he acknowledged.

Harry Jumped up suddenly.
I'll go and get you one now" he
offered.
Daphne stopped him with a steely
glance, and demanded
Where's that hat I sent here7
Harry stared at her for the moment
with utter Darkness. Then 1t slowly
filtered through his brain that she was
the milliner to whom Mrs. Blazes
had telephoned Daphne misinter-

and with a remarkable imitation Of

much. The more he tried to get out
of his trouble the more new troubles
were invented for him.

can't do that"
Two years ago" Daphne reminded
him, you would have jumped at the

somewhere in the house came the
voices of Lucy and Carolyn calling to
Harry.

"They?" Daphne asked. who are

"one is my sister; the other is-the

most wept. Il didn't mean to get you
into trouble. Hide me, hide me!
Heavens! If there should be any talk
about me-just when my millinery
business Is doing so nicely. You
ought to be ashamed to allow an in
nocent girl to take such chances as
this"
But Harry was hurrying her toward
the library door. At first he had un-
consciously started her toward the
other one, but halted, remembering
that Mrs Blazes was there. He mute
ly directed her TO go into the library,
and then said in a hasty whisper
Don't pay any attention to the
man In there. Just hide yourself in
there few minutes, and I'll get the
girls to go back downstairs on some
pretext."
AS the door closed on Daphne he
left the room and so he did not hear
from the library the voice of the
Count saying:
Well, Ply gracious! Liddle Daphne"
Nor the amazed tones Of Daphne as
she exclaimed:
Why, Count! What are you doing
here?"

Daphne, now thoroughly angry, went
on:

You gave my ring to Cheneral

Sure Daphne replied.
"Mein Colt i'm himmel!'
With one of his rings on the Gen

finger Of the Generals wife. the
thought was too much. The Count
dropped Imply into chair and
wagged his head grimly.
Both rings in der same family!

He smiled easily now, for he be-
lieved he had arranged matters so
that he could eliminate these people
from mis- home ana nave some peace
the rest of the day.
Daphne and the Count meekly en-
tered the library, and Harry ran to
the door of his bedroom and was
about to open it when he heard Caro-

Land Prices.

The 1910 census is furnishing as
tonishing figures regarding the rise
of land prices in the United States
during the past ten years. Land with
buildings in Maine is now worth $25
an acre, an increase of 81 per cent
in ten years; in Vermont the price is
$24 and the increase 80 per cent; in
Connecticut, 500 an acre, an increase
of SO per cent; Rhode Island, $62 an
acre, an increase of % per cent and
Delaware $51 an acre, an increase of
so per cent. In the central west the
rise in land values has been consid-
erably greater. Iowa leads the states
for which figures have so far been
completed with an average price of
$96 an acre for farm land with build
ings. which is III per cent more than
in 1900. In Indiana the price is SIS
and the increase 80 per cent; Wiscon-
sin, $57, an increase of 63 per cent,
and in Minnesota land is reported to
be worth SAG an acre, an increase in
price of u per cent in the ten years.

WINNING SUCCESS
in OLD IOWA
Fred Legg, Young Clerk at Mar
chester, Makes Good on
100 Acre Farm.
MILK CHECKS ARE NEARLY $1,000
Cash Receipts From Farm $4,000
Expenditures for Feed $31 So
Hogs Sell for $2,426.

A complete Illustration of what a
young man of energy and industry is
able to accomplish on an Iowa farm
has come to the attention of the Press.
Fred Legg rents the S. P. McCarren
| farm of 100 acres, four miles north OF
Dundee. He and his wife do prac-
| tically all of the work and it may be
assumed that they do not waste much
of their time. Twelve years ago Mr..
Legg was clerking in a store. He de-
cided that farming was the best bus
mess for the young man to engage in,
hence he hired out to successful
farmer and began to make study
of modern farm methods. He and his
wife put in long hours, worked hard
and saved their money, with the re-
suit that they have been able to buy
farm of 100 acres, paying 500 an
acre, and they have been so success
full that they will not have to borrow
over $500 to complete the $4,000
purchase.
AS an illustration of Mr.. Legg's abil-
ity as farmer, it may be said that
during the past year ne shows actual
cash receipts from the operation on
the McCarren farm of $4,000. He ex-
pended for feed during the year just
$3.50. The proceeds from the hogs
raised on the farm amounted to the
sum of $2,426, and his milk checks
for the year ran up to nearly $1,000.
These figures do not represent sur
plus stock from the year before,
either.
We submit, where is there line of
business in which young man who
has brains and is not afraid of work
can engage with greater assurance of
high profits than in farming? 1t is
the most healthful, remunerative and
independent business on earth, if car
ried on with energy and intelligence.

aware that the party comprised one
single happy family. One B. G. John
son was the head of the tribe which
passed through over the Northwestern
enroute to South America, where he
says he can settle and live in peace
without any hampering laws.
! All the children were under ten
years of age, his first wife being the
mother of five, the second the mother
of four and the third of three of the
Offspring. Both the children and their
mothers seemed to get along most
|amicably, not word of dissention nor
a cross look being seen coming from
one of the party.
Red heads, black, white, brown and
in fact, all shades of hair were to be
seen among the kiddies. All appeared
as happy as the proverbial lark and
the father proudly watching them de-
clared that there was not happier
family in the United States.
The reason for his moving, the Nor
mon states, was because of the recent
law against polygamy which had been
passed.

