through a university. The boy looked
very blank and walked to he window
with his hands in his pockets.
II should lose all my friends he
said, -and it's hard for a fellow to
make his way in the world If he has
nothing to recommend him but his
graduation from some God-fersaken
little hole like Beulah Academy"
However, they all made their way in
the end, and inasmuch as 1t meyer rains
but 1t pours, they took in a cousin
adding the sixth member to their
already overloaded family. The cousin
was also a chicken-perhaps she might
be called a broiler. She was the pink
of perfection. She never did anything
naughty and her conversation consisted
in "reminiscences of her friend Gladys
Ferguson, who had everything to eat,
everything to wear and who went
everywhere in all kinds of vehicles.
Julia was instructed very sharply by
Nancy not to talk about Gladys in the
kitchen. Il don't want her diamond
ring In my dish water" said Nancy.
Walt until Sunday, when we go 10
the hotel for dinner in our best clothes,
If you must talk about her. You don't
wipe the tumblers dry and put them y
their proper places when your mind 10
full of Gladys"
julia had a perfect retort which oily
goaded Nancy and the rest of the
chickens into further apt remarks.
Julia had a system. This was her
daily calendar: =
Rise at 6:45.
Battle and dress.
Devotional exercises, 1:15.
Breakfast, 7:45.
Household tasks until 9.
Exercise out of doors. 9 to 10.
Study, 10 to IL. p.
Preparations for dinner, 70 to 1.
Recreation, 2 to 4.
Study, 4 to s.
Preparation for supper, 5 to 6.
Wholesome reading. walking or con-
versation, z to s.
Devotional exercise, 8.
Bed, $3.50.
And all the time Julia was a pauper
the daughter of the man who had
swindled Ensign Carey, 1t will easy
be seen that the Carey children had
other tasks than economy before them.
The story is very homely and home
like. All obstacles are ~surmounted.
The foundation of the novel is import
ant and 1t would have been better, 1t
seems to the every day practical mind.
If this talented author had made it
more sharply and in detail a story of
rigid economy. Everybody gets along
too we'll. They are too courageous.
OF course this is the way any chickens
ought to be under adverse circum-
stances. but it is not made convincing
that even the Carey family would have
move along so pleasantly. There is so
little chance for saving money now
adays that the great American nov
elist, whoever he or she may be,
ought to write a great American novel
built around the genuine difficulties OF
the average American family who finds
that its income has been cut off by
death.
Mrs. Wiggin has started the ball roll
ing, but she has selected types that
are too easily handled. Her story, OF
course, is one of uplift and of courage
under adverse circumstances. AS for
its literary quality. it is only necessary
to say that it comes from Mrs. Wig
gins pen.

TOO MANY SICK SOLDIERS.
Army Surgeon Says Ill Men Keep
Good Ones Out.

Washington, Aug. 3O.-Army sur
geons are urging the war departm ent
to act with greater promptness in
discharging soldiers for physical dis
ability instead of trying to patch up
worthless men for duty which they
cannot properly perform.
The chief surgeon of the depart
ment of the east has called attention
to some specific instances where SOL
dierS transferred to recruiting depots
with a view to their discharge had
been held under observation and
treatment for several months.
'One case" he says, diagnosed
neuritis,' remained 21s days; another
'ununited fracture, 161 days; still
another hammer toes 1913 days.
When it is recalled that these men
were probably on sick report at their
posts an average of 80 days before be-
ing recommended for discharge, it is
reasonable to estimate that the gov
eminent lost by the present plan with
these cases alone the equivalent of
the services of an effective soldier for
more than an entire enlistment.
THE army is neither an eleem osy-
nary institution nor a place for ply
sically inefficient and such should not
be kept in it to the exclusion of fit
soldiers Four months should ordin-
arily be the maximum period for
keeping men on sick reports, then
discharge and the soldiers home. If
recovery ultimately occurs. the ques-
ton of re-enliStme nt can be consider
ed on. its m aritS''

ASKS CHURCHES TO HELP.
Lloyd George Says They Can Prevent
Suffering.

London. Aug 3O.-David Lloyd
George. chancellor of the exchequer,
while laying the cornerstone for a
chapel at Heath, appealed to the
Christian churches to right the wrongs
from which the masses are suffering.
There are multitudes in the coun-
try, who, notwithstanding grinding
toll, do not earn enough to keep body
and soul together he said. There
are members of Christian churches
who never have missed a delicacy, yet
they become angry when another class
of the population makes an effort to
ameliorate its condition.
Let them cease reviling and con-
slider the conditions under which mill
lions of poor workers live. If they do
so they will realize their responsibility
and remove the causes for another
disturbance.

