There was a twinkle in the mans
eyes as he replied in an injured tone:
"Why, good Lord. Matte! I've come
1000 miles or more to see you, and
you ask me to take a chair just as If
I'd stepped i'm from across the way!
Can't you give a man little warmer
welcome than that?'
what shall do?" asked poor Miss
Matte.
"Well, you might kiss me for a
start" said he.
Miss Matte was all abroad. Still
ones half cousin, who has come such
a distance and been received so very
oddly, is entitled to consideration. She
raised her agitated face and for the
first time in her life realized the pleas
ure of wearing mustache.
Then Red Saunders, late Of the
Chanta Seechee ranch, North Dakota,
sat him down.
I'm obliged to you, Matte" he said
in all seriousness. ITO tell you the
truth, I felt in need of little comfort
ing-here I've come all this distance
and, of course. 1 heard about father
and mother-but l couldn't believe II
was true. Seemed as if they must be
waiting at the old place for me to
come back, and when l saw it all gone
to ruin Well, then I set out to find
somebody, and do you know, Of all the
family there's only you and me left!
That's all, Matte, just us two! Whild

Il shouldn't guess it was the liveliest
place in the world, by the look of it.

say myself. There's such q heap tC

enough to go anywhere farther than

taken fly at placer mining and hit
her to beat h-er-the very mischief"
Miss Matte looked first at the bar
barrie, splendid necklace and then at
the barbaric, splendid man. Things
grew confused before her in trying to
realize that it was real. What two
planets so separated in their orbits as
her world and his? She had the i'm
agination that Is usually lacking in
! small communities, and the feeling of
a fairy story come true possessed her.
"And now, Matte" said he, II don't
know what's manners in this part Of
the country, but I'll make free enough
ON the cousin part of it to tell you
that could look at some supper with

Miss Matte sprang up, herself again

Reckon I'll come in,' said Red.

1t was some time since Miss Matte
had felt that any one had cared enough

little kitchen.

Gold Pieces From
NickeIs.
HARD TO DETECT Fraud.

Dayton, O., Aug 22.-For some time
the police have been working hard to
find gang that has been passing spu-
rious coin on local people. Several
coins, so FURNISHED as to make them
appear to be five dollar gold pieces,
have turned up. They are nothing
but the old five-cent piece, which was
almost counterpart for the five-dol-
lar gold piece, in size. gold plated.
The old nickel did not have the word
cents" on the diverse, as the current
issue has. and the counterfeiters be-
gan thirty years ago to plate them and
mill the edges. They were accepted
by persons not familiar with coinage.
but as soon as an expert got one in his
hand he would know it. The coinage
dies were changed, so that the word
cents" appeared. and the spurious
coins disappeared. Some old counter
feiter has revived it, evidently.

NEW KIND OF CONTEST
Obed, Illinois, Residents, Try
ina to Exterminate
Rats.
ICE CREAM SUPPER PRIZE.

Nation, ILL.,, August 22.-Pie.eating,
quail-eating, fishing and rabbit killing
contests are not uncommon, but the
people of Obed, near Nation, ILL.,, are
now in the throes of a new kind of
contest that is engrossing the atten-
ton of the inhabitants of the little
town. The contest has for its object
the determination of rats, and every
man, boy and woman is busy with
gun, poison or trap.
The rats at Obed became so num-
erous recently" says citizen of
that place, that they threatened to
drive the people from their homes. 1t
was therefore decided to choose up
and hold a rat-killing contest. Ed
Cole was named captain of one team
and John Stump watched after the
interests Of the other faction. To
make the fight interesting, 1t was de.
cided that the side killing the least
number of rats should treat the win
ming team with an ice cream supper
and a band concert. The race will
end in a few days. Honors are now
about even and the finish is expected
to be exciting"

ALL WHITE DANCE
IS LATEST CRAZE
Novel Form of Entertainment
Finds General Favor In
Staid London.
EFFECT is VERY PRETTY.
ALL APPOINTMENTS MUST BE IN
WHITE AND FLOWERS AND
SOUVENIRS MUST CORES
POND IN COLOR.

London, August % "All-white"
dances are the latest original means
of entertaining guests.
The pretty idea was originated by
the Comtesse de Boisgal in Paris. and
the novel form of entertainment has
found favor in London. The ladies of
the party are requested to wear white
gowns and opera cloaks. Several
hostesses have asked their men
guests to appear in white dress.
The keenest competition is neces-
sary among the lady guests, as in
some cases a prize is offered for the
most elaborate snowy gown. One
debutante who won prize wore a
magnificent frock of white tulle en-
broidered with silver spiders webs.
The spiders were fashioned in pearls,
while the unwary flies were made of
silver sequins with crystal wings
The most elaborate evening cloaks
are a feature of the white balls They
can be made of brocade, silk or chif-
fon, but they must be in the same spot
less white.
A beautiful model, suitable for
white ball. was made of cloth Of sill
yer. with a deep collar of Duchess
point lace. and lined with hundreds
of tiny frills of white accordion-pleat-
ed chiffon. Another handsome de-
sign was made of white gauze. on
which enormous lilies were embroid-
cred in opal sequins.
The hostess who arranges a white
ball to perfection wreaths her ball
room with white blossoms The sup
per table must be massed with white
roses, the candles masked with silver
gauze shades. and even the constitu-
ents of the menu must be white.

