of a tank, inside of which is a
device for centering the buckets as
they are lowered into it, SO that each
bucket fits into the one below it, n
they are thus "nested," a series OF
them occupying little space than
one would take up. The tank is filled,
with water or with some specially pre-
pared fre-fghting fluid. and holds
enough to insure each bucket being
filled as it is, drawn out. There is no
time lost in Selling a bucket and run
ming to another place to fill it, and
every one knows that speed is an es-
sential feature in fighting flames. The
apparatus not only does away with
an u~nsightly row of buckets, but ex'
pedites the work Of combating the
blaze to an important degree.

that just what really happened at the
Cotton Planters convention will
never be known, for this particular
meeting was held behind closed doors,
and as the two governors were
honored guests of the association, no
member has ever breathed a word
touching an incident that all most
sincerely deplored. Indeed, no hint
of it would yer have reached the pub
lie had it not been hat both gentle
men hurriedly left the convention hall,
refused to keep their appointments to
speak at the banquet that followed
the business meetings, and were re-
ported to have taken the first trains

governor of South Carolina had
taken a fling at the authenticity of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of indie
p%endence; it was rumored in other
quarters that the governor Of North
Carolina was the aggressor, he having
it was said-declared that a people
(meaning the freemen of the common
wealth of South Carolina) who e.
not intelligent enough to raise their
own hay, and who, moreover, bought
that article in Ohio, were not worth
the ground necessary for their decent
interment. 1t is not the purpose of
this chronicle either to seek the truth
Of what passed between the two gov
errors at New Orleans, or to discuss
the points of history and agriculture
raised in the statements just indi-
Gated. AS every one knows, the Goth
of May Cor was it the 31st!), ITS, is
solemnly observed in North Carolina
as the day on which the patriots of
Mecklenburg county severed the re-
lations heretofore existing between
them and his majesty, King George
the Third. Equally well known is the
fact that in South Carolina it is an
article of religious faith that on that
twentieth day of May, ITS, the citi-
zens Of M~ecklenburg county, North
Carolina. cheered the English flag and
adopted resolutions reaffirming their
ancient allegiance to the British
crown. This controversy and the in
adequacy of the South Carolina hay
crop must be passed on to the pamph-
letters, with such other veXed ques-
tions as Andrew Jackson's birth
place-more debated than Homer's
and not to be carelessly conceded to
the strutting o n Of Waxhaw.

The Spots Disappeared.

Mrs. Dolan lived in a district which
was not as favorable for the outdoor
household experiments recommended
by the Ladies' Helper as it might have
been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid
ly assimilating, and in a name not
SO uncommon as it might be she
blamed the estimable periodical for
her difficulties.
Il wisht l had a holt O. that woman
that runs the Handy Hints depart

one morning after an early excursion
into the back yard, whence she re-
turned In high dudgeon.

ly testing his cup Of tea.
"Well, I've changed me mind, as
I've the rights to do,"replied his wife.
"She said to put sody on thin stains

WISE r
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that thu
duty of the physician does not ceas.i
with treating the sick, but that we;
owe it to humanity to teach them how.
to protect their health, especially BY
hygtenic and dietetic laws.
with such a feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nutsa
and that I find there is almost 10 limia
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T is my experience that no physIs
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there Il
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at breaki
last, to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
In cases OF Indigestion 1 know thaas
a complete breakfast can be made q
Grape-Nuts and cream and I think 1t =
not advisable to overload the stomacs
at the morning meal. I also know thf
great value of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest otheq
food.

Griswold vas addressed in a tone and

Griswold noted with surprise the
girls immediate absorption in the
kilograms from New Orleans relating
to the difficulty between the two
governors.
AS she read she lost, he thought,
something >of her splendid color. and
at one point in her reading her face
went white for a moment, and Girls
void saw the paper wrinkle under the
Tightening grasp Of her hands. The
tidings from New Orleans had UNI
doubtedly aroused her indignation.
She seemed to lose account Of her
surroundings. and several times Girls
void was quite SURE that lie heard her
half exc1aim: "PrepoSterous! Infa-
mous!"
When she had finished the New Or

woman, and returned them to Girls

elaborate thanks Of her rae for his
courtesy. The girl had utterly ignored
Griswold, and she now pulled down
the curtain 1t her elbow with . snag
and turned her face away from him.

The discussion had begun to bore
Griswold, and he went back to mis-
own section, having it in mind to re-
wise a lecture he was preparing on

Seas 1t had grown dark. and the
car was brilliantly lighted. There
we're not more than half a dozen
other persons in his sleeper, and these
we're widely scattered. Having taken
an Inventory of his belongings to be
sure they were all at hand, he be-
came conscious of the presence Of a
young lady in the opposite section.
In the seat behind her sat an old
colored women in snowy cap and
apron, Who a evidently the young
lady's servant. Griswold was aware
that this dusky duenna bristled and
frowned and pursed her lips in the
way of her picturesque kind as he
glanced at her, as though his pres
ence were a. intrusion upon her mis-
tress, who sat withdrawn to the eX-
IRENE corner of her section, seeking
it's fullest s~eclusion, with her head
against a pillow, and the tips Of her
suede shoes showing under her gray
travelling skirt on the further half of
the section. She twirled idly in her
fingers a half-opened white rosebud
d fact uniInportant in itself. but des-
tined to linger long in Griswolds
memory. The pillow afforded the hap
piest possible background for her
brown head, her cheek bright with
color, and a profile clear-cut, and just
now-an impression due, perhaps, to
the slight culver Of her nostrils and
the compression of her lips-seemingly
disdainful of the world.
The black woman rose and minis
tered to her mistress, muttering in
kind monotone consolatory phrases
from which chile" and honey Occa-
sionally reached Griswold's ears. The
old nanny produced from a bag sew
eral toilet bottles, a fresh handker-
chief, q hand mirror and a brush.
THANK you, Aunt Phoebe, I'm feel
ing much better. Just let me alone
now, please"
The girl put aside the white rose
for a moment and breathed deeply Of
the v~inaigrette, whose keen, pungent
odor stole across the aisle to Girls
void. She ben forward, took up the
hand mirror, and brushed the hair
away from her forehead with half a
dozen light strokes. She touched her
handkerchief to the cologne flask,
passed it across her eyes, and then
took up the rose again and settled
back with a little sigh of relief. In
her new upright position her gaze
rested upon Griswold's newspapers,
which he had flung down on the empty
half of his section. One of them had
fallen open and lay with it's outer
page staring with the bold grin Of
display type.
