LACK OF MONEY

1t is not always that a lack Of money
Is a benefit.
A lady in Ark. owes her health to
the fact that she could not pay in

Il had been treated by four different
physicians during 10 years of stomach

said he could cure me in four months,

Just at that moment Siletz came in
at the west door and, crossing the
big room, stood looking out upon the
group on the porch. Her dark eyes
rested first with a f~eeting glance or
Sandry and then she saw the other.
She did not speak but leaned against
the door-jamb drinking in this appa-
rition. In the little pause that fell
presently she turned to the old lady
Yes, mother" she said softly,
please do"
The stranger flashed a brilliant
glance at her, and with an inimitably
pretty gesture reached out a glOved
hand and patted her arm, bare under
the rolled-up sleeve.
Mr., Sandry," called John Daily,
standing on the foot-log, will ye come

AS Sandry joined his foreman he
saw that something had ruffled the
usually placid temper of the slow
giant.

"Hampden of the Yella Pines is in
the Office" said Daily sharply, AN
from his looks he's got somethin'
nasty up his sleeve"
"Oh, yes-Hampden-he's one of the
owners, isn't he?"
The two men walked back to the Of
flee and found, seated in the swing
chair, with his feet on Sandry's desk,
a short, square mar with a face and
manner which set Sandry on edge at

at it from all sides, noticed a few
blazes on the nearest trees, read a
clumsily executed trespass notice, and
returned to camp.

TAXI that shack to pieces just as quick
as you know how. Don't leave a
trace. Bring the timbers away and
start telling from that end to meet the
trail"
AS the foreman went among the
men picking his crew, Sandry turned
down across the slough toward the of
flee. Once settled at his desk, he took
out the records of the Dillingworth
company and began a systematic
search for word of the narrow tract of
hill and timber between the camp and
the fine East Belt.
When Daily returned at quitting
time to report the demolition OF the
cabin and the start of the new cutting,
he had found nothing.
That's strange" he said uneasily.
Are these all the records, Daily? Has
anything ever been destroyed? | can
find nothing bearing on this piece of
land, and yet the statement turned
over to me by Frazer distinctly says
that everything from the southwest
| section corner here at the camp within
a radius of five miles north and east
belongs to us, with numbers, and all
data. What does this Hampden mean,
and what sort of a tract is this strip ?
| see no mention made of it,"
"No-that strip was part of the East
Belt. The company bought it four
year age from a busted Spectator,
who sold 'em first the north stumpage
an then this at a sacrifice price.
That's why Hampden's always ben so
sore over it. He wanted it himself

to knock it, but old Frazer beat him
to it an won out. Finally it was
settled an the strip come under the
East Belt deed"
"Oh, | see!" said Sandry, shifting a
sheaf of papers. Here it is. Well
that's a relief. And now for this Mis-.
ter Hampden."
But Hampden was for himself and
with a vengeance.
That evening Sandry met Silet2

Confiscatory Gas Rates

The city council of Kalamazoo has
passed an ordinance fixing the maxi
mum rate for gas furnished by the
Michigan Light Company at rs cents
per 1000 cubic feet. 1t is hardly
likely that the company will accept
the maximum rate of rs cents. The
municipal ownership proposition was
defeated, and now the council is evil
IDENTIFY trying to get back at the COM
pany. The question will probably
have to be threshed out in the courts.
The franchise Of the Michigan Light
Company has expired and the council
is using this as lever with which to
force a confiscatory rate.
What will the city officials do when
the company refuses to abide by the
terms of the new ordinance? Will it
attempt to stop the company from do
ing business? That would seem to
be the plan the council should pursue.
In such an event the members of the
council swould probably need heavy
bodyguard of police to protect them
from the wrath of the consumers who
would be cut off.
The city of Kalamazoo is a distinct
loser because of its attitude toward
public service corporations. How
can the city expect to interest outside
capital when it assumes the attitude
oft rying to confiscate property? 1t
can't and it won't Michigan Inves-
tor.

