A Leap for Life.
Old 1ronsides at anchor lay,
In the harbor of Mahon;
A dead calm rested on the bay
The waves to sleep had gone;
When little Hal, the captains son,
A lad both brave and good,
In sport, up shroud and rigging ran,
And on the main-truck stood
A shudder shot through every vein;
All eyes were turned on high!
There stood the boy, with dizzy brain
Between the sea and sky.
No hold had he above, below;
Alone he stood In air;
To that far height none dared to go
No aid could reach him there.
We gazed, but not a man could speak
With horror all aghast-
In groups, with pallid brow and cheek,
We watched the quivering mast.
The atmosphere grew thick and hot,
And of a lurid hue
As riveted unto the spot
Stood officers and crew.
The father came on deck. He gasped,
20 God! Thy will be done!"
Then suddenly a rife grasped
And aimed 1t at his son.
Jump, far out, boy, into the wavel
Jump, or l fire." he said.
That only chance your life can save;
Jump, jump, boyw He obeyed.
He sank-he rose-he lived-he moved
And for the ship struck out.
On board we hailed the lad beloved
With many manly shout.
rhe father drew, In silent JOY,
Those wet arms round his neck,
And folded to his heart his boy
Then tainted on the deck.

RYAN TO GROW PEANUTS.

Nay Go to Africa Soon to Look ovsa
New interests.
When Thomas F. Ryan interests him
self in any enterprise he Is more than
likely to get everything out of 1t that
q De made to yield profit, says the
~ York Tribune. When he acquired
he 10000 acres in the Kongo district
t was generally supposed that he
would be satisfied with the gold, copper
md rubber In sight there. But Mr..
Ryan, as a virginian, knows the poten-
tlality of rich soil, and as there would
be many thousands of idle acres In the
Kongo principally which he had &C
luired, and as his idle land would not
ield any Of the three great crops from
which the greater part Of his profit was
supposed to come, he determined to put
to practical use.
Virginia is great peanut State. The
oil conditions In Mr.. Ryan's Kongo
,oinain are peculiarly we'll fitted for
peanut culture. The best-paying grade
If peanuts that come from the Virginia
market are the so-called Jumbo variety,

general all-around nutrition.
Mr.. Ryan is going to raise Jumbo

These Jumbo peanuts will bring a big
price In this market, and will DO In

Mr.. Ryan's own State. Men with all
'echnical knowledge of the matter have
cen sent to the Kongo.
Probably the most-used peanut Ia
what is called the Spanish, an offshoot
Of what used to be exclusively grown
n Spain. This Is the little round pea
nut SO much used for sailing. In vir-
ginla greater part of the crop grown
there Is called Spanish No. /. When
the crop Is short there the original
Spanish is imported from Spain, but
in fact, 1t is grown In Northern Africa.
The conditions Of the Virginia soil
make 1t superior for this nut over any
other section In the world except the
Nongo district.
The Jumbo variety brings the highest
price, however, and naturally 1t was
that variety that Mr.. Ryan selected for
Lis crop. He will later grow the Span
lsh peanut, which, although cheaper,
has a greater sale than the Jumbo. But
Mr.. Ryan's advisers, knowing that the
r.. 10 - 4
he price were lower, advised him to
Try that grade first. And that is the
grade that Mr.. Ryan will grow In the
Kongo district. and from the proceeds
thereof he hopes to be able to pay no
inconsiderable part OF the expenses OF
the working of his rubber plantations,
gold mines and copper enterprises

CHAPTER XIV.

Angela and Major Butler were stand
ing on the platform at Janenne Station
when the little engine with Its freight
Of three carriages steamed In. Mrs. Spry
was SO eager to open the door herself
when the train came to a standstill that
she gave O'Rourke no chance to render
her that small service. The widow fell
upon Angela with great fervor, kissed
her, held her at arms length to observe
her, and then embraced her. O'Rourke
busted himself In collecting oIrs. Spry's
belongings and his own. Whilst the two
women were still locked In their second
embrace, the major caught sight of him,
and came to his assistance, unwittingly.
"Hav cried the major, heartily.
"You're back againf Glad to see you !"
"You know Mr.. O'Rourke, don't your
said Mrs Spry, drawing Angela forward.
"You don't know how kind he has been.
Tn sure cayn't tell what should have
done IL It hadn't been for him."
O'Rourke emerged from the railway
carriage and raised his hat to Angela,
who responded to his salute somewhat
coolly, as he fancied.

her way to exposing his tactics.
The friendship which was forming be-
tween Angela and Lucy was Of a very
. different and more deep-rooted sort than
that which existed between the little
American lady and either Of them. The

MRS. YERKES FREED.
Name and Right to Remarry Go With
Divorce Decree.

