adventure with an Irish hack driver In
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin. -.
Il asked him how much he would
take to drive me to Hotel ," he
said, The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states. aren't
you" answered yes.
WELL he said, since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day, I'll drive you to
the hotel for three shillings.'
AS I thought that was reasonable,
got into the hack. We drove on and
on for hours, over hills and across
streams, until we finally got to the
hotel. While driving, wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won.

Caesar and the Empire.

The reason why the Roman EN-.
pire succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need of
a strong central power FOR many
years the republic mad been desolated
and the cry of the whole people was
for peace-peace almost at any price.
Now, peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy OF a single man, rul.
ing with absolute and Irresistible
sway. So the people acquiesced in the
change They even hailed 1t with JOY.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair. but most men
were pleased with the revolution
which made Caesar supreme. Not
that they were monarchistic at heart,
but that after the devastating strife
they wanted peace, even though it be
at the sacrifice of some of their uber.

Smile Counts.

Every one likes to see d smiling
face and to smile becomingly one
must cultivate cheerful and sympa-
thetic condition of mind. The face
wreathed in smiles is like a perpetual
sunshine in q house. It is irresistible
and conquers all hearts. A smiling
mouth loses half its charms II the
eyes do not correspond; for the eyes
are the windows of the soul, and the
smile that lies only about the lips
soon dies away. leaving an Indifferent
spirit to survey and chill the world.
Cultivate the art Of smiling not with
your lips. but with your eyes. Every
one can have laughing eyes. They
are not matter OF Inheritance, nor
can they be acquired with the aid OF
the masseuse and the professional
beauty specialist. Love is q great
transformer. The sternest features
may be softened. the hardest natures
humanized by love.

why, is it as bad as that?'
He shook his head.
Nothing exciting. But I'd sure like
to see any blamed old slide get the
best of me, that's all. I'm going to
seal that slide down so that it'll stay
there for a million years. And when
the last trump sounds, and Sonoma
Mountain and all the other mountains
pass into nothingness, that old slide
will be still a-standing there, held
up by the roots"
He passed his arm around her and
pulled her down on his knees.
"Say, little woman, you sure miss a
lot by living here on the ranch
music, and theaters, and such things.
Don't you ever have a hankering to
drop it all and go back?"
So great was his anxiety that he
dared not look at her, and when she
laughed and shook her head he was
aware of a great relief. Also, he noted
the undiminshed youth that rang
through that same old-time boyish
laugh of hers.
"Say," he said, with sudden fierce
ness, don't you go fooling around that
slide until after get the trees in and
rooted. It's mighty dangerous, and l
sure can't afford to lose you now"
He drew her lips to his and kissed
her hungrily and passionately.

she did not happen to possess a house

chafng-dish suppers in the big living
room for their camping guests were a
common happening, at which times
Daylight allotted them their chores
and saw that they were performed.
For one who stopped only for the
night it was different. Likewise it
was different with her brother, back

One day, stopping to mail a letter
at the Glen Ellen postofice, they were
hailed by the blacksmith.
"Say, Daylight" he. said, "a young
fellow named Slosson sends you his
regards. He came through in an auto
on the way to Santa Rosa. He wanted
to know if you didn't live hereabouts,
but the crowd with him was in a hur-
ry. So he sent you his regards and
said to tell you he'd taken your ad-
vice and was still going on breaking
his own record"
Daylight had long since told Dede
of the incident.
"Slosson?" he meditated, "Slosson?
That must be the hammer-thrower

to Dede. "Say, it's only twelve miles
to Santa Rosa, and the horses are
fresh"
She OWNED what was in his mind,
of which his twinkling eyes and sheep

tisement, and she smiled and nodded
acquiescense.

