Endurance, Francois own negro boy,
brought a note to Roanoke house on a
morning five days after. 1t read:

Mademoiselle sent a fair sheet of
paper with a few unsteady scratches

Francois known Of that, one wonders ?
Lucy, waiting in that small stately
study with the dim portraits and the
wide vague view across the fields of
the James river. heard the gay hoof
beats of Aquarelle pound down the
gravel under the window, heard Fran
co.'s deep gentle voice as he gave the
horse to Sambo, and waited one min
ute more, the hardest minute of all.
Then the door had opened and he stood
there-the miracle, as it seems at such
moments to a woman, possibly to a
man-of all the gifts and qualities
worth loving.
He had made his precise bow, and
she had heard his voice saying gently:
Good morning, mademoiselle," and
the door was closed; and they were

escape. She rose hastily.
I'm sorry l must go; l cannot
stay"
But Francois had laughed and taken
her hand and was holding it with a
tender force which thrilled her. He
understood. She knew he understood
the shame and fear of a woman who
has given love unasked; she was safe
in his hands; she knew that. With
sigh she let her fingers rest in his and
sat down again and waited.

deep kind voice, my first friend in

scholar"

with the clearest affection in his look.
Yet she braced herself against she did
not know what. The voice went on
with its winning foreign infections, its
slip of English now and then, and its
never-to-be-describe power of reach

crosswise heavenly messenger gripped
the mind of Alike, and she said what

Ouric Carter Martin returned Just
last wo"k from an extended trip West
He LEFT nom" on the 10th Of June and
spent IN" Intervening time vc.y pleas
antly visiting his children located in
Nebraska aad Colorado. The first
stretch OF the journey from home was
made to Falls City, Nebraska, where
he found his son, George Martin,
very happily situated. Uncle Carter
states that this portion Of Nebraska
is very fine and lovely country He
says ii was his plesure to remain for
about q week in his son, Coos home,
and during the time was provided with
plenty to cat, and interesting sights
to see. From Falls City, Uncle Car
ter states that he resumed his jour
ncy, going on to Colorado Springs.
Colo, where his son, K. {. Martin
and daughter, Mrs. Lucy Patton, re-
side. Two weeks were spent at Colo
RADIO Springs enjoying the pictur-
esguc scenery of Colorado and the
fellowship Of his children. After
closing his visit ut Colorado Springs
he went on up to Denver where his
daughter, Mrs. Laura Caswcll, rt-
SIDES, ana mere ne was met by ms
son, j. d. Martin, from Windsor,
Colorado After n weeks stay in the
home Of Mrs. CaSwcil. Uncle Carter,
in company with his sen, j. D., went
to Windsor. At this point the coua-
try is very fine. MIR. Martin says
that he saw one man cutting wheat
from field that was half mile long
and as level MS floor; the man cut
ting it said to him that the yield
would run somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of forty or fifty bushels per
acre. His son, j. D., is in the lumber
business at Windsor. Uncle Carter
says that his son, j. d., is the best
fixed for poultry raising Of any one
he ever saw. The country round
about Windsor produces wheat, al
falfa, irish potatoes and sugar bcets.
All in all the trip was very pleas
ant one; but Uncle Carter was glad
to get back to old Missouri, and st.
Francois county where he has spent
so much of his life and has so many
friends.

PREVARlCATION CHIEF ASSET.
OF CALAMITY SHOUTERS

On July > the gentleman from
Washington tMr. Humphreys an
nounced that the Showers Maunfac-
turing Co. Of Bloomington, Ind, the
largest factory in my district, had
closed for want Of business. lie re
iterates that statement again to day
Nothing could have been farther from
the fact. When he made that state
ment July ., | telegraphed to Bloom
ington about the matter and recelV-
ed the following reply from the man
ager If the Showers Company, Oscar
CravcnS:
showers factory has enjoyed the
most prosperous year in its forty
years business. 1t always closes the
week of july for vacations. 1t Will
resume work next Monday with u
full force Of 1000 men, with orders
enough to run till Christmas, Stone
opcrators forced to work their men
II hours n day to get out orders. EV-
cry factory in Bloomington IS running
full force, and the Wilson adminlstra-
ton is being commended BY all eX-
cept the Republican calamity howl
crs."
Now, if that is the kind Of calamity
that the gentleman from Washing
ton means in my district, ! wish he
would give us more Of it. Not only
the Showers factory, which is said to
be the largest factory of its kind IN
the world, is prosperous, but Bloom
ington is a city in the heart Of the
oolitic limestone district in Indiana,
and the mills are not able to ill their
orders in that territory, and to day
they are building three new stone
mills, at an aggregate cost OF $780,
600. to meet the increased demand for
their product.
In addition to that, in the city OF
Bloomington they are building pri-
vate dwellings and business houses
costing over 100000, every factory
is running to it's fullest capacity, and
business was never better in that city
than it is to day. On Monday follow
ing the Fourth of July vacation the
Showers factory started up, employ
ing a thousand men, 200 more than
the gentleman from Washington said
were turned out Of employment. and
on that day it received 400 additional
new orders. Rather prosperous. 1t
seems to me.-Representative VIM
Cullof, of Indiana, in speech in the
House.

The American Institute of Homeopa-

ton here, where the American Medi-
cal association held its meetings last
week. The president, DR. De Witt G..
Wilcox, of Boston, in his annual adj
dress renewed the proposition that
the American Medical association
should join with the American Insti-
tute of Homeopathy in proving ''the
truth or error" of the homeopathic
theory and practice.
"As Hahnemann besought medical
conferers to investigate the results
of his researches and give them a
fair trial. so today" he said, "the
American Institute formally asks the
American Medical association the
same thing. We have presented to
them dignified but carefully thought
out proposition to appoint commits
sion to cooperate with the American
Institute to make a scientific and
searching investigation into all our
claims and deductions. That PROPOSE
ton is now in the hands of the secre-
