waiting for Arthur Boyd. The occu-
pant jumped to the ground before his
chauffeur &ad time to bring the car
to a stop and came to meet Boyd
and Naoma. He was we'll proportion

correctness.
Arthur Boyd looked at Naoma. Her
face was changing color.

The blond man, with a faint, insinu-
ating smile, was slowly. suavely lifting
his hat He raised it just high enough
to expose Il slight badness, then settled
it carefully upon his head again.

mas self control was perfect now.
Arthur Boyd received an expression
less nandshake
You are ready in good time" Hamp-
ton spoke to Naoma in a voice that
was as genteel as his dress. Il just
left the decorator at the house"
These words sent chill over Boyd.
He drew back a little.
But | can't so just now" Naoma' S
voice was firm Something quite urg-

will excuse me for little while?" She
smiled up at Hampton.
I'D excuse her forty times a day to
get that smile" thought Arthur Boyd
as he advanced again to her side.
But Hampton drew himself up, and
his face grew pink. He flashed saw
age look at Boyd. 1T will be impossf-
BILE for the decorator to wait. I'm very
sorry he said to Naoma in the same
genteel voice. Then he took her arm
with the air that all was settled.
But Naoma drew back and surveyed
him in frank establishment.
"The decorator can wait better than
than this new appointment. | must
ask you to excuse me-"
The pink in Hampton's face changed
to crimson, and he breathed hard
"Naoma, what is this that's important
enough to interfere with a plan that
was made weeks ago? l demand an
explanation"
The girl was angry. Come" she
said to Boyd, and he felt that things
were evened up by the look she gave
the recent recipient of her intimate
smile.
She was trembling little at Boyd's

A Custom Of the Yuma Indians.

Burning the dead, as observed among
the Yumas, is interesting. The body is
first thoroughly wrapped and then
placed on logs and brush over hole in
the ground. A bed of logs is built up
at each side and at the head of the
bier, which Ia next covered over and
strewn about with dry fagOts. The
flames are applied, and while they
burn the clothing, blankets, etc., of the
deceased are added to the fire. The
horse of the dead man. however, is not
burned among the Yumas, as is the
custom with some Indians. A day or
two after death the wigwam Of the de-
ceased, if an adult, is burned, the rest
of the family then going to live with
some relative The Yumas make a
great show of sorrow over their dead
Later they are never mentioned at all.

Accident
By JEANETTE WALDEN
Copyright, 1906, by May McKeon

Its good to see you once more, Ar
thur Naoma Lake ran across the
room, holding out both hands to the
strong, dark young man who came for
ward to meet her. Her delicate face
was alight with real joy.
"Goodr' he echoed, taking her ex-
tended hands and drawing her to him.
AS he bent his face to meet hers she
shrank back, flushing painfully. Then
a smile fiickered across her face, and
she disengaged her hands, motioning
him to a seat.
For a moment he studied her. "For-
give me- he said ironically. You kiss
ed me goodby, you remember?
81 was young five years ago." she
laughed as she sat down.
He threw himself into a chair oppo-
site and drew his hand across his fore
head.
perhaps we ought to be introduced
he suggested cheerfully.
At this her laugh rang genuine.
s"TeIl me about yourself" she COM
manded.
He shook his head. 'NOthing-same
old story But tell me about yourself
There is something, 1 know. l went to
seek my fortune. You already had
yours in your face"
She could not meet his eyes. Same
old story" She only attempted to laugh
this time There's nothing to tell
There was a tremOr in her voice.
He studied her face again.
"I've got q machine out here" he
said, rising. Come for a ride
She sprang up with impulsive acqui-
essence. Then her gray eyes clouded
suddenly 'Oh, can't"
'But you want top he asserted
eyes, l want to, oh, SO much, butt
have an appointment"
Its been long time since you rode
with me. You need change. Let the
other fellow watt
"The other fellow! You know, then?"
"I don't know anything" he growled.
''Get your hat"
She obeyed.

