The last of the series of typhoid tests
have been applied to Sergeant Fuller and
Privates Schmidt and Goodman, of Fort
Ohaha, Nebraska, and they have been
pronounced immune. In July they were
vaccinated with typhoid serum and de-
veloped the disease in mild form. Later
they were vaccinated, but the serum did
not "take." Ten days ago they under
went the supreme test, that Of drinking
freely Of gallon of stagnant water into
which one million fever germs had been
placed. The men were placed in the
hospital and closely watched. They
should have developed symptoms within
five to seven days, but as none has ap-
peared they are now immune.

Rev. T. M. Hare, of Charleston, super
intendent of the West Virginia Anti-Sa-
loon League, spent last Sunday in Shep-
herdstown in the interest OF the temper
ance movement Sunday morning he de-
livered an earnest and practical address in
the Lutheran Church, in the afternoon he
conducted round table talk in the SUM-
day school room Of the M. E. Church
South, and at night in the same church
made another strong presentation OF the
work and objects of the Anti-Saloon
League to large and interested audience.
Mr.. Hare is forceful speaker and a man
of practical ideas, and his visit here was
very helpful TO the cause. The nucleus
of county organization was started, and
il is his intention to thoroughly organize
this and adjoining counties.

audible a discussion of voices, and
among them Judge Buffers basso. She
was between Harry and the door.
Laughingly, he made as if to put her
aside, when the door through which
she had entered opened again sharply;
and Kerr came in.
Forgive me. I followed YOU" he be-
gan. Then he saw Harry. ''I-ha-ha-
I've been hunting for you, Cressy, all
the evening""
Harry accepted the statement with a
cynical smile. 1t was too evidently not

down in the compartment of a double

q dubious smile on his face. The look
the two men exchanged appeared to
her a prolongment Of their earnest in

this time it struck her that both car

The words rang, to Flora's ears, as
if they had been shouted from tie

followed there was audible an unknown
horatory voice from the smoking-room.
Il tell you it's a damn-fool way to

clutehed n%ervously at the back of her

In the course Of time it was noticed

OCEAN CABLES.

The ~diamster of the Atlantic cables
that carry messages so quickly from
enc side OF the ocean to another varies
according to the depth of the water.
The cable is smallest in nlid-oeean. In
shallower water the cable is heavier and
thicker. There are usually three die-
ferent thicknesses used. Near the
shores the diameter is two and three
quarter inches. Farther out the
diameter is decreased to one and three
quarter inches. In the deeper parts
of the ocean the diameter is one inch.
