On the following afternoon Q very
elegant automobile stopped before
Deane's door. He could not suppose
that the occupants had come to see
him as he watched them alight, but
they had. They were a mother aud
daughter, and the former introduced
the conversation by saying that she
had read an article In a morning paper
about a Miss Winthrop.
II think 1t must be very much like
my daughters case" she said
In reality there was no similarity.
but the daughter was an excellent pa.
tent nevertheless. She had no sooner
gone away than another lady came
from directly across the street. She
had not seen the article In the news
paper, but she had seen the automo-
bile, and 1t had encouraged her.
Two days later the story of the vio-
let's appeared in all the papers, the
romance very delicately touched upon.
The influence Of perfumes upon the
voice, well known to doctors, was a
new thing to the public. and the re,
porters made the most of It.

expert of the highest attachments who

A HIGH Recommendation.

The National Stockman in a recent
issue says this of the grange: THE
national grange is true representa-
tive Of rural interests. 1t has right
to speak with authority on many sub
jects of vital Importance to farmers
1t is a more conservative body than II
was thirty years ago and accomplishes
more by reason of conservation. Ger
tain great corporations would not
agree that its demands and utter
ances are other than radical. but that
is highly unimportant fact. They
are reasonably conservative in the es-
timation of the great mass of wealth
producers and thus have weight The
American people will not put their
trust in any reckless radicalism, but
want leadership that is sincere in its
interest with plain. Woodworking. pru-
dent people. who want a square deal.
The grange stands for that as 1t I'M
derstands 1t, making very few mis-
takes, and 1t is gaining In influence"

new fields. But little progress has
been made In the forming Of a life
insurance company, all propositions
seeming to be too expensive or intri-
cate. They said that the grange banks
in Pennsylvania had been a success
and that the reports from all Of them
were encouraging.
The legislative committee reafarmed
the position 1t had previously taken
in favoring the township road law We
toed by the governor This law re-
quired that the state should pay &c
cents for every dollar of cash tax
raised by the townships and abolished
the 81 per capita tax. The committee
believed that the state highway depart.
ment should be reorganized and the
present law be made more flexible to
suit varying conditions. Some method
should be found to reduce the cost OF
highways II the townships must share
the expense. 1t favored no expendi-
lures of state moneys that were not
equally distributed among the coun.
ties. and especially so when a $4,000
auto owner pays only So tax and the
owner of a $4,000 home pays $50.
The committee expressed itself as
unalterably opposed to involving the
taxpayer in an interest bearing bonded
debt. On the school question 1t said
that township high school should be
established In every district and agri-
culture and manual training should
be taught In these schools. Among the
speakers at the public session was
Hon. Wifiet Hays, assistant secretary
Of agriculture.
On the refusal Of Hon w. r. Hill to
become state master Hon. w. T. Crea.
sy Of Catawfssa was elected to that
Office. E. B. Dorset Of Mansfield was
reelected lecturer, and ]. T. Altman of
Thompsontown was reelected secre-
tary.
Among the resolutions adopted were
these: Indorsing compulsory teaching
Of agriculture In township schools; ia
voring the enlargement of the existing
transportation facilities. 1t was de-
cided to make no change In the names
Of grange banks, but no discrimination
should be made In favor of or against
any particular bank. Another resolu-
ton provided for local option depart
ment, which will be In charge of Rev.
]. w. Johnston, but which is to be sup
ported entirely by voluntary contribu'
lions, and $500 was raised immediate
ly for the work. This plan, while II
gives the emphatic moral support of
the Order to local option. does not sub
ordinate the demands for other tenn.
perance legislation. The newly elect
ed officers were installed at the last
session

she ventured in.
She was escorted to a reception

Capt. Crawford has honestly earn

real scout,-a man with warriors
soul and heart Of woman. His
career as an army scout and frontiers
man was distinguished by brave deeds,
courage and fearlessness. His verse
is distinguished by its quaint humor
and it's gentle spirit of optimism.
Captain Crawford is one Of Nature
poets. He begun to make verses be-
fore he could write his name. When
he enlisted, as a boy Of sixteen, he
was only able to put his mark to the
paper, and he tells an interesting
story Of how his first set Of verses,

IIyAllI | will be glad to hear from
L him again. The following

- still fighting for the exter-
mination of the twin evils,w hiskey and
cigarettes, and that he considers the
Kelley Cure one Of the most potent
factors in the work of reform:
On the Iron Trail, December 9, 1907.
Editor The Banner of Gold: 1t was
during World s Fair time that, in COM
pany with number Of Kelley grad
yates, I first visited the Kelley Insti-
tute at Dwight, and ever since my en-
tertainment there, whether around the
camp fire in my own wild West, out
under the stars, in the drawing rooms
OF the effete East, or at great Chau-
tauqua and Lyceum gatherings, have
made special mention Of the grand
work for God and humanity at the
Kelley institutions. And when today
l found Banner Of Gold in the sleep
er from Chicago to Creston, Iowa, and
read the article on cigarettes and
Cigarettists," by Ebert Hubbard, I
thought ] would write you about my
last visit to the Hubbard ranch, the
Roycrofters, at East Aurora, N. Y.
Nowhere have I been more inspired
than among the Roycrofters, where in
dustry, unselfshness, cooperation,
love, truth and justice are more fully
exemplifed than [ have ever seen them
in any community, and only rarely in
any family where I have been a guest.
Ebert Hubbard is the simplest great
man ever knew, and he is surrounded
by simplicity. Mrs. Hubbard is the
brainiest, busiest and best combina-
ton Of woman I ever met, while
Miriam, the little daughter, who calls
me her "Old Pard" and ''Uncle
jack" is the sweetest, bestIbehaved
and most brilliant child I have ever
known.
On Thanksgiving night Mr. Hubbard
advertised Temperance Rally in
Emerson Hall, and the people of East
Aurora were invited The hall was
packed and extra chairs and benches
we're carried up from the floor below.
Modesty forbids me quoting from Mr..
Hubbard's speech introducing the
speaker, but it was not unlike the in
closed, which appeared in The Philis-
tine two years ago after my first visit
at Christmas time.
It was a great meeting and at its
conclusion tY.o ministers and large
delegation Of blue ribboners gave me
cordial and hearty congratulations and
thanks. 1t was the opening campaign
against the saloons in East Aurora,
and just before election shall go back
and take the stump for the people
against the saloon. My latest poem,
"The Womanhood of Man," read for
the first time on that Thanksgiving
evening, will appear in the Philistine
for January. I enclose advance copy.