No More Old Ladies'

From the time a woman is married
her years are filled with cares and re-
sponsibilities until, finally, the chill
dren grow up, marry, leave home, and,
husband having developed the poise
and content of the usual elderly per-
son, she finds to her amazement that
she is free. Then comes the period of
wild oats. She keeps a date book,
goes to clubs, has a place on boards
of things, travels on the federation
special across continent, lives at no
tells, sends her own kilograms, orders
taxis, treats other women to lunch
cons and dinners, makes speeches,
votes if she has a chance, legislates,
uplifts and keeps telephone on her
desk. These are only few, If she
is not interested in this sort of thing
you will discover her tucked away in
the back seat Of a touring car, where
she is not the least trouble in the
world and is always, under all cir
cumstances, perfectly splendid
credential of responsibility. Two gen.
erations ago women of her age were
senile and sat in the chimney corner
where they would be out of the way.
But the chimney corner went out of
architecture and she was just as ma
turally uprooted. There are fewer
old ladies' homes than there promis-
ed to be, Not while grandmother
can wear her grandchildren shoes
and hats and sashes and beads is she
going to an old ladies' home. A
generation ago there promised to be
a call for an old ladies' home in ev-
cry block. 1t is wonderful how we
old ladies have become transformed
and fairly forced another issue. OF
course, we are sowing our wild oats
We have made a. place for ourselves.
Hurrah Really, there are no old lad
les. Ask the millinerl

forgotten them. He says Latin and
Greek would not be eliminated be-
cause their literatures are less won
derful than they are reputed TO be,
but because their present position in
the curriculum rests upon tradition
and assumption"
Under the new plan, aside from the
reading, writing, spelling and fgur-
ing, the-curriculum would be built out
of actual activities in science, indus
try, aesthetics and civics and ,prae-
teal training in one or more modern
languages.
The important feature of this en-
tire plan in relation to the Chautau-
qua and Lyceum is found in the fact
that in selecting a location to the
proposed modern school, Mr.. Flexner,
among the assets of a city for educa-
tional purposes, speaks of lectures,
concerts and plays.
This, however, but emphasizes
what is becoming more and more rec
ognized every year, that the Lyceum
and Chautauqua really hold in store
educational advantages necessary to
modern education.

UNITED PARTY in MICHIGAN

Sleeper for governor and a united
Republican party in Michigan"
According to reports received dur
ing the past week from every section
of the state by Albert E. Sleeper of
Bad Axe, this slogan has been adopt
ed by the candidates for county Office
and the Republican workers who are
confident that Charles +. Hughes and
Albert E. Sleeper will head a united
party to a magnificent victory at the
November election.
Entrenched to some extent by fed
eral patronage and state jobs obtain
ed during the Wilson and Ferris adj
ministrations, Democrats in some
sections Of the state are planning des-
perate assaults on the Republican
lines next November.
In Charles E. Hughes the Republi-
can party has candidate who will
sweep Michigan by a tremendous ma
jority. To successfully repulse the
Democrats all along the line it is nee
essary that the Republican candidate
for governor be a leader capable of
welding all factions together.
From all indications the county can
didates-the boys in the trenches
fell that it is necessary to nominate a
man to head the state ticket who will
make their campaigns easier in the
fall.
While many of the candidates for
county Office have primary contests Of
their own and are unable to partici-
pate actively in the gubernatorial
campaign, many are quietly passing
the word to their friends that Sleep
er's nomination will cinch their cleo
ton in November.
During the Republican state con-
vention last spring many leaders de-
clared that the sentiment among the
delegates was practically unanimous
for Sleeper. 81 venture the predic-
tion," declared man who has watch
ed conventions for many years, "that
if vote could be taken in this con-
vention today, eighty per cent Of the
delegates would favor Sleeper"
