Everyone is familiar with the saying

able success. 1.-THE Deep Purple" is far
from being a morbid play. It abounds
with comedy of the very best sort. Ii

SHOULD BE NO DISCORD

1t is a pity that Hon. Claude
Kitchin, of North Carolina, who
has been made the leader of the
Democratic party in Congress,
is opposed to the Presidents pol
icy as to ship purchasing legis-
lation. The fiscal reports show
that one.eight of our exports last
year were carried by American
ships. President Wilson wants
the enormous exports that we
are sending abroad to be sent in
our own ships. Secretary Nc
Adoo presents very able series
of articles on the commercial
necessity of this legislation. He
shows that we are shipping pre-
ducts amounting to two and a
half billion dollars only one
eighth of which is sent in Amer
ican ships. With the addition of
these ships as auxiliary to the
navy no nation in the world
would have so mighty a navy as
ours.
Some one has said that when
ever the Democratic party is in
power it acts the fool and in the
present situation there is a war.

Democratic party, through the
management of President Wilson
has been placed in a position of
such power and influence in the
worlds affairs that nCthing but

Jir.n's
Decision
By II. M. EGB ERT
Copyright. 1915. by w. g. Chapman.1


Jim Bennett sat on the sand of
Tan-tan island and looked out across
the sea, as he had done each day for
more than year. Everybody in Tan
tan knew Jim Bennett, and the ragged
est sbeachcomber sneered when his
name was mentioned. 1t was not SO
much the depths to which he had fall
en- as the fact that he had fallen SO
far.
Three years ago he had left San
Francisco to make his fortune in the
South seas and come back to marry
Elsie Dale. But her father was many
times a millionaire, and had other
ideas for Elsie's future. Everything
depended, then, on Jim's making good
on the copra trading trip, in which he
had sunk his little capital.
At least, SO far as marrying Elsie
was concerned. Her father would
never consent. Jim knew Jack Dale
too well to hope for that. But if the
trip succeeded Jim could afford to bear
the old mans enmity, and Elsie had
said she would.
The ship was wrecked on an un-
charted reef off Tan-tan. Jim saw his
little capital lost. He had barely the
fare home. Despair took hold of him,
then the lethargy Of the life in the lit
tie place. He had sunk down and
down. He had at last written to Elsie
releasing her-and had forgotten.
He had quite forgotten by the time
Elsie's letter arrived. She had told
him that she was going to wait three
years. If at the end Of that time he

did not claim her, she would feel
free. But she loved him; let him re-
member that every day of his life.
AT the end of the first year Jim re-
membered it occasionally. He was
tending bar in one of the island sa-
looms. AT the end OF the second year
he had a haZy recollection. Then he
was doing odd Jobs, in his sober mo-
ments, along the wharf. At the end of
the third year, when he was nothing
but beachcomber, he remembered

it would carry letter for him. No let
ter had been at the post office; and
yet, when Jim looked up and saw a
young, athletic American, neatly
| dressed, with sun helmet and blue
glasses, approaching him, he was sure
| that he had come upon business con-
| corning Elsie.
Jim looked up lazily from among the
little group of fellow loafers, and won
dered how any man could find the
| energy to walk at that gait in such a
| sun. The young man drew up to the
| group and stopped.
Amy Of you men know fellow
named Jim Bennett?" he inquired.
The man nearest Jim nudged him
| lazily; the rest did not even shift their
| eyes from the far horizon.
"Pm Jim Bennett" said Jim, rising.
He saw the astonishment upon the
young mans face.
| will you please come over here?"
asked the stranger
He led him about fifty yards away,
out OF the hearing of the others. He
might have saved himself the trouble
for those who were not asleep in the
shade had already forgotten Jim's ex
istence. When they stood together up
on the sand the young man took Jim
by the shoulders and swung him round
facing him.
| Are you Jim Bennett or are you
lying?" he demanded, in crisp nervous
accents.
For an instant Jim felt the res mt
ment that would have come to any nor
NAL man at such treatment; but then
he remembered that he had left his

LUMBERMEN MEET

An elaborate program has been laid
out for a special meeting of the Nor
thern HemlOck and Hardwood Manu-
features association to be held
in Milwaukee today to discuss
quality of manufacture and sales.
The projected five year campaign
in this state to reinstate hemlOck
in popular favor as a build
ing wood has developed the need,
though only one month of five years
has passed, of better standardized
methods of production and of sales, in
order to take advantage of the expect
ed increase in demand for hemlOck
lumber
The conference at this meeting
will be only for the discussion of grades
and sales, and will have among its
problems the selection of a statewide
standard of inspection of lumber,
with better inspection system in the
association, by whicha specified grade
of lumber from one mill will be of the
same quality as the same grade from
another part of the state.