New York, May 18--The supreme
court has granted an introductory de-
cree of divorce to Mary Adelaide Miz-
ner from Wilson Miner. The testimony
is sealed, and the decree simply states
it is granted by reason of the defend
ants infidelity.
Mrs. Miner is permitted to resume
her former name of Mary Adelaide
Yerkes and she may re-marry If she
chooses.
The marriage of the wealthy widow
and the young Californian many years
her Junior a few weeks after her hus-
bands death created wide public in
terest. Much mystery surrounded the
affair, and it was not until more than a
week after the wedding that either Miz-
ner or Mrs. Yerkes would admit that
the marriage ceremony had been per-
formed.
Mrs. Yerkes, steadfastly denying that
she had again become bride, remained
in seclusion in the stately mansion
built for her by Yerkes, while Miner
lived in on of the big up own hotels.
He, too. persistently denied any knowl-

Judge Pollock's Order Protect.
ing Brewers Is Criticised.
G.. w. TRICKETT BITTER
Angry at Interstate Features
of Courts Decision.
Thinks the Brewers of Neighbour
ing States Should Be Barred.

Kansas City Kan, May 18.-Judge
Pollock's action in granting a temper
airy restraining order yesterday to the
Kansas City Breweries company to pre-
vent county and city officials from in
terfering with the wagons Of that COM
pany until after a hearing of the ap-
plication in the federal court met with
storm of protest in this city. The
opinion of lawyers seemed to be that
the action is a discourtesy to the state
supreme court.
One of those who joined in the general
protest against the interference in the
affairs of the state was c. w. Trickett,
assistant attorney general. Mr.. Trickett
said:
THE supreme court has appointed re-
ceivers for all the property of the Kan
sas City Breweries company in Kansas,
and enjoined that company from trans
acting any business in this state. In
spite of the order that company contin-
ues to do business and continues to send
its brewery wagons into this city ped
ding beer upon our streets. The sherim's
force and police officers of the city were
called upon to assist the receivers in
taking possession of such property. This
suit seems to seek to annul the order
of the supreme court and prevent its
enforcement.
1T raises a question rational in char
acter and involves the sovereign power
of our state. Many judicial crimes have
been committed under the cloak OF in
t6rStat6 commerce., Out nave never
heard of its being carried to the extent
of permitting the citizens of one state to
commit crimes in ncighbor state and
keep them out of Jail by enjoining the
prosecuting officers and police force
from prosecuting them. 1t will be
strange indeed if, when Kansas has
closed its saloons, the breweries of a
neighbor state can place moving sa-
looms upon our streets in defiance of
law under the guise of interstate COM
to- sal nv
reason of being on wheels.
IF such are the powers of federal
courts, then those courts must be abol-
ished, or their powers limited or we
must surrender state sovereignty
None of the officials who was served
with the restraining order wished to be
quoted as criticising the action of fed
eral Judge. All, however, said they
thought there was undue haste in serv-
ing the order after it's issuance All the
OFFICIALS were called from their beds at
/ O'Clock in the morning to be served
with the federal courts order

RECEIVERS AT LEAVENWoRTH
Little Stir Among the Saloon Men at
the Second Visit.

Leavenworth, Kan. May 18.-Judge

brewery receivers appointed by the
Kansas supreme court, arrived mere
Friday to look for more brewery pro-
perty 1t is said that they are look
ing up fixtures owned by the Val Blatz.
Lemp and Goetz brewing firms this
time. The receivers refused to state
the sDecial object of their mission.
The presence of the receivers, which
is their third official visit here. did not
create any stir this time. Saloonkeep-
ers did not close their front doors, but
those on the main business streets put
IN the window blinds, the same as they
do when closed Sundays.
The buildings seized by the receivers
on former visits are idle. The saloon
f3xtures are still in the buildings and

court passes on some of the points
