for nearly twenty years now with the
same waiter.
When the Sheridan House was opened
with grand banquet, and all the best
families duly represented, it was supposed
to be about the last word in hotels. But
that was in 1872, when Tyre itself had
only thirty thousand inhabitants-each
with proper sense Of its honorable i'm
portance- the automobiles that Gre
ated its later fortunes were undreamed of.
Now, of course, nobody thought of
going to the little dingy old Sheridan
House--at least, nobody except farmers
and Captain Waite. The gliding on the
dining-room ceiling had long since turned
dismally brassy; the black-walnut chairs
looked antediluvian; Henry, the waiter
at the corner table, had grown almost as
banched as the Captain himself, and
under the white hair his wrinkled face
looked ebony black. He stood a little to
one side, holding the finger-bowl and DIM
ner-check, already smiling and fully pre-
pared for the ceremonial bow with which
he placed those objects before the diner.
He had stood so for some minutes, in fact,
and again peered rather anxiously up at
the once gilded clock surrounded by tar
nished cupids.
Certainly the clock said six minutes

n TOTHING, they would have told
you that evening, had ever hap
pened to the Tyre Beacon, or ever
L could happen to it. For nearly
fifty years Captain Adoniram Waite had
edited it in the same way--presumably he
would 60 on editing it the same way for
another fifty years. The man and his
paper seemed to have reached state of
toughness, like so much petrified wood,
that simply turned theedge of Time steeth.
So they would have told you any time
that evening; but by two o'clock in the
morning-bitter cold and showing some
thing quite momentous had undeniably
happened.
To get the event in proper perspective,
we must go back to seven o'clock in the
evening-almost exactly seven; only a
very few minutes before or very few
minutes after. For in these last years,
those with whom he had dined and who
had dined with him being dead or inca
pacitated by aged infirmities, it was al
ways just about seven o'clock-never
more than very few minutes before or
after-when Captain Adoniram Waite
stumped into the dining-room of the
Sheridan House, with bundle of news
papers under his arm, for his solitary dim
ner-always at the same corner table. and

GueIl. Ills appearance was UIe SuDJeCC
of many jokes through the impersonal
medium of rival prints; but it was very
well understood that any one at all who
made it the subject of face-to-face
joke would get the stout stick over his
head with instant promptness.
That was the universal impression
of Captain Adoniram Waite-a man of
still formidable passions, ready to fight
anything or everything at the drop of the
hat. 1t showed in the set of his wrinkled
jaw-almost colorless now, with only
the yellowish tinge of old white paper
and in the CLEAN of his eyes under
shaggy brows.
So, at eight minutes past eight, he
stumped out of the Sheridan House to
the street, where the tagging was sloppy
with new snow.
1t was just block to the old three
story brick building-now shabbily
squatting at the rear of the newest sky
scraper-that still housed the Beacon.
He stalked through the dimly lighted
and almost deserted counting-room, and
up a narrow and crooked fight of stairs
at the rear to the editorial offices. In
his own corner room, he flung off his hat
and capeand sat down at big blackwell
nut desk piled high with editorial litter.
IN an older building on that same
spot, under his uncle's editorship, he
was in a similar room when news came
that Fort Sumter had been fired upon.
He himself had sat at the desk when
they learned that Lincoln was assassi-
mated. Since that night there had been
perhaps twoscore nights altogether
when, at some time between 8 F.M. and
2 AM, he had not sat at the editor-in-
chiefs desk, directing the paper.
1t seemed almost like an established
order of nature. The sun rose; the sea-
sons changed; old Titherington, in the
den three doors away, edited the weekly
edition; and Captain Adoniram Waite
stumped in about eight. At two in the
morning he stumped out again, through
the empty counting-room to the empty
street; and into cab which drove him to
the modest two-story brick house that had
been his bachelor home for thirty years
But there was no stumping out this
morning. Paige, the managing editor,
pushed open the door of the corner room
at half past one, and found its occupant
stone dead before the old black-walnut
desk, one bony hand clutching its edge,
his head dropped forward until it almost
rested upon the editorial litter.
If it had been Weston or Keith, the
automobile magnates, or Ferraro, who had
just broken the world record by driving
five hundred miles in less than five hun
dred minutes, Tyre would have been con-
sideraby excited by this dramatic exit
But the dramatic exit of one whom it only
vaguely and indifferently apprehended as
a funny old man who owned dull old
newspaper, left it quite unimpressed. The
new school census, indicating a population
of three hundred and fifty thousand, was
vastly more exciting.
The Leader and the Sentinel put the
news of Captain Adoniram Waite's sud-
den demise ovei~on the third page; but
the Leader next day discovered the will
in the possession of Lycurgas Case, and
got very amusing story out of that. 1t