SHAW WINS LAWSUIT.
Case is dismissed by the Court on the
Ground That Plaintiff Had RIO
Cause Of Action.

The case OF John, j. Prell VS.. l.. NJ.
Shaw and G. F. Kuehnle resulted in
complete victory and vindication
for the defendants in the Crawford
county district court. The case took
up most Of a week, ending on Friday,
when Judge Powers gave his de-
cision.
The case was one in which Prell
charged some wrongful acts against
Shaw and kuehnle some fourteen
years ago, when the elder Prell died,
leaving his farm encountered for all
| it was worth and making a settle
ment of the estate necessary by the
sale of the farm and the stock. The
case attracted considerable atten-
ton, both because of the character
of the action and the prominence
that was given to it by reason of the
attempt made by someone to use the
petition in the campaign last fall by
circulation through the mails against
Mr.. Kuehnle, one of the defendants,
who was a candidate for election as
state senator.
On Saturday morning, without any
arguments by counsel, the court dis
missed the action, accompanying his
decision with some rather caustic
remarks as to the origin and prose-
cution of such an action. The court
held that plaintiff never had any
right of action against the defendants
on the matters complained of in his
petition, and further that it appeared
that the plaintiff at the time of his
dealings with the defendants in March,
1897, had no equity in the land. The
mortgage indebtedness placed thereon
by his father, together with judg-
ments and the debts against his faith
er's estate, more than equalled the
value thereof and the defendants in
doing what they did saved the estate
from unnecessary expense and paid
full value for all they received.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw was present from Philadelphia,
assisting his lawyers and Mr.. Kuehnle
in fighting the case, and the result of
their complete vindication is highly
gratifying to the firm, which has done
business in Crawford county for over
thirty years.-Jefferson Bee.

CARROLL TO PAVE STREETS.
City Council Employs Engiglssr and
Makes Preparations to Proceed
With the Work.

At a meeting of the city. council OF
Carroll last week it was unanimously
decided to pave some Of the streets
of Carroll during the coming summer.
The resolution necessary to complete
the work of the council was passed,
an engineer was employed and all
that could be done looking to a speedy
installation of the paving was done.
Paving will be done on Fifth street
from the Windsor hotel to the G. &
N. w. depot, on Main from Burke's
hotel south to the G.. & N. w. tracks
and on Adams from the Masonic tenn
pie south to the G. G. w. tracks. This
will be good start and will be suf-
ficient>to convince the people of Car
roll of the wisdom of paving the
streets and the work will probably be
extended during the next few years.
Quite large delegation of citizens
appointed by the Commercial club ap-
peared before the council and strongly
urged the necessity of having the con-
templated paving done during the
coming season.
What's the matter with DenisOn
coming to the front and having few
paved streets? Surely Denison can
afford to pave the business streets OF
the city.

THE DEVIL HAS

In the General Makeup IF Il. i ri an
Character the Devil Seer S to

DREAD BEING GOODY GooE
Many Boys Get Into Trouble Because
They Do Not Wish to Be Classsd
With Goody-Good Ones.

1t would seem as if nature had Civ
en- the devil a little the best OF 1t IN
making up human character. This
may sound a little strange, but il
you will stop to think how easy it
is to do wrong, and how hard it is
sometimes to do right, you will real
iZe the truth OF the statement
Every person who is close to the
heart of boy or girl, knows that ii
takes something more than willing,
ness to do right to always keep from
doing wrong. Many really good chill
dren do what they know to be wrong
Just because they do not want their
companions to think they are too
good. Very few boys are as bad as
they are supposed to be by the gen
eral public. Many of them get into
trouble just because they do not wish
to be classed with what are known as
the goody-goody boys.
We have seen many young men &C.
cused of breaking some moral code,
who were entirely innocent, but they
would sooner be thought guilty than
deny it. Take the boys in school
and the boy who is known never to
break a rule Intentionally, can seldom
become leader, but the boy who
would sooner break a rule than keep
it, is sure to appeal to the spirit of
his fellow companions.
This very trait often comes up
when preachers and others attempt to
reform some hayward person. The
dread of being thought too good holds
them to their old ways and makes
the effort for better life doubly hard.
Possibly some day way will be
found to eradicate that trait from
cur nature, and when that time comes,
it will not be necessary to hold re-
vivals to coax men and women from
the maynard path.-Manson Journal.