ley" he said. tits nearer that way"
There was little difficulty, once in
Santa Rosa, of finding Slosson. He
and his party had registered at the
Oberlin Hotel, and Daylight encoun-
tered the young hammer-thrower him
self in the Office.
Look here, son. Daylight announc-
ed, as soon as he had introduced Dede,
1--WE come to go you another f1utter
at that hand game. Here's likely
place"
Slosson smiled and accepted. The
two men faced each other, the elbows
of their right arms on the counter, the
hands clasped. Slosson's hand quick
ly forced backward and down.
You're the first man that ever sue
ceeded in doing it, he said Lets
try it again.
Sure" Daylight answered. "And
don't forget, son, that you're the first
man that put mine down. That's why
I lit out after you today
Again they clasped hands, and
again SIosson's hand went down. He
was a broad-shouldered, heavy-mus-
cled young giant, at least half head
taller than Daylight, and he frankly
expressed his chagrin and asked for
third trial This time he steeled him
self to the effort, and for a moment
the issue was in doubt. With flushed
face and set teeth he met the others
strength till his cracking muscles
failed him. The air exploded sharply
from his ten5ed lungs, as he relaxed
in surrender, and the hand dropped
Imply down.
You're too many for me-" he con-
fessed. Il only hope you'll keep out
of the hammer-throwing game"
Daylight laughed and shook his
head.
1--WE might compromise. and each
stay in his own class You stick to
hammer-throwing and I'll go on turn
ing down hands"
But SIosson refused to accept de-
feat.
"Say," he called out, as Daylight
and Dede, astride their horses, were
preparing to depart "Say-do you
mind if look you up next year? I'd
like to tackle you again"
"Sure, son. You're welcome to
fiutter any time. Though I give you
fair warning that you'll have to so
some. You'll have to train up, for I'm
blowing and cbopping wood and break
ing colts these days"
Now and again, on the way home
Dede could hear her big boy-husband
chuckling gIeefully. AS they halted
their horses on the top of the divide
out Of Bennett Valley, in order to
watch the sunset, he ranged alongside
and slipped his arm around her waist

milkpail on his arm.

BIG COTTON CROP.

The size of the cotton crop looms up prominently in the present condi ton of affairs among the mills. The cotton crop report issued by the gov ernment shows that last years cotton baled to the end of February was 100000 bales in excess of the largest previous crop. Last years yield was about 100000 bales larger than the year previous, 1910 having produced 12,7S8,572 bales to 16,723,221 for 1911. This means that there is plenty of cotton in the country, at a somewhat better price, and there is no danger of a shortage curtailing mill opera tions. Because of the amount there has been a much larger movement than in the preceding year, and throughout the country there is a stored surplus of 100000 bales. In- creases in exportation are also to be noted, there having been S,007, ,814 bales sent out from the country of the 1911 crop, to 6.337,96S of the 1910 yield. Though the crop was large the price has ranged between 10 and Il cents a pound.
 Another big yield is anticipated this year and planting has already been started in the extreme south, so that before the end of July this year s yield will begin to get into the mar ket. Each year witnesses an increase in the acreage of cotton planted and the general public has reason to look forward to its supplying the demand and the cutting down of the prices on manufactured goods.

Q,-PIease explain Isaiah viii;19-2, where the Prophet speaks of familiar spirits" and wizards" that work in the dark. GA. 3. S.)
 Answer.-The familiar spirits" are the demons that infest earths atmo- phere, and who are busily engaged in imperscDating the dead-representin that they are the spirits of the depart ed ones, and thus confusing and de- ceiving many, who have not given heed to the instructions of the Scrip lures to the effect that the dead are dead and will not be alive or con- scious until the awakening time in the resurrection. The wizards" are the mediums who act as the agents of these demons, or fallen angels. They peep and mutter and work mysteri- ously in the dark, in place of working out in the open where all may be clear and plain. The powers of righteous ness do not have to labor in the dark and in an underhand way, as they have nothing to conceal. The hungry ones are those who have neglected the law and the testimony s WoFd-and are giving heed to the doc trines of demons They are dissatis- fled and suffer the bangs of regret and remorse because there is nothing to satisfy their cravings in the di- rection in which they are seeking to be enlightened. Theirs is a deplora- ble condition of darkness and anguish of mind, as they have neglected the only real source of comfort and con l solauon-the Scriptures.
