PAY FOR BROKEN CR0CKERY
Powder Mills Acknowledge Them selves Responsible for Losses
 Due to Explosions.

Explosions in powder mills are fre- quent, as everyone knows, but they occur not nearly so often as formerly, owing to greater precautions, and when they do happen there is little or no direct liability on the part of the manufacturers in them, being purely accidental. Despite that fact, however, the powder companies assume the bur. den of paying for the damage done by the explosions to private property in the vicinity of the mills, which prop erty, in New Jersey at least, by law can be no nearer than one mile to the powder mills. Naturally the articles most easily broken are glassware and crockery, with an occasional breaking of plaster.
 The leading powder company has the name of paying for such damage without delay and with considerable good grace, which fact is taken ad. vantage of by certain householders with a curious idea of thrift or with the idea of putting one over on the corporation" who according to agents of the powder makers, store up all the household ware broken in ordinary do mestic use until there is an explosion in the mill and then send the bill to the powder company. It is claimed that few people, desirous of having the house newly plastered, have delib. erately torn down shaky part and then waited for the next explosion which is duly blamed for the damage Despite that knowledge, the agents say the powder company pays the bill Re- gently the Aetna Explosives paid $8,.

American and English Girls.

Two groups of people sat in chairs on the liners deck. In the first, com posed of two American girls and a man, the girls did all the talking and Hle man listened meekly. In the sec ond group. composed of two English girls and a man, the man did all the talking and the girls contributed noth- ing to the conversation but respectful attention and delighted giggles Here in we may perceive the difference be- tween English girls and American girls.
 If the American woman could see her European sisters in captivity she would have better appreciation o' the freedom which she enjoys and per haps she wouldn't be quite so bossy with her good-natured, easy-going men folk
 Similarly, If the American man could see his European brothers in the thrall of their masters, he would think more of his rights and privileges as a citizen of this republic. He would thank his Maker every night on his knees for his blessings of liberty, which now he regards as a matter of course-if he regards them at all

Wonders of the x-Ray.

A physician in describing the tri. umphs of X-ray exploration, refers to the popular impression that the dis. covery of foreign substances in the body. or fractures of the bones, are the limits of it's usefulness. He affirms that these rays show the size of the heart, demonstrating whether it is di lated and if there is fluid present They reveal any thickening in the pleura and inflammation of the lungs Through them tuberculosis may be detected before the physician is likely to suspect it's presence.
 He stoutly maintains that the entire internal mechanism of the body Is thus to be examined more accurately than by any other method now within reach, ard ventures the assertion that no surgeon will operate and few phy- sicians prescribe in suspected maladies of an important organ. until he has first submitted that organ to this searching photography.

She sat erect, her face slightly averted. but her thoughts appeared to be else where, and 1 plodded on, my heart grown heavy. Beyond doubt she real ized now what the end was to be. In the rush and excitement of the past few days, her natural desire to save me from the death of spy, she had found no time for thought, for consid- eration. She had merely obeyed the swift impulse of the moment. But now, riding this dark mountain trail, all immediate peril left behind. she was facing the future-and regret. Her fathers death, her sudden abandon ment of home and friends, her disloy. alty to the cause with which her sym pathies were enlisted, her forced mar riage, came fresh to her memory like haunting phantoms. Once, I thought, she lifted a hand, and dashed tear from her eye; and her head sank low CT, as though she would hide her face. She was evidently ashamed, regretful, unhappy; if ever she had cared for me, even in ordinary friendship, that feeling had changed into dislike-prob- ably into actual hatred I seemed to feel the change; to comprehend the growing horror with which she con- fronted the future. I wanted to tell her that I understood; that 1 sympa. thized, that I would never consent to stand between her and happiness.

Foolish Anuer.

There is surely no sense in getting angry at life or getting angry at peo- pie. People must go on playing their parts and life must continue to reveal itself in it's nature, full of inconsist- encies and vexations and trials and dis appointments and griefs and wonderful c0mpensations The best we can do is to meet the tests in the spirit that places us, not among the conquered, but among the eonquerors. and that keeps us in a mood where we can en, joy to the full the compensations- Exchange.

The Silver Linino Appears

The Association of Skirt. Dress and Suit Makers have decreed that lovely woman's attire shall be more roomy the coming fall season. This is a bright spot on the horizon for the cotton grower. There are said to be 10000, ,0o0 women in this country alone who wear clothes. and should the fashion require yard and half more cloth for a dress. it would mean consumption of 30.000.O0O yards more cloth. Figures do not lie. Here is ray of sunshine that ought to dissi- pate the gathering gloom. Now if the Filipinos and Chinese and Cubans and other nationalities that aspire for recognition in the world of civili- zation should require that their skirts be made an inch longer cotton, ought to jump like it did when Sully was in the market.-Selma Times.

CHAPTER xxx.
The Trail to Covington.

As I grlpped the horses rein and turned him slowly around l heard a single shot fired in the gorge below. the sound echoing among the rocks. and a spark of fire gleamed through the darkness. It was far enough away to give me little concern, yet the re- port must have been heard by the cav airy squad now well out in the open, for they wheeled their horses and rode straight toward the ravine. Their course would bring them higher up. just to the rear of the church, yet, with suspicious once aroused. twas likely they would patrol the banks, seeking for some passage below. Con- fident the distance between us was sufficient to hide my movements so long as I kept we'll back in the shadow
 of the trees. I led the horse forward. advancing as rapidly as l dared to travel, using one hand to steady Ray mond's body swaying across the sad dle. It must have been a quarter of a mile, or more, to where the forest spread out from the bank into dark tangle of trees, extending half across the ridge.

 horsemen above. yet knew they had