Sour Mixtures Are Being Pre-
pared by Housewives
For Winter.
THE RAINS WERE HELPFUL.
BETTER CHANCES NOW FOR FULL
CROP OF SMALL cUcUMBERs-
VINES ALWAYS REQUIRE MUCH
CARE.

The arrival OF the time for the
canning of pickles and other va
rieties of sour mixtures naturally
evolves the question: Are there
plenty of pickles. onions, tomatoes.
mangoes. caulifiower, etc." For these
articles are all necessary for the
mixed pickles which are so popular
with so many people.
A forecast of the local pickle crop
would not be overly enthusiastic al
though at the present there is a
: chance for a fair crop at least. The
dry weather just experienced Is very
bad for the pickle but since the recent
moisture there Is more hope than ev-
err that the thrifty housewife will have
an abundant supply of pickles for
summer canning.
Local gardeners do not seem to be
paying as much attention as formerly
to raising the pickle and country peo-
pie produce in most cases just
enough for their own use. The cucum-

the vine is young 1t requires the al
/ most constant attention of the. grow

the vine in its infancy.
1t is often necessary to replant for

bugs will make short work of the ten

gets a good start it grows rapidly and
bears in almost any kind of soil.
When the vine is bearing nicely the
cucumbers must be picked every day
and in seasons when there is all the
rain that is needed big crop is al
ways the result.
This year not a great many pickles
have been seen on the local market
and although the time is not past for
canning it is here and should be done
before long.
The tomato plant has been doing
good work this year and there have
already been large quantities OF toma-
toes brought to the local market by
growers near the city. II anything

just as good and the vegetable as well
shaped as in previous years.
This crop is one of the most i'm

to the potato the tomato is valued as
a food by most people. Canning is
going on at the present and will con-
tinue for at least three weeks yet for
the plant bears until late in the sum-
mer. Gardeners generally make two
paintings, one for the early market,
and the other for the late marketing

WAYNE COUNTY IS
ON NARROW LINE
Will Be Governed by Chicago
Headquarters of RepubIi-
cans, But Near Edge.
DIVISION HAS BEEN MADE.
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION Decd
ED WHERE EACH STATE WILL
RECEIVE ITS INSTRUCTIONS
FROM DURING CAMPAIGN.

Chicago. Aug 22-An agreement has
been reached between Chairman Frank
H. Hitchcock and other officials of the
Republican National committee for a
geographical division of the RESPONSE
bilities of the campaign.
The states east of the Indiana line
and east and south of the Ohio and
Missouri river will be looked after by
the New York leaders.
All states west will fall to the care
of the Chicago headquarters.
Mr. Hitchcock will divide his time
between the two headquarters and
from time to time will visit different
parts OF the country.
The new division fixes the status of
Ohio which has been in the east some
years and in the west during other
years.
Arthur I. vorys and State Chairman
Williams are directing the campaign
in that state, but they will call on New
York headquarters for financial aid,
speakers and literature.
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri
were under Chicago four years ago,
but now the campaign in those states
will be directed from New York.
Victor Rosewater, publisher of the
Omaha Bee, member of the national
committee, and also a member of the
eyacrtiye comm jttee TODAY was named
as director of the western literary
bureau, and will have his Office at the
Chicago headquarters.

FRUIT To
Be PLENTIFUL
Banner Year for Apple Crop in
Reliable Counties of
New York.
MORE FRUIT TO BE EATEN.
ADVANCED PRICES OF MEATS
AND PROVISIONS WILL MAKE
FRUIT RELIED UPON BY MANY
PERSONS.

It is good news no doubt, to low
ers of that staple fruit, the apple,
that this year promises to be a banner
one in its production. New York
shippers estimate that, the present
season will furnish the largest supply
at the lowest prices that the public has
seen in several years. Strangely
enough, the producer will not share in
the general happiness of the announce
ment. for in spite of the larger supply
of this national favorite fruit, it is
claimed. he will not profit by it. This
is explained by man quoted by the
New York Evening Post, who says
that hard times tend to raise the price
of meats and vegetables, but to de-
crease the price of fruits When a
mans income is cut or his employ
ment fails entirely he will buy only.
the so-calied necessities and let lux
uries alone. 1t may be argued that
for his own good the man short OF
cash might better let meat alone and
buy fruit, particularly in warm wealth
er, but the fact appears to be that he
does not do so. So it comes about
that in this year of slow industrial re-
covery and of large apple supply,
prices are low, at least in the east,
and what the consumer gains the pro-
Queer loses
In spite of the large territory COM
ing under cultivation each year and
the larger number of people to buy
them. America produces less than
half as many apples annually now as
she did decade ago. The American
Agriculturist says that the crop for
the years 1S94-5-6 averaged $4,000, 900
bushels of apples. that for 1905-6-7 av-
eraged but 100000 New York city
alone used $4,000 barrels week in
the fall and an average Of $4,000 @
week for the rest of the year.
