In terms which seemed to embarrass
the elderly gentleman who sat In the
barouche. Ormes eye Travelled
through the outer edge of the dis
turbance, and sought its center.
There in the midst of the tangle
was a big black touring car. Its one
occupant was a girl-and such girl!
Her fawn-colored cloak was thrown
open; her face was unveiled. Orme
was thrilled when he caught the
glory of her face-the clear skin,
Drowned by outdoor living; the de-
mure but regular features; the eyes
that seemed to transmute and reflect
softly all impressions from without.
Orme had never seen any one like
her-so nobly unconscious of self, so
appealing and yet so calm. ..
She was waiting patiently. inter-
ested in the clamor about her, but
seemingly undisturbed by her own
part in 1t. Orme's eyes did not leave
her face. He was merely one of a
crowd at the curb, unnoted by her,
but when after a time, he became
aware that he was staring, he felt the
blood rush to his cheeks, and he NUT
tered: What a boor l ami" And
then, But who can she be? Who can
she be?"
A policeman made his way to the
black car Orme saw him speak to
the girl; saw her brows knit; and he
quickly threaded his way into the
street His action was barely con-
scious, but nothing could have stopped
him at that moment.
You'll have to comesto the station,
miss" the policeman was saying.
But what have done?" Her voice
was broken music.
You've violated the traffic regula-
tions, and made all this trouble, that's
what you've done"
I'm on a very important errand,"
she began, and"
Il can't help that, miss, you ought
to have had some one with you that
knew the rules"
Her eyes were perplexed, and she
looked about her as If for help. For
moment her gaze fell on Orme. who
was close to the policeman's elbow.
Now, Orme had winning and dis
arming smile Without hesitation, he
touched the policeman on the shout
der, beamed pleasantly, and said:
Pardon me, officer, but this car was
forced over by that dray."
"She was on the wrong side" re-
turned the policeman, after a glance
which modified his first intention to
take offence. "She had no business
over here"
1T was eithA that or a collision.
My wheel was scraped, as 1t was"
She, too, was smiling now.
The policeman pondered. He liked
to be called Officer" he liked to be
smiled upon; and the girl, to judge
from her manner and appearance,
might we'll be the daughter of man
of position. We'll" he said after
moment, "be more careful another
time" He turned and went back to
his work among the other vehicles,
covering the weakness of his sur
render by fresh display of angry au-
thority.
The girl gave a little sigh of relief
and looked at Orme. Thank you,
she said.
Then he remembered that he did
not know this girl. Can be OF
further service?" he asked.
mo" she answered. Il think not.

Retort Courteous.

Two men were occupying double
seat in a crowded car. One Of them
was long-distance whistler and the
other was evidently annoyed.
you don't seem to like my whist
ling?" said the noisy one, after FIVE
minute continuous performance.
mo, don't" was the frank reply.
WELL" continued the other, maybe
you think you are man enough to
stop it?"

the other, but l hope you are.

iourne, Americanism-young aggressive
of erhaps a bit too cocksure, but ever
sounding along with eyes toward the
future. Here was the city OF great
beginnings, the city Of experiment
experiment with life; hence its incom-
pIeteness-an incompleteness not DIS
similar to that of life itself. Chi
cago lived: 1t was the pulse OF the
great middle west.
Orme watched the procession with
clear eyes. He had been strollng
southward from the Masonic Temple
into the shopping district. the
clangor, the smoke and dust, the hur-
rying crowds, all worked into MS
mood. The expectation OF adventure
was far from him. Nor was he man
who sought impressions for amuse-
ment: whatever came to him he weigh
ed. and accepted or rejected according
as It was valueless or useful. WhoIe-
some he was; any one might INFER
that from his face. Doubtless, his
fault lay in his overemphasis on the
purely practical; but that, after ALL
was a lawyers fault, and 1t was
counterbalanced by a sweet kindness
toward all the world-a loveableness
which made for him friend OF every
chance acquaintance.
1t was we'll along in the afternoon,
and shoppers were hurrying home
ward. Orme noted the fresh beauty
of the women and girls-Chicago has
reason to be proud OF her daughters
and his heart beat little faster.
Not that he was man to be caught
by every pretty stranger; but scarce
" recognized by himself, there was
hidden spring of romance In his prac-
teal nature. Heart-free, he never met
a woman without wondering whether
she was the one. He had never found
her: he did not know that he was
looking for her; yet always there was
the unconscious question.
A distant whistle, the changing or
gongs, the rapid beat of galloping
hoofs-fire engines were racing down
the street. Cars stopped, vehicles OF
all kinds crowded In toward the curbs.
Orme paused and watched the fire
horses go laundering by, their smo-
king cnariots swaying behind them
and dropping long trails OF sparks.
Small boys were running, men and
women were stopping to gaze after
the passing engines, but Orme's at
tention was taken by something that
was happening near by, and as the
eonRs and the hoof-beats grew fainter
he looked with interest to the street
beside him.
He had got as far as the corner of
Madison street. The scramble to get
out Of the way of the engines had
here resulted in traffic jam. Two
policemen were moving about, shout
ing orders for the disentanglement OF
the street cars and vehicles which
seemed to be inextricably wedged to-
,gether.

Value of the Dairy Cow.

