1t was a July evening at the height
of the sardine season. The boats one
by one were coming in around the cor
ner of the mole, and, with a sonorous
roll of their sails, as they were furled,
ranging themselves alongside the va
rious wharves.
One hundred and twenty, one hun

questions or jests, when at the ap-
proach of the one hundred and fifty
first a rumor arose, grew, spread
through the crowd. Something had
happened on THE Trust in God"
What? 1t was not known certainly,
but it was serious. One of the sail
ors was unconscious. Another was
bleeding. The skipper had his fore
head bandaged The cabin boy-in
short, it was a floating hospital. The
surmises grew rapidly.
The Trust in God had just come
alongside The skipper landed with
a bound. His face was agitated, his
clothing in disorder; a handkerchief
dripping with sea water covered half
his face.
We'll, Garandel, what is it? You
have been beaten?" questioned the
syndic.
That is easy to be seen," respond
ed Garandel "Oh, it is not ended.
They want to have it settled by the
commissaire. l will go to the commits
saire."
Without explaining farther he
turned toward the two sailors. Come,
Miroux! Come, Trefentec This is
hardly the place to lower sail" AS
they followed in the wake of their
skipper, Leontine Capedevert, the
friteuse engaged to Joachim Miroux,

Knocked, keenly mortified, but you

Not resenting the compliment and

You may talk of your head. Aren't
you ashamed? And for what, if you
please, have you put yourself into
such a case?"

cask of gold that has come"
Surprised by this sudden inroad, the
shop-keepers, about to put up their
shutters, pressed into the group, in
quiring:

BANQUET, NATIONAL
IN SCOPE,
To Be Held by Democrats at In

Birthday, the 18th.

For the purpose of aiding and
strengthening the Democratic party,
attracting to it the Independent and
the young voters of the country; offer
ing place of refuge for those Republi-
cans who feel that their trust in their
party has been betrayed, and its sol
emn pledges and promises to them
broken; who deprecate its wasteful-
ness and extravaganza in administer
ing the affairs of government, and look
with apprehension upon the steady
strides it is making towards the CEN
tralizatiOn of government, at the eX-
pense of the legitimate power of the
states, and of the rights reserved to the
people; and for the purpose of dissent
mating the principles of the Democratic
party, it is proposed to hold at Indian
apolis, Indiana, (Jetferson's birthday
April l3, 1911, National Democratic
Achievement Banquet to celebrate the
victories which certain Democratic re-
forms have won, viz: The Overthrow
of CannOnism and the Restoration of
Representative Government; Publicity
of Campaign Funds; An Income Tax
Amendment to the Constitution: Elec-
ton of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people; Railroad Regula-
ton; Tariff Reform; Opposition to Pri-
vate Monopolies; the Promise of Phil
ippene Independence, and other re-
forms which the Democratic party have
demanded.
This celebration is to be made a ma
tional affair at which many prominent
and representative Democrats from all
parts of the United States have express
ed a determination to be present, and
indications already point to one of the
largest, most representative and nota-
BILE gatherings ever undertaken for the
party's welfare.

is in closer personal touch with the
great white dome than any other
man living. He has almost come to
offer it the homage and reverence the
Indians once gave it. He insists that
the mountain is the greatest natural
barometer in existence.
While the fact that weather caps
form on and rise from the summit Is
generally known, Mr.. Van Trump has
made careful study OF these phe.
nomena and by them claims to be
able to prophesy as no other weather
prophet ever prophesied. Although
quiet and almost taciturn he can tell
some very interesting stories about
the mountain, of that first ascent

come under his observation in the

Tom Bendelow Of Chicago, One of the
Greatest Builders Of the coun-
try Has Charge OF the
Work.
HIGH IN PRAISE OF SITE
Says Soil is Especially Adapted to
the Game and City VIII Have
One Of Finest Courses in
Middle West.

Tom Bendelow, of Chicago, H., the
most prominent golf course builder
in the country, designer of the Apa-
wants links over which the national
amateur championship was recently
played, and of the Myopia, regarded
as one of the greatest courses in the
United States, has been in keokuk
during the past week laying out the
new links for the Keokuk Country
club, which will be situated on Prices
Greek, overlooking the Mississippi riv-
er When there is any real golf work
along this nature to be done in the
country Tom Bendelow is the man
usually chosen to do it; hence his
coming to Keokuk.
MIR. Bendelow left Keokuk Saturday
feeling that he will be able to give
to Keokuk one of the finest natural
golf courses in the middle west out
sile of Chicago, where there are sew
eral large ones which rank with the
leading courses in the east. The land
is eminently adapted for the purpose
with it's rolling hills and splendid
soil. says Mr. Bendelow.
Several days we're spent by Mr..
Bendelow in drawing up his plans for
construction and he will send a man
to Keokuk at once to start the pre-
liminarv work. The course will not
be completed until some time next
year and will not be occupied until
1913.
Mr.. Bendelow plans for course
about 5000 yards long with war;
Of holes that will please even the most
sporty golfer There will be several
dog-leg holes, couple of blind greens
and one Or two that will give the
rangy golfers an opportunity o.
stretching his game. A detailed de
scription of the course will be printed
in an early issue.
Mr.. Bendelow has laid out courses
in all parts OF the country and in thu
seventeen years that he has been en-
gagged in the work has designed near

President Taft VIII Visit and Scale
Noun. Rainier While on His Visit
to Washington
state.
TO ENJOY THE SCENERY
Sir James Bryce Never Forgot How
he Enjoyed the Trip and Tcid
Mr.. Taft About

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct 7.-Wiliiam
H. Taft, president OF the United
States, was induced by foreigner to
visit and scale the side of the biggest
and most wonderful mountain in the
United States. Congressman Will E.
Humphrey, who is arranging the de-
tails for the presidents visit to west
ern Washington cities, is in receipt
of letter from Washington stating
that the president was largely inf1n-i
enced in his determination to spend
Sunday, Oct. s, on Mount Rainier, by
the stories of the wonders to be found
there told him by James Bryce. Brit
ish ambassador to the United States.
Mr.. Bryce, who was for years presi-
dent of the British Alpine Club, and
who was traveller and mountain
climber of note long before he enter
ed the diplomatic service visited
Mount Rainier with Prof Zittel, the
German scientist in 1888, and follow
ing their exploration of the great
peak they issued a joint note, in
which was the following:
"The scenery is of rare and varied
beauty The peak itself is as noble
a mountain as we have ever seen, in
| its lines and structure. The glaciers
| which descend from its snow fields
present all the characteristics Of those
| in the Alps, and though less extensive
| than the ice streams of the Mount
Blanc or Mount Rosa groups, are in
| their creyasses and serracs equally
striking and equally worthy of close
study.
We have seen nothing more beau.
tiful in Switzerland or Tyrol, in Nor
way or in the Pyrenees. than the Car
bon river glaciers and great Puyallup
glaciers. Indeed the ice in the latter
| is unusually pure and the crevasses
are unusually fine The combination
of ice scenery with woodland scenery
of the grandest type is to be found
nowhere in the world unless it be in
the Himalayas, and, SO far as we
know, nowhere else on the American
continent"
The president found the above, and
asked the dmpdSSduOT duOut II, Will
the result that nothing could dissuade
him from making the trip he now
contemplates on October s. He will
come to Rainier admitting being led
: there by foreigner who knew more
about this one of Americas creates,

the nation himself.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Successful

The reports show that periodical

loads, was forwarded by fast freight
during September in the states that
range from Ohio to Iowa. These mail
