That was enough for Carriere.
He left the house in broad daylight,
trusting entirely to luck; and on
his way out of the city he met de-
tachment of troops marching to sur
round his hiding place. They halted
him, but Bulgarian girl, friend OF
his future wife, who was standing near
by, claimed him as her brother, and
he was allowed to go on.
In Bulgaria he married the Russian
girl who had been his principal help
er and incentive, and cast about for
some new task.
Young Ford was as different from
Carriere or the others as a man well
could be. have known Ford for some
years, and / think he is, without ex-
ception, the checklist man have ever
encountered. For one thing, he is a
newspaper man-when he is anything,
that is. Ford never works unless he
has to, and he always makes sure that
any position he accepts does not en-
tail undue effort, mental or physical.
1t was several years ago that Ford
came to me and said he was going
to South America. BY means unknown
he had got together about $1,000, and
he fancied that he could make at least
as much as he spent by doing special
descriptive articles of his travels.
His one mistake was in electing to
go by way Of Europe, more especially,
by way Of Paris. knew the hold
Paris had on Ford, SO was not sur

Another one of che SIX wat Car
riere. He was big and quiet, with
deceptive placidity-not at all the
sort Of man you expected to meet II
you had ever heard of him.
Like many other adventures, Car
riere ran away at sea! Like all who
have ever done so, he paid for his
FUN In sweat and agony. He was a
sailor before the mast for several
years, on coasting vessels, tramp
steamers, trading schooners in the Far
East. He was In the Philippines
when the war broke out, and he was
captured by the insurgents and held
prisoner for several months. He was
engaged in vague, Informed revolu-
tionary plots; he Joined secret soci-
cites that have for their aim the
emancipation of British India; and he
did many other things in many other
places that took him down into the
deeps Of life.
Finally, he drifted to the Balkans,
about the time Macedonia was in the
throes of the terrible revolt against
Turkish rule. Carriere became in
tensely interested in this blind strug-
gle Of a Christian people for free
dom, and he determined to let the
world know some OF the inside details
of prevailing conditions. He believed,
too, that he could be of help to the
revolutionary chiefs in perfecting their
organization in the villages and towns
OF the five vilayets.
In the course of nearly two years
work he had carried out his entire
plan of organization, except in Salon
ika and some of the territory around
that city. He left that to the last, be-
cause it was the most difficult task,
and he thought that, with the pres
tige of what he had accomplished, sue
cess would be more easy. The chief
Of the local committee in Salonika had
rather sinister reputation. 1t had
never been proved against him, but
there were rumors of blackmail.
For several weeks, Carriere lay in
hiding in one Of the suburbs Of the
city, receiving prominent members of
the committee and talking over the
new schemes he advocated. He had
no suspicious at first, although he did
not like the local voivode, and it came
as a wholly unexpected shock when
his secretary was shot down on the
streets at night, after he had ventured
out for brief walk The local COM
mittee claimed that a Greek had done
it, but Carriere was suspicious.
Two nights passed, and then the
old woman In whose house he was hid
ing came to him with a scared look
on her face. She had heard two men
talking in her garden about askares
and the approaches to the house. One
Of these men was the local voivode.

PROFITABLE FEEDING

Difference Shown Between Hog

One Neglected.

The result of different treatments o.
hogs came to my notice last spring,
when a neighbor sold two average
pigs eight weeks old to a man who did
not have any other hogs. He bought
the two hogs to make pork the next
fall and, Of course, wanted to give
them a good chance to do their best.
They were fed wheat middlings, milk
and scraps from the table, In addition
to the pasture they gathered. They
were grade Chester Whites, farrowed

The pigs that had not been sold amy

run on pasture, and when corn was
ready to feed they were fed enough
corn to put them in pork condition,
but when slaughtered ut about tho
same time as the other two they only
weighed 66 to 10 pounds each. There

DISPOSAL or DEAD HOGS

Hog cholera is again prevalent
over practically the entire State
of Kentucky, and We cannot
help but feel that this is due
largely TO carelessness in the
disposition of carcasses of hogs
dying from cholera. Unless we
adopt radical measures, and see
that the statutes Governing the
disposition of carcasses of hogs
dying from contagious diseases
are enforced, the tremendous
losses that the we have had for
the last two years will continue
indefinitely.
We also feel the Inability of
this department to protect the
live stock interests of Kentucky
without the hearty cooperation
of the stock raiser. This Office
is notified daily.of parties who,
through carlessness or ignorance,
have violated the law governing
the disposition of carcasses. For
this reason, we desire to call the
attention of the public to the
following chapter from the Acts
of the General Assembly of the

ROMANS WERE APPLE EATERS

minds Of a certain class of the archie
clogists than that the marks we're
caused by the slipping of the ancient
Romans on apple Feelings.
Nothing is said so far about the
ancient Romans making or eating ap-
pie pie Archeologists of the sort we
mention are researching with all their
might in the hope of showing that the
discovery and invention of apple pie
did not almost Immediately follow
the landing of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth. They suspect, that Is, that If
the ancient Romans were apple eat
ers they could hardly have failed to
discover the one way in which the
apple can be made palatable beyond
expression. Perhaps they may sue
coed in having their suspicion con
frmed: but we doubt it. Nothing is
impossible in the realm of discovery
perhaps, If we except a few things
that have immediate concern for New
England. 1t seems utterly incredible
at all events, that apple pie could
have been made anywhere before
New England matrons began to make
It, and the convincing argument car
be brought forward to support thi:
position that nowhere else in the
world today is apple pie made that
can be compared for thickness, juici
ness, flavor, mountaineering delicious
ness, with the apple pie that is made
in these six states. The ancient Ro
mans may have been apple eaters
+ but it remained for the New England
ers to lift the apple out of the domain
OF common eatables and place it or
the plane of poetry.

