 Urashima clung to the sides, terri jed and scarcely believing what he saw.

 The Sea Princess held out her hand md Urashima stepped out of his boat md clasped it in his and together hey sank down into the purple depths 0f the sea to the hidden green island of the Sea King.
 Here Urashima dwelt, living the life of sea man and helping the Sea King to rule his domain.
 For a long time Urashima never sven thought of his home and family. But there finally came a day when ne said: q must see my father and mother. And besides the net that I brought away in my boat belongs to my father. I must go back to Neza1ne and return it to him lest he should 0e in need of it.''
 The Sea Princess wept bitterly and begged him not to go back, but he could think of nothing else. When he promised that he would return to her as soon as he had given his father the net she let him go. But before he left the sea palace she placed in his hands ] silver box embossed with silver iolphins and very heavy.
 This you must on no account open while you are away from me, ,'' she commanded him. Then she took him up through the water to where his boat awaited him just as he had left it, surrounded, as far as eye could reach, by the red lanterns.
 No sooner had Urashima seated him self in his boat than he fell into a deep sleep from which he did not awaken until he found himself on the rock from which he had embarked on his journey of discovery.

FORESTS TO ASSURE
 PURE WATER SUPPLY

Secretary Houston has just ap-
 proved an az cement be ween the
 depart ent o1 agriculture and the
 town of Stafford, Arizona, by which
 the forest service and the town will
 cooperate to conserve. Saffor1' $
 water supply, which comes princi-
 pally from the Crook national for
 est.
 This is the latest one of many
 uoh agreements. According to the
 rrrrs of the forest servic there are nearly 12O' cities and towns in the west which derive their water
 suppl from lands within the na- tional forests Where these cities
 desire it he government joins hands with the citizens for the purpose of main aiming permanent and pure
 water supply.
 Stock raising, for example, or any other occupancy of the land, which ordinarily would be encouraged, would be inadvisable on a water shed which forms a source of drink ing water. The forest s~rvice recog nizes that water is as necessary g commodity for wooded hillsides to supply as ar sawlogs or mine props. A watershed area may offer an ou~ortunit to Furnish the create | benefit to tte largest ruu:hrr throuoh h supplying an unu"llutod ~ource o4
 water for domestic purposes Contract, like that iu7t made with
 Safford are now in force with Ca
 cade. Colorado Springs, Durango
 and Manitou, in Colorado; Salt Lake City in Utah; and Baker City and
 The Dalle-, Oregon Tn famous
 Bull Run watershed, which supplies Portland, Oregon, Is on the Oregon
 national forest.
 The co operative agreement n each case provides that the land may not be used without approval
 by the town, except for the proteC- ton and care of the forests by seed ing and planting, and forest man agement, so far as the funds for that purpose are available The city, for its part, assists by paying the salaries of the additional guards nee essary to carry out the agreement, and contracts to bear the greattl part of the cost of any improvement, work which it considers immediately desirable.

HEML0CK AS A STATE POISON
Men or Historical Research Satisfied T1at It Was So Used in Ancient
 Athene.

In ancient Athens the prisoner con. iemned to death was made to drink :hS juice obtained by the decoction of lemlock, the seeds of which were bounded in mortar as the first step n the preparation. The poison acted slowly, its efficacy consisting of it's re. 'rigerating power-a process which spread from the lower extremities to he heart, when death ensued, accom-. panied by gpasms or convulsions, symptoms expressly noted by Plato in he case of Socrates. It's action was lntagonized by wine, which was often 1sed as an antidote, heating the pa. tent, and so impeding it's character. st1c action, a result also obtained by he effort and excitement of discus. sion, as was stated to Socrates by the expert in whose charge he was, sc hat the dose had often to be readmin. stered to 9 talkative subject once or even twice. Phocion, the great an. agonist. o2 Socrates (according tc Plutarch) was put to death by the 1raft of hemlock as prescribed by the state, and before him, as narrated by Aenophon, Theramenes was executed oy the same method. Of late years some doubts have been thrown on Pla :o's account of the drugs action, hem lock juice Git is alleged) producing symptoms of q quite opposite kind These doubts, however, have just beer disposed of by the professor of mate ria medica in the Medical school O Dundee, pr. Charles R. Marshall, who n a note communicated to Professor Burnet of St. Andrews, the most re ;ent editor of the Praedo, maintains he soundness of Plato's narrative the doubts referred to being, in hi opinion, unworthy of serious consid aration."

NEW BAGGAGE RULE
 EFFECTIVE JULY 1

The new excess size of baggage rule of the Interstate Commerce commission will go into effect July 1. Forty-fve inches is the longest dimension that win be allowed, without excess charge. For every inch beyond that a charge equal to the charge for five pounds excess will be made.
 It's the man in the baggage car that made the protest. Trunks were getting so long that his work. ing space was gradually being taken away from him.
 The limit in width of baggage car construction has been reached, los inches in the clear, Trunks are stacked on each side of the car with their ends exposed so that the checks can be read. Forty-five inch trunks on each side take up llucly luCllcS Ol lIlc 1OO. lCdNIIS 1o in which to work. The baggage man thinks he ough- to have 2s inches and that to get it trunks should not be longer than 10 inches, but the commission would not gu .so far. Railroad men say that S5 per cent of baggage Is under 45 inches. The minimum charge for excess di- mension will be 25 cents.
 The railroads of the United States allow a greater weight of baggage than railroads anywhere else in the world.
 , In figuring the excess length of baggage a protuberance will count 7 in the measurement. Wardrobe trunks are said 10 be the chief sil- ners. Specimens have been seen where there were protuberances on three sides. They build them that way to protect milady's hat.

sideIIaht on LIoYd-Georae.

