He ventured to look at Nora, whom
this announcement was intended to Inn
press. She had listened to his story at
first with disdainful Indifference, but
as it proceeded her interest grew until
It became very deep. She began to see
all kinds Of qualities in the Duke
which, strangely enough, had not been
visible to her before. For the first
time 1t struck her that he was good
looking, and when at last he overcame
his bashfulness sufficiently to glance
in her direction she was smiling at
him amiably, and her gaze meeting his
set the blood pulsing wildly through
his veins and his heart to beating VIC
lently.
When Mallory and O'Brien came in
from the stables little later the for
mer had already been made acquainted
by Patsy with the Dukes story and
desires. That evening there was
lengthy conference between the trainer
and the ex-stable boy, who remained
for the night as the guest Of the fam
fly. The next day both started for
New York, and the Duke knew as
much about the financial conditions
and possibilities of the stable as NAL
lory did himself.
About the most amazed man in New
York was Richard Crawford when his
loan and Morals debt were repaid and
his partnership interest in the training
stable as determined by the dissolution
proceedings duly settled. He was fur
Their baked of his revenge by the fact
that neither Patsy nor Nora sought
another engagement on the stage. Nora
had become suddenly reconciled to
staying at home and, to the delight Of
her parents, had recovered her vivacity
likewise her righteousness. The one
person she was disagreeable with was
the Shrimp, who had returned to Ma
pie Grove in the capacity Of head
stable boy.
Mallory was helped not little in
the reorganization Of his affairs by
the fact that Mr.. Perkins-no one save
Mrs. O'Brien continued to call him the
Duke, and he liked to be SO designated
by her-had insisted, against Mallory's
advice, on buying Lady Belle for him
self at the price offered for her by
McGovern. The purchase was made
for sentimental reasons that Mallory
could know nothing about, but the
retention Of the mare proved big
thing for the stable subsequently. In
fact, Dams new partner developed an
enterprise and ability that lifted the
business upon plane where Mallory
admitted in his heart of hearts that he
unaided in this manner never could
have placed it.

Belle, but he no longer needed her as
confidante. He was bent on MUIR

when the proper time and opportunity
should come, and he had every reason
to hope that 1t would not be unfavor-

1t would require about 6,35S,00 days
for one wagon, or that number of
wagons for one day, to haul from the
farms Of the country the portion Of the
corn crop that is marketed in an aver
age year. 1t would require one wagon
6,857,O0O days to haul the average
wheat crop to the market or to ship
ping points and 2,532,Ooo days to haul
the cotton crop.
These figures are contained in a farm
bulletin just issued by the department
of agriculture, which deals with the
subject of wagon hauls for farm prod
ucts. According to this bulletin, the
average distance of the farms Of the
United States from market is over six
miles, while those farthest away from
market average more than eight miles.
The average distance Of farms in
New York state from the market is
five miles, while the average for the
more remote farms is seven miles.
This means that for the general aver
age New York farmers are one and
one-half miles and those more remote
ly located IL miles nearer market than
farmers generally throughout the coun-
try.
It would require one farm wagon
53,4OO days to haul to market an aver
age wheat crop in New York state.
while the marketed portion Of an aver
age corn crop could be hauled by one
wagon in 3,4OO days.
The bulletin is based on reports re-
ceived from county and township crop
correspondents by the bureau of crop

dressed in costumes Of the colonial
period of our history. In those days
the dress of both men and women vas
much more elaborate than the styles
that now prevail. Men wore their

powdered it on dress occasions. Very
quaint and pretty the little folks look

here pictured is Miss Phyllis Bryne.
Doesn't she look sweet as a lady of
the olden time? There were many
more similarly dressed, and after the
tableaux they danced the minuet and
the Virginia reel. The little dancers
made a charming picture, had a good
time and at the same time did some

Missing Word Game.

A game that affords much amuse-
ment is played with a letter that has
been written beforehand, with blank
spaces left where the adjectives be-
long. The writer does not let the play
ers know what he has written, but
asks each for an adjective, placing the
adjective so given In the blank spaces
in regular order. When the spaces
have all been filled the letter is read
to the company, and it never fails to be
amusing.
The game may be varied by leaving
a number Of blank spaces, and instead
of asking for adjectives to fill them the
writer may ask for any part Of speech
that the players may choose to give
him. AS no n knows about what the
letter is written. a very incongruous
epistle will be the result.

