He'd. be gone afore they could suspect the kettle. No. that clean kettle said plain as speaking that 1t was one of the six.

He waded out to that flat rock and wash ed out the kettle; then he filled up his pack with stones and put on the boss big boots. After that he had no more to do but to walk up to the hut and back again. laying the false trail. After that he waded out to the rock again so as to leave no tracks. and changed back into his own moccasins. went to the hut and to sleep

Can This Terrible Condition Be
 Overcome?


 It can! It lies in the hands of their more fortunate sister women to ac- compIish it. In every city. town, and village the woman whom God has fa- vored with plenty should rise to the occasion and with might and main make plans quickly for their relief. These bread winners are proud of spirit. They do not ask aims All they want is work which will pay them enough to keep body and soul together
 Who could sleep on her pillow and know that out on the cold pavement in. the city's cold, narrow streets are huddIed women and children who are evicted because they have not the wherewith to pay for the miserable shelter that covered their heads. Let the women who can afford it lose no time in banding together, seeking out the unfortunates, and giving them work. There's always plenty of relief work that can be given themEseWing Of all kinds, knitting, and many fields of usefulnes. A starving woman would be glad to come into a home assist with housecIeanlng, Iaundrying, cook ing mending. making over lchildren's clothes-anything that would turn an honest penny Women Of leisure should organize clubs to raise money immediately to buy materials for un- employed women to make tip little Christmas gifts; not cutting their un- fortunate sisters down to the last cent but paying them liberaIly for the work In the great crisis of hard. times, such as the unemployed are only those can count their laurels who have done their share nobIy to save the lives of their sister woman in time of need.

 VI YOU must understand that from this time on my association
 with November Joe was not
 continuous but fitful and that after the events I have just written down went back to Quebec. where became once more immersed in my business. Of Joe heard from time to time, generally by meGns of smudged letters obviously written from camp and usually smelling of wood smoke. It was such q letter. which. in the fol- lowing year. caused me once more to seek November It ran asN follows.
 MT. Quaritch sir. last week I VFas 1zr1 to Widdeney Pond and see a wonderful red deer buck. I guess he come out of the thick Maine woods to take the T,lacs O that fella you shot there last fall This great fella has had accident to his horns or something for they come out Of his head thick and stunted-liI<e and all oVeF little points.

I'll be down to Mrs. Harding's Friday morn ing SO as can meet-you if you can come There's only three moose using round here. two cows and a mean little fslla of a. bull NOVEMBER
 This was the letter which caused me to seek Mrs. Hardings. but owing tO slight accident to the rig was driv- en up in; arrived late to find that November had gone up to a neighbor- ing farm on some business, leaving word that should l arrive I was to start for his shack and that he would catch me up on the way. November struck my trail and it was long after dark when we reached November shack that evening. As he opened the door he displaced something white which lay just inside it

To make long story short, there was lots of the boys ready to dll dead man Rone's place when they knew her money must be giving out, and the neighbors were wonderful interested to know which Sal would take. But it soon come out that Sal wasn't taking any Of them but had decided to try what she cOn1d do with the trapping herself.

UNEMPLOYED WOMEN

.'The day is done. and the darkness
 Falls from the wings of night As a feather is waited downward
 From an eagle in it's flight.
 And the night shall be filled with mu-
 sic,
 And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
 And as silently steal away.''
 When employment shuts down, rent and the high cost of living Keeps up. and the bowling of the wolf Want, is sounding in the distance. no matter how brave and resolute a woman may be her heart is filled with fear for the future The question looms up before her, what will happen to her now that her means of earning a livelihood has suddenly ceased. She knows she must work or starve.
 No matter how cold the morning, is she must be up at daybreak and join the thrpng of the unemployed who would be first to reach the doors of shop or factory in quest of something to do. Every position is filled. The hundreds who are turned away. dare not give utterance fo their feelings. They must keep on going until night fall drives them back to their. pitifuI shelter of bare room and empty cup board
 E Day after day many drop out of the race, toN weak to struggle against those who are stronger than they Only those who know the miles and miles of walking and the bitterness of the words. We have all the help we need can understand the grief that wrings the bosom Of the woma n upon whose ears those dire words fall.

A CORNER FOR COOKS
Boiled Leg of Mutton.

Wipe a leg of mutton weighing about eight pounds. using a cloth wrung out of cold water. Have the kettle large enough to allow the meat to be en- tirely covered with boiling water. Pour the water from the tea kettle or have 1t boiling in the kettle when the meat is laid in and let the water come to the boiling point and boil fast for a quarter of an hour. Skim well and draw the kettle back to where the meat will simmer until done. It will take about two hours or more, accord ing to size and degrees of rareness de- sired
 Lay the leg Of mutton on a warm platter; gar1dsh with a few sprigs of parsley This garnish will greatly inn prove 1t, for a leg of mutton is not a slightly portion if left ungarnished

 [ am a girl of nineteen, a small bru- nette. considered very good looking. I but after calling once they never ask to call again. I always try to highly entertain them, and they always seem to enjoy themselves while in my com pany. Will you please tell me why they never want to call again? am greatly partial to blond boys, espe- cia1ly the tall ones, and do not care for brunette ones at all. Now, Miss Lfbbey, do you think will be an old maid for being so particular, or do you think the fellow that I admire will come along It worries me great ly to think that [ will be an old maid. Do you think that I could forget a lost love and ever care for another.
 JEANNETTE If you are bound to select your flu ture mate independent of Cupid. the little god may try to tease you by sending only the brunettes across your path for a time. It is the heart, the character, habits and integrity of a. young man which count not the color of his eyes or whether his mus tache Is of the curled, blond type or plain brown or black. Do not worry over being an old maid when you are but thirteen. women never give up hope Late marriages often prove the happiest. Lost loves soon fade from memory.

