ImpractIcabllity,

This thing Of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan, says the Popular Magazine. II
you don't believe it Miss Jane Adams,
the famous sociological worker OF Chi
cago, will tell you a story to prove 1T.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy wom-
an who delighted in doing works Of
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields, and on n occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline islands. Soon,
after his arrival on the scene of his
activities the religious nan sent his
benefactress a photograph of himself
and his wife. J
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife, in order to win the on
6dence Of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume Of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting it." 20
The native dress consisted OF a.
piece of woven straw, two inches wide
and eight inches long.

him out from Chicago to take charge
Of the street railway organization.
Night and day the road gangs tolled
on the streets. And night and day
pile-driyers hammered the big piles
down into the mud of San Francisco
BAY. The pier was to be three miles
long, and the Berkeley hills were de-
nuded of whole groves OF mature
eucalyptus for the piling.
At the same time that his electric
roads were building out through the
hills, the hay-ields were being sur
yeyed and broken up into city squares,
with here and there, according to best
modern methods. winding ~boulevaros
and strips of park. Broad streets,
we'll graded. were made, with sewers
and water-pipes ready laid. and ma
cadamized from his own quarries. &C.
ment sidewalks were also laid. so that
all the purchaser had to do was to
select his lot and architect and start
building. The quick service of Day
lights new electric roads into OAK
land made this big district immediate
iy accessible, and long before the fer
ry system was in operation hundreds
of residences were going up. Inc
profit on this land was enormous. In
A day, his onslaught of wealth had
turned open farming country into one
of the best residential districts of the
city.
But this money that flowed in upon
him was Immediately poured back
into his other investments. The need
for electric cars was so great that he
installed his own shops for building
them. But no matter what pressure
was on Daylight, his Sundays he re-
served for his riding in the hills. 1t
was not the rainy winter weather,
however, that brought these rides
with Dede to an end. One Saturday
afternoon in the office she told him
not to expect to meet her next day
and, when he pressed for an explana-
ton

nent. Her act meant n Of so many
erious things that he couldn't CLASH

CHAPTER XVII.

For six weeks handwriting Day
light had seen nothing Of Dede ex
cept in the office, and there he reso
lutely refrained from making ap
proaches. But by the seventh sunday
his hunger for her overmastered him.
1t was a stormy day. A heavy south
east gale was blowing, and squall att
er suuall of rain and wind swept over
the city. He could not take his mind
off of her. and a persistent picture
came to him of her sitting by a WIN
dow and sewing feminine fripperies OF
some sort. When the time came for
his ~pre-luncheon cocktail to be served
to him In his rooms. he did not take
it. Filled with a daring determine
ton. he glanced at his notebook for
Dede's telephone number. and called
for the switch.
At first it was the landlady's daugh-
ter who was raised, but In a minute
he heard the voice he had been num-

her voice.
"Ill tell you when ! get there" he
evaded.
She came herself to the door to
receive him and shake hands with
him. He hung his macintosh and
hat on the rack in the comfortable
hall and turned to her for direction.
They are busy in there" she said'
Indicating the parlor. from which
came the boisterous voices of young
people, and through the open door OF
which he could see several college
youths. $50 you will have to come

Cardui, The Woman's Tonic.

West Baden, Ind.-"For about four

common to women, and I was so poor
ly that I could not do my work.
Since taking Cardui, the woman's
tonic, I am stout, and able to work all

medicine for women. I recommend
1t to a great many ladies.
My daughter is now taking Cardui,
and it seems to be helping her al
ready, although she has now taken
only one bottle. Z
Cardui is the best medicine I ever
took. 1t has done me 30 much good!
It saved my life, and I can't praise
1t too much"

Cardui handy, for use when needed, II
she knew what benefit it gives. In

A few doses Of Cardui, at the right

Pittsburg Man Plans New Residence
%Embodying Some Very Unique
Features.

The new residence which is being
built on the Clearview plan at Mount
Lebanon, P%ittsburg, for A. G. Smith
of Pittsburgh, has some features which
are unique and probably not embodied
IN any other residence in this section.
The house is without stairways or
steps, the slope idea having been SUBJ
stituted. The grade of this slope Is
about ten per cent Entering from the
veranda to the large reception hall
ones attention is directly drawn TO
the unique method employed OF reach
ing the upper floor. In the living
room, which is probably 2Ox35 feet, a
large concrete fireplace and mantel
is the principal feature, with a Wlde
bay window. There are no corners 10
the house, as each of the four ends OF
the residence are of the bay type.
The only wood used in the construc'
ton of the building is to be found IN
the door stills, windows and floors, the
latter of which will be hardwood. The
walls of the building are OF cement
finished with white cement trimmings.

