When Speaker Cannon said that he would rather
be Hveaker than be president he probably had in his
nina the picture of just what he would have done
to any reckless congressman who would have dared
try to amend the railroad rate bill after the speaker
had looked upon the bill and pronounced It good.

CHAPTER XIII.

~ UILFORD DUNCAN carried
out his purpose, as he
thought, with good deal OF
~ tact. He began by calling
not upon Barbara, but upon three or
four other young women-a thing he
had never done before. He thought In
this way to make his call upon Bar
bara, when it should come, an incon-
spicuous event. To his surprise, his
entrance thus into society created
something Of futter among the wo-
men folk. especially the married wo-
men who had manageable daughters
or who were matchmakingly interested
In other young women not their daugh-
ters. for Guilford Duncan, the moment
he was thought Of as social factor
and matrimonial possibility, was seen
to be the "best catch" in the little city,
the most desirable young man In the
town. He was young and distinctly
handsome. He was Il man Of educa.
ton. culture and superior intelligence.
His manners were easy, polished and
very winning. Especially he treated
women with certain chivalric defer
ence that pleased them even more
than they knew. Captain Will Hal
lam's wife, who was the social leader
Of the city, said TO him one day:
"you must be careful what you do IN
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1906-09-21
waiting lsr was always long, Tor the
fame of Barbara'S table was great.

wa,,Ing iisr was always long, Tor the
fame of Barbara's table was great.
Really 1t was her own skill that made
her table famous. She hired COOK,
of course, after her little business be-
came prosperous, and sometimes for
brief while she trusted to the cooks
skill. Then her conscience beset her
because the breakfasts and dinners
and suppers were not prepared III that
perfection which alone could satisfy
this conscientious little woman's soul.
"You see, it isn't honest, aunty," she
would say in explanation whenever she
returned to the kitchen and gave per-
sonal attention to every detail. I'VE
are charging these young gentlemen
for their meals, and it seems to me
dishonest if we give them less than
the best that we can. They come TO
us because they have heard that we
serve the best meals that can be had
in Cairo. How mean and wrong 1t
would be for us to trade upon that
reputation and give them meals OF an
inferior quality! l simply can't get a
cook who will do things at their best,
and so 1 must do most Of the cooking
myself, and then Ill know 1t Is well
DONE"
She hired "neat handed Phyllis" IN
a cambria gown-which Barbara insist
ed must be fresh and clean every day
to wait upon the table. She hired a
handy negro boy to wash dishes, scrub
and prepare vegetables under her own
direction. She did all the more impor-
tant part of the cooking herself, and
the negro boy Bob simply worshlped
the girl whom he always addressed as

ARE LET.
Same Men Will Build Second Uni
versity Building.

The contracts for the building or
the Girls Dormitory at the Oskaloosa
Holiness university site southeast of
the city were awarded Friday by the
trustees of the institution. The build
ing will be done by Charles Spann OF
Abba, and the masonry by Harry H
Phinney, of 0skaloosa, the same who
have been interested in the contracts
for the other buildings.
The dormitory building is special
rush job and every man possible will
be. crowded onto the work to get the
building constructed within sixty days.
The building will have rooms for
one hundred girls, matron's apart
ments, kitchen, large dining room,
closets, property rooms, etc.
The third building of the year to be
erected will be the heating plant,
which will be built later, after the
rush on the two buildings now under
construction is over. The contracts
and the plans for this building will be
determined later, as there is more
time in which to complete this work
The two main buildings must be rush
ed through with all dispatch possible

FAMINE RELIEF FOR RUSSIA
COUNCIL OF EMPIRE ACCEPTS
PARLIAMENT's BILL.
Great Jubilation Among Lower House
Members Over What Is Considered
Lack of Confidence in Ministry.

St Petersburg, July 16.--The coun-
Gil of the empires acceptance without
amendment on Saturday Of parlia-
ment's bill appropriating $500, 900
for famine relief came as surprise,
but has occasioned the greatest jubila-
ton in the camp of the lower house,
as it is regarded as vote of lack Of
confidence in the Goremykin ministry
on the part of the upper chamber.
While many of the speakers in the
council of the empire really favored
adoption of the cabinets recommends
tions, they recognized that it would
be a fatal mistake for the council to
antagonize the lower house in the pres
ent crisis.
Moreover, those on the inside who
were aware that the negotiations be-
tween the government and the consti-
tutional democrats were entering the
final stage, naturally were influenced
by coming events.
According to late reports, all the
questions OF principle involved in a
change of the ministry have been
resolved and now it is merely a matter
of personalities. The emperor is still
Directing to certain names proposed
by the constitutional democrats.
Admiral Skrydloff probably will
succeed the late Vice Admiral Chouk-
min, commander of the Black sea feet.
The agrarian commission of the
Inuar bouca IN dafaranna IN tho frp,
protest of the Group of Toll has re-
jected the proposal of Nj Kutlia-
revski, of Saratov, to place in the
agrarian bill provision exempting
from appropriation land and stock
companies and lands, like vineyards,
fruit orchards. etc., under special cul-
tivation.

COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING 4
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, July IA noteworthy
characteristic Of the conditions which
exist on the Chicago market at the
present time is the strongly marked
contrast between the view of those
whose trade is principally in or near
the city and that of me men whose
market is chiefly outside the sphere of
local Chicago influences. While the
latter do not report conditions so flaw
Jess as to make them unduly jubilant,
yet in comparison with the former
they are eminently well satisfied with
conditions as they nd them TO-DAY.
They are by no means burdened with
rush orders for immediate delivery
but, on the contrary, report quiet
current market. This they attribute
partly to the time of year, anu partly
to the reflex effect of the glutted Cal
cago market. But in contract busI-
ness good progress is being made.
One operator, for example, states
that already seventy-.-ve per cent of
his old contracts have been renewed,
most of them for two years, or, TO
be exact, up to Idarch 31st, 1908.
