So she is a very important person;
and she is uncommonly successful at

But the tale is that when Arch
duchess Maria Josefa last was sum-

herself Francis Joseph was in a ter

beaten. and that meant complications,
and Maria Josefa was in a terrible
rage because of troubles with her

Unluckily, this picture of Mlramar

Sassenach on the bloody field. Then
Cluny blew a melody so fierce, so
eldritch, so grinding and blistering to
the soul, that every clansman ripped

Damage to Corn Crop by Drought.

Columbus, o., Dec. 9. - What last
summers drought did to the corn
crop will be set forth in the forthcom-
ing December crop report of the
state agricultural commission. The
1913 crop was but 1O8,S64,12O bushels,
averaging SO bushels to the acre,
while that of 1912 was $4,000, 900
bushels, averaging 40 bushels. The
corn shortage is reflected in the price,
which is now Sc cents; this time last
year corn was selling at 40 cents.

She went back to her chair and sat
for a long time gazing at the flames
which fiickered around the gas log.
The daily paper was lying on the table
at her elbow, and her glance at length
fell upon some large black letters
which presently resolved themselves
into xtrordc Than cha rnad fhie advpr.

hasn't gone and bought whole years
supply Of neckties! And 1 was going
to get him neckties for Christmas.
That's just the man of it. l don't see
why he couldn't have waited a little
while. Let me see. suppose I'll have
to get him a fob or something like
that, now"
1t was on the following evening that
Frederick Allison suddenly turned to
his wife, after dinner, saying:
"Oh, Juliet, l want to show you a
fob that l bought for myself today. It's
just the thing I've been wanting for a
long time"
Juliet's enthusiasm over it was much
forced, as her husband might easily
have seen, and perhaps did see. After
they had dropped the subject she hap
pened to glance at his scarfpin and a
new joy sprang up within her. She
would get him a scarfpin for Christ
mas, for his old one was rather out of
style and never had been an expensive
one, anyway.
by the way, DEAR" said Allison the
next evening, Il bought something to-
day that I'd like to have you look at"
OF course, it was a scarfpin. Juliet
knew it would be the moment she saw
the tissue paper package which he
fished out of his vest pocket. She pre-
tended, with brave heart, to think it
was very pretty, but she fancied that
she could have made better selection
if he had only permitted her to have
the chance.
At the Office Allison had told the
boys Of the splendid plan he had hit
upon for the purpose of keeping his
wife from buying impossible things in
the shape Of Christmas presents for
him, and it was with great satisfaction
that he reported day after day how he
was progressing.
Christmas was only a week away
and Juliet lay awake a long time
