Josheph Fost, who recently
bought land near the old Hayden
ranch, came with his family this
week and is building and other,
wise improving the farm.
M. o. banks came in from his
farm in eastern Kansas, We'd
nesday of last week. Mr.. banks
says that it is very wet down
there, and that some farmers
are cultivating corn in the rain
while many fields are so over
grown with weeds and grass
that the corn can't be seen.
Captain Osgood brought in
some samples of wheat from his
farm this week which show con-
siderable smut. On inquiry we
find that there is some danger
that smut will reduce the value
of the wheat crop to some ex-
tent. 1t seems to be in all parts
of the county to greater or less
extent.
Elliott Henry came home from
Manhattan this week and will
begin the practice of his profess
sion. that of a veterinary, at once.
DR.. Henry advertises his bust
ness in The News. DR.. Henry
has studied at the K. S. A. C..
and had the benefit of expert
ment and practice there. He
will be at Fowler one-half of the
time and at Meade the other.
Frank Truax sold Moses Black
Brush runabout which came
on this week. Frank is trying
it out and knowing the fondness
of The News local writer for
iov rides, and his recently ac-
quired knowledge of automobiles
as a means OF conveyance, he
asked us to take a ride with him
in the new car. 1t is surely a
nice little wagon for anyone with
plenty of travelling and no neces-
sity for carrying passengers,
the seat being midway of the
frame which is hung on coiled
springs, it rides easy and has
but little engine jar. Nose has
surveyed so long that he walks
when he could ride and looks
with a squirt and will likely
want telescope and peep sights
rugged on it to steer by.

A Few Lessons Taught by the
Fire Last Monday

Our fire boys are all that vol
unteer company could be expect
ed to be. The general public
will turn out and give efficient
aid to the department. The new
water works and apparatus are
all that we could desire for a town
much larger than Meade.
A better system of signals
from central for fire alarm
should be arranged. While the
present is good, it could be bet
tered so that few minutes could
be saved in the time required to
get the boys out, and minutes at
a fire are valuab BILE.

the ground that his italian scout. the

1t was a supreme moment when eros

q closed house and giving any little
matter that requires 1t attention, while
on the grounds. say the writer In the
Philadelphia Press.
In this way a woman who undertakes
the work OF visiting earetaker can
easily manage TO look after more than
one house. and by SO doing she can
count upon her work being extremely
profitable. I thought of 1t as a work
peculiarly adapted to the teacher who
say she Is anxious to make expenses
through the summer and who believes
that a c~ongenial occupation such as
the care OF flowers and pets can only
be found IN the country.
While the work Ia not identified with
that of opening or closing the summer
house. nor does 1t require so wide and
general a knowledge of household eco
Monies, It should involve sufficient over
sight of q home that has been closed
to insure Its preservation.
Fer this reason the summer caretaker
will not only look after the lowers and
pets and have the general ARE Of the
lawn, but she must air the house thor
ougllly and as often as she thinks 1t is
needed.
During each daily visit the windows
and doors must not only be thrown
open, but each room must be carefully
inspected for any little matter that may
need prompt attention.
During a rainy period, for instance,
mold should not be allowed to collect
or a leaking roof go unobserved.
Every man who owns a home knows
that an oversight of this kind will not
only damage permanently a portion Of
his house, but ruin his carpet, WALL
paper and furniture.
While all these little things involve a
good deal of care, and some little
knowledge of remedies, it is a work
that does not require more practical
knowledge of these things than the
average girl possesses. 1t is the know
ing what to do and acting promptly in
applying the remedy that is appreciated
by the owner.
1t is one of the newer lines Of work
that has grown out of the ordinary
vocations Of the average It
proves fresh and interesting as a voca-
ton, because applied in this way, de-

THE upshot of it was that he gave
me some advice about c~urrants. We
stayed In the same hotel at Messina,
travelled together in the train, and
am going to put up at the Campo Santo
Hotel, where he will stay with the
Turks"
~versation had quilted the station, and
Sir Hubert's respect for Mr.. Winters
powers as a sleuth-hound yielded to
anxiety lest the slippery Frenchman
might vanish once and for all.
Hadn't we better follow him?" he
suggested.
Mr.. Winter winked knowingly.
Don't be anxious, sir. He wants to
be seer in my company. He believes
/ am here for trading purposes. and
the association will be useful to him.
Nevertheless the baronet was glad &c
find that Mr.. Winters confidence was
not misplaced, when, ten minutes later
he again encountered the. Frenchmar
and the Turks at the door OF the Cam-
DO Santo, a cheap and popular hotel
near the square that forms the centre
of Palermo
The detective was eminently suited
for the role he now filed.
"Ah. m~onsoo," he cried with bolster
GUS good humor, ''permittez-moi intro

paniongs, but they are tres bons com
rades. Je suis certain"
eros Jean was most complaisant.
"It ees Won grand plaisir, m'sieu." h
said whilst the Turks gravely bowed
their acknowledgements.
The upshot of this extraordinary
meeting was that when Mr.. Winter had
secured a room and the party had or
dered dinner the six men set out for g
stroll through the town.
Sir Hubert strove hard to so man
euver their ramble that they should
pass the Hotel de France and per
chance come under the astonished eyes
of Brett and the others.
But this amiable design was frustrat'
ed by eros jeans eagerness to visi'
the p~ostof1ce which lay in a differen'
direction.
One OF the Turks, none other than
Hussein-ul-Mulk, spoke English fairly
we'll and 1t puzzled the old barone
considerably to answer his questions.
Yet the situation passed Off well
eros Jean came out of the p~ostoffice
apparently without having obtaineC
any m~issives-a letter. of course. coult
no possibly await him-and suggested
that they should wander toward TIL
harbor.
Sir Hubert strongly recommended
the spectacular beauty Of the stree
where the Hotel de France lay. blu
eros Jean politely insisted that h
wished to make some inquiries at thu
shipping Office. and Mr.. Winter backed
him up. being ignorant of the baronet'i
real motive.
There was nothing to do but yieit
gracefully.
They walked along the Corso vitto-i'
Emmanuele. Sir Hubert. fresh will

becoming sadly mixed up in the names

lover and brother. vafn1y seeking to

be / n the personal possession Of Dubois.
1t was a golden opportunity to
the stolen gems. II once he eluded the
grasp of his pursuers after landing they
might-probably would-secure him. but
not the diamonds.
Daubeney, now purple with perplex-
ity, and Fairholme. swearing softly un-
der his breath, sprang from the deck to
the low wall Of the quay. Almost un-
consciously they joined Sir Hubert and
Mr.. Winter. Edith followed them. She
glanced at her brother. He was gazing
c~uriously. vindictively, at the two fig-
ures on the deck OF the Bellies Soeurs.
There was a fierce CLEAN in his eyes, a
set expression In his closed lips, a ner-
vous twitching at the corner OF his
mouth, that ~betokened the overpower-
ing emotions of the moment.
With a woman's intuition Edith real
lied that no power on earth, no consid-
Grafton of expediency, would restrain
him from laying violent hands on Du-
hois at the first possible opportunity.
She knew there must be a struggle, In
which Gros Jean and the Turks. per-

They might use knives and firearms.

and 1t is accompanied by knickerbockers made of the same ma

that delightful sense of freedom which should belong to the holiday
time. It can be made with the slightly open neck and short sleeves
illustrated or with a high neck finished with a rolled-over collar and
long sleeves, as liked. Natural linen with bands of darkred make the
combination illustrated, but all the sturdier fabrics are appropriate. the
