Good BREEDING.

We see world OF pains taken, and
the best years of life spent, in col

his speech to a good suit of clothes

The sheriff himself escorted them to

hours before. Mr.. Morgan showed no
resentment against the youngsters,
and even insisted on sending a young
hound to the home address of each

It, "that'll be a real comfort to yore
family, an will be mighty useful when

Several Of Mr.. Morgans famous blood

young men who had a start of at least
a thousand feet and every incentive

Brockett and Solano, their journey
once more interrupted, lost no time
in lamentations or vain objections.
The circumstances we're hardly suit
able. They struck out through the
Arkansas hills, making remarkably
good time, and doing all their COM
planning inwardly. Baron Zollern and
the epithets most appropriate to that
noble German could wait, but the sher-
iff Of Little Rock was hardly likely
to do much waiting. After hustling
along through the underbrush for per-
Maps twenty minutes, the sounds Of
pursuit died away to a far-off MUIR

space, though still pushing doggedly
ahead.
Clear OF Little Rocks outskirts, the
boys made sharp detours around sew

sundry negro cabins Coming up to

skulk by under cover of a hedge. when
Solano suddenly halted.

something we've really got to have"
A pleasantfaced old lady answered
Solanos knock: and the Cuban, with
the utmost politeness, apologized for
the intrusion. I'VE would not have
disturbed you," he continued, but for
the~fact that we are quite a ways from
a store, and we really must have
some pepper. Could you favor us with

fastened to present them with lib
eral quantity of fiery cayenne, and
then urged them to sit down and rest
awhile. With polite excuses Solano
explained the necessity of quick re-
turn to the imaginary camp, and they
trotted off, Solano exultant, Brockett
deeply mystified.
What on earth is the pepper for.

Meet With Taft.
The conference adjourned this after
noon to meet informally tomorrow
with President Taft at Washington
and discuss rural credits, and to meet
formally next year at Colorado Springs
at a date as yet undetermined. In its
dying hours it adopted resolution,
which in the opinion of many dele
gates, sounds the knell Of the time
honored mortgage on the farm and
pressages the advent Of a new financi-
al era for the farmers Of the country.
Should the intent Of this preliminary
resolution attain fruition, the govern
ors believe that 1t will result in the
establishment Of the new system Of
state banks throughout the United
States, governed by uniform state
law. These banks, under the resolu-
ton, would be financed by private cap
ital and would operate under legisla-
ton sufficiently elastic to enable them
to issue bonds for short or long terms
upon American farms, in lieu Of mort
cages.
The bonds in turn, in the opinion Of
the governors, would be listed under
state supervision on the stock ex-
changes Of the world.
The governors, or many OF them,
will leave here tomorrow at 9 o'clock
in a special for Washington. Before
tonight the executive
committee appointed Miles C. Riley Of
Madison, Wis, secretary and treasurer
and John Franklin Fort, former gov
ernor of New Jersey, manager. Mr..
Fort will have charge Of the program
me of next year. The conference
adopted a resolution congratulating
Governors Wilson Of New Jersey and
Marshall Of Indiana upon their election
as president and vice president.
