ed the train at Bara2a and took a
seat in the smoker. Little attention
was paid to him until u physician
entered the~car At Michigamme. He
noted that the man was just recov-
ering from an attack of smallpox,
and told the c. nductor that he did
not believe the man free from infec
ton. The man was therefore put
of the train at Champion The
smoker was Immediately vacated by
the other passengers. On reaching
Marquette the smoker was detached
from No. 2 and attached to No. l.
They picked up the man at Champion
and he had private Car all the way
to Barags. where he was set down
again, to be looked after by the
authorities there. A fumigation
put the car in shape for service
again.
! As matter of fact the victim Of it
all was Frank Hinton. q woodsman,
who some time ago was taken III
with smallpox and was Immediately
placed 10 the pest house, where he
was detained for several days over
the statutory time. On Monday he
was released and after making the
rounds OF the saloons he boarded the
train. During his carousal his face
became scratched, and with the
scratches and the fresh pittings it
gave the man the somewhat peculiar
appearance which caused all the
trouble. Hinton was pronounced
free from injection ny the local ply

long overseas journeying. Leaving
Washington on June 20, he went first
to Montreal, on one of the longest in
spection tours ever undertaken by a
cabinet officer. He visited immigra-
tion stations along the Canadian line
from Montreal to Winnipeg and Van
couver, going thence to Seattle and
San Francisco and sailing from that
port on July 25 for Honolulu, where he
arrived on July 81. On his return he
visited the Yellowstone National park,
but this part of the trip was entirely
one of pleasure and was at the secre-
tary's personal expense.
On this trip he was accompanied by
his wife, son, daughter and private Sec
retary, only Secretary Straus' own ex-
penses, of course, being borne by the
government. 1t is estimated at the
department of commerce and labor
that Secretary Straus' trip cost the
government not more than $1,000
And it is claimed for it that it was of
immense business benefit to the de-
partment

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window Of farm, to- watch
the birds came for several successive
years Last spring. however, before
they arrived, a sparrow took up her
abode In one OF the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole Of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part Of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.
The house martins had walled her
up for daring to take possession Of
their house.-Country Life.

XXT ASHINGTON.--During the sum-

members Of President Roosevelt's cab
met have spent more than 600 days
away from their desks, and their va
cation journeyings and business trips
have covered thousands of miles over
land and sea.
Of the nine, Secretary Of War Taft
is the greatest traveller Already he
has been away from his department
more than so days, and, as he now is
on his way around the world, he has
travelled, including his vacation jour-
neying and his official trip Of the
orient. something like 10000 miles,
with much more yet to come.
Next to Secretary Taft, Secretary Of
State Root remained from the capital
longer than any other official, and, in
cluding his trip to Mexico, he will
have been away SO long that it will be
hopeless for any other cabinet officer
to attempt to equal his record,

MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans TO Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.

How to attract trade to towns is a
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people Of the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put In operation by
different towns to bring about the OBJ
jects desired. The people OF the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted in bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo-
pie on a friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for market day" For this
occasion bands Of music are engaged,
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are en-
ployed to interest the people All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests Of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses, cattle, hogs, in
fact, every product that they have for
sale, and the same is auctioned off to
the best advantage On these market
days all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains,
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprising small towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood Of less enterprising towns
The market-day idea is worthy of con-
sideration by business men in small
towns who desire to pursue an mex
pensive method of attracting trade to
the place

Home and its protection is the safe
guard Of all government. That citi-
zen who has the love Of home and
fealty to home interests, is a worthy
representative of commonwealth. 1t
IS the mass Of such men that are the
backbone of any community, and,
figuratively. the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded Whoever lives in a COM
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist in
the building up Of Industries that add
to the greatness Of that community, is
like an alien, While he lives one
place. his heart is in another He is
not the ideal citizen, for he is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors II is the duty Of every
resident of a town or community to do
his utmost TO advance its interest
BY thus doing he not alone assists
himself. but his neighbors, his town.
his county, his state and his nation.

Any plan devised that tends toward

easier the building up of harmful
combinations During the past ten
years billions of dollars have been
sent to the large cities by the resi-

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the

which caused one Of them to raise his

make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced Warily around to see
if any one was listening to the talk
Of his friend. At this moment he dis

may have heard that justice Is blind
