How Arnold Studied Logic.

Here is an interesting story told In
the life of Archbishop Temple:
Matthew Arnold got leave. at the last
moment, to take in Logic For Respon-
sions" instead Of Euclid" which he
could never master. The day before
the examination he went to Jowett,
who was his tutor, and asked how he
could learn the subject in time, as he
was wholly ignorant of it. Jowett said
his only chance was to go to Temple
and see If he would try to teach him in
one day. Temple consented and, start
ing about 8 o'clock in the morning,
talked continuously, allowing two
pauses of half an hour each for meals,
till past 2 o'clock next morning Ar
mold had been provided with paper,
but took no notes. He lay back in his
chair with the tips of his fingers to-
gether, saying from time to time,
What wonderful fellows they were"
Soon after O'clock a. m. Temple sent
Arnold away to get some sleep, after
which he satisfied the examiners in
logic He answered every question.

Changes In Pronunciation.

IL requires no very profound knOWl-
edge of English literature to ascertain
that the pronunciation of the language
has undergone vast change during
the last three centuries. The shrewd
conjecture has indeed more than once
been haZarded that the works of the
EliZabethan dramatist would be unin-
telligible to a modern audience if the
native and original pronunciation were
adhered to, and certain, at all events,
it is that in many we'll known passa ges
of Shakespeare the very rhythm of the
line imperatively demands strange
and unaccustomed accentuation of Ger.
tain words. With the peculiarities of
later period most people are sutti-
GENTLY acquainted. That gold was
goold and that china was clancy dur.
ing the Augustan era is matter of com.
mon knowledge. And who can forget
Pope's description of Atticus:
Dreading even fools, by fatterers be.
sieged.
And SO obleeging that he ne'er obleeged?
The last mentioned mode, as we'll as
the two others, fingered on we'll into
the last century and was habitual Will

office, while that youngster insisted
that he would be sorry in the morning
if not just then. The encounter had at
least served to rouse Gordon, and he
went uptown to the club to spend a
miserable evening trying to pretend to
himself that he did not care about the
broken engagement.
John US You'll be sorry in the
morning if you amt now was pro-
phetic. Dick moped over his desk all
the morning, unable to do any work A
dozen times he reached for the tele-
phone to call Marion up and ask her
forgiveness, and each time he set it ir-
resolutely down again, declaring to
himself that Marion should have known
she should have waited until he could
call her up. 1t was on her account as
we'll as his own that he was worried
about that contract, and if she could
not realize that a half mentioned en-
gagement might have slipped his mind
in the pressure of more important mat
tiers that was her fault, not his.
Half dozen times during the morn
ing John j. stole into the room to re-
mind him that those figures for the L.
AND +. had to be sent out that evening,
Each time he was met with n torrent
Of rebuke. Then he put on his hat and
went out Of the office, though his lunch
hour was not until / o'clock
He knew where Marion lived, and
the statement that he had message
for her was enough to get him past the
door. Presently the butler came back
wearing solemn frown.
Miss Darling does not care to re-
ceive the message" he said.
You tell her want to see her my
SELF" announced John ].
For moment the butler hesitated,
and through that hesitation was lost.
Somehow John ]. usually got what he
wanted, but he was the only person
not surprised when Marion sent down
word that she would see him.
Il want to tell you about Mr.. Cor
'don," he began as the butler closed the
door. Say, he's awful about the place.

WEATHER. CROP BULLETIN.

The average temperature of the
week was above normal, though it
closed with a cool wave and light To-
cal frosts. The rainfall has been
ample for present needs except in a
small area in the central and south
central districts. The weather was
showery, and portions of the west
central and northern districts were
visited by heavy storms which caused
some damage and delayed field work
several days. Generally however, the
conditions were favorable for work
and growth of crops. In the larger
part of the state the reports indicate
that fair stand of corn has been
secured and the work of cultivation
is progressing under favorable con-
ditions. Except in three or four
northern counties the usual acreage
has been planted and termination
has been satisfactory. Small grain
crops and grass in meadows and past
ures have been doing very we'll except
In the limited area where the rainfall
was deficient. AS whole the season
up to June l has been more favorable
than in any year since 1900.

