Plea for More Hyqienic Gravy.

STRAY Shots" the weekly paper is
sued by the inmates Of the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth, offers this
mild suggestion to the cook: IF the
gentleman intlusted with the task OF
making brown gravy to accompany the
T-bone steaks served at this great cul-
mary center, will take the trouble to
read a few lines in any old cook book
he will discover that 1t Is impossible
to use hot water and produce lumpless
gravy. If he has any spark of SYM
pathy in his soul he will realize that
uncooked -four is the bosom friend OF
indigestion. A little regard for the
great regiment that feasts here should
furnish comfort in the consciousness
of duty we'll performed"

How did he know Of unprotected Jes-

carriage. Or rather. how did he know
of .Stanton's feeling Of responsibility
toward her? The mechanician was
supposed to take his chance with the
driver. Perhaps delirium had revealed
the close bond Of friendship between
FLOYD and himself.
At the railroad station, tall young
man approached him, as the train
whist1ed in the distance.

"You don't remember me?" the
young man tried again. Have you

lowed you on the afternoon you were
arrested for speeding your machine In

Stanton put out his hand, the poign-

The driver turned an amazed resent

why, he answered. however glacially.
Eyes, sir"
The reporter beamed at him, radiant.
II knew it," he called, above the
roar and clang Of the starting train.
II knew 1t was all right"
A dull gray sky arched above a
snow-patched landscape, flurries Of
snow were in the harsh air. Stanton
sat with unseeing eyes directed out
the window, chin in hand, much as he
had found Floyd sitting In the west

GOING THE LIMIT.

ator Thornton as he boarded an ele.

YES" replied the conductor, but
see you are going the limit in trying
to be comfortable"
How is that?" inquired the senator,
with an uneasy tremor in his voice.
Without voicing his views the con
ductor pointed at the senator's neck,
and Mr. Thornton grabbed 1t with
both hands.
Senator Thornton did not even have
a transparent collar or necktie. He
had neglected putting them on until
the last minute because Of the exces-
sive heat and then Jared forth without

But gradually the last traces of de-
urium faded out. Slowly his superb
health reasserted its dominion and
brought Stanton back to normal life.
The fractured bones knit, the other
injuries healed.
He never spoke Floyd's name Sec

to him. The head of the Mercury
Company came out from New York TO

DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL
PARKS.

More room for the settler and more
food for the markets will be the out
come of a newly organized investiga-
ton and soil survey which the gov
eminent has entered upon on the ma
tional forests of the west. Experts
ment of agriculture, in cooperation
with the forest service, are working on
a study Of the agricultural possibili-
tss of all parts of the national for
ests where it is probable. that farm
crops can be grown with profit, and
1t is probable that there will be avail
able for farming purposes within two
years between 100000 and 100000
acres, providing homes for 10000 to
$4,000 families.
This area of land which will be re-
leased for settlement is larger in size
than the combined area of all Of the
land on the governments irrigation
projects of the west. The action in
restoring the land to entry is in accord
with a policy entered upon by the
forest service seven years ago, but
until the present year there was no
appropriation which made it possible
to carry on the work of classifying the
agricultural lands Systematically and
on a large scale. July 1 an appropria-
ton of $4,000 will be available to
carry on the investigation. Without
special facilities, however, the forest
service already has examined and
classified rs chiefly valuable for agri-
culture more than 100000 acres, or
land enough for IL, 900 homes.

A trio of professional story-tellers
were in a cozy corner OF the club,
spinning yarns. Brown had just told

other two glanced at each other ques-

It was two weeks later when Ralph
Stanton first reopened conscious eyes.
this time upon the immaculate dreari.
ness of hospital room. A linen-clad
nurse stood beside him, and at the
foot of the bed was a gentleman un-
mistakably medical.
Better, Mr.. Stanton7" queried the
latter, breezily professional.
Floyd" Stanton whispered, with
difficulty. Where Is Jes Floyd?"
The doctor surveyed him oddly, hes
itating. But the nurse stopped over
him, her expression altering to impul~
sfve compassion.
well, very we'll" she assured hasu-
ly. "Jes Floyd has gone home. Try
to rest; try not to think of things"
He had known the truth before he
asked the question. Stanton quietly
turned his face to the wall and faint
ed, being very weak.
In his next conscious interval, he
put another demand.
Miss Floyd? She is alive?"
Eyes, oh yes" the nurse heartily ST
firmed. Yes, indeed"
Once more Stanton turned to the
wall. Jessica had not died when Jea
did, then, according to her prediction;
the tie of kinship had not held so far.
She was in the little apartment, alone.
Later in the night his steady, silent
gaze drew the attendant to his side.
What is it? You are suffering
more?"
ASK her to stop singing" he
begged. ut wasn't my fault. Ask her

The nurse took a glass from the
table.
There is no one singing, Mr.. Stan

He averted his gaze, and remained
mute, unprotesting. After that he
never lost memory again; not even
in sleep, for he dreamed. Day and
night, hour after hour, Jessica's mo-
notonous song beat through his sick
brain.

An industry unique in the
history of Richmond is that Of
Frank Baptist, maker of roll
ers for printing presses.
Starting over fifty years ago,
Mr.. Baptist has followed. the
printing trade up to the pres
ent time. During that time he
has worked in the pressrooms
of our largest papers. From

nected with the Richmond
Press. He resigned that posi-
ton, like many another young
man Of that day, to fight for
the Stars and Bars, joining
Parker's Light Artillery from
Richmond, and served contin-
ually in that company during
the four years of the War Be
tween the 0tateS.
Part Of the time Mr.. Baptist was
detailed to the Treasury and Post

time.

Dietz Printing Co.
FOR IDEAS

That a business enterprise could
possibly suffer from a reputation
which has been built up by years of
patient, honest effort is admittedly
unusual and apparently paradoxical,
and yet the Dietz Printing Company
finds itself embarrassed by the press
ure of work which taxes the capa-
city OF the printery. The trouble has
been that August Dietz has hitched
his chariot to star and has set a
standard for the Dietz imprint that
few. II any, can reach, and when
competitors are asked to figure on the
real classy work which their limited
equipment forbids. the advice is, Go
to Dietz." AS result, Dietz has to
hustle to keep up with his orders.
Having established this high stand
ard for high class work. the idea has
gone forth that Dietz handles nothing
but the high class work. On the con-
trary. the concern is prepared to turn
out anything in the way of CONNER
cial printing-from the cheapest label
to the biggest poster. from the neat
calling card to an edition de luxe.
and to turn 1t out just little
better than their competitors. 1t is
the proud boast of this establishment
that, in addition to its modern and
complete equipment, It is the shop of
nothing Work is designed by experts,
no matter how small the contract,
with a view to making printing that
will pay the customer. and it is exc
cuted by men in every department
who know how.
Personal attention 10 details NO
matter how small the job--that's
Dietz-and that's why Dietz is always
pushed to get out his orders. Incl
dentally. Dietz makes a specially of
designing, engraving and enclosing
in particular, those things which the
other fellow can't donor will he un-
dertake a contract which his experts
think will not be to the best interests
of his customer. His shop is perhaps
the only one in this country equipped
with japanese and Chinese type faces
as we'll as complete outfit for work
in the German, French and Spanish
languages.
One unique feature Of this estab-
lishment is the fact that 1t is located
in the office of the old Richmond En-
quirer at Twelfth and Franklin
Streets. around which clings hallowed
memories. Years and years ago Ed
gar Allan Poe. who was on the staff
OF the Enquirer. used to write for that
paper and maintained an office in the
building. which is an object of in
terest TO visitors.
