Germans Still Strike Hard.
The Germans continue to strike
hard blows on the allies lines in their
endeavor to get through to the coast.
Thus far they have found every road
blocked, but apparently disregarding
losses, they continue to attack. The
floods, the Belgian army and the Brit
ish feet have barred their way.
Southwestward along the coast the
Germans are now striking on a line
stretching from Ypres in Belgium to
La Bassee, further south in France,
but seemingly with no more success.
Town Retaken Four Times.
The stubbornness of the fighting
along this line may be gathered from
the fact that the town of Messines,
which the Germans now occupy, has
been taken and retaken no less than
four times since last Saturday, each
time with enormous losses in killed
and wounded
Attacks have also been made along
the entire battle front as far east
as the VOsges region, but, according
to the French report, with the Ger
mans having no more success than in
the northwest.
May Be Last Effort.
The belief is growing here and il
also has been expressed by those re
turning from Belgium that the Ger
mans are making a last effort to gel

Coffee's Weight on Old Ago.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit Of others.

Blame Russian for Attack.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE German
point of view of the Rusos-Turkish war
is presented for the first time in a
dispatch from Berlin. Earlier advices
telling of Turkeys attack on Russian
ports and vessels apparently placed
the responsibilities for hostilitiies on
the Porte, but in Berlin it is stated
that it was in reality Russia which
started the war. Turkeys action is
said in the German capital to have
been a natural sequence to the "Rus-
sian attack on Turkish integrity"

pick out a number to know him by in

and whether she had better get divorce
before he comes out or wait until he
gets bad-health pardon.
Say. I'm on to the high finance game,
amt 1? And little redtop Suzanne had
plenty reason to study it up. A guy
came up here to the Office of Perkins &
Partner, jingling a bunch of handouts
in one hand and dragging a public ac-
countant by the coat tail. and started in
to investigate the Ready Beaten Egg
Company from the cellar up. He
chained Perky to the knob of the safe,
so he would know where 10 find him
when he wanted him, and it looked as
if we were going to be pushed right into
the high finance class, whether we want
ed to be there or not. Somebody start
ed a fool idea that it was crooked TO
sell stock for one hundred dollars a
share that was worth ten cents pound,
delivered F. o. B. Kalamazoo, and they
came up to see if we could qualify for
cool cell on the third tier, right hand
side Of the old building.
1t don't do any good to explain to
those fellows that the Ready Beaten
egg is the greatest invention since Mr..
Bell discovered how to order a sirloin
steak over a copper wire. 1t don't do
any good to trot out documents that
prove the Ready Beaten egg to be the
SWEETEST little curio that has been set
afoat since Edison learned how to smear
Caruso over a wax cylinder and grind
him out OF a large tin horn in six thou
sand, four hundred and seventy-two
places at once. 1t don't do any good to
show him a prospectus that says in
good black type that, if all goes well,
the Ready Beaten egg will make more
money for the stockholders than any
thing invented since the Wright broth
ers showed the world how a man could
go high enough in the air to butt him
self seven feet into the ground when he
fell. The prospectus stuff goes all right
with the simps, but you have to show
these other guys Just how you are too
wide in the beam to get through the
penitentiary gate, and even then they
want to take you up there and try it.
The best alibi Perky had was that he
did not look like a respected citizen,
never knew Morgan, and had neevr
tried to put over a railway combination
in his life. The guy with the handouts
said those were palIiating circumstances
and would go a long way when Perky
appeared before the grand jury, but he
wanted to see the Ready Beaten egg. He
was from Missouri all right.

the neck he must be Investigated by a

and plead immunity, and get out a re-

practical moments, cheaply sentimental
"a little cottage with lighted windows,
the moon and stars and plenty OF snow
on the ground. But the cheering words
of Christmas sentiment that were under
it redeemed it from all that is cheap and
commonplace. The little verse haunted
his mind all day, and before night he
found himself saying it over and over
to himself.
Then he got the engineers wife on
the telephone-for a telephone was one
of the blessings of life that Dick was
supplied with. He thanked her for the
card and asked her where she got II, and
in reply she told him Lydia's story.
There is not much more to tell. Work
was slack on the lonesome ranch at that
particular time of year. and Dick Rob-
inson decided that he would start the
new year by making trip to New York.
So, couple of weeks later, armed
with a letter of introduction from the
engineers wife to Mrs. James, he turned
up at that lady's boarding house, and
the following evening, duly introduced
by Mrs. James, he visited the cramped
little apartment where Lydia and her
brother lived
He didn't propose to Lydia on the
spot. He stayed in New York for
couple of weeks but before he went back
to Montana he had secured a promise
from Lydia to marry him in the early
spring and to go with him to the ranch
in Montana
Lydia did marry him in the spring,
and she said good-by to the clipping
bureau forever. The life on the ranch
helped her brother gradually back to
health, and Lydia and Mr.. Robinson
were as happy as every one should be.
As for Mrs. James-she spent her
next vacation in Montana. The invita-
ton to go was accompanied with a
ticket, and the firm gave her an extra
long leave of absence. That is the only
romance that came to her from Lydia's
marriage. But she was quite content
with the roll of matchmaker.
