they may not care for each other

Alvin peered eagerly into the older
woman's face, waiting her slow reply.
When it came the two young things
hung breathlessly on each word, their
faces growing dull with despair as
the fateful sentence fell.

hand and her voice trembled. =
Viola looked up suddenly, wonder
ingly, to see tears in her mothers
eyes. She was accustomed to her
mothers fiery sympathy for Others;
but this was the first time she had
ever heard her plead for herself. A
fleeting, hopeless look the child sent

and was still unanswered.
He turned to meet her mute scru-
tiny. His eyes were deep and tender,
his voice wooing. You're glad to
see me, aren't you, sweet Star?" He
threw his arm about her waist with
motion both swift and gentle, as
might be a panther mothers, and
kissed her on the forehead.
Don't, Gideon!' Stella cried,
breathless, struggling unavailingly, yet
not quite sorry that his arm did not
yield. Always with Gideon present
came the memory of their comradship,
a comforting sense of his strength, q
desire to lean upon him. II he would
only be content with brotherliness!
"Moppett, why do you push me
away? It's so long since I saw you.
II I were your brother by blood as
am by rearing, you'd take my kiss, and
kiss me back. Isn't the tie almost az
close? We've been so much more to
each other than ordinary brother and
sister" He dropped his arm and
stepped back; and the consideration,
the gentleness and regret in his tone
subdued Stella with quick contrition.
"Oh, Gideon, I don't mean to be
cold, unkind; but I'm afraid of-o1

He looked long into her face. Dear

adjective did not seem uniting when
he stood near her. Don't be afraid
Of me, Stella. L love you, and I want

But can't help it, Gideon. You

IA YERS MUST SHOW
Tax Commission Makes
Ruling Regarding Ex-
emptions

The following, from the Grand
Rapids Herald Review, applies to all
the COUNTIES in the state:
In order to secure the exemption of
800 on assessments levied on personal
property, as allowed by the law of this
State, the taxpayer will have to pre-
pare a verified list of all his belong
ings, to which he is required to make
sworn statement as to its accuracy.
This ruling was made by the tax
commission of the state, and the
attention OF County Auditor M. A.
Spang has been called to it by Frank
McVey, the chairman, It will be
enforced to the letter. According to
/ the opinion of Attorney General E..
T. Young, the county auditor cannot
give#the taxpayer Credit for 500
unlessfh6 property owner has made
this list and sworn to It.
Another matter to which Mr.. McVey
calls Mr.. Spang's attention is that the
property owner must make 9 listing Of
all creditors, which the assessor can
not Offset by indebtedness unless the
person assessed makess 2 verified list Of
the debts. That is, should = p6n1on

VACATIONS

The time to take a vacation is be-
fore one is exhausted. If one is dis
contented during his vacation, he
should take it, none the less, as a
matter of duty, not expecting to enjoy
every moment but contenting himself
with the anticipation of greater
pleasure in the resumption of his
duties. In the meantime we suggest
the daily use of a. good malt tonic,
such as golden grain belt beer: Taken
at mealtime, it will nourish your

ate your muscles Order OF your

LIGHTNING RODS PREVENT

From special reports received in
this Office Of three hundred and eighty
seven lightning fires in this state dur
ing the last five years, not one of
these structures were reported as hav-
ing been provided with lightning rod.
Forty odd companies represented in
the Indiana State Mutual Insurance
association reported year ago that
none had had loss on Hdded build
ing. A committee from che Nebraska
State association reported that proper
ly rodded buildings were never struck
and that two thirds of Nebraska farm
losses were from lightning. A light
ming rod mutual fire protective associa-
ton in Ohio coveringz& ZOO, 600 risks
has never paid one cQBt ST loss.
Lightning rodA nov made with
knoWledge of 41aracter of the
work that they Is do, and
scientific opinion<{5 unanimous that
they protect if properly erected.
The cheapest serviceable lightning
rod consists af star shaped galvanized
steel rod about One-half inch in
diameter. Rods made of twisted OF
braided copper wires to the thickness
of about one-fourth inch are equally
serviceable, last longer but cost a little
more A lightning rod should be
inserted sufficiently deep into the
ground to reach permanently moist
earth. It may be nailed or stapled
directly to the building, sharper
curves, than with radius Of one foot
should be avoided. It should start at
one end of the building, reach the
highest point, follow along such
highest point TO the opposite end and
down into the ground in the same
n1Adher as at the starting point. so
called points should be electrically
seeufed to the main rod and be well
sbtacsd to the Building, and SHOULD
reach up about three Or four feet above
the main rod. Ornaments should abe
avoided. The material for such rods
can now be had from all reliable hard
ware Q dealers. No patented devices
are necessary and any man with
ordinary mechanical ability can put
up serviceable rod. 2dz 800 : , "a. ::

MANY IN TOWN MARKET DAY.


Saturday was market day in this
city and the large number Of people in
town that day testified to the fact as
nothing could better. The day was
one of these beautiful spring days,
and besides this several Of the large
stores offered goods on this day at
extra low prices: The markets kept
their usual top notch prices on wheat
and all other farm products, and con-
sequently the farmers for miles around
saw that it was worth their while
to come to this city on that day, and
came. Both the merchant and the
farmer have come to realize the i'm
portance Of market day, and plan
accordingly, the merchant Offering low
prices on goods to get his share of the
business, and the farmer coming SO
as not to lose his share of the bargains
offered and to get the top prices for
his farm products.
