Hundred-Foot Standard.

The Western Society of Engineers has had prepared a 100-foot length standard, which it has presented to the city of Chicago. This standard is a steel rod 102 feet long, two inches wide and half an inch in thickness. which rests on rollers secured to sub. stantial brackets fixed to the wall. The graduations, which were established by Prof. l.. A. Fischer of the United States bureau of standards, Washing ton, were at zero, one foot, one yard. one meter, ten feet, 25 feet, 50 feet, 66 feet, 20 meters, 30 meters and 100 feet, and at each of these points disk of an alloy of go per cent platinum and ten per cent iridium 5.16 inch in diameter was inserted in the rod flush with it's surface, the exact division point being marked on the disk. The work of graduation proved remarkably accurate, as is shown by the correction table furnished for use in connection with comparisons of measures.

MOTHER! LOOK AT
 CH|LD'S TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated, give "CaIifornia Syrup
 of Figs"

A laxative today saves sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste. liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, mother! If coat ed, or your child is listless, cross, few erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's S ailment, give teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thor ough inside cleansing" is ofttimes all that is necessary, It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

that Horton would not listen to his condolences. The delegated spokes- man warned Wilfred that Samson South had spoken pointedly of him, and advised cautious conduct, in a fashion calculated to infiame.
 Samson, it was falsely alleged. had accused him of saying derogatory things in his absence, which he would hardly venture to repeat in his pres ence In short, 1t was put to Horton to announce his opinion openly, or eat the crow of >cowardice.
 That evening, when Samson went to his room, Farbish joined him.
 I've been greatly annoyed to find" he said, seating himself on Samson's s bed, "that Horton arrived today"
 T reckon that's all right" said Sam son. He's a member, isn't he?'
 Farbish appeared dubious.
 T don't want to appear in the guise of a prophet of trouble" he said, but you are my guest here, and I must warn you. Horton thinks of you as a gun-fighter' and a dangerous man. He won't takes chances with you. If there is a clash, it will be serious. He doesn't often drink, but today he's doing it, and may be ugly. Avoid an altercation if you can, but if it comes" He broke off and added seri-

I'm going to be that friend Don't you see that this thing is a damned frame-up? .. Don't you see that l was brought here to murder you?" He turned suddenly to Farbish.
 Why did you insist on my putting that in my pocket Samson took out the pistol, and threw it down on the table-cloth in front of Wilfred, where 1t struck and shivered a half-filled ne-glass-"and why did you warn me that this man meant to kill me ? l was meant to be your catspaw to put Wilfred Horton out of your way. I may be barbarian and a savage, but l can smell rat-if it's dead enough
 For an instant there was absolute and hushed calm. Wilfred Horton picked up the discarded weapon and looked at 1t in bewildered stupefac tion, then slowly his face famed with distressing modification.
 Any time you want to fight me- Samson had turned again to face him and was still talking in his deadly quiet voice-"except tonight, you can find me. I've never been hit before without hitting back. That blow has got to be paid for-but the man that's really responsible has got to pay first

DOWN TO BASE OF SUPPLY
Manager of Supply Company Forced to a Compromise With Receipt
 of Large Order.

The tea companies were fighting Each other for the trade of the town. The Bee Tea company gave premiums with each pound of tea, while the Gee Tea company did not. The result was that the latter concern was being pushed to the wall. Finally the Gee Tea people realized that they must give premiums or quit.
 So. after careful consideration. they decided to give quart of milk with each pound of tea. Business picked up at once.
 q understand you give a quart of milk with each pound of tea said lady one day.
 Quite right" answered the mana ger.
 Well, I'm Mrs. Ketchem of Holden 6, Starvem. We operate string of ten boarding houses here. l want 150 pounds of tea. Do get 150 quarts of milk?"
 'Why-er-I think so," stammered the manager. Twill you wait till l go back and look over the supply?' Tn minute he came back.
 Madam" he whispered, q have fig ured up and find that if you will take 200 pounds of tea we can give you i cow" .-...- .r

with the preliminaries settled he who had struck Samson in the face must give satisfaction for the blow. Horton was sober, as cold sober as though he had jumped into ice-water, and though he was not in the least afraid, he was mortified, and, had apology at such time been possible, would have made 1t. He knew that he had misjudged his man; he saw the outlines of the plot as plainly as Samson had seen them, though more tardiiy.
 Samsons toe touched the pistol which had dropped from Farbish's hand and he contemptuously kicked 1t to one side. He came back to his place.
 Now, Mir Horton" he said to the man who stood looking about with a dazed expression, If you're still of the same mind, l can accommodate you You lied when you said I was a say age-though just now 1t sort of looks like I was, and"-he paused, then added-"and I'm ready either to fight or shake hands Either way suits me-"
 For the moment, Horton did not speak, and Samson slowly went on:
 But, whether we fight or not, you've got to shake hands with me when we're finished You and me ain't going to start no feud This is the first time I've ever refused to let man be my enemy if he wanted to. I've got my reasons I'm going to make you shake hands with me whether you like it or not but if you want to fight first it's satisfactory. You said awhile ago you would be glad to be more explicit with me when we were alone He paused | and looked about the room. Shall throw these damned murderers out of here, or will you go into another room and talk?'
 Leave them where they are" said Horton, quietly. Well go into the reading-room. Have you killed any of them?"
 q don't know" said the other. curt ly, "and I don't care"
 When they were alone, Samson went on:
 q know what you want to ask me about, and don't mean to answer you You want to question me about Miss Lescott. Whatever she and l have done doesn't concern you. l will say this much-if I've been ignorant O New York ways and my ignorance hai embarrassed her, I'm sorry
 q supposed you know that she's tot damned good for you-just like she too good for me. But she thinks mort of you than she does of me-and she yours AS for me, I have nothing {, apologize to you for. Maybe, I hav' something to ask her pardon about but she hasn't asked it.