On the day Lloyd-George became chancellor of the exchequer he left the house with friend of his boy hood (and his love of old friends is not the least attractive phase of his character). As they talked of his ad- vancement he said: Tn all my ca- reer I do not remember a hand be- Ing held out to me from above and and a voice saying: "Dring i fynoy yma' (climb thou up here). But don't misunderstood me-" he went on, there have been thousands of hands which have pushed me up from be- hind" He does not forget these hands. He does not forget from whence comes his authority and his commission. There have been tir"les when one has feared-times when his light anchorage seemed in danger of yielding to the impact of opportun- Ism. But that memory of his own people, that loyalty to the inspiration of the mountains and the simple tra' ditions of his fathers has saved him and will save him.-London Daily News.

TWO ARRESTED
FOR SW|NDL|NC

St. Lo is, Dec. 1.-Two men, one
giving his name as John j. Murray and
the other as Fred Owens were arrested
here yesterday charged with trying to
swinde Roy Langdon on "fxed"
race at Juarez, Mexico.
1t is charged that confederate Of
the men offered Langdon profit Of
evidence of good faith. Langdon who
drew money out of bank at Wood
lawn, Ill. protested to the police
against the arrest of the two men, say.
ing that the race had been ''fxed'
as asserted, and that President Huerta
was "in on the rakeoff.''
Langdon lives in North Dakota and
was on his way through st. Louis to
Woodlawn, ILL.,, where hd met three
men who offered to "flet him in'' on
the betting.
Langdon and the two men arrested
yesterday, it is charged, put up $50
each and were told by the third man
that they had cleared $4,000 each. A
deposit of $1,000 was asked from each
man as an evidence that he could have
paid the money had he lost.
Langdon telephoned to the cashier
cf bank at Woodlawn for the money,
but the latter refused to send it to
him. He then went to Woodlawn to
see the cashier. The latter handed ov-
cr the money, but telegraphed to the
head of detective agency to save
Langdon from his new friends. The
arrest of two of them followed. The
third escaped.

SELLER
CONVICTED AGAIN

Clark,S. D., Dec. Arnold Reich
ert, manager of brewing company's
branch liquor house at Watertown, was
today found guilty of wholesaling liq-
uors without license in Clark county
He was found guilty Saturday in circui
court of retailing liquor without lie
ense. The wholesaling case was tried
to the court on an agreed statement of
fact, i. e, that Reichert had taken an
order in Clark county for two kegs
Of beer and had shipped the liquor
here from the Watertown warehouse.
A jury was waived and the case was
submitted to the court, who found the
defendant guilty.
The case is in the nature of test
and will be taken to the supreme court
for final determination of the law
governing the wholesaling of liquors.
The law now provides that sellers Of
liquor in more than FIVE gallon lots
shall take out q license in the county
where the warehouse is located.
In this case that county is Codding-
ton.
Another provision provides that q
license must be taken out in each coun
ty where a solicitor takes orders for
five gallons or more. It is under this
latter provision that the case was
brought, the state contending that
Reichert was a solicitor of orders suf-
fcient to bring him under these pro-
visions, while the defense asserts that
hewas operating under his general
wholesaler license procured in Cod
dington county, and that the sale was
not made in Clark county, although the
order was taken there, but that legally
the sale was made where the consign-
ment was delivered to the common car
rier with the shipping charges marked
collect, which in this case was in Cod
ington county.
The outcome of these cases in th2
supreme court will be watched with
great interest by both the "drys" and
the Hwets.'' Solicitors for liquor
houses, both home men and outsiders,
have become nuisance here.

100000 VI0[AT IONS
Of THE |6-H0UR ORDER
MANY RAILROAD MEN REQUIRED
TO WORK BEYOND THE LIN,
IT SET BY LAW.

Washington, Dec. 17.-sF Violations
of the law limiting the service of
train employees on American railroads
to sixteen conservatives hours go to
the very heart of the efficiency and
safety of train operation,' said Com
missioner c. c. McChord, commenting
upon statement issued today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission ar
alyzing the monthly reports of inter
state railroads on hours of service
during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1913.
100000 Violations Reported.
Nearly 100000 violations of the 49,
hour law were reported by 269 rail-
roads during the year. the roads SUBJ
mitting various reasons whysuch vio-
lations were necessary.
The commissions analysis points
OF, however, that while this figure may
appear abnormal to the lay mind, if
must be remembered that 251,1l1 men
were employed in handling trains dur
ing the year and that the excess scrv-
ice probably would not exceed one in
instance to each employe.
Shows Difference in Efficiency
"The difference in efficiency and
safety of operation between various
railroad SYSTEM Mr.. McChord said
SIS shown clearly by The commission 's
analysis in the marked disparity be-
tween the ratio Of excess service to
mileage between railroads serving
practically to the same territory"
The law provides miximum of six
teen hours as the limit of continuous
service for trainmen engaged in the
physical operation of trains.
This law is admittedly being violated
continually by the railroads-many
times unavoidably.
The analysis shows that derallmerts
afford the most prolific cases of ex-
cess service ss,317 cases being attribut
ed by the carrier4 to that generic
cause. Tn 33,36O instances, the DELAYS
were due to coupler and drawbar de-
fects, while 17,753 cases were attribut-
abe to miscellaneous car defects.
The law requires that telegraph op-
rators employed by railroads in train
operators, shall not be on duty in ex-
cess of nine consecutive hours.
The total number of violations of
this law, as shown by the analysis,
was o6,5ss.
"Mv belief is,'' said Commissioner
McChord, "that the carriers involved
will concede to the commissions an.
alysis of their reports such degree
Of attentionas will enable them by
apprising themselves of the prevent
able causes of excess service, to eiimi
nate the majority of eases in which
employees heretofore have been per-
mited or required to remain on duty
for longer periods than sixteen con-
secutive hours"
