 "So much as that?"
 Yes. truly"
 She put her foot on the seat of 8 chair. and bent over to fasten the silk en sandal ribbon about her ankle She was all silk and gauge, all youth and grace, like fairy.
 "I had my costume weighed last night" she said as she rose, smiling and panting slightly. "These"-she touched her tights of pale blue silk weigh four ounces.

TAUGHT FOR HALF A CENTURY.
Long Record of Usefulness for Massa-
 chusetts School Teacher.

A headmaster for half a century in the Cambridge schools is the remarka- ble record of Ruel H. Fletcher, of the Thorndike school East Cambridge, He has recently graduated his fiftieth class from that school.
 For fifty eight years he has taught school, beginning in 1S49 He came to Massachusetts in 1852, taught school two years in Abingdon, two years in Quincy and then began his long serv- ice in Cambridge. That service was started in the Otis school, for which a new building was erected a few years after and the name changed to the Thorndike school, so that his service has been practically in the one school.
 When the city of Cambridge erect ed two new school buildings four years ago, unknown to him the pu- pills of his school circulated a petition that one of the new schools be named in honor of the headmaster to whom they were so devoted. The decision of the committee to comply with their request was prompt and unanimous. The Fletcher school graduates it's first class on Tuesday, and Mr. Fletcher will be a guest of honor on that occa- sion.-BOstOn Herald

Perhaps one of the most discourag- ing things to fruit growers in Arkan- sas is the failure by reason of inability or otherwise of the railroads to furnish refrigerator cars in which to ship the fruit. Iii said.that thousands of crates
  of fine peaches and other fruit is now about to be lost on account of lack of facilities for shipment. The loss of the present cropis one bad thingabo it. and the fact that great industry is stifed IS another bad feature about it. Ger tainlysone of the.greatest problems be- fore the people is that of transporta tion and the regulation of our domestic commerce.

BOOST PRICES OF LABOR.
Natural Result of American Demand
 for Dates.

For a long time the export of dates from the Persian gulf to America was in the hands of one or two firms. Now the field has been entered by others, and during the past season six con cerns in Maskat were packing dates for American exporters. This compe- tition serves to keep the price well up. as the date caravans come in from the interior and sell their cargoes at auction. Contracts for future delivery are often made with growers and money advanced, but even then deliv- cries are usually made subject to the prices prevailing at the time. There has been some difficulty experienced this year in securing labor to pack the dates for the American market This work is done by women, and the increased trade resulted in @ scarcity of hands and an increase of wages. If the situation exists again next year it can probably be met by importing labor either from India or Baluchistan for the packing season, which begins in August and is usually over early in January at the latest.

The little marshal was sandy-haired,
freckle-faced, and all nerve. He cast one
quick glance to left and right. The crowd
damned within the Occidental had already
turned and were surging toward the door;
the hotel opposite was beginning to swarm;
down the street throng Of men was pour
ing forth from the Miners Retreat, yelling
fercely while hurrying figures could be
distinguished here and there among the
scattered buildings, all headed in their d.

rience what this meant: these were the

square jaws set like trap.

Mason promptly landed that gentleman on

With every nerve strained to the utter

than brutes, they came bowling on. caring

whole affair had been like flash of fire,

lay a dead man, and every instinct Of the
border demanded a victim in return.