The perpetuity Of the country's
greatness depends upon increas-
ing the production of farm pro-
duets from year to year, result
which not only furnishes our peo-
pie with food, but maintains the
prosperity of our farming COM
munities. Increase in production
can only come through improved
methods of agriculture and soil
improvement. When / is con-
sidered that the dairy cow is the
foundation for soil Improvement
and farming prosperity, her I'M
portance is best understood, and
interest in her should not be con-
fined to her owner. The cow IS
an important factor il the devel-
opment of the cdlntry.-Ex-

LET THE RAIDS SHAKE HIM

LET THE RAIDS SHAKE HIM
The following, from the Greens
boro Record:
Governor Jarvis, who spent
the first part of the week in
Greensboro, has lost none of his
wit, which was always original
and to the point. Talking with
an old friend here who was a
Democrat until the silver craze
came along, but who has since
been Republican, he said
"They do not play the political
game like they did in our day and
they do not have as much fun.
In a tight place we could fall back
on the negro and shake him and
win; now the negro is out Of it
and [ have been fearful of results,
but things are working out all
right. Butler is in the game and
we can shake him and win, for he
is worth more to us than the negro
every time Unlike most men
of his age, Governor Jarvis does
not live in the past by any
means; he is right up with the
procession and knows what is
done and how it is done"
It looks to us like we would not
even have to go to the trouble Of
shaking Butler. The results Of
the Republican conventions over
the state on Saturday would indi-
cate that the RAIDS themselves will
do all the shaking necessary.

That was a good days work the
voters of Tennessee, who stand for
law and order, did on Thursday
when they rolled up a tremendous
majority against the Patterson
crowd. The ticket-elected is COM
posed of democrats and its success
was made possible by the support
of independent republicans. Gov
ernor Patterson has not deserved
the respect of the law-abiding cit
izenship of that good state since
his outrageous conduct in setting
at liberty the assassin of former
Senator Edward w. Ca1Inack,
who had been adjudged guilty of
the, charge and sentenced to serve
term OF twenty years in the state
penitentiary. His case had been
appealed to the Supreme Court of
Tennessee which confirmed the
judgment of the lower court. But
before the ink was dry on the pa
per containing the court s findings
Duncan B. Cooper had a pardon
from the governor, whom he had
supported in ihs political aspira-
tions.

A SENATOR'S ADVICE.

In recent speech in Oklahoma
Senator Gore said: "The ship sub.
sidy bill is measure to force you
to pay taxes on ships you have
never seen and cargoes you have
never shipped. Never vote for a
candidate, either Democrat or Re
publican unless he first makes af-
fidavit to you that he will vote
against that brazen, barefaced
and octopus-ike graft that is
known as the ship subsidy bill. "
Senator Gore suggests a ques-
ton that ought to embarrass
any regular" republican in this
day and time The democrats and
insurgents, who are representing
the people instead of the inter
ests'' stand ready to answer any
proper inquiry bearing upon their
record present or futures And
the blind senator from Oklahoma
is one of the class who would not
do an indecent thing

REPUBLICAN, SPLIT.

The republicans &C Wake coun
ty "Split all to pieces" in Ra-
leigh on Saturday last, when the
test vote of the Morehead-Butler
and Duncan factions was taken,
showing seventy-two for John
Motley Morehead and the slippery
sage of Sampson and only forty
four for Duncan, National Com
mitteeman.
The Butler forces elected a del
egation to Greensboro, pledged
to the support of Morehead for
state chairman, and adopted res
olutions commencing the national
republican administration and de-
claring for local self govern
ment. Lester Butler, brother of
Marion was elected to the posi-
ton of county chairman and, the
convention adjourned to meet on
the first day of September, when
a full ticket will be nominated
for the various county offices.
The Duncan men withdrew
from the convention and held one
of their own and elected con-
testing delegation to the conven-
ton, shortly to convene in
Greensboro.
1t seems clear from the above
that there is a lamentable lack of
harmony in the G.. O. P. just at
this time and that the old messy
backs, are not going to submit to
the domination of Morehead, an
ex-democrat and Butler formerly
populist, without a formidable
struggle to prevent it.
It seems amazing that man
of Buffers calibre and antece-
dents, should be allowed, by the
old-line republicans of North Car
DINA, to assume the leadership
(for that is what he is trying to
do) of the party in this state, to
the exclusion of men, who have
all their lives, been Jealous and
consistent republicans, both in
storm and in sunshine, and we
cannot believe that the Green's
boro convention will supersede E.
G. Duncan with j. Motley More
head.
But it is not our fight and we
have no interest in the matter at
all. It is a case of 'sspilt fish, y
anyway you may view the situa-
ton, and about the only thing
democrats can do is to hold their
noses while the row goes on. As
we have said before, the demo-
cratic party should not have the
slightest concern because their
republican friends have Marion
Butler on their hands. He will
either control them or split the
party wide open.

THE FLY AND DISEASE.

woman lecturer who cancelled all
of her engagements, which meant
financial loss to herself, and took
mp the work of trying to exclude
ethe ihonse-fys from homes of her
,neighbors and friends throughout
the land. This lady declares
that the health conditions of a
esmmunity, infected with these
pestiferous creatures, may easily

ed war upon their existence. Her

officers who agree that the fly is

contagious diseases. Yet strange

same, there is danger in every
household which tolerates him.
The claim is made,-and has not
been SUCCESSFULLY denied, that ty-
phOid fever comes largely from
the common little house-fy we
have all seen so often. One noted
writer, Mr.. B. M. Cliendinst, in
the Christian Herald, after
through study of the subject,
says:
1.-The common hOuse-fy is COM
ing to be. known as the typhoid
fly and when the term becomes
universal, greater care will be ex-
tercised in protecting the house
from his presence. Flies swallow
&he germs of typhoid In countless
millions while feeding on excreta.
They spread a thousand times
more typhoid germs in their ex-
creta than on their feet.
AS soon as the fly comes out of
his shell he is full grown and
starts out in the world to make a
living, and if your home is not
clean he knows it; for the fly can
discern an unclean odor for miles.

INTO the house and wipes them off.
The fly that you see walking over
your food is covered with filth