Dick Gordon hated those cold, accusing
tones.

frmed angrily 1.-THE woman / am to
marry should be content with my state
ment that there was a good reason"

Since you want to be Independent, I
give you back your entire independ-

His face white with anger, Gordon
threw open the door and stood there as
she passed through to the next room.
Over in the corner John j. was busy
with the mail, but he looked up with q
grin ON his freckled face to smile upon
her as she went out. John j. approved
of Marion.
Gordon went back to his desk. The
golden circlet lying there was too much
for his composure and, with a groan,
he threw his arms forward on the desk
and buried his head upon them
1t had all been very silly and vet
very tragic. He had meant to write
Marion that there was meeting of the
promoters of the l.. and T. railroad and
that he would have to be present to
furnish them With estimates if he
hoped to get the contract If he could
land that order his success would be
assured, and in the prospect of winning
out he had forgotten to write.

when in the morning she had demand

gagement without having waited for
him to call up on the telephone he had
angrily refused to offer any eXplana-
ton or apology, and when she had
come to his Office they We're both too
angry to arrive at an understanding.
Gordon was reused by touch on the
shoulder. He sprang nervously up, to
confront John j.
why don't you go home?" he thun-
dered. 1.-THE Office should have been
closed half an hour agov'

You cannot experiment every time
you make cake or biscuits, or test
the strength of your baking powder to
find out how much of it you should use,
yet with most powders you should do
this, for they are put together so
carelessly they are never uniform,
the quality and strength varying
with each can purchased. Therefore,
at one time baking powder will pro-
duce less leavening gas than at an
other.
If you base your calculations on the
strength and results of previous
can, you may use too much or not
enough of the new; they will remain
heavy and your materials in time will
be lost; or else you will have harsh
ly acid or strongly alkaline cake OF
biscuits.
Avoid the cheap and "Big CAM
baking powders. Cheap baking pow
ders leave bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and aka
line, and always unpalatable, they
are never of uniform strength and
quality.

South Omaha, Nebr.. May 10Th, 1906.
The cattle trade last week closed
up Is to Is cents lower on mostly all
classes of steers, the handy weight
kinds receiving less of the discrimi-
nation. So far this week trading has
been rather slow but just about steady
for anything useful. Good to choice
kinds of steers are quotable at $500
to SIS 80 fair to good kinds S4.6O to
$500. Butcher stock has formed but
small part of the offering and these
kinds have met with little better
inquiry, the trade this week holding
steady with the 10 to Is cent decline
noticeable for last week. Coed to
choice cows and heifers are selling at
$500 to 81. so; fair to good 1925 to
$3.50; Gamers and cutters 81. rs to
$3.50; veal calves steady at 1925 to
1915.
There has been little better one
to the stocker and feeder trade, the
inquiry being little stronger than a
week or so ago. The receipts con-
tinue light which has been more of a
feature to cause the better feeling
Light cattle have shown little adj
vance, while the heavier cattle are
no more than strong. Good to choice
kinds are selling at S4.25 to $3.50
fair to good $50 to S4.25.
There continues to be liberal offer
ings of hogs. However, the demand
is of excellent character and packer:

do you mean that he sent me let

]. dug in one of his pockets. "Ne was
in a hurry, and l took it on the ma
chine for him. Just tell him you're
sorry over the telephone SOS he can

Marion tore open the letter. Dear
friend" it ran, Il am sorry l can't
come to see you tonight, but there's
some guys l must see about that rail
road matter and l can't come. I'm
sorry, but you see this is awfully inn

the receiver from the hook.

the room and pretended to look out of
the window while she was speaking.
but the sharp ears would listen, and
when she called to him he knew that
it was all right and that the important
letter would be written.
''It is all right" she said as she came
toward him. II have telephoned Mr.
Gordon, and he understands. 1t was
very good of you to come up and tell
me, John"
Something had to be DONE" he pro-
tested, land there wasn't anybody else
to do it,"
Marion leaned forward and kissed
his freckled cheek. II should be very
jealous of you, John j., if you were a
woman" she said you care a great
deal for Mr.. Gordon"
Hes all right" assented John j., ''if
he does have mad spell now and then.

then he's sorry. You ought to try that -

You didn't tell him that l was up
here:' he asked as he paused at the
door.

have had to explain about the letter.
"He don't like to have me butting
in" explained John ]. as he slid through
the doorway.

ion told Dick of the pitiful little for
gerry made to bring things out right
and showed him John US idea of q

it was a happy moment for John j.
when Dick shook his hand, man fash
ion, and thanked him for what he had
done.

spouse he could think of, but Dick and
Marion cannot.