SOLID TRAIN OF RAW SILK.
Five Car Loads Valued at a Million
China to san Francisco.

st. Louis, Mo, Aug. S0.-The spe-
ciaI train Of raw silk which passed
through ST. Louis is making remark
able time. This special train consists
of five baggage cars, as the cargo IS
too valuable and has to be handled too
carefully to ship in freight cars The
roads are also under contract to get
the shipment through in such linn
tied time from San Francisco to New
York that the heavy baggage cars are
better suited for the run. Even these
cars have to be specially prepared for
the shipment of silk.
The five car loads are valued at over
a million dollars, and the silk was sent
from China by steamship to San
Francisco. From there it was hauled
by the Western Pacific and Denver &
Rio Grande to Pueblo, Colo, where
the Missouri Pacific took charge of it.
The train left San Francisco at 7:40

whom he renowned when it was

The suit which Owen L. Collins, his
father, brought as his next friend,
| to annul the marriage, will be dis
missed, and the war which has al
most wrecked the two Glendale
homes will be ended. This announce
ment was made last night after John

gan Collins, in her fight against the
annulment proceedings, had received
a letter from Louis Clam organ, father
of Mrs. Collins, stating that a recon
Citation had been effected.
The letter reads:
John Collins called on me last eve
ming, as expected, and made the pro-
position to withdraw the annulment
suit and let the whole matter drop
out of existence if we would agree to
do likewise and promise not to enter
any suit in retaliation.
He said his father had authorized
him to make this proposition. 1 told
him that 1 would be glad to settle
the matter out of court, and if his
proposal met the approval of Mrs.
Cora Collins attorney, and I thought
it would, we would join them in
bringing this notorious sensation to
an end. He seemed much relieved
and assured me that his father would

Il believe the suit will be dismissed
and a reconciliation effected at once, -
said Higdon II have advised the C1a-
morgans all along that this would be
the best way to settle the case, and
have believed, as has Mrs. Collins
that Collins would return to her"
Friends say only the formalities re-
main to effect the reconciliation.
Collins and his wife have been
meeting secretly, according to Hig-
don. He said Collins paid a visit to
the Clamorgan home last Sunday
night Friends of the Clamorgan
family, who have not deserted them,
say that Cora Clamorgan Collins is
happy once more. There is a sparkle
Never since John Collins left the
CIamorgan home, after telling her he
believed she had a trace of negro
blood, has Cora C1amorgan Collins
given up the hope that her husband
would return to her and their g.
months-old daughter. Louise. Even
when the suit was filed to annul their
marriage and leave her without sup
port her faith in the love of John Col
Inns was Steadfast-
She repeatedly declared her love for
him and refused to allow her father
to bring a charge OF wife abandon
ment against him She was heard to
say she would wait until John Collins
was FL years old and his own master,
and then in spite of his remuneration,
she was certain he would return to
her and marry her again If need be.
Tt was Owen l. Collins father of
John, who first heard the report that
the CIamorgans were negroes instead
of descendants of Spanish grandees as
they said. He told John Collins what
he had learned and demanded that
the marriage be annulled. John Col

vowed on the last day he spent with
her that he would return.

Parsons, Kan, Aug. 3O.-The Katy
has been planning some extensive bet
terments of its track, as well as its
equipment, but the Improvement of
the Neosho division depends upon the
up to the public utilities commission
of Kansas and when that is arranged
then the work on that division will
commerce. The trackage in Kansas is
IN good condition, with this exception
and that will come in for some i'm
provements in a short time.
Extensive track improvements are
now being made by the Katy betwe
Austin and north Texas points and a
force IS now at work putting down
e1ghty-five- pound Steel widening the
cuts and banks and putting in addi-
tional ballast over a stretch of track
totaIlng ITO miles in length
IN ADDITION to putting in the heavier
steel, the Katy is giving the track
eight inches of gravel ballast and is
widening the banks to eighteen feet
and the cuts to twenty-four feet, max
ing them standard
It is learned that approximately
$1.500,0OO is being expended on the
work now under way and some idea
or the size of the plan may be learned
from the fact that force of 1900
men is employed
The Katy is also remodeIine a
number of its depots and is putting in
a large number of additional side
tracks, which will improve It's facilf-
ties considerably. These improve
ments Will be completed in time to
handle the fall crops and will enable
the Katy to give expeditions service
when the cotton movement begins.

states to San Diego; Monroe highway,
passing through most of the southern
states to New Orleans and thence to
Austin, Texas; and the Lee highway
running along the Atlantic coast to.
Miami, Fla The only states through
which none of the roads will run. if
the plan is adopted, are Vermont, Mich

be so changed that all of these states.
with the exception of Michigan, will be
included in the plan. Michigan is so
situated between the great lakes it is
impossible to include it.
1t is estimated the seven great high
ways proposed would not exceed a COM
bined length of 1900 miles, which at the
estimate of $4,000 q mile, would bring
the cost of the system up to the figure
of S144, 100000.
