campina Out De Lux.

Camping out has ceased to be what
its name implies. Camps, nowadays,
have all the modern improvements"
all the luxuries of life, and the Abodes
themselves are constructed of we'll
joined boards, heavy sail cloths, and
furnished with every personal luxury.
The sole benefit of such camping" is
the location in some piney forest,
without fear of fires, near by tumb-
ling brook or silvery cascade. If this
coigne Of vantage can be attained, the
campers put up with black flies and
mosquitoes and pursue their daily avo-
cations according to the new idea of
the simple life. The childrens camp
is a most complicated affair, remarks
the Boston Herald Trained nurses,
governesses, amusement teachers"
cooks and housemaids, or in this con-
nection they should be called camp
maids, form a large establishment,
though considering the pampered
youngsters who are entrusted to their
care, these are none too many. Little
boys Of seven or eight require con-
slant oversight, and in the girls
camps, there is always a chaperon to
direct and guide the sports and act in
loco PARENTS. 1t is said that this sort
of turning out to grass" has worked
miracles with delicate city children,
while an incipient athlete of II years
finds the sports, the rowing and the
swimming exactly to his mind. Youth
is quite Indifferent to the niceties, and
time is of no earthly use to healthy
boy and girl save as it refers to meals.

HOW TO TELL PURE WATER.
Simplest Way. Is That Called the
Hirsch Test.

People not infrequently come home
from a summer vacation if not with
typhoid, at least with bad malaria
or stomach disorders.
This is often caused by impure wa
ter, and it is well, especially in going
into the country, where wells are used.i
to know few simple tests by which
the condition of the water can be-
told.
About the simplest is one that il
well known, called the Hirsch test.
Buy pint bottle of clear glass, pref
erably with a glass stopper. Fill it
two-thirds full with water, to which
is added a Tablespoonful of granu-
lated sugar.
Cork the bottle tightly and stand in
a light in a warm room for 4S hours.
If at the end of that time the water
is cloudy or milky-looking it is unfit
for use.

pered. "You must pay yo' own bills, and
book yo'self, honey. Don't ask me
why!" he added as she opened her lips
to speak.
Instantly he was gone, leaving her
to puzzle out the matter for herself.
But the need for assembling her re-
lations with Uncle Billy, whom she
had known longer than any one living
save Gideon, did not dawn upon her.
Supper alone was less an ordeal
than she had expected. On her return
to her room she met the hall boy and
ordered pen and paper. She had bare
ly seated herself to write when a dis
patch interrupted her; it was ad-
dressed to William Dodge, and was

In the reaction of relief she wrote a
short, almost happy letter to Alfred
sending it to post by the hall boy. The
next day they faced homeward. Nc
other passenger shared the box seat
with Stella; and leisurely, little shy
ly, she told Uncle Billy of her plans for
school, and received his advice, heart
felt, if not always wise
At Dutch Flat she stopped to visit
an acquaintance, timing her home
going for Uncle Billy's next trip, hop
/ ing vainly that Alfred would be with
him. 1t was indeed Homecoming
Days only she had been away; they
seemed weeks. Sally B., Viola, Yis

Pineapple Salad.

Pineapple in any form makes one
Uf the most deliciops summer salads.
Instead of cutting it in cubes, how
ever, and serving it either alone or
with celery, try combining the pine
apples and orange. The latter gives
an intangible flavor that is quite diff
ferent from either of the fruits used
singly.
Cut the pineapple into quarter inch
cubes. Divide the oranges into sec
tons, skin each one carefully and cut
it in half.
Chill the fruit on ice for half an
hour and serve on hearts Of lettuce
with mayonnaise mixed through tho
fruit.

Alvin, L" She grew cold again, and
was silent.
Tactful Alvin said nothing, but push
ing a chair behind her pressed her
gently into it. He did not release her
hand, but stroked it softly, waiting for
her to speak.
Suddenly she started up. This was
the thirtieth, and-a week, the letter
had said! And she did not know how
far the answer was to go. Precious
time had already been wasted. 1t
was ages since she read those awful
words. She must do something, tell
some one, get help. Alvin! He was
the one. She put the letter in his
hand. Read it, quicki" she com
manded.
He complied, starting at the first
words, then reading on quietly, through
the postscript directions, and ending
with a careful scrutiny of the en-.
velope. Stella watched him anxiously
wondering, even in her preoccupation
at the maturity and wisdom that came
into his face at emergency's CALL "Oh
Alvin, there must be some way be
side-beside obeying. How can / dc
that? Yet how can l be Alfred's-

China, a Collection Of Nations.

China is not nation in the sense in
which we ordinarily use the word. If
we picture to ourselves the countries
of Europe, with their different Ian
guages and different customs, drawn
together into loose confederation un-
der the government of a Holduering
race, We shall have some small con-
ception of what this Chinese nation"
really is. The peoples of these diff
ferent European countries are all eau
Easians; the different peoples of China
are all Mongolians. These Chinese
peoples, writes Samuel Merwin, in
Success Magazine, speak Is or 20 dis
tinct languages, each divided into al
most innumerable dialects and sub
dialects. They are governed by Man
chu, or Tartar, conquerers who spring
from a different stock, wear different
costumes, and speak among them
selves a language wholly different
from any of the Is or 20 native
tongues.

CHAPTER xxi.
A Heart for a Life.

