AN
UNFINISHED

Literary Press.

When mothers put 1t the way they
do we must sympathize with them
more or less. especially when the moth
er is widow. It isn't through any
spirit Of avarice that she would have
her daughter marry rich. 1t Is simply
that the money may be in the house
when the man comes around with the
gas bill. 1t isn't because Of snobbish.
ness that she would prefer to be the
mother-in-law of duke rather than
. ccmmoner. but dukes are said never
10 call their mothers-in- law old cats.
1t isn't from any desire to smash ro-
mances or. break hearts that they lug
the daughter Of twenty OF to Europe
In hopes she will forget the man of
twenty-five to fall In love with a
suitor Of sixty. 1t IS that the dear
girl may have a grandfather. a father
and q husband all in one.
Such were the guiding principles of
Mrs. Deland. relict Of Judge Deland,
and 1t IL requested that fair per
cent Of the readers Of this story be-
come her partisans and give her fair
show.
OF course the daughter, Clara, had
received the education given to all
young girls whose fathers or mothers
are able to pay for the same by the
square foot. and she had arrived at the
age of twenty without causing any
particular worry to anybody when she
met young Albert Lee. They called
him young Lee because he was only
twenty-five and because there was an
old Lee, who was sixty.
Young Lee was still at college, and
e was still an unsettled question as ia
what profession he would select to
make his way through life. In an In
definitely definite way he had been
paying his attentions to Miss Clara
for several months before the widowed
mother. with a woman's intuition
aroused herself to the realization that
her lamb might be stolen away. Then,
like dutiful mother. she began max.

ter at the same time.
It did not take long to exhaust the
schedule of inquiries. Young Lee was
all right socially. and his sixty-year-
old father would leave him COM
Portable property when the reaper
came, but there was no telling wheth-
Or he would pass away at sixty-one or
eighty-five.
Il was long odds for mother with
Z business head on her to take. She
at once put her foot down, and Of
course It was the wrong foot. She
began by criticising the suitor and
ended by announcing that she would
rather zee her daughter in her grave.
There were arguments, protesta-
t1ons, tears. A girl who Is beginning

REFERENDUM PETITION FILED
Black Hills Trades Assembly Wants
Vote on Military Law.

A referendum petition containing
6.331 signatures was filed with the
secretary of state at Pierre by Free
man Knowles, the former fusion con-
gresham. He represented the Black
Hills Trades assembly, a federation
of twenty-five unions, which aims to
send the military law passed by the
last legislature and modelled on the
national military law to the voters in
the 1910 election on referendum.

four-foot veins of Kansas coal in the in
terest of the Neponset Trust Company,
and had been delayed a day longer than
he bad expected. He continued to be in
a good deal of hurry after he reached
his Office, and he kicked aside the mail
which rustled under the door as he open
ed it, and knelt hastily before the safe
and began rafting the tumblers Of the
combination. He pulled out long en-
velope and then with more composure
consulted his watch.
1t was half-past eight. He took from
his memorandum calendar the leaf for
the day; ON it he had posted a cutting
from a local newspaper announcing the
annual meeting Of the stockholders Of the
Clarkson Traction Company. The meet
ing was to be held, 80 the notice recited,
between the hours of 8 a. m. and p. m.
of the second Tuesday lof November, at
the general offices of the company in the
city of Clarkson. The Exchange Build

Saxton examined his papers, which were
certificates of stock in the Clarkson Trac-
ton Company. They had been sent to
him by a personal friend in Boston, the
trustee of an estate, with instruction to
investigate and report. Having received
them just as he was leaving for Kansas,
there had been no opportunity for con-
sulting Porter or Wheaton, his usual ad-
visers III perplexing matters Traction

paper attacks on the company, AL. he
hoped to sell his friends shares to ad
vantage.
Saxton had never been In the Ex.

about in the dark upper floors, uncer-
tainly looking for the rooms described in
the advertisement. Another man. also
peering about in the hall, ran against
him.

Wheaton followed Margrave's move

not shake off. Margrave walked toward
the door with an air of nonchalence,
pulling on his gloves.

Jim, but I'll settle for your stock and

gloves placidly. That's all right, Jim,

"l'm never satisfied" said Margrave,
picking up his hat.
Wheaton wished to make a bargain
with him, to secure his own immunity
but he did not know how to accomplish
it. Margrave had threatened him, and he
wished to dull the point of the threat, but
he was afraid to ask promise of him.
Wheaton did not follow him to the door.

went TO his Office, entertaining himself
with this pleasant speculation. IF I'd
got out of the bank with that package

BEELESs HONEY

n FRENLH humorist. .Alphonse Alias, once main
n tanned gravely that little bugs ike bees could
possibly make honey; and that if they had been
intelligent enough do they certainly would have
been clever enough keep the product themselves
He concluded, therefore that honey is made by the
groeers who sell it, and the pretty fable of the bees
invented merely TO help the sale.
Unfortunately the French honey man was telling
good deal Of truth in the ~skt" for much that is
sold as honey beehive. Imitation honeys
usually made basis of glucose, uncrystal-
liable sugar called sometimes this country corn
syrup, because It results from the of
starch with sulphurc acid
Pure glucose, with the addition OF extract skill
fully prepared TO initiate the peculiar favor OF the
natural product, makes very respectable honey
The only way to avoid being served with the imita-
ton would appear to be TO keep bees
We assured by makers OF imitation honey, how
that is really much preferable the genuine
article, which is full OF impurities OF all kinds such
pollen grains, bits of wax pieces or dead larvae
etc, whereas the imitation honey is chemically pure
Possibly there may still be some so perverse as to
prefer impure honey from the hive to the pure and
pellucid but beeIess article.
