CHAPTER II.

IN ZIMMERMAN pushed back HIS
Id chair a few inches, shifting posi-
ton the better to benefit of 4
faint air that famed in through the
open window. Maitland, twisting the
sticky stem of a liquor glass between
thumb and forefnger. sat in patient
waiting for the lawyer to speak.
But Zimmerman was in no hurry; his
mood was rather one contemplative and
genial. He was a round and clerubic
little man. with the face of a guileless
child, the acumen of a successful coun-
sci for soulless corporations Chat is to
say, of a high orderl, no particular
sense of humor, and a great %appreeia-
ton of good eating. And Maitland was
famous in his day as one thoroughly
conversant with the art of ordering a
dinner,
That which they had just discussed
had been uncommon in all respects
Maitland's scheme. of course, and his
specification as to details had roused
the admiration of the Primordials chef
and put him on his mettle. He mad
outdone himself in his efforts to do
Justice to Mr.. Maitland's genius; ana
the Primordial in it's deadly conserYat-
ism remains to this day one of the very
few places in New York where good,
sound cooking is to be had by the ini-
tiate.
Therefore Bannerman sucked
fully at his cigar and thought fondIy
OF a salad that had been to ordinary
salads as his S0-H. r. car was to an
electric blackboard. While Maitland,
with all time at his purchase, IDLY
fioked the ash from his cigarette and
followed his attorneys meditative gaze
out through the window.

THAT FALSE REPQRT.

There is a class of news fakers in this country who seem to be devoid of sense and conscience. and it is sur prising that they can get their base less, sensational statements in print. The report that Theodore Roosevelt was dead had no foundation whatever and the source of it cannot be discov- cred. An exchange says: Suspicion has been aroused that the report was concocted by unknown individuals to serve ulterior purposes. An intimation has beeP given that stock spectators may have been responsible for the { canard. It is certain that, whatever the motive, the false statement was given world wide publicity and caused universal apprehension. So reach ing were the reports that the news papers of this country and of all of the large centers of Europe were forced to take notice of the rumor. Their ut most endeavors, under the circum- stances, made 1t possible for them merely to discredit the report, for they could not absolutely deny it because of the fact that the Roosevelt party was out of touch with any point of immediate communication"
 These sensational stories. told with malicious intent, are altogether too common, and they will never be stop ped until a law is made to bring to grief those who give the newspapers false reports from selfish or other mo- tiVes.

A CAUSE FOR suIcInE.

It is rarely that a suicide can give an acceptable reason for destroying his life. Of all the curious reasons given for suicide, New York mans leads, for he put an end to his existence be- cause he became conscious that he was just ordinary" This is "a case where little self -conceit might have saved 8 life. What is being just or dinary,'' any way? The man who is healthy, industrious, kind to his fam ily and d credit to himself and all related to him is not an ordinary" in the walks of life, for he is just as good as the best. The everyday good citizen is the man who makes the. re- public great and prosperous and de- .fends 1t against its enemies. There is no just ordinary remark that fits the workers and the doers of a great land like this. The average American citizen is good deal of a man, and that is why in, many exigencies in life
 in both military and civil life-it has been said that every man was a captain" This poor fellow looked at himself through his megrims and didn't like the .picture-he seemed un- worthy. appeared to himself distorted, and 'foolishly ventured to make an end of 1t all
 To be an everyday citizen is no re- preach. for free citizenship calls for the highest average of indfvidualized manhood and we have in our citizens men who in the mass are capable of as great achievements as the same number of men anywhere

Pick over and wash perfectly sound Concord grapes rejecting all that have softened or are too green. The stems do not matter. Put into stone jar. and set this in a large pan of cold water to near the depth of the jar. With a wooden spoon crush lightly as they begin to- cook, at the same time pushing the grapes from the top of the jar toward the bottom. Cook about two hours, or until the grapes are soft and the seeds loosened. Pour into a large cotton or cheescloth bag to drain. Do mot press or squeeze, or the iuiee will be cloudy. Have ready perfectly clean and well sterilized bot ties with the patent china or metal tops. If you do not have these, be sure the corks are new soaking them first in cold water so that they can be pressed in tightly. Rehest the juice to the boiling point cook steadily half an hour. removing all scum as 1t rises to the surface.

PUTTING A ROAD TO TEST.