Even the two bathrooms are fitted
with cement tubs. In all there are
ten rooms. The roof Is of concrete.
surrounded with a parapet. the porch

UNITED STATES INVESTIGATE:
HAS MADE A REPORT ON THE
COTTON PEST.
INSECT SPREADS SLOWLY
Has No Wings and Cannot Travel
Very Far in Its Short Life-Not a
Difficult Pest to Combat-TeIIs
Where 1t Winters.

Columbia. - The bureau Of ento.
mology of the United States depart.
ment Of agriculture has just issued
a circular on the red spider, an insect
which, as the Introductory note de-
clares, "is rapidly assuming a posi-
ton of importance among cotton
pests" The circular. based upon e
periments made at Batesburg, Is pre-.
pared by E. A. McGregor, a govern.
ment scientist, who is now making
investigations in the ridge section"
under direction of W. D. Hunter of the
United States bureau of entomology,
who is in charge of Southern field
Investigations.
The minute, reddish, spinning mite
was first noticed in 1Batesburg ca
June /, 1911, and In a months time
had increased SO enormously. that the
effect upon cotton in certain places
was most alarming. The government
thereupon, made Batesburg one OF
its fields of investigation and has
ever since had scientists at work on
tho red spider.
The circular by Mr.. McGregor con-
tains a history Of the tiny pest, a de
tailed description Of him and OF his
habits, q list Of the plants upon which
he Is found to live out his injurious
little life, and the directions for
guarding against him and for destroy
ing him-a list Of remedial measures
which will doubtless be found OF great
practical value to farmers.
1t is, however, not the farmers
alone who are interested in or affect
ed by the activities Of the red spider
for it Is not the field plants alone
upon which he Is found. A number
Of native and cultivated plants, prom
inent among them the violet, are quite
attractive to the ~'cotton mites.

to ask.

answered. MY brothers expenses
have been higher. as we'll. and was
driven to the conclusion that since
could not afford both, Id better let
the mare go and keep the brother"
who bought herr" he asked.
Dede's eyes flashed in the way long
since familiar to him when she was
angry.
Don't you dare buy her back for
me-" she cried. And don't deny that
that was what you had In mind"
Il wish you would reconsider. Miss
Mason" he said softly. Not alone
for the mares sake, but for my sake.
Money don't cut any ice in this. For
me to buy that mare wouldn't mean
as much as 1t does to most men to
send a bouquet of flowers or a box OF
candy to a young lady. There's no

impatiently, but her eyes were moist
with the momery Of her pet please
don't mention her to me again. II
you think 1t was easy to part with
her, you are mistaken. But I've seen
the last Of her. and / want to forget

door closed behind her.

For months Daylight was buried IN
work. The outlay was terrific. and
there was nothing coming In. Beyond
a general rise in land values, Oakland
had not acknowledged his Eruption
on the financial scene. The city was
waiting for him to show what he was
going to do, and he lost no time about
it. The best skilled brains op the
market were hired by him for the diff
ferent branches Of the work. Initial
mistakes he had no patience with. and
he was determined to start right. as

Daylight long before had g~rubstaked
to literature for a year. The result

But the week had not passed. when
Daylight noted the fash In Dede's
eyes that BODIED trouble.

bought her has sold her already. II

did with her. You haven't got htr,
that's sure, and worse luck. And

Now look here, Miss Mason.
You've got to get some foolish no
lions out Of your head. This money
notion is one of the funniest things I've
seen. Suppose you was falling over a
cliff, wouldn't it be all right for me to
reach out and catch you by the arm?
Sure 1t would. You're standing IN
your brothers way. No matter what
notions you've got in your. head,
you've got to get out OF the way and
give him a chance. Will you let me

business proposition. I'll stake him to

She visibly hesitated.
And just remember n thing. MISS

Still she refrained from giving her
answer, and Daylight went on
strengthening his position.

Sham Rebuke From Governor.

Observation-Disclosures to turn the
state house grounds over to the city
of Columbia, the city to police them,
keep them in order, and make of the
state house grounds a park for the
city, brought forth a sharp rebuke
from Gov. Blease several days ago
and in a letter to the commission on
state house and grounds he strongly
objected to the proposal. Mayor Gibbes
endorsed the suggestion to have the
city of Columbia take charge Of the
state house grounds and use them for
a city park.

Arguments In Important Case.

Charleston.--In the United States

ments in the case of Titus against
the Columbia Granite Brick Company
the suit being an action for a receiv'
ership of the property and an injunc'
ton restraining further issue OF stock
and other protection CT the rights OF
stockholders The case involved
many questions Of law in the long
pleadings of the cause. Titus has sold
certain lands to President Hyatt OF
the company. The defendant corpora
ton claims that Titus is simply 2
creditor and not a stockholder and
that he can not maintain the position
that he holds in law.
