CHAPTER XIII.

A little after six in the morning. The
April sun has just succeeded In breaking
through the morning mist, and the all
still has a crackle Of frost In it. Al
the foot of small knoll, surmounted by
a little clump of Scotch fir, stand thre1
men, engaged in earnest conversation
Carefully sheeted, with stable boys or
their backs, some seven or eight thorough
breds pace majestically round and round
the little hillock. On the side these men
are standing, stretches a considerable ex
panse of velvety turf-down. A series oi
slender white poles mark out a wide oval
road, somewhere about a mile In circum
ference. That broad, green, ribbon-like
track is what is termed the Mannersley
Gallop, and the ground upon which Mr.
Pearman's horses take their daily exer.
else.
The gentleman In the pepper-and-salt
suit, single-breasted coat, longish waist.
coat and low-crowned hat, is Martin Py,
croft, trainer. He fiddles with the ash
plant in his hand and seems rather to
demur to something that his companion
Sam Pearman-seems to Insist on.
AS for the third member of the confer
ence, bright, wiry, dark little man, he
looks as If his opinion must be asked
pretty decidedly before he intends commit
ting himself on any point. He is jockey
of some considerable eminence in his pro-
fession.
Cant do any harm, Martin. He might
Just as well have a spin with the old
horse as go his usual gallop."
"Well, I'd rather Mr.. Pearman wait
till he is quite wound up before trying
him. You must do as you please, sir.
No horse can be doing better; but contin-
ually trying does take the heart out of
them, you know, sir"
"Of course 1t does; but mind, we
haven't galloped Coriander beside another
this year. We suppose him to be quite
as good and better than he was last au-
tumn, but we've never ascertained. I
mean to know this morning."
In the meantime the string has halted,
the sheets are removed, and then, led by
the head lad on a veteran Of four seasons
standing, the youngsters proceed In In
dian file round the course at a half-speed
, gallop. Then comes more walking for
twenty minutes or so, succeeded by an
other steady canter, towards the finish of
which the pace is considerably improved
the rate of progression being always
regulated by the rider Of the leading
horse, who has, Of course, received his
instructions from the trainer beforehand
More walking, then more cantering, at
the conclusion Of which Martin Pycroft
says quietly:
"Take 'em home, William, and tell
those boys to bring Loadstone and Cori-
ander up here"
Merely replying, "All right, SIR" Will
liam turned his horses head In the direc-
ton of the stables.
A minute or two, and couple of stable
boys walk the horses to where Pearman,
Pycroft and "the rigid rider to orders"
are standing.
Jump off and strip EN-" says the
trainer. The boys slip off the backs Of
their respective mounts, and hold them
by the>head while Pycroft unlooses Cori-
ander's surcingle whips of the sheets
with a dexterous hand, and proceeds to
adjust q light racing asddle on that
eauins celebritys back. Jim, assisted by

Il is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or 'iocap' treatment, as advocated
by the "beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that a. woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower

Notes From Washington
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our Regular corresponding.
Many interesting facts are be-
ing brought to light in the tariff
discussions and there seems to
be a disposition on the part OF
the Senate leaders to suppress.
or at least an unwillingness to
assist in providing information
that Senators may be able to dis.
cuss tariff subjects intelligently
many members are doing a little
digging into the musty archieves
of various departments on their
own account with the result
that much important data has
been unearthed. In this way
the public is in a fair way to
know something about the pend
ing bill as there is an unlimited
supply of statistics from which
to draw.

Big Crew of Men are now Be-
ing Employed by This
Company.

After a temporary shutdown
the latter part of last week
which was necessary to make a
number of changes to the
machinery in the mill, the
Stearns plant started up again
Monday morning and is now
running night and day and is
turning out nearly three hun.
dred thousand feet every twenty.
four hours. About two hundred
and fifty men are now employed
about the plant. Mr.. Soshea OF

There are few record votes
being made in the Senate these
days upon the various schedules
of the tariff and upon every vote
which has been cast thus far
Senator LaFollette has invariably
voted with the consumers of the
country and for a lowering of
duties. Perhaps the most sig
niticant vote which has thus far
been taken was that upon iron
ore, when eighteen Democrats.
upon the plea that S .25 duty was
a revenue measure, voted with
Aldrich against putting this com
modify upon the free list. The
Democrats who voted with him
were; Bacon, Bailey, Bankhead,
amberlain, Clay, Daniel,
Fletcher. Foster, Frazier, John
ston. Ala; McEnery, Martin,
Paynter, Simmons, Stone, Talif-
ferro, Taylor, Tillman.
There were only "a votes cast
against the duty of $.25 upon
iron ore and of these "a fourteen
were Republicans and were as
follows; Beverage, Borah,
Bristow. Brown, Burkett, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Curtis,
Dolliver, dupont, Gamble, La
Toilette, Nelson,
Had the Democrats stood up
and voted solidly for free iron
ore there were enough Repu bill
cans who voted that way to have
placed iron ore upon the free
list. 1t will be noted that Senat-
ors Nelson and Clapp from the
State of Minnesota which pro-
duces 5o.O0 per cent OF the total
iron ore production of the coun-
try voted for free iron ore.
The fact is significant also in
showing an almost solid lineup
of the states in the central west
for the admission of this article
free of duty. The vote is also
significant in that next to the
Standard Oil control of oil, the
trust control of iron ore is abso-
lutely established and the posi-
ton of the Democrats in the light
of this fact is passed understand

HurnOr and
Philosophy
By DUNCAN n. SMITH
CONTRARY.

Spring Is mostly sweet and kind,
And to it we are resigned;
But, alas, to our surprise,
1t can be, If but 1t tries,
Quite the meanest season that
In the twelve months comes to bat.
Quite enamored Of its smile.
How we brag about its style,
Backing 1t for all we're worth
AS the greatest thing on earth!
Then there comes the lightning shift
And we bump into drift.
When it's good and feeling fit
NOthing's in the class with it.
When it isn't, then, great Scott.
It's the limit, like as not,
From the sweetest thing In sight
Changes to a perfect fright. .
Has as many moods, I ween.
AS a girl Of sweet sixteen.
Never know as you arise
Just the kind Of surprise
1t will bring before the sun
Sinks and says the day is done.
Maybe cold and maybe hot
One can never dope the plot,
For the wisest cannot know
Whether it will rain or snow
Or will on the world expand
With a smile to beat the band.

stood by President Taft,