SLEEP WAS NOT FOR HER
Little One Got What Consolation She Could Out of Foregoing Prom

The parentally imposed afternoon nap has long been chlldnood's hene. Harry S. Smith, secretary of the park board was telling the other day of difficulties of afternoon mapping expe- rienced by his offspring.
 A youthful daughter is especially given to insomnia at the time in the afternoon when it Is insisted that she shall nap. It is no fault of hers She strives strenuously to WOO Morpheus, but to no avail. The sleep god Is CO., quettish and he comes only when he can steal upon his victims.
 The other afternoon the tot was do- ing her best to sleep. Dutifully she closed her eyes, breathed rhythmically and counted sheep jumping over the fence, as instructed. Sleep would not come. But 1t would never do to dis appoint a parent. So when the ques- tion came, Are you sleeping, daugh- ter?" she murmured slumberously, "Uh-huh.'

KNOW NOW And Will Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee thinker who has suffered changing from coffee to Postum knows something valuable. There's no doubt about it.
 T learned the truth about coffee in peculiar way" says a California wom- an. My husband who has, for years, been Of bilious temperament decided to leave off coffee and give Postum trial, and as did not want the trouble of making two beverages for meals l concluded to try Postum, too. The re- suits have been that while my husband has been greatly benefited, have my self received even greater benefit.
 When I began to drink Postum 1 was thin in flesh and very nervous. Now I actually weigh 16 pounds more than I did at that time and I am stronger physically and in my nerves, while husband is free from all his ails. We have learned our little lesson about coffee and we know something about Postum, too, for we have used Postum now steadily for the last three years and we shall continue to do so.
 we have no more use for coffee the drug drink. We prefer Postum and health"
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs.

play truant from business for a day or two, and wished to see Samson comfortably ensconced and introduced
 The first day Farbish and Samson had the place to themselves, but the next morning would bring others.
 The next day, while the mountain ger was out on the flats, the party of men at the club had been swelled to a total of six, for in pursuance of the carefully arranged plans of MT. Farbish, MT. Bradburn had succeeded in inducing Wilfred Horton to run down for day or two of the sport he loved. When Horton arrived that afternoon, he found his usually even temper ruffled by bits of maliciously broached gossip, until his resentment against Samson South had been famed into danger heat. He did not know that South also was at the club, and he did not that afternoon go out to the blinds, but so far departed from his usual custom as to permit himself to sit for several hours in the club grill.
 And yet, as is often the case in care fully designed affairs, the one element that made most powerfully for the success of Farbish's scheme was pure accident. The carefully arranged meet ing between the two men, the adroitly melted passions of each, would still have brought no clash, had not Will fred Horton been affected by the flush ing effect of alcohol. Since his college days, he had been invariably abstemi- ous Tonight marked an exception.
 He was rather surprised at the cor diality of the welcome accorded him, for, as chance would have it, except for Samson South, whom he had not yet seen, all the other sportsmen were men closely allied to the politi- he had been making war Still, since they seemed willing to forget for the time that there had been a breach, he was equally so. Just now, he was feeling such bitterness for the Ken tuckian that the foes of a less per sonal sort seemed unimportant.
 In point of fact, Wilfred Horton had spent very bad day. The final straw had broken the back of his usually unruffled temper, when he had found in his room on reaching the Kenmore copy of certain New York weekly paper, and had read page, which chanced to be lying face up Ga chance carefully prearranged). It was an item of which Farbish had known, in ad vance of publication, but Wilfred would never have seen that sheet had it not been so carefully brought to his attention. There were hints of the strange infatuation which a certain young woman seemed to en certain for partially civilized stran ger who had made his entree to New York via the police court, and who wore his hair long in imitation of a biblical character of the same name The supper at the Wigwam inn was place intimated. Horton felt this ob jectionable innuendo was directly traceable to Adrienne's ill-judgeG friendship for the mountaineer, anG he bitterly blamed the mountaineer And, while he had been breeding or these matters, a man acting as Far bish's ambassador had dropped into his room, since Farbish himself knew
