A Romance of Adventure
By Sir Henry setOn-Karr.

THE incident I am about to relate
happened to me a good many
I l. years ago, when 1 was no more
than 20 years old. I was after wild
reindeer in Norway. These animals
frequent the rocky snowclad mountains
over there. and to stalk them success
fully is often a very long and difficult
undertaking.
Upon the occasion in question I was
on the Dovre field. and had reached
the slopes Of Snachetten, which is the
highest peak Of the field. Except Tor
the company OF my hunter, I was
alone.
Suddenly we caught sight of three
reindeer bucks which were lying near
together in a hollow of the mountain,
some distance ahead, and we at once
prepared to stalk them.
We advanced cautiously over the
crisp snow in the direction of our
quarry, and had gone some way when
we found ourselves confronted by a
steep SnOWslide, about 20 yards broad
1t slOped dOwnWards like a roof of a
house, and at the bottom OF the slide
yawned a great precipice 200 deep.
/ looked round to see If there might
be any other means of approaching
the reindeer, but could discover none.
II was a question of getting over the
way round before being able to get
within range of the game
My hunter did not like the look of
the slide at all. and expressed his in
tention OF making the circuit in pref
ence to running q risk OF being
daShed TO pieces at the bottom OF the
preclpice below, but I, being young
and impatient, did not favor such pro-
ceeding, and, taking my rifle from his
hands, told him that I was going TO
make the crossing He at once hur-
RED off so as to reiOin me as quickly
as possible, while i prepared to make
the attempt.
The danger Of the proceeding did not
occur to me at that time for I was
too much Occupied-With the thought q
the reindeer and the question as TO
how could most easily get over the
20 yards of glittering snow that lay
between me and the further pursuit of
those three bucks. There were two
ways Of getting across. 1 could either
creep across very slowly, and with The
utmost care, or else I could take il
with rush, like a sort of running
jump. Of these two ways, the latter

associate freely together without hiding
their watches and talk issues instead OF

Iowa is singularly blessed in its lacks.
1t has no trusts. no great metropolis, no
smart set. no slums, no country estates
and no abandoned farms. 1t also has no
vast increase of population to asslmllate

of population by the last census, and it
talks of giving medals to its vigilant
police force because of this fact.
Iowa people wear last years fashions
quite extensively, but read tins years

THE HOUSE-FLY AS A CARRIER
OF DISEASE.

What a little girl in Topeka
school writes about fly.
am a fly. I'm not very old and
am just learning where to find the
best things to eat. My favorite
places are in the spittoon in the
sitting room and the uncovered gar
bage can on the back porch. Of
course some flies would be bothered
about having to go out of doors to
get to that can. But it doesn't
worry me. In the house where
live there aren't any screens, so
can fly from the garbage can to the
spittOon in perfect safety l often
stop on the way, though, to get in
the sugar bowl or crawl over any
eatables that are handy.
There's a baby in this house who
annoys me very much. Every time
| leave the spittoon and crawl into
that baby's mouth it cries and spits
me out. OF course l leave a few
tuberculosis germs in its mouth, but
it doesn't seem like that would hurt
the baby.
1t seems to me like people don't
know what is good to eat. At least
the people in this house don't. Why,
they throw away all the good things
They put them in the garbage pail
! am endeaVoring to show them what
good things are, however, for l get
my feet all sticky in the garbage
can, and then go and wipe them on
the bread. About a hundred of my
companions are doing the same
thing. | really believe that the peo-
pie are beginning to like it, for they
never trouble US any more. We wipe
our feet on the bread in peace and
quiet.
| heard the woman across the way
say that she believed flies had some
thing to do with the man in this
house having consumption. / Won
der if he got it from the bread
The woman across the way is los
ing all her flies. They're all coming
over to our house. She won't give
them anything to eat. She covers
up her garbage pail, has tight screens
on all her doors and is a terror to
flies in general. Her children are
such happy, hearty youngsters, while
the children in this house are always
cross. They never get any afternoon
nap. The flies won't let them.
There's a very great deal of Ill
ness in this house. Two of the boys
have malaria and the father is never
well. | heard the mother say to the
woman across the way, 81 really do
not know what to do for all this
sickness. 1t drives me distracted" d"

THE DANGER OF ADENoIDs.

All the fresh air in the world will
not make child healthy if he has an
adenoid growth. This is an obstruc-
ton that forms at the back of the
nose just above where it joins the
throat 1t looks something like a
tOnsil. II develops as a result of
sickness, continued colds and the
like
AS it blocks the nasal passages it
prevents the lungs from getting
enough air through the nostrils.
The child therefore breathes through
its mouth and the air reaches the
lungs without being moistened or
properly filtered of dirt, dust and
other impurities. The lungs may be-
come weak and susceptible to tuber-
culosis and similar diseases.
If adenOids are allowed to develop
they may effect the hearing. They
even cause children to be backward
in their studies and often to appear
feeble minded. Adenoids are very
common.
No medicine will rid you of them.
They must be cut away The opera
tion is simple and not dangerous.
Have it performed If your child has
an adenoid growth. Don't risk his
health or his mental development by
allowing an adenoid growth to re-
main.-Karl de Schweinitz, Execu-
tive Secretary, Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention OF tuberculosis.

