itself with inimitable abandon. and
suddenly, mysteriously alarmed at

shasow that fed across the street and
vanished. And, as if affected by its
terror, the gray girl slipped silently
into the area and tapped at the lighted
window.

button on the wall. she switched on

She drew up a chair and sat down

Running q Newspaper.

Running newspaper is just
like running hotel, only differ
ent. When man goes into ho-
tel and finds something on the
table which does not suit him,
he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his
old hotel. Well, hardly. He sets
that aside and wades into the
dishes that suit him. 1t is differ
ent with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly
and, without stopping to think it
may please hundreds of other
readers, make grand stand play
and tell the editor how a paper
should be run and what should be
put into it, but such people are
becoming fewer every ycar.-EX.

the total crop was 2,666,000.000 bushels
or this crop 241.000,O00 bushels were
consumed In the -four and grist mills J;
100000 In manufacture of starch, o.
100000 for malt liquors. 100000 In

only 1913 per cent of the entire crop,
