THAW is TERRIBLY MOVED
With Bowed Head He Hears His Wife's
PiteOus Recital.

Thus the story ran, with just here
and there an interruption by Delmas
to advise the girl to fix the dates of
the various happenings, and always to
tell just what she had told Harry
Thaw when he asked her to become
his wife. 1t was through the fact that
she had "told everything to Harry
that she was permitted under the rules
of law to give her story to the jury.
Thaw sat pale, but brave-faced beside
his counsel when his wife took the
stand. The two exchanged glances and
the faintest Of smiles played about
the firmly set lips of the girl. Her

TAKING CARE OF HARNESS.
Do Not Let It Get Dirty and Dry as Il
Will Be Sure to Break.

There is nothing like leather"
But there is nothing like knowing how
to keep your leather goods in fine con-
'dition, too. Leather is composed of a
mass of fine tendrils, intimately inter-
locked and entwined. When in good,
pliable condition, each tendril is ca
pable Of much stretching.
II allowed to become dry and hard,
when the leather is subjected to a
severe pull, the tendrils break instead
of stretching. But this does not mean
that leather boots or harness should
be kept soaked with oil or dressing.
Elbow grease applied in quantity is
better.
"All dressings should be applied
sparingly," is the sound advice of a
saddlery concern. Black oil should
always be used on black harness and
not neatsfoot oil, as the latter will
draw out the black dye and leave the
harness brown. The black harness
fats now on the market make excellent
farm harness dressing. They contain
the "nourishment" necessary for keep
ing the harness in good order.
But first, all dirt should be washed
of with luke warm water and ordinary
soap. The black fat should then be
applied with cloth, given a short
time to penetrate the leather and then
rubbed dry with another cloth.
Some make the mistake of oiling
without unbuckling the harness. The
parts that need nourishment most are
under the buckles where the metal
causes hardness and brittleness. If
people would vary the holes of the
harness occasionally it would last
much longer.
An objection to neatsfoot oil is that
it inclines to wash off the beeswax
from the stitches, leaving the bare
thread, which then soon breaks.

panies throughout the country. had
for 4 long time been getting into
shape by concentrating the money of
the country for this monster trust.
It was newspaper and news bureau
gossip that Reinhart and his crowd
had bought millions of shares of the
different stocks involved in the deal,
and it was common knowledge that
upon its successful completion Rein.
hart's fortune would be in the neigh.
borhood of billion. On October LIST
the certificate of the Anti-People's
Trust, ,ooo,oo0,ooo capital, 100000
900 shares, were listed: upon the New
York, London, and Boston Stock Ex~
changes, and the German and French
Bourses, and trading in them started
off fast and furious at 106. The claim
that one billion of the twelve billions
capital had been set aside to be used
in protecting and manipulating the
stock in the market, had been so wide
ly advertised that even the most dar-
ing plunger did not think of selling it
short.
It was evident to all in the stock
gambling world that this was to be
the Systems" grand coup, that at
it's completion the masses would be
rudely awakened to a realization that
their savings were invested in the
combined American industries at vast
ly inflated values, that the few had
all the real money, and that any at.
tempt upon the peoples part to regu-
late and control the new system of
robbery, would be fraught with un-
paralleled disaster-not to the "Sys-
tem," but to the people.

had seen him but few times. Up

man expert on brain disorders had
held out hope that six months treat
ment at his sanitarium in Berlin
might aid in restoring her mind. They
returned the following August. The

a two-hundred-time millionaire, was to
consolidate his and many other enter
prises into one gigantic trust with
twelve billions Of capital. His Union

LOW DOWN WAGONS,
One Farmer Who Finds Them Just the
Thing for the Farmer.

I would not be without my low
down farm wagon for three times it's
cost, writes a correspondent of Or
ange Judd Farmer. l am using mine
neary every day, hauling feed of all
kinds for cattle. They are handy about
loading, handy in turning. as you can
turn much shorter than can be done
done with a standard wagon.
I have steel wheel, wood axle and
coupling. This combination makes a
wagon that should last for Is or 20
years. Of course. low wheel wagon
is not the thing for heavy hauling on
bad roads. They are intended for
farm purposes only.
1 would advise anyone on the farm
to buy a low wagon with 4.inch tires
and 81 inch skein. Mine is a 3h-
inch skein, but that is too heavy. This
kind Of wagon will not cut up the
field. The draft is bound to be heayie,
with standard wagon.

The seesaw Of Living.
The first thought of almost every
wage Garner, overtaken by his perplex
ity, is that somehow his income mus,
be increased to meet the enhanced
cost of living. But after employees
have been painfully convinced, and
after successive ranks Of workers, in
all callings, have been granted an in.
crease Of pay computed to offset the
general increased level in the prices
of the necessaries Of life, it is just as
like as not that the old problem still
remains to be. faced. For when all
employers have to pay high wages.
they necessarily, in most cases ad.
vance the price Of product or service,
so that the increased wage buys nd
more than the old one.

ExTRAvAcANcE IN DRESS.