Insurance Agents Must Have Lii

State Insurance Commissioner
Charles Johnson has declined to re-
cede from his ruling that all agents
of an insurance company doing busi-
ness in this State as well as the firm
employing agents, must have State
licenses. The commissioner takes
the position that the insurance acts
of 1911 require this supervision, and
that he cannot help it if it does cost
the insurance people more money.
The commissioner has been en-
forcing the law pretty strictly, and
complaint has been made that it is
causing reciprocal complications, but
the State official says that is not
within his province. The depart
ment has been moving against a
number of agencies in the eastern
part of the State under the new
acts. In some cases it is found that
they are not we'll understood, but in
orders changes in methods have been
required. Results of a beneficial
character are being obtained in
many parts of the State by the oper-
alton of the Tener insurance code.

Brought Against l.. r. Loree and
General Miller Over a Railroad
Deal
(New York Sum-

(New York SUM-
Leoner F. Loree, president of the
Delaware & Hudson Railroad, and
Gen. Charles Miller of Franklin, Pa,
are directed to testify before trial in
suit brought by the Occidental
Construction Company to recover
$6,1O0,0OO, under an order signed
Saturday by Supreme Court Justice
Gerard. The defendants will be
questioned as to negotiations with
eX-President DiaZ of Mexico and mem
bers of his Cabinet for a railroad
subsidy which went to the Southern
Pacific after the late +. II. Hartman
took hand in the negotiations.
The order was obtained by the
plaintiff through Lewis Warfield,
who organized the company to build
railroad in Mexico. Warfield says
in an affidavit that he turned the
control of the company over to Gen.
Miller on the latters promise that
if Warfeld would continue his nego-
tiations with the Mexican Government
the company would pay him ST.
100000 out of it's first profits.
Wartield alleges that he went to
Mexico in 1901 and as a result of
negotiations with President Diaz
and his associates the Mexican Gov
ernment agreed to give the con-
struction company a franchise for
| the road and a subsidy of $4,000
600 in Mexican money. Loree, who
controlled the company with Gen.
Miller, was elected president of the
| Baltimore and Ohio in that year.
Speyer & Co, the bankers, had fl
nancial control of the latter road
and had just sold to the Hartman
syndicate the Huntington stock in
the Southern Pacific.
The affidavit alleged that Loree
acted as spokesman in several inter-
views with President Diaz on the
subject of having the subsidy in
creased and Diaz said that Mr.
Harrison" of the Southern Pacific
had come down just before and ask
ed for the same concession, but ii
was refused because negotiations
with the Occidental Construction
| company were under way. The Gov
ernment then made an offer of $12,-
600, 900 in Mexican money and Sec
retary of Finance Llmantour asked
that the negotiations be held in
allegiance several years because the
Government was studying the scheme
to put its currency on gold basis
and 1t would be further embarrass-
ed if it granted the subsidy, because
it was about to get a loan of $780,
! 900 from Speyer & Co.
'Wartield alleges that Loree and
Hartman subsequently had a con-
ference at which Hartman asked
Loree to agree to a scheme by which
Hartman could get an interest in
the concession with the result that
the concession was finally granted
by the Government to a representa-
tive of the Southern Pacific instead
of to the plaintiff. The company
sued Loree and Miller for $1,000
| 900, the amount of the subsidy in
American money and 100000
which the company spent in connec-
tion with the negotiations.

WATCHING THE CLOCK.
Don't Do 1t, and Time viii Pass As
On Wings

A New Haven paper, in an obit-
uary notice of a respected and sue
cessful citizen of that city, tells that,
in his earlier and struggling days,
he worked without watching the
clock" Such men are of sterling
sort. They found families and build
up and keep strong cities, states
and nations. Whether one works
without watching the clock just be-
cause he takes real interest in his
work makes some difference, prob
ably, in the long run.
The industrial and ambitious job
holder is apt to be thrifty and to
save his money; whereas the man
who works because his work inter
ests him is not so likely to become
rich, but he will probably get more
satisfaction out of life, and that
counts for much to one who has
taken off the harness and can give
his time to "reminiscences. More
over, those who work without watch
ing the clock find that the hours of
toll pass as on wings, while to the
clock-watcher time appears to have
the feet of lead.-Judge.

THE HAY BELT.
Pennsylvania n Big Part of the Great
District.

The Rural New Yorker gives the
list of hay-growing states as follows.
Beginning at the seaboard and
going West, the chief hay-producing
states are: New York, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Kan
sas. New York alone, on over o.
100000 acres, produces upward of
100000 tons annually. The ten
states above mentioned constitute the
hay belt of the United States," says
j. Nining Taylor, secretary of the
National Hay Association, who is
arousing a widespread interest in
the important crop. He further
says: ION a total of over 27,000,OOO
acres, over 40,000,000 tons of hay
were grown last year. These figures
are equal to 67 per cent. of the crop
of the United States. Hay dealers
are complaining of a shortage in the
hay crop, and in consequence the
National Hay Association is taking
preliminary steps to begin a nation
wide campaign for more and better
hay, in connection with the Crop I'm
provement committee of the grain
exchanges. These two organizations
should work as a unit, and we are
ready to do our part in advocating
the growing of more clover, alfalfa
and other grass crops, not only for
hay, but as the real foundation Of
soil building for the benefit of other
crops"