DARING ATTEMPT AT PIRACY.
Disguised Mariner Attacks Captain,
but Is Oyerpowcred

San Francisco. Jan. Andrew b. Nell
son. master mariner and once a schoon-
er owner. was held here today under
S0o,O bail by the Federal authorities on
a charge of assaulting Capt Reiner, Of
the steam lumber schooner willamette
ON the high seas Joseph Laramie, a
bTicklayer. charged with being an accom-
plice, was held under the same bail Both
men were brought here as prisoners on
the Willamette and turned over to the
Federal authorities. Rack of their arrest
Is the story Of a daring attempt at piracy.
Last Wednesday. while the willamette
was about midway between San Pedro
and Redondo. on Cape Vincent. Capt.
Reiner was reading in his cabin when the
door opened and Nelson walked in. He
wore a white mask. a heavy false beard
and had a cloth wrapped about his mead
in true pirate fashion. He pointed a re-
Volver at Capt Reiner. but the latter
grappled with him, and for fifteen min
utes the two men fought around the
cabin. Finally seaman, attracted by
Capt. RGiner's cries, came running in and
Nelson was Overpowered. Laramie ap-
Feared at the same time and it is alleged
attacked several of the crew.
The Willamette carried sl.50O in cash.
and there were twenty-five passengers on
board. From the fact that a launch fol-
lowed the schooner. keeping distant about
half a mile. for hours. it was inferred
that Nelson and Laramie intended to rob
the safe and the passengers and then es-
cape in the launch.

The speaker eulOEiZed the rising wave
of Professionalism. manifested recently in
the sermon of DR.. Randolph II. McKim

mental principles of Americanism and
outlined the policy of our American fore
fathers to get away from the despotisms

Dr. ColcOrl said in part:
The Church of Rome wisely seeks to

OWNERSHIP OF Wires
BY GOVERNMENT URGED
Representative Lewis Receiving Many
Letters Since His Speech Of
December u.
SUPPORT OF BILL is ASKED

Twice as great showing Of public de-
mand for the postalization of telephones
and telegraphs has been made all over
the country since Representative Lewis,
of Maryland, made his speech on De-
cember % in favor of government own
ership than in the corresponding period
of the beginning of the postal express
fight, according to a compilation of in
quiries at his Office yesterday.
Il have received in the last few days,
said Mr.. Lewis, "a remarkably large
number of inquiries. mainly commenda-
tory. in respect to the plans for the pos
talizing the wires. In comparison with
the interest manifested at the start OF
the fight for a postal express system.
should say that there was very much more
public concern now than at that time.
Not only is Mr.. Lewis getting from
twenty-five to thirty letters daily from all
parts of the United States, asking for
details of his plan for taking over the
telephone networks and operating tele-
graph instruments in connection with
the telephone wires, but other Repre-
sentatives also are hearing from the
country. A great number OF the members
of the House have been asked by con-
stituents to support the bill when ii shall
be reported from committee.
Mr.. Lewis is sure that the success of
the parcel post in its first year has con-
WINGED the country of the wisdom Of TAX
ing over the wires as well.

FEDERATION CONDEMNS
RAISE IN LICENSE FEE
Committee Reports that Investigation
Shows Hucksters and Vendors
Pay Enough at Present.
WOULD RAISE JUDGES SALARY

Any increase in the license fee of
street vendors and hucksters was de-
clared to be unjust by the public health
committee of the Federation OF Citizens
Associations at the meeting of the fed
Grafton last night in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms. This opinion was
given by the chairman of the commit
tee in his report on the resolution OF
the Central Citizens Association. which
advocated a higher license for such
merchants.
The committee, it was said, had not
arrived at its decision until every phase
of the question had been investigated and
comparisons made of the expenses of
maintenance OF stores in. the markets
and the expenses and risks incurred by
the street vender. Taking these items
into consideration, II was declared 81
a year is an ample tax.
A letter was read from the Park View
Citizens Association saying that the
present allowance of water in the Dis
trict of 500 cubic feet for the minimum
charge of $3.50 is not sufficient for the
necessary purposes Of the ordinary fam
lily. An increase to 1000 cubic feet for
the same charge was urged.
+. F. Calladay, chairman of tn.
finance and legislation committee, re-
ported favorably resolution asking con-
tinuance of the present system of trans
acting business in the office of the audi
tor of the Supreme Court of the District,
the amount of the fees paid as costs to
be determined by the court or Congress.
This committee also suggested that the
salary of municipal Judge in the Dis
trict, which Is at present s.. 400 per an
mum, be restored to 5000.