estimates. These reports show that
the longer hauls to market generally
are in cotton states Or in the Rocky
mountain region. The smaller load:
also are in the cotton states. The aver
age size of a wagon load of cotton is
three bales, or 1900 pounds, while the
average wagon load of wheat is $50
bushels, or 5000 pounds.
However, while the size of the cotton
load is much smaller than that Of the
corn load, the value of the former is
greater. The average value of a load
Of cotton, based on farm prices Dec.
l, 1913. was S1S3; wheat. $43; corn.
$28.
The bulletin states that wagon hauls
are much shorter this year than 1906,
when the last similar inquiry was
made.
Railroad building" it is stated,
during the past nine years has
brought some farms nearer to shipping
points and markets and has helped to
shorten the average distance hauled
and to increase the average number of
trips per day.
During the seven years following
1906 more than $4,000 miles of new
railroad were built, and several thou
sand more miles have been added since
1913. so that there are at least Is per
cent more miles of steam railroads in
the United States nov than in 1905.
I'm addition to this new mileage Of
steam railroads the hauls of some
farmers have no doubt been shortened
by new freight carrying electric rail-
roads,"
The figures indicate a considerable
rise in the average cost per day to the
farmer in hauling his products. How
ever. this higher cost per day is offset
partly or wholly by the larger quaint
ties hauled per day in 1915 compared
with 1906.

HISTORIC CAPITOL BUILDING.

The Fourth of July this year marks
the seventy fifth anniversary of the
LAYING of the cornerstone of the his
toric old stone capitol at Iowa City.
There is no other building in the state
about which cluster SO many memoir
les Of the establishment and early
history of government in Iowa. Here,
from 1912 to 1857. the general assem-
bly held its sessions and passed laws
of far-reaching importance. first for
the territory and later for the state.
In this building were drawn up both
the constitution of 1916, under which
Iowa was admitted into the union,~and
the present state constitution which
has now been in operation nearly six
ty years. Here also was passed the
law which established the State His
torical society of Iowa, an institution
which ever since has been actively en-
gagged in preserving and recording
the history of the state.
The laying OF the corner stone OF
the old stone capitol on July 4, 1910,
was great event for the pioneers of
the vicinity. Although there were only
a few buildings where Iowa City now
stands. the settlers came from far
and near ito hear the speeches, the
principal one being delivered by Rob-
ert Lucas, the governor OF the terri
tory of Iowa. Afterward there was a
big picnic dinner on the plat of
ground which had been laid out for a
city park.

The last session of congress

The last session of congress was
an extremely eXtravagant, one and
yet it appropriated $113,o00,000 less
than the executive departments urged
it to appropriate. Let this fact sink
into the minds of those who advocate
a national budget system for the
United States. That budget system
is desirable, few will question, but
those who believe in economical adj
ministration will also agree that the
control OF the budget board or COM
mission should be in congress and
not in the departments. The reason
for this is plain. The head of each
department, upon the i;isistent recon-
mendations of his subordinates, and
because of his desire to expand the
activities of his office asks congress
for larger appropriations for work
already in hand and for new appro-
priations for new governmental &C
tivities. He is naturally impressed
with the Importance of his depart
ment and Is more or less actuated by
vanity and ambition. Congress. the
only branch of government chosen
directly by the people and including
men from every walk of life, is not
influenced by personal ambition, so
far as departmental expenditures are

WAR ELIMINATES HORSE.

The extent to which the war has
depleted the supply of high class
American horses is pointed out by #.
X. Sturgis, widely known in finan-
cial circles, and who as vice chair
man of the Jockey club has charge OF
that organizations bureau of breed
ing in New York state.
"The economic waste the struggle
has created is not generally realized
said Mr.. Sturgis. THE announcement
that we have exported S59,O0O,COO
worth of horses and mules since the
war started will not mean much ex-
cept to the initiated, but it takes on
tremendous importance when we
learn that during the entire period OF
the Boer war, which lasted from
October, 1889 to June, 1912, the Bri-
fish government purchased all told
47O, 600 horses. of which we supplied
los, S39 head During the same period
they bought 1860 mules, of which
we furnished S1.524 head.
sit appears from this that the Unit
ed States has furnished for Gerat
Britain, France and Italy in the
last ten months almost as many horses
and mules as the British government
bought in all countries during the
almost three years of hostilfties in
South Africa. When the hundreds Of
thousands of horses supplied by other
countries are considered and it is re.
membered that the average life of
| horse in the actual war zone Is but
! ten days, some idea of the neccssit3
of stimulating the breeding interests
is apparent.
Some faint idea of the rate at
which the horse is being eliminated
may be gathered by reference t. sta
tistics in connection with this army
J of , the Potomac during the
