
mons. The Countess strongly sup

women to the United States to study

visited stenographers and typewriters,
another went to tailor shops and still
another to the factories where young
men and women are employed and the
entire labor field was adequately COW

penses of the trip and is now using
the material which her delegation
brought back to her for speeches to
the laboring classes.
Not long ago the Countess addressed
a tremendous crowd of workmen. Her
stage was a bridesmaids wagon and
hundreds of workmen went without
their dinners in order to hear her
speech. She was given a great ova-
ton, called the men comrades and

Capt. VIM. M Bowen, Dead

The news Tuesday morning of
the sudden death of Captain w. M.
Bowen came as pail to his many
friend and relatives in Logan. He
had been rooming in the James
building and was slightly indis-
posed, but his family and friends
were not fearful that his sickness
was serious. During the night he
had left his room and decended to
the yard at the rear of the build
ing, where he had sunk down with
heart failure, and was found dead
in the morning.
One of Logan's wonderful char
acter has passed to the great be-
yond. He was born in Logan
seventy-six years ago and has lived
here almost all Of that time since.
Having grown up with the town,
he possessed world of knowledge
of the history of this county and
town. He knew history not as
hearsay, but as an educated man
critically observing affairs as the
years rolled on. His memory on
property rights was invaluable.
In late years he has been proficient
in abstracting and making inspec-
tions for the town. With his
death closes a chapter of know
ledge of great value to present and
future generations. AT one time
he was rich man, and the Chica-
go fire completely ruined him, but
he was always the same jolly
wholesouled citizen. The funeral
was held today under auspices of
the G.. A. r..

City Officials Win Case.
tAthens Gazette.}

Nelsonville, Oct. l2.-Citiaena
of Nelsonville, who have had at
heart the welfare of the municipal
electric light plant, are highly
elated over the decisions of the
circuit court this week in the two
injunction suits which were
brought in an effort to cripple the
city's lighting plant so as to cause
it to be failure.
The question involved in one Of
the cases was whether munici-
pality could furnish electric light
ing for commercial purposes with
out exceeding the power conferred
upon it by the State laws. An in
junction was first asked for in
common pleas court to restrain the
city from entering the field of
commercial lighting, but that tri-
bunal held that the power to fur
nish commercial lighting was
granted to municipalities by stat
ute, and the restraining order ap-
piled for was refused.
The case was then appealed to
circuit court and this higher tri-
bunal affirmed the decision of com
mon pleas court.
The question in the other ease
was whether the city officials at
the time the contract ,r the con
struction of the plant was entered
into, had complied with the re-
quirements of the law in the steps
they had taken towards the ius
stallation of the plant prlor to the
execution of the contract. The
common pleas court, where this
action was filed, was asked for nm
injunction to prevent the compile
tion of the plant, but it decided
in favor of the CITY officials, re-
fusing the injunction, aud lis de-
cIsiOn was upheld by the circuit
court.
1t lie said that both eases willhe
appealed to the State supreme
court.

J0HNSON'S
PLATFORM.
Macarthur Enquirer }

Hollis Johnson of Gallipolis, Re-
publican Candidate for Common
Plens Judge, in this district, was
a Macarthur visitor Thursday,
shaking hands with voters. Mr..
Johnson is good hand shaker
and a clever man to meet, but our
people will persist in asking why
he did certain things while a
member of the legislature, from
his County.
For instance, they would like to
know why he voted for the obnox-
ious inheritance tax, which law
was repealed by our last Legisla-
ture? Why he voted to change
the Fairfield judicial district into
the present shoe string district?
Why he voted to increase the
taxes on the farmers and other
tax payers by increasing the sala-
ries of all state officers and Judges2
These officers were all getting big
salaries before the increase came.
Why he introduced the "Electric
Mule" Bill?
Johnson was candidate before
the first Republican Judicial Con-
vention after the passage of the
increase in salary bill for Common
Pleas Judge and would have been
nominated had he been able to Sc
cure the votes of his own County
delegation. He is now candi-
date asking your support. How
do you like his platform? Inheri-
tance tax; Salaries of all Judges,
Common Pleas, Circuit and Su-
preme, all greatly increased; The
new Shoe string Judicial district2
Salaries of all other State officers
increased The "Electric Mule
Bill" introduced.

William Mead Bowen was born
in Logan, Hooking Co., Ohio,
April 13, 1880, being the eighth
child and eldest son of family of
eleven children, and only brother
being the eleventh child. Mead

ried to Miss L1cy Drake, a daugh-
ter of Francis Drake, an English
