BRUSHES FOR BL00DED
HERD OF JERSEY COWS

shoap, who is heavily interested In
the Metropolitan street railway OF New
York, and who owns a 15O-acre farm in

chased twenty -four coats for his $4,000
herd of cows.

coverings on them every morning TO pro-
tect them from flies.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.--A note of warn

dieting a bumper crop Of wheat in the

Hu in an interview today.
Much harm will be done to the busi-

overspeculation by the statements sent
broadcast that the northwest Will mar
vest a bumper crop, according to the
railroad magnate.
"I believe the northwest will harvest
a crop about 50,OOOOO0 bushels larger

CRlTICISES ACT

MAGAZINE ESPOUSES CAUSE
OF LABOR LEADERS
American Federationist, in Symposium
of Opinions, Takes to Task Judi
eiary Which Dealt with Com
pers and Mitchell
IRv Associated Preas.1

WASHINGTON. Aug 27.-Interest
was aroused here by the advance
copies of the American Federationist,
containing an article entitled Labor
Days Duty of the HoW.r There was
discussion as to whether the article
which contains expressions of opinion
by men prominent in labor circles, con-
stituted contempt of court.
The views were upon the decision of
District Supreme Court Justice Wright
adjudging in contempt of court Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison
When the article was shown to JUS
tice Gould he said:
Il see nothing in the articles that
could be termed contempt Of court. A
man has a right to make comment
upon the decision of a supreme court
Judge, providing he does not impute
improperly or improper motive. In
other words, a man has a right to say
what he thinks Of a decision. Con-
tempt of court will lie where one de-
liberately violates an injunction"
Leaders Express Opinions
1.-THE liberty Of a citizen is reason
ably safe" declares John Mitchell in
the symposium, 'in the keeping of
twelve fellow citizens. 1t should not
be intrusted to any one man, 1t mat
ters not whether he be monarch, Judge
or layman. The power to convict and
imprison citizens of the United States
should neither be forced upon the
judges Of our courts nor arrogated by
them"
Frank Duffy general secretary Of the
United Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners, says:
"If JUDGES can legally defame and
orally abuse in expressing opinion or
stating assumed, invented, assisted or
established facts, are they above bias
and prejudice or readiness to grant ap-
peal in behalf OF dominant ToWers?"

CHAPTER v.

CHAPTER v.
(N1HE church bells were ringing
their frst warning FOR the
I'LL morning service when Mandy
" peeped into the spare bedroom
for the second time and glanced eau
ttously at the wisp Of hair that bespoke
q feminine head somewhere between
the covers and the little white pillow
on the four poster bed. There was no
sound from the sleeper. 80 Mandy ven
tured across the room on tiptoe and
raised the shades. The dropping
boughs Of autumn foliage lay shim-
mering against the window panes, and
through them might be seen the gray
outline Of the church. Mandy glanced
again toward the bed to make sure
that the burst Of sunlight had not
wakened the invalid, then crossed to
. small, rickety chair laden with the
discarded finery Of the little circus
rider.
"Lawdy sakes!'' she cried, holding
up spangled dress admiringly. Amt

mirror, attempting to see the redec-
ton Of the tinsel and chiffon against
her very ample background of ging-
ham and avoirdupois. You'd sure be

she chuckled to herself. "Wouldn't
dem deacons holler II dey done see
dat?'
The picture Of the deacons' aston
ishment at such spectacle 80 grew
upon Mandy that she was obliged to
cover her generous mouth to shut in
her convulsive laughter lest It awaken
the little girl In the bed. She crossed
to the old fashioned bureau which FOR
many months had stood unused against
the wall. The drawer creaked as she
opened 1t to lay away the gay. span
gled gown.
''It'Il be q mighty long time afore
she puts on dem t'ings g'in." she said,
with q doubtful shake Of her large,
round head.
Then she went back to the chair and

Of exploding with laughter as the
church bell added few final and
more emphatic clangs to its warning.
She turned, with a start. motioning a
vain warning out Of the window for
the bell to be silent, but the little
sleeper was already stirring uneasily
on her pillow. One soft arm was
thrown languidly over her head. The