was surprised, for he
couldn't remember that
the Captain had ever be-
fore tarried that long
after eight. Captain
Waite himself was sur
prised, as he looked up
from the outspread page
that had held his atten-
ton. With unwonted
haste he signed the check
and arose-awkwardly,
for his right leg was stiff,
the years-after result Of
a wound received at
Gettysburg.
Henry with the usual
deferential hustle put the
cape over the Captains
shoulders, faded mil
itarish garment such as
nobody else had worn for
ages,-handed him his
stout stick, and gathered
up the newspapers into
u bundle which the Cap
tain tucked under his
left arm.
He had never been
over five feet eight, and
his shoulders stopped
now IL meager, hard
fibered, hickory-knot sort
of man, with his stiff right
leg, the stout, crook
handled stick grasped in
his right hand, the bundle
of newspapers under his
left arm, enveloped in the
faded, militarish cloak.
One could not imagine
he had ever been any
thing but homely. His
narrow forehead sloped;
the big, dubious nose
seemed to belong to
another face. His thick,
snow-white mustache
and imperial were orna-
mental only in that he

relatives and to a number of old en-
ployees, and left the residuary estate to
the Shelby School for Young Ladies over
at Markham, Kentucky. AS deceased
had been a bachelor of notoriously crusty
temper, and had never within living mem-
ory exhibited any particular interest in
ladies, young or old, that was considered
an amusing eccentricity-which rose TO
the height of mild sensation when it was
presently discovered that Captain Adoni-
ram Waite had been decidedly thrifty
person, and that the residuary estate,
after the Beacon was sold, amounted to
two hundred thousand dollars.
THE Bridges-Teller-Tha combina-
ton bought the paper,-their speciality
being the termination Of moribund jour
nalism,-and Bob Thatcher himself came
on to take charge until the termination
was we'll under way Through the count
ing-room, then, up the narrow, crooked

blanched and limping figure of Adoniram
Waite. but rather burly person OF
eight-and-thirty, with passion for big
checked ulsters and long, low, yellow rae
ing ears; person of no discoverable
reverence, to whom sentiment was
joke, but of swift, surprising decisions and
ready laughter.
Between tossing the big-checked ul-
ster into chair and lighting pipe, he ex-
pressed his view of the situation to the
new managing editor, whom he had
brought with him, as follows

following timely

offers the following timely
suggestions:
To prevent sorehead and other
kindred diseases that commonly
appear at this season of the year,
feed sulphur and salts to the
poultry as follows: Give half
teaspoonful of salts to every
chicken under three pounds in
weight. Mix il with the feed.
They will object TO such feed at
first but let them get real
hungry and they will eat it.
Repeat this dose each week. If
the disease breaks out you will
notice it at first as small wart-
like knots on the comb and
wattles. AS soon as these knots
are noticed, paint the comb and
wattles of the of the affected
chickens with iodine and give a
teaspoonful of salts. The follow
ing day paint again. This will
cure all cases if taken in time.
To get rid of mites spray with
pure kerosene oil or a five per
cent solution of Kreso Dip No.
1, and to kill lice dip the chick
ems in a II per cent solution of
Kreso Dip No. I.
To forestall an outbreak of
Cholera or its neighbor, Diar-
rhoea, clean up and disinfect
with a five per cent Kreson Dip
No. l whitewash. If birds are
not very bad treat with a tea
spoonful of castor oil with one
drop of carbolic acid in it. Give
this daily for two days. If this
gives no relief, the best way
then to control the disease is to
treat with the hatchet and fire.
Limberneck is caused from
poisoned flesh or some other
poisoned food. To control it re-
move the cause and then clean
up and white wash. Give affect
ed birds a tablespoonful of castor
oil or salts. Repeat the follow
ing day if not better. If no
better the third day they are
usually too far gone to save.

Paper Makers Are Urged
to mize by
Trade Board
To Avert National Calamity Of
Wholesale Suspension of
Small Publications Co
Operation is Asked
By Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 30.-Ad-
ditional ecenenies and more
active cooperation in the manu-
facture and consumption of news
print paper are suggested in a
letter addressed to each member
of the News Print Manufactur-
ers' Association by the Federal
Trade Commission and made
public today.
Because of the increasing
shortage publishers of the small
er daily and and weekly news
papers throughout the country
fear they will have to suspend
publication. The letter says the
suspension of these papers would
be "a national calamity"
The commission suggests that
the association take steps to in
sure publishers not protected by
contracts that they will con-
tinue to receive a supply, that
steps be taken to restrain middle
men from charging unreasona-
BILE and prohibitive prices; that
Sunday operation of paper mills
and the transferring of machines
operating on other grades of
paper to the manufacture of
news print paper, be considered;
and that officials of labor unions
be approached regarding Sunday
work.
The situation the letter says,
is one which calls for patriotic
action by all parties concerned.
