Railway Car Wheels.
Everybody knows how the wheels or

axle. They are shrunk on-that Is, put
on hot and allowed TO shrink in cooling
SO that they are practically a solid
piece with the axle. These cars 60

object to their drudgcry inside Of the

In our social problems and the increas-

up all kinds of new fields for women.
For instance, growing in numbers
faster than the "Iittle red school

not only help organize Libraries in com

PLEADS GUILTY
TO CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO DE-
FRAUD The STATE SENTENCED TO
PAY $4,000 fine.

Columbia, January, 0:-J ailles .
Farnum, agent in this State for
the Anheuser- Busch Brewing COM
pany and other liquor houses which
did business with the late State
dispensary, today pleaded guilty to
a charge of conspiracy to defraud
the State and paid fine Of $1,000.
The end of this case was great
surprise and came without previous
intimation. This morning Attorney
General Lyon appeared in the Rich
land county court of general ses-
sions with Solicitor Cobb, and
presented anew indictment against
Farnum, charging him with con-
splracy with Joseph B Wyle,
formerly member of the State dis
pensary board, to defraud the State.
= The grand jury at once retired
and Wylie was examined as a
witness, In short while the grand
jury returned with a true BILL
Farnum and his attorneys then
came into conrt and other pro-
ceedings were interrupted while
the attorney general announced
that Farnum desired to plead
guilty and he would accept the plea.
Farnum stood up and Judge Prince
asked for the written plea, which
Farnum signed. Judge Prince at
once imposed sentence, saying that
In view of the plea he would be
lenient, but not as lenient as Farnum
might Wish. The Judge said he
knew Farnum's humiliation was
punishment. but that he deserved
further punishment, though his
fmoral guilt was not as great as
that of the officers of the State who
had participated in the conspiracy
and accepted brides. He would
therefore impose a sentence of So
rOOO iue OF one years lmprlson-
smert on the chaingang or in the
penitentiary. Farnum's attorney pro-
duced a certificate of deposit for
$1,000, which was accepted as pay
ment, and then the judge amended
the sentence, so as to eliminate the
alternative of Imprisonment.
Attorney General Lyon will, in
view of Tarnum's plea, mol pros

It is not often that a woman
builds a house with her own hands,
and then lives in it alone for five
years, tilling the coil and getting
out of it a living for herself and a
child.
There were people in the nearby
town who criticized Gloria. "Why
doesn't she take her little brother
and work in some kitchen? That
would be woman's work.
When Gabriel Marks heard that
taunt, lie turned to the man who
had made it and demanded, "Can
YOU imagine Gloria Strong es g
slave Of the whims and cap.ices OF
another volnan--vour wife, for OK
amplef'
81 don't sec,' Seth Bowlcs rc!crt-
ed, "that my wife has any more
whims than the rest Of them."
NO." Gabriel admitted, shut The
women Of our town weren't brought
up to keep servants, and they don't
know how 10 treat them. And l
can't imagine Gloria Strong taking
orders from anyone"
"Not even from a husband ?" Seth
sneered. IF Gloria Strong should
marry YOU, what then? You'd be
the master Of any woman"
Gabriel felt that he would like to
strike that sheer from Scth's face.
But he knew the futility of such q
feeling. What could such man
know Of the timidity which the
most masterful man feels when in
the presence Of the woman he loves?
1t was this very timidity which
had at first kept Gabriel from con-
Tossing his love to Gloria. He had
titled the soil of the adjoining farm,
and as the two plows had met at the
fence corners the man ard the wom-

On had rested and talked in the
shade Of the trees. 1t was in ihesc
moments. stolen from toll, that Gu
bricl had learned to appreciate the
sweetness of womanliness which lay
behind the almost masculine firm
ness of Glorias character. There
had been hot days, TOO, when the
small brother, Bensic, had brought
from the house a pitcher Of cool
milk, and the brown bread and
cream cheese for his masters lunch.
And she had made Gabriel share
these things.
at is 60 easy for me to make
MORE" she had said, "and you have
to depend On stuff from the bak-
sry-you must get tired Of it"
''How do you manage 10 do q
mans work and woman's?" Ga
triel questioned.
For a moment shadow lay in her
eyes, then she laughed. Il am hap
pier she said, "whcn ! am busy"
Three times in five years Gabriel
asked her to marry him. But she
would not. Il must live my life
Alone" she had said, and would not
be persuaded beyond that.
Gabriel was a patient man and a
strong one. He bidcd his time. At
last the chance came, and although
she did not ask him 10 give his life
for her, she asked something greater
than that, for she put his honor at
stake.
"Yon remember, Gabriel she
said, coming into his house one
night when a winter storm ragged,

an had given you some money in

A TREE THAT WEEps.

During the dricst months OF the
Rhodesian year-August. September
and October-a tree called by the
natives Mukololo cxudes moisture in
large drops from its topmost leaves
and gives tile traveller who happens
to be standing in the immediate vi

Of rain is falling. When the natives
see one of these trees dripping they
say: "Thc mukololo is weeping for
