The Admission Goblet.

The Admission branch Of the Dundas
family possesses a curious Venetian
goblet, and, like the famous "luck" of
Eden Hall, they believe that their
prosperity depends upon its preserva-
ton. 1t was given by his mother to
Sir James Dundas in the reign Of
Queen Mary, with an injunction to
preserve it carefully or misfortunes
would attend the family. 1t once had
a miraculous escape from destruction,
for a very eccentric peeress, who for
some unknown reason owed the family
a grudge, co~ncealing her sinister fnten-
lions, asked to be allowed to see it,
and when it was handed to her she de-
liberately threw it on the ground.
Every one present held his breath, ex-
pecting to see it shivered into frag-
ments, but, strange to say, it did not
break, and it is still preserved intact

Little realizing that the girl was
speaking in his own favor, for he
knew not the need for such speaking,
he believed her to be defending her
father. He grasped her hands i'm

"Then they lied. They said you were

you sold out On Altacoola. They said
you were trying to make money on

"What! They said I was crooked"
Haines fairly shouted. He rushed
around the desk and caught the girl
by both hands.

Eat What
You want of the food YOU ''eed
Kodol will digest Is

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomachif
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suf1c-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

she said. You won't want to see
him"
Haines rose.
"No, l won't want to see him. Give
him this note. I'll have to come back
while he's away to clear up some
things. Goodby."
Haines bowed and hurried from the
room through a side doorway just as
| Senator Langdon came in through the
main entrance.
Bud, Bud" he called, but the sec
rotary did not halt.
Carolina Langdon stood with HaineS'
note in her hand, wondering at what
she had done. She regretted having
become entangled in the wars of men
in Washington. She saw that the
mans game was played too strongly.
too furiously fast, for most women to
enter, yet she rejoiced that the coveted
fortune had not been lost. She was
sorry that her means Of saving it had
not been less questionable. She saw
that ambition and honesty, ambition
and truth, With difficulty follow the
same path.
Senator Langdon's face was unusual
ly grave as he camc to greet Carolina.
Lines showed in his face that the
daughter had never noticed before.
She saw Norton and Randolph, who
had followed him, exchange significant
glances-jubilant glances and Won
dered what new development they had
maneuvered.
"He's gone without a word," the SEN
ator sighed. "Well, perhaps that's
best"
"He left a note for YOU" said the
girl, handing him the letter which
Haines had given her.
Langdon opened it and read:
L am giving up the job. You can under
stand why. The least said about it be-
tween US the better. 1 am sorry. That's
all. BUD uAINES.
Slowly he read the letter Il second
time.
"And he was making the best kind
of a secretary. 1 thought
Divining that something against
Haines had been told her father, Caro-
lima glanced at Norton.
81 told your father how we caught
Mr.. IIaines." he spoke as an answer
to her.
The girl was startled. She had not
thought that things would go this far.
81 told him how Haines wanted to
get in some land speculation scheme
with Altacoola, kpw we tricked him
and caught him with the goods when
he made the proposition to me and
how we forced him to confess"
"You told father that?" gasped Caro-
lima.
Norton nodded.
81 don't understand it," said Lang
don. ITO think that he was that
kind!'
Son Randolph now took his turn in
the case against the secretary.
1--WE were both here, father. I heard
him-Carolina heard him." he said.
Didn't you, Carolina?"

The senator turned to his desk bent
and discouraged.
81 suppose 1 should have taken a
secretary who was a %southerner and q
gentleman. Well, Randolph, you'll
have to act now. Take this letter.
The young man sat down and took
the following from the senator's dicta'
ton:

and the impossibility of your continuing
in my employ. The least said about Il

"Tm going to ask you still another

how quickly the brightness of life

The state could ave exhibited its mineral wealth il this

President Roosevelt Claims that Power

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt today sent a special mes
sage to the house with his veto of the
bill providing for the construction OF
dam across the James river in Stone
county, Mo-, the purpose of the dam be-
ing to get water to create electric
power. He declared that the move
ment to centralize the water power of
the country is still in it's infancy. but
that unless 1t is controlled the his
tory OF the oil industry will be re-
peated in the hydro-electric power in
dustry with its resources far more inn
pressive and disastrous for the people.
Strategic Position Taken.
1T is true" he added, that the great
bulk of our potential water power is
as yet undeveloped but the sites which
are now controlled by combinations as
those which offer the greatest ady an
tages and therefore a strategic posi-
tiOn."
He says that the bills give the gran
tee valuable privileges. which In its
very nature is monopolistic and does
not contain the conditions essential to
protect the public interest.
II consider myself bound" he con-
tinues, las far as my executive power
will allow to do for the people. in pre-
venting of monopoly of their re-
sources, what l believe they would do
for themselves If they were In posi-
ton to act"
The message came at the close of
the day and was received indifferently.
After its reading it was referred to
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce.
