 Her gray eyes widened, the color flushed through her transparent skin. Suddenly and vivldly Stanton was re- minded Of Floyd's face on the first night when he invited the mechani- clan to race with him for the season.
 You are asking mel" she doubted.
 'T would like to do so. But not If you think Floyd would refuse to let me. if he were here. He can't have much of an opinion of me"
 "I wish I might tell you what Jes thinks of you" she made grave an- swer. q am quite sure that he would let me go with you. Mir. stanton; you are very good and I thank you from the bottom of my heart"
 The little old Irishwoman in black silk opened the door for him, beam- ing and smiling. Amazed at himself bewildered by a sense of having seen Floyd and yet not seen him, Stanton went down into the practical city street
 He spent two hours in selecting an irreproachable play and theater; & task of some delieacy in this his na- tive town. After which. he ate a per functory dinner and went home to dress. Stanton, whose overbearing willfulness spared no one. whose rough tongue hurt his mechanician as often as they met, would no more have taken Floyd's sister to dine with him in a public restaurant without Floyd's permission, than he would have stolen his purse.
 It was a dazzling Jessica whom he found waiting for him. at the appoint ed hour. Yet she was simply gowned in delicate gray. with demure lace collar that came up to her round chin. and long lace sleeves. It was her vivid. expressive face: the bronze curls massed under tho wide gray hat the splendid glow and young vi-

One kidney remedy has known merit.

 That remedy is Dosn's K idney Pills.
 Putnam testimony proves it reliable.
 Daniel Whittemore, 52 Walnut street, Putnam, Conn.,, says: "My kidneys were at fault for over two years. At first there was pain across the small of my back and then an annoyance from the kidney secretions set in anc disturbed my rest. Whenever l eaug ht cold. it set tied in my kidneys and aggravated my trouble. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I thought they might help me and procured a supply at Dresser's Drug s ore. They removed the difficulty with the kidney secretions and the pain in my back disappeared. l have had no return attack of kidney complaint"
 The above statement was given March I, 1906, and several years later Mir. Whit. temore said: aI still hold high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills and you may con- tinue to publish my former endorsement. have had no kidney trouble to speak of since this remedy cured me-"

 On her left arm, over the transpar- ent sleeve, she wore an antique silver bracelet fully four inches in breadth; a singular ornament, set with dull tur- quoise matrix When Stanton assist ed her to remove her cloak, at the theater, she suddenly winced.
 "The bracelet-it caught my arm," she explained, before he could ques- tion. "It is too heavy, really, to wear"

An official bulletin issued in

goods, as against an import To-
tai from that empire Of S12, 900, :
600. These figures differ ma
tesially from the Russion figures
which are admitted to be more
accurate. According to Russia.
we now sell her 500, 600, GOO
worth Of goods and buy from
her about $17,OO0,OOO worth Of
goods. The fact chat goods are
frequently consigned to middle
men in England or Germany who
forward them to Russia accounts
for the discrepancies in the 6g-
ures. Our trade with Russia
is at any rate a growing one. It
is not negligible as a factor in
the friendly solution Of the pass
port problem, although higher
considerations must and will
govern the negotiations looking
to a new and satisfactory treaty

Mentioned In Bible.

Two drummers. Geo. Graham

in the smoking car of the Bel
mont passenger train on their
way to st. Louis, one day last
week, they had both boarded the
train at Fredericktown, after
selling good bills Of goods to the
merchants and were going in to
st. Louis for a good time, the
train as usual was about two
hours late. You know, said
Graham, ! always feel safe on
the Angel Maker because it is
the only railroad | know of that
is especially mentioned in the
Bible. How's that? asked Bar
ham; well, said George, in the
first chapter of Genesis, oath
verse, we read; And God said,
let the earth bring forth the liv-
ing creatures, after his kind and
creeping things" That last
sentence evidently referred to
the Angel Maker, for if we
haven't been creeping into st.
Louis today / give it up. That
is the reason / say the Angel
Maker is the only railroad /
know of that is mentioned in the
Bible. Well, said Barham, | am

