which time they increase in size from
about one-twentieth of an inch to as
much as three-quarters of an inch
long, the whole Of their substance and
nourishment being obtained from the

the grubs are fully grown they release
their hold on the horses stomach

FOUND A WAY
TO Be Clear Of the Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and I hardly think
there was an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him I felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis.
cussion he decided to give it up.
IT was q struggle because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It.
and then it was easy to leave of

NEW AFRICAN RAILROADS.
Two Across Nigeria Will Start Pro
duction of Cotton,

duction Of Cotton.
Several months ago an American
who has hived in Nigeria said in New
York that the climate and soil of that
large region are favorable for the cul.
tivation of cotton, but as yet there
is no encouragement to raise it be-
cause there are no railroads to carry
it to the sea.
The railroad is now to be supplied.
According to the American Geograph-
ical Society's bulletin it is to start
from Baro on the Niger river below
the rapids that impede navigation.
Vessels loaded with cotton brought
by rail to Baro may descend the Nj.
ger to Akassa, the port at its mouth,
where steamships may load the
freight for Europe.
The northern terminus of the rail.
road will be Kano, the great and
populous capital of Hausaland, some
500 miles from Baro by rail and not
far south of the Sahara desert. Kano
became known some sixty years ago
at the greatest manufacturing and
commercial center Of the western su.
dan. 1t is expected that the railroad
will largely increase its importance
The British government authorized
the building Of the railroad in August

CHAPTER XXI.
A M eeting.

Frank AlllSter, who with his sister
had gone to live in the North of Lon
don. studiously avoided the neighbor-
hood OF Remington He had plenty
to occupy his time and his thoughts
in new book for which he had receiv-
ed commission, and the serial rights
of which his literary agent had sold
for higher sum than the young
author had received for all the books
he had hitherto written.
A novel he had published year
previously had apparently fallen fiat.
The few notices that had appeared
had been short and unenthusiastic
and had done nothing to assure the
sale.
But one day literary journal dis
covered that it had great merit, and
the critic, who wrote a column and
half of praise, patted himself on the
back for having discovered a new writ
er who was before long to make his
mark. The journal was one of consid-
cradle weight and influence, and
Franks agent Immediately telegraph
ed his congratulations and put up the
price of his clients work
Within week he sent for Allister
and told him to get on with a new
novel at once, and named the sum he
had arranged for the serial rights
Frank went back to his sister radi-
ant The turning point had come, and
he believed that fame and fortune lay
before him.
The one drop OF bitterness in the
pleasant cup was that he could not go
May Wilson and tell her OF his success.
But his sister had been waiting for
some time to go over and see Mrs.
Cheney, for whom she had a very
sincere regard, and one day she went.
She was as proud as Frank of the rec
ignition of his talent that had come at
last, and she wanted everybody in
their little circle Of acquaintance to
know about it.
She went over to The Winery one
fine afternoon. and when she returned
in the evening she told Frank, among
other items of information from their
old home, that May Wilson was in
deep mourning for relative.
''And Mrs. Cheney can't make it out
at all, Frank, added Maggie Allister.
"She never heard May speak of rela.
time. no black-edged envelope came to
The Winery for May, and she has never
told Mrs. Cheney anything except that
It was a near relative who had died in
the country. Isn't it odd she should
be SO uncommunicative about it,"
Frank said nothing, but he thought
good deal.
That evening he found his mind
wandering as he sat at his work. May
had told him that she was a married
woman. She had not told Mrs. Cheney
land she called herself May Wilson.
There must have been some reason
for her separation from her husband;
some reason for her ,concealing the
fact that she was a wife. Was the
mysterious relative who had died fal
away from her her husband? Was
that the reason that she gave no par
ticulars to the landlady who took &c
great an interest in her, and whom he
knew she had always regarded as {
dear friend?
Speculation as to the mystery O
May Wilson's. mourning made It i'm
possible for him to fix his thoughts Of

New Ordinance To
Be Enforced.
Council Pass Stringent Resolution Al
Meeting Held Thursday Even
Marshall Instructed
to Do Duty.

CONTRARY to the words of Longfellow's
famous poem, the Curfew WILL Ring
Out. This is the most recent edict
made by the members of the village
council at meeting held this week.
For some time past there has been
an effort on the part of various persons
to get the council to revive the ancient
custom, but it was not until at the
recent meeting that the full attention
was given the matter.
AS the result of this consideration an
ordinance was made, authorizing the
observance of the custom and beginning
Monday evening, Nov, 23d, Marshall
Wahl, will at 8 p. m. sound three con-
secutive strokes on the city fire bell,
and the same is to be considered as the
councils signal for all youths and chill
dren to vacate the streets and find Sc
clnsion within their homes.
Should the marshall discover his
signal unobeyed, he has been vested
with the power to arrest and place
every individual within the city bastile,
unless such youth or child can furnish
sufficient proof that he or she is on the
street for another purpose than loiter-
ing or mere curiosity.
I The action of the council is COM
mendable one, and should be given the
hearty support of every individual and
parent in the village. During the past
few weeks our desk has been the re-
ceptical of numerous anonymous letters,
expostulating on the rank conditions of
the streets at night, through the per-
hitting of youths to roam at large with
no respect for law or order.
These of course like many other
epistles of their kind found their way to
the pigeon hole in waiting" until
such time as the writer would come
forward with his or her signature, which
in all cases must accompany articles of
this nature, but now we feel that with
the present action at hand, that the
conditions will be improved and thos g
who have love for all that makes 8
village pure and inviting, and the
laying of pavement for the up build
ing of our sons and daughters, will have
their wants and desires gratifed.
We are informed that there is to bt
no deviation from the rule once that il
is put into action.

Thanksgiving
Exercises.
wednesday Afternoon To Be Devoted
to Special Programs in All
Schools Of District.

Thanksgiving will beappropriately OBJ
served with special exercises in all the
departments of the High School and
also in the various outstanding schools
of the district.
During the past few weeks pupils
and teachers have been active in the
preparation of the different numbers
and from what we can learn it will be
well worth the time of as many as can
do SO, to take the afternoon off and de-
vote the time with the school children.
Every room, and in fact every school
will present recitations and music suit
able for the occasion, and that each
may feel his or her Importance, it is
only doing justice that all who can will
attend.
1t is with a feeling of regret on our
part that written list of all programs
were not obtainable in time for publ
cation, however, we take the pleasure
of giving our readers forerunner of
what will occurr in the kindergarten,
under the direction of Miss Roman.

its most popular townsmen had stole a
march on them and had joined the ranks

honors usually bestowed on such oc-
casions.
The gentleman in question is none
