Donald, dear, if you could give me a few moments on the quarterly ac- counts"
 Mrs. Bradley rose and beamed blandly on her big husband, who was toasting his toes on the fender
 Bother the accounts!" said Bnd ley, who was somewhat obtuse. Cant you add, dearie?"
 Mrs. Bradley gave him a quick frown, whose meaning was not to be mistaken, and Bradley rose obedient ly.
 "Of course, of course" he revoked, awake at last to the situation. Par don us, he said, turning to the two guests, a serious-faced young man and smiling young woman. If we're still solvent, we'll be back presently" and he meekly followed his wife up the wide stairs.
 The young mans serious counten- ance relaxed into a sardonic grin, and the corners of the young woman mouth were drawn down meaningly- Somewhere upstairs floor was banged with much ostentation.
 The young man spoke first
 At last-alone!" he cried in the voice of the melodrama's ideal hero.
 "Yes,' said the girl with sigh. "so nice of them to leave us to each other!"
 Blessed are the peacemakers," he quoted sententiously.
 "Oh, Kitty is a well-meaning soul" she observed.
 Undoubtedly" said he. Yesterday received a letter from Donald-dictated by Mrs. B., am prone to believe asking me to run up over Sunday and give him my opinion of the latest ad- dition to his stable. He gracefully ig nored the fact that I was up here to pronounce the same horse a skate last August"
 Yesterday" said the girl, initiating his determined emphasis, T received letter from Kitty saying she was dy- ing of ennui and begging me to run up for Sunday"
 So solicitous for our welfare" said he curtly.
 Very much so." said she.
 When we met here yesterday, swear Don was nervous" he declared.
 Kitty acted as if she were afraid we would cut each other dead" she said
 And because We didn't" said he, she expects us to make it up now l haven't a doubt she expects to come back and find us in each others arms swearing eternal fidelity and concord.
 Very probably" unused the girl, she's conjuring up a surprise bless you-my children air to shed on us when she comes down"
 I'll wager Don is smoking up in the den and wondering what's the next move he's expected to make" said he
 Poor, scheming Kitty!" she said, and they both laughed.
 I'm glad we got over it without without absurd unpleasantness," she said.

Standard of Value.

Mir. Editor: That the high cost of
 living is not caused by supply and
 demand Is beautifully illustrated in
 Bulletin editorial of May 23 under the
 title "The Coffee Inquiry" The fol-
 lowing is from said editorial in part:
 "The investigation which has been
 started concerning the coffee syndicate
 is liable to diyulge, at least in this
 line, the underlying cause of the high
 cost of living. To the probe
 of the money trust can probably be at
 tributed the action in this government
 suit It was brought out in the testi-
 mony of the coffee dealers that while
 the production of coffee has more than
 doubled in the foreign field from which
 it is obtained. the price here has like
 wise doubled" The law or rule of
 supply and demand doesn't appear to
 work in this case. Neither does it
 work in most other cases or other com
 modities as rule. Then the editorial
 further says: The Morgan interests
 are shown to be back of Sac Paulo,
 Brazil where coffee is extensively
 grown" It appears that MT Morgan
 and the National City bank of New
 York have invested s10,000,000 in the
 coffee business. Who is Morgan? The Wall street financial king. The Ma
 tional City bank Is owned by the Stan
 dard oil company. These people are not in 1t just for their health but the
 result is that you pay twice as much for coffee now as you did in 1903. As matter of fact, congress supplies MT Morgan's banks and John D. Rockefeller's banks with the currency they invest in coffee, free of expense to them, according to MT. Spaulding's version, or rather the law CD. What ! le f, al h- kor v,C from investing theirs in coal and beef? Congress gives to the coal and beef baron banks their currency free and they invest it in coal lands and cattle
 ranches. By the way. there is over 900,000 bags of coffee in cold storage as it were, holding it to keep up the price. Who then or what then is 1t that
 makes the high cost of coffee? The same rule that applies to coffee ap- l plies to all other commodities. It Is | the private or corporate ownership of money, or both combined. that is the | primal cause of the high cost of liv- l ing, and nothing else, under the pres ent system of supplying the people with money. People may boycott any 1 commodity they choose and substitute
 some other thing in its place. but there | Is one thing they cannot boycott and 1 that is money. Money is an indispen-
 sable factor of civilization. Civilized 1 people cannot well get along without
 money, The underlying cause of the ! high cost of living is the private and