In the depressing loneliness of a
strange hotel Stella's fears returned.
multiplied by the hours they had
rested. Impatiently she paced the
small room. She had no watch to
count the minutes. But that the sun
still shone on the mountain above her,
she would have declared it already
night.
/ Where was Uncle Billy? Why hadn't
he come to take her to dinner?
| Innocent Stella! She knew nothing
of Mrs. Grundy's code; suspected no
whit of the reason for Uncle Billy's
aloofness. In ColfaX, under Sally BIS
powerful wing, where Uncle Billy was
known and approved, no one would
have dared a breath against her. But
it was very different in this feverish
city. Good women were few. Honest
men, toiling for loved ones away.
1ostled the blackleg, the gambler, the
man of many aliases; and petticoated
vice preyed upon it's authors, and
sorely beset clean hearts as well. A
beautiful friendless girl must indeed
be hedged by angels if she were to run
safely the gantlet of this "wickedest
city in the world"
She left her room and wandered
about in search of the parlor; came
upon it at last-small, stuffy and
possessed by several overdressed, be-
diamonded women, who stared at her
brazenly and openly commented on
her. AS from pestilence, she fled to
her own corridor again, hesitating be-
fore her door. But vanquished by
thought of the desolation within, she
dropped the key in her pocket and
began walking the narrow hall, darker,
emptier than her room, but open at
either end to human approach. Here
the hall boy found her, bringing a
message from Uncle Billy to meet him
in the parlor.
Stella thought of it little resentful-
ly as she hurried on, recalling the in
hospithble occupants. But they were
gone; and at sight of Uncle Billy's
CHEEKY face she forgot they had ever
been.
He came to her with outstretched
hands. "As 1 told you, honey, Vim

FEWER GUARDS AT TRIAL.
Jurors Told for First Time OF Shoot
ing of Heney.

San Francisco, Nov. 1s.-Fewer
guards were about the court room
this morning when the Ruef trial was
resumed At the beginning the judge
admonished the jurors that they must
pay no attention to Fridays shooting
He declared the transaction" was
entirely outside the issues in the
trial. The court told the jury about
the shooting and Haas suicide.
Jim Gallagher, leader of the boodl-
ing supervisors, was the first witness
cross-examined. He told the whole
story of the graft on direct examina-
tion.
The first question asked by Attor.
ney Ach for Ruef was whether the
witness had talked with the new at
torneys for the prosecution. He said
he had attended a conference of the
attorneys for the prosecution and that
they gave him a copy of his testi-
mony at the last trial.
Ach led Gallagher over his entire
period of acquaintance with each
member Of the boodling board of su-
pervisors who will be witnesses
against Ruef. On several occasions
Ach interrupted the witness, saying
his testimony today was different
from the testimony in former trials,
but Ach failed to break down his tes-

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Several
citizens are today preparing charges
of incompetency to present against
Chief of Police Biggy at the next
meeting of the police commissioners,
according to Detective Burns. The
charges are the outgrowth of the
suicide of Haas, who tried to murder
Heney. 1t is charged that the police
were negligent in guarding Haas.
A verbal encounter between Attor-
Ley ]. j. Webb. representing Biggy,
and Langdon and Burns, occurred
yesterday after the coroner's jury had
viewed the body of Haas and wit
messed a demonstration of the posi-
bility of hiding the derringer pistol
in the shoe of the dead man. Webb
objected to Burns questioning De-
tective Tom Burke, who had assisted
Burns in the first search of Haas.
III the wrangle which resulted Lang
don charged Biggy with attempting
10 Llack the investigation.
The body of Haas was exposed te
the jurymen. and the pistol with
which Haas ended his life was placed
in one Of the congress CATERS which
the dead man had on at the time
he killed himself. Each juryman was
instructed to pass his hand over the
shoe as n searcher would have done
and all said that they could not have
failed to notice the presence of the
weapon.
District Attorney Langdon, Chief OF
Police Biggy. Detective Burns. Police
Commissioner Cutler and Police Cap
tains Duke and Kelly were all pres
ent at the investigation. Detective
Sergeant Thomas f. Burke began the
with a demonstration of
how it was claimed Haas had secured
the derringer by hiding it in his shoe.
Webb Told TO Keep Still.
Detective Burns started to question
Burke, when he was Interrupted by j.
j. Webb, an attorney This precipi-
tated questions as to Webb's connec-
tion with the matter the latter stating
that he had been hired to watch out
for certain interests but refusing to
state who had hired him. The coro-
ner finally declared that Webb had no
right to take part in the investiga-
tion and ordered him to remain quiet.
Later another attorney, j. II. Sey-
mour. of Los Angeles. who was first
employed by Mrs Haas, but whose !
present connection with the case is |
not clearly shown. attempted to enter !
into proceedings ELECTED a sharp at /
tack from Langdon, who asked Chief !
Biggy If he thought himself on trial |
H. rtimating thereby his belief that |
Seymour or Webb. or both of them, !
had been retained by Biggy.
The inquest on Haas body will be |
held on Thursday and in the mean
time the body will repose in the re-
reiving vaults of Odd Fellows GENE
terry as Coroner Leland ordered to-
right that 1t should not be buried or
aiemated until after the jury had rem
iered its verdict. The investigation
threw little or no light on the mooted
question as to the time and manner
in which Haas secured the weapon
with which he killed himself.

NEEDED RAIN WELCOMED
BY UMATILLA FARMERS

Little drops of water"-in this
particular instance make little grains
of wheat and as the result of splen-
did rain today the farmers of Uma-
tilla county are greatly rejoicing.
The wheat is for the most part in
good condition although some of it
had sprouted and needed moisture
badly to keep it from rotting. In the
higher uplands to the south the wheat
has had more moisture and is in
fine condition. but generally over the
county the ground is dryer than 1t
has been in 10 years with the result
that not only today's but several more
days of rain would be welcomed by
the wheatgrowers.
