of care and tenderness, the idol of

Jagged. Was she leaving a lamb
among wolves? Then near to the
door she noticed a man seated at a
desk. His glace followed her brother,
then it rested on her own face. Some
thing in its token of interest in her
self and her affairs, impelled her to-
wards him. She knew not why, but
in an intense whisper she said:
Won't you please look after him a
Iittle?"
Her selection of him as confidant,
as friend, brought to the eyes of
Ransom Ware sudden brightness, in
which his true soul of chivalry of de-
votion to weak and helpless humanity
came to the surface in a flash. Re
spectfully but fervently he answered:
II will do more than that. l will re-

of apprenticeship and help him over

spoke the young lady, the quick tears
of emotion springing to her eyes and
clear to the door the glance of Ware
followed her, queer longing thrill
at heart.

sided over to where the new employee
was stamping the mornings outgoing

MULE FOOT HOG IS NOT IMMUNE
This Hog, Says State College of Agri-
culture, Will Die of Cholera,
and Proves 1t.

ATHENS, Ga.-Dr. w. NJ. Burson,
professor of veterinary science of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture,
is authority for the statement that
the mule foot hog is not immune
to cholera, Notwithstanding state
ments to the contrary.
For the purpose of demonstrating
to the students of the college the
fallacy of the claim four pigs of the
mule foot variety, advertised as the
cholera immune hog" were pur-
chased and each given cubic cent?
meter of blood from a hog sick with
cholera. They all took the cholera
and died promptly. Post norton ex-
aminations left no doubt as to the
cause.
DR.. Burson says, however, that the
breed is a good one, that they are
thrifty, good grazers, prolific and at
tain maturity early. Their solid, I'M
cloven foot gives them the name OF
mule foot"

JUDGE MILLER FAILS OF MISSION
Georgian Could Not Adjust Differ
enCes Between Ecuador and the
GuayaquiI Railroad.

PANAMA.-Failure of his mission
for the adjustment of differences be-
tween Ecuador and the Guay&Gnl
and Quito railway was reported s[,4a.
by cable to President Wilson bx Alex
ander L. Miller, the Americas >om-
missioner, on his arrival here He
says his task was impossible, ow44s
to the impossibility of agreeing with
DR.. Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno, for
merIy minister of foreign affairs, who
is the Ecuadorean arbitrator. 1t was
pointed out that this deadlock would
force President Wilson and President
Plaza to agree to the appointment of
a. third arbitrator whose decision
would be final.
The railway is American property,
and the matters to be settled concern
the transport of Ecuadorean govern
ment troops, interest on the bonds
and indemnity due to the company
for damages incurred in the recent
revolution.
