President Wilson stands firmly for a
rate OF l cent per pound on sugar and
the removal OF all duty after three
years. This is his final determinaton
and he is confident that a single tariff
measure with such provision can pass.

a low cry, pressed her hands to her
head and darted into the under
growth. Rankin heard it crackle as
she ran; then the cracking died away
and he stood staring at his hideous
trophy.
He understood now what she
meant by her disparagement of his
praises, and the remembrance, the
rising pity, made his love truer and
more intense than before. During
the year that followed, throughout
the fall and the long, cold winter
months he dreamed perpetuaIly of
lake studded with sunshine and a girl
who stood beside him on it's brink.
He understood the shame in her
heart, her swift disarmament by his
discovery of her secret. He Ionged
for her. He looked for her on every
street, but he never encountered her.
If she came back now he would
prove his fidelity. But he had little
hope that she would come. Yet, be-
cause his love was stronger than his
disbelief, he stood upon the wooded
point of the same lake a year later
and waited.
The sun dropped in the sky, the
loon called, a trout leaped among the
lilies, and then, sadly, he turned to
go. She would not come. He had
known it; and something went out
of his life like the sun that suddenly
went out of the sky. And then-she
stood before him.
''You!" he exclaimed, catching her
by the hands and looking at her with
utter incredulity.
Your she answered, and the Joy
in her face reflected that upon his
own. go, never dreamed that you
would come"
"Then why did you Gomez" asked
Rankin.
Because had pledged my word"
she answered. But you-why have
you come here? Surely-surely-"

You think you are pledged. But you

love is so weak that it is to be in
f1Uenced by that unhappy incident? If
you had never told me, but married
me, and l had discovered it after
ward, / should have been just as

She faced him squarely, looking
full into his eyes. Suppose I put
you to the test, she said. Dare you
look upon me nOw-as 1 am-and
then say that you wish to marry
me?"
81 am ready" Rankin answered
quietly. But surely it is not neces-
sary to put me to such a test as that.
It would only cause unnecessary suf-
fering to you. Take me at my word

For answer she Unpinned her hat
and placed it on the ground. Then
she shook out her hair, fold, upon
fold of ripping beauty, till it EMBODIED
her to the waist. She swept it back
carelessly and looked tauntingly at
him.
"Take it" she said, and held out
the glittering strands. Rankin stood
watching her, his arms folded; it was,
indeed, the supreme test of a mans
love, to see his sweetheart disfgUred,

CUT THE WEEDS.

This is splendid weather for corn
and also for weeds. The one is the
friend of the people, the other the
enemy. If it was merely that weeds
are distasteful to the eye, there would
be little excuse for extended sermons
calling upon folks to cut them down.
Binders would be worn or the eyes
could be shut In passing place that
is over run with weeds and no parti-
cular harm would be done.
Unfortunately however, weeds are a
menace to health. They aid in the pro
pagation of various diseases and at
f1ictions and for that reason no mercy
ought be shown them. They are
harmful and dangerous and the law Of
self preservation should impel every
one to cut down and destroy every
weed on his place and to shame his
neighbor into doing likewise.
Every resident Of Ottumwa owes It
to himself, his family and his neighbor
to get busy with the scythe and nov
down the enemy.

Efforts to Increase Salary Of Cato
Sells Meets With Failure in Senate

Washington. d. c., June I'll Cato
missioner Of Indian affairs, will have
to get along on yearly salary Of
$4,000 instead Of $500. as he had
good reason to believe would be the
annual stipend.
When Judge Sells was decided upon
as the man the Wilson administration
wanted at the head Of the Indian
bureau, there was feeling In ad-
ministration circles that man Of his
caliber was entitled to more than
5000 year. It was mentioned that
his law business In Texas was worth
several times that amount and the
opinion generally expressed at the
capitol was that II the government de-
sired the services of such man, It
should be willing to pay him what he
was worth. So the senate committee
on Indian affairs, acting upon . mo-
ton OF Senator Owen OF Oklahoma.
unanimously adopted an amendment
increasing the salary Of the commits
sioner from $4,000 TO $500. There
seemed no doubt the amendment
would be agreed to In the senate and
be concurred IN by the house. But the
senate knocked out the amendment.
When the amendment was read.
Senator Chiffon OF West Virginia
asked Senator Stone OF Missouri.
chairman OF the Indian committee, the
reason for this increase In salary.
Quite little discussion followed,
hut in the end the vice president, sit
ting in the presiding officers chair.
sustained a point OF order BY Senator
Chiffon that the amendment was gen.

BOOST THE ICE FUND.

Ottumwa has no vast tenaments
where the little children suffer intense
~ in torrid spells like that which is
on us now. Fortunate indeed are we
that there are no great number Of peo-
pie here who are SO poor that they
cannot afford the necessity of ice in
days like these. There are q consider
able number Of sick children however
who will be denied the cooling effects
Of the crystal unless the good people
OF the city who are financially able,
provide the Nwherewithal Paying for
medicines and doctors and nurses Is
Z big drain at the best and there are
many parents who must see their little
ones swsltering or burning up with
fever and still not be able f1nanci0ly
ito secure the Ice that would end the
suffering.
The Courier is undertaking the col
/ lection OF q fund to be used in supply
| ting ice to the sick children of the city.
! Ladies whose names honor the cause
Is much as the cause honors them, are
in charge Of the dispensing of the
money. They will see to 1t that every
penny that Is turned into the Courier
buys Ice for some little tots burning
throat or fevered brow.
Do not delay in sending in your
contribution. Hot spells do not last
forever and 1t may be that for lack of
the contribution you might have
given, there will be one more little
grave in the cemetery before the relief
