STATE MUST PASS ON PLATS
Subdivisions Which Affect Crossings
Must Go to Commission.

Lansing; Mich, Dec. 1.-One law
passed by the legislature of 1915 is
proving a stumbling block to Michi-
gan real estate dealers who are plat
ting land into lots. 1t is the law which
requires supervision of all highway
crossings by the state highway CON-
mission and the railroad commission.
The law was intended to give the
highway and railroad commissioners
the right to change CROSSINGS which
they considered dangerous, but it also
provides that where a new highway
crossing is planned the entire matter
must be submitted to the Lansing
commissioners for approval.

Col. NORWOOD Tells His Side.

Col. John Northwood, Civil war
veteran, has had little peace of mind,
and the happiness of his home has
been shattered since he was married
in 1905. The colonel says so in an
Bwer to the application for alimony
made by his wife, in her suit for di-
vorce. The answer was filed We'd
nesday.
Col. Northwood declares that his
wife is past master in the art. (if
such it may be called) of picking
quarrels. He says she can start
trouble easier than anyone he knows
Of. He also asserts that her taste in
dressing runs to gaudiness, declar-
ing that she frequently toys up like
a Cherokee Indian, feathers and ALL
He tells OF how on last Halloween his
wife dressed up in a loud costume,
donned a false face, and taking a
cane, promenaded the streets of New
Lothrop.
Northwood declares that his wife
constantly nags him about his moth
er, now deceased, and that she ac-
cuses his daughter, Mrs. Mary Bull
lock OF unchastity. He says that his
wife placed a big doll in Mrs. Bull
locks bed on one occasion, to en-
phasiZe her accusations.
Another charge made by North
wood is that his wife is only after
his money, and that it is her desire
to secure enough of his worldly
goods to allow her to sally forth on
the matrimonial market once more,
seeking more conquests. He says he
only has enough to keep him and his
family comfortably.
The colonel says he gets a pension
OF s55 per month.

How to Cure and Store Seed Corn.

On account of the very wet season
this year corn as it comes from the
field has more than the ordinary
amount of moisture. If allowed to re-
main until freezing weather and the
corn freezes in This condition, the
germ in each kernel will have its life
growing power injured, and the value
of the corn for seed for next year
will be greatly reduced.
For that reason it is necessary to
dry seed corn as quickly as possible
after selection in the field by hanging
in the kitchen or furnace room where
heat can be applied and the ventila-
ton is good.
Requirements of seed curing room
are:
l. Ventilation.
2. Heat.
3. Dryness.
Hanging the seed corn by criss-
crossed double cord, placing the ears
between them 50 that they can be
held securely but apart from each
other, is often done and is to be
recommended.
A device sometimes used for curing
small quantities of seed corn is "The
Corn Tree Finishing nails are
driven into an ordinary cedar post
about three inches apart and the corn
placed on the nails. This post can be
placed on a standard and set in a
doorway or window where there is
a current Of air to help carry off the
moisture.

CHAPTER XII. Tho Second Story Man.

 &S%3SS room where Harry Wilker-
 G2A2260 son had lodged her and her | maid pending the outcome of his wild plotting to get possession of Ruth Gal Ions precious papers. Her handsome
 and cruel face was clouded with slow
 wrath, and she cinched her hands
 now and again till the knuckles were
 white.
 For one thing, Mrs. Darnel loved
 the plush of life. Physical luxury was her highest wish, the goal of her lofti. | est ambition. the one price she had set
 on her soul The dull surroundings | she had been forced to accept nauseat- i ed her. She hated Wilkerson for mak- ing her uncomfortable.
 So when he came in, walking very slowly and quietly, she turned on him ! like wildcat.
 Take me out of here" she panted
 'I won't stay here another hour, Ruth or no Ruthr'
 Wilkerson finched. I'm sorry" he rasped, but Drake made q mess of | the whole affair, the police are after | Sing Wah and that girl got away" Mrs. Darnell stopped in her almost | hysterical walk about the room and stared at Wilkerson with burning eyes
 He returned her look defantly. "Td
 never had to do all this if you had | done your part long ago and got the | papers when she was in your charge" | he said But there is no use in cry
 ing over what cant be helped" At this moment Drake entered, pre- senting himself sullenly. He had al- ready received Wilkerson's acrid com | pliments on his astuteness in failure
 and he expected nothing less from
 Mrs. Darnell He was ready to quit
 the conspiracy.
 Jeans quick instinct did not fail her.
 and she instantly smiled on Drake and
 murmured: You poor boy! Now tell
 me all about it!'
 When he had finished his relation of | the mornings experiences, with much
 emphasis on the shooting and his mar.

 "Thanks." said the young man drily, Il have notion that Pm about fed up with your plans and plots."
 Before Wilkerson could respond with the bitter reproaches ready on his lips Mrs. Darnell interposed, curbing her own unruly temper.

THE STORY OF SUGAR

cuoar cane was first introduced into
 Sicily by the Arabs in 7O3, whence it
 was taken to Africa, to Spain, and all
 ,1ong the coast to the Mediterranean
 coa as we'll as to the islands and bor-
 dors of the Indian Ocean. The cru
 saders found extensive sugar planta- lions in Tripoli, Mesopotamia, Syria,
 Antioch and Cyprus, and by the four
 teenth century the cane was being cul-
 tivated in every part of the known
 world where soil and climate were
 propritious.
 It came to South America by being
 introduced into Brazil by the Portu-
 cuese, who brought it from Madeira, and thence it spread to nearly all the other countries of that continent. Col umbus is said to have brought it to the Island of Santo Domingo, whence if spread to Mexico and Cuba. It was introduced into the other islands of the West Indies as soon as they came under European domination. The first sugar crop came to Louisiana by being sent to the Jesuits from Santo Domingo, in 1751, some English au- thorities giving the date at 1737. Science has never determined where the sugar cane originated, and mo- where has it been found in it's wild for many centuries. In the sacred state It has been under cultivation books of the Hindoos, written long be- fore the Christian era, there is this reference: "I have crowned thee with shooting sugar cane, so that thou l shalt not be averse to me-" In the l train of Alexander the Great. during
 the Asiatic conquests, were some indi- l viduals who desisted from the slaugh-
 ter of barbarians long enough to re-
 cord "a reed growing in India which
 produces honey without bees" Thus
 sugar was evidently raised in that
 country as early as 320 B. C.-Wall IStreet Journal.