who has studied the lay Of the
country and books at it from the
standpoint Of the greatest good

towns be connected by the near
est and easiest route, then let
GradyviIie and Midtown come to
it with a branch, then let Caney
Fork connect this main line with
the Columbia and Campbellsvllle
pike at Coburg. To secure this
system, which in the judgment
of many is the very best that can
be devised, the main pike should
run from Greensburg through to
a point near Gresham or Ebeneez-
er, thence to Haskinsville, by the
nearest possible route, thence by
Camp Knox, through by Sherrod
Hatchers, on to Columbia, thus
cutting the distance between the
two towns to less than eighteen
miles. Then leta road be built

Our community is beginning to
realize the worth of united action,
of honest, intelligent effort. The
steps recently taken, the organ
ization of the Commercial Club,
sounds the warning to indeffence
and the old go-easy-way that
robs us all of the progress that
intelligence and energy should
enjoy. Pretended good will, pro-
fessed love and open endorse
ment of the move are not Suffi-
cient. 1t must have some of your
time, some of your money and
your talents to make it what it
ought to be and make it do what
it ought to accomplish.

Hypocrisy is one of the most
detestable forms of living that
can be imagined and wholly with
out excuse or justification. In
every sphere of life where it
manifests itself and in every in
dividual whose living and actions
are not genuine, the true and
real character of the individual
is fearfully detected in the minds
of those who abhor false appear
ance. Hypocrisy shows love and
good will but lives envy and ha-
tired; it breaches advancement
and progress, but withholds aid;
it talks philanthropy but covers
in miserly methods; it sings peace
but desires war. Cowardly, hate
full, disgusting, it is as hideous
in the welfare of a community as
truly as it is in the confines of a
Christian church, and in OR judg-
ment a more prevalent. The
man who talks Of lettering pub
lie conditions, who openly espous-
es progress and joins in any move
that means to advance the public
good, but withholds his just pro-
rata of time or money, is false;
and back Of it all, the real man
is found the dwarfed product Of
hypocrisy. Why any real true
man should refuse to impose a
just tax or grumble to pay it,
when good and lasting benefits
accure, we can not understand.
Why any man should refuse to
aid in lettering environments
cannot be explained outside of
the text of this article. Every
man owes a part of his time,
talents and means to the public.
The responsibility cannot be
lodged, though it may never be
performed.

luxurious tastes for the long

monster, that he may be called

the largest benefices in the world!
Yet, such are some of the money
magnates of the world, and such

not less despicable, imitators.

The dangers and discomforts
from high water along the Ohio
and its tributaries have passed,
and while damage to property in
many ways has been sustained,
yet no lives are reported lost.
In some of the Indiana towns it
took heroic work to save people
and property from the immense
volume water. When the an
nouncement was received that
the river was falling. there were
many happy hearts. In some in

WE'D, JAN. 80, 1907.

In all that is being said for and
against the railroad companies
in connection with the war on
rebates and unfair discrimination
in freight rates, nothing else is
more glazing than the jealous hy-
pocrisy of those who warn the
country against the evil results
of the fight now on. They say
that the railways are already
over-taxed with a tonnage to
which their equipment is wholly
inadequate. If capital, they say,
is made shy by the warfare now
being waged, the companies will
not be able to secure the needed
cars and locomotives. Does any
one really fear that the railways
will be damaged by having all the
hauling they can do at rates
which their own officials fix? And
with all the business a road is
able to do, can not it's owners f.
nance its equipment? We do not
believe that any considerable
number Of people can be deceived
by the arguments being put forth
by the offending roads and trusts.
1t is generally believed to be true
but very difficult to prove, that
railway companies and the larger
coal dealers combine to freeze
out the smaller coal dealers and
to drive them out of business or
into the combines. An effectual
way to do this has been found, it
is alleged, in the excuse by the
management of the roads that
they have not the cars to furnish
to the mines and shippers. Yet,
it is complained by the smaller
and the Independent shippers,
those dealers who are in the COM
bines can always get the cars
they want. One of the hopeful
signs of the times is, that the
eyes of the people are open to the
real cause and ground of the COM
plants in all such cases, and that
the danger to the whole country
of unduly Swollen fortunes" is
becoming apparent. What a sin
gular ambition it is for a man who
