UTILIZING the Waste Product.

A parish in the highlands had been
cut off from communication with the
nearest town owing to severe storm.
Supplies began to give out, and the
minister was much perturbed in mind,
as his snuffbox was quite empty. The
Sabbath came round. How was he to
get through his discourse without the
aid of his usual stimulant? He ap-
pealed to his faithful henchman, the
sexton. Alas, he was in a similar I'M
satisfactory predicament! How was
1t to be remedied? Andrew shook his
head, thought long and suddenly dis
appeared. Presently he returned with
something resembling snuff wrapped
carefully in paper. The minister took
a hearty pinch or two and then asked /:
Where did you get 1t. Andrew"
'Please. sir, just went and sweepit
the pulpit oout." was the reply.-Dun-
dee Advertiser.

''But'-he began in expostulation.

ooh, yes, you can If you go at it
right" broke in the Cherub encourag-
ingly. They've all heard of me, I'll
bet. Tell 'en I'm a freak, a curiosity
anything thatll fetch 'em fast
enough. Any one staying at the
Tremways? You don't say! Comes
from Austria, doesn't he? Well, you
tell the Tremways to bring the baron
along. Why, the baron and took the
baths together at Baden Two-Times.
The baron's all right too. Oh, he'll
remember me. Say, what's the proper
caper for a Sunday night spread-10?
Half past s! Well, call it $50 then.
So long, Nick"
If the Cherub had used ropes and
straps he could not have left young
Mr.. Wauoway more incapable of NOV
ing from the chair in which he was
sitting. For a long period he stared
vaguely into space without stirring.
Once or twice his lips murmured
name. 1t sounded something like
Adele. Gradually, however, the Wal
loway chin resumed its usual firmness.
A look of resignation crept into the
gray eyes. He rose stif1y, walked to
the window and stared out.
Perhaps perhaps" he faltered,
''he's right

'SEWELL FORD

Hes the head of the family now,
sir. Nicholas is"
80 Nick is a neighbor OF mine, is
he?"
But they're very exclusive, the Wal
loways are, sir. They entertain lots
of titled folks. They used to be very
friendly here, sir, but none of them's
been here now for nearly two years"
Then it's time they came" declared
Mr.. Devine How about the other
folks, the Wilburs and the Tremways?"
Haven't been here for long time
either, sir"
Every thoughtless OF them, isn't it?
But wen fix that. Hitch up two or
three of those gingersnap horses and
take me over to the walloway place"
To-day, STRIP Timmins stared his
establishment.
"No; right away"
But it's-it's Sunday, sir. Begging
your pardon for being so bold, sir, but
the Walloways don't receive on Sun
days, sir, and they've got a bishop
there"
Good! I'm right at home when
there's bishop around. And III see
Just attend to the hooking up, Tim
Minis"
So Timmins did, but 1t was with
much concern for his professional dig
nifty that he drove up to the imposing
carriage entrance of the Walloway
residence. The reception opened quite
as he had feared. In fact, the walIo-
way butler, who weighed twice as
much as Eppings and was laughter
in proportion, was colby doubtful as
to whether or not Mr.. Nicholas Wal
loway could be seen. he surveyed the
Hewington cobs with whitening scorn
and glanced with disappearing eye at
Mr.. Devines tobacco brown waist
coat.
81 don't think Mr.. Walloway Is re-
ceiving today" he observed.
''Oh, that'll be all right, fatty" cheer
fully remarked Mr.. Devine. You
trot along in and tell Nick that Cherub
Devine is out here"
The Walloway butler gasped. Tim
minis trembled in his seat. Two min
utes later Mr.. Nicholas Walloway,
much perplexed and not a little embar-
raised, was escorting Mr.. Devine past
the awful presence of the stout butler
and into the house.
A clean cut young man Of sedate,
somewhat stiff bearing and with sober
gray eyes was Mr.. Nicholas Wallo-
way. No one but the Cherub, not even
Mr.. Walloway's most intimate friends,
ever dreamed Of calling him Nick.
Mr.. Devine had never honored
young Mr.. Walloway with a social
call before, but he had dropped in
once or twice at the new offices of
Walloway s. Co., and his reception had

been extremely cordial. In fact, Nj.
Nicholas Walloway had felt himself
sing1larly favored, and he said SO,
for his firm, In spite OF the heavy
mahogany desks ana other expensive
office trappings which seemed to pro-
claim a prosperous stability, was woe

as MI. Devine could be If he chose.
To have the handling Of some Of the
Cherub's extensive business would es-
tablish the firm on q basis where ma

more than an enterprising presump-

Mr.. Devine assumed that If ME-.

welcoming him to his LONE. That
this was hardly a safe line Of reason
ing any one who knew the Wallo-
ways at all would have known Just
a glance at the slight wrinkle between
the gray eyes should have suggested
that Mr. Walioway was somewhat per-
picked and not a little i'll at ease. But
If the Cherub saw these indications he
gave no hint. Mr.. WaIloway muir

Mr.. Nicholas Walloway looked a bit
uncomfortable for a moment. ST used

you might on any of your friends

Mr.. Walloway stared at him with a
fascinated interest. The Cherub smil-

But we-we-there are guests, you
know" weakly protested Mr.. Wallo-
way.
Guests? Well, bring 'em along. 1

Mr.. Walloway fastened to mention
that one was a bishop and named him
impressively.
Mr.. Devine slapped his knee joyously.
What! The funny little old chap
with the white side whiskers and an
equator like Broadway cop? Is he
down here? Say, Nick, that bishop is
the real article, he is. Know him.

TO PROTECT STATE
FORESTS
Lumbermen Leave Today to
Present View to st.
Paul Congress.

Seattle, Sept. 2.-Three of the
principal lumbermen of the state of
Washington, Alexander Poison, C. F.
White and G. S. Long, departed for
ST. Paul today to present to the dele
gates Of the national conservation
congress their views of the need of
better protection for the natural for
ests. They will recommend that the
forest service should put large
force of men at work cutting down
old snags and removing the accumu-
lated dry timber from the forest re-
serves. Snags, they assert, offer the
greatest danger to the forests. They
also want trails cut in all directions
through the forest reserves to aid
employees in promptly reaching the
forest fires. The forests should be
laid off into plots of convenient size,
separated by wide fire trails, which
should be cleared of dead wood and
underbrush and a sufficient fire pa
troll service should be established.

Famous Murder Case Will
Be Tried in October
by Agreement.

The counsel of both the state and
the defense agreed to have the case
of state VS. Totten and Beebe set for
October in the superior court This
is the famous murder case which has
arisen out of the crime committed
last month in Brender canyon, near
Cashmere.
A trial so important as this and
in which the evidence is so compli-
Gated requires the fullest prepare
ton. The very best of counsel has
been secured on both sides.
A venire of 100 jurors will be
drawn for this case on the second Sat-
urday in September. The evidence is
already so we'll known that it is
feared many witnesses will be neces-
sarily rejected because of having
formed an opinion regarding the case.

The apples were the commercial va

uniformity and of splendid color, a
good indication of what can be done
in that country. Mr.. MarcusOn has
succeeded in making several deals

INLAND WATERWAYS COMMITTEE IS COMING NEXT WEEK
Will Investigate Columbia
River While on the Coast
Next Week.

The joint inland congressional wa

coast early next week. While visits
will be made to number OF projects
demanding congressional aid on the

spent investigating the needs of work

the itinerary of the committee.
The committee is composed of Sen

shire; William Alden Smith, Michi-

rival, has not been Informed of the
exact day of its coming.