The new Berlin turnpike which was opered recently and pronounced by Stste Highway Commissioner Mac Donald as the best road in the state, has since it's opening been subjected to such excessive use that it has amounted to abuse, therefore the commissioner has felt constrained to call attention to the fact that "a new road from the very nature of its com ponent parts, requires an opportunity to set, or season. The bond used in assembling the stone is water, dust and compression. The cementic prop critics of the traprock used in the construction of every macadam road in the state are lime and iron. An opportunity should be accorded every new road properly to season before it is subjected to the rigid stress of trav- el. All of this is intended to call att tention to the fact that if the users of this road, in driving automobiles, will keep within the speed limits, they will materially assist in keeping this road in a splendid state of repair for all time.
 This road is not race course. It is not for one particular class of us- CTS It is for the general publics use for all time. Therefore, it should have fair play in it's use. In this sconnec- ton, I think it only fair to say that the broad and liberal policy of the state in the construction of splendid system of highways and expending millions of dollars in the improvement of our roads, and also in allowing non residents to come in and occupy and enjoy our highway system, should prompt these gentlemen to keep with in the law, and they should be in- formed that no violation of the law will be permitted. am reasonably safe in this conclusion. having watched as student, the destructive forces at work upon our state roads, and hav- ing noted that if an automobile is not travelling to exceed the speed limit. the injury of the road resolves itself into a minimum

CIRCULATION
THE OCTOBER FAILURES.

The aggregate of the failures dur ing the month of October were three million less than for the corresponding month last year, which shows a posi- tive gain in business. R. G. Dun & Co. point out in comparing the dif- ferent lines of business in the manu- featuring class that in only three of the fifteen classes were the year-lumber, clothing and milling. In the first there is a considerable de- crease in the liabilities as compared with last year and the year before, but in clothing the defaulted indebt- edness is much larger than last year, although less than in 1907. In mill ing liabilities are smaller than in any year back to 1905. In the other class es, in which failures are more numer- ous than last year, there are several which show decided improvement as regards defaulted indebtedness, nota- bly, printing and engraving, in which 327s.27S compares with $1,02o,25S last year; leather, harness and shoes, s43,- 341 against $509,T34: liquors and to- bacco, $95,207. against $257,721. and in "all other" s1,09S,132- against $3,- 1242S4. Tn the trading failures five classes were fewer in number-gen- eral stores, liquor and tobacco cloth ing, furniture and crockery, hardware, stoves and tools-and in each of them liabilities were smaller than last year. Of the other ten classes. liabilities were smaller than last year in hotels and restaurantsS shoes, rubbers and franks, paints and oils, and jewelry and clocks. In the class embracing brokers and transporters the i'm provement was very pronounced both in number and amount of defaulted liabilities"

NO PLACE FOR A LIVE MAN.

The assistant secretary for the de- pertinent of commerce and labor has resigned because there is no chance there for young man to show what is in him. If Ornlsby Welfare is right: and presumably he is. the semi fossilized assistant is more appreciated in federal office than a man with practical ideas who might facilitate business if not improve things. The reason he resigned is made clear in the following statement:
 f'The man who goes into a govern mentl department finds himself bound down by a wilderness of red tape, against which it practically is impos- sible to struggle. If he attempts to change these conditions, he is charged with being sensational and seeking mo- toriety This is one reason why there is 25 per cent. of inefficiency in gov ernment service. Men who come in eager to do big things throw up their hands and abandon any attempt to fight an established system. l have done all could to help promising young men whom I have found in the service, and in some instances l have succeeded in getting them out of the service entirely, and into other work more suited to their talents
 This in effect is an indictment of a mans "superiors,' and it is not likely to have any effect upon them. Mir Welfare does well to get out; and the live young man ought to know bet ter than to try to get intG such a

NEW TABLE SILVER.

E All of the latest knives and forks have handles of silver which have en-
 tirely superseded the white handles of ivory and mother of pearl The silver is found to be more substantial and is less likely to be spoiled or broken by constant use. Silver platters also take precedence over the ones of china for the serving of all meats, poultry and fish, as they. hold the heat better and insure the serving of these courses pip ing hot, a thing not possible with china.
 1t is not customary abroad to place half dozen knives and forks of vari- ous designs, some for fish and some for fowl and some for no one knows what, alongside the plates before a dinner is begun. But for each course as' it is removed the waiter brings the "toop for the next. Not only is this