THE BULLETINS SHORT STORY.
AT THE POST MORTEM

You mean without recrimination, and strangers for life, and all that sort of thing. I presume he sug- gested.
 Exactly she said.
 T think we did get over it-or out of it-rather neatly" said he. We are still good friends"
 And the fact that we are good friends relieves us of embarrassment at such a time as this" said she We can hold an autopsy quite cheerfully." i" "An autopsy over the remains of dead sentiment, I presume" said he.
 She nodded.
 Do you think there were any sus- picious circumstances connected with it's decease he asked
 Ne she said, slowly, T should say it died natural death"
 Tt was in remarkably flourishing condition shortly before its death. D said he. You recall the nature of it's end, of course" b Yes" she said. T suggested we were -er-incongruous, wasn't that it?"
 1eS, he said.
 And you acquiesced?' % she said.
 He looked up quickly. It seemed to him there was shade of accusation in her voice.
 T acquiesced because I thought you wanted me to-" said he, because thought it made it easier for you. You wanted me to, didn't you? 
 She was silent
 T say you wanted me to acquiesce, didn't your" he repeated
 "Thls is quito apart from the au- topsy," she said. We were merely trying to find out how sentiment-af- fection-whatever it vas, died"
 He rose and stood with his back to the fire.
 Seems to me-" he said. before we go on with th1s autopsy, we had bet ter find out if the deceased is really dead"
 He tried his best to look at her but she turned her flushed face from him.
 Half of it is dead, anyway" she said.
 Which half?N he asked.
 It was some moments before she an- swered, then she said very softly:
 Yours
 You are mistaken there" he said firmly.
 He moved from before the fire close to her chair.
 Perhaps" his voice shook with eagerness. perhaps neither half is dead"
 Perhaps not" she said almost in- audibiy.
 In the gray dusk Bradley poked his head over the balustrade, and, com pretending the situation. he called down to them in tones of infinite re- lief:
 Say, I'm no end glad the strain of this reconciliation is over. I'll run up and tell the Missus. St. Louis Globe

WESTERN CANADA SENTIMENT.

How western Canada feels in regard to reciprocity has been demonstrated in the provincial elections in Saskatche- wan held the past week. It shows that the growing western provinces are manifesting an enthusiastic sentiment for reciprocity, meaning larger mar kets and against the taxation of food stuffs. This is indicated by the lib- eral victory which prevailed in that province and sends more strength to that party in parliament. It Is the western provinces which are to have an important and continually increas- ing part in the government. The New York Commercial points out that The census returns show that the north western provinces are entitled to a much larger representation in the Do- minion house of commons than they now have, and they will consequently have more influence in parliament af- ter the next election. This is what gives so muc significance to this Saskatchewan election and causes the conservative party in power at Ottawa to lose sleep over the prospect. The publication of President Tafts letter to Colonel Roosevelt on the subject of reciprocity was made much of by the conservatives and was used for all it was worth last week; but Canadian farmers want reciprocity and pay no attention to side issues.
 This gives reason for following Can ada's action relative to the question which has disturbed it so greatly and indicates that there is feeling grow ing there that reciprocity should exist with this country. This means that western Canada is steadily growing force which that government must reckon with.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Word About Noise.

Mir. Editor: I have lived beside the public playgrounds and have had no occasion to complain until the football and half grown youth met, There IS no reason why football should be noisy game, but these boys give vent to more yells and yowls than band of Comanche Indians could give voice to, and keep it up by the hour, much to the distress of nervous and aged people in the neighborhood of the Pearl street schoolyard. A three hours breach of the peace is neither benefi- cial nor instructive l like the boys and desire that they should play any and all games they enjoy six days in the week. All that needs be eliminat- ed is the noise, and strict discipline enforced by the instructor ought to be sufficient to do this. It might be well to debar large boys not belonging to the school from entering the game of football and doing the most of the yell ing There is no reason why play ground should be made public nuis- ance and if the screeching and yelling is not taken out of the game the neighbors are likely to unite in steps to compel the change

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

There are four great crises of feel ing about which all human interest has centered. and will to the end of time; four spots in the souls career where it bursts into flame.
 They are: Falling in love, getting religion, getting drunk and the mad ness of fighting.
 These are the four keys of history.
 They will, or some one or more of them will explain every human ac- ton.
 They are those climaxes of life when man is more than a man, or less.
 The thirst for them is as inborn as the thirst for water.
 The child plays them, the mature seek them, the old recall them.
 These are the four wines that poets drink.
 These are the four passions that lead some souls to heaven and others to hell.
 They underlie the four great inst- tutions of the race; love makes the family, religious emotion the church,

lion it buys to pay the face of the bond, without paying the interest. So the government owns no money of it's own. But then, you know, we have got the gold standard of value. At least there are people who claim to believe we have, but have we? Is there such a thing as a standard of value? We will see later on, and also the part it plays as the cause in the high cost of living The high cost of living, or living anyway. is not con fined to potatoes, hay and wood, and the compliments do not all work in the mill at shillings and live on meal.

Sandusky, o., Sept. 1e.-What
right has man who is supposed
to be dead to breeze into court
and upset all the plans. of his
heirs?
That's what the heirs of Chas.
Bretz are asking, and they are
asking it real peevishly.
Charles faded away from Mid
die Bass Island along about IL
years ago, and it was as if he had
vanished into thin air.

Since then, all his heirs and
relatives have been engaging in a.
grand, free-for-all grab att
Charles property. 4
The heirs got most of it, but
two of Charles sisters had glom-

and decided them away so there
wouldn't.be any comeback.
Two of Charles sons couldn't
see this at all, so they brought
suit to recover the property, say
ing that Charles was dead, and
that therefore the property
should revert to his heirs.
Also, there weer many hard,
bitter words among the relatives
over these things, and the law
yers' fees were piling up fine.
The suit to recover the prop
erty was going on in court today,
when a quiet-looking little man
blew into the court room.
"Your honor" the attorney for
the two sons was saying, there
can be no doubt but that Charles
Bretz is dead-dead and buried
long ago."
"The hi there can't" said the
quiet-looking man, and then the
trouble began.
