Occasionally a cough depends upon an

Tea plantations In Ceylon have been
In existence only 80 years, yet the an
nual exports of black tea amount to
nearly $20,000,O0O in value. Formerly
coffee constituted Ceylon's main In
dustry, but after disease Of the plant
in 1880 its cultivation was discontin-
ued. Many planters, however, re-
couped themselves by tea and rubber.
Thanks chiefly to the former article,
the islands old prosperity revived. To
day Ceylon boasts 1900 plantations.
Plant necessary to tea cultivation Is
costly but very labor-saving. The
work itself Is not hard; only the eli
mate makes 1t irksome. What is
wanted mainly Of employees is to
watch machinery and feed it from the
stock of tea leaves awaiting treat

/ ly small, and the utter isolation of his
post kept him ignorant. At first he
was convinced that it was merely a
local disturbance and would end as
suddenly as begun. Then, when
realization finally came, 1t was al
ready too late to stop the girl She
would be already on her long journey
What could he do? What immediate
steps could he hope to take for her
protection? Ordinarily he would not
have hesitated, but now a decision
was not so easily made. OF his COM
mand scarcely thirty men remained
at Devere, mere infantry guard, to-
gether with small squad CT cavalry
men, retained for courier service. His
only remaining commissioned officer
at the post was the partially disabled
cavalry captain, acting temporarily as
adjutant, because incapacitated for
taking the field. He had waited until
the last possible moment, trusting
that shift in conditions might bring
back some available Offices Now he
had to. choose between his duty as
commander and as father. Further
delay was impossible.
Devere was fort merely by cour-
tesy. In reality it consisted only of
small stockade hastily built of cot
tonwood timber, surrounding in partial
protection a half dozen shacks, and
one fairly decent log house. The
situation was upon slight elevation
overlooking the ford, some low bluffs,
bare Of timber but green with June
grass to the northward, while in ev-
cry other direction extended an in
terminable sand-desert, ever shifting
beneath wind blasts, presenting as
desolate scene as eye could witness
The yellow flood of the river, still
swollen by melting mountain snow,
was hundred feet from the stockade
gate, and on its bank stood the log
cavalry stables. Below, scant half
mile away, were the only trees visible,
scraggly grove of cottonwoods,
while down the face of the bluff and
across the fiat ran the slender rib
bon Of trail. Monotonous, unchang-
ing, 1t was desolate picture to watch
day after day in the hot summer.
In the gloom following an early
supper the two officers sat together
in the single room OF the cabin, a
candle sputtering on the table behind
them, smoking silently or moodily dis
cussing the situation. Mcdonald was
ford and heavily built, his gray mus
tache hanging heavily over a firm
mouth, while the Captain was of an
other type, tall, with dark eyes and

Looking for owner Of Fingers.

A farmer near Kansas City, Mo-.
is looking for the owner of couple
of fingers he has in his possession.
He went to market with a load of
potatoes and started to sleep in his
wagon during the night before market
opened. He was disturbed by the
moving of the canvas over the load
apd, waking, saw hand slip beneath
the canvas and abstract a couple of
the tubers. The operation was re.
peated so many times that he could
foresee nothing but the disappearance
of the entire load unless he took sum-
mary action. Raising sharp Ratchet
he had with him, the farmer smote
the hand the next time 1t appeared
and the next morning found two
guilty fingers in the wagon. The re.
mainder OF his potatoes were not
molested.

Elect New PRESIDENT

Leonard +, Curtis OF Colorado Ii
.ue newly elected president oil the
Sv.orauo Good Roads association.
AIS election by reclamation at the
.nira annual convention just held
IN denver marked the close of the
greatest good roads convention ever
ue.a IN THIS state.
The ga.nering was the most
forcetul good roads meeting ever
held in Colorado. Five hundred
delegates were present from all parts
of the state, and the most notable
feature of the entire convention
was the one purpose which FREEDOM
mated every action. namely the
working in harmony of all inter
ests to secure the passage of such
legislation as will mean the i'm
mediate expenditure of the state
funds on good roads.
Another important action Of
the convention was the adoption
of articles of incorporation. which
articles will be signed by the
presidents of the various organi-
cations of the state, as well as by
those men who have been most
prominent in the work. This
means the unification of all assoc
iations. and will make the Colorado
Good Roads Association the most
powerful organization of the kind
in the state.
The delegates went on record
as favoring the passage of bill
to provide for the appointment OF
a single highway commissioner and
for the turning over of all internal
improvement funds to the highway
commission. The resolutions also
provide for the endorsement of the
bill which provides for a uniform
annual state automobile tax.
Among those who addressed the
delegates were Governor Ammons,
Speaker Skinner of the House and
Senator Tobin- All of these gen.
tlemen expressed themselves as in
favor of the measures advocated
by the convention, and Speaker
Skinner went further and stated that
he did not believe there would be
a single pork barrel" bill intro
duced in the house.
