The Question Box.

What is the specific advantage to q
grange in becoming an Incorporated or
ganization?
The advantage Of grange incorpora-
ton Is that 1t gives the grange bust
ness standing. allowing it to buy. sell.
contract-in fact, do business as an
individual. The acts OF It's purchasing
agent are binding on the grange treas
ury and not on the members. If
purchasing agent Of a grange makes
bargain. 1t may be repudiated by an in
corporated grange and he held re-
sponsible. but IL given authority by an
Incorporated grange the grange is re-
sponsible az far as its treasury goes
and no further--that is, there Is no In
dlvidual liability.

I'm sorry, sis, after all you
said about the Importance ofthat
letter; but-well, I've had an aw-s
ful busy day Of it and | forgot to
mail it. Here it is.
Her arms were around his
neck in an instant. Yod dear,
darling, forgetful. absent minded
brother! she cried. as he looked
at her in amazement. Now that
you have forgotten to mail the
letter, just forget that ! asked
you 20 mailit.
And the brother. who dearly
loved Miriam, and knew from
her earnestness that it was i'm.
portant to her that he should say
nothing about the letter, kept
her secret faithfully. But he
marveled as the days went by
at her continued sweetness to
him until she told him of her
engagement, and then he ex-
planned the problem to him
self by saying that there was
nothing like requited love to
change a woman's disposition.
And to this day Miriam S brother
believes that her happiness in
loving and being loved saved him
from 9 scolding the day he forgot
to mail her letter. Miriam has
been married for ten years, and
in all that time has kept only
one thing from her husband.
That is the dark secret of the
letter that her brother forgot to
mail.

BALk AT CAUCUS EFFORT
vREELAND BILL OPPONENTS
DEMAND FREE ACTION.
IN Republican Conference They Re-
fuse to Be Bound to Vote for
Currency Plan.

Washington, May 6.-The staunch
est opponents of the Vreeland bill
made sure before participating in
Tuesday nights caucus Of the Repub.
lican members of the house that it
should have no binding effect and
they freely proclaimed their inten.
ton to leave the caucus If there was
not declaration to the effect that the re.
suit should not constrain them to vote
for the bill in the house. Immediately
after the caucus was called to order
the following resolution was intro.
duced:
Resolved that this meeting OF any
adjournment thereof is only a con-
ference and not caucus and it shall
not have the binding effect of a caucus
and that those who participate in Its
deliberations will be absolutely free
hereafter to act in accordance with
their own judgment with reference
to all matters considered by it."
In a speech in the house Tuesday
Mr.. Hitchcock of Nebraska charged
that the government had been cheated
out Of no less than $57,OO0,000 by the
sale by the interior department of
100000 acres of timber and stone
lands at the minimum price. He con
tended that whereas only $2.5S an acre
had been received much more could
have been obtained if the department
had not sold the land for the lowest
price fixed by law. Mr.. Mondell of Wy
oming said that while much Of the
land had become very valuable since
passing into private ownership, 1t was
doubtful whether any large proportion
of was worth more than the minimum
price at the time of its sale by the
government.

JEROME REFUSES JURY MINUTES.
New York Attorney Balks at Order to
Turn Over Evidence.

New York, May 6-District Attor.
ney Jerome said Tuesday that he
would go to Jail rather than comply
with an order received from Judge
Rosalsky that certain grand jury min
utes be filed with the clerk Of the
court of general sessions Mr.. Jer-
ONE made this statement at the hear
ing of charges against him before
Commissioner Hand, who was appoint
ed by Gov. Hughes to take evidence
in the matter of the King committees
charges that the district attorney had
failed to fulfill the duties Of his office.
The records which Judge Rosalsky or
dered filed with the court of general
sessions were those of the grand jury
which investigated the affairs of the
Metropolitan Street Railway system
last November. The effect of filing
these minutes with the clerk would
have been to make them public.

Barnett swung the illuminate in his

newborn infant. Back to his rock
went Barnett. Producing some cord
he let down an end.
"Tie the handkerchief on and get
out of the way" he directed.