Recent research, archaeological and
other. has revealed the fact that the
Romans were an apple-eating people.
Certain pieces Of sculpture long ago UNI
oaythed, of course, showed both Gre
clan and Roman figures in the act of
raising something that looked like ap-
rles to their mouths, but the impress
sion has prevailed among scholars
that these were pears, peaches or
oranges. Some have gone so far as
to advance the theory that they were
lemons. Others still, basing their
statements on the fact that the an.
cient Romans played a game resem'
bling modern tennis, have held that
the round objects so conspicuous in
the plaster cast replicas of some OF
our most advanced and popular art
museums are tennis balls. Need we
say that there is a class of eXtrem
lists which would go even tarther and
/ claim that these round objects are
intended to represent the league
standard baseballs of the ancient
world?
This whole matter appears now
however, to be cleared up by the
announcements from eminent schol
ers to the effect that the round OBJ
iects represent apples. This theory
, Is strengthened by the uncovering in
ancient Roman ruins of pairing knives
and the remnants of cider mills, and
by "unmistakable evidences" in the
pavements of Rome, Pompeii ant
Ferculaneum. A careful examination
of dents along the different promen

PARIS MODES
ARE HELD UP

LONDON, April 2.-There seems to
be an unusual delay in the coming Of
the spring styles from Paris. AS a rule
at the Auteuil race meeting the great
dressmakers show their latest models,
but this year except for some taffeta
coats and skirts, most of the women
wore their winter garments and furs.
This is said to be due to the ex-
perience Of the dressmakers with the
harmon skirt, which was killed by
ridtcule because it was shown too
soon and badly copied. This year the
fashion makers seem to have deter.
mined not to exhibit their latest
models till very late in the spring,
when it will be impossible for the
cheaper firms which manufacture
clothes for the thousands to wait and
copy them.
This has put London back also, yet
there are certain indications here OF
the coming styles. The courts Of this
month have shown that rich brocades
and cloth of gold and silver are to be
used more than ever for evening dress
es. In face, in spite of Queen Mary's
expressed wishes in regard to simpn-
city of dress, there has never been
a time in England when styles have
been more florid, richer materials have
been used, and more jewels have been
shown. The royal instructions that
the fishtail trains must be abandoned
at court were followed Of course, and
there is a possibility that this win
have an effect upon the trains on
ordinary evening gowns.
The pannier dresses promise to be-
come very popular. There we're many
beautiful costumes of this kind worn
at the last two courts of the month
They were modified in style, but UNI
mistakably of the pannier variety.
Dressmakers are confident that the
favorite spring shade is to be yellow.
The fur scrafs have been replaced by
collarettes known as dog collars. They
are composed of Fittings of tulle or
silk stretched on velvet or satin rib
bon. The top frill frames the face,
reaching almost to the ears, and the
bottom frill comes down to meet the
neck of the dress.
The new pagoda parasols have not
been seen as yet except in shop win
dows. They are shaped like invert-
,, ed tulips or Eastern temples or pago-
das. They are made of rick silk and
sometimes handpainted with designs
resembling futurist and cubist efforts
and many of them are bordered with
, feathers of brilliant hues.

In the mineral or inorganic form. Salt,
as usually eaten, tends to float about
in the blood stream, lodge in the It's
sues, and irritate the whole of the
inside of the body.
Some physicians are taking the stand
that an excess of salt in the food is
one of the chief contributory causes of
cancer. It acts as an irritant upon
the tissues and anything which acts as
an irritant is a contributory cause OF
cancer
Certainly the body tries to get rid
of the excess OF salt in various ways,
and it is for this reason that the pers-
piration and tears are salt. 1t Is the
effort of the body to rid itself of the
quantity of salt we constantly intro.

AS TO COFFEE.

From the Springfield Republican:
When doctors differ what are the
rest Of us to do? The Medical Record
in its current number puts part of the
blame for the divorce evil on coffee,
Nerves, sleeplessness, coffee drinking
"a straight chain OF responsibility
is stretched which should dismay the
housewife who prides herself on her
fragrant urn of Mocha. Luckily reas-
surance comes from Columbia Univer-
sity, where poison squad" has been
testing the effects of coffee. and its
| active agent cafsein, and finds that
the results are the exact opposite OF
those with which the laboratory ex-
perts have set forth the injurious eff.
fects of even moderate doses OF
alcohol.
The Columbia investigators do not
go so far as to sanction a debauch
in coffee such as some great workers
indulge in. 1t was said of Balzac
that he lived on 10000 cups of coffee
and died of 40 900 cups Of coffee. It
| is easy for one working at irregular
hours and stealing from sleep as
many brilliant and ambitious men do,
TO abuse the virtues of coffee. But
the Columbia tests indicate that in
moderation 1t is not only safe, but
beneficial, and increases capacity for
labor without any after effect of de-
preston and lassitude. Laboratory
i experiments are not conclusive,
either in this case or in that of alco-
hol, and extended researches would
be needed to test individual idiosyn-
cerned these result simply reinforce
the personal experience of multitudes
of people who habitually use coffee
as a stimulant and experience no Ill
after results. The chief caution given
by the Columbia experts is to people
of light weight. 1t is found that peo-
pie who weigh less than 100 pounds
are more likely to suffer from sleep
lessness as a result of coffee drink
ing than those who carry a heavier
burden of flesh; those of 175 pounds
FOR over seemed practically immune.
but no doubt there are marked in.
dividual differences, as in the case of
tobacco, even among those of light
weight,