it in this case. -Fredericktown

The Portageville Critic, a So
cialist publication recently
launched BY Col Dick MapleV
and Chas. M. Walker in the City
of Portageville, Missouri, we
presume to hoodwink the ignor-
ant class Of people, is presenting
IA TRADE of buncumb. AS ex-
pected, when the editors of that
inconsistent sheet presented
themselves to the public, they
have chosen the wild, brazen
tactics characteristic of their
party, and shows lot of
hatched-up delusions which
should interest the public only
on account Of the absurdities
therein contained. The Critic
is a lamentable piece Of bOtch-
work, and unfortunately there
are a number of people who
freeze to this kind of literature,
using slang expression. We
presume those who relish a lot
of dope on the Socialist line
will soak in all the trash dished
out by the Colonel and his
enthusiastic co-worker, who if
given the proper encouragement
will no doubt print the Critic
regularly.

Several of our citizens have
been attracted since Saturday
night by strengthening man
walking up and down the river
carrying lantern and followed
by two small dogs, attached to a
sled. From reports it seems that
he chooses between the hours of
eight and twelve o'clock to mean
der on the frozen ice, and it is
said several small boys on see-
ing him decided to get in speak
ing distance, but the man, rather
than be accosted, fed to the
Illinois side of the river and hid
behind an old clubhouse. Much
discussion has gone the rounds
pro and con as to the meaning of
this peculiar and strange indi-
vidual who braves the cold blasts
to mark time on the frozen
stream. One well known local
authority who is particularly
familiar with the works of Sher-
lock Holmes and other noted
discoverers, in talking to a Her
aid reporter said he was satisfied
he would unravel the mystery in
a few days even at the cost of
human life perhaps a thousand
boy scouts and a few local tin
soldiers. Another theory is that
the man is a cub reporter on a
local publication and desired to
familiarize himself with the
temperRtnre Of the weather In
order % give bis readers a cor
rect summary Of iocEl condi-
tions.

In freezing ice cream, salt is
used on ice for the purpose of
producing cold. The suggestion
that it is used to preserve the
ice from melting is absurd on
the face of it. the effect being
exactly the opposite. Although
ice and water at 80 degrees are
at the same temperature, there
is an amount Of latent heat in
the latter that is absent in the
former. To turn water into ice
it is necessary to expel this
latent heat, and conversely to
turn ice INTO water a certain
amount of heat must be absorb
ed, which becomes latent-that
is, not apparent to the senses
in the water produced. Now,
the chemical effect of mixing
salt with ice is to start it to
liquefy, but since there is latent
heat to be absorbed the resulting
liquid drops to a lower temper
ature. When Fahrenheit invent
ed his thermometer he imagined
that the mixture of the ice and
salt would produce absolute cold;
therefore at the lowest point he
could reach he marked his zero.
But the science of today know
that the real zero, that is, the
point where the last vestige Of
heat has been expelled, is about
450 degrees below this point.
While this extremity Of cold has
not been fully reached, it has
been so nearly approximated as
not only to liquefy hydrogen gas.
but to solidify, or freeze, it.

Human nature is the ever

President j. G. Schurman of
Cornell University said Sunday,
at Ithaca, N. Y, in an address
to the Cornell Socialist Club. He
expressed the belief that social
ism would not relieve the poor
of their poverty" and would
destroy the well-being and pros
perity of all other classes of the
community" Declaring that he
yielded to none in interest in
the great problem Of improving
the condition of the toiling mass
es, President Schurman analysed
the present social state and the
relation that capital bears to it,
and continued: Now, if we
pulverize the institutions of ex-
isting society and set up a so
cialistic state and transfer to it
BY cDnhsication all capital at
pr@ent IN the hands nf private
owners, what gain would come
TO the poor as a result Of this