His Kind of Comfort.

John R. K. Scott, the lawyer, who is |an ardent automoblist, tells a story |of man he :1et while on a trip about |S0 miles outside of Philadelphia. While driving out little frequent led road the lawyer says he came upon

 That's but little reason why should help Harry here out with all kinds of preposterous plans That one of last night nearly did for us all. If she hadn't escaped as she did the police would be at the door now.'

that the reaction from the thought that he had caused Doris death-the sud den surprise of finding him alive and in san Francisco-had shaken his devious and obscure ways he knew so well. Her eyelids almost closed till she was looking at him throAyh mar row slits. She seemed satisfied and turned to Drake. "Please do it for me. she urged again. II know Harry has some good, safe plan in view"
 Willerson nodded "We1l be back before very long. Jean Better stay right here so that can get you on the phone if necessary"
 "Oh, I'll stay here!' she mocked That seems to be my role-staying where you put me-
 He stepped very close to her and looked into her stormy eyes. And if l put you where you most want to be in the world?"
 She saw the passion flaming, as if the mans soul were on fire, and drew back fearfully. Wilkerson understood that movement and laughed grimly She feared him, and he feasted on the terrors he inspired. even where he also loved.
 Once out on the street, Drake sullen- ly followed his companions lead into a still lower quarter of the town. Busy with hic nwn tbonUhfc and ut;ll hof l. ar, from his experiences of the morning, he did not notice that Wilkerson was evidently on the lookout for some one. Once or twice he stopped to think. Once he greeted an old acquaintance and carried on a low voiced conversa- tion, of which Drake heard nothing ex- cept the name "Pell' and he usually 1 hangs out around Adams poolroom." When Wilkerson rejoined him Drake said peevishly. "W here to now?'
 i've got my scheme and my man." was the reply. "It'll be plain sailing i from now on.'
 A moment later Drake was surprised 1 to see Wilkerson step to one side di- rectly into the path of pale faced, quietly dressed young man of about thirty years of age. The individual stopped, stared at the man who had SC rudely interrupted his walk and then recoiled.
 Harry he stammered
 Wilkerson smiled cruelty, but said nothing. The other repeated the name ! and went on. Are you here? Why are you here?"
 His dread was so evident that Drake looked at him curiously. It was strange what d number of queer ac- quaintances Wilkerson had and how deeply most of them seemed to fear him. He listened intently to his com 1 panions drawling tones.
 Yes, I'm Harry Wilkerson. was looking for you. Pell.'
 The man he addressed licked his dry lips and essayed a smile. Long time 1 no see you?' lie said In an attempt at testing tone.
 How long is it, now?" Wilkersor said as if to himself. You got fv, years'-

 pell grudgingly accepted the hant head out and shook it feebly.
 Well just go to some nice place ant sit down and talk over old times, 1 Wilkerson remarked pleasantly.

mockingly. "Since when has old Sam Pell been working? Answer! Since he was broke" He laughed loudly.
 Il came out here to live on the lev el," pleaded the other, his foxlike face white with fear.
 Things too hot for you in the tor rid east? Well, I never went back on a pal, did I, Sam? And I'm not going back on you now. I'm going to put you in the way of some coin"
 At this point they turned into small Greek cafe, and Wilkerson ordered coffee all around. When they had been served and were alone he introduced Drake and Pell and remarked to the former: sam Pell is known as the slickest man in his line. Ain't you, Sam?
 T ain't working that lay any more," was the sulky answer.
 Wllkerson leaned across the table, and his lean face held very evil ex- pression on it. Not working? But you'd do a turn for an old friend, wouldn't you, specially when there's 
 As if hypnotized, Pell stared into the dark eyes fixed on his and swallowed chokingly.
 II knew you would," said Wilkerson. willfully misinterpreting his inarticu- late groan. "Now to business, SamP'
 "Henry!' gasped the other. My names Henry now. Don't call me Sam"
 Well, Henry" said Wilkerson sooth- ingly. 'I declare, I do forget names so easily. Now, want to explain my little proposition. It's just in your line, Sa-Henry."
 Pell bit his finger nails and squirmed on his seat But when the man op- posite him casually pulled out a heavy purse and as he heard the clink of gold he subsided.
 Very rapidly and curtly Wilkerson told him of the existence of bundle of papers that he wished to recover" He laid only enough emphasis on their character to enable Pell to identify them on sight and concluded by say ing: Its worth money in your pocket to locate them and get them back. : Find a girl named Ruth Gallon in one of the hotels here. She has the pa pers."
 PelI rose nervously. Not for me, Wiikerson."
 Wilkerson rose, too, quite undisturb- ed. wen just walk down the street apiece with you, Sa-Henry, and can explain a little more clearlyP
 The outcome was that half an hour later Pell took $50 advance from Will kerSon and promised to recover the papers for him. Before they parted the latter made several little jokes which Drake could not see the point of. but which seemed to make Pell sick with terror
 "Who is that fellow?" Drake de- handed as they were returning to their lodgings.
